I loved Dr. Doetzel! She's quirky, but a really good teacher! Her group project was one of the best group projects I've ever had to do! I really recommend her. She's a great prof.

Very interseting prof. Easy to do very well with little effort, textbook use is high only because her exam questions are highly based on it. Helpful and approachable. Lots of group work which can be really tiring, but her "celebrations of learning" are mostly take home quizzes, so you can do well even if you are as quiet as a church mouse!

A fairly interesting class most of the time. She brought in one very intersting guest speaker. Attendance isn't mandatory, but there is a fair bit of group work so be careful. If you're looking for an easy elective this is the class for you. Do the quizzes in the back of the textbook and you will do well. Easy marker.

Nancy was a wonderful person. Her class was easy and interesting. The only annoying thing was her constant talking about herself and all of her 7 degrees. I would take Sociology with her again. If your looking for a GPA booster sociology with Nancy is the way to go.

Nancy is a total kook but an easy class all around. She can be a bit hard to pin down for help/questions and slightly hard to understand but class will never be boring and the assingments for the entry level soci are a walk in the park.

Good Prof..

Loved her as a prof!! I don't know why she has so many bad reviews...but I thought she was great. She is really understanding and student focused. She is definitely eccentric, but her quirky attitude made class fun. Only thing is that there is a lot of group work...so if that's not your thing than you may not enjoy the class.

Loved Dr. Doetzel. She is funny and interactive with the class. She is helpful and understanding with student issue. Loved her.

Amazing professor, extremely knowledgeable in all areas. Very approachable, and willing to help. Textbook use is mandatory, be prepared to read.

I found Doetzel to be a great prof! I LOVE her passion for sociology and think that even though she talks too much about her personal experiences it is a good way to learn as well. She never uses he textbook to teach just powerpoint and stories. But the text book is a mandatory read. you will fail learning celebrations without reading it.GREAT PROF

Nancy is one of the most inspiring, entertaining, and loving people I have ever met. She makes the class a family, helps anyone in need, and makes the class a hilarious and loving place. Lots of group work, but if you don't like interacting with people then why are you taking sociology? Lots of textbook reading, but class time is more important.

I took intro with nancy and ended up taking the 1103 as well. i loved nancy, although she is a bit out there the way of learning stuck with me and helped me learn better to my ability.

This class is all about interacting and doing group work. She makes the class into a small family. Its a great class if you enjoy learning things outside the textbook. She gives hints in class! If you attend her class and do all the work its an easy A all the assignments are do able and not hard at all! She made me enjoy learning and thats no easy!

Interesting and fun teacher. Be prepared for a lot of group work and you will get to know your group members very well. The class was enjoyable to attend and I would definitely recommend her to others

Nancy is a genuine and lovely person. Her personality really shows through when you talk to her one on one, and you can fully appreciate why many people absolutely adore her. It can be somewhat difficult to understand the class expectations at times, however she is always more than willing to help clarify anything for you. A true gem she is.

awesome! ive taken al her classes

I have never known a professor of an intro course to be so involved and genuinely interested in the welfare of her students. Truly one of the best professors I have had.

Nancy was a great prof. Honestly made me love going to school first semester. she is a very passionate women and she really got me interested in sociology. Highly recommend. love her (: Class is mandatory and if you pay attention, her midterm and final is easy as pie!

Nancy is an amazing proff. I have taken every class she offers!!! She does lots of group work and is fun and approachable. If your a participator that loves sociology this class is you. Nancy is such a smart & well- rounded person. She provides all tools for success in her classes! Overall amazing proff!!!!!!

Nancy is a professor that really lifts your spirits through her lectures and activities that she gets you to do (specifically in SLGY 2273). She can be a little confusing with the assignments at times, just ask her for clarification and you'll get it, and get a good mark (depending on how much effort you put into it). Overall she's good!

I chose the hot tamale because she is a beautiful person inside and out. She is incredibly gifted and inspires people to do the same. If you get the chance, take her class and she will alter your perspective on the world. 1010!

She is by far my favorite professor! She is really understanding of student's needs, as the final was written in a classroom, quizzes were 1%, and sometimes done as a group, and group presentations were easy 100%. Her lectures are entertaining, and she gives you the notes as well as a clear study guide for the midterm and final.

Nancy was an amazing prof. However, she was very disorganized but really cared about her students. She really wanted all of her students to do well in her class and would do a lot to help and achieve a great grade. Her study guide for the midterm and final was very helpful. I would take another course with her again if I can.

Nancy is by far the most unique prof at MRU so be prepared for an experience you will not find in any other university. Her approach to teaching is very different and she wants to see everyone succeed. Essentially the entire semester is done in groups (including the paper) so if you like group work you'll do awesome and if not then maybe avoid.

