Pr. Browne is very nice , helpful and understandable. I learned a lot from her class, she make us think and get involved in discussions. That's why classes were not boring . But it not very easy, every week you will need write response paper and take on line quiz, also there are 3 exams, those are hard. if u want better understand life, take her!
. Make sure to read the chapters previous to the online quizzes, the book is necessary for this, most of the information is in there so don't try and use common knowledge- use the book. exams are easy if you study for them! good class, good professor. :)
I love her style of teaching. She's very interactive and I personally find her class to not be boring. Are discussions can range from 0 to 10 but its always a good time.
I had to leave the semester early for personal reasons to get a full time job and she was really understanding and helpful. She allowed me to make up my exam and was very helpful to me. I definitely recommend her and her class it was so fun and she really knows what she is talking about. I would take her class again.
From the first lecture I could tell that Professor Browne was a laid back type of person who expects your participation in the form of discussion. You can voice your opinions and it NEVER felt like a dull highschool class. The course flows very well, with lectures being modern, interactive and informative. I recommend this professor and course!
Professor Browne is an incredible teacher. Her lectures are very interesting. She gives you extra credit options, study guides, and other helpful resources. Follow her study guides and you will do terrific on the test!
I enjoyed taking this class. The professor kept the in class discussions light hearted and funny. Don't be afraid to speak up in class. Have a news item prepared to share with the class.
Such a great formatted class
I thought she did a very good job at her job! I learned a lot and saw many new perspectives that I had no seen before.
Professor Browne is an amazing teacher that I would love to take again. She is very understanding and makes the class itself very understandable and easy. Lectures are great and covers all the material needed to get an A on the exams. She also makes the exams interesting alongside her study guides making you prepared. Overall, amazing professor.
Overall she is not a strict teacher she is considerate. If you did your work you will be fine. But do come to class because it is part of your participant points. You will have weekly online quizzes, they aren't hard at all as long as you read from your textbooks. You should have a text book for this course because it will help you a lot. :)
Very funny/sarcastic. 3 exams, non cumulative, all with study guides. 1 group essay. 14 online, open booked quizzes. 10 response papers (1-2 pages, not bad). Recommend to take her!!!! Don't know why she has a C+.. People at crc are really lazy to work for a good grade, I guess. Not an easy A but do all your work, go to class, & study for tests A
was fine, really easy class
Not too hard, if you read and study you'll do fine in this class.
One of the best ones I've ever come across. Extremely helpful, hilarious, lectures are very insightful, respectful of others opinions and really gets you involved during class. Also, gives good feedback for response papers and treats you more like a friend rather than a student. P.S. everyone loved her in my class and was involved in all lectures.
I enjoyed her class. You will learn something from her. She will not allow you out of the class if you haven't learned the material, in other words. Do not expect that just showing up is enough, because it is not. I would take her again, because you will retain something as a result. Plus she is (a little) silly, not much, but enough.
She was very quick with lectures but if you do the reading you will be fine. Shes very helpful and understanding. There is research papers and a five page group paper at the end of the semester but they are interesting topics so it make it better. The tests are online and simple if you do the reading. Participation is key .
Great teacher! Super nice and laid back. We had 3 tests and the final was a group project if you do the study guide it is exactly like the test. She told us she was pregnant at the end of the semester but we had no idea because she showed up every morning happy and ready to go! Thank you for a great semester
Professor Browne is a sweet person with a lot of knowledge. She's pretty funny but gets down to business and appreciates participation. She's easily approachable too which is nice. My regret is not doing the reading. You can get a C without reading but life is easier if you just read the chapters. Overall one of my favorite classes so far.
She is a great teacher very funny and makes this subject very fun to learn! If you are not a note taker then reading is going to help you pass. There are 3 exams, most often then not a quiz every week, and one page response papers(they are easy)
Best, sweetest, patient and attentive Sociology Professor. Connects those aspects of sociology to real life occurrences and or usage. Definitely enjoy her lectures and grades are based on points, not weighted. Must take for her class.
Lovely professor, Prof Browne is always up to help you with any questions. I wished i was more open to ask her. There are 6 papers due throughout the semester but they are super easy! Thanks you for a awesome semester!!
Professor Browne was GREAT! there is a 10 question quiz taken online for every chapter we read 3 exams (with clear study guides) - including Final 6 one page response papers (Super Easy) Show up to class for participation points!!! Final Group paper (choose wisely) Uses D2L and updates regularly
She was amazing throughout the semester and made the course extremely interesting although it could be depressing at times
This class was fun! Prof. Browne went in great detail about the topics we were dealing with. She prepared lectures for every class that were long, but they were very helpful. The lectures were based off of the chapters we were on in the textbook. This class required a lot of reading which would mainly be used for online quizzes and short papers.
