YOU HAVE TO GO TO ALL THE CLASSES TO GET THE INFORMATION
If you try she will acknowledge it. I would recommend her...better than carter!
i went to every class, still didnt get a good grade. She is impatient with questions and doesnt clarify herself. No one understood her in the class. She isnt organized and i think it effected her teaching most def. She is mean, her clothes are interesting
The rating below was meant to say she does NOT answer questions. Do not ask for help or clarification; do not email or call her as she will ignore you. She also will give you an F and then refuse to explain why.
she's very disorganized... the tests seem so different from what she teaches you.
Got an "A", but worked hard for it...the class is interesting, but her tests are kind of unclear. Do all outlines for extra credit, and as always show up to all classes, and put forth effort in discussions. The class isn't really too bad...
She should be fired!!!!!!!!!!
Do NOT take this professor.
This is the worst teacher I've ever encountered, and all the other ratings about her disorganization, unwillingness to help her students, and strict grading are absolutely true. Spread the word!

She doesn't tell you when anything is due and she doesn't explain anything. What she teaches doesn't have anything to do with the tests. She is a very confusing women, and definately not a good teacher.
Interesting Class. I learned a lot. She expects you to be a college student, which is nice. If you do the work, like any other college level class, you will do well. It was NOT a difficult class!!!
She is definately a confusing teacher. She doesn't make and sense and never tells you when things are due. Stay away from this teacher.
Ehh....Worst teacher, is not too hard but is very annoying. she spent 6 weeks on the first chapter and will ask weird questions and say i don't understand for 10 mins untill someone gets the right answer
worst tacher i've ever had. she is so unclear as to what she wants from you adn then if you turn it in wrong she acts like it was your fault you did it wrong she is so unfair in tgrading too. her tests have nothing to do withy her lecture.
didn't understand anything she said. she is very messy and had no idea what she was talking about.
to her, every social problem dirives from middle-class, white males. she is absolutly horible.
CRAZY! she's so confusing and makes everything harder than it really is. Our class didn't take our first test until 2 1/2 months into the semester. She's funny though, but thats not gonna help you pass the class!
I absolutely love her. A little harder than most other teachers at Saddleback but really smart and interesting. Loves it when you participate in class and only expects some effort. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in learning Soc.
I've seen better. Asolutley convinced SHE was right, regardless of how strong of an argument you made. Ignored reason. ****eon-holed groups/organizations within the social sructure. Often unclear, and short-tempered. Not very organized- I was not impresse
She tries to elevate herself by putting down her students. She is a strong Marxian follower. Her tests are not related to the study guide and while she is funny, she is also duplicitious and mean.
If you like coming to school to be belittled, this is the teacher for you.
Her test are hard, but you might be surprised by your grade. Dont even bother trying to do the extra credit. You'll earn 2 points if any. Overall shes likes to put students down, but you've got to love those outfits! It was the highlight of my week.
You need to be a very good notetaker, it can get confusing really quick. Overall she is a nice person, but can be very unclear at times.
Miller-White isn't a good selection. I tried hard because it was my only class of the summer and didn't do as well as I should have.
I actually loved her class. Got an A, but worked hard for it. Her class is very interesting. Lots of people did not like her class b/c they can't understand her personality/the way she communicates, but I thought she was very interesting! Fun Class!
zero patience esp. when u disagree.according to her we are suppossed to "be in college now" which to her entails knowing her teaching style on the first day of class. god for bid u ask a question watch for her rolling eyes.oh and EVERYTHING is a
What a lunatic. At least her clown outfits and clown makeup were entertaining.
She is an awesome teacher. She holds tutoring sessions every week to explain in depth the context of the questions and tells really interesting stories in class. I would def. take her for sociology if you are considering a soc. class.
The funny outfits and makeup are the only things worth going for. It took my class 6 weeks to get through 2 chapters. She talks to her self, shows up late, and expects you to know everything. If I knew everything I would not have taken her class.
Very interesting teacher. I found her fascinating. Hard grader, her class was an expierence I would choose to live again. Challenging.
Very unprepared for class, leaves things unclarified, not clear on due dates for hw and leaves all the work for the last 2 weeks of school. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND taking her for Sociology
This is one of the most interesting classes i have had so far. I could listen to her talk all day. She has a lot to say and she is very entertaining, but shes brilliant. BTW this IS college, it's called critical thinking, a new concept for a lot of you
Some will LOVE her, rest of you will HATE her. She teaches from her head and overheads you needn't take nots from. Take good chapter notes and you'll do well on tests. If she loves you, you get an A. Don't miss class.
She's actually cool. Very knowledgeable. Only thing is, it felt like during lecture she asked us very ambiguous, unclear questions and expected very precise answers immediately. But it was fairly interesting.
She's not a bad teacher, you're a bad student. A LOT of critical thinking and a LOT of interesting points. Bonus for never wearing the same outfit twice.
how did she get her teaching credentials? probably the same place she got all that hair spray.
Another horrible teacher. She asks you questions no one could possibly understand, and no matter what your answer is her reply is either,"thats not good enough" or "I don't understand". Her reply for your questions is also "I dpn'
vER vERY vERY HARD TEACHER.....iNTERESTING BUT HARD rEAD TALLY'S CORNER BEFORE THE END OF THE SEMESTER...DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS CHANCES ARE U WILL FAIL
she is a very confusing teacher. One time she was talking and said,"wait hold on a minute and walked out the door." we all sat there waitin for her to come back. Her tests are multi choice, but the questions are confusing and like 3 sentences lo
I love this teacher. People think what they want to think. I thought she was good. Her class is one of the best I took. I always seem to learn most from professors who push me to learn. I earned my A, earning means that you carry it on in your daily life.
i got an A in this class but it was the worst class ever! people r plain retarded if they think this lady is normal! its not normal to make students with questions feel completely ignorant. thats why we are there, TO LEARN!!
