Extreme feminist. Hates men, you can tell after just 1 lecture.

Very on topic. Lectures are on what the student has taken from the articles on the book and how we as students feel. It has helped me to appreciate my world so much more and the cultures around me. I have more of an understanding of things and my eyes are more open now. I am glad she lets the class express their views as well...

She is a very nice lady and the material and things covered in class are interesting. But there are only 5 assignments total, so if you screw up on one or more, there is no chance of coming back. Instructions are NOT clearly given, so grades can suffer because of this as well. Class needs some better structuring in regards to what is expected.

She is a very nice person and if you go to her with questions on something she will definitely help you. However, there are only 5 assignments. 4 online tests and one 5-7 page paper, so if you do bad on a few of these your grade will plummet. She lectures about stuff not related to the topic, too.

Though her lectures often run over on time and drag a little bit, she wants to help you get through the class. As long as you do the readings before they are discussed and take notes in class the tests are a breeze. The tests are all online as is the final paper, which is explained explicitly in the syllabus at the beginning of the semester.

Professor Grant is extremely knowledgable & her lectures are very intriguing. Since Ive began her class I've opened my eyes to so many more things. She is a terrific person and though her lectures seem very long at times and there is a lot of reading, you are educated on many many things. I recommend this class to everyone.

She's an amazing professor. This class required a lot of reading but the books are really interesting and worth the read. She turns it more into a class discussion where we just tell our opinions and then she'll give us questions to think and talk about.

Dr. Grant is the best professor I have ever had. Reading all of these negative reviews of her makes me sick. It is extremely easy to get a 100% in any of Dr. Grant's classes, you just have to do the reading and write a VERY short synopsis of what you read. Classes are discussion based, and very fun. You will learn SO much from her, if you try.

Dr. Grant is a very nice and caring Professor. This specific class is completely Lecture, discussion, and reading based. No homework assigned all semester. No points for participation. Only grades are 5 tests and a Final Paper. Final paper isn't too bad and acts as the Exam. If you read what is assigned and pay attention, you can get an A.

I really enjoyed this class, there are only 4 tests and they are all open book online. The reading material is interesting but there is a lot of it. The final paper counts as your final and it is fairly simple. Class is discussion based, just make sure you keep up with the readings.

Dr. Grant is by far the WORST communicator when it comes to online classes. She claims she checks email throughout the weekdays & tries respond within 24 (business) hrs, however takes 3-7 days to respond. When asking for clarification, none is given. Assignments not graded for over a month. ZERO feedback on assignments all semester long.

Not good at answering emails. The lectures don't have anything to do with assignments/tests, therefor going to class is kind of pointless. Most of the assignments are discussions which are fairly easy.

This professor tends to focus on her viewpoints, and picks specific content to discuss in class that appears to back up her viewpoint. She assumes everyone in there are like minded individuals with very little differentiation in thought. Never opened the textbook as it is useless. Just use google online and you'll be fine. DONT RECCOMEND.

The thing was Professor Grant is she is truly a great educator. She is heavy on discussions because she wants to hear what you have to say. She is extremely respected and she is very personable. She uses upwards of 4 textbooks which seems like alot but they are riveting pieces of text that are really the foundation of your sociological perspective.

When I am in this class, I wish I was unconscious. Attendance is a grade so you have to show up which hurts me. This class is so boring and she gets off topic so much I forget I am on earth and I have learned nothing. I literally pray that Jesus comes back to earth before I go into that class in hopes I won't have to go. Easy A tho.

Only really grades Friday discussion boards for supplementing and if you dont do them youll fail. Dr. Grant is a really sweet lady but a very boring lecturer after a while. Her voice just puts me to sleep.

I took Professor Grant's class in my freshman year, and she really helped me gain an understanding on how to do research for future classes and how to properly write papers at a college level. She's very knowledgeable and as long as you do the weekly assignments you'll pass with an A no problem!

Nicole Grant is one of my favorite sociology teachers at NKU! Her lecture materials are very easy to follow and she provides amazing additional sources when needed. She's very clear about what she's looking for and assignments are always very well explained and fairly graded. I take classes with this teacher as often as possible!!

There is a lot of reading for this course and discussions to complete, but I personally learned a lot from this course. The quizzes at the beginning of the semester were really long; all of her quizzes are short-answer questions, but towards the end of the semester we had fewer questions to answer. She is very understanding and easy to talk to.

Took her SOC 320 class, was completely our of the textbook. You read the chapter and then do the activity at the end of the chapter in a discussion board post. As long as you read the chapters you'll be fine but she is not very involved in the course.

I have Prof. Grant for SOC 330 (online). The class is constructed simply: read the chapter, write a discussion board, and take a quiz. There is one final. She is very hands-off with the course and doesn't interact much, but I'd say she's a fine professor. This is the only class I've had with her but I would take another one if needed.