Great professor. Enjoyed class throughout the semester. Attendance everyday and also references the textbook every lecture. Tests are a bit tough but you should be fine if you read the textbook. Really cool professor that cares about the class. Would recommend.
Mrs. Browne is GREAT. She's very helpful & concerned with her students succeeding. She provides feedback on all assignments (check d2L regularly). Attendance & participation count. 10 question quizzes on every chapter you read. Lectures are long, but good power points. 3 short papers. 3 finals (study guides provided). 1 group final (choose wisely).
I loved her!!!!!! I am fursure going to take her again next semester! She gives back great feedback, interesting lectures, powerpoints are fun and colorful. Easy A if you read the chapters and pay attention. Also for every exam she gives out a study guide !!:)
This class is not an easy A, Rachael is very strict as far as attendance and participation goes. There were lots of quizzes and response papers. A few exams, which are tough, but should be easy if you pay close attention to the study guides she provides you. Although this class was a lot of work, Rachael is such a sweetheart and is willing to help.
great teacher over all
She's a great teacher. Class is not that hard at all. As long as you do your quizzes (which are online) and study for your exams, you'll be fine. Many chances for extra credit so take advantage of it.
Study guides for all exams. Group project/research essay. Weekly online quizzes. Does attendance and will care if you're late. Gets frustrated if no one participates. Easy class but you do have to work for an A.
Prof. Browne was an overall good teacher. There were four exams and a final group project. Textbook is mandatory for online quizzes(weekly) and exams. Provides study guides for tests. She tells you exactly what she wants. Pretty easy class as long as you do your work.
Professor Browne is a great teacher, very clear about her expectations, gives exam study guides with clear guidelines, and will explain more clearly if you ask. She does take participation and attendance seriously! You will have to show up and participate but as long as you do that and do the reading and quizzes you should get an A no problem.
By far the best professor I've had. Super helpful. Hopefully will take another class with her. Interesting lectures.
I've taken her class 3 times and I like her style of teaching .If I hadn't finished taking all my sociology classes I would definitely take her again. She gives good feed back , she may seem laid back but she's tough.
Professor Browne is an amazing proffesor! I took her for 2 Soc classes. You get points for going to class, so attendemce matters. There are reading quizzes (online), but if you read the chapters they are super easy. And quiz questions are on the test. She gives studyguides for EXACTLY is on the test. It is an interactive class! Sheposts ppt online
Great teacher! Super easy to pass her class as long as you do the quizzes and pay attention during lectures. I would definitely take a class with her again
Not a horrible class, if you've taken classes that require input on subjects then it'll be simple. interesting to hear different perspectives of students.
Take this professor. Just do it. She's great.
highly recommend taking this professor. She's really helpful when you need it and the class overall is very straight forward. Do the reading and work and you'll easily get an A!
She is a very caring professor, she wants to make sure all of her students understand the subject and work given. Very open about asking questions. Gives out study guides that are SO USEFUL. Best Prof hands down. Make sure you read the material and ask and answer questions during power point lessons/lectures. Extra credit is pretty easy!
There are online quizzes every week (not timed and relatively easy) and response papers due every other week(easy to get 100% as long as you address and answer all the questions) Also there are 3 exams which are exactly like the study guides she gives. She does give points for attendance. Overall the class was not difficult and I would recommend it
She gives easy online quizzes, 3 exams, and a final project. Professor Rachael Browne is a really nice professor, she respects other people's views and opinions. For her exams she gives study guides, also if you go to class on time she gives terminology that might be on the exams. She gives easy extra credit too.
She's a great teacher, really understanding and she makes class enjoyable.
Professor Browne is great at what she does. She's very clear and understanding so DO NOT be afraid to ask her any questions if you have any. Most importantly (to me at least), she's pretty fun. She's not one of those boring people that speaks monotone the whole time so that's a big plus. I'd definitely take another one of her classes again.
She's not the greatest teacher out there. I would take someone else. The book she uses is unrelatable of many personalities and very stereotypical. She doesn't do enough research to support both sides. Just really one sided and doesn't really take other research into consideration. It's either her way or no way. She boasts herself way too much.
Such a good caring professor! Lectures are fun and interesting. Online quizzes are due about every week based on chapter readings but they are not hard at all and are not timed. There are 4 tests and they are fairly easy if you study, based on the study guide she gives out
An amazing Professor who's second to none in regards to the efforts she makes for providing an immersive and interactive educational experience. The course itself is insultingly easy and the teacher provides study guides for each of the exams, extra credit assignments, and offer unique perspectives that emphasize critical thinking casually in class
Great Professor! Is very clear and is willing to help you out. She makes class interesting and encourages class participation. I am planning to take another one of her courses already.
