Excellent teacher. Very interactive class. Easy - only 4 2-page reflection papers - no quizzes! Highly recommend this teacher! You HAVE to take her for Soc 101!
Very helpfull and fair as long as you turn in required assignments. Has Good sense of humor. Great class!
one of the best teachers i've had at mesa ever! 4 easy 2-page reflection sheets - and they're all opinion based, so it's easy to get an a! also, all her lectures are on powerpoint so if you have to miss a class, she'll send it to you through email. take her for sociology 101 and you WON'T regret it!
she was the BEST teacher i've had the pleasure of knowing. real easy to get into the topic and apply it to life. she lets the class have open discussions. all her notes and paper material are on power point, i never had to buy a book. i definitely recommend her.
This teacher trully is one of the coolest teachers ever. Best I've had in college so far. Shes still in school & knows what its like to be a student. Lots of class discussion, so speak up. She's got some pretty radical views which are just right on! She doesnt teach many classes, but she is so cool, u should shedule your classes around *her* class.
this lady is by far my favorite professor at mesa. I was scared to take this class for fear of being bored, but it turned out to be my fav class so far. She doesnt like giving tests but only gave us 2 along w/ 2 papers. she will help you if you have any questions at all w/ anything She is young and actually cool. u wont regret taking her she rocks
I love her and her class. She hardly lectures at you but instead likes class dissuscions. She is super friendly and very clear on what she expects. Plenty of extra credit if needed but the tests are easy. She gives a study guide and allows for 1 page of notes. Her class is a MUST TAKE!
She was a chill teacher. HW was easy if there was any, her projects were easy. Her tests were almost given to you(she tells you everything that is on them, almost). I wasn't interested in the subject but it was ok.
I loved this class. She is awsome. Just write a couple of papers and participate in class and you'll have an easy A. A very intellegent professor that really makes you think about the society we live in. I enjoyed this class so much I think I am going to minor in sociology. Take Professor Kravatz if you can... you will enjoy it!
Great teacher! From her lectures, you won't even need the book. She really makes sure that everyone in the class understands. Fun class. No homework. 2 essays- one on The Matrix and the other on Barbie. Tons of extra credit opportunities. Put in some effort and you are sure to get a good grade!
Professor Kravatz is a rad teacher. She is clear in her lectures and precise on what she wants you to know for the tests. There are 2 essay and 2 tests worth 20 points each. If you attend class regularly you should be fine. She even allows cheat sheets on the tests. The essay's are take home. Great class
Awesome teacher. She really knows her stuff and knows how to teach it. She just makes the material make sense, a very rare thing in teachers. Assignments(couple of essays, couple of tests). are straightforward and manageable. Just go to class, listen, and you'll like it.
Great teacher, two papers (not difficult), two test which were a little challenging but she allows a page of notes. Take good notes and you won't need to purchase the book.
The BEST professor i have ever had. take her and you cannot go wrong.
Great teacher, interesting class. You won't regret taking it.
She is a very good teacher be prepared to take many notes. If you are not there you may not do well on the test. I have taken sociology 125 also I like the class much better than 110. 110 was much more difficult.
This Professor is great at what she does, she is always willing to help and wants the class understands what she is explaining. Very helpful. I will take her again.
1 of the best professors at Mesa.Lectures&class discussions are stimulating. U will learn a lot of enlightening information that shapes your perception about everything around u.very useful info about how democracy is really capitalism,how the rich have all the resources,etc.I enjoyed going to class all the time.Plus,the workload is manageable.
I loved her class. I had never taken a sociology class before, so i didn't know what to expect. She made me really interested in the subject and I'm going to take her class again for SOCO 125. She is super nice and always willing to help. She kept my interest the entire class!!! Very smart and knows the subject very well!!! Take her!!! :)
She is a cool teacher but teaches the class with a strong feminist emphasis.. She almost only uses feminist authors to validate her point.. i can almost guarantee you all the people that wrote she was the best teacher in the world were all women.. Nothing against her but i would go for another prof if you one some balanced perspective on Sociology
I'm not interested in SOC at all but this professor was really nice. She is smart, knows her subject and explains everything clearly. She loves debating with students who think they can challenge her.
