Great professor! She is very funny, and her lectures are always interesting. She cares a lot about her students. A lot of extra credit opportunities, and the test are very easy. She gives a study guide before the test and even goes over the study guide with you. You don't even have to use the book.
SHE IS A VERY KIND PERSON AND VERY HELPFOOL PROFESSOR. THANK YOU FOR EVRY THING.
5.0 is totally predictable with this professor! I felt as though I was at a comedy act for how funny she is and how organized she is. Offers a lot of extra credit, only tests on lecture notes which was easy, down to earth, understanding with personal schedules. Never had a class where other students laughed at teachers jokes! It was outstanding!
GREAT AND FUNNY TEACHER.EASY AND FUN VERY DOWN TO EARTH WOMAN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. SHE DOES'NT GIVE HARD ASSIGNMENTS.
Ms Levy is the greatest professor ever I have to say. It was my first semester with her and she made me feel sooo comfortable and she was extremely helpful and funny! I highly recommend taking this class with her shes amazing.
I LOVE HER!! She's so funny which keeps everyone interested and awake! Her class is easy! She makes sure everyone understands, goes over everything for the test. There's no way you can fail this class unless you dont show up!
You do not need to buy the book. Her lecture is clear enough. Her tests are exactly how her lecture notes are. You just need to buy a code to get printouts. She is very helpful and nice. I enjoyed her class and actually wanted to go to class.
Such a great professor! I've taken her for Soc 1 and 11! She's the reason why I'm majoring in sociology in the first place! I love teaching method, always makes people laugh! Take her class! You won't regret it!
AMAZING TEACHER! TAKE HER! TAKE HER! Class is easy and she makes every class interesting and FUNNY! Thanks to her I chose my major! Got an A! Gives you extra credit and counts attendance.
AMAZING professor. She dropped me the first time I took this class because I failed to attend most classes due to financial reasons blah blah. But didn't bother me only becuase she genuinely cares that you don't miss a thing during her lectures and she makes Clear sure you understand the material! EASY * FUNNY * HELPFUL * the whole shebang. (=
She made the course very interesting and at times interactive. It was never boring, she was very funny. She explained things well.Get her!!!
She's a great teacher. Lectures are not boring, keeps you entertained and all you need are your handouts and fill in the blanks. Tests are based off lecture notes, didnt open the book at all. but needed to purchase for online code which is where you print the handouts from shes extremely nice & wants you to succeed.2 essays 3 quizzes & extra credit
Great teacher, cares about students success. Class isn't hard because she helps you all the way, emails reminders and what's relevant lectures, she also has great jokes, keeps me alert and is quite attractive
Professor Levy was a very helpful professor, she is funny, and energetic, and she is a fair grader.She sends emails constantly to remind you of work to turn in. She gives you extra credit opportunities, but you don't need them. Overall she is very easy, recommended to anyone who wants to pass with an A:)
This was an interesting class it gave me great insight about family, love, and relationships. Great Easy Fun Class Great Professor I will Be Taking Her other Sociology Class next semester :)
She is absolutely AMAZING! Her lectures are very informative, and she keeps you interested!! It is hard not to pass this class. She gives lecture/exam handouts that you just fill in and study. Offers extra credit. She is very funny there is never a dull moment. highly recommend!! It's no wonder her classes are always FULL
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! By far the best professor I have ever taken. This class was so interesting that I decided to change my major!! I would recommend this class to EVERYONE :) Easy A if you pay attention and do All HOMEWORK Assignments.
She is an amazing professor. She has a great sense of humor. She explains and teaches everything with ease. She uses examples you can relate to. She gives helpful review sheets for tests and requires little reading. As long as you attend class and take the lecture notes she gives you then you will surely get an A. I'm even considering changing my major to Sociology. I definitely recommend her course!
Amazing teacher, very helpful, caring and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Tests and assignments are really easy as long as you read the chapters.
Online Winter 2014. Earned an A...She is clear on what to expect. Includes lots of reading & assignments. Her grading is what will drag your grade down. Tests were easy-hard, and a lot were tricky. Online class is very different from in-class.
Reflecting off past reviews, her online class is NOT an easy A. Although she does offer 20pt EC, her grading grading is sometimes unclear and grades very hard. For chapter exams, they are very difficult because she throws in the smallest word to throw you off on purpose like she does not want the class to pass. If u want high GPA dont take her.
