Dr Matthews is an excellent teacher, if you are having a problem understanding what she is teaching she is more than happy to take the time to explain it to you. very important to attend all classes.
this women is educated in what shes teaching. as long as your trying she will give you all the help you need. great teacher!!!!
I like her personally and she makes the class interesting but I feel stupid when I cant understand what she is saying so i constanly repeat "what?"
Not easy to understand. Do the study guide and read the chapter you will do fine. not very clear on what she want.
All quizzes are written response questions, memorize things word for word. Don't expect multiple choice questions unless its an exam. Class is an all period long lecture...it gets boring. She has an accent. I got used to it, but others didn't. Shes a good teacher though. Always is willing to explain things for you
Very hard to understand not very clear on her instructions. I took class on the internet. She is very slow to respond to email.
Easy class! She gets ALL of her test questions from the Study Guides.
Best teacher at IRCC. She is really helpful, I took 6 classes this semester, and she was the best teacher. It's a challenging class, but just put forth the effort and she'll help with the rest. Provided instant feedback all the time, accent took some getting used to though
Good teacher, knows her material. Easy to get an A. She gives quizzes that have the exact material that you will need for the tests. Would take her again!
excellent teacher that makes learning interesting and fun...you'll get use to the accent in about two days
Very good teacher! Very well organized with her quizzes and tests, all test questions come straight from the quizzes that she gives you the answers to in her lectures. I'm taking 2 more of her classes this fall.
Nice lady. The class didn't require too much effort. Tests were multiple choice, but the quizes were usually 10 questions, not multiple choice. Pretty easy, required minimal study time, if you paid attention. She has a heavy accent, but you get used to it. I would recomend her.
easy class if you do your study questions for the chapter. test are multiple choice. she drops your 2 lowest quiz grades and your lowest test grade. you only take 3 test. she is a very good teacher but kind of boring.
Lovely woman. Extremly approachable. Enjoyed learning the sociological science. I would take her again for a class.
I had a hard time adapting to her heavy accent. Class is generally uneventful but informative. Easy tests & assignments.
i really enjoyed intro to sociology, had no idea what it was.. Qizzes were online only. You get 3 attemps at each. Exams were multiple choice. Wriring assignments were a challenge but i got A's for my effort. She has all of powerpoint notes available online (print them out in the puter lab) - overall this class was the best i had.
She Rocks! She makes learning fun, keeps it interesting, Just come to class, participate, take good notes, do your quizzes and you will learn alot. Excellent Professor, if you need any of her classes take her!
This professor makes class worth going. Easy, just do the quizzes and study them, and get no less than a 90 on the exams! Got questions, no problem, just ask! i got an 89 in the class, and she GAVE me a A. She's down to earth, my cousin took her also, we love her!!!
Had this instructor for my first online class (Social Problesm) and it was very easy!! She gives you study questions and quizzes and if you do the study questions and study the quiz, you will ace the test. I never even read the book. Loved her!! Communication was excellent and everything was spelled out for you then entire semester.
I love this professor. She is very intelligent and helpful. The tests come write out of the stufy guide and the notes. Going to class is definetly necessary but you learn about interesting stuff. great teacher i would definetly take her again!!
I would highly recommend this class and instructor. She made the class exciting and was always concerned about her students and their success. I would take any class she offered because she is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I took this class online. It was the easiest class ever. I didn't learn anything. The textbook is VERY general and not at all interesting. That is not the professors fault though. Mathews seemed alright. However, she did drop the ball on the discussion questions. The discussion questions were very uninteresting and non-thought provoking.
She is a good teacher. The final is not comprehensive, which is great. I took her for SYG 2000 as well. The class is interesting so it did not require much study time for me. This class would be great to take if you have a couple of really heavy classes because it is a light load.
Overall the class is easy, the final is not comprehensive which is great. Test questions come right from study questions & online quizzes. A great class to take with a heavy load. You do have 4-5 writing assignments but they are easy. I did them all the nght before & got an A on all of them (& I'm not a writer)
She has a beautiful voice, and has a accent. I can understand her but if you aren't used to accents, dont take this class. She uses WebCT a lot. Makes use of resources. Very good teacher. You have to be in class and do some homework. So if you are lazy go away.
her class is so easy..not alot of studying is required. i studied the night before for about an hour and got high A's on her tests. her writing assignments are a piece of cake. there is no reason to get below an A. she also does pop quizes but they dont count against you and it gives you extra points if you get them right. I RECOMMEND FOR EASY A!!!
easy class. she kept it very interesting. i would definitely recommend this teacher
this was easy...but had too many assignments..there were 4 eassys....online quzzies for each chapter.....and she counts aginst you if you dont come to class....okay teacher but i wouldnt take her again.......pick somone else
Easy A! She's a very sweet lady, helps you out if you need it, not a lot of studying is required, very easy class! Would reccomend her!