Anyone who doesn't like Nancy has forgotten that learning can be fun. She uses group projects and volunteer acts to teach altruism and family issues (aka the whole point of sociology)! Powerpoint lectures get real old, real fast. Her active approach to learning was a blessing and woke me out of a 4 yr stupor. Very generous with extensions! 3

She is not lecture heavy but an easy grader. Have to do a lot of self studying and be prepared to discuss a lot in class. Involves you in group projects, assigns the group herself at the start of the course. You basically do everything with your group even sit together. Easy course, makes it fun. Goes off topic but never boring. approachable&caring

Nancy is honestly such an amazing prof! She might go off topic at times, but she does make the course work easy and is very helpful. She does review lectures a week before the midterms which are sooo helpful, (you'll get an A) Her teaching is different, although it was very enjoyable. You'll enjoy this class, especially with Nancy. :)

She is honestly one of the best profs I had so far. She's super caring towards every one of her students. She's very inspiration and goes beyond teaching from the textbook. She gives out pop quizzes but as long as you do your readings, you should be fine!

I don't know how anyone could say something bad about Nancy! She has got to be one of the nicest people I have met in my entire life. She is a fair marker and although there is group work she provides a decent amount of time to finish it. There are pop quizzes but often lets the class do them in groups and they are easy if you do the reading.

Nancy is AMAZING! I have already taken 3 courses with her and she is the absolute best prof I've ever had at MRU. She is easy going and is understanding through any kind of situation. There is a lot of group work, but you'd be crazy to think that it isn't useful for the course. EASY A!!!!!!

Nancy is such a sweet person, she really cares about the students. She makes sure to bring in speakers so there is interesting content to write about. Yes, the course is mostly based on group work, but it makes the class super easy.

Nancy is the kindest, most caring prof! She teaches you to be a kinder person, and assignments are often centred around the good you bring into the world. Class is always fun and goes by quickly. Nancy clearly wants everyone to succeed. Most of the work is done in groups, attendance is taken, but show up to class and do the work, it's an easy A.

Probably the easiest A i've ever gotten! She was super sweet, and gave opportunities for extra credit. The class was kinda disorganized but I really do recommend Nancy, she is super sweet and it is pretty much a guaranteed A. You do have to show up to class, because she does take attendance and there is A LOT of group work but it wasn't bad at all

Best professor ever!. You could go to her for anything, and she will help you all. Such a caring, and compassionate lady!. Learnt a lot from her.

This is the second time that Ive taken Dr.D. If you attend class, you wont need to read the text. Her lectures are based on active learning, which makes it easier to learn and understand concepts. One of the best profs Ive had and would very much take her again!

Such a caring and passionate professor. Her active learning really helps when it comes to understanding the concepts. Its an easy A if you come to every class, as participation matters. A lot group participation.

I loved Nancy! She's super helpful and understanding which makes her classes enjoyable to attend. As long as you show up and put in the time and effort, you'll likely get an A which is nice. Group projects are heavy, but give a great opportunity to make friends that you'll have throughout the semester! Definitely would take a class with her again!

Best prof you could ever have. So kind and caring. Easiest A you will ever get. If I could take all my classes with her I would.

Nancy is a very kind and caring person. She provides many examples of life experiences. 90% of class is group work( group presentation, projects, class assignments etc..) Her slides are pre-made and she reads right from them and her exams are from a test bank. Overall an easy A if you show up and participate in her class.

Dr. Doetzel sticks in my mind as one of my favorite professors throughout university. She was incredibly inspiring and thorough in her teaching, and fair with expectations as well as her ability to answer questions/meet. I would 100% choose to study under her again versus the other professors I've had. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

This class is the definition of "easy A" so long as you show up, participate in group discussions, and finish the assigned group work. She pushes active learning and focuses on discussion instead of classic lectures which ends up being pretty fun. It's a super relaxed environment and she's a very generous grader. Overall I had a great time.

Dr. Doetzel is an absolute gem! Shes an easy marker however, there are many pop quizzes based on the textbook. The papers are really easy. Would absolutely take another class with her again.

Lectures are easy but a bit dry. She keeps things interesting by adding in her personal experiences. Thorough reading of the textbook is definitely needed to do well on the midterm and final. Lots of group work- be patient!

Nancy (Dr. D) is great, and made the course fun. Sometimes she can seem unorganized, so just ask for clarification.

Nancy is awesome and made Mass Communication fun. Sometimes she can seem unorganized, so just ask for clarification. Group-work heavy, so it helped that I had a great group.

Social movements was fascinating, I learned a lot. Nancy is great, she pushes you to be a good person to yourself and others.

Nancy is a very nice prof but the amount of "pop" quizzes she hands out is unreal. She expects students to show up EVERY CLASS and will never cancel a class when there is nothing to do. She is not very organized which can be frustrating. If you want no final and somewhat of a chill class, take this class.