Soc 1 with her is a VERY HARD class. Tests are strict order (you can't go back and forth). Doesn't allow redos on assignments. Isn't very clear. Wouldn't recommend.
By far best professor I've had!!! Extremely funny, knowledgable, caring and relatable. If you're skeptical about socio in general and looking for an easy A take her class! As long as you show up, there's no way you can fail. Easy tests (as long as you study your notes), she narrows down the textbook reading and provides handouts. Take her!:)
Fantastic teacher! 3 quizzes and 2 papers! Plenty of extra credits! She explains everything with real life examples! Just pay attention to class and read handouts ! Great ,great teacher. Highly recommend ! :)
Amazing teacher, genuinely cares for her students. provides note outlines and narrows down the chapters to specific pages you will need. Literally need to show up take notes, study and read (which isn't much) and pass. gives 3 options for extra credit. Max is 20pts. Funny and caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! You wont regret it!
Took her online class. Test once a week along with an essay assignment. Tests are easy as long as you read the book but she is tricky the way she words her questions so be careful. She is also extremely anal on her essay assignments. Shes grades tough.
Read, Read, Read the chapters. The tests are from the chapters; however, read the question carefull. Some of the questions will have a different word from the chapter. Read each question word per word. Professor Levy, emails back within 24 hours.
For an online class, it wasn't that bad. Just get the book, read the chapters and take the exams. Open book, you just gotta make sure you read the chapters. Essay was really easy too. Highly recommend this teacher, she knows her stuff!
This class was based on how well you did on the quizzes. The chapters are really lengthy and boring. Not many written assignments were given at all, but a ton of "time consuming" extra credit was given, like attending certain events on weekends. I wish I could retake this class with a different professor.
Very organized, she's an amazing professor and knows her stuff. Follow her instructions, thoroughly read the chapters, and do the quiz for each chapter. She gives plenty of chances for extra credit to improve grades. If you need help, she is willing to give advice to get you through the semester.
Professor Levy is a very nice and considerate teacher. She really makes an effort to help if you have questions. I recommend taking the class online if you can and get the e textbook. The tests are straight from the readings. you can use ctrl+F to get most of the answers. It was easy to ace the class. Just make sure you do all the work.
Took her course during Summer session. Very organized, clear in what she expects in the writing assignments. 11 chapter exams which are 20 questions of multiple choice or TF in 20 mins. If you read the chapter, you should be fine and + their open book. Very approachable and emails back fast. Great class to take with her during the summer.
Easy grader on essays, online class requires reading, organized, straightforward, and she wants you to succeed. Recommend her online or in person. Great professor!
Terrific teacher. Instructions are clear and very easy to follow. You have to study, the material are made easy for you, so you will be able to get an A if you make the effort.
I find it quite ironic that one of Professor Levy's pet peeves is spelling errors and not one person so far has either noticed or mentions that her name is misspelled on this website.. She spells her name Myriam, with a y not an i. She marked my paper down points because the word "I" was inadvertently not capitalized.
Professor Levy's instructions are clear and straightforward. Took her online class during the Winter session, very fast paced but she is very organized. You MUST read and take notes! Very critical to passing the class.
Amazing professor, makes it fun to come to class. Very clear and descriptive. Cares about her students and really wants her students to succeed. Study for the exams and you'll do fine. Alot of extra credit opportunity. Shes very funny. Print notes before class so you can fill in the missing notes.
Marriage & Family online-- what a great and informative class! Lots of reading, exams, & written assigns, however "do-able", it's college you have to do the work to get the good grade. Regardless of neg reviews I found her to be fair, straight forward on expectations, & would take her again. Textbook is a must. Fr/ an "A" student. Happiness :-)
I had more than a 100% in the class (extra credit), then missed a few days due to personal reasons that I could not get out off (babysitting, taking care of my stomach flu, etc.) and the participation grade she entered dropped me 20%. I was so shocked and sad. Other e.c. options she gave were impossible to attend b.c. they were far at museums.
She is a great Professor and this is a fun class!
Such an amazing class and professor. I took her class in the spring and I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend taking her class. She is hilarious and is always in a great mood. I was actually a bit sad when the semester ended.
Every week there's a test based on the reading and these questions are very tricky. READ EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE CHAPTER, she'll fool you. Take notes on the book because there's only 20 minutes to flip back and forth to find these ridiculous answers. Very unhappy with the class. Two papers in the class, follow the directions and you'll be fine.
