This is by far the easiest teacher I have ever taken. In fact, her class was probably the easiest class I have ever taken in college and possibly high school. No tests, little homework that she just looks at and gives you the full credit, and one big group project which is very fun and easy. If you need to take Sociology, take her.

I have had Ms Herington for a couple classes - I read all the comments about her class being easy but I also know that about 1/4 of the class fails. If you go to class and participate and hand in your homework you will get a good grade. Most important I think she is an exeptional teacher that really knows how to get students involved.

Listen - I had Herrington for Sociology 2 years ago, and I literally am writing this review because if you haven't yet taken her class, you HAVE to. She is by far one of the best professors I've had to date; so knowledgeable and funny. Easy A if you do 2 minute online assignment. Wish I was still at COD to be taught by her again. She's a blast.

OMG, she was great. I learned many views of the world and how to view it. I took it for 8 weeks and it was great. Easy A if you do the online work. There are no tests, so be relieved. No papers except for one easy assignment. TAKE HER! Textbook only used to write short opinions. Didn't really read it.

I just finished the 8 week class last week and loved it. She opens your eyes to so many real issues and makes you really "think." No tests which is awesome but be ready to do some short daily work assignments! Awesome teacher who views her points and will challenge yours just in order to make you think! Awesome class and great professor! TAKE

Herrington is one of the best professors I've had by far. She opens your eyes to issues that really matter in the world. She's a life changer. There aren't any tests, easy homework assignments, and one big group project but it's not too bad. Taking her class is absolutely essential.

If you have the opportunity to take a class with Herrington do it. I transferred schools and I wish I had someone like Herrington there. Your grade is based on coming to class and participating, doing short online homework tasks, and one project. Do it all, and you will get an A.

This was my favorite class to date. She is an instructor who is real with the students and relates the lesson to today. The class was always fun and I looked forward to going every week. She makes you work but it doesn't seem like work since it is all so interesting and relevant. Look forward to taking more classes with her

She has an amazing outlook on life and if you want to really feel like you actually gained something from a class for once, take her class. She is a very strong woman but also super nice and hilarious. Mostly discussion based class style and as long as you stay on top of hw, youre set

Class was too relaxed, students left or didn't come because lectures were so unguided & unrelated to sociology. She talks about herself more than she teaches & gives extra credit if you pay attention to her personal life & take notes about her. There are no tests/quizzes, but there assignments and attendance is mandatory. Sometimes she's funny.

Professor Herrington has by far been one of my favorites at COD. She is very laxed, and is great for the subject she teachers. I took Sexual Relationship/Family/Marriage with her to complete my associates degree. I HIGHLY recommend that you take that class, it's super fun. She does not have a textbook you have to purchase also! (bonus!) take her!!!

She is very engaging and definitely knows how to spark the interest of just about every student in class. On top of that she is also attractive which makes it even more easy to focus up.

No tests, but lots of outside work that you are responsible for. Straightforward course, though I did not appreciate her potty mouth. Very disorganized teacher - the class had to remind her each and every day of what our last lecture (aka her rants on what she says is right/wrong in society) was on. An opinionated my way or the high way woman.

The hw is 50% of your grade and as long as you make it out to be faily detailed you will get A's on them. Also attendence is 25% of your grade so you shouldnt fail no matter what. The last 25% is on a final presention which is very easy to get an A on if you know what your taking about and say it with confidence.

Professor Herrington probably teachers one of the easiest and most enjoyable classes I've ever taken. Her lectures and kind of all over the place and she's pretty scatter brained, but she keeps class fun. There's very little homework.