OMG!! She is soo unclear! She replys to students very rude saying "she doesnt understand", i guess she was just looking for sociological terms. But she kinda makes you feel stupid. The class was not organized. Tests are kinda easy if you make su
Miller-White is rumored to be a 10+? year tenure Professor @ SB. For once, however, I found the textbook has more structure and clarity than the professor. Tests are very easy if you participate and do *extra credit* chapter outlines (should do anywa
You will learn, if you show up, listen and take notes, otherwise go someplace else...she has an after hours study group that does help if you become confused.
Crazy Crazy woman... doesn't ask clear questions... doesn't make clear analogies by any means. Lost our classes extra credit, and "her computer was broken" the entire semester so nobody knew any grade at all until the day before the final. HORRI

Very unclear teacher, does not make any sense! horrible teacher! I definitly do not recommend her! tests do not reflect what is taught in class or text book
She is insane. I get A's in every class and I got a C in her's. Since when is "World War 2?" a question. What is the answer to "World War 2?"
This teacher is not bad. The class isn't that hard if you pay attention and show up and read the book. Usually the students are just slow.
She proves that getting a degree in sociology is about the same as passing first grade
She is the most confusing teacher I have ever had. By the 15th week out of the 16 week class we were on Chapter 3. Three scantrons on the final? She told us that she was in trouble with the Dean because of the number of questions on the final.
The worst teacher I have ever had. Wish I dropped it and if you have her you should too. Even if you know the stuff her exams make no sense at all.
She told us that she would rais our grade form a C to B or B to an A if we do all our homewok and all the paper work she gives us . thats not what happend, i thought i'm getting an A when i checked she gave me a D ... i emailed her she never replied back!
Warning: any student currently enrolled in this class... DROP NOW!!!!!! this teacher is nuts! class is VERY hard and makes no sense. i dont think that she even knows what she is talking about, its all BS!!!!
this teacher is CRAZY! i took her summer school class we had our 1st test the 3rd week of our 6 week course. then we had the last 3 tests over the last 2 days of class! shes very unclear in her teaching and rambles on about nothing. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS
i really liked her...she is confusing and disorganised but if you participate in her rambling conversations you'll get an A
Love this lady! Got an A. You have to earn your A, but is well worth it! I personally enjoyed her class a whole lot. If I could take it again, I would. The class really encourages critical thinking skills! =)
The entire class looks around at each other, shaking their heads in disbelief. She is VERY disorganized, horribly unclear in both lecture and homework assignments and comes across as being judgmental when a student says something she doesn't agree with.
Loved her class. Probably one of the best classes I've taken at Saddleback. Eye-opener. Allows you to analyze life in a different perspective. Enjoy this class while you can, especially if you're not a soc. major.
she is very unclear and her tests are not easy. I definitly do not reccomend her! take west instead!
She's always at least 15 minutes late, and never appologizes. Roll is not important unless she gives you extra credit when a lot of students are gone. To succeed in her class, you need to read ahead of time, and take a lot of lecture notes.
This lady is an acid trippin creep. She always wears bright colors like shes in a frigan gap commercial. Not informative and not helpful. She is confused about everything and that is why she teaches sociology. Drop if ur in this class
wow...worst teacher ive had in my entire life. Did she win her job in a contest??Honestly i dont know how she got hired. She is way to fragile, shy, and just does not have any authority. she makes learning sooo boring. Just a bad bad teacher. honestly shouldnt be teaching.
I really enjoy the class and the subject matter. But I must agree that she is very confusing. Assumes you're wrong before you even get through answering a question. She's always late. Always preoccupied. Tells us she told us something, but probably told another class. And expects us to know it
This teacher is not very smart, she must have bought her degree online, i think i could teach better than her. Her analogies dont make any sense at all. I think she wears a wig, class could be interesting, bad teacher. pick someone else!
Avoid at all costs, even if sociology is your drea
Was very confusing at lectures. I read over the material a lot and when I got to class she made me confused. She assumes your a jack ass and that she is high and mighty. Is usually late to class and rarely apologizes for it. I wouldn't recommend her at all.
DO NOT TAKE HER. She is disorganized, scatterbrained, and biased. Her lectures are unclear and her tests are worse.Reading the material doesn't help because tests are just a measure of how much of her alien-babble you can decipher. Unfortunately she's here to stay, she has tenure and is dept chair.
she doesn't explain things well...but if you do your assignments you will pass
most confusing class ever.not worth going to class cause u dont get anything out of it.her weird outfits are amusing.shes always late and super rude.i never got the class structure,prolly cause there is none.dont take, or drop asap
She must build her lectures with those magnetic poetry kits for your 'fridge. She is so confusing because no one can understand what she is saying or asking. Her written sentence structure and content is not any better. Be prepared to be confused in lecture and on the tests.
What can I say, these reviews speek for themselves!!!!!!!!! This was my first class ever to take at Saddleback and what a bad experience. She is diorganized, biased, scattered and one time she gave us a test and taught us information that was on it right before we took it! Beware all!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first day of class there were 30 students in the class. The last day of class there were only 7 students left. She has been the laziest teacher I have ever encountered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
I had Miller-White for sociology. i never took this class, however, BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE she is an absolute NUT!!!! She is condescending, disorganized, and her tests might as well be written in Egyptian. Even if you study hard you won't understand what she is asking.AVOID
doesn't give much work. all hw is extra credit. tests easy. but she doesnt tell you when stuff is due, her studyguides suck... but the tests are all of your points and they are easy
this lady is definetly on something. she is always eating or making something and doesnt explain anything. she expects you to know everything she teaches and no one does. she is very straight forward but she actually is pretty funny! the concepts of this class are very interesting,diff. teacher tho!