Nancy is by far one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life! She is the easiest A possible, a lot of people are scared because her classes are very heavily based on group work & participation but she makes it so easy, and if you stick it through you are practically guaranteed an A. I have taken 3 classes with her, very very easy & enjoyable

I loved Nancy. She is very kind and loves to see you do your best. Sometimes the classes are very chaotic and instructions arent very clear but it is a great course for boosting your GPA as long as you attend and participate!! I was assigned more papers than I was anticipating.

Nancy is one of the most amazing sociology profs! Her lectures are fun, inspiring and intriguing. She does a lot of group projects and thats how I made some amazing life long friends! She gets you to think about society and how you can really make a difference! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Hands down the sweetest prof! Heavy on textbook use and class discussions, participation matters. Lots of groups work, easy to pass if you pay attention and participate.

Great prof, super friendly. Only thing I didn't enjoy was that most of our learning was textbook based and very little teaching done in class. That being said attendance is mandatory as you'll do group discussions. Pretty easy class, and informative.

Super Nice! I had her before for SLGY 1101, very unorganized not familiar with technology, but very understanding. Uses textbook a lot, as well as several videos and marks, come from group discussions. Participation gets you marks, and a very easy marker as long as you complete assignment

Dr. D is extremely kindhearted and wants students to do well in her class more than anything, that is very clear. Light participation marks, one midterm, and one non-cumulative final. Honestly a breeze of a course, the readings are very long but not super heavy in terms of content difficulty. A lot of common sense is used in this course.

Nancy was amazing. She cares about her students so much, and the course outline makes the class sound super dull, but it isn't. She grades off many things, is very forgiving, and will give bonus marks. She uses active learning as her teaching style, which helps students feel engaged in the material. I 100% recommend taking her courses.

Easy marker. Participation is emphasized. Lots of things graded on, but worth little. Lots of group discussions.

Emphasizes participation, although some people don't prefer this, I found I retained course info really well. Lots of group projects/presentations. Gives clear feedback. Really easy to do well in this class, just do your homework and participate.

Dr. D is one of the best soci profs at this school. She teaches in an active learning style, so all of our classes were group project based. The people who choose, or stay in, Dr. D's classes know this so they are usually good team workers! Dr. D is a sweet lady. She doesn't grade very hard. And there is opportunity for easy grades.

Nancy is a quirky but very sweet woman. Attendance and participation matter A LOT in her classes. She uses the active learning model in her classes, so prepare to talk a lot. Easy marker, relatively easy exams. Lots of opportunities for extra, small grades. I would recommend Nancy.

Participation is mandatory in this class. She is a very nice prof. I would just say to be prepared to teach yourself. Most of her classes are taught via the students themselves doing presentations on the chapters. So some work in that sense. Easy in the sense that the course load is not heavy. Easy A+ by simply showing up.

She literally tells you that it's an active learning class so it's not lecture heavy. You do have to read the textbook it's not that difficult and it's easy to follow,, she's very kind and she tends to ramble but she's overall a cool prof.

Dr. D is an amazing Prof who cares deeply about the success of her students in all areas. Active learning is not for everyone and if you end up in a bad group it's tough. She grades fair and is very engaging. Someone was annoyed about Dr.D requesting she be addressed as "Dr." well it's called respect and she deserves it. Attendance is mandatory.

Had 2 classes with Dr. D throughout my University and loved both classes! Attendance and participation is mandatory. If you don't like group work do not take this class. If you want to feel inspired by the person who is teaching, hear incredible guest speakers speak and be in a safe environment, this is the class for you.

Say what you guys want but Dr. D is amazing. She is so kind, and has a good way of teaching which is active learning and it is so much better than listening to profs read off of a powerpoint. She is understanding and you will get a good grade if you put in the effort.

She is a good prof but there are a lot of presentations that worth so little of your grade, it doesn't have finals, but it has 2 midterms, each midterm is divided into 2 parts one group worth 4%, and the other one is individual 30%, then last midterm is divided into two as well group part worth 5%, individually worth 15%

Dr. D's class is participation-heavy, but she's a sweet prof who makes it easy to do well. Just stay engaged, work with your group, and let unstuck AI help with study prep - you'll be on your way to an easy A.

Easy and fun course if you work with your group!

Dr D is the best. She is such a fun gal. Her stories and life experiences are wild. I absolutely adore her and hope to get her for more classes.

Pretty disorganized & forgetful sometimes. NOT tech savvy. Lots of group projects & presentations (u get assigned a group and ur stuck w/ them for the whole Semester). Expects EVERYONE to contribute to class discussions. 99% of tests were online. Made us read a lot of textbook content so ur kinda self-teaching. But such an easy GPA booster class!

ATTENDANCE IS SO MANDATORY. I enjoyed this class because I work well with other people, if you do not you MUST take another prof. So important to show up and take notes because most of what you are tested on are things from lectures. Easy class but you have to stay on top of everything (weekly quizzes, projects).
