Dr. Normil is a good professor. She is funny and is not really uptight, but is when she needs to. I like her so far hopefully I will for the rest of the semester!
Dr. Normil is a nice person, but she does not play around and you will know this because she will keep reminding you.
Dr. Normil is a wonderful professor who lectures with passion. When she lectures you can tell she wants us to not only hear what shes saying, but to understand what she's teaching.
She is a great professor.
She is very straightforward, there are no surprises. If you read the chapter and complete the assignments you will do well.
very straightforward.
She is a good professor, if you pay attention in class and read the chapters you will do fine.
I enjoy this class but sometimes I feel that the lectures are boring and drawn out too long. I also do not feel that the information is presented in a exciting way like my previous sociology classes.
Nice job.
Dr. Normil is a great professor and very funny but is very serious when the situation calls for it.

She is nice and understanding and makes sure you understand the material.
very interactive professor. passionate about what she "teaches" one of the best professors at Virginia State University
Great professor! The only thing is if your not a great test taker you're going to have a rough time.
Dr. Normil is an outstanding professor that knows how to teach to any crowd. She uses real life experiences and installs them in her teaching style. She is very nice, and easy to talk to. She is easy going, but demands respect which every teacher should do. She is a good example of a good college professor.
Fairly easy if you pay attention and take notes you will do fine
I like the class alot. i actually have a better understanding of why things around me occur.
I was recommended to take this class by one of her fellow students. They informed me that her class was easy and that she was a very good teacher. After entering the class i found out they were right. You do have to do work but she makes things simply for you so if you fail the class its all on you. She really looks out for the students great class
I have enjoyed the class thus far. Its apart of my major so i was required to take but i have learned many different things.
Freaking awesome (sk8r voice)
Amazing Teaching Methods && The Fact That She is So Into Socilogy Draws Me In Even More
she is something special

I have enjoyed working with Dr. Normil this semester. She exspects nothing but the best from us. She is easy to understand and really a sweetheart!
Very interesting class that gave very helpful information. this class made me think about various issues that goes on in our society. This class was also helpful because i was able to relate it to my Minorities in Criminal Justice and Sociological Theory clas.
She was fantastic!!!!
Dr.Normil is very intelligent professor, she taught me like a lot of useful information.
Dr. Normil wasn't the best teacher I have had. As a matter of fact, I at times didn't want to attend class because of her ambiguous way of explaining our assignments. Overall, she had the best interest for her students in the long run.
Dr. Normil is a good professor and she is very lenient.
Great class
DR. NORMIL IS A GREAT TEACHER. SHE CAN BE CONFUSING AT TIMES BUT WHEN ASKED TO EXPLAIN THE INFORMATION CLEARLY SHE HAS NO PROBLEM DOING SUCH.
She was a great instructor and ethusiast.
Dr. Normil is a very good professor and she made the classroom more interesting.
DR. NORMIL MAKES THIS CLASS INTERESTING AND MORE APPEALING. THIS IS THE ONLY CLASS I LOOK FORWARD TO WAKING UP AND ATTENDING.
Dr. Normil is a quintessential professor who, in addition to being very knowledgeable and intelligent, consistently demonstrates a passion for the success of her students. Colleges and Universities need more professors like Dr. Normil!
My Professor gave me a challenge this semester. I have always been a person to want to learn something and my grade never just be handed to me. I appreciate having her as a teacher.
Couldnt ask for a better teacher to help me understand sociology!
Overall I believe that she a a great and understanding professor. It was an interesting course to take. I would recommand it to others.
I love Dr. Normil's class. She is a great professor and she makes her class very interesting.
Dr. Normil is a really good professor. I don't have any problems with her like some of my classmates might. She's entertaining and really knows what she's talking about when it relates to Sociology.
Great class to take. Very interesting!
teacher was late numerous amount of times and expected us students to wait 30 minutes for her to get there, when we're only supposed to wait 15 minutes.
This class was interesting. The exams were a little difficult.
i like this class it is very challeging though. my teacher tries her best to break it down though.
class pretty easy as long as you have book.....that being said her book is nvr in the store
Ms. Normil is a very hard working teacher. She is caring and warm- hearted. She makes the class very interesting.
The class was always intresting and she wanted you to learn and not just memorize.