I took her for one of my first GE out of High School about four years ago. I was ready to give up on school then. She is unfair, unorganized, and unclear. It is bad when the whole class has to petition a grade.
I didnt learn anything. She just gives you the work to do and then asks something totally different on the tests. When asked about it she says "oh well, not my problem". I really do not recommend her to anyone!
What can i say, you should have 30 opinions about how crappy this teacher is!!!! (Yes shes that bad!!!)
Here's a simple statement about her and the class, she makes Omarosa(from the Apprentice show) look Good!
Everyone who put a negative mark on this great teacher is overreacting. She is helpful to those who try, and even teaches a tutor class. If you pay attention, take good notes, and do the extra credit, you'll do well in the class.
This teacher brings shame to Saddleback college - I still can't believe she has her credentials. I honestly believe she is out to get every student that walks through her door. Drop now, before it's too late!
BY FAR THE WORST TEACHER EVER!!! shes always late to class, unorganized, asks you for your opinion on stuff then tells you your wrong.she has no structure to her class. she has big hair and wears the ugliest outfits. i dont see how she is a teacher, no one in my class actually went to class its a jo
AVOID THIS TEACHER. She is never prepared for class and is always late 10-15 minutes. She is not helpful at all and is more confusing then anything. She does not give an information with regards to her tests. NOT HELPFUL.
the woman is nuts....but her class is easy and if you just show up and take some notes you will for sure get an A. Just participate in her crazy conversations and you might learn something. She is not out to get her students but she does kinda suck with organization.
if you can look past silly habbits like disorganization and tardiness then you really get to see how amazing this womans ideas are. This class really opened my eyes, and reaffirmed beliefs i had about society. its really easy too. grasp the concepts and do extra credit outlines then youll get anA
One of better classes offered at Saddleback. This is a class where you need to pay attention and do the reading. She's old school... you do the work you pass. If you're looking for an easy grade, this is not the class for you. If you're looking for challenge, this is the class!
The worst teacher ever!!!! Don't take her I'm not just saying it to jump on the wagon. Disorganized, didn't learn a thing, always late and I could go on. Save your $ and time and take Soc 1 from someone else.
Teacher was very unprepared and always late. Was not helpful at all. She answered questions without clarifying what she meant and often leaving students confused because she contradicted herself. Often asked students to remind her about what she was discussing because it slipped her mind. Horrible teacher avoid at all costs.

She wasn't very clear. When some of the students in the class had questions she would get frusterated that they didn't know what she meant and she would speak in a tone as if everyone in the class was stupid because they wanted her to be more specific.
This teacher is absolutely CRAZY! The first day of class i was literally scared of her.. very unclear and rude. Always late and always loses things! Do NOT take her!
If you value your GPA and sanity, don't take this class. Miller-White's a nutcase and the worst teacher ever. She stops short during the middle of a sentence and leaves class with no explanation. Chronically late. Her thoughts, speech, and tests are indecipherable. She will teach you nothing and give you an F in the process. RUN IF YOU SEE HER.
DON'T TAKE HER. The material isn't hard, but she loses assignments and is hard to understand. She's the most unorganized teacher and won't let you make up an assignment SHE lost. She's a nutcase, lectures are scatterbrained. Tests are like trying to read alien language. She's always at least 15 minutes late. She can ruin a good subject, don't take!
it's not that the class is hard: the material itself is pretty self explanitory. the thing that really ruins this class is the teacher's idiocy. her lectures and tests are indecipherable. no material from the book is on tests, half of it wasn't even lectured on. don't take this class if you value your sanity and gpa.
She is by far the worst teacher i have ever had! She looks like mrs, cosby and talks and talks about nothing. It's pointless to go to class cuz you can't undersstand her except her tests are 100% from her notes. She gave me an F and when i went into to ask why she had lost 3 out of the 4 tests of mine. She asked if i even took her final!!Umm Hello!
Ms Crazy-McNutcase is definatly one of the most oddest teachers I have ever had. She's late, disorganized, insane, and unclear on everything she does. Theres no homework though. I began the outlines, but just gave up later on. I didnt even read the last two books we were assigned, and I got a B. If you can't deal with crazies, don't take this class
this teacher is a dumb ****. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take this class.
EVERYONE I've known who has taken her class has failed. She's rude, mean, demeaning, she picked on a kid in my class with a learning disability for not following fast enough. She is just awful! She?s probably the most unpleasant person I've ever met.
terribly unorganized. take soc2 though. i guarentee you its worth your while... any other clas... probably run for your life. shes always late and its an easy grade. you pretty much have no assignments all semester either. seriously... easy a if you c
Worst Teacher Ever...Talk about a ****....really sad that we have teachers like this anywhere...

she should stop teaching and go into the fashion business. she wears great outfits. but do not take her class. even if your at saddleback for another year.. stay away from her..
She is late to class everyday and forgets to grade assignments. She has lost our seating chart 3 or 4 times and then blames us. She is EXTREAMLY disorganized. Every assinment must be typed but she will never collect it. She spits out the assingments as your walking out the door, very very unclear! She seems very hostle and likes to degrade students. The subject is interesting but thats about the only good thing about the class. She is crazy and this is coming from one of the best students in the class.
although she is a little ADD she's very nice and as long as you shout out answers youll do well. they dont even have to be right just as long as she realizes your trying. i got an A, i heard the outlines helped but i only did one a go a 1
This teacher is horrible! She is absolutely crazy! The first day that she walked into class i was scared of her! Her class is super boring but her test are really easy! There is a lot of extra credit which helps but DONT TAKE HER

WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. I had to drop the class because she was such a complete psycho. She never knew what she was talking about- she lost slides, came late, and was more unorganized than any human being on this earth. It's like watching a freak show- come for entertainment, don't expect to learn a thing unless you want to teach yourself.