Professor Browne, is amazing! she really cares for her students;she gives out study guides ; extra credit opportunity; a quiz every week just read your book and you'll be good to go. I plan on switching to sociology major, this class has also influenced me on switching.
Loved her and my Social Problems class! Super friendly and approachable. You can tell she cares about her students and genuinely enjoys teaching. Makes the class interesting. There is a group project at the end and quizzes every week but as long as you have the book you are good to go! Best thing you can do is take her class!
Her Social Problems class is great! The course outlines many topics. There's participation points,weekly quizzes, 3 large exams, 1 mini exam, and a project at the end of the semester. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgeable on all the topics. She has given me a lot of insight as a Sociology major! She's very caring, highly reccomend!
Amazing Teacher! You will need to read your book for the weekly quizzes, but they are not timed and are short and easy. I took her night class and after an 8 hour shift work day her lectures are upbeat and interesting. Study Guides are given before each test, DO THEM! They are so helpful and detailed, worth it! She is very easy to reach outsidecla
She is one of the funniest professors ever. She can take really sad subjects and make them better. 2 points each day of class, weekly quizzes (from text book) really fun lectures with videos, extra credit, 4 exams and she gives a detailed study guide.
Prof Browne is the best sociology teacher that I have had the pleasure to take. Her class is super easy and you learn a lot at the same time. I took both her Soc 301 and her Soc 310 at the same time and both of the classes were really interesting. As long as you show up and read the book and do the SG's before the test, you are going to do great!
Wonderful class. I was excited to go to class. I learned a lot that I'm going to take advantage of when I start a family. Discussion style lectures were great! Loves batman. The text is a bit biased though.
TAKE HER! FAST BEFORE CLASSES FILL! I took two of her classes and if I wasnt a biology major I would take another but I cant afford to take classes that I dont need! The tests are super easy and exactly like the study guide, she wants you to do well and gives EC. I never read the book and I have an A, only needed the book for the online quizzes
Pretty much one of the best professors I had at CRC. She gives clear examples relating to the topic and her lectures cover everything that is supposed to be on the test. She also provides study guides which are super useful. The tests are pretty easy since the study guide is provided. Just do the work and go to class, easy. Also, she cares a lot.
Great class, loved all the lectures, the content is incredibly interesting, never once felt like I was going to fall asleep. I loved how anything is always open to discussion and debate. She gives study guides which are very straight forward and they help a ton studying for tests. There is a group essay and presentation at the end.
Professor Browne is laid back in a good way meaning she jokes a lot and her lectures are pretty easy to follow. She posts grades regularly and the slides from lecture. There's also a study guide that literally has all the questions that will be on the exams. 10/10 Recommend Professor Browne
Though we had 3 exams throughout the class, she told us almost everything on the test. Theres many quizzes but all the answers are on google and taken at home quizzes with no time limit. One group project at the end of the semester but not very hard. Gives sooooooo much extra credit. Going to each class is only 2 points so it doesnt hurt to skip.
Open book quizes and 3 exams which you get a detailed study guide pretty much of what will be on the exams. There is writing project which is based on your own personal experiences in regards to each chapter (7 chptrs ), classroom presentations and guest speakers due towards end of the semester. You pretty much have the tools to get you a n A+!
She is an amazing teacher! She actually makes lecture interesting and encourages you to have your own opinion. There are 3 exams all of which come with a study guide that tells you exactly what is on the test. All the quizzes are open book online quizzes with no time limit and she even gives multiple chances to fix your lowest quiz scores. 10/10
Professor Brown is an outstanding professor. I would definitely take her class again she does give many opportunities for extra credit she is fair honest and will definitely make you work for your grade.
You will never find such a better Sociology Professor ! Trust me!
Rachael is the best! She makes her lectures very interesting I never even had to take any notes. Her tests are super easy just make sure you follow the study guide she basically gives you all the answers!
She goes over 1 Chapter a week and 1 online/untimed quiz per chapter. About 3-4 exams but she gives study guides that have the info on it. the final is a group project and easy. Honestly a really good teacher who actually teaches with an unbiased mindset. All you do is show up, read the chapters, and study. I am picky with teachers but i like her.
Really easy class, as long as you pay attention you'll be good. There's three tests, and a group project at the end. Goes over roughly one chapter per week, and you have to take a quiz before you attend class (usually not timed unless the class falls behind) Very nice and caring, easy to get along with and access outside of class.
Easy A. Provided a bunch of extra credit opportunities. Explained every topic thoroughly and clearly. 1 short exam, 3 regular exams, an open-book online quiz each week, 3 assignments throughout the semester, and 1 group essay/presentation assignment. Only thing I wish differently was the group project. I would have done that better individually. A+
Extremely clear and easy standards to follow. The tests are always exactly like the study guides say. Fun extra credit is offered throughout the semester. Both sides of an argument are always presented. Thoroughly answers questions asked in class.
