So energetic! She made sociology fun. Different teaching style that got me to read more, and she assigns a free textbook! Really likes class participation, so prepare for that.
Amazing teacher. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I took her hybrid course and it was the best decision I made. Do the work and you will pass with flying colors!!!! )
She is AMAZING Very approachable and friendly. She cares for each and every student,and she is very helpful. This class was amazing, because she taught the subject in a very energetic way. You can tell she is passionate about what she is doing. I loved this class and learned so many great things. Thanks Prof. Somo for making my semester great.
She will do everything in her powers to help you succeed. She is hilarious and kind-hearted and if she wasn't my teacher I would want her as my best friend. Her tests are easy and she gives you basically the test before hand. She has great office hours throughout the week, not to mention she gives extra credit just for going to them. A+ Teacher!
Meh. She's okay.
An amazing teacher, and such a great person too. Engaging classes, free textbook, and even sends us reminders on Moodle for every assignment! She's so encouraging and wants us to succeed in her class and in life.
One of the most open-minded teachers you'll meet, her lectures are very well planned, she allows you to retake tests/quizzes should any personal problems arise, you always feel very motivated to come to her class. Extra credit is available until end of semester. Highly recommend for both 101 and 102.
TAKE her! Do not consider any other Sociology professor than her; she is the best at GCC. Young, inspirational, hilarious, caring, clear lectures,and excited to share her knowledge about the world of Sociology, she allows students to look at life in another perspective. As long as you do all the assignments and give your best effort, you will pass!
I love Mr. Kamie but this professor is also the best! I would have loved to have taken sociology 101 with her. She is an amazing teacher! Her class was simple and very informative. She is clear with what she expects and gives students plenty opportunities to raise their grade. She is an excellent professor! Quizzes and Tests are easy if you study!
I loved her. She is amazing, and very inspirational. Her class was one of the best online classes I took. She is very energetic, and she makes her class a very happy and calm place. You wont feel nervous or uneasy in her class. She also cares for her students. I would take her again if she taught other classes. Definitely recommended.
Professor Somo was so awesome, she is young and full of energy. This was one of those classes that you go into totally blind and you leave woke! Her lectures were concise and organized, 3 exams which were incredibly easy, and weekly online reading quizzes. I will definitely be taking another class with her.
Sandy Somo is AH-mazing, not only when it comes to socio, but in every other aspect as well! She is caring and does her best to guarantee the success off ALL her students. Her exams are spelled out in her study guides and gives lots of extra credit. She will teach you in a way you will not know you are learning until you leave her class. 11/10 rate
LOVE HER!!! She's an amazing professor, I really enjoyed her class. She's young but still knows so much about sociology and she's so passionate about it which makes her class even better. I strongly recommend her.
I enjoyed Ms. Somo's class. She is fun and engaging! There were a few times I doubted the accuracy of her information, but overall, she seemed pretty knowledgeable. Easy class if you try at all!
Professor Somo is one of the most caring professor I have ever had. She takes her time with students, emails are literally replied on the day of and sometimes in a span of half an hour. Incredibly understanding, passionate and she makes class fun and engaging. Take her and you'll pass with flying colors. Her study guides are the gateway to an A!
She is sooo nice, vibrant, intelligent, and caring. Some people teach because they can't do anything else, and some people are destined to be an educator and she falls into the latter category. A bit of a slow grader but generous with her grading. Don't regret taking her at all. Really like the detailed feedback she gives on papers too. Thoughtful.
BEST!! Do her assignments show up and you'll pass with an EASY A!!!
Professor Somo is one of the best professors i've ever had! She's very passionate about sociology and she's super kind and understanding and caring. Assignments are super easy and tests are all based on the study guides. Class is not lecture heavy, more discussion-based.
Amazing professor! She is a generous grader and gives tons of extra credit! There's no way you can't pass her class. She really cares about her students and wants all of them to pass.
I love Prof Somo! The sweetest. As long as you do the assignments, you're guaranteed to succeed. No unrealistic expectations and so understanding.
AMAZING!! The sweetest prof ever ! Do all the assignments and quizzes and you will pass. Hint: Use quizzes for part of your exams. Love her ! Easy class Easy A !