Ok for all the losers that said she is a bad professor they are all just mad because they obviously didn't care to try in the class, this is an easy A-B class, ya she is a little disorganized, but she gets the work done and we all always get the material understood.
She is a horrible instructor! I was the one setting the bar in the class and dropped it as I could see the bar would NEVER be high enough! Her teaching is unclear, she yells at everyone,she forgets EVERYTHING and expects students to know what it is she is talking about when she makes NO sense at all. FRUSTRATING WASTE OF TIME & MONEY!!!!!
She seems to be a nice person but can be very moody at times. She is very unclear about everything. She is extreamly disorganized and is late for class everyday. She is good at keeping your attention during lectures but a lot of the time she doesn't make any sence. She gets very flustered and looses train of thought easely, very hard to follow.
I really like her. her clothes are kind of... odd... to say the least but overall she's a good teacher. just have some patience (cause she's sometimes taken prisioner to her own little world) and do the extra credit and you'll do just fine!
She is brilliant. Yes she is disorganized at times but really the class is so easy and interesting you have to be and fing moron to not get at least a B.
She is a good teacher..kind of odd though. her tests are very WORDY. she beats around the bush when it comes to asking questions on the tests so watch out. somehow i managed to get a B but i thought i failed the final. its a pretty hard class but if you try hard enough you can get a B. you're crazy if you get an A. you can tell she likes sociology
she is the worst.looking back the class wasnt that hard. if you show up and truly listen youll be fine. but seriously she is the worst. i dont want to be too hard on her because i think she may have some serious mental problems. but she is the worst...the worst.
If you want an A, do what a college student's supposed to do!!! Study. It's students who are snobby/ignorant, who are used to being spoonfed who totally hate her. If you study like you're supposed to, take notes, you should be fine. I got an "A". It's not impossible, folks!
One thing I notice that's different about students at saddleback is the fact that they're so used to being pampered that they basically expect to get their "A"s served on a platter. Look, I know some of you come from a very wealthy background, realize- Reality you must work for your grade! Took her last semester- got my A. She's funny/intellegent.
I really didnt like this teacher. I'm not a person that expects to have a grade handed to them but I like to be taught the material before she asks me wuestions about it. Although she has a lot of good points, she is very unorganized, confusing, frustrating and seems like shes in her own little world. I should've left the class after the first day.
Please, don't take this class...everything is so unclear...teaching and assignment instructions
I know a lot of her ratings come from lazy students but I not one of them. I got a good grade and she seem to like me but she is a terrible teacher! She is so disorganized it's a joke! She says one thing one class and the next week it's the opposite. Very Unclear! She is totally crazy but it does make the class interesting. I love Soc but not her.
She is a prime example of the fact that they let just about anyone become a professor these days! They should have fired her long ago, but are probably afraid to because she is an african american, female sociology teacher. Firing her would make them look bad! Sad but true!
I don't come from a weathly background and I work hard for my grades! I got an "A" last semester and I can say she is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. You shouldn't generalize people and discount their opinion assuming they are lazy or snobs because of the shcool they attend. Don't take this teacher, even councelors will urge you not to!
she cant get her notes organized and is never clear on what the assignments are, its horrible. and she doesnt explain herself well.
i took her twice and the second time was easier. once you get her methods down and remember to ask questions and participate, she's a breeze. she LOVES you if you do your outlines. she doesn't forget students too, if you ask a lot of questions and have your own opinions.

This teacher is crazy!! Do not take this class no matter what. I like soc. but we seriously did not learn anything the whole semester, sad really.
This teacher is very un-organized. Her notes are horrible, she can never remember where we left off from our notes. She ask one question to a student, before the student can finish she is asking a totally different question. So my suggestion is that you don't take her at all!!! And I mean it!
I consider myself an excellent student and all of my professors would agree.I put a lot of effort into her class and got decent results, but everything is terribly unclear.She says things in complete contradiction all too often.Asking her to explain makes things more confusing. She will not accept any view that is not in direct alignment with hers.
wonderful teacher. if you do the work, you please her, she's happy! always participate. those who don't are the ones who have the problems. Speak up!
She's really nice, but as others have said, very disorganized. She's very smart though and if you go to class, take good notes and study those notes rather than read/study from the book, you will pass.

She is unorganized, unhappy, and does not create a pleasent atmosphere comfortable for the education of the students. I had her class once and with her lack of help, cooperation and lack of returning phone calls for help (she has no email) I dropped the course after listening to her speak for less than two hours. AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!
She was a hard teacher at first, but if you ask questions and get involved in the class you'll do good. She likes people who speak up.
She's a best teacher you ever had! She offers study group and it helped me a lot for my understanding. I am taking a 21 units now, and no other teacher offer and offered a study group ever! She helps you a lot. (But class is kind of challenging though.)
I am real suprised that Pro. Miller has gotten many negative ratings. I really enjoy her class and think she is wonderful. She opened me to sociology.(I changed my major to Soc.) I'll admit, she's tough and takes the job serious. She expects her students to participate, study materials, but she is really helping, great professor!
She is brilliant. Yes she is disorganized at times but really the class is so easy and interesting you have to be and fing moron to not get at least a B.
She is great. The class is really interesting but challenjing too!
A confessed former phone psychic, Sherry Miller White definately fills the stereotype of crazy Miss Cleo. Her lectures are entertaining only for the fact that she is so obviously blunt and rude that it often makes you laugh. She embarrases people by calling them out on their mistakes. With 5 weeks left to go, I feel I haven't learned much.
