Stacy Allen is one of those neo feminists, which is whatever. She is into being extremely politically correct and extra careful not to hurt the feelings of any students. Which by watching her walk on eggshells, it becomes hard to watch. The curriculum is very straightforward, repetitive and will be absorbed easily. Take this class if you have no id

Interesting experience. Sociology is similar to studying history, biased and essentially meaningless. Ancient societies were far more advanced, and sociology is just a veil to legitimize the illusion of modern "society".

Prof. Allen is an amazing instructor that truly cares about her students because she is so passionate about her teaching. Her class is very easy, just do the study guides and you are all set to get an A in her class. If you have questions or need help, I highly suggest you to go to her office hours. She is very approachable and caring!!!

A wonderful professor. Really nice and chill about a lot of things. Lectures are pretty simple, she doesn't force you to take notes. She does give credit for participation. In class assignments involve answering questions on videos we watch. Textbook isnt required (didnt need one the whole semester lol) but i recommend it. Overall, a cool class!

Fall 2016 - This teacher is very nice. Do the study questions before every exam because those help a lot. She drops the lowest quiz and exam score. At the end of the semester, on the second to last day, she calculates your grade to see if you need to take the last exam. She is very nice and the class is pretty interesting.

Did not like her teaching style. Instead of confusing criteria, she should just tell people what they need to do to receive a good grade. Doing all the 'mandatory' work will not be all you have to do, and some of the 'extra' work is mandatory. Beware of a 'magic' equation at the end of the semester that will calculate your grade.