She does teach the class with some added feminist issues BECAUSE she teaches those classes as well. I feel that the class is very balanced, and I am not a woman. I had almost no interest in Sociology prior to the class, but I am now considering changing my major.
Great Professor, she knows her sociology and does a great job on explaining it. She has a wonderful personality and wants everyone in the class to participate in the class discussion. I will take her again for another course.
Had an awesome time in this class! Learned so much about social problems in our society.
ONE OF THE BEST CLASSES I HAD ALL SEMESTER! THE CLASS IS ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING, AS LONG AS YOU PARTICIPATE. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD. DON'T BE FOOLED THOUGH, YOU DO HAVE TO WRITE A COUPLE OF PAPERS THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. STILL ONE OF THE BEST CLASSES.
Wow, very nice teacher. I hate sociology and she helped me view sociology in a different way. Don't be fooled you still need to do some work. If you need to take sociology, take her class you won't be dissapointed.
She does a good job teaching her subject. The only thing is that she swears waaay too much, it's not very professional and it really turned me off.
she lectures in modern language and does swear quite a bit but it suites the discussion. there is no reason to buy the book, except for the first chapter. she doesnt think about a students budget, they wouldnt buy that edition at buyback. she teaches socio and is great! take her!but she just doesnt seem to practice what she preaches =/
Sitting in her class feels like talking to your friend about sociology. If you attend class, participate, and listen to everything she talks about, REVIEW YOUR NOTES, you'll get an A.& she does care about student budget. she allows old editions of text. mine...$8. one con: entry level class so class discussions aren't very enlightening. LOVE HER!
One of the best teachers I've had in college. Really cares about her students and you can tell that she really enjoys teaching. Very clear with what she expects in assigned papers and lectures are easy to follow. For the midterm and final, she allows you to use 1-sided page of notes. An easy A if you take good notes and attend every lecture.
Meant to put a 4 rating for easiness in the previous rating.
She gives extra credit and allows you to use one page of notes for the exams. There were only two papers due and a midterm and exam. Watched the movie the matrix and another film. Pretty boring but easy class if you went and reviewed notes.
I took DR. Kravatz for Social Problems (SOCO 110) and I must admit this class is difficult in general but she is very helpful and she explain her material well. There is extra credit (try to advantage of that, you'll need it). I highly recommend her for soco 110. My sister took the same class with Adelson and she barely made it.
Professor Kravatz was a great professor. Her exams are easy... she gives you a list of 8 and she chooses 4 of them. This class was easy compared to the other soci classes i've taken. I highly recommend her. She is hilarious.
Good teacher. Always will answer questions and is very approachable. You really don't need the book, but definitely take notes. If you have all the notes, the tests are a breeze. She's really... opinionated, but it didn't bother me a whole lot.
I took this class just to have full time status and it ended up being my favorite class. Good assignments, good exams, and fair grading. She's probably one of the best professors I've had at Mesa.
She's very laid back and understanding but knows her stuff. You don't need the book as long as you attend lecture and take notes. However, come into the class open minded. Don't waste others' class time arguing with her about how YOU think things are. It has happened. Also, lots of E.C. opportunities and a cheat sheet for exams.
Easy easy easy class. There were people complaining that sounded ridiculous. "Oh, I read online that it's an easy A, but this is really hard!" Whatever, I got close to perfect scores on EVERYTHING, and I barely even tried. She has kind of a wacked-out view on Marxism, but whatever. She's very straight-forward and easy to learn from.
I love Professor Kravatz! She does speak very casually and tends to swear often, but who doesn't love that? She has very precise prompts for papers which are very helpful, and allows 1 sheet of notes for tests/one side only. Take good notes!
The best teacher I have ever had a Mesa. I am taking another one of her classes next semester. She really knows her stuff and lets the students openly discuss the material. Amazing professor.
Class participation is key. It doesn't matter with her if your a genius you still have just of an opportunity to do well as anyone. She's awesome, and understanding that students are busy. You will learn alot on in her class, just pay attention and participate. She's definitely the ideal professor!
i love prof kravatz! all her essay assignments she goes through them so clearly it's hard to get an F. she cusses a good amount during lecture but it's hilarious. she has a sick tatt on her left arm and she talks about interesting topics.. she gives study guides for every exam and u can use 1 page notes front side. SHES AWESOME! TAKE HER!
good prof
i have taken all of her classes and abosolutly love Tanya! she is by far my favorite teacher i have ever had. takes time to explain. is always there for you and kinda funny! TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! i have taken intro to socio, contemporary social problems and socio of the family! cant get enuf wish she had more options!!!!