Great teacher. I went in having to take it to transfer. Was not too stoked about it, but I left the class actually learning a thing or two, as well as causing me to look into my own experiences. Study guides are super helpful,. If you follow them, there is no excuse to fail the tests. come to class everyday for an easy two points and do the reading
Great job professor and thanks for everything. You were truly amazing!!
Professor Browne gives a lot of extra credit, gives redemption quizzes that replace lower scores on previous quizzes, and tries her best to make the class as interactive as possible. Easy A if you're responsible and do your work of course. If you want to learn more about sociology or complete a requirement, take her you'll thank me later. :)
Professor Browne is an excellent teacher! She was very approachable and caring. We had several opportunities to take advantage of extra credit. Not many tests, and we only had 1 group project at the end of the semester. She is very kind hearted and she wants you to succeed.
Super easy class. She's really nice, 1-2 quizzes a week online, 4 exams a semester, one group project and paper for the final. Study guides are basically the test. Would take again!
Professor Browne is an amazing! She is understanding and really wants every student to succeed in her class. All quizzes are online, group project, and 4 exams with study guides. If you are not on time for class, you will definitely miss out on some bonuses! She basically tells you what you need to do in order to pass her class. I love her!!!
Cool group project, easy enough quizzes done online. Just make sure you keep up with the chapter readings and attend.
Professor Browne is a really good teacher. I enjoyed her class a lot. The thing I loved about her the most was the fact that a few weeks before a test, she posts a study guide of EVERYTHING you will need to know on your test. With that, there is no excuse not to pass!
Professor Browne is one of the coolest professors Ive had. Real chill. Theres 4 exams, a quiz on canvas for every chapter but only 10 questions untimed. Do the reading and youll pass easily. Theres also 4 papers but only 2 pages. Attendance is mandatory but its a cool class so going isnt a hassle.
Professor Browne is amazing! Ive taken her for Intro to SOC and Sex and Gender in the US. She gives online quizzes based on reading and you can find all the answers in the book. Only a few papers as homework and gives a study guide that, if you use, should get you an A on every test. She is very kind and doesnt overly insert her own opinion.
This was by far the best professor Ive had! The lessons she teaches are very interesting and she makes it as interesting as she can. There are 4 tests and online chapter reading quizzes . There is a group researche paper. I would strongly recommend! Never a dull moment in that class.
Best teacher I've had at crc and I've been here for many years . She loves teaching and it is easily seen through her interesting lectures and talks. As long as you study her study guides and quizzes the test are easy . She is really straight to the point and consistent on grading your work which was my favorite !!!
Professor Brown is a really good professor. Attend class, turn in assignments, and study for exams and youll pass.
Professor Browne is very chill and laid back. We had online quizzes that are really easy and it is open book! Her quizzes are not timed unless you don't participate in class and don't read the book then she will make timed quizzes. She gives out study guides for exams and she tells you exactly what will be on them. Overall I enjoyed her class!
One of the best professors taken yet. She gives very clear information about the chapters and the study guides are the exams. Quizzes and tests are easy and untimed. Recommended professor and class to take!!
A great professor. One of the reasons I am switching my major to sociology.
Her class not that hard, she don't give home work, she coo
Professor Browne is great. Despite the obstacles she faced, she still was genuine and caring. There is online quizzes, application journals due at the end of the semester based on lectures, guest speakers and chapter readings worth 120 points, and a final group project that you can choose your group. CHOOSE WISELY!
Donald Trump is president, California is on fire and men can marry men; if there was a good time to teach young impressionable adults about sociology, it would be now. Professor Browne does an amazing job of teaching sociology from an impossibly difficult unbiased perspective and keeps class interesting. 10 / 10, would take again.
This was my first college semester. I personally would give this Prof. and the class it's self an average rating. Unless you really like Sociology I don't suggest you take the class. It can get boring at times.
Professor Browne is by far one of the best professors Ive ever had a class with. Not only did she teach in a way that was really easy to understand but she does her best so you can get a good grade in class. No hw, just online quizzes which are only 10 questions and are straight from the book. Study guides are given for exams! Shes so nice!
She offers extra credit after or before some exams.
She has a great personality. Her way of teaching is incredible and she offers extra credit if you slack a little bit.
This professor creates a open space for true unpacking of what we have been conditioned to think and does a great job at being empathetic and willing to help you as long as you put forth genuine effort. She genuinely cares about you, especially the more you engage, you arent just another number or code in her class, and it does show. Take her ASAP
Awesome teacher! I would take this class again.