This teacher is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Not only is she unclear about everything, but she picks on students all the time. She is always at least 15 min late for class. It worries me that Saddleback picked her as the head of Soc Science. This is coming from an A/B student.
This lady is nuts. She can't teach, or dress well for that matter. Now about her teaching, she doesn't know how. Our study guides we received had information we never even talked about. She is always depressed and yells at you if you don't have the same opinion as her. I took SOC 1, eager to take SOC 2 (Social Problems) and we didn't learn s*it.
She thought there was an extra week in the semester so we had to take a test and final the same day. We got study guides the previous week but 1 had 75 terms we had never seen so I spent hours looking them up. On the final day we find out she had sent an email 2 days before (syllabus says not to email her) with a completely different study guide.
This lady is insane! I really am concerned for her mental stability!!! She makes absolutely no sense to a normal human being. She is not helpful, shes is crude and unapproachable. If you dont share her views she doesnt want to hear what you have to say.. I would not take her class ever again if I was paid! Im surprised she is still teaching!
I know it's wrong, but I love reading her baaaaaad reviews. I'm so ashamed.
I'm still in Sherry's class and wow, I agree, she is crazy. However, even though she is unlike anyone else and often I feel like the class has no idea what she's talking about, I have learned a lot in her class. She's strange but she makes sure her students know everything really well, which helps me a lot. She asks a lot of her students.But its ok
Ok, honestly, pay attention to the people saying she's great. They ALL say "do the homework and you'll be fine" & "tests are kind of hard." What does that say about a class / professor, when you're not graded on your knowledge of the subject, but how much time you WASTE? Worthless, terrible, unorganized, belligerent, nasty, mean, -stupid- teacher.
Okay people, THIS LADY IS CRAZZYYY. Do not take this class. I do not know how she even has a job, she is the most disorganized mean teacher i have ever experienced.
This teacher is ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE, I hate her!. If you want a D or an F take her! She is so unorganized. She does not know what she is talking about, she is so crazy. People were right when they said not to take her, and did I listen? no, and what am I getting a D and I am an A/B going onto my last semester. freaking class tainted by transcript.
This woman is out of this world! The only thing interesting about this class is seeing what she is wearing. She feels strongly about Marxism everything else is pretty much wrong to her. Her tests are very unorganized and very weirdly worded, which made it hard. I feel as though I learned nothing, we only did like 4 Chapters this entire semester and
I hate miller white, So a week after mid-terms when she is presenting our grades, she tells me she has lost my midterm, im pissed i email her, no reply. stay after class she tells me to leave her a written letter for her to reply to, NOTHING!! look on my grade and i have an F, Im going straight to the dean of social science. I WANT THIS TEACHER OUT
Worst teacher ever. Like everyone else said expect a D or F in her class. I went to almost every single lecture and I still have no idea what was on the test. DO NOT TAKE HER!
I'm a good student and showed up almost every class and I barely passed her class. Not many people in my class ended up with a passing grade and it wasn't like everybody was stupid, the material wasn't too difficult to comprehend but your better off reading the book than trying to learn from this teacher.
She's doable. I received an "A" in her class. Of course it took a lot of hard work, and understanding the way she teaches.
TRUST EVERYONE ELSE that says she's a bad teacher i didn't and had a horrible semester. THe only interesting thing about her class was her outfits. I went to tutorials and did the extra credit and still didn't get her demented tests
seriously, DO NOT take her. complete waste of time. terrible teacher. she would confuse herself.
She is crazy and does wear the same St. John outfits all the time. She takes some getting used to, but she knows the subject and if you test well its a good lecture/test class. I am almost thirty so it is a good class for adult learners. If you get through the first couple weeks, you will do fine in the class.
There are no words to describe how much I hated going to this ladies class. All I have to say is she lost my Mid-Term!
Ok, she is doable but would i recommend her...no! I acutally got an A in this class and that was because is studied my but off, did the extra credit which really help. Just a shout out if you need to take her do the extra credit. I luckly got on her good side and did everything i was told, so if you want someone nice i wold go with some one else.
Like everyone prior to me has already informed you, DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. She's absolutely out of her mind. If there's another teacher available, take them, without a doubt.
I remember her from 15 years ago, and after seeing all her bad reviews, am STILL amazed she is teaching !! She was the worst, even back then....how does she STILL have a job ????
This class was VERY difficult. It doesn't matter how well you know the material, chances are you will still do poor. We only had two tests, a project, and a final to be graded on. Most of the class received a D or C
Dont take this class. It is impossible. Our grade was based on a test, a project, a midterm and a final. Really hard if you aren't a good test-taker and she is incredibly difficult to understand
Everyone who gave her bad reviews is just LAZY! Yes its true, you HAVE to go to class, and pay attention but what else are you in college for? All you have to do it Read, do the outlines, and pay attention. Honestly its not as hard as people make it out to be, your just HAVE to show up to class, she gives a lot of answers to tests in class!
She didn't know what she was saying half the time. She would just babble on about random stuff and repeat herself every single class period. She would not remember where we were at in the class and we did not get to everything she said we were going to go over. We basically only went over one chapter the whole class. Almost a waste of time.
Sherry is a very interesting teacher. Most of you didn't like her but probably because you just wanted to get an A and get out. It took some time to get use to her but I would make the effort to ask her for help and have her explain herself and I ended up having an A in the class. If you show up and participate even if its madness you'll do well!
My worst experience with a teacher I have had so far. After spending a few hours on one of her outlines the next day when i tried to turn it in, she wouldnt except it because it wasn't stapled and I recieved a 0 on the outline so I dropped the class. Worst teacher...
