People don't like her because you have to take responsibility for yourself. Read everything and be able to support your arguments.

She is definately hard, has a dry sense of humor, and gives a "not so welcoming" first impression. If you get her, give her a chance, she is really smart and will make you learn no matter what. Be prepared: you will have to re-teach yourself HER way of writing papers. She counts EVERYTHING, however she lets you re-write it, after she corrects it - you'll get all those points back. She brings her cute 3-legged dog into class - she's really not THAT bad!

Truly the worst professor I ever had. There would be so many times when our entire class wouldn't understand the material or the work she was giving us. Whenever we would ask questions about it, she'd get upset and blame our generation for our "lack of understanding." Seriously, avoid her at all costs! Her class is a waste of time and energy!

Does not lecture in class, she relies on you to read the textbook and take notes & learn from it. Grades very difficult for a 101 class. For assignments, almost every class she decides to change the requirements of the assignment/what she's asking from you/your group. Class is passable but very frustrating.

Just turn everything in on time and follow the rubric and you'll get a good grade. The discussions are worth a good portion of your grade, just write a paragraph or two and use as many sociology terms as possible that fits and you'll be fine. No tests in the class, can redo homework, final was a project, wasn't hard but was annoying.

She will, without fail, grade you based off of a rubric that exists only in her head that is much larger than the one she will provide. Her handwriting is illegible and there are 3-6 quizzes weekly on things she doesn't discuss. We spent two months in groups that were meaningless in the end. You have to redo every assignment 3 times to receive a B.

Run in the opposite direction of this "Professor" Shes unprofessional and speaks to her students horribly. If you're into a snarky, rude professor this one is for you. She's about as clear as mud on her assignments. I can't believe they keep her around. Sociology Professors must be hard to come by. Switch out of this class STAT, you'll thank me.

BEWARE !!!! of this professor, she only focused on readings that she assignment that were a million pages long. She is very critically of grading, be expected not to gain all your points on assignment. She complains more about students not putting in high quality work when she does not explain anything everything is vague.

I don't know how she is the head of the Sociology department at Salisbury. She's hands down the worst professor Ive ever had. If you ask her a question she's either gonna work her way around it or tell you to figure it out on your own. Her directions for assignments don't make any sense. She contradicts herself often. Don't take a class with her.

The entire class is on the online textbook. There are no lectures, just discussions in class that don't help you because she reviews previous chapters instead of upcoming ones that would prepare you for the quizzes. Her class is useless to go to, and she knows, that's why she makes attendance mandatory and you lose points for leaving the class.

Extremely unclear in all directions.

Very tough grader for unit exam papers, considering how bad of a teacher she is and how little she does to actually help you.

I'm disappointed that she still teaches here and hasn't bothered to change her methods. She is very unclear in her instructions, her clarifications make everything more confusing.

Professor Mcentee is awful a professor and she is very rude and unprofessional. She grades heavily and will dock points off for everything that you type that she doesn't agree with. If she thinks your assignment isn't what she would write, it's wrong. If you do a research project and it isn't as specific as she wants it, it's wrong.
