She is very intellectual. She takes a serious teaching approach and believes that each student deserves her best and vice versa.

still undecided on this one, she is nice, and means well, but a little out there!

Shes great. Very educational. :)

class was easy, she is very nice and is very helpful, i enjoyed this class too (she made it fun) lectures were clear, tests and the material they covered were not a suprise, i got an A

I actually really liked her for soc 7, she knows what she is talking about but its ahrd to take notes cuz she talks so fast and the tests are on the notes. but she is really helpful and she doesn't liek people to be late for class and also get involved in class. Number 1 thing study

Sarah is one of the best teachers that i have ever had. She was the first teacher i had when i started at LPC. Really helpful, she has a passion for teaching and it shows. I would recommend her to anyone.

Easy class but she barely ever showed up!!

Very smart and helpful. She's really nice when you get to know her in person.

Great informative teacher! Very nice too!

She is a wonderful teacher who is interested and passionate about her subject and has some very eye-opening classes. She's very intelligent and helpful outside of class, too. Her classes were never boring but alwasy fun!!

Very animated and enthusiastic teacher with an evident knowledge of sociology.

very nice, easy class. interesting topics.

A terrific lecturer, very animated and direct. Also a dear person.

This class is hella fun and interesting, and very easy. Just take good notes, dont screw up the paper, and u will be fine.

Very tough...but fair grading, grades on a curve. Tests are pretty difficult,so study hard! Very knowledgable and passionate about sociology, which always makes a class more interesting. If you don't mind a teacher who has a little OCD about being interuppted, and you actually enjoy learning, take her class.

She dresses funky and says her words weird. She seems to just read off her notes, but she also seems to know wat shes talking about. She is energetic.

ONLINE. Good instruction. Use the allotted time she gives you to complete all required reading; start early on group project; do extra-credit, when possible.

Some people misunderstand Prof. Thompson. She has a great dedication to Political Science. Understand that if you don't come to class prepared to learn instead of "glide" to a passing grade, she can't help you more then you can help yourself. Very intrest grabbing course that requires your attention, but I didn't find it difficult as many claim.

My only beef with her is her anal retentiveness with tardiness. You can't enter the class until she motions you in. But if you show up to class on time, do most of the readings, and participate in class discussions, you'll find her funny, energetic, and insightful. She's a great person to talk to when you need help both academically and personally.

I highly recommend this class! It was very interesting and Mrs. Thompson teaches it very well!! She makes the class very interesting and I really enjoyed this class. The extra credit field trip to good vibrations sex shop in SF was awesome!! I will for sure be taking another one of her classes!

I took this class online during the summer. Don't take this class if you want an easy course to fulfill a requirement. You will actually have to study for the quizzes, and there is a term paper that requires a decent amount of research. Overall, it's pretty interesting - but be prepared to do some work.

The most irresponsible teacher I've had - does NOT respond to emails, didn't post any grades until the last day of class. The only thing she's good at is her lectures, but even then, the word "right?" or "alright?" is said at the end of EVERY sentence making it immensely distracting. I never go on this site ever - until my semester with her.

She is a fun teacher I have read a lot of the other posts about her and yes she says ?right? and ?alright? all the time and takes forever to post grades, but it was a really fun class always wants to hear what you have to say as long has it has to do with the lecture. There is really no homework other then a paper and as long as you pay attention i

Mrs. Thompson is a great instructor! I enjoyed her class (Social Problems). There is alot of reading, group projects, and other materials, but what you get from this class is an understanding of so many things going on in this world!!! I recommend taking her online class, and if you find yourself having a hard time, just ask her for help!

Attendance and readings are a must. She may seem intimidating at first, but stick with the class. You WILL learn a lot. As I got to know her and visited her during her office hours (hint), she was pretty cool. We went on a field trip to SF and watched some really cool movies towards the end of the semester. I highly recommend this class!!

Shes the best! if you attend class, pay attention, study before the final its an easy A! I didn't read the text but still passed! Office hours werent too helpful, but she knows her stuff! Most interesting class ever!

I enjoyed this class. It's not easy, but total doable. I am certain I will receive an A, but I worked for it. There is a large research paper you will have to do, but she makes it easy by making small parts of it due at a time. Watch all the videos she puts in her lecture notes, and do all the reading and you will do fine.