Professor Browne is a social teacher and is a great choice for SOC300. Very friendly and she makes sure her students has the powerpoints on canvas which is very helpful. -Josmich
Professor Browne's ways of teaching were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend taking her class. Not only did she provide great information during her lectures but she also gave students a reasonable amount of extra credit assignments to bring up or secure their grade!
Professor Brownes lectures were very informative. She loves to interact with the students. Loves it when students have their own opinions on the subjects she teaches. She does everything in her power to see you succeed in her class. I do recommend her.
She's awesome! I loved her SOC321 class. We had tests, but they're not difficult. You just have to study. We also had a group project, not that bad, either.
Prof Browne is fantastic. She makes the class fun and respects her students opinions and shared life experiences. There is weekly chapter reading and open book quizzes on Canvas. She provides a study guide for all three exams and plenty of extra credit. She's a fare grader and as long as you communicate any concern, she'll help. Take her class!
She's a great professor who wants to see her students succeed, she gives you untimed open book quizzes and study guides with that have pretty much all the answers to her exams. And there are a fair amount of extra credit opportunities which help. Would highly recommend her.
By far, this has been my absolute favorite Sociology class. Professor Browne is a teacher that actually loves teaching and has genuine passion for the subject, and as a student, I really appreciate that. Her style of teaching is something I wish every teacher can acquire and made the class 100 times better. 10/10 would take her again if I could!
Professor Browne is an amazing teacher! She offers so much extra credit throughout the semester i would highly recommend taking advantage of it! Make sure you do your quizzes and read the chapters before coming to the next class meeting!
My first professor that I ever had since it was my first actual college class. Great experience, wonderful environment, and we had playful banter here and there, but I would take this subject again! Very informative and useful in dealing with situations especially with minorities.
Professor Browne was Amazing. Really recommend taking her classes.
Shes great I would definitely take her again. Shes very clear as to what is expected. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities. You learn a lot from the class and its very interesting. Basically if you dont get a minimum of a B in this class, youre just being lazy. She will set you up for success.
She was really forgiving in turning in assignments. She gives very specific instructions and is very willing to clarify any misconceptions.
I love how she teaches. My English isn't that strong but still B. In this class, there are weekly reading quizzes, group presentations, and extra credit. love her lecture very clear. and I took the second time with her.
Great teacher, really sweet and understanding
Very thorough professor, she explains what you need to do in order to pass the class. What you read in the textbook helps you pass your weekly quizzes with extreme ease. Her exams are also easy if you study what's on her study guides. Overall, would recommend you take this class.
Theres a textbook but you don't need it. Open note quiz every week- answers can be found on quizlet. 4 worksheets, 20 points each. There were a couple of extra credit opportunities. 3 absences allowed but professor is very understanding. Attendance is graded. you can miss about 73 points to get an A. No cumulative final. Only 3 exams.
Amazing professor. Super kind and lectures are engaging. There are quizzes every week but they are open-note. As long as you study her study guides, you can easily pass the test.
Professor Brown was my first college professor. She was great. Her lectures were interesting. Her grading fair. She may have ruined me for other professors.
Honestly, the class was very fun and informative. I didn't expect to actually enjoy this class, so it was a pleasant and welcomed surprise. The class didn't feel overwhelming at all and was rather easy to keep up with as long as you keep up to date with the modules. Great professor!
Professor Browne was great! Thoroughly enjoyed SOC 300 with her even though it was an online course. She has a great sense of humor that kept her lectures interesting and fun.
She is the BLUEPRINT for how teachers should teach online. Clear grading scale. Clear expectations. Her lectures cover everything from the textbook. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an easy, laid back teacher who will teach you content. I learned a lot from her class and she made it easy to do that. Take the class!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the class in no small part to Professor Browne. The subject matter was enlightening and intriguing. Lastly, you would have to work extremely hard not to pass this class. So, just show up and engage and you will do well.
Professor Browne is super nice and caring! Before an exam she gives study guides which are super helpful and I recommend you do them. She also gives an extra credit opportunity towards the end of the course and take advantage of it!
Took this online, class was not mandatory, but you did have deadlines to complete discussion boards and quizzes. Power Point Lectures were thorough, long, and need to take notes. Need to read the text book for quizzes and exams. Provides exam study guides and gives you resources to be successful. Do the work, study, and participate, you will pass
rlly nice and sweet
She is AMAZING! TAKE HER! If you read the book, it can be a bit heavy but her lecture videos covers every corner of the book. She is hilarious, allows 2 extra credit work and focuses on discussions too. Her quizzes are pretty easy. Exams have unseen questions which is GOOD! Makes us study harder! Loved her!
The class was not that hard as long as you read from the textbook and submit all the discussion boards. Class consists of 2 discussions a week and one open book open note quiz. There were 3 exams (also open book/note) which prof. provided a great study guide for. Overall, professor was understanding and a fair grader.
