alittle wacky but easy, lots of assignments, no papers though!
i left suffolk last year, but shes STILL my favorite college prof!!!
great teacher. Lots of hand outs in MANY colors!!
No Comments
She is a great teacher & so funny. She gives so many helpful handouts in all colors. She will help anyone willing to ask for it. She is tough on you if you give her any bull. She is an easy A if you work for it. She is great & loves cats too. I loved her.
Very nice Lady, very educated and helpful. VERY good teacher, will bend over backwards to help out those students who WANT the help and DO the work required. Extremly fair and lenient, especially with the written examinations!
Prof Sakitt is great! If you want to take a class with a professor who is very interested in her work, take her!
very delightful! if you pay attention and come to class it'll come to you very easy because she explains things very well. definetly try to get her she's amazing and knows her stuff extremely well!
She's ok.The class is hard for me cause I don't understand it and she really doesn't explain things very well, I think.
good teacher class was horrible i hardly leaarned nothing wasnt worth going and i didnt learn nothing
This class is not for the student that just wants to coast through a semester. You must attend this class in order to GET IT! Things are not clear at first then 2 or 3 classes later AND reading the text...it suddenly clicks. Professor Sakitt is a sociologist, so beware..she will pick out the slacker
This class is not for the student that wants an easy A. its not that type of class. You must attend this class in order to understand this class. She is very particular in what she wants with assignments.she will pick out the slacker
Professor Sakitt is a wonderful lady. She is extremely smart. I REALLY enjoyed her class. She was very helpful. Do the work required and you will have no problem. There are no surprises in the tests because she gives a study guide. If you fail is definitely because you are lazy.
She pyschotic!!!!!!!
This teacher really is great. Extremely nice. As long as you try she will be happy.
Not a clas for somone looking to skate. If you are willing to work she is a very fair grader. Interesting subject matter.
Alot of work in this class. Exam review is limited and you are unsure of what you need to know exactly for the tests. She is very knowledgeable but can get confusing sometimes. She loves what she does.You don't have an opportunity to master an area if so much crap is thrown at you at one time.
Worst Class... DO NOT take HER!!!! SHe is so unplesant and unhelpful! Do not waste your time taking her, you will truly regret taking her class!
She is awful! She is crazy! She makes no sense and the exams are ridiculously hard! This was the worst professor ever, and I highly recommend not taking her class! She is obsessed with cats and valium...and doesnt explain anything...makes you feel stupid too...
Definitely one of the worst teachers i've ever had. extremely unclear and seems like she makes some things up as she goes along. also very inconsistent. I definitely wont take her again
ohh be kind. she is a very sweet lady as you get to know her.. She may be a little hard and go off topic a lot, but the class itself is fairly interesting. You get to learn a lot about other peoples culture
very difficult. subject is easy, she makes it hard. not very clear, don't try to ask a question, will make you feel stupid. took class on line, more work than any of my other classes. wouldn't take her agian.
This woman is one of the most knowledgable people around. She is kind of unclear at times but if you ask a question she will love you forever.
This woman is GIFTED definetely on my top 5 favorite suffolk professors. I don't know what these other students are talking about, she is clear and extremely smart in this field. Sociology is NOT easy. Just study the vocabulary words that she gives you, read all the chapters and its very important to do ALL the homeworks. You learn a lot.
she will not share her knowlege. she is unclear and when asked for clarification she belittles the student. If your her favorite your in, if your not LOOK OUT! Fosters hostility omong her students.
She is a very nasty, bitter woman! She goes crazy over typos and belittles you. This is her comment to me "...Is it really difficult to read over your posts before you hit send? A spell checker will not catch woman and women errors - that requires a thinking human being. So please think before you send!" All over using "woman" wrong!
I am now attending SO11 and have found her to be a witty, intelligent prof.(with a few hangups about spelling). I've gained interest in SO11 and have found that doing the work assigned equals a very good grade. Tests are unique, like the prof. and she's very fair,saying she's bitter and nasty is NOT true...I guess that student just couldn't cut it!

I'm in SO11 now,my interest has grown (b/c Sakitt's unique and witty delivery) Saying she's nasty and bitter simply isn't true While spelling is an issue, I find her smart and personable Her tests are original and hard, but reading the material = a good grade. It sounds to me like the last person didn't do so well and is nasty and bitter themself!
