Teacher is very nice and very serious about teaching Sociology. She gives you the straight facts. She has everything on the overhead and posts most of her lectures on power points on Angel. All you have to do is a "journal" entry every week that applies to the chapter. The midterm and Final aren't easy but she does give you study guides.

She is a very dedicated teacher. I really enjoyed her class and would take another class with her. She knows the material extremely well. The exams are short answer/essay so you have to study to do well, but she gives a study guide so there are no surprises.

Dr. H is the best teacher. Thouroughly enjoyed her class. The tests are challenging but doable. I learned so much in her class, which made the studying worth it.

I loved this class. The class is challenging because of the exams, but I learned so much. The weekly journal is easy to do and better than having to write a paper. Dr. H. is a great professor.

Dr. Hagewen is an awesome teacher. Very knowledgeable and gave a lot of credits. I enjoyed her class and learned a lot.

This is by far the best professor I've had so far. She knows the material very well and presents it in such a way that it's hard not to get into it yourself. I would take her class again any day.

This is my favorite class this semester. Dr. Hagewen is a great teacher. I have learned so much. Her exams are hard but straightforward.

I have really enjoyed this class. I would take another class with Dr. Hagewen.

This is a really good class. I learned a lot. Dr. Hagewen gives a good amount of extra credit. The exams are straightforward

I enjoyed this class so much. I learned a lot and Dr. Hagewen is very knowledgeable. The tests are not hard if you study but make sure to take good notes.

Dr. Hagewen is a great instructor! She is very passionate and knowledgeable concerning sociology. She is really helpful and She gives real life examples.

Great class. I'm really enjoying this course. I'm not a sociology major but would take another sociology course from Dr. Hagewen.

This class is great! It is highly interesting, and it is structure so that you learn a lot. Dr. Hagawen is passionate about her subject, and it really shows, especially where she does everything she can to make sure you take something away from the class.

Awesome class. Professor hagewen makes class interesting and is very helpful. I'm not a soc major but would take more soc classes from her if I was.

I am so glad I took Dr. Hagewen's class. I learned so much and I knew nothing about sociology until her class. Two exams the whole semester. No quizzes. The journal assignment is very simple. Only 10. The tests are tough (essay) You get a study guide, so there are no surprises. This was my first ever college class and I got an A.

Really enjoyed this class. The exams are easy if you use the study guides and ask questions. Dr. Hagewen is really helpful if you ask questions. She always got back to me quickly when I was filling out the study guides and had questions. I learned a lot.

I have learned so much in this class. Dr. Hagewen is an excellent instructor. I'm not a sociology major but I am taking away a lot of great stuff!

Very good teacher. Lectures are academic and mind expanding. I found her inspirational.

This was one of my first classes taking when I first enrolled in college. SUCH A AMAZING AND HELPFUL TEACHER, quick email responses!!! she wants all her students to be successful, she made sociology very interesting and in tune with reality. Love her! 4 journal entries a month, reading midterm and final!you will not regret TAKING HER!!!!!! SO SWEET

Lectures are very important bc thats where the exams come from mostly. No final. 3 BIG exams. 8 journals. a 1 on 1, 5-min. presentation. Concepts are hard to explain on your own. You really have to attend class to understand. But Dr. H is a very informational prof. Very smart. explains concepts very clearly.

I love her lectures

Honestly Hagewen is the best professor I've ever had. She has amazing power points that she lectures on in class. They have videos and pictures that make everything easy to understand. No quizzes, couple of tests and 8 really easy journals. Didn't even buy a book. Come to class take notes fill out study guide, guaranteed an A. LOVE HER!!!

Take this class if you actually want to learn. Professor really forces you to learn about sociology rather than passing and you'll learn that quick. Lectures are very interesting and she helps you understand concepts a lot better.

I took a class of her and she is a very very very hard tough grader so I don't take her class.

I got a lot out of this class. If you come to class and pay attention the class is straightforward and easy. Tests are not tough if you study and she holds a study review for exams.

I found Dr. Hagewen to be one of my favorite professors. She teaches sociology extremely well, is approachable, and lets you asks questions if you are stuck on any of the concepts. Do not procrastinate, do the journals, print the power points before showing up to class, and take notes for four of her tests, and you will get a good grade.

awesome class, do not need to purchase book! WHICH IS NIIICE! she is very helpful and clear. just a bit of studying when you fill out study guide. posts power points before class. 10 journals in a semester(easy stuff, just follow format), 3 exams (not hard if study guide is completed) fun and enjoyable, shows videos!

Good class. Dr. Hagewen kept class interesting and cares about students.

I'm not a sociology major but I enjoyed this class. Dr. Hagewen makes class interesting with lots of examples. If you pay attention you will pass.