Easy quizzes, tests were challenging a bit but overall straightforward. Informational lectures, all recorded. She reaches out a lot and is always nice in her emails. Explains everything perfectly. Final project was fun and easy. You should take her, she's an awesome professor.
Professor Browne is an excellent teacher; her video lectures cover the chapters of the book well. I learned a lot from the class, and the chapters are important and useful in people's lives. To get an A, do not skip video lectures, read chapters, participate on all discussion boards. Cover everything on the study guide.
Best Professor I have ever had. She assignments a fair amount of work that you will benefit from. Mostly 2 discussions every week and a quiz. Great lecture videos but make sure you watch them. They are vital for exams.
My favorite professor ever! Three years at CRC and she is my favorite professor by far. She responds to emails and answers questions thoroughly, if you have any that is. She gives really great directions for work so it's hard to not understand something. I loved her class so much that I already signed up for another soc class taught by her.
Professor Browne made the whole class very easy. Give yourself a week or two to figure out your schedule and it should be good from there. Discussion board topics make it easy to interact with other students. Prof Browne also creates a study guide for each exam that is very helpful and gives feedback to insure you have the write info.
the pre-recorded lectures are clear and you can find the book online for free.
Professor Brown has been great and always made me feel like I can reach out to her if I need to. She is very specific about what is expected of you and creates super helpful study guides for each exam. The class is pretty easy to follow and pass as long as you keep up with reading the chapters. I would definitely take her class again!
Professor Browne is a great professor. Her lectures pretty much cover the entire chapter of the textbook, so you wont miss any information. She doesnt make the lectures boring at all, I took the class online and she made them pretty interesting and funny. In terms of textbooks, only one is required. I highly recommend her if you take SOC 300.
Super straightforward, easy class. Two discussions a week with two replies for each. Weekly 10 question quiz with all the answers coming from the textbook. Her lectures cover everything in the book so you really don't need to read. Final project is also very simple. STUDY GUIDES LIST THE FREE RESPONSE QUESTIONS FOR EXAMS. It'll be hard to fail.
You get the grade you want! The teacher and class is fairly easy.
Professor Browne is amazing!!! Shes super nice and caring about her students. Really wants you to learn and her video lectures are very informative. Not a lot of work. Just a discussion or two every week with a quiz. Then 4 exams that are not that hard at all if you use her study guide and do the write in questions early and 5 1 page essays in end
highly recommend, its an easy pass class. She gives you a studyguide for exams and its exactly what is on the exam. No cumulative final, just a third exam.
I've taking Professor Browne online course for Soc 310 class this Fall semester. It was a very interesting and fun class to take. All Professor Browne's video lectures are very fun and interesting to learn. You won't regret taking the course at all. You'll definitely enjoy her class !
I took Prof. Browne for SOC 310 online (asynchronous). Assignments were assigned weekly & consisted of readings, lecture videos, discussion posts and quiz. Pretty easy & study guides for tests are optional but basically give you a preview of the test (HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING IT). Final at the end was not cumulative. Interesting class & pretty easy.
Very knowledgeable professor east class
I LOVE professor Browne. Because of her, I am now a Sociology major! I learned so much from her class. I am taking another one of her courses next semester. She cares about her students. Her assignments were not that hard too. Make sure you read her emails too. She gives out study guides that will 100% help you with the exams. Take this professor!!
Professor Browne was amazing! She is very caring & understanding, understanding when you go to her asking for extra time on an assignment. Her lectures are amazing, she gives you multiple examples, and is VERY accessible outside of class for any questions. The exam questions match the study guides which are very helpful!I would absolutely recommend
She makes class fun and simple to understand. I recommend taking her classes.
Professor Browne is one of the best teachers here at CRC, if not the best. Marriage and the Family is essentially another Psychology class, with a discussion and quiz (10 questions) every week. Her tests are really easy, as she gives a study guide which is EXCATLY like the test. She lets you use the study guide on the test! Awesome teacher!
Professor Browne is a great professor, can be a class with lots of work but in the end it is worth it. Recommend taking her if you're being introduced to the field of Sociology. Be prepared to read, weekly discussion and quizzes.
Professor Browne was great, she communicates with you and helps you any way she can. Definitely take this class for SOC 301.
The Professor is funny, caring,& wants you to pass! But don't think it's a free ticket to an easy A. ANSWER EXAM OUTLINES PRIOR TO EXAM, take notes from the book & print her lectures from her PowerPoint & you should get a good grade on Exams. Discussion quest. matter so don't miss them they hold a high percentage of your grade just like your Exams.