Worst teacher I've ever had!! I am a hard working straight "A" student, and I got a good grade in this class. She's horrible. She says one thing one week, and the next it's the opposite! She was 20 min late to class almost everyday. If she likes you (she liked me) your ok, but get on her bad side... you'll want to drop the class. way is she taching
DONT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN EASY A. TAKE IF IT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING. people come to class hoping to pass if they just show up, but if you review your notes every week JUST LIKE SHE SAYS youll understand the material better. youll learn if you really want to, but if you give up youre screwed.
OMG! worst teacher i have EVER had. not clear on anything, says one thing then changes it 20 minutes later... so so confusing! DO NOT take her. u will regret it. I sure do!
OMG! worst teacher i have EVER had. not clear on anything, says one thing then changes it 20 minutes later... so so confusing! DO NOT take her. u will regret it. I sure do!
We never went by the syllubus. Over half of the class was failing more than halfway into the semester. No one receivd higher than a C grade. Don't take this class.
this teacher sucked! omgsh. do NOT take her! she is NOT clear, VERY disorganized. DO NOT take her! i think the highest grade in the class was a C. or even maybe a D. DONT take her.
DO NOT TAKE HER. SHE IS UNORGANIZED AND HORRIBLE! highest grade in the class was a C or D. HORRIBLE!
She is a very disorganized teacher. She will start teaching one thing and then go off completely on a tangent. She has no idea what she is talking about, the notes are very unclear. She can't spell things correctly on her notes. She's nice, but she's crazy. Don't take her if you actually want to learn something.
OMGG HORRIBLE TEACHERR NEVER EVER EVER TAKE HER
This is one of the worst teachers I've ever met. She talks down to students and makes them feel stupid. If you understand, she refuses to clarify. She contradicts herself and you never know what to expect next. She's very impatient and makes it very difficult to get a good grade.
do all the extra credit. listen carefully to her lectures and youll be fine but you DO HAVE TO SHOW UP IF YOU WANT TO PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
she woundnt except my hand written outline. she made me cry :(. litteraly.
Don't take her! she the worst. She is messy; never knows where she puts things. She teaches terribly. She is just too confusing. I was in complete shock the whole semester of the way she taught. When a students attempt to answer her question and its not what she wants all she says is "I don't understand" and just blankly stares at the class.
Horrible prof. very unorganized and unhelpful.we were three weeks behind schedule and she, of course, blamed us for that because we were not trying hard enough.you try to answer a question and if its not a perfect bullseye, she gives you a strike and doesn't tell you the answer.doesn't say when homework is due and is just awful.avoid at all costs!!
You can get an A in the class by doing the all chapter outlines (which are extra credit and make a huge difference in your grade) and taking brief notes when she lectures. Warning: her syllabus was very confusing and many people in the class ended up doing outlines for another chapter
No question, it was the worst class that i've ever taken. She's constantly lost, doesn't explain anything, and so then by about week 4 every student is close to failing. The whole semester works this way, and its basically up to you to teach yourself.Whats worse is every test is subjective and vague. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
WORST teacher i have ever had in my life.... do not take her!!!!!!!!!! She does not know how to teach and does not help her students at all. She does not tell students when things are do and blames the class not knowing things that she is doesn't even teach. Worst class ever you will dread going to class. WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!
WOW! all these comments are like 100% accurate! WORST TEACHER EVER! She's mentally retarded and I think she might be beginning to show symptoms of altimerz, i know i cant spell
This teacher is horrible!!!!....I am in this class right now. It started out full; but because of her ludacris teaching style and unrelated tests, most of my class mates dropped and we are down to about 15 students. You are punished for not understanding her questions and she doesn't explain once you don't understand. Take another proff if possible
pretty fun class. can be a bit boring. gives a lot of extra credit. it helps your grade. pretty easy class. tests are straight from the book and the notes. just read it and youll do fine. shes really easy and funny
Please do not take her. the worst teacher i have had a saddleback. I am an a student and got a c in this class. cannot stand her. she doesnt know how to teach. please do not take her. You will regret it
Worst teacher i have ever had! Totally disorganized and does not know what she is going to teach about from one day to the next. Confusing class outline and horrible topics
Horrible Horrible teacher do not take her class!! Half the time you have no idea what she's talking about and you don't know when or if an assignment is due. Avoid her class if you can!
Oh my word. The worst school experience I have had IN MY LIFE. She rambles aimlessly without a point then asks a question which, being completely honest, you can't answer right. If you don't use the exact word verbatim that she's thinking of she says,"I don't understand." Most irritating, frustrating, and unfair teacher I've ever witnessed.
Well, with the exception of one comment here, these people are correct. She is very unorganized, unhelpful, and just plain mean. If you don't know a question, she marks a point off the entire class. Then after doing so, she asks why we don't know, and then proceeds to not tell us the answer. The higest grade in our class is a low B- I would avoid taking this class at all
One of the worst teachers Ive had. Her questions to the class are very irrelevant and don't pertain well to the topics. When the whole class is stumped, which they typically are, everyone gets a negative point. Her tests are next to impossible to pass, and there were only 2 B's in the class. I would recommend any teacher over this unorganized on
For the love of God. Drop the class, the worst teach iv ever had. Half the class failed it, and there was one A in the whole class. shes doesn't even teach, shes asks you questions and if you don't get them right she takes points from the whole class. she is also VERY unfair with grading.
never take this class it has nothing to do with socio, she is the weirdest teacher i have ever had in my life.. she is a retard, freak and ****ed up!!! she makes u feel worthless i dont even know how i got a B!!!
She is rude and crazy. DO not take her class! I sat in one class, walked out, went home and dropped her immediately.
