Professor Feather is one of the best teachers I've had. She's hilarious, nice, easy to understand, and very helpful and quick to respond to e-mails. HIGHLY RECOommend.

Took class when Nancy was a grad student, so I'm sure she is even better now. She was an excellent instructor as well as a compassionate individual. She was always well prepared and her classes were interesting. Good sense of humor.

Nancy is a great teacher! She makes the topic really interesting and easy to understand. Also is very open to discussion from the class. Just reads the notes, and tells you exactly what is on each test. A very easy class!

EASY EASY EASY class. She is direct and gives you exactly what will be on the test on review day. Good videos in class. Good discussions, if any. Easy to take notes from. Highly Recommended.

Easiest class ive ever taken, I didnt even come to class for two weeks and got a B on the exam. Everything she says comes directly out of the book...WORD FOR WORD so when you do go to class just take a highlighter and highlight what she says. Highly reccommend her!!!

She is the BEST college professor that I have encountered... (to date). I love this professor and recommend anyone looking 4 3hrs of cluster "b" credit to take this course... I will definately be taking another course she teaches!!!

Nancy is great! If your looking for an easy A take her! She reviews for her test the day before and to study all you have to do is look over your notes a few times! Make the class interesting! She is great!

Feather Rocks!

bangin easy class. read the book you dont even have to go to class just show up and take that test. like a mid high school level course rather than college

Nancy is the best. Take her. She doesn't try to trick you. She tells you exactly what will be on the exam, and if you pay attention in class you don't even need the book. I love Nancy.

Such an awesome lady! She let's you know what is exactly on the tests, you can miss class occasionally, and you learn a lot.

EASY CLASS - notes are taken directly from the book, tests are pretty much common sense, great teacher if you go to class you will actually learn a lot and the material is somewhat interesting. You can get an A in here with minimal effort.

She is a awesome lady, she makes it clear what is going to be on the test and exams and she also explains everything with excellent clarity. She is not like other professors that don't care about their students, she cares.

Very influential and interested on the topic she teaches!

Very easy class. Her lectures notes come straight from the book and so do her tests! Easy A! She is very nice,and I enjoyed the class!

Very good teacher, lets u kno whats going to be on the tests!

Easiest prof. ever! Very flexible, very informative. Doesn't take attendance and takes notes from the book, but u don't even need to buy a book if you take good notes. Grading is straight forward...she "reviews" w/ what's on the test W/ THE TEST! Lectures aren't boring either. GET THIS PROF!!!

great material, taught in a way that made you learn and succeed in the class. She respects each student and treats you as such. Great instructor......get in her class if you can!

Ms. Feathers presents a very informative class. She is down to earth and willing to teach you, unlike other professors at this university. If you are looking for a filler class, and interested in learning a little bit choose her for a semster. An A on your transcript never hurts!

She is an interesting teacher. She trys to make things fun.

Very helpful... Very easy class! Highly recommended

Professor Feather is a great and interesting teacher. she keep the class interesting and is always willing to help...she really cares about her students.

very easy, tells you what to know for test

Awesome and easy! Love the class and Feather!

Nicest lady! Very funny, tells stories, and makes her class fun. She's fair in terms of testing, and really wants her students to do well. Take her!

Nancy Feather is a wonderful person that is very passionate about what she is teaching. Her class is very easy and interesting. It is very hard to fail this class! She tells you everything you need to know for tests and everything comes straight from the book! A+ teacher!!

if you have an attention span, you can pass this class.

VERY EASY! She is a nice lady and this is actually a really interesting class...my favorite so far! She shows interesting movies, and all her notes come straight from the test. Take your book and a pen to class...that's all you need.

Shes awesome..point blank.

Great teacher......goes by the book the entire time but gives clear examples on how to understand the definitions.

Great! Best professor EVER!! Easy A. Follows the book word for word. AWESOME!!!

Tests are all vocab. Make Flashcards and you have an A. Very nice, teaches right out of the book. Gives extra credit for attendence. BIG CLASSES THOUGH. ONLY 5 MC tests.

BORING!

Really nice professor, goes strait from the book. rarely takes attendance, very clear on material. She also reviews for tests. If u need this class, get her to teach it.

She's wonderful. If you are going to take SOCA 101, Take Feather!

Feather is great, if you have to take a soc class, she makes hers worthwhile...:)yay

just know the key terms and you will easily pass

I got an A in chem 117, bio 115 and calc 1 and still mananged a B in her class... if u'r a math/science person this class isn't for you

Here's how I did this class: I went for the first two weeks, realized her lectures weren't based on anything but the textbook, stopped going to class except for the review day before the day of the exam, studied for an hour, got an A on the test. End result? A in the class. Difficulty level of a 10th grade health class. Remember those? YEAH.