She was a great Professor to have. I am a busy mom. Professor Browne was fair, available, and truly wants her students to learn and succeed. She finds ways to help you access resources whether its offering the first chapter of the book online for free while you wait for your book, or giving study guides. I would take her again!
Professor has interesting lecture videos. 2 Discussion posts a week with a quiz and about 3 exams throughout the semester. Application journals come up on you quickly do them through the semester don't wait till the end of the semester.
Professor Browne makes her classes interesting and keeps the participation assignments simple. Reviewing lessons is enough to study for tests too for me personally.
Professor Browne gives fast response to email. She lets you do open book and no time on the quizzes to take as much time you need. She give study guides for the exams.
Professor Browne is an amazing teacher. Her lectures are engaging and frequently hilarious, and she goes above and beyond to ensure that if you pay attention, you will pass the tests. Fair warnings: DO NOT FORSAKE THE APPLICATION JOURNAL, and RENT AN EBOOK VERSION OF THE TEXTBOOK. You will thank me later. I look forward to learning from her again.
I really enjoyed this class and how reflecting it was. Stay on top of your work and read the textbook or you will do poorly on the quiz. Professor Browne is very caring, kind, and funny. I recommend this class even if you aren't exactly interested in the topic of marriage and family, it will be eye-opening and helpful in your everyday life.
Professor Browne was great, I'm going to take her again for another Sociology course. Her class was not hard; the quizzes and exams were open book and note. I would recommend her!
An easy and fun class with a good teacher to boot. Times when I considered to drop this class because of having too much work due to having multiples classes but glad I didn't, as I got to know a lot more about humans and their institutions. I was especially interested in the social class in the US as I found what social class my family was in.
Professor Browne is amazing! I took her 6 week Soc 300 class and thoroughly enjoyed it. One huge help is the study guides she offers, so be sure to do those.
. This class was really fast-paced but the information is very easy to understand. She gives you a decent amount of work to do it. Quizzes, discussion boards, and extra credit opportunities as well. There were only 3 tests, each test had around 30-40 multiple choice and 2 short answers.
Clear instructions and I was able to find the textbook pdf online. It was a do it at your own pace type of class which was very helpful because of my schedule. Her exams were easy if you actually followed her advice on going over the study guide and making sure to use the resources provided. Overall I would take another one of her courses again.
She has your best interest at heart, very helpful.
Very responsive.
Professor Browne's class was a pleasure to be in and was such a straightforward yet in-depth introduction into sociology. The workload was very reasonable and her lectures and study guides made the course almost impossible to do bad in. The exams are non-cumulative and she even gives you the short answer questions beforehand. Highly recommend!
Nothing bad to say about Prof. This review is solely on the curriculum.1 00 % truth This curriculum is so woke it's baffling. 80 % curriculum "white shams" racist slurs. 20 % is more sociology related. I put 0 effort into their woke ideology, still got an A. Glad I won't have to waste my $ at the university for this class. woke ideology bigots
Professor Browne is an amazing teacher. Her lectures were funny and thorough and helpful on the quizzes and exams. She gives a study guide for each exam. The book was helpful and interesting. The assignments are easy to do if you don't wait till the last minute. She is very caring and understanding. She does a wonderful job teaching this course.
Great professor, very organized. Easy flow, about 3 assignments a week: watch lectures, quiz, discussion. 3 exams and a final. Gives extra credit.
Look no further! One of the best professors that I have taken. Everything is super clear and the course is a breeze! If you do the study guides, you will be set!
Honestly she is super supportive, and cares about her students
I learned so much in this course, i also had her for SOC341 this same semester. Very clear grading criteria. Discusion boards and quizzes every week. Exams are easy if you do the reading/watch the lectures and utilize the study guide.
Professor Browne is by far one of the best professors I have encountered at CRC. She gives great feedback and the course material is easy to follow along and manageable for the working adult. I have taken two courses with her and have enjoyed them both.
I've taken Professor Browne twice now for SOC310 and SOC321. I regret that I'm done taking my sociology courses because I would like to take her again. There's a quiz and a discussion every week, but if you read the assigned chapters then you're good. She gives you a study guide for the exams, which aren't cumulative and open book.
Oh my God, I cannot even begin to explain how amazing professor Browne is! I have taken her for SOC 301 and I'm currently taking her for SOC 310 and she's the best. She provides study guides that you can use for your exams and they are SUPER helpful. The quizzes are open note and untimed. She cares A LOT about you wants to make sure you succeed.
I really liked how clear her lectures online were. The class has discussion boards and quizzes every week but they were really simple. The quiz is of the textbook, just rent one from chegg or your library. The exams are off the quizzes and the textbook. she gives out a study guide outline for each exam it was easy to fill in and was a time saver.
I love how she does her online lecture ! This is so much better for me as a single mom and being able to sit and do hw when I have time without having to worry about zoom and being able to just watch her lecture videos on my own time ! The best professor!