GREAT TEACHER, FUN AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. SHE IS EXTREMELY LIBERAL AND CAN BE HARD TO LISTEN TO SOMETIMES. BIT I FEEL IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO BE EDUCATED IN ALL WAYS. THE CLASS IS VERY INTERESTING. TAKE IT YOU WONT REGRET IT JUST PAY ATTENTION AND USE CRITICAL THINKING. DON'T TAKE EVERYTHING AT FACE VALUE. SHE IS STILL ONE OF THE COOLEST PROFESSORS
I have taken three of Tanya's classes and she has been my favorite teacher at Mesa! She is funny and knowledgable about what she is teaching. BEST TEACHER EVER!
Awesome professor! Very helpful. Show up to class and use to the tools she gives you, and you will have no problem receiving an A.
Dr. Kravatz is awesome! Just take notes ans you are good to go. You can use one page of notes for exams. If you struggle at all go to her office hours and she will help you. Take her class!!!
Pretty cool. Helpful & wants you to succeed. Easy to get along with too. Take good notes & then regurgitate those notes & you'll do well. 1 mid term, 1 8 pg paper, & 1 final. Both tests are essay, but gives you the possible questions ahead & you can use 1 pg (front only) of notes. Have to try hard to fail. Wasn't my subject at all but I did well.
Dr. Kravatz is a really cool and open minded teacher. She really opened my eyes to communism and socialism. She writes the class notes on the board as she teaches and allows you to have 1 pg of notes during the test. The tests are mult choice for 101 and there are only 2 papers and 2 tests in the semester. Overall easy but you do have to show up.
She is one of my favorite teachers at SD Mesa. She teaches and interacts with students very well. She writes the lecture on the board. She allows laptops for note taking. I had her for Sociology 110 (soc problems) and 125 (soc of the Family). I definitely recommend her
She is an awesome teacher. Her lectures are enjoyable. There are some group project that are easy. The test might be a little hard but if you read your test book you should be fine. There are 2 essay to write but they are easy.
Great teacher! Enthusiastic! Those who say the tests are hard didn't take good notes. She lets you use one page of notes on the test! I've gotten A's on every test and I don't even have a textbook. If you go to her class, take notes of what she's writing down, you'll do amazing. The tests are from the notes. Plus her class is FUN!
This class wasnt too bad, but some of the viewpoints discussed in class were pretty bizzare. I guess thats sociology for ya..
She is an excellent professor. Everything on the test is explained in class so unless you aren't showing up, you shouldn't have any reason not to get an A or a B. Another thing to note is that I didn't use the textbook ONCE this semester and I was bout 2% away from an A. On top of that, sociology is a fascinating subject! Take her class. :)
Great teacher and very enthusiastic about sociology! Very caring and easy to talk to as well. She also helped shaped my thinking and viewing of the world by covering inequalities of education and race. Definitely recommend her class!
Awesome, smart teacher. No homework and tests come from lecture. She basically types a study guide on projector for lecture. So come to class, take notes and get an easy A. I would take her again. Strict attendance and tardy policy that she enforces the semester.
Great professor. Super chill. Allows one page of notes on exams. Rarely gives extra credit, but when she does, it's easy. Attend class, take notes, study, and you'll pass.
Take. Her. Enough said. Just do it!
Wow! Kravatz is my favorite professor! I have learned so much in her class. She is very inspirational and she's hilarious when she curses in her lectures! Haha! Definitely take her if you are a Socio or Behavioral Science major! And once again, she's a phenomenal teacher! I left and finished her class a changed person. Take Sociology with Kravatz!
Her class is really easy and she lets you use a one page cheat sheet for all her tests. She doesnt use powerpoints, she lectures freely which was hard for me at first since im use to learning from powerpoints. But she is a great professor and i would recommend her to everyone !!!