I absolutely adore Somo!! She's probably one of the only professors I've had who cares so much for her students and wants them to succeed. Highly recommend taking sociology with her!!
SOMO IS INCREDIBLE. she is so caring and wants all her students to succeed. If you have the chance, TAKE HER CLASS!!! she is so inspring, funny, and a great teacher and friend. She changed my views on so many things!
She is great, but I took her on an 8 week class and it was overwhelming, you have to do a lot of work! But she is amazing, I can't complain at all. And she's beautiful <3
Professor Somo is really sweet and funny. Her assignments get annoying at times but they are helpful when studying for tests
Somo is a great professor who is truly passionate about the material she teaches. She is willing to work with students to help them pass. You literally have to try to not pass! Working in teams does get to be a bit annoying, but other than that the class itself is really informative and active with class participation and discussion.
This class was so fun because her lectures are so interesting and she gets the class really involved. Cant say anything bad about her. Shes excellent.
I have never had a teacher more excited to teach in my life. I had her for Hybrid Sociology (which i recommend 100% over regular class). She talked for a good 4 hours and was still full of energy. Shes funny & overall a good teacher. Your work, quiz's, and final/midterm are online.
This woman is seriously freaking amazing in all ways. She's super attractive and she is a sweetheart. Many things happened to her life and was happening to her friend but she was so positive that we did not find out until the last day of class. EASIEST A EVER! Take her right now! Do not even waste time thinking, right now go TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best professor ever had for a hybrid class and im not a sociology major, her tests are soooooo easy. She understands if u cant make it to the class sessions and wont dock u points. Literally so easy!!
Professor Somo is one of the most amazing professors at GCC. If you want to learn the right way and get the grade you deserve PLEASE TAKE HER!! She is loving, caring, and cares about all her students' success. I wish all professors could learn from her on how to be the most fair and understanding professor. Thank you prof Somo for a great semester.
Really good professor. The class is super easy, so easy A. She grades very leniently on essays, also her tests are not that hard. She gives 20 points extra credit and if you find that a question on the exam was unfair she might give you a point if she agrees. She's compassionate and caring. I definitely recommend taking her for Sociology!!
Sandy Somo's sociology class was my favorite class at Gcc. She is so caring and a wonderful professor overall. I highly recommend taking her for sociology 101 because you wont regret it!
Besutiful!!!!!!
Took her hybrid Sociology 101 during Fall and it was absolutely the best. We met every other Friday for 4 hours because it was a shorter class; she made those four hours feel like 30 minutes. She is very caring & wants her students to succeed. Very accessible outside of class through Canvas & she's a sweetheart.I would for sure take her class again
This professor is a real gem. Please if you can just take her. Very clear lectures and study guide. She is on top of everything very organized. Always sends emails to keep up with upcoming materials. She is the best. I really enjoy her class. The best teacher ever. Take Take Take. Very funny and respected. There should be more teachers like her.
Sandy is one of the best sociology professors teaching at a community college, she is an expert, hilarious, lectures are easy to understand and during class we had group activities. Study guides are very helpful to prepare for the exams, 3 reflective project essays and online IRATS. She also provides a free online textbook! BONUS! Take her class!
Sandy Somo is funny, energetic as by far the best professor I have ever had. If you planning to take one of her class use her study guides. They are very helpful.
shes so funny and friendly. you don't feel that you are in a SOC class. she behaves herself like your friend. shes young and knows what's up. 3reflective projects, 3tests but the last one is the final. good study guide. have quizzes and blogs online but you need to read for blogs. I recommend her I would take her again. the best teacher in GCC.
Ms. Somo is nice, but I didn't like the group work and she seems kind of inexperienced about some topics. I can see why some students like her, but I wouldn't take her again.
Let me just tell you that this Professor is amazing. She is highly organized, great lectures, always on top of her stuff. If you have the chance to take her please do so. Wish there were more Professors like her. Very knowledgable and smart. There are 3 tests one paper and weekly IRATS.
Shes the best! super nice and her lectures are amazing. Do the hw, attend class and youll get an A
You will learn a lot! But, more importantly, she will become your best friend. She is AMAZING!!!!!!