"You need to wake up and smell the sociology!" because this teacher is dreadful. She yells at the class after she asks incomprehensible questions, and deducts points from our grades should we answer incorrectly. Plus, she wears Crocs that match every pantsuit. What more could I say?

She doesn't like Psych majors. She will make faces and grunt at you if you mention Psychology at all. She was probably the worst professor I have ever encountered. I was so frustrated with her class. I would not recommend this professor unless you have a lot of time to figure out what she wants from you. Everyone bombed the tests most of the time.
This is NOT an easy A. Her grading is ridiculous. All HW (outlines worth up to 5 points each) is extra credit, but you need ALL of it. No one got A's on the tests. I pulled off an A with the EC. She's also difficult to understand, but I thought she was funny and interesting. Do all of the EC and study hard if you want to pass!
On the first day, she didn't even talk once about the actual class subject matter. Just about her crazy way of "structuring" the class. I dropped it immediatley
i wish i never took this class. she's crazy. get out while you can!
basically what everyone else is saying. she's sassy and rather rude sometimes. she asks incomprehensible questions then gets mad when no one answers, and you got to answer EXACTLY the way she wants you to. also brace yourself for a 15 hour service project. or just not take this class.
Sherry Miller-White is perhaps the worst professor I have ever had. She is disorganized beyond belief and does not know what she is trying to say half the time. She wastes you time by spending half of the class time scrolling through word documents trying to find where she left off. She does not follow her syllabus at all! Hello yes? enough said.
This teacher is the worst i have ever had. She teaches some classes that are mandatory at saddleback, but try as hard as you can to get around it! She doesnt make any sense, her grading doesnt make any sense and she is kind of mean. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Horrible
I just got home from class 10 minutes ago and want to let everyne know, do not take this class! She is disorganized and doesnt know what she is talking about half the time. Test questions are phrased in a way where you dont know what shes talking about. How she is teaching, I dont know. Stay Away!! She seems ignorant regaurdint her own material.
she is a RAT from the depths of the sewers! she fills up the 3 hour class with long laborious analogies after 10 minuets of confusion she gets to the point. i could teach her class in 10 minutes.
Disorganized, not clear, making up assigments as she goes .don't take this joke class, where a professor makes you feel humble and worthless. I visited her in her office hours, she told that she doesn't want me and didnt open the door, even thou he had know idea who i was. Devil sent her to ruin lives of kind saddleback students
She is extremely unorganized, incoherent, and hard to understand. On our tests, some of the questions that she wrote herself didnt make sense so we had to correct them for her. She never logs things in and always contradicts herself with her lectures, if she can find them in her computer. hates capitalism, loves Marx
You do lots of work and dont learn anything. At the end, everythink you did during the semester won't pay you back - really hard grader. Doesnt curve a grade. Got 89.3 - B
HORRIBLE.
Well this teacher is absolutely nuts. But...if you come to class every day and do the extra credit you will easily get a B, if not an A. She rounds up if you are close to the next grade. She is probably the most disorganized teacher ever but if you actually listen then it is interesting and easy. Take her class in the summer!
Basically this teacher is nuts. First day of class I thought for sure that I would drop the class. As long as you do the study guides and show up to class, you will get at least a B if not an A. I am not a very good student and I got an A. She is very disorganized and very loud. Take this class in the summer so youre done in 6 weeks.
She is extremely bizarre and totally unorganized. Due dates, papers and tests information is totally unclear. Even if you ask questions she acts like your bothering her when she was the one not explaining things well in the first place. I would definitely NOT recommend anyone taking this class.
She's the reason I changed my major from Sociology to Psychology. Psycho.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! She is the worst teacher ever. She can't teach and she is mean.
HORRIBLE TEACHER DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. More than 3/4 of the students in my class dropped in the first 2 WEEKS! She makes no sense at all, barks at you if you ask a question, and gives out "strikes" if no one knows the answer. TAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I think shes a great teacher she talks about the real world not some ancient teaching method,idk why alot of people are hating her,i think it's cuz they either dont understand english or they just took this class thinking it would be a show up and get an A type of thingshe is a bit strict with somethings but its worth the education u receveILOVEHER
WORST TEACHER EVER. Gets upset about everything. even if you get up to throw something away and then tells us that "we're all adults here" when she can't even be adult enough to realize that we're allowed to do things with out having to raise our hand about everything. She doesn't teach well at all. and overly pronounces the "H" in words like "Whip
After the first day of class, I went home and dropped her class. She treats the class like we're all back in elementary school. Her rules are rediculous. She is really forgetful and expects everyone in the class to remind her of what she was saying/doing. Taking this class is a waste, unless you're devoting your entire life to it.
I took her online, she refused to help me. It was my first online class and I emailed her over 15 times asking for help and she responded ONCE. She then called me and told me not understanding was my fault. She does not do her job well. DON'T take her. It was awful. Dropped the first week.
I had her as my online teacher and even though it's a more independent environment, she complicates instructions and barely contacts the students on assignments, instructions, the layout of the website, and grades. You could be doing the assignments wrong the the whole time and she 'd only tell you after you got an F on half of the assignments.
Great teacher:)
I took her class Fall 2011 she is a great teacher although it was my first course in english, since English is my second language, But i got A you just need to listen in class and study well to learn the theories the questions for final exam were all critical thinking questions if you listen well in class you will get an A.she's a nice teacher.