This class is not for those who don't like to put in time and study she is an amazing lecturer, gives alot of relevant examples to understand the concepts and in addition to that gives you study guides to fill out, which was very helpful for me. One of those class where I'll never forget what I learned here also gives bonus points of her exams

I would say this class isn't so bad considering that you have about 5 assignments in total that you had to do. There were 2 exams, 1 final, a presentation (one on one), and 8 journals. Her exams are hard if you don't study for them (there's no multiple choice). Overall I did learn a lot in this class and I'm glad I took it.

Lectures are easy to understand and she makes it interesting. She is my favorite professor.

Her lectures are really easy to understand. Her tests are all free response, but you don't have to answer all of the terms she gives you. You also don't have to buy a book, because she doesn't require that you read it. It's easy to pass, if you try to pass it.

She really explains all the topics very clearly, and is willing to help you understand. Do not be scared to ask questions because some topics could be misinterpreted for something else. I rarely used the text book, so I suggest to take very detailed notes.

Dr. Hagewen's Sociology 101 Stretch course was the second course that I attended at CSN, during the Fall 2015 semester. She was highly accommodating to my needs because I was a disabled student who needed accommodations. I enjoyed the various videos she showed in class as examples, and I appreciate that she posted her Power Points on Canvas.

Gives extra credit on her exams. Shows interesting or funny videos to make her points on the different sociological concepts. All in all an exceptional teacher. Would be a 5 to most but to me a 5 is someone who impacted me so much as to influence me for the rest of my life.

One of the best professors that I've ever had. (4th year student) She's very passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. As long as you attend class, take notes and participate... You'll get a good grade. Great class. Learned a bunch and had fun.

She always related a topic to current events. Taking notes in your own words really helps to study for her exams.

Lectures are clear. She gives you a study guide and an in class review day for every test. There's a project that you have all semester to complete, but its fairly easy if you just show up and pay attention. She's soo funny and really connects with her students. She treats you almost as if you guys are friends lol, very easy going.

You get graded on 3 exams, a presentation and a journal. The class is back loaded with due dates so make sure you keep caught up on the journal you need to do. Its a lot of material per chapter but they do overlap a lot. Overall, the class will be easy if you stay on top of yourself.

This professor provided the optimal college experience. Not an overly difficult class but a very good teacher clearly focused on the learning of her students. She always looked after what was best for the students. I highly recommend this professor.

More learning than actual assignments, if you understand the concepts youll pass the class easily

Attendance is mandatory. Her lectures are long, so be prepared. You really have to do outside studying to grasp the concepts. The exams are easy if you study. Everyone has the opportunity to get an A but very few will.

Easy class if you study. Only 8 journals and 3 exams.

Dr. Hagwen is so knowledgeable and makes her lectures very thought provoking. Attendance is optional but beware that the concepts are very thorough, so missing a few can really impact your grade. Exams aren't hard, use the Study Guide and you'll do fine. Not the easiest class but not the hardest, if you study here and there.

Dr. Rachel Hagewen is by far an amazing professor who will answer all your questions. She will walk you through a concept if you do not understand. However, If you do not like studying at home I do not recommend you take this class but overall her test is very easy if you study off her study guide which is very identical to her test.

I found this class enjoyable and I learned so much.

Although attendance isn't mandatory, I strongly encourage you to come to the lectures. She explains the material way better than the book and honestly just makes your life easier. The book isn't really needed and the exam reviews are super helpful if you want to pass.

Dr. Hagewen has been so helpful during the semester in answering questions and giving good feedback. She has provided thoughtful exercises to do and shows videos that help me think about the material in different ways.

Due to the covid-19 outbreak, we had to switch to online learning. She has been nothing but helpful and accommodating and she is trying really hard to fit our needs. Her class has been relatively easy, but Ive also learned so much. Shes awesome!

She really cares about her students and provides thought-provoking assignments. I learned a lot. One of my favorite classes.

I Liked that the tests were short answer and essay. This helped me learn better. Dr. Hagewen always made sure we had the necessary resources. I enjoyed her class and wish it didn't have to move to online this semester due to the coronavirus. I would say she is one of my favorite professors at CSN.

She assigns a journal that really helped me better understand sociology. She was always willing to answer questions and ask if we had any questions. It was a fun class and I was disappointed the class had to be moved online.

Even though I'm just taking this class as a requirement, I got a lot out if it. She makes it interesting and gives straightforward and beneficial assignments.

Great class. Straightforward assignments and you can move at your own pace.

Dr. Hagewen is one of my favorite professors at CSN. The expectations are given very clearly. Good feedback.

I enjoyed this class. The assignments were straightforward and I learned a lot from doing them.