Probably the best professor I have ever had in college. She is so caring and her lectures are amazing! If you need an easy elective class, TAKE HER!!!!
i have taken basically all my soc classes with somo shes amazing she's very caring and understanding she will always reply to your emails and be at her office hours her class isn't an easy A but if you study everythings super straightforward and she does not make anything extra hard for no reason she has study guides that are exactly like the tests
I recommend you guys to take with her. Shes amazing and funny professor. She is smart and knows how to explain the subjects. Lots of extra credit. Shes easy going, no need to purchase a book cause she provides a free text book through the canvas. Thank you Miss Sandy Somo youre the best.
Professor Somo is the most understanding Professor I have ever come across! She is an amazing lecturer, passionate about the subject, and gives so many extra credit opportunities. As long as you turn in all of your assignments, you will pass her class. Trust me, there is a reason why her classes fill up so quickly. She is simply the best.
Professor Somo is the best professor at GCC. I enjoyed her class so much and it was so easy and interesting. Highly recommend you guys take her.
Professor Somo.... YOU ARE THE BESSSSTTTT!!!! She really knows the material! Her class is always interesting and keeps every student engaged throughout the entire lecture. She uses real life examples to teach the course. Oh and by the way....... SHE IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS HER!!!!
I literally took all her classes at GCC and I am so sad there isn't anymore to take. She is the gem of the sociology department here. Her classes fill up so quickly. Her lectures are amazing SHE is amazing you will love her class.
She is an amazing professor and she cares so much about her students. Take her every chance you get because you will never regret it. For soc, we only had 3 essays due, but the rest of the work was easy to understand and get through
Heart of gold. Took her in 2018 and just had to come on here to say she is an angel! young and full of knowledge and she had so much passion which made the course very interesting as well (considered switching to socio for a second) but overall, i think about this class from time to time. loved it SM and wish more professors were like her! lol
She is literally the best Professor ever. She cares about her students and she answers all your questions. Just attend to her classes, listen it and you will understand everything. Even if something is hard she does everything to explain it to you. She is very understanding and very sweet. I highly recommend her.
What can I say about her? She is above and beyond. A real sociologist and charismatic young Teacher with a heart of Gold! I took 3 of her classes and I am still eager to be her student. You will lose a lot if you do not have her as your instructor in your life once. GO SOMO!
Why are you even here? Go enroll in her class right now before it gets filled up! She is such a fun and caring professor. One of the most eye-opening and enjoyable classes I have ever taken. I love miss SOMOOO!!
Love, Love this teacher!!! She was Amazing, inspirational and understanding. Would take her for every class if I could!
Most amazing EVER! She has the kindest soul I've seen. She gives Skype chat lecture once a week and they're SO helpful! Very fun and easy class! one of the best professors at gcc. I will take her class a million more times if I can! Amazing professor, can't stress it enough! She's super loved! not a single student in the class dislikes her!
Great Professor. So kind and understanding. Took her for two different classes and enjoyed them both so much. Be ready to have discussions, that is where you get your learning in!!
PROFESSOR SOMO!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HER CLASS YOU WILL LEARN SOO MUCH AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STRESS WHAT SO EVER!!!
Professor Somo is the best professor ever!! You will learn a lot in her class and she gives really good feedback. Theres only three exams just go over the study guides and you will be fine also be part of the class discussions. Overall really glad I took her class however she is kind of slow when it comes grading.
Professor Somo is the BEST teacher ever! before taking this class I was so afraid of failing but I'm sooooo happy and lucky to take with her, she's such a sweetheart, her final and midterm are based on her reviews no other questions, easiest A ever!!!! don't even hesitate to TAKE HER!!!!!!! you won't regret
Prof. Somo is AMAZING! She's super sweet and cares so much about her students. The class itself is awesome I learned so much and plus I learned how I could use ideas learned in my real life. Discussions are held once a week over Pronto and it's super chill and not intimidating at all. Do yourself a favor and take this class, you won't regret it!
One of the most sweetest and amazing teachers ever. I have her remote for during the covid-19 outbreak and the fighting going on in Artsakh. She was very understanding of what's happening and helped a lot through extensions. 10/10 would recommend to take her class. One of the best professors in GCC. Easy class as well.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Thats all. Probably the most sweetest prof on campus. Has a humongous heart. You will get an A if u put in the work she expects. Easy A tho. She also grades easily, and theres lots of EC opportunities. Just take her trust. By far my most favorite prof ever. Easy to contact as well :). Love you Prof Somo!!