I took Sociology 1 online with Professor Thompson. As other people have already said, she does expect a lot out of you but it will certainly help shape you as a student. If you take the class seriously and do the work in a timely manner, an A is definitely within your reach. I highly recommend taking this class.

Prof. Thompson is nice as long as you do the work. The class will be easy as long as you make it easy for yourself. Stay on task :)

Teacher was clear and helpful. The whole class was based around a huge research essay. She did break it up into small chunks. Must read her notes and the chapter to pass the quizzes. I would take another of her classes. It wasn't the easiest class but if you do the work you will pass.

Never used the book. Was an hour+ late to final she still let me take it. I'm pretty sure I aced if not close to aced this class. Just pay attention to lecture.

Professor Thompson is a great lecturer and if you take good notes, you're practically guaranteed an A on your midtermfinal. She's also very nice and clearly enjoys her job... I feel like this was one of those classes where I'm going to look back 10 years from now and say "Wow, that defined me."

If you don't like reading and taking notes from a textbook, I strongly suggest taking another class. Every test was mostly questions from what ever reading was assigned and some from lecture pages she posts herself. If you do take this class, jump on every extra credit opportunity she gives. Tests are hard and a huge term paper is assigned.

Professor Thompson is excellent at what she does. She offers a ton of extra credit so if you didn't do so well on a test or assignment you can improve your grade. With that being said, this is a college level class. You cannot expect an A without putting in the work. If I could take her for every Sociology course I definitely would.

For a student returning to college Sarah was an excellent professor to grab on my first semester. She gives incredibly interesting lectures and extra credit chances. When my group fell through on a group project I turned in what I had, explaining that this was it, and what should have been a D, maybe C at most was a B. Taking her class again!!

About two major papers, one of which is a group novel. Tests are semi-difficult but questions are given ahead of time to review and she chooses them. The only tests are the midterm and final. You dont really need to show up but you will probably have a difficult time understanding the midterm and final questions.

As long as you take good notes on her lectures youll be fine. She doesnt give many guidelines but a lot of her assignments are straight forward, just use your best judgement and its smooth sailing.

I took Mrs. Thompson for Sociology of Sexuality, and overall, a very enjoyable class. As long as you do the work, it is easy to pass. One midterm, final, term paper, and group project which is to create a film, and no homework or quizzes.

I took this class online and found it very hard. Unorganized and fairly slow. Take good notes on her long pages of her notes. Do all extra credit opportunities. I managed to get a B in the class

Online. Possibly one of the easiest classes I've ever taken and it helps that the subject matter was interesting. There is so much extra credit that getting over 100% in the class is do-able. (EC assignments are also interesting). Tests were fairly easy (she sums up info for you in readings). 1 argumentative paper due at the end. Lots of film

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! SHE GAVE ME SO MANY CHANCES TO KEEP MY GRADES UP; DOUBLING MY EXTRA CREDIT AND HELPING ME UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO CERTAIN ASSIGNMENT CORRECTLY. SHE DOES ASSIGN A LOT OF WORK AND PROJECTS, BUT IF YOU DO THE WORK; YOU'LL EARN THE GRADE. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE!

I definitely learned a ton in the class, but it was a ton of work. All the work from the textbook in addition to a research paper over the whole semester segmented with due dates every module plus group projects requiring you to watch videos or reading articles. She was good at giving feedback and responding to emails.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed Professor Thompson's class! I took her course online and it was very writing/research-heavy but I definitely learned a lot. Tests are open-book, so if you just do all the readings and take notes you'll do fine on the tests. If you ever feel overwhelmed, check in on her office hours and/or find classmates to work with.

I took both Global Studies classes and I passed both. The professor is very chill, she is open to giving students more time on their work if needed. The class isn't difficult if you take good notes and read the books. The tests are essay questions but easy to answer because of the study guide. Overall great teacher, would take the class again.

A difficult professor if you aren't willing to put in the work for her class. But for me it was a breeze and I have taken her twice each time the topics are fascinating and she cares for her students you just have to show you care and are trying.