Funny professor and she really does care about her students. She offers a good amount of extra credit as well. I like how she replies fast once it comes to emails and give study guides.
Very knowledgeable and most importantly makes the lectures plenty enjoyable. Jokes from time to time and covers all the material very well and thoroughly. Tough grader but fair. Answers all your questions and emails fairly quickly. She also accommodates with students needs.
Such an amazing professor! Gives lecture outlines and study guides for exams. Really knows what she's talking about! So funny and just makes it a fun class. I would absolutely recommend taking a class with her!
Professor Levy is definitely one of the best professors I've taken. The class does involve a lot of reading from the text book and her quizzes are not ones that you can just find online so make sure you read every chapter . The class is fairly easy and I can say I learned many things from it and her feedback is awesome you can tell she truly cares
Prof. Levy is funny and nice, most of all she cares that all her students passes the class and keep continuing your path of education. She gives extra credit even on the finals, homework is easy just put a lot of dedication and effort, and finally show up to class because at the end of the semester she will give u point for attendance.
Really great teacher! Shes funny, nice, and really cares about her students. She is very informative in the classroom as well as events that happen on campus. If you ever need help whether it be in the class or general questions, she is always happy to assist!
She is passionate about her subject, She will help you understand.
Professor Levy is the coolest teacher. She's willing to help one on one and answers back to emails FAST. Outlines notes for her class and does attest every 4/5 chapters with all the study guides and help you might need available. She's a funny teacher , jokes around a lot and makes the lecture quite interesting. I would definitely recommend.
uses a lot of humor and gives a lot of chances to do extra credit if you happen to fall behind.
Took her class online for the 5 weeks summer session. Easy class if you keep up with your readings. Her quizzes are straight from the book. I suggest to start reading as soon as you received your syllabus and pay attention to detail, take notes or highlights. Do assignments early will help a lot especially if you have busy schedule.
This was an online summer session course. Be prepared to do A LOT of reading and pay attention to the exam/quiz questions. Yes, they are from the book however, there are tricky questions too. 20 questions on a 20 min limit. You are only given 1 attempt, & are not allowed to see what you missed. Got my first B since attending for a year-bummed.
Great professor who actually cares about the subject and what she is teaching. Must turn in all homework but she also has lots of extra credit options. She gives all study materials needed for tests.
She is a really good professor. Offers extra credits. She cares for her students willing to help you you just got to ask her for help. She gives you a study guide before the midterm and final
She's very caring and funny. Offers extra credit. Homework was usually do every Thursday and it was a journal .The class did not required a book which was good. She will help you if you ask!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could only miss 3 times because after the 3 absent she lowers you participation points.
She is absolutely wonderful, offers extra credit. Make sure to read take notes and ask questions if you need any clarifications. As with any of the classes you take do the work and study and you will be fine. Don't be a slacker and look for any easy route.
She is Great , offers extra credit. Make sure to read take notes and ask questions if you need any clarifications. As with any of the classes you take do the work and study and you will be fine. Don't be a slacker and look for any easy route.
Took the class for the winter semester. She has at least 4 quizzes every week. The quizzes have 20 questions and only 20 minutes. Will ask very specific questions from the reading such as those including data numbers. Do not take her class!
Super funny! very helpful with papers and an easy grader! just show to class and put in some effort and you will pass. for the test she gives you a packet for what will be on the test as well, so just look it over and you will pass!
I took her Sociology 28 class in fall 2018 and she is the best professor ever. She gives good feedback and responds to emails quickly. She is also very funny and easy going. I would recommend her to everyone who wants to take any sociology class. She does outlines, study guides and 1-2 essays. Study the study guide and you will pass exams.
I took Professor Levy for Soc 4 and 11 and I have to say she was one of the most caring professors I ever had at Mission. Her lectures are straight forward, so is the homework, and the papers. She is always there to help her students succeed so don't be intimidated to ask her questions or for help. She's amazing!
took Winter session (online) so it was pretty condensed as expected. free textbook which is great, she's a bit scatter brained some of her emails don't make sense. I asked a lot of questions & could never get a full answer, quizzes are average in difficulty read the chapters, does not give enough time for quiz won't provide feedback from quizzes.
Took her online winter session. We read 16 chapters in 5 weeks, had around 20 quizzes and one paper. She gave a lot of feedback and graded stuff fairly quickly. By far one of the most interesting classes that I have taken. You have 20-25 minutes to complete 20 question quizzes. Bummed she unpublished the canvas page after class ended.