This class is easy, but lectures are relatively unhelpful. I felt like going to class was a waste of time since lectures were straight from the book. Go to class on review days. Tests were extremely easy aside from some boring statistics that were hard to memorize. I almost got a B because of the stats, but other than that tests are easy.

This class is so easy...she gives you exactly what is on the tests for reviews-you don't even have to show up most of the time, but she does give random attendance points. VERY easy class.

i loved the class. easy and she makes it interesting. i actually stay awake in this class.

she is a very sweet woman. the class is easy i love soca anyway but she keeps it real test are easy. she is awesome

Prof. Feather explains concepts in an easy-to-understand way with great examples. She is passionate about the subject... she even shows a video of her experiences in Amish country. Prof. Feather made me a more open-minded person. She has a great sense of humor and an even better taste in music! She comes across as genuinely sweet and compassionate.

Very easy class, interesting too! Tests come straight from the notes so if you go to class and take notes it's hard not to get an A. Uses lots of examples and videos so it's easy to understand. Take her!

Very friendly teacher. Cares about her students. Lectures somewhat interesting.

tends to ramble, but a very easy class. as long as you get the notes you will pass

Test questions are hard to answer. For some reason they confuse you about what you memorize from the workbook. All you do is take notes in workbook. A few of the test questions will be straight from her mouth during a lecture. Only gives 3 exams and the last final is not cumulative. However, I still took it for an easy A and ended up with a B.

Easy class, she tells you exactally what's on the test. You just copy notes in a workbook. Can get boring, but it's a good class to take.

Nacy feather is a really easy teacher. She gives you a notebook with everything you need to know in the class and the class before exams she tells you 95 % of what will be on the test, take her for 101

This class is SIMPLE. The tests come right from her mouth and the workbook. I asked her 3 questions on a test and she gave me 3 answers, she will bend over backwards for you, eventhough i would love to see her bend over backwards..hahaha, take her, youll know what i mean

I expected to hate this class, but it was actually somewhat interesting. Very easy.

wonderful woman - presents info clearly - sometimes rambles about one thing for the whole class but it is worth going to cause of the extra credit she gives sometimes...she was great!

Easy class. Very nice teacher, will help you get a good grade.

Can be boring and tends to talk a lot and ramble on. Interesting class though.

I LOVE FEATHER! SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE AT WVU!!

AWESOME class. extrememly easy. i NEVER went to class, only 4 times, once for each exam and i pulled a C+. every test is straight from your workbook and your workbook answers are straight from the book. class isnt madatory so that helps. very helpful and easy teacher. def. recommend for sociology.

DONT buy the book...JUST BUY THE WORKBOOK! I never once opened my book--totally useless. Nancy's tests only come from lecture material in your workbook. So get the WB material somehow. Attendance only taken twice(once 4 bonus) Tests were semi-tricky though, made it seem like numerous answers were right. I think everyone in the class did well.

She is a very good teacher. She keeps class interesting with good examples and different teaching styles. Do not buy the book, just the workbook. Her tests are entirely from the workbook (which she wrote). Attendance is not mandatory, but it definitely helps tremendously.

AWESOME teacher! I love her, her lectures are really interesting and she is so so nice! Just buy the workbook and take notes in that, thats where the test questions are from. Tests aren't extremely easy but I barely studied and pulled off a B. I definitely recommend her!!!!

she's an awesome teacher. the class is easy as long as you go and take notes in the work book. she takes attendance sometimes. and her tests are so easy as long as you study.

The lectures really dragged on especially in a 3 hr night class. The tests were easy and mostly based on statistics.

This class is very easy. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!! She has a workbook you can buy which is all you need. Tests come straight from the workbook. Attendance is randomly taken.

Great teacher, LOTS of examples--seriously like 20 for each topic, and buy her lecture notebook and you'll be set its a great study guide and you will know exactly what you need to write down!

easy A

She's a really nice lady, and is very interested in teaching, and the students learning the material. She can be a little flaky at times, but always has stories or examples to keep you interested when you go to class. If you get the class notebook and study it, you will do fine on the exams. One of my easiest classes of my freshman year.

Take Brewster for SOCA 101 if you want an A!!! It is HARD to get an A from this class because exam questions are so tricky. My GPA is 3.5 so far and I am in senior year, but I couldn't get A because exams were so tricky.

The notebook for the class is convenient, but you must take good notes, and read over them (copy down the statistics she gives you) if you want an A. Attendance factors into your grade (and you never know when she'll take attendance), so go to class!