Great Professor!! An easy A! I took her class last fall, she drops the lowest grade. The essay are 2 pages doubled spaced max. Very helpful... Take her!!! The material she gives you is what's on her exams... :)
Dr. Mathews is an excellent teacher! Do her study guides and youll get an A in the class
Social Problems...not only easy but interesting! I took it online. You have to take part in discussions with your class (over the net) and tell your views on different situations. (drugs, homosexuality, religion) it's very easy. 3 tests and 1 essay...Don't miss out on this easy class. I wasn't sur about the class ID so ignore...
Dr.Matthews taught my summer 1 Internet course. She was very specific on what to study for the exams, making it easier for exams. Instead of reading entire chapters, we only went over certain material; which is helpful in summer classes. Subject matter was interesting and had open debates on things like drug abuse, education system and sexual discrimination. I would reccomend this class to everyone.
Took this class online. She made sure you were up to date with grades and assignments. Great teacher would deff recc. to anyone!
You can't really understand what she is saying but the class is pretty easy. A few tests & a few papers. In class participation grades. Ended up with an A.
Dr. Mathews is an excellent professor. She is very precise and clear to the point. In the beginning my grades were not so good, but after talking with her, she explained what I needed to work on and my grades went up. She is GREAT! I ended the course with a B and I'm not going into anything with Sociology or human recourses.
this is one of the best professors i have had. i drove a good distance to take her. and a she was well worth the drive.everything she tells you and gives you to study is on every test.all you have to do is read and do the study questions and you will pass,i like that she makes you think outside the box.
I took Social Problems online with her and found it to be both interesting and fairly easy. I would recommend this class to everyone, especially those thinking of trying an online class for the first time. She is nice and even sends out weekly emails to keep everyone on track! My only complaint is that her grading chart can be a little confusing.
Took Dr. Mathews for Intro To Sociology online and Social Problems online, she is one of the easiest professors that I have dealt with. She is very clear (with her online classes) as to what is expected. Gives weekly updates to work needed to be done. A very easy A.
She was great. Summer class so quick, but worked well. Wish she tested more often on less chapters, but she gives you answers through study guides on each chp and just go to her lectures and she is fine. has think accent, but you get used to it by the 3rd day. helps you out if you miss something as long as you put in effort. I recommend =)
Very good teacher, easy & fun. She made me enjoy the class while learning. I definitly recommend her!!
really good teacher, i never missed a class. i enjoyed our discussion(which were every class). she really prepares well for her classes and really cares if you do good. really recommend her!
Strong accent ( Jamaican ), so if you're not good with accents, try another teacher. Halfway through the semester and i still don't understand much of what she's saying. POWERPOINTS are your key to success. She also gives study guides for every chapter/Exam. Study those and you'll be fine. Term paper was a bit.....retarded. Overall, cool class.
She is a serious teacher, with a strong accent from Haiti. She knows about what she's teaching, but it was a little hard to understand bc of her accent. Powerpoints were extremely helpful! she does alot of assignments in class (mostly group) and online quizes at home. I personally liked her but you must be commited to going to class.
Eh. I found the classes very boring. It was my least favorite class but it was easy. I never really used the powerpoints. In my opinion, all you have to do is learn the definitions and really know their concepts and you'll do just fine on the exams.
Second time I've had her. She's... Boring. She asks redundant questions, and expects you to answer the way she thinks you should. If you don't she just disregards your answer. Kind of annoying. But it was an easy class. She's kind of a pushover with the freshmen too.. She should work on that.. Use the books website for the tests, dont bother buying
This is the second online class I've had with Dr. Mathews. She's nice and very helpful. She is organized and always kept us up to date on what we needed to be doing. The class was pretty interesting. It wasn't too hard, but it did require a fair amount of work (quiz and discussion post each week). There was also a term paper. She's a good teacher!
I took her online class over summer 1. It was a LOT of reading and sometimes I found that her powerpoints were not as clear as the information in the book. I agree with the other posting learn the definitions for the tests and have a general concept of the readings and you will receive a good grade. Discussions online were interesting.