I enjoyed this class. Dr. Hagewen gives good feedback and is caring. She wants everyone to do well.

Dr. Hagewen is really helpful and her teaching style is unique. She gives real life examples. She is very passionate and knowledgeable concerning sociology.

Professor Hagewen is a great choice for a SOC teacher! She teaches everything well and is overly generous with her grading, however the only problem is that she gives off so much information in her lectures with little time to process it. She needed to give little breaks or more group projects to hammer it home. Plus, she is rather uncharismatic,

Professor Hagewen gives a lot of examples to clarify concepts and most classes we broke up into small groups and discussed different topics. She is a quick grader and gives good feedback.

Great class. Dr. Hagewen explains things really well. I enjoyed the in-class activities.

I would take her class again. She engages the students in class and she explains the topics really well. Her assignments are easy and she makes them relevant to the material.

Professor Hagewen is a really good professor! Especially if this is your first semester of college. Make sure to take notes of all the terms on the slides because they help you on the exams. There are 3 exams throughout the semester, and they are online. Easy in class assignments. Overall, really recommend her in person class!

Dr. Hagewen is an awesome professor that cares about her students.She gives extra credit and there is only 2 exams which you can take at home, one journal and one final presentation. Take this class if you want a caring professor and an easy A.

This is the easiest class I ever had in college. Attendance is kind of required as you do activities in class which gives a lot of points in the grade. Exams are all essay-type, where you just have to apply what you have learned in her class, through example. Writing a good essay will even overflow your grades, to the point where I had 105%.

Dr. Hagewen is great. She is very nice and understanding. She is also a quick grader and is good with communication.

Dr. Hagewen is an excellent instructor. The journal assignment was my favorite. Additionally, there were three short answer exams, but if you use the study guides provided, they are not overly difficult.

Great summer class. The assignments for this class were interesting and straightforward. Dr. Hagewen is a quick grader and provided encouraging feedback.

I took her 4-week SOC 101 online course as a CSNHS student in the summer. This was my first ever college class, it was pretty decent. It's very time consuming due to all the writing, but it is a 4-week course so you can't expect any less. There's 3-4 assignments (1-3 big paragraphs each assignment) every week.

She's a very patient and caring person. She was great with feedback and any help that was needed.

Professor Hagewen is smart and kind. If you ask questions she will answer. She is also a quick grader and gives good feedback.

If you show up and pay attention, you will learn a lot from her. She is very helpful and grades things quickly.

I highly recommend her if it's your first semester in college. Make sure to take notes because you will need them to study for the exams and final projects. You will succeed as long as you show up and participate. Also, you will need to memorize a lot of terms and concepts, but as long as you can also make the connections it isn't too difficult.

Professor Hagewen taught the course with high expectations on giving us all insight into the social sciences and did exactly that. Turning in your assignments are necessary so missing assignments or turning in late work will make your grade suffer. But staying on top of everything should be your aim. Loved her feedback as it helped me to improve.

The instructor is helpful and engaging. I'm having issues balancing my job, home, and school, but she made it so that I did not seem like a bother to her when I asked for help.

Dr. Hagewen's class is amazing, she is a great professor! You have two exams and a final project. She gives clear instructions for all assignments. Most of your grade is based on the in-class assignments, so attendence is mandatory. Overall, great class.

Dr. Hagewen prioritizes student learning and wants to help you develop your critical thinking skills. This isn't a class where you're just memorizing concepts. You'll learn how to think critically about social science topics. She connects concepts to real-world issues, which makes the course even more engaging.

I'm enjoying this class. I like the examples used that connect class material to current events and the group work.

I liked that this class was relatable to current events and our personal experiences. There is group work and daily discussions which made the class interactive. I got a lot out of this class.

She is a great professor! Would take again!! No final. Attendance is not required but small grp work is graded ever class for participation (55% of ur grade) Over the course you'll learn multiple concepts which she'll have you write(8)journals (35%) Take notes as you'll need examples. at the end (1)presentation w/ 1 other person (10%) easy class.

She was a great instructor. She was very kind and helpful.

The class was great and I highly recommend it!

The readings are a lot but she gives you plenty of time to get the work done. She also gives feedback for every assignment right away after the due date so you will know your grade and if you lost points she will let you know why so you can fix it next assignment. Book is FREE she uses a FREE online version so need to spend money on it!

I enjoyed Professor Hagewen's class a lot. She was an excellent teacher. She gave good feedback, and I learned a great deal in this course.

Professor is great. lectures are somewhat mandatory, need to go to receive attendance points which are worth approx 10pts. no homework only exams and she gives you an entire week to complete the exam. Excellent teacher, very sweet and understanding of any and all problems students may have.