I enjoy the class but the way the assignments are presented was not in a standard form. She made them hard to understand. Overall its a okay class.
This class was challenging for me but nonetheless interesting and kept me working hard.
Dr. Normil is an awesome instructor and a great addition to Virginia State University as she seeks to help students think critically and analytically about the ills of modern society and be understanding of such social ideology
This is a very interesting class. As long as you do your work and study you'll pass.
Dr. Normil is an extremely helpful professor. She expects an 100% effort from students in everything that happens in her class. Participation is important! Overall she is a tremendous professor, and I would recommend her to any college student as a professor.
Good professor, her classes are easy if you actually study and read the chapters.
Dr. Normil is a powerful professor. The way she delivers information is attention grabbing and understandable. Class discussions are never dull. Dr. Normil knows how to keep the class engaged. Awesome professor overall
Dr. Normil was an excellent instructor. She has a very positive attitude concerning her work subject. Dr. Normil shared a lot of experiences of life with our class. I take my hat off to her, for coming from another country to America and successfully suceeding. The odds may have been once against her, but now she has accomplished her goal.
Professor is a great teacher but very unorganize.
Very interesting and helpful professor. Really enjoyed the class and learned a lot.
Wonderful teacher uses real life experiences to help explain things in class!
Made the classroom setting interesting and entertaining.
Very good professor uses life experiences to teach
Dr. Normil made the classroom interesting and entertaining.
Great teacher.
Excellent> i would recommend this class to everyone!
I enjoy when she speaks about things she is passionate about. and relates class to things going on today.
She's ok but when we are taking notes she changes the slides real fast. And she seems to try to hard to get students to like her.
Dr. Normil hates when students are copying down the powerpoint slides when she lectures. She tells us that she wants us to learn and not memorize and to pay attention to what she is saying instead. She is truly an excellent professor and she goes out of her way to help her students! She is great! take her!!!!!! :)
DR. NORMIL WAS AWESOME!!!
She explains this course very well.
Dr.Normil is a professor that cares about her students.
One thing I will say is she did not make the class easy, but she is a good teacher.
Dr.Normil is a professor that cares about her students very much.
She uses real life examples to explain the material we're covering.
very pleasing person to be around and takes teaching very serious.
Great teacher to be around and very helpful
Geat teacher had you twice this semester and I think she was great both times and i love her accient and she keeps it real
Very interesting class, i learned a lot from my professor and also my classmates. I would recommend this to other students
Dr. Normil is very helpful even when she shouldn't be. Her was even sort of enjoyable at times.
This class was very interesting and i enjoyed every conversation and topic that was discussed.
I enjoyed every conversation and topic we discussed in this class. Dr. Normil has potential to be a great professor and is, however a little more organization would be helpful for the benefits of the students.
really enjoyed the course
uses everyday life experiences to teach class
She was very helpful and made the subject both informative and interesting. I really enjoyed the course.
I loved when she related the class to everyday life. and not sugarcoated.
The class is interesting but it appears to be for the more advance student I selected this class as an elective but its a lot of work. I will say that I have gain knowledge regarding the many minorites in the US.
The class was very interesting initially, and throughout as well. Orderliness of the class got out of hand and assignments were not completely understood as we matriculated through. Wonderful Professor, but I would suggest making sure the class stays on schedule to follow through with assignment details.
She is a very understanding person. The way she goes about her lesson plan is great and flexible for students.
This teacher is terrible! She does not help her students when they need it. She does not return emails or phone calls and she looses tests easily. When she lost a couple students test, they recieved a 0 for the grade and failed the class. more than 50% failed.
I had the privilege of taking American Law Enforcement taught by Dr. Normil. By far, she is one of the best professors at VSU hands down. She is a very practical very compassionate about what she teaches. YOU GET THE GRADE YOU EARNED. Period point blank lol.
She is a great teacher, she is so passionate about her learning and I have learned so much from this wonderful woman and I highly recommend that every criminal justice student take her! Trust me it is worth the time, money, and effort
She is honestly the most memorable professor I've had at VSU. I graduated 2 years ago from vsu! She is the best!
Professor Normil came into my social problems class mid-semester. We did not have a single lecture all semester. She did an intro about herself and that was it. She assigned several assignments based off of a 3 minute YouTube video. If you need actual help, I wouldn't suggest this professor. She doesn't answer emails either.
