Alright teacher, shes kind of bland, tries to get conversations started in class, but nobody talks. Shes a basic textbook kind of teacher, but over all she isnt bad.

This class was a really good class, as much as you can expect from an introduction class. Attendence is mandatory but she plays movies that aren't boring at all. 3 tests that aren't hard, basically study text questions and review notes. She has no online notes but just go to class and write down basic notes or outline textbook.

boring lectures and she doesnt give you time to copy the slides. her test are really stright forward easy to get a desent grade.takes attendence likes its her job.dont be late bc she will stop the class until you sit.

Shes really nice, if go and actually speak to her. There is an attendence policy but it helps your grade at the end of the semester. She printed out a 30 page review sheet for me.Its an actual review sheet for the whole semester.

Not sure what people are finding fault with. Just show up to class and do your study guides and you won't have much to worry about.

She's not a bad teacher. Wants you to show up on time. If you're 2 minutes late, she'll watch you walk through the door and wait for you to sit down. Don't be late, take notes, read the book, and you'll do well in this class.

There is no excuse to not get an A in her classes. She passes out a study guide and the tests come directly from the guide. Show up on time, take good notes, and work the study guide and you will enjoy her class.

She can be petty at times, for sure, and have an inflated sense of worth/authority at others. Still, such minor qualms aside, she teaches the material well enough, and simply enough. Her classes shouldn't be too difficult, all things considered.

She breaks things down very well and makes the course easy to learn. Attendance is mandatory with only one excused absence allowed. But there is no reason to get a bad grade in course especially since the tests are based on a 30 page study guide for the whole course she gave us at the beginning of the semester. She also lectures from the book alot.

She knows her stuff. as long as you go to class, listen to her lecturees, take many notes and read the chapters you should be okay. she only gives you 3 tests and attendance that result in your final grade. she doesnt give out much extra credit but does try to help out w/ borderline grades

she is a very clear instructor. she gets upset if you are late, and takes attendance every class. 3 tests per semester. every question on the tests were on her slides in class. if you just highlight the textbook with the info from the slides and reread that 2 times, then you are set for an A in the class.

I found her class to be very difficult. She rushes through the lectures and tries to cram a lot. Attendance is mandatory, she even stops the lecture if someone comes late, and waits for them to sit down to start again. Her tests were kind of hard. However, she does like to here her students opinions, so speak up in her class, you might get 2 pts.

She's a straight forward teacher. Really knows her stuff. 3 tests based directly from text. I would have gotten an A but I missed a few classes. MANDATORY ATTENDANCE!!! Just read the book (or the summaries at the end of each chapter), show up to EVERY class, and be open minded. You'll surely get an A.

Professor is really GREAT. She pretends to be scary at first but dont let her fool you. Attendance mandatory but seriously if you go and take her notes you will never have to read the text. Dont even bother buying it. Tests somewhat difficult but if you study the notes it's literally word for word out of them. Did very well in class. I RECOMMEND IT

This was an easy class. You have to know how to write fast because she goes through the slides fast, but those good notes will help you ace the exams so don't even buy the book. She does take attendance and she HATES when you walk in late. Overall easy class.

Loved her. 2nd class I've taken with her. Goes through the notes fast, but manageable to keep up. Her tests are super easy and straight forward. Just study the terms from your notes and you will get an easy A. Attendance mandatory but lets you out early almost always. Honestly very easy. I recommend taking her!

attendance is mandatory. my section met 3 times a week and after the first absence 2 points were reduced from your total score for every additional class missed. coming late and using electronics isnt guna fly either. overall it was an easy class as long as you take notes in lecture and read the textbooks chapters the night before the exam

Good class for people who like to only take notes. Don't listen to her just copy the notes, you'll get an A. You won't put your pen down the whole class. Iff you study the notes and just do a once over on the online practice tests you'll be fine. Would have an A instead of an A- if I knew that before the first test. She let me reschedule the final.