She should not be a professor. She had a 10 page syllabus in all caps with loads of childish rules such as a seating chart, asking permission to use the toilets and some weird system where students are assigned as "keepers"/"pagers" that she can boss around for menial tasks. I walked out the first day while she was talking, I hope it sent a mess

She is an amazing teacher . her class was so fun.and she put enough effort to teach sciology describe every single details in the book very well. I got A n her class since she will give many opportunities for extra credit you can get an A easily. Miss her :)
she is never clear with her instructions. she isn't helpful. she doesn't answer your questions. she bats around the brush. it takes her longer than it should to get to the point.
She is the craziest teacher I've ever seen. She doesn't make things clear, and she goes through her outline too fast to write it down, and she doesn't post them. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THE CLASS UNDERSTANDS HER! We all talk about how she makes no sense after class. SAVE YOURSELF AND NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!
I took her online summer class and I would never take her again. Yes this is college, no I am not a slacker, and yes she should stop teaching. She is unclear, unorganized and will not respond to emails. Easy class, bad teacher. Got a B.
not clear on what she wants. flies through her lectures she expects you to take notes from, then says it's your fault if you didn't get it all. Has students do menial tasks that are clearly her job like "pager or timer." Told a student last class he needed to ask permission to use the restroom. Very unapproachable.
After the first couple weeks of class I dropped it. We never did any work she always forgot stuff her lectures were scattered and fast. She treats the class like we're all back in elementary school. Her rules are ridiculous. She is really forgetful and expects everyone in the class to remind her of what she was saying or doing.
I'm currently taking her online class. The class itself is pretty easy but the professor is not prompt in responding to emails. Grading system is confusing,She has a rubric but still you'll never understand why you have too low or too high grades. You'll never know how she really grade your assignment or essay. I would not recommend her to anyone.
I took this course online and it was simple work but it is very difficult to understand how she grades. You might type a great response and she'll give you a low score or a short response and give a good score. Tons of glitches with blackboard and does not respond to emails.
Never knows what she is doing in class. Very unorganized and has to have the class tell her what to do. No one understands what the assignments are. Gives us 3 strikes like we are little kids. Do not take this class.
Doesn't make any sense when teaching. Very confusing. Whole class fails her tests because she doesn't teach things in a way we can understand them. She's always having the class show her what to do/where to find something on her computer. Never takes roll. Over half the class leaves by the time we hit the half way point of the 3-hour long class.
Terrible. Dropped it after the first 2 weeks. I am a 4.0 student, and she flunked my first two assignments with no explanation. Seems confused, gives you no idea what she wants. Doesn't participate in the message boards. Don't bother, she doesn't.
If I could rate this prof. on a scale from 1-5 I would give her a -100. This prof. is terrible... She is confusing, unhelpful, & everyone fails the tests because she doesn't explain anything or she "doesn't feel like teaching us the rest of the material". Also, she is unprepared for class and she makes excuses why this is so.
I like her because she is spunky, but that's about it. soo confusing but I do like that she tries to get the whole class involved. the way test questions were worded made me so confused
I would rather kill myself than go to this class. She is the Hitler of sociology.
Do not take this Professor she never responds back to you and she accuses people of not completeing a discussion when clearly she overlooks things. She is hard to get rid of people complained about her several times in the past.
Worst educator I've ever had. She's VINDICTIVE, CONFUSING, and USELESS. If she says "Hello, Yes" "Right" "I don't understand" take a drink and maybe this class'll be fun. If you take this class, don't go or buy the book, Google study terms, and take all exams and EC and you'll be fine. Didn't show up for 2 months, I got an A. DON'T TAKE THIS PROF!
one of the best teachers I've had in a while
If you want your assignments to be graded, don't take this professor. It takes forever for things to be graded. Also, if you want them graded fairly, do not take this class with her. I did everything her rubric asked for with the discussion boards, and went beyond. She never gave me more than a 710. Find a different professor.
I have never had a worse professor in my life. Even online, this professor will not respond to any emails, shows little to no helpfulness towards students, and is an unclear and tough grader. DO NOT take her. One of the worst decisions I have ever made. DO NOT take her.
well well... in some ways I like her, but she is very unprofessional and not a great professor. She always shows up to class unorganized and never remembers what we have covered. it seems like she always just shows up but I don't feel the passion. professor accubbage is much better. be prepared to be confused of her standards.
she doesn't ever check her e-mails. she forgets to post assighnments and then expects people to do them. her multiple choice tests are a joke- she seriously will confuse the class. she never Is prepared. if you ask her to take an exam a month in advanve because you have a trip coming up she will say no and not let you take it. she is not appropriat
honestly, I didn't purchase the book so i thought that I was going to do worse than I did. At the end, she offered a lot of extra credit which made my grade go from a 88 to a 94. I was so happy with the outcome!
I was so exited to take this course as this is the degree I had always hoped for. Needless to say, I was beyond disappointed with the professor in this class. I didn't have to crack the book and she seemed very scattered as if she does not prepare for her students. Even argued one time about her Tenure in front of everyone. Bummer, easy A though.
She is absolutely disorganized and very slow. The whole class ended up failing an exam due to her confusing lectures, last minute decisions to post material online, and her forgetfulness. I was very hyped up for Sociology, but was sadly disappointed with the outcome this semester. I do not recommend this professor.
She is the worst teacher ever. She is extremely disorganized every single class. Her exams are made from the top of her head and i have caught multiple mistakes in her exams but she doesnt change the grade. She is rude and does not care about her students at all. Half the class got up and left in the start of her lecture. Save yourself some sanity!
TERRIBLE professor. she lost tests and is off topic 90% of the time!! If you want to pass do not take her class! and does not post study guides until the night before the test! I haven't learned a single thing. and we haven't even used the textbook once. don't bother taking notes bc anything lectured is not on the test.
Professor Miller-White is an eccentric genius. What I learned from her in my soc 1 and soc 2 classes, (though i did not do well) have stayed with me for years.