I took this class ONLINE, it is alot of work especially if you're taking other classes with it. It seemed alot of the powerpoints weren't exactly clear and alot of "busy work". I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have to take it. You NEED the textbook.
Other comment about it being boring is wrong. Great topics and disscusions in the class. I would perfer to take the class in person then online. She does has a accent but a great teacher.*Hint Qs on the test or from the book*
I took this class online. Usually in an online class the teacher is very interactive but I rarely heard from this one....The class is fairly easy but it requires ALOT of textbook reading..Also you are required to take all tests at the testing center which really defeats the purpose of taking the class online rather that on campus.
Pretty simple class. If u read the textbook and come to every class u should pass no problem. There is a lot of material to learn and reading the chapters is key to passing the tests & in class quizzes. Very helpful with students and does her best to make sure the class understands each topic. Plenty opportunities for EC so take advantage of it!
Power points & notes (handout questions) are crucial in this class. everything is online so you don't really have to go to class but she does throw out occasional class activities. She has a harsh accent but isn't that difficult to understand. Stays wit her syllabus constantly. The notes help with the online quizzes which help with chapter test.
She teaches completely through power points, and they're all available online so you can review if necessary. It's a lot of reading and textbook is mandatory, but if you do the assigned reading and read chapter review you're sure to do fine on the tests. The only thing I had a hard time on was the research paper, but there was tons of extra credit.
Overall I liked Dr. Mathews. She responded quick to my emails, she gets the students to interact in class and she gives you chances to improve your grade. Tests weren't hard you just needed to read the required reading. She is a very nice woman and I would take her again.
Amazing teacher, very understanding and kind. She cares about her students and their grades. She wants everyone to be successful, I recommend her for Sociology and Social Problems!
I have taken this professor for into to sociology and now social problems. She is wonderful. The class is easy if you do the work and follow the notes. She gives one paper that is no more than 4 pages long. She responds in a timely fashion and gives great feedback. I would definitely recommend her.
She is an amazing teacher!!! VERY helpful and quick and considerate with her responses! Gives extra credit, takes off two lowest quizzes as well as one lowest test score. I would definitely take her class again she was incredibly helpful!!
Ms. Mathews was really nice and knows her stuff! She does call on students often so READ the text before every class. Her tests are all put into scenarios which was difficult for me, so make sure you understand . She gives lots of extra credit but its crazy how much work you have to do to receive 1 pt for extra credit...
Amazing teacher- treats you like another human being not a number.
If you're looking for an easy class for an elective credit, I would go with someone else. She won't make it easy for you, especially if you're not really into the subject, the class will just be miserable. Class activities everyday, reading every chapter in the text, projects (at least 2).. She wasn't a bad teacher, I just wasn't very into SYG2000.
One of the best teachers I have had. She speaks in a way that makes you listen and you can never get bored. She gives out a lot of assignments but if you do well it will help you at the end of the course. She also gives out extra credit that helps you on your tests and also helps you get extra points at the end of the semester.
She is a very good teacher and is clear about what she expects out of you in her syllabus. She is not an "Easy A+" teacher however, which is admirable in its own right. You are going to be studying and working hard if you expect a decent grade. Do not take her if you are lazy or skip class, you will fail.
Incredibly smart woman! She makes you work hard for your grade, but you can honestly walk out of that class saying you learned something meaningful. There are plenty of notes, reading (mandatory), and discussions in this course, but nothing that isn't interesting. You can stay wide awake in this class and enjoy every minute of it!
GREAT INSTRUCTOR!! Dr. Matthews is very insightful, prepared, organized, and fair. She is clear with her expectations, and gives ample opportunity for a good grade if you are willing to put in the time and the work. A lot of Extra Credit opportunities. She is very nice and always available for questions or concerns.
This was a pretty good class. I took Sociology online. The only problem was the professor did not always answer me quickly and the online tests would be wrong. Some answers that were actually right would be marked wrong.
I took Social Problems online with Dr. Mathews. The class consisted of 4 exams 2 at home 2 at the testing center, 4 discussion boards, and 1 term paper. There are lots of opportunity for extra credit. Get the book because she does require A LOT of reading.
I took Dr. Matthews class online with great success. She was a very responsive and detailed instructor. All but 2 assignments are taken at home and she gives a lot of extra credit. Loved her course and would recommend it strongly!