Her class was interesting but she flew through the notes too fast on her slides. And she doesn't let you use your laptop. Overall an alright teacher and pretty easy class.

She seems intimidating but she's actually really sweet. You're not allowed to use cell phones or computers in class but her discussions in class are very interesting. Attendance mandatory. Don't bother writing notes, highlight in the textbook. Overall a decent class, just read the book and you're good

I struggled in the class a bit because you have to take a lot of notes and study really hard, and having carpal tunnel this didn't work for me. But Overdyke is thorough, enjoys teaching and loves her students, and is very compromising. Makes things interesting - use your book and highlight to make taking notes easier. You DEF need book.

YOU HAVE TO GET ON HER GOOD SIDE. GO TO CLASS AND PARTICIPATE. IF SHE KNOWS YOUR NAME AND YOU SEEM PLEASANT IT WILL HELP YOUR GRADE. DONT BE LATE. I MEAN IT.. DONT BE LATE. THE TEST ARE MEMORIZATION. IF YOU READ AND GO TO CLASS YOU ARE SET.

Don't come more than 0.000021 seconds late. She's not too scared to call you out. And for the tests most of the answers are from the quizzes (that come with answers) in the back of the text book. I found that out after the first test. Couldve gotten an A or A-. Don't be crazy. Practice/read over the quizzes. Good luck. You shouldnt have a problem.

Guys its not that hard to not use you're phone during class. Just don't be late, participate once in a while, and you're good! Shes very bluntly funny and keeps you interested in the topic.

Loved her! Attendance is mandatory and you can't use electronics or she'll kick you out. Do the readings and takes notes in lecture. There are three tests that are very straightforward, she won't try to trick you. Raise your hand and give a meaningful comment and she'll give you two points which is equivalent to one absence. Take this class!

best professor I've ever had, really passionate about the subject. make sure you go to class & take notes, use the textbook to study. overall material is pretty interesting. she's really sweet and pleasant to listen to but has no lateness, no cellphone policy. she wants you to pass and like the subject so make sure to ask for help if you need it.

I really liked her. She was very helpful and informative. Really passionate. Fun class. DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE OR TALK DURING CLASS. But she is a great teacher. Would take another one of her classes if I could

The quicker she gets through the lecture, the faster you get out of class which is a plus. Make sure you get everything out of what shes teaching though. No electronics or talking. I give her a 7.5/8 out of 10 because the lectures aren't bad. If you study the material, you will pass the test.

Dr Overdyke acts tough, but she really just wants you to get something out of the class. People complain about her no electronics policy, but I like it. Classes very full so don't take her if you have a problem being on time. She really knows her stuff. Learned alot. I will take her again.

Attendance is an absolute must. I cannot stress enough to BE ON TIME, but she only holds class for an hour or so. I never got the textbook but I went to every class and paid attention so the tests were pretty easy for me. She gives extra points for participation so speak up. Probably my favorite class I've taken since my fm year. I'd recommend her.

Like the funniest teacher ever. Don't take your phone out or else she'll take it away, but you'll focus better.

Overall I really enjoyed Professor Overdyke. She does state her opinion however its only in context to the information given and usually based off of facts presented in the textbook. Encourages participation DONT USE YOUR PHONE IN CLASS AND DONT SHOW UP LATE! Attendance matters and class is a study session for the test so youll want to show up

She's a great professor, but don't even bother trying to text in class because she WILL kick you out if she sees you on your phone. The class is difficult and you really do need the textbook to do well. It's very lecture-heavy but she is open to discussion when it's relevant. She has a clear love for the material and it makes the class interesting.

Her class relied heavily on the textbook, so definitely get the book and read. And she doesn't upload the slides to blackboard. She has strict rules about not using technology; if she catches you, she might call you out or kick you out. Also, attendance is 10% of the grade while the rest is tests.