This was a pretty easy class if you had the notebook. Basically, write down all the things she says about a bulleted item, & star them when she reviews for an exam. Memorize the starred items, take the test, & forget about the information--you'll never need it again. Also, don't buy the textbook...I easily got an A with just the notebook

She was a good teacher, Get her optional study guide notebook and pay attention in class and to the videos and you will get an easy high B or an A.

Nancy is a cool lady. She makes the class easy and rather interesting. She shows some wild movies. You don't even need a book just the work book all of your material lies within that thing. Do the few assignments and go to class now and again. If you get less than a B your truely an idiot.

Easy class. Just buy the notebook at the beginning of the year and fill it out. She goes over exactly what will be on the test the week before. Large lecture class, but still asks for input from students, good teacher.

EASY!! She is a really nice lady and she makes her lectures interesting. If you buy the notebook at the beginning of the year and take notes it is an easy A. Attendance is not a big deal at all. She takes attendance maybe 10 times a semester and most of those are at the end of semester. take her!!

Heads up, she WILL frustrate you sometimes. She talks about random crap alot of the time. Makes you watch videos that are heartbreaking and no relevance to the material. The class is easy, the tests are different. It's an A, though. Do well on tests and get attendance.

Nancy is a great teacher. Go to class, take the notes in the back of the textbook, write the reaction papers and take the tests. Tests right off the notes. It really is that easy. Just pay attention.

Ms. Feather is a good teacher. Although she is boring, if you force yourself to stay awake and pay attention, you don't even have to study to get A's on the tests.

TAKE HER CLASS!!! Easiest A. Don't need to attend class, but always did, because she keeps it fun and it is her lectures are interesting. Shows a lot of movies. A few written papers, but very easy.

Good teacher and she keeps my interest

I love me some Nancy Feather. I have her for 221 this semester, the night class. The material isn't interesting but she is. Sweetest lady in the world, gives study guides and will go over them with you, a couple easy online assignments.. it's a good class to be in. Everyone should take her/221!

Nancy is a great teacher and her classes are interesting. HOWEVER, her test and assignments are ridiculous! The way she words things makes you constantly second guess yourself. I would have an A but due to the tests have a b-c.

I really enjoyed her class. i suggest buying the textbook as it makes the exams easier and to attend class because how she explains the definitions are usually how she words her exam questions.This class didn't require to much effort to get an A

I don't understand why all these people don't like Feather. Although class was very boring, this was the easiest class in the world! She gives you like 5 extra credits worth up to 5 points each and they are all so easy. Assignments are kind of difficult but tests are pretty easy! Take this for an easy GEC.

It was pretty easy. Take notes and don't forget to do the online assignments and you'll be fine.

a good teacher but ridiculously feminist which can become quite annoying as a male. If you take her and are not a feminist be prepared for the marriage section. She makes women out to be completely innocent and men out to appear as terrible people. Aside from that she really is a great professor

I felt that her class was pretty easy. She uses scenarios to explain terms and most of the time those same scenarios are on tests. The online assignments are pretty much like the scenarios used in class. Just pay attention to her scenarios and you'll get at least a B.

This is by far one of the easiest classes at WVU. Go to class, take the notes, and study half an hour before the exam and you'll get an A.

Very easy class, she tells you exactly what is on every test. You do need the book though, I didnt have the book for the first test and bombed it but when it came in I managed to get A's on the rest. Easy and if you need soc 101 take this!

She is very easy, tests are fair. Tells you exactly what terms to know for the test and the random bonus attendance points are really nice. Come to class and take down everything she says. She shares long and drawn out stories about each term but it is very helpful in memorizing.

Attendance is not mandatory, but you get extra credit points throughout the semester if you are there. If you go to class, then this is an easy A. She goes over the material that will be on the exam the day before.

She is really nice and keeps the class interesting. She tells you exactly what is on the exams with no surprises. I actually enjoy going to her class!!

She helps alot, and gives you work for word defenitions for what you need to know. Tests aren't extremelly hard. Study and you will get an A.

Prof. Feather is pretty great. She's funny and kind of sarcastic sometimes but super easy to get along with. She uses a bunch of everyday scenarios to help you understand the topic she is discussing. Also she made her textbook into a half note book with note outlines. So all you do is write the definitions in. Makes tests much easier to study for!

Probably the most unorganized professors I have ever at WVU. She never knows where we are in the class and often repeats what she has taught us already. She is pretty much clueless with technology. The class is harder than what it should be too. She is however really nice which is good because it makes the class bearable.

