She's a young new professor and loves her job! Great professor and is an easy grader. She's chill and laid back and doesn't give many tests. Easy online homework every week and a few tests here and there. Gives a study guide for the midterm and final. Gives you more than one chance to do the homework if you need them but don't abuse this. TAKE HER!

Ms. Durham is a very understanding person. She makes the classroom interesting by relating sociology to real life situations. I like how we have class discussions instead of her just lecturing and the students just listening. Not only does she ask for our feedback so that she can improve things about herself she actually makes the changes.

Professor Durham will give you NO PROBLEMS as long as you come to class, participate, & do the work. Her syllabus entails every assignment in the course except for any extra credit opportunities. One thing I would of appreciated this semester was either more time on our exams or less information on them because I felt myself rushing to complete it.

Professor Simone, You did a great job this semester! You truly care about your students and are always there to help anyone who asks for it. Very respectful. Can joke around but when it's time to work; it's time to work and get that lecture! I've never had a well respected and helpful professor as yourself. Thank you again!

I quote... "Unless you find this class extremely difficult (which I do not feel should be and hope is not the case for any of you), don't drop this class based on your midterm grade without speaking to me first! As long as you are willing to do what's necessary moving forward to pass, I will work with you to help you do so." GOAT or naw?

I took sociology 101 online for the winter minimester & she was great! Due to the winter session being so short we had homework everyday but it was not hard at all. Literally read the selection & answer the question; the questions were opinion based so there were no right/wrong answers. She graded us upon how much effort we put into our responses.

Professor Durham runs her class as a sit down lecture and class response type class. She makes the material very easy to understand and does what a lot of Professors don't do and thats actually teach. The workload is light but there is quizzes every week. She is a very relatable teacher and makes you want to be involved in class discussions.

She is very inspirational and takes her job tremendously serious. Not many professors would sit after class and talk to you for another half hour; to engage on the subject more in depth.

Due to the circumstances of this summer, she was very understanding and was lenient on due dates for assignments. All of the assignments were pretty easy to do, especially if you read the corresponding chapter.

This class made me interested in anthropology! We only met twice a week to review chapter information and all of each chapter's assignments were due every Friday. With it being a summer class, I think the amount of assignments was appropriate and easy to keep up with (5 Vocab Quizzes, 5 Reading Questions Assignments). Overall, an Easy A!

Prof. Durham is an amazing teacher who genuinely cares about students. Her class is quite manageable if you engage with the material - the textbook is useful and unstuck study is a great study tool. Attendance is a must, but the workload is reasonable.
