Great teacher! Tests you need to study for but if you put time into them you'll get an easy A. Half Book/Half Lecture. You only have 4 papers to write and you get a few chances for extra credit.

A very nice lady. You only get graded on 4 papers. She lays out exactly what she wants making it easy. Additionally, there is 4 exams including the final if you score good on the first three then do not have to take the final. You are told to read the books for the exams but never read them. I did the hybird class

Dr Myers is a very nice lady. She also makes class super easy. She makes study guides, as well as book assignments to fill out as you're reading one of the four books. This made studying for tests easy. Lectures are kind of dry, but there are a few films to watch throughout the semester. You write four papers, but they are easy.

Caring teacher, I do like her but I think you shouldn't take her if you want to learn the subject. You will read handouts written as bulletin points. Expected to remember random information. If it's not random, then it wasn't properly explained on why I should care. SparkNotes the 4 books. She makes it easy to pass but hard to learn.

If you want to learn anything about sociology I wouldnt recommend her. Her exams are basically all memory based like she would pick random quotes from the book we read and it would be a question on the test and there a lot to remember. However the papers are really easy and you only write four 1 page essays. You do alot of fun things in class

This teacher is well organized and clear in what she expects from you. There was a bit of reading between the book and lectures. However, she was thorough and left no room for error on her expectations of the student. The assignments (especially the papers) were always enjoyable and makes you think about society a bit different. Highly recommend!

Extremely easy 'quizzes' and has short papers. You don't really learn anything, very cut and paste type class. If you want an easy A go for it, but if you want to learn, then don't take this class. Assignments are due every other week. 3 units

This is the easiest class i've ever taken. If you actually do the work that takes 20 min tops you'll get an A. I have not lost a single point in this class. Prof. is really flexible too, will let you submit stuff even after the due date, w/o taking points off. Take this class for an easy A. Did not learn much - but super easy.

Best professor this school ever hired. If you just simply do the few assignments she asks of you then you will pass the class. You dont learn anything, she lets you read the lecture notes when she gives you quizzes. She gives you the page number in the book for each question on the tests. Overall easy A class, only take if you need a easy A.

Professor Myers was a great professor with an easy class. All the quizzes were like assignments so nothing is proctored and its open note. If you do the work (which is super simple), youre guaranteed to pass. It took me an hour-an hour 1/2 a week to finish the classs work. Super good and Myers is amazing!

Despite what people say about how this class is so easy, it is true. I took this is as a summer class, and it is the easiest class ever. You do not learn anything. All you have to do is do the homework and the papers, and you will get an A. For the homework, all you have to do is basically copy off from the book, and you're done. Easy A.

Professor Myers was by far the easiest and most laid back professor ever. I learned absolutely nothing in her class because every single assignment was copy and paste. If you want to learn anything about sociology then dont take her. However, if you want an easy A then take her. Super easy A class if you do the assignments on time.

I am a month into this course, completed the first paper and exam. Probably have spent a total of 4 hours working on this class so far- half an hour on the paper(100%), 3 hours for the exam which included all months work.. Kind of upsetting that I learned more from my highschool sociology class than I am from this one. There is no deeper learning.

Not a lot of homework. Graded based on 3 exams and 3 papers. So if you fail or incomplete one. You lose 16% which means everything is super important. Lectures are interesting and she gives you the resources to sucessed. For the exams, you get a cheat sheet to use. If you need to choose a teacher, pick her!!

Professor Myers is a sweet & caring teacher. You can use cheatsheets (on 1/2 the test material) on the 3 easy exams given, there's barely any HW & you don't have to work hard at all to get an A. You honestly don't learn much but I liked her and she was pretty accommodating. If you have other hard classes and need an easy A- pick this one. Trust me!

I took Intro to Sociology with Phyllis. She's really lenient and nice. Her grading system is set up so that papers and exams (there are three of each) are both worth half of your grade so you should be able to pass if you're good at one and not the other. Also, half of the content on exams is open note. Would recommend!