I took Dr. Matthews SYG1020 class online with great success. She was a very responsive and detailed instructor. All but 2 assignments are taken at home and she gives a lot of extra credit. There is one essay that counts for 20% of your grade, take your time with it. Loved her course and would recommend it strongly!
Great teacher! Took the class online. Get ready to read.
Get ready to do a lot of work, as if you probably arent already taking a bunch of classes that give you work too. i would not takw her again because of the fact she had a pretty bad accent and gives so much work
shes a great professor who knows her subject well. dont skip class, there is an in class assignment almost every class that you cannot make up.
A quiz online is required for every module. The quizzes are basically a study guide for the tests. There are 3 tests. Three writing assignments, each one has about 4 questions. 10 lines, (not sentences) are required for each question. Offers extra credit. Calls on you during class to see if you were paying attention. Class activities required.
Cares about students gives out extra credit i love that she gives out activities after her lectures helps me understand the material.
Always provides feedback and if a student isnt doing well shell ask them privately what she can do to help and also tells them what they can do to help their grade. She gives many opportunities for extra credit assignments. She typically would lecture at the beginning of class and afterwards have a partnered assignment.
I took Dr. Matthews during summer A and if you're looking for an easy class, pick her. There was one essay but as long as you put in work you'll get an A. She makes three modules due every 2 weeks along with one test. Everything is multiple choice and you don't have to write much for discussion boards.
I took SYG2000 online with Professor Moleon-Mathews and it went good. There is a lot of online work, quizzes, and some discussion boards. As long as you keep up with the assignments, its not that bad.
I was not happy with this professor. She didn't grade things till the end of the semester, which made it hard for students to know what they have in the course. She provided a "Graded sheet" which I'm sorry but isn't that a professors job? There was A LOT of tedious work. Felt like I was teaching myself and not learning much.
Professor Mathews is a nice lady, she really does want you to pass. She has a thick accent; If youre dedicated to the hours on end she wants you to read the chapters & study for the tests then take her class. Her grading scale is something Ive never seen before & its quite annoying & confusing. Also, do the extra credit it kinda helps.
Professor Moleon-Mathews is an awesome teacher and made learning easy during an online summer class. I took her for SYG2000, which was an easy A if you do the work. Her chapter study questions will prepare you for almost everything on the tests. Her lecture videos are good too. Discussion boards and papers were very easy!
Never heard from her more of a self taught class.
Very nice teacher and she cares about her students
This Professor Is the absolute worse honestly after completing all of my concept quizzes assignments and practice test averaging a B grade(all of these counts towards grade). I still managed to get an F in the class. Theres only three test i passed two of them even completing discussion boards nothing seemed to please this instructor. Accent heavy
This professor was wonderful. Her expectations are clear. She also offers extra credit. Her lectures were really good and kept me interested.
If you take in-person you better be good at understanding someone with a heavy accent. She has lecture videos for online and I can't watch them because they are so hard to understand. Thankfully I just read the book when doing HW. HW is through MindTap and its confusing and lots of concepts. Quiz/test answers found in online book. No big essay.
HW is easy and material is easy to learn. I do not recommend taking this professor in person. There are three major discussion boards and writing assignments. Midterm is proctored but final exam is not. Every module consist of homework, quiz, and extra credit video. She as you to submit work for corrections before the due date. Take advantage!
Her tests are really easy and even though she provides lectures, they're not necessary to pass the course with an A. She responds in a expeditious manner and she grades just as quickly. She is really understanding and tries to work with you as much as possible. Her class is light and the most amount of work you'll do is for the study guides.
I had this professor twice and each time was great. There was extra credit and very clear grading rubrics. The only minor compliant I have is that feedback was a bit slow however, it was better than all of my other professors I have had thus far. Would definitely recommend!
One of my easiest classes taken as a DE Student. She gives lots of extra credit so there is no reason to fail her class. The only annoying thing about her class was the discussion questions and needing to reply to other students. Though, her workload is very light and reasonable deadlines. She offers many resources to match your learning style.
Professor Moleon-Mathews is a great instructor. The class has a fair workload, with online assignments and tests. Using Unstuck study alongside the textbook really helped me stay on top of the material. Definitely recommend taking this class.
This was our first semester using Canvas, and as POS1041 was an online course for me, I was very nervous about the layout of the course. However, Prof. Matthews made the Canvas page SO organized. The quizzes and discussion boards are pretty easy as is, and are even easier if you refer to the online textbook. The tests are also pretty easy.