I took SOC 101 online as an 8 week summer course and it was simple to get an A. There are a few essays, which are easy to do well as long as you follow the directions. Quizzes and tests/final are also easy, mostly MC and the written is easy. There were weekly online chats where you just answer some questions. Highly recommend this course.
Professor Somo is the best professor I've ever taken. She is so sweet, caring, and understanding. She made me fall in love with sociology. For anybody majoring in sociology, I really recommend taking her. You won't regret it!
I LOVE THIS TEACHER SO MUCH! Out of the 20 years Ive been alive Ive never had such an amazing teacher who is so kind and so caring about you! She is so considerate of your mental health and feelings and will put YOU first! Stress does not exist in this class, everything is very easy and she will make sure of that with her wonderful lectures. Imy
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! TAKING HER AGAIN FOR SOCIOLOGY 131!! YOU NEED TO TAKE HER!!!
OMG, yes, take her class; you will enjoy every assignment that she assigned. Tests are base on the study guide that she provided. You won't overwhelm with the assignments, she will give you extra time to submit them; you need to email or communicate with her. She is an amazing and caring teacher. 100% take her class.
Caring prof who wants to see her students succeed. Works to understand her student's needs, and is willing to go the extra step to see you achieve your goals. Pretty easy class as well, just make sure to attend class since she doesn't record her lectures.
She's very sweet and will interact with everyone. Class is easy. For SOC104, we had no tests, just various assignments and a final project. I loved this class, but she takes forever to grade, which was very frustrating. Otherwise, I enjoyed the class. I also had 131 with her, which was a bit harder but still easy and enjoyable.
Professor Somo is the definition of a PERFECT professor. She is very caring, very considerate. All her assignments are very straight- forward, and she gives you all the resources to be able to complete them. Workload is not a lot but you learn quite a lot. Weekly discussion posts, quizzes, and projects that have very fun topics.
The greatest and most caring professor I've had. Fr the goat.
Prof Somo is one of the best professors in GCC. I took her online class where we didn't meet on zoom and she made all the assignments and excams easy to follow and not confusing at all. she assigns 3 essays throughout the semester with 3-4 topics to choose from. Super easy assignments & quizzes. Exams are MC & short answer. She's an angel.
She is such a nice person!!! As long as you do all the assignments you will definitely receive an A. Her lectures were intresting and I gained many new perspectives on societal issues.
very easy, routine class. Every week you get assigned a 10 question multiple choice quiz, a 5 question quiz based on a short article, and a discussion post. you also have a 3 exams total which are easy. Honors Project is also really easy, just a research paper and she does a good job assigning it in 3 parts so its spread throughout the semester.
Such a kind professor who actually acts as a teacher should. So rare to find someone this nice at GCC. I wish I could have her for all my other classes.
As of right now, Prof. Somo's rating is 5/5, which I firmly believe to be true. She is a great professor, and even though her class was remote, she was very helpful. Her class was also very manageable and she really cares for her students. For Scholars students who are thinking about taking her SOC101H class, I would definitely recommend it!
Professor Somo is truly AMAZING! She's one of the most caring, sweetest, respectful, helpful, and easy-going professor. Her class was easy to learn and follow along. I loved her online course and I'm sure you would too! If you are part of the Scholars Program take her for honors sociology; you won't regret it! :)
As expected, the online learning environment is not the best place to learn about a particular subject, mainly due to the fact that professors put less effort into the class. Professor Somo was also that way, as she did not respond to emails. If you only care about the A, and are only taking her to get a GE requirement over with, then take her.
She is such a sweetheart young and well level headed instructor, always full of energy and positive vibe for lazy, sleepy and bitter students in the class. She is a real model for a sociologist. very active and dedicated, she lives in San Diego but she drives all the way to LA to teach and go back. Awosme!
Took them in Spring of 2022, it was a well-balanced online asynchronous course! Not too much homework but also not too little, discussions were engaging and the final was a written report, would take again!
Professor Somo is by far one of the best professors out there! She cares about her students and wants everyone to pass her class. Of course, you have to put in the work on your behalf, however, she will guide you through the entire semester. She is very knowledgeable about her field of study so pay attention to her lectures!