She is very easy. Her lectures aren't boring either. I took her class and actually enjoyed going each time. You get a cheat sheet for the exams.
She is very helpful and clear about what she wants and how to get an A.
Show up, attendance is big in the beginning and the test is cake with her lecture notes. Great discussions. Cheat sheet on exam. Easy A and fun class
She cares for her students as well as you involve yourself in lecture :) she allows cheat sheets for all test even the final. Easy class just attend, TAKE NOTES, and read the textbook you'll do fine :D
Great professor! Very knowledgeable, explains expectations clearly, and approachable. 4-5 tests, no hw, one group project. 1 paper of notes permitted for tests, which cover things directly from the book and notes. I really enjoyed this class and recommend it to others.
It's a very easy class. I attended all the classes but you don't have to. I barely even opened my book because I got everything from the lectures. She's super nice and tries to make class fun, she really chill. You get to use a cheat sheet on exams. Her classes are pretty interesting as well. I just used this class for credits but it was very fun.
Very good professor. class and tests are pretty easy. just an overall chill person.
I love Professor Kravatz! The stuff you learn is pretty straightforward. She likes to talk to her students so don't be afraid to say anything! She's the chillest teacher. We have 1 sheet 1 sided page of notes for the exams (about 3-4 for the semester). We have 1 group project w/ evals. Pretty easy/fun/chill class to pass!
Great instructor, makes class fun and loves to engage in class discussions. Gives you study guide and allows 1 page cheat sheet. 1 group project (no group got less than a B+) and she will go over your essay questions with you if you go to office hours. Great sense of humor and very down to earth. She knows it's an intro class and treats it as such.
very chill teacher. She lets you have one page of notes for the tests. progressively gets harder through the course but study and you'll do just fine!
I absolutley adore her! I'm currently enrolled in one of her sociology courses and it is by far the class I enjoy most. I really understand it she teaches in a way that is great with my learning style, she's extremely helpful and straight forward about things. Her class is always interesting and engaging. She is laid back and not afraid to be real.
I LOVED THIS CLASS! Made me switch my major to Soc. Her lectures didn't feel like lectures because they were so interesting and always funny. We always talked about things that were current and she always gave really good real-life examples. You get 1 pg of notes for each test so USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE! I wish I could take her class over & over!
Kravatz was great! Loved this class! The entire class always got really into the lectures and she's really good at keeping it relevant and interesting. You get to use a "cheat sheet" on the tests and she practically gives the answers. The final paper wasn't that bad and the group project was fine. The class was super interesting and I loved going!
Kravatz is AMAZING!! She is so funny and very nice. Everything on the test is discussed in class. 2 Mid terms + final + group project. You can use a page of notes on the test. Gives out a study guide. Write down everything she writes down. Makes class fun and interesting. She's open to class disscussion so discuss! I wish I could take her again.
Three tests and a group project. Allows you to use one full page of notes for the tests. Copy down everything she writes on the board!!!! Very clear, but the tests do get a little more difficult, but that's how a class is suppose to be. Very open minded and is up to discussion.
Shes really laid back. Let her talk, she knows her stuff but sometimes theres no filter!! But that is what makes her class awesome. You can truly speak your mind and ask questions without judgement. Shes awesome, testsassignments are easy, just have to study. If i was a sociology major, id take her classes until i graduated!
The class material can be depressing, but Kravatz keeps it real and calls people on their bs. She is funny, well informed, and helpful if you have a problem. Take her class.
Fair grader. Tests are ok, just study a bit. She lets you use a page of notes for the test so really you can make it as easy as you want to. Very approachable and pleasant. No complaints here.
I liked the set up for the classes and the discussions we have! Her exams are free response questions but she lets you know what they are ahead of time. Beforehand, you can go to her office and she'll tell you what she expects in the answers you brought. Taking good notes will really save you, as they're allowed! Took her for SOCO 101 as well.
Awesome teacher! I had her for 101 and 110. One of the most interesting classes I have had the pleasure to be in. I recommend her to everyone. You cover a good amount of material, but most of it is covered well during lecture.
Prof. Kravatz was the funniest professor I had in my first semester! She was straight out, and hilarious! The lectures actually make sense because she relates them to society, and to things that surround our world today. The midterm isn't so hard, and she lets you have A CHEAT SHEET! Take good notes! I actually learned a lot from her. Loved her!!