Ms. Feather is a good professor. She relates what we're learing to real life scenarios which makes it easier to understand.She made the textbook with an outline of notes for us in the back. Make sure you buy the text. Overall good class. Should be an easy A or B. Students often disrespect her in class, but she is VERY nice & willing to help anytime

Love her!Make sure to buy the textbook, it has an outline for notes in the back which is how she does notes. Students are mean to her but she is the nicest person ever. She repeats things because she teaches a lot of classes here & its hard to remember where you left off in each class. Give her a break. Def reccommend her!

Easy teacher if you go to her class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but bonus points are given once a week. Unorganized when it comes to her online assignments and isn't very good with technology. Overall, she's a really good teacher in her field and I would definitely recommend taking her. Make sure to get the book, all the nots are in there.

Super easy GEC if you go to class and take half decent notes. Tests are straightforward and material is straight from lecture. The book is a waste of money, don't buy it. Attendance is extra credit. She rambles a lot in lecture when she gives scenarios/examples. She is awful with technology. Overall, I def recommend her for soc 101.

I absolutely love Nancy Feather! She is a really great professor, explains things very well and relates them to real life, which makes everything easier to understand. Very helpful and kind, but sadly many people take advantage of that, which is disappointing. She knows a lot about sociology and I plan on taking another class with her next semester

Probably the easiest professor i have ever had. Just go to class and write down what she says and you will get a A.

She is great and the class is cake. Attendance is only 20 points out of 400 so it's not a big deal if you miss class but I'd recommend going. On days before the exam, she tells you everything that will be on it. Buy the book! The notes are formatted in the back of it so it makes it easier. You only have to write one little paper. Great class.

I had her for SOCA 101 and she was so easy. talks and starts class with a music video and trys to joke. the day before the exam she goes through all the notes and tells you what you need. im not a soc major but shes great so i took her SOCA 221 class for another easy class and gpa booster.

She is an very easy teacher. All she does is sit in her chair but she gives you all the information that you need. I had her for SOCA 101 and the words were in the book and I just jotted them down and made flashcards. Class is way easier if you do that. The work is easy too!

Extremely easy class. Yeah, the class is boring since you're just jotting down the definitions she gives you, however she tells you EXACTLY what will be on each exam. I got atleast a 95 on each exam which took me no longer than 10 minutes to finish. Good GPA booster.

Shes an awesome teacher, class was super easy. I do recommend getting the soft cover book.. makes taking notes way easier.. if you just go to her reviews before the tests, she will tell you every single thing that will be on the test.. such a easy class

Feather Is a great professor despite what people are saying. The class is extremely easy, study the notes and you'll do very well on the tests. I never got below a 90% on the tests. Honestly dont rememeber if we had to even buy the textbook but if we did, i barely used it.

Such a boring class! She was very unorganized and could barely keep her thoughts together. The only reason to come to class is for clicker points, but she gives enough extra credit opportunities to make up for missing a few times.

She was an alright professor. Her class was easy, but she usually read to us out of the book. You had to take notes by listening also. So if you aren't an auditory learner, I would not suggest this class.

Her lectures are all over the place, but before every exam she goes over exactly what will be on the exam.

Class was boring, only went to get the notes and the tests were mostly just the notes.

Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. If you take the 3-week summer class, you'll feel like you just stole 3 credits.

I love this class she makes me laugh every single class and she tries to relate to us

Easiest thing you will do in college is take her class. Buy the workbook she made for the class. You will learn more by looking up the definitions on your own than in class. Show up day before an exam and you will be fine, keep an eye on your syllabus sometimes she has a writing paper for you but not worth many points and LOVES student athletes

Always had great stories to tell with every concept she introduced. Hilarious and made lectures enjoyable. Read straight out of the book and posts notes on ecampus.

Gets off topic a lot but if you pay attention and write notes, you should be fine.

Nancy is a great teacher. She makes all the work very easy to understand and gives great stories and examples. Also, we watched two movies in her class that I thought were very good and entertaining. She goes over exactly what will be on the exam. Definitely buy the workbook!

She is super sweet. Literally everything she talks about word for word is on the tests. Just don't forget to take the quizzes the weekend of the exam. That's 20 pts you'll lose.

You don't need the textbook for her class. She's very friendly as long as you pay attention and respect. Her lectures are what is on the exam. She basically goes through each word in the textbook and defines it and gives examples that will be on the quizzes and exams. She uses iclickers and takes attendance twice a week.

Lectures are pretty boring, but if you show up and kind of listen, you should do well on the tests. She gets off topic a lot, and reads her lecture straight from the book, so you don 't really need to buy it. Overall, very easy A.

Great professor, highly recommend.