I am taking her soc. class. At first I really didnt like her but once you get used to her style of teaching the class gets extremly enjoyable. Its tough in the begining becuase you have to learn all the boring stuff before you get into the interesting topics. Her tests aren't so bad if you elaborate as much as possable. Know Woman from Women.
I took her Sociology online class and I personally think she is a great professor. She is very helpful and is able and willing to answer every and all questions. She gives ample opportunity for extra credit and is willing to let you redo assignments that you may have misunderstood. Great Professor!
Fantastic Professor! You will be missing something if you do not take her. Very knowledgeable. I Looked foward to class. It's amazing how she is able to discuss any topic inluding science spontaniously, and very comfortably too. Benefited immensely from her class. Also gives several extra credit opportunities. Very helpful too.Love her!
What are you people talking about, shes a nasty person. I didnt even meet her in person, and I still cant stand her. Shes rude, unclear and sarcastic. Her So11 is so off-course; and shes so unorganized in her writing. Stay away from her, far away!!!!!!!!!!
Shes the most nasty person i've come in contact with....If you take her class I wont feel bad b/c I warned you....You may not fail but she wont exactly boost your gpa...Shes a morbid person and shouldnt be allowed to teach....She talks to you like your stupid....meanwhile shes the stupid one...she doesnt know how to explain anything clearly....
I just finished her online course and it was extremely easy. It depends on online discussions and the occasional paper. She's always available for help and although she's anal about spelling, all you need to do is use a spellchecker for an online course. I highly recommend her.
The best part of the course is the book project. You will gain a great deal of insight on issues of social problems. She is a stickler for spelling (as it should be) but you are allowed your opinion and she is fair with that. The course can be a bit political but it was interesting. No tests, some writing assignments.
Great Teacher, Took this class online as long as you partake in the discussions you will do great. Put Anthropological resources in your essays and you will do fine. I was taking 15 credits and swamped with work and I got an A. Good very organized class. I enjoyed it.
Professor Sakitt was extremely patient and helpful during the semester. She is very prompt in answering questions, and adds her own insight to the course material. Great Job!
After reading some of the assessments, I had to add a comment. Professor Sakitt goes out of her way to ensure that you understand the material, with numerous printouts. There is no ambiguity in her coursework. Those that did poorly missed out on a great opportunity to learn from a very insightful instructor. Great Job!
Professor Sakitt gave a lot of thinking work, and her tests were always very challenging. However, she went out of her way to help me do well time and time again. She will communicate through email and has open office hours if you need clarification on any topic. The class is a bit tricky but with the right effort, you'll do well.
really bad teacher. Shes Not clear on anything and deff has favorites. It is an easy A but shes just a horrible teacher. IF you can pick another teacher because she will iritate you as much as she did me
This is the second course I've taken with Professor Sakitt. She truly is a wonderful educator. If you need help, she will go out of her way to explain herself better, and make the information clear to you. All you need to do is take lots of notes and you'll ace her open textbook and notes tests with flying colors.
Excellent Professor who gets involved and actually teaches. Quick on grading.
When i took her class, she seems very interesting. She knows a lot but is very arrogant. She may be fun but, I found her to be judgment and extremely not clear during her lessons. However, if you manage to take good notes and talk to her after class, you will pass her class with little to some difficulty. Not the worse choice for a teacher.
did not like her at all... i took her online course. i registered late and she sent out a memo to students opening the class a week early. i didnt not receive it due to registering late and she would not give me the chance to catch up. very rude with her emails and didnt seem interested in helping me catch up at all. def recommend another professor
She is rude, inconsiderate, sarcastic, and an extremely nasty nasty person even when you're respectful and did nothing wrong. She has no business being a teacher. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.
I think Prof Sakitt is a horrible teacher. She is very unclear, she definatly talks to you like your stupid and you cant ask her anything without her making some kind of comment. Shes unclear about all the information. Take her as a teacher you can bet on teaching your self everything. She also thinks shes a riot, shes not funny at all.
Funny and personable.
Best online class Ihave ever taken. She is great, invovled, and fair. If you do the work, easy A. For those who says she is not a good teacher: idiots.