Kravatz is one of the coolest teachers I've ever had. She's very honest and open about her past and struggles and can tie it into the lecture. She likes to have conversations with students during lectures so come to class with stories. She lets you have a cheat sheet for all the exams. She's hilarious and appreciates students who share in class.
Very amazing teacher. Has interesting lectures, talks a lot about current topics, and is easy to joke with. She has very clear grading criteria and lets you use one FULL page of notes for every exam. As long as you do the readings, you are set for this class.
Hands down, one of the best professors at Mesa. Super funny and down to earth, plus very knowledgable in her field. You get a full page of notes for the exams. As long as you attend lectures and write good notes, its an easy A.
Her class is super interesting and she is also very funny! She only has 3 tests, gives out study guides. They're not easy but not super hard either. Group project for a final. Super nice and would take her again!
I feel like I almost never get to say this (from a SD Mesa professor): she's one of the best professors I've ever had. She's super informative, while being funny. She keeps things interesting, while keeping things light. Obviously sociology makes you look at things from a different angle BUT she changes the game (course) for the way it's taught.
Her lectures are amazing. Wonderful person! Loved every single second of her class. Lectures are interesting and controversial, as it suppose to be. Very honest. Participate and have fun!
Kravatz allows you to have a full page cheat sheet for her tests, a group project, and no essays. Her lectures include many anecdotes and her students are very interactive. Because of her class, I decided to take up on sociology at a university. Very successful in her teaching!
I took her in summer and we basically had 3 tests which we could bring a cheat sheet with us. and a group project with 4 paper written. She love discussion through the topics. choose a good group because later your participation points will come from that. She is a very good understanding prof. I would take her again once more.... SHE IS THE BEST3
Amazing professor. She can really change your perspective of the world if you engage with the class. If you pay attention and take notes this is not a hard class and will be your most interesting. Can not recommend the course and the professor enough.
By far one of my favorite professors! She is very funny and engaging. I was afraid her different political views would be a problem, but she gets along with everyone regardless of gender, religion, politics, etc. Group projects suck, but come to class and take notes, you'll do fine. I've taken so much away from this class and highly recommend it.
Prof. Kravatz will make you excited for the class. She has an open mind and makes really interesting points about society's constructions that will make you think in a different way. No homework.. just take notes and study before each of her 3 tests and you should be floating by with an A.
Prof. Kravat was an amazing professor! I took her for Soc 110 and 101. both the classes have similar structure. there were only three tests and a group project at the end. there is no homework and as long as you show up for class and study a little bit you'll get an A
She is a great professor! Truly cares about the subject she's teaching and the students in her class. She never lets her personal views get in the way of seeing other perspectives and is very knowledgeable about sociology. No homework, always postpones tests and one group project at the end. Easy A.
I love her class, she is really funny!!! I love the group project and the whole style of lectures. You get a cheat sheet for exams, but she is very smart on making her test so, my suggestion is to read and study.
I always look forward to this class, the lectures are really interesting and her stories are wacky.
Professor Kravatz was absolutely amazing, her lectures are always really interesting and I took so much away from her soco 101 course. Exams are straight forward, and she allows you to use a cheat sheet, would definitely take her class again.
THE best professor I have ever had. The things I would do to have a professor like this for every class. Inspirational. Honest and hilarious.
Professor Kravatz is an amazing teacher. She is so funny and makes the class fun and easy to follow along. Attendance is taken but she is lenient if and when you need to miss class. I didn't use the book at all. Her lectures cover everything on her tests. If you skip a class, just get the notes from a friend! loved this class
She is very funny and open which I loved. Cancels class a lot. Great lectures and she sheds light on issues that need more attention. She allows notes for the test so they are easy and one paper at the end that is broken up into parts, so it's not that bad. You'll want to be there for her lectures!
Notes are super important to pass this class to make a friend if you won't be there every day. Lectures are low key, interesting and make you think. She skips class a lot so make sure to check your email to see if the class is canceled. Don't buy the textbook, if you go to class you don't need it.
She always has a new story for you, easy A, she gives good feedback and tests are easy if you study and have your one page of notes.