I took this class online and it's very stressful because of timed quizzes with a few questions that dont make sense. she doesnt share with you what answers you got wrong. What helped me get through this class was I enjoyed the subject. Perhaps it's better to take in person not online?
She was amazing.
I loved this class. She provides study guides for every test/lecture and are easy to understand. Online quizzes can be stressful as some questions r weird and you can't switch back to a question you just answered or look @ questions you got wrong. Make sure you put effort in writing every assignment. TAKE THIS CLASS IN-PERSON.
Easily the best professor I have ever had! She is so caring and funny. Her lectures are amazing! She truly cares about every topic she teaches. Her feedback is always helpful with homework assignments. She offers extra credit that is due at the end of the semester. She is amazing at replying to emails so don't be afraid to ask questions!
Pretty easy A as long as you read the chapters but you must understand concepts as well. You cannot go back/forth on answers and you cannot. see wrong/right answers on quizzes once submitted, which are about 20 questions each and 20 min. to complete. 1 pg paper due, and assignments due Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 11:59pm
Took Soc01 Online with her. Textbook is online and free and mandatory. You need to read each chapter to get a good grade. There are around 13-14 quizzes and a research paper. She also gives extra credits. Easy class if you read the material
Great teacher
Professor Levy is amazing, she is funny and very understanding, gives multiple extra credit opportunities, and her lectures are very clear.
Best professor I have taken thus far. Very clear lectures that are easy to understand if you pay attention. Such a beautiful soul that truly does care about her students. The quizzes are not very hard but you do have to read the textbook which she provides for free. She is very funny and nice would definitely recommend!
One of my favorite professors! She is caring, smart, and entertaining. I looked forward to coming to class every week and the workload was very reasonable. The textbook is free and she is clear about her information and expectations. I recommend everyone take this class!
Professor Levy is engaging, knowledgeable, flexible, and truly cares about the success of her students. Family sociology was extremely interesting and relevant. I sincerely looked forward to coming to every class. Her classes are entertaining and gives opportunities for extra credit. She gave plenty of feedback and always responded to emails.
Professor Levy is absolutely amazing and cares about her students! I took her online for a winter semester. You can easily get an A if you read, take good notes and do all of the assignments. There's no getting around reading for this class. However, the material is so current and up-to-date that you truly enjoy the reading material!
I took Prof Levy for Soc 1 and am currently retaking her for Soc 11. She's awesome! She is super organized on Canvas, her lectures are great, and on top of that, she doesn't make you buy an expensive textbook. If you show up to class and do the work there's no way you won't receive an A.
I took Soc 001 online during winter session. This was my first class to kick off my general education. She provides a PDF version of the textbook that you can print or pull up on your computer/ mobile device. You do have to read a lot and take a quiz at the end of the week. She also provides extra credit.
I took Professor Levy for a sociology 28 online course . This professor is a very care teacher because she reachable outside of class. There is a lot of homework for this class , but its doable if you time manage to work on her assignments. there is assignments due every wednesday, friday, and sunday.
Professor Levy is one of the most effective and caring instructors at LAMC. She was straight forward with what she expected of us and gave us all the tools necessary to succeed.
This is from my personal experience, but taking and passing her class boosted my self esteem. I didn't have much confidence and started to feel like I wasn't smart enough college. If you're feeling that or lost, please take her class. She is a great 'entrance' course to take for your college career if you're looking to go back. just trust me
Great teacher do your work easy A!
Great professor! took her for 2 soc classes and taking another this semester. Do your work and you will be fine. If you have trouble just email her she is quick to respond. usually discussion posts weekly and depending on the class, you might have a few essays but nothing too crazy.
She a great professor I wish I would of done in person
One of the bests professors I've ever had I'll never forget her. She does NOT fail to entertain, engage, and teach the class. She is so funny, very knowledgeable and wise. She is not only supportive for the course content but personal struggles as well. Truly an amazing individual.
Professor Levy was great. I took an accelerated online class with her and she was great at explaining all of the chapters. She made me feel like I was capable of passing and gave plenty of opportunities for extra credit. You definitely need to pay attention and study as the tests are timed but I would 100% take another class with her.
Professor Levy does a lot to help students pass and reaches out to you. The online class has clear instructions, tasks, and deadlines. HW is not heavy, most are quizzes on assigned reading and videos (easy). She is a really nice grader and grades writing for thoughts and effort. There is lots of extra credit just in case. Recommend her anytime.