Easy A if you do all your work and extra credit. Good class. I see what people are talking about but don't take it personally if she seems insulting.
she can be rude at times.. must attend to every class.. three open textbook exams but they are not easy..do the homework, it rly helps you to do well on the exams. and particapte! it boots up your grades. not an easy class.but if you do what you are supposed to do then you can get an easy A. goodluck!
do not take her! worst professor i ever had, not only does she not make any sense at all but she is extremely rude. she will interrupt you in the middle of a sentence when you answer a question. very difficult open book tests and her hw is very hard. do not take her if you dont want to end up with a headache after every class!
all she does is talk, and expects yu to know how to answer her complex questions on her tests, that she does not review for
not that bad if your looking for an Easy A dont take this class. if you want a challenge take her. every answer is right as long as you can back it up. be prepared to back it up always.
One of the most terrible professors I've ever had. Took her class as an online class and her grading isn't clear at all. When you read up her grading policy and assignments it seems reasonable until you turn in an assignment and loose points for something on an assignment that she didn't previously take points off for on prior assignments.
Prof Sakitt is awesome. I really don't understand the bad reviews unless they are from students that don't like to do work. She had open book tests for crying out loud! Just come to class, take good notes and do the HW. The material is interesting and Sakitt knows what she's talking about. She even gives out candy sometimes. Great professor.
No multiple choice, all critical thinking but best class ive taken yet.Shes mad smart!
Warning- DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. I took her for SOC 101, and she was terrible. Her open textbook exams are ridiculous, even if you study and are copying things word for word from the book; Haven't passed one of her tests yet and I had a 3.6 average last semester. You have to do 4 papers, 3 Concept Apps, and 3 tests - Take this if you have no life.
Easy class if you pay attention. Teacher comes off hard but is actually really nice and funny. Tests are a little challenging. No homework, only three essays and three tests. Listen to her instructions carefully! Dont quote the book and you'll do fine!
I took her online class for ANT 101 and she made it very interesting! This was my first online class and I got an A! and she made her assignments very clear. 10 Discussion Interactivities (which are fun) and 5 written activities but if you do very well you are exempt from the last written activity. Highly reccomend taking her!
She is a very nice lady and offers a lot of help through email and office hours. Her lectures are fun and she makes the topics interesting, 3 tests and 3 essays the exams are a bit challenging although they are open book she really makes you think, she is brilliant and knows a lot about what she is talking about
I took Prof.Sakitt's SOC class my first semester and I got an A. She is very helpful,if u fail her exams mayb ure nt ready fo college. U have 3 concept papers & also have 3 essays to write, she gives u the info to read& write abt. DO these papers they help with ur final grades. She will allow extra time to complete if you explain ur situation. :)
Well folks this is a college course but if you SHOW UP, DO THE ASSIGNMENTS, and PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS youll do great she is extremely well learned in this field and has a great deal of knowledge to share if you are willing to take it highly recommended and enjoyed
She is not a bad professor. Her homework assignments are pretty tricky. You not only have to read the book to get the answers but you have to use outside knowledge to get a good grade. Some of her lectures are more interesting than others. You will get a lot in the class if you are a Sociology Major.
she is the horrible professor i ever had. she don't have any test but we have to do 8 assignment.i did the all assignment on time and i try my best.she give me 3.5 out of 10 is the topest one.Her assignment questions are really hard.i ask her to explain question but that didn't help at all..don't take her class.
Terrible professor.
Do not take her class.
Professor Sakitt has got to be the worst professor I have ever had. She acted like we were doctorate level sociology students when she graded our papers. If someone had a question, she would never answer it straight. She grades so roughly it's honestly unbelievable. DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HER!
She is the worst teacher and she be kicked out.
Shes a nice person, but a bad teacher. If you want to succeed do not take her class.
This teacher failed to take into consideration students thoughts and does not answer questions. She is very unhelpful and I would not recommend anyone talk her class.