Professor Kravatz is absolutely amazing. She always has a new and entertaining story and is so kind to everyone! She is so real and raw and I always feel at home in her classroom.
Honestly you won't regret having her. Professor Kravatz is so down to earth and uses real life example in her lectures which helps understand. Literally zero homework, and she let us have one page of notes for the test! Show up and takes notes and you'll pass the class. Awesome professor, 100% would take her again.
Great professor but cancels class a lot. Her lectures are so interesting and she gives many opportunities for student input. I would take her for every subject if I could.
Most amazing teacher Ive ever had. Her lectures are so interesting and has so many cool personal stories that she shares. Lets you use notes on exams. She does cancel class a lot, but still 110% recommend her! EASY A!
She is quite liberal in her lectures. Doesn't mind getting into the dark side of sociology. Don't miss her class because notes are important for the exams. One group project and for final, had to write an essay. Her exams are multiple questions and three or two mini essay questions (not hard at all, I would write one paragraph). Recommend.
Super funny. Super passionate. Only 2 exams. Able a cheat sheet. One was open note. One group project at the end. Laid back presentation with group. Not everybody has to present. All information comes from the book. Avalible for office hours. & Gives extra credit options multiple times. Definitely take her if you need to take sociology!! NO HW.
Professor Kravatz is awesome. Be warned though, she cancels class a lot, sometimes without giving the class a heads up. Because she cancels class so much, we only had two exams and the final was a take home. NO HOMEWORK. She curves the exams but my advice would be to actually go to class and take good notes because you can use them on the test.
I took her for honors 110 and 101 lemme tell yall shes the best hands down I was taking her for my major prep but ended up switching my major!!! much love for her!!!! :-) Ill make a separate rating/explanation for each class rn BUT TAKE HER 11/10
I took her course During fall 2018 and she is amazing! I wish she could teach all of my sociology classes . She is a very understanding, funny, and caring person. She is the type of professor that you wish every teacher you have could be like her. She is passionate about teaching and her class is very interesting! Tip:TAKE NOTES! very helpful.
I have taken different sociologies with her and she is AMAZING! You can tell she is very passionate about her job by listening to her lectures. She hits uncommon grounds and is not afraid to talk about any topics because she'll make it relevant to sociology. I was never a fan of school but because of her I looked forward to coming to class. 13/10
Professor Kravatz has sush a passion for sociology. She truly knows what she is talking about and is also available for office hours if you didnt understand something. I would highly recommend her any sociology class.
Professor Kravatz is one of the best teachers I've ever had! She's incredibly entertaining and very real. She rambles sometimes but it's never boring! I'm not sure how much I learned about sociology but I definitely enjoyed the hour and a half that I spent with her!
Professor Kravatz is a great Sociology Teacher. She cares about her students and her lectures are interesting. Her class can be a little challenging but if you show up and do all of the assigned work, youll be fine. Shes definitely one of the best professors that Ive ever had.
A very eye-opening class. Combination of lecture and open discussions. Kravatz is funny and insightful. Can get a little off track but that is because she discusses the topic with students. 2 exams and 1 final. Provides study guides. No homework or quizzes. Curves the tests. 1 group project. Cancels class pretty often. Definitely take notes!
Great professor lectures are interesting and tests are super easy because of the guide she gives before every exam and besides you get to use a cheat sheet on every exam.
She is amazing! I really enjoyed taking her Soc 110 class. If you do the work and show up to class, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. She lets you use a sheet of notes for each test and the final is a group paper and presentation. She was super understanding of some personal issues I had over the course of the semester as well.
1 extra credit 2 extra pts. 3 tests. No one quizzes. 1 group project. Team members grade each other. Allowed one pg cheat sheet for the tests. Wording her questions are sometimes confusing. You have an idea of what the questions are, but at the same time youre unsure. Answer 2 of 6 short essay questions, T/F questions, multiple choice
I love Professor Kravatz!! Her class was by far the most fun to take. Her lectures are Marx-heavy--so interesting. TAKE HER CLASS! She is the BEST soc professor ever ever ever!!!
Professor Kravatz is an amazing person, she is caring and funny. Easy to talk to, she does one group project and your own group grades you, and 2 exams and one final. If you study you will pass !Make sure you take a lot of notes !!