Prof Levy cares! The assignments are more than the readings themselves, they are real-life examples, which make the material easier to understand. She is reachable, and always gives the most thorough feedback. She also offers extra credit, which are easy and interesting to complete. I felt welcomed and heard in this class! Wonderful Prof!
Shes talks too fast, too much, and has to get the first and last word in, she interrupts a lot , which is rude, and if you disagree with her, then her temper comes out. Try another professor that is respectable.
Professor Levy had assignements due 3 days out of the week which were mostly reading and then taking a quiz. She did provide a study guide which really helped on quizzes and extra credit assignements. The class was really fast paced because it was 5 weeks long but she made it very enjoyable and easy to navigate! I recommend taking her class!
I took this professor previously and never had issues with how she graded assignments. However, she has become very picky and takes points off for small things on papers, discussions, etc. Gives you 5 min to answer 10 questions. BFFR
Insanely sweet professor, communicate with her if you have any concerns or forgot to turn in an assignment on accident. Expect a lot of reading. The textbook is required to pass tests. She also gives extra credit, which are super easy mini quizzes. Overall, very simple and straightforward class. Would take it again!
Professor Levy, she can be very rude or sarcastic sometimes. She expects you to know everything if not she lets you know. She reads yours post and replies to it. It has to be written in a certain way I would not recommend her , but if she is the only option and you need it to graduate then take her. Good Luck
My rating has been removed twice already but I highly recommend avoiding this Professor.
Her assignments are fairly easy and doable if you just read the textbook. However, she is extremely nitpicky about her discussion posts and essays. Will take many points off. Not a hard class, but I would avoid her if I could.
She was an okay professor. Gave 3-4 assignments a week that required a lot of reading also tough grader most assignments were asked for your opinion and if she did not like it you would not receive a passing grade.
Professor Levy was a tough grader. Most of her assignments were based on opinion and if she did not like it she would give you a bad grade. Since when do we receive a bad grade for giving our opinion? 3-5 assignments due every week. Lecture, reading, and taking a quiz also her quizzes were timed she gave 30 to complete a 20 QUESTION quiz.Avoid her.
Professor Levy is a fantastic instructor and a very caring person. As she touched on some delicate topics, she made her platform a safe place to speak whether you agree or disagree. She does have your quizzes on a timer, so be prepared. I would definitely take another one of her classes. She is amazing!!
I did not wanted to post anything about Pr. Levy, but after reading others classmate's. It's important for further students to know. That she is something rude when she replies to your post, she reads all the students post and has to be aliened with her philosophy and her perspective of her life or in what she believe and her own point of view.
A sociology professor- role includes socializing with theirs students , support their point of view in not their motivating, inspiring and encouraging them, transmitting values, awakening respect for facts and sense of critical appreciation in the subject learned. After all we all having different background, a little culture humility is needed !
Professor Levy's SOC001 class was engaging and manageable. With helpful feedback and extra credit opportunities, she makes the material accessible. The timed tests require focus, but using resources like unstuck study can aid study prep.
Easy class. As someone else had said, around 3-4 quizzes (timed, 20 questions) per week. None are that difficult if you read the corresponding chapter. That said, her feedback feels very condescending. It feels like you're forced to decode cryptic messages to figure out what is wanted. Very nitpicky for no reason. Definitely wouldn't take again.
The class is entirely reliant on textbook material with a few videos sprinkled in here and there. A lot of quizzes. Had assignments due 3/4 days a week, two being the weekend. Is almost completely self taught and only 2 actual writing assignments.
Have to rely solely on reading to learn. Too many quizzes to take too often. Unfair grading.
Lots of reading, and the entire grade is pretty much based solely on quizzes, apart from a handful of activities. You cannot see what you got wrong on quizzes, therefore making the class very difficult in learning from mistakes. Some extra credit does help; however, be ready to also do tests under a verified lock browser.
Her class was overall easy however, she was very picky with how you email her, and she accused me of AI and when I proved her wrong she called my essay too professional and ended up giving me a B in the class. Wouldn't take the class again.
took "marriage and the family" online for ge credit. lectures and timed quizzes were fairly easy but the written portions would ask really personal questions. she would dock your points if you didn't write enough because if you didn't feel comfortable answering or you ran out of time on the quiz. it was mostly multiple choice so still passable.