Not sure what to say, but my grade does not reflect my work nor my attendance. My grade was way to low for my work and effort. She is a dinosaur in this field. She needs to retire. This class is not anatomy its intro to sociology. Give us a break lady. Time for a change Professor. Worst teacher I have ever had.
all I can say is I am in shock by my grade. She might have been a good teacher in her day, but not anymore. She didn't teach us. We had to teach ourselves. Test book tests? Really? Didn't ask questions. Not very helpful. This class is a but. Do not take it. Go to a different school. The need to evaluate their teachers more carefully.
She was the worst. Terrible communication skills, teaching skills and showed lack of interest. Highly recommend finding a better for this course.
For a teacher with all her years of experience she sure has failed me as a student. I do not recommend her. Do not take this class. You are wasting your time.
Was very interested in this class before it started. Now I am so sorry I took it with Rita Sakitt. She is the worse teacher. Disinterested in her students and their concerns. Make sure to skip this so called teacher
I was so excited to take this class and after a few days and now my grades I am appalled. She has to be the worst teacher in the history or teachers. Our grades reflect the teacher especially when everyone worked so hard. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.
They need to replace her. Awful teacher.
She made my GPA drop so low by her poor grade. Just amazing what power someone has over your life and career. They need to have stricter rules in college. She needs to be tested and they will see that she needs to be removed from teaching.
She rates us on performance? An outrage. Worst teacher in my life. Doesn't answer questions. Her teaching tools are outdated. Don't take her class. She thinks shes god.
Awful teacher. The worst grade of my life from the worst teacher of my life.
Do not take her! Worst professor I ever had. Not only does she not make any sense at all but she is extremely rude. She interrupts you in the middle of a sentence when you answer a question because she has no clue what the answer is. Very difficult open book tests. You are on your own with her as a teacher and will probably fail.
Warning this teacher is awful. Does not teach very well. Seems to think she is always right even when proven wrong.
Worst teacher ever. Incredibly rude. Wont answer questions, because she obviously does not know the answers. Only nice when she wants you to fill out the questionnaire about rating her performance. Dont take her class. You will be set up for failure.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
She is a bit intimidating at first, but there is hardly any work given in this class. There are 6 online assignments, and you get about 1 every two weeks. There are NO TESTS! She does give something called "snap quizzes," fairly simple if you read. Overall, participate in class and pay attention during lecture and you will not have a problem.
Not sure why Professor Sakitt didn't get such great ratings on this site. I was pregnant during my semester with her, and was in danger of failing. As long as I asked for the help, she was there every step of the way. She was extremely kind and understanding and above all, reasonable. I would definitely take a class with her again. Your the best!
Amazing Professor. Amazing class. I highly recommend.
Did not enjoy this class. She is looking for specific verse or should i say her verse. I would never take another ANT class she has completely turned me off to human kind. She is critical and judgmental of your work and your thought process. Not sure what or how a student is suppose to pass this course with her as Professor. Check out mentally.
Ill just give a few things to pass: 1) be there for every class, even tho its borin but dun lose attendance points.. 2) do each and every extra credit, she gives tons 3) do OK on da quizzes (get atleast more than half rite) 4) get atleast 912 points for each written assignment ... if u do this u will get an A, trust me
worst professor i ever have.
6+ writing assignments. Tons of pop quizzes. A lot of extra credit. Calls on people who don't have their hand raised & hounds them when they don't know the answer. Textbook necessary to pass pop quizzes. Never made any sense and didn't teach what was in the textbook or what we needed to learn to do the writing assignments. Never ever taking again.
Prof. Sakitt will help you if you ask, and while she can be somewhat tough at times, I liked her class. As long as you follow along with the reading, you'll do just fine. The reading is fairly interesting, and she usually has interesting things to talk about in lecture. Overall, I would say she is a good professor. Reading and participating matters
The class may be boring but she makes the lectures interesting. Reading is a must to pass the quizzes. everything is straight forward. She is so sweet and will help you if you have questions. recommend to do her extra credits.
A majority of students in my class signed a petition listing grievances. Ultimately nothing was done., the chair notified and useless. Mrs. Sakitt is past her prime in a big way. Unprofessional at best. I passed but a poor experience. Try someone else - anyone else.
The one thing I like, she didn't give test, but she was so confusing! She would have us read a chapter and talk about something completely different in class. Very all over the place and always rambled off subject.