TAKE HER FOR SOCIOLOGY, SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She is so nice, she genuinely cares about her students and she helps you with whatever you don't understand. She's soo funny, take her you wont regret it .
Dr. Kravatz is a great professor. She is passionate about Sociology. I never thought Sociology was interesting but after taking her class I found it really interesting and I learned some things I never thought I would. I highly recommend taking her!!
Really solid professor. Super relatable and funny, lectures were so interesting. Really enjoyed it.
This is by far one of the easiest GE requirements to take. Youll learn some very interesting topics and have fun doing it. The professor is super chill easy grader. She lets you have a one sided paper filled with anything you want on the tests. As long as you take good notes and use the study guides she has youll get an A or at least pass!
Easy A, great professor with a nonchalant and approachable attitude. Dr. Kravatz has a way of relating to her students that does not occur very often these days. I felt excited to go to her class. She inspired me!
She is so caring for students! I wished I could take her for all of my sociology classes! She gives 3 exams, no hw but a little bit of reading in text books and lecture notes. She is a great educator and very understanding for student needs. Take her class and you'll pass!! Just do your reading and pay attention in class. She is AMAZING!!
She is amazing! Take her because she is passionate about SOCO! She is approachable and really cares about student success! I took her class in person & moved to online due to this pandemic. Her lectures are clear and so is her grading criteria. 3 exams which consists of multiple choice and essay papers. She gives you the key, you just unlock it!
She is amazing! I was nervous at first because it was an Honors course but if you study and pay attention, you will be fine! There are tests with short essay questions but if you know the material, you will get an A! Take her! What you learn will change your perspective as an individual for the better.
She is an awesome teacher! Truly has the most down to earth nature. Teaches us everything we need to know to succeed. Very straight forward. Three tests and she is wonderful as a person. One of my favorite professors at Mesa College. She a no bs kind of lady which is great. Just attend her lectures as there are important dates that might be revised
Professor Kravatz is a very laidback yet assertive professor. She is easy to talk to and is always open to the students feedback during zoom meetings. Grades were based solely on exams and the few discussion posts we had. Each week we were expected to read a chapter from the textbook, along with any extra articles she had provided.
She is an amazing professor. Attendance is not super mandatory but she does take attendance during class. I would reccomend you to show up to class because the lecture is not even that long and she makes it interesting. She also cares about all her students and makes sociology interesting. She is also very hip and fun to talk to :)
Fun, understanding, and easy-going professor! She explains concepts very well and applies them to current events, making it easier to understand. Lectures are open-discussions so anyone can ask or make comments. The only assignments due were discussion posts and exams. Make sure to read textbook and additional articles she provides. Learned a lot!
Nice person but doesn't cover anything in book or her handouts! Only talks about whats in the news. Meets 8 times for 16 week course. Cancels class a lot & reschedule. Total of 5 homework essay question assignments worth 5 points each & 3 tests worth 25 points all essay questions which are from her handouts & chapters in book she never goes over!
Took this class last spring. She is very understanding and you can tell right away. The lectures/study guide is exactly like the tests. Her lectures are engaging and she presents it in a way that makes time fly by. I highly recommend her if you need to take this class as a gen-ed.
During class she didn't lecture about anything related to what we were learning and going to get tested on. She focused on all of the current events (election, BLM,), and pushed her own beliefs and agenda on the students. I felt that if I did not align with her beliefs on the tests that I would not have received a good grade. Very disappointing.
I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot and all of the discussion we had were extremely relevant to everything happening in our daily lives.
Professor Kravatz is very passionate about what she teaches and overall makes the course fun. By far one of my favorite classes Ive taken at Mesa. There are a total of 3 exams and a few discussions. Make sure to review lecture notes as they key to passing the exams as well as the additional articles posted. Take this course, you won't regret it!
This class is super easy if you do the readings, you'll pass. 3 EXAMS 75% grade, 5 discussion boards (super easy) 25% grade. The exams get a little tricky so be sure to pay attention to the modules. One thing is that the prof. was hard to get a hold of, would write e-mails and she'd respond 2 weeks later. Other than that, very well organized.