It's a good class, but your grade in the class is based on 3 exams, 1 presentation, and mandatory attendance. So if you don't do that well on the exams, you'll receive a low grade in the class

Youre a grown up now go to class take notes I took her for 115 and 342( Soc of Organizations) may be wrong code. She if you go to class you get 10 points automatically on your grade. Just get Bs on the test and youll do fine.

An amazing person. Was my own fault that I had to withdrawal. Very steep grading. 25% for each of three exams, 15% for a final project & 10% for attendance (she takes attendance everyday, but allows one skip). I would take her class again, I would just have a clearer mind to pay attention to my grades before it's too late. Must be aware of grades.

Good teacher. Three tests based on her power points, the last test is based on classmates presentations but she puts the ones she uses on blackboard. No cell phones/laptops. She curves grades at the end of semester. No showing up late or leaving in middle of class. Aloud to miss one class before it starts hurting your grade.

Shes definitely someone you have to warm up to. Shes extremely strict on technology use. She will stop the class just to call out a student and make them leave. Shes good at explaining things and creating a discussion. She can be incredibly intimidating at first, but once you get to know her you see how much she cares for her students.

Her class was fairly easy as long as you keep up with the notes you will be fine. I got to do my final project on Megantheestallion so that was dope. She was also very lenient this fall semester and ended up changing a lot of due dates for tests and even the final.

She has a no technology rule that she's strict about but other than that as long as you go to class and pay attention you will pass the class.

Prof Overdyke makes Sociology interesting. You can tell that she is passionate about what she does, and she makes lectures fun by adding in a few jokes & stories. Grade is calculated by 3 tests, which are fairly simple if you study and pay attention in class, and attendance is mandatory and raises your grade 10%. Tech isn't allowed in class.

She's a great professor, good at creating discussions. The class isn't really hard. Only 3 exams, if you just study the powerpoint and your notes you'll be fine. She's strict on electronics, so stay off the phone or else she'll kick you out. Also, come to class on time. She has the tendency to publicly humiliate you even if your just a minute late

3 exams and they are all multiple-choice questions. Just show up to class because she does take attendance and makes you do reaction statements. As long as you review the PowerPoint, it will be very easy. She is also very easy to talk to.

Beware she is tough with her rules, like electronics, attendance, and etc. However, if you can get past that and if you do the ungraded readings or study the slides well it is an easy A. She is also an amazing lecturer. She grades on a few things so it is risky but I found it to be a blessing, especially with how easy the tests were.

She is strict but the class itself is super easy. Attendance is mandatory and taken every single class! NO HOMEWORK, 3 exams which are straightforward material straight off the slides (posted on blackboard), and 1 final presentation that she prepares you for in class. Literally one of the easiest and least time consuming classes I have ever taken.

This was such an easy class. You just show up and pay attention to the lecture. I just skimmed through the slides before taking the exams and did well. There are 3 tests and they are all mc questions. She is available after class to go over the test so that was good.

Professor Overdyke comes off as harsh but as long as you show up on time and pay attention you will be fine. You only have 3 mc tests and are graded on attendance. You are not allowed any electronics or she will kick you out. You do not have to participate in class, but if you do she sometimes will award a few extra credit points.

The class is basically used as a review for her tests. Your grade is made up by attendance and the tests she gives throughout the semester. If you don't show up to class it heavily affects your grade but if you participate you can earn free absences. She has a very clear no technology in the classroom rule and has a strict lateness policy.

Professor Overdyke is very lecture heavy. No electronics at all or she will call you out and kick you out. She is nice overall, just strict. The course is mostly based off exams. Which sucks because if you slip up on one, it can ruin your grade. Lectures are interesting if a soc major... as long as you attend class and look engaged, you'll be fine!

Amazing professor

She is very passionate about Sociology. Strict no technology rule in class. You are graded on 3 tests only, no homework. No extra credit offered, because there is a class curve at the end.