I had this professor about 2 & 1/2 years ago in my freshman or sophomore year. I have to say the class itself is somewhat boring but, she does make it interesting. She is a bit old and has a very sarcastic sense of humor. She makes you think outside the box and if she picks on you in class, don't take it personal. Be prepared to read and write!
She will fail you if you missed one class. She is very boring, nothing interesting unless you need to take the class or want too.
Professor Sakitt is ine of the kindest people i've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She went sooo far above and beyond to help me, when i was going through a peraonal crisis. I consider her to be a "friend" as well as an instructor. Be good to her, and she will be good to you. Highly recomend!
She is a very smart woman, very well educated and knows a lot about the subject. you need to do a lot of reading and writing but its worth it. You will get an A if you put an effort and do hard work . I would recommend it if you really want to learn.
She may come across as nice and sweet. However she is strict and not interesting. I spent all week finishing an essay and got a 7/10 the main reason I lost 3 points was because it didn't mention "tool"! She said that all the information was on the website. It's not like her lecture are eduacational anyways, another professor that goes off topic!
Shoots down student ideas and is a BIG fan of randomly calling on students so if you're shy, dont think you can hide in the back. Doesnt give students enough time to think about the difficult question she asks and puts you on the spot often making you look like a fool. No tests but essays assigned throughout semester which she grades very harshly
If you need a flexible online class this isn't for you. She wants things done on a certain date at a certain time. So if you work like most students who take online classes do this will be hard and she doesn't care. She wants things done her way. The work isn't horrible but her rules are. I would not recommend taking this at all!
Ugh. Boring lectures that you'll zone out in. She ask you questions by surprise and put you on the spot, if you can't come up with a proper response then your in deeper trouble. Grades are based on attendance, participation, and essays. Essays are the big grades, however all the information you need to know isn't explained in class at all.
I personally loved my experience with prof sakitt. Such a sweet lady, her lectures are very interesting. She takes cell phone use very offensive but who wouldent.. its rude essays were a bit difficult, but overall loved her class. Deff recommend
I wouldn't recommend her. Very strict and boring lectures
she is definitely intelligent and I did learn from this class, but to be completely honest she is so dramatic and rude! If you get a question wrong she WILL make you look like an idiot. Maybe I am bias about the papers because I'm not the best at them, but they are SO confusing and if you don't get it you will definitely get a bad grade on them.
Such a difficult professor. You must post a response within 24 hours or she takes points off of discussion interactivities. Boring discussions. I would be mindful of the heavy workload of the coarse prior to taking. If you have a busy schedule I would recommend a different coarse. She is not very understanding with her her online students.
I took an online course with her and she is a great teacher. Yes you have to read a lot. We are in college. Great teacher
Terrrible professor. Essay due every week boring lectures
Class based off of essays, strict with phones, gives a lot of extra credit
I took her for online course. She's big on participation and you will pass. A couple of papers but not difficult at all.
I really enjoyed this class. She is amazing at getting back to you in a good time frame. Very helpful. Just participate and read your stuff you will be fine.
Amazing professor! Very detailed and knowledgeable. Assignments due every week and you basically read the entire textbook but the class is very interesting. She grades fair and gives good feedback; I received extra points on almost all the assignments I handed in. A week before the final assignment she emailed me and said I was getting an A.
Lectures for entire time block, 6+ essays throughout the semester worth a decent chunk of your grade. Unclear essay instructions, and does not go over them in class. She is accessible outside of class for questions.
Her lectures were boring. No test just 8 essays which are easy. Gives extra credit. She is easy A just do the essays.
The homework instructions are unclear and she will force an answer out of you in class even if you dont know the answer. If youre on your phone she will call you out and kick you out of class. Her lectures are boring. Barely taught sociology just gave examples of things
Shes fair. You have to keep up with work
Lectures are very long and boring. She barely talks about sociology. She will call on you no matter what and force an answer out of you. She does offer extra credit. Written assignments due about every 2-3 weeks. The written assignment instructions were always very confusing and not clear at all. Cellphones and laptops are a big no in class.
Lectures arent engaging or interesting. Shell randomly call on students then force an answer out of them. CANNOT BE ON YOUR PHONE. Assignments arent given clear a criteria. Overall, its a straightforward class but needs to be less boring.
