Shauna is an excellent professor and would highly recommend anyone to take her classes. She is an extremely knowledgeable sociologist. She expects a lot out of her students but is a lenient grader and will curve tests if students didn't understand a certain concept. Take her classes! She's awesome and always very respectful.

Wouldn't take again

Her class was very simple and the expectations are made clear from the start. The class material consisted of mini-quizzes, a term paper, and one exam. While the grade is simple, I had trouble understanding the material due to the lack of teaching and constant documentaries. A big pro is that she is responsive to emails and is very understanding.

Don't take this class if you need accommodations. She rarely if ever answers emails as well so I hope you understand the course!

The tests in this class are hard, and you must use the response lockdown browser for everything. Overall, this professor has the class set up asynchronously, which some people liked and hated. For me, I loved this class. I would take it again. Although the exams are hard, there are many other points which can help you secure an A.

PLESE DISREGARD COURSE!!! I took COLS1100 as my freshman seminar and they didn't have enough teachers so they threw her in. It was her first time teaching that class but I have zero complaints, she is wonderful. She really made me feel welcomed and eased my anxiety about starting college.

Professor Sowga's class is a mixed bag. The workload is manageable, with mini-quizzes, a term paper, and one exam. While the material can be dry, the professor is understanding and responsive to emails. For study prep, Unstuck ai and other tools like ChatGPT proved helpful.

Easy teacher, who sends frequent emails/reminders to stay on top of classwork and tests. Allows for 3 late submissions. Fantastic to reach via email, and very forgiving.

Took this class as a ccp student and loved it! Total points are 1000, and 600 points come from proctored exams, the rest (400) are from weekly assignments which are small quizzes or discussion boards. Would recommend taking it with professor Sowga!

I had the pleasure of having Shauna Sowga as my COLS teacher during my time as a CCP student. She is kind and caring, genuinely invested in her students' success. Her grading is fair, and the assignments are straightforward, allowing us to focus on learning. I highly recommend her to anyone considering this class; she is an outstanding teacher!

This is probably the best course I have taken. She doesn't try and make it difficult. There is a lot of reading but it really isn't too bad. Mainly its just presentations that we can do at your own pase, weekly quizes were easy, great topics. Would 100% recomind.

Prepare to read, a LOT. Inquizitive, the website used for questions about the chapter, can be very annoying. Expect to take a while doing those. Four tests including the final exam, none of them have study guides and the material inside is unpredictable. Professor is kind though.