Professor Browne is great and she is very passionate about what she teaches! I enjoyed most of the lectures and the discussions in the class. 4 exams, class discussions by the end of each chapter, and she responds to emails in a well manner. Exams and quizzes are easy if you read the textbook and take good notes. recommend this class to everyone!
This Professor is so good. She give you every feedback carefully and give you a compliment so make me think that I am good, Will take this professor again.
I took the online Sociology 310 class and it was great. The syllabus outlined everything you needed to know for the class, so there was zero confusion on the students' end. The quizzes are pretty straightforward and the tests are a breeze. I highly suggest using the study guides provided as they are very useful when it comes to your tests.
Very well organized, clear grading, responds promptly, material easy to understand, such a breeze I would totally take again. Read the book, watch the lectures and do the work on time and you will pass.
Good easy to follow along lectures even when I forget to read the weekly chapters. Kind of funny, loved the jokes in the middle of every online exam.
Super organized, clear instruction, overall great and easy to understand class and teacher! She's very responsive and let me know what I missed on the test when I asked (I only missed a few but it was very nice of her to give feedback). Would definitely take her class again!
This is my second class with Professor Browne. Her modules are well-organized and easy to follow. Her lectures are detailed, informative, and can be humorous at times. I enjoyed learning from her. Chance for extra credit at the end. She gives study guides for the exams, if you complete them, exams are a breeze. She's very responsive.
Professor Browne's class is well-organized and engaging. The lectures are informative, and the study guides make exams a breeze. Using unstuck AI for test prep was hugely helpful alongside the textbook.
Professor Browne is an amazing professor. I recommend taking her class. I will be taking another of her class in Spring 2025 because she is that good.
Professor Browne provides exam study guides that make it extremely easy to complete exams in a timely manner. Video lectures help break down the material to make it easier to understand. There are research papers that are not full on essays or research papers. Quizzes are open book and untimed. You have to try to fail to not pass this class
She is very nice and easy to work with. Her lectures are not too terribly long and they are interesting to watch as she has both a good personality and sense of humor. The class work is also chill and easy going.
I absolutely love Professor Browne and could not recommend her more! Her expectations and directions for assignments are always stated very clearly. She gives plenty of opportunities to bring your grades up as well as offering extra credit assignments. As long as you stay on top of the work given, you can pass with flying colors.
Professor Browne is such a wonderful professor! Her lectures have a ton of content, but she gives examples that are relatable making the content super simple to understand. I definitely recommend skimming the text for key ideas and points. Do her study guides! They are so helpful! Weekly discussions and quizzes are assigned. Extra credit offered!
I highly recommend Professor Browne! Her syllabus, lectures and homework were very well-organized, grading criteria was easy to understand, and offered extra credit. She gives friendly reminders but you have to read and do the work in order to pass her class. Quizzes & exams are straight forward coming from the book & lectures.
The class was pretty easy! The only reason I got a B because I had personal stuff going on so I missed some of the assignments. She offers extra credit. Reading, Weekly quizzes and discussions, those are easy and simple. Her exams came with study guides which is helpful. She is nice and understanding, Overall a great professor and course!
Professor Browne is a phenomenal professor and really cares for her students individually. Browne handles her students assignments and grades very fairly. Is very on top of announcements and heads up with those assignment reminders. I would highly recommend taking this professor and also curves her students grades!
Professor Browne was amazing at getting back to students, she always stayed on top of sending out reminders for assignments that are due. She also had reasonable amount of HW due every week (about 2-3 assignments weekly), she also offered to look through your study guide before doing any exams so you can get the best score possible!
One of the best professors by far that I have taken! Every week there is discussion BUT they are really easy to answer in my opinion (you get two options to answer), there are quizzes but those are also really easy. For exams she gives you a study guide and I would def say do those because the answers are there!!
Professor Browne's teaching style was very sustaining. Her lectures were enthusiastic, and she helped keep me motivated all through the semester. If you need encouragement, Professor Browne is the teacher for you. She is also very diligent, and I can tell she cares about her students.
She was pretty awesome, and her class was very fun
Professor Rachael Browne is a really good professor. She gives great feedback on every assignment and stays involved, even in an online class. She made sure to connect with us and kept us updated through announcements. The exams were a little tough, but other than that, she's a caring and supportive professor.
easy class. professor was passive aggressive and weird.
A professor that shows a dedication to the subject with the ability to still remain as humanistic as possible. The class was a great learning experience. Teaches you the principles, how to apply them, and encourages you to think innovatively.
Very easy professor. Amazing lectures.
Easy to reach and an understanding Professor. Know how to use Microsoft word. Very simple and lenient with discussion initial posting due dates.