Loved this class! 5 discussion boards & 3 exams. I definitely recommend reading all articles provided & also the textbook. Do the work/ read & youll get an A (:
Best professor yet! 5 discussion and 3 essay exams such amazing lectures. she is understanding, however, don get in her bad side! meaning don't plagiarize on the exams because she will give out F's and report you. other than that she is very compassionate and understanding. ASK FOR HELP when needed. she is there for us to be successful. SHE amazing
Absolutely loved this class. Zoom lecture every other week and was impossible not to pay attention. She explains everything she teaches with definite interest and passion. One discussion a month. One exam a month. Definitely would take this class with her again.
Course-wise, it's fairly easy with just 3 exam essays and a few discussions. If you want to pass, just make sure to do the readings. Professor Kravatz is genuinely passionate about what she teaches and her lectures are engaging, but not too difficult nor boring to follow through.
Her lectures are always fun and interesting, more like a discussion. Interesting material as well. There are readings, but they're not too heavy. I rented the book and did not use it at all, you can do very well and get everything you need from the reading materials. She's very nice and caring. Wonderful teacher and I recommend her class!
Prof Kravatz is the type of professor that makes you look forward to class. She is really amazing at explaining the criteria in a way that will allow you to understand complex concepts. The exams are written but she gives a rubric that tells you specifically what she wants. She is amazing and knows how to engage a class.
Great Professor that really cares about the subject. Very liberal and has great personal stories. Very clear about her expectations. 5 Discussion boards and only 3 tests (essays) based on her lectures which she reviews with the class to ensure everyone understands. You would have to be a complete idiot not to pass this class with an A.
Such an amazing professor who speaks with passion and really wants her students to do well and understand the content.
Very fun, open, and understanding professor. She speaks her mind and her passion for others is astounding! She respects all views and has amazing views herself. Her lectures are where it is at and where you will gain most to all of your information for the course from. I did do zoom. Would definitely take another class of hers, if needed be.
Her lecture is very engaging. I never wanted to miss class cus the lectures are good. and she adds her own life stories. There are only 8 homework assignments and three exams, which she explains and goes over really well.
Excellent lectures, the professor types everything she talks about in class and does a great job of going over tests, so her class is impossible to fail if you pay attention. everything she covers in her lectures is relevant and on point when it comes to taking her tests so taking notes is a must! Best teaching techniques I have ever seen!
She is a fantastic professor. I loved this professor. she is super helpful and funny.
She is super caring and easy to get along with. I loved her class. She is helpful and understanding
Prof. Kravatz is super funny, sweet, and down to earth. She is a kick*ss, strong woman and is willing to talk about anything! Sociology 101 really opened my eyes into how our societies/cultures are structured, why we do what we do, and how we interact as humans. Your tests are actually mini essays, please do them as they count a lot!!
This professor at least online, is super easy. Like you barely have to do your work, easy... I don't know if that is good or bad... All I know is that if you have a heavy school load and need to take this class, do it online and it's like you're not even there.
If you can take her in person, DO IT. She is so funny and authentic but also gives a great, neutral sociological perspective. Great exam review and the hw/ discussions are thought provoking. She has been one of my favorite professors here at Mesa and knows students have lives outside school. She's great across the board. Highly recommend.
Amazing professor that had interesting lectures that I learned a lot from. gives out weekly discussion posts with essay exams which she will prepare you for. She deeply cares about students often giving due date extension with no penalties. highly suggest taking her class.
The professor is super caring and makes the material engaging. With only a few assignments and exams that she thoroughly reviews, it's easy to do well. I found Unstuck study really helpful for preparing for the tests.
One of the best professors I've ever had. She is so caring, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. While the exams she gave were kind of hard on the mind (you really have to think and know what you're talking about), she gave me the support I needed to help further develop my critical thinking skills (necessary during this time). Take her!
Took Prof. Kravatz's SOC110 course during the Spring of 2023 so this is a late review but she is one of the most fun, caring, and supportive professors I have ever taken. Exams are usually based on lectures and they are relatively simple and less-stress inducing if you take notes. Assignments are simple, straightforward and provide helpful feedback
Super easy online class. Grades were determined by a few discussions and 4 exams. Exams consist of 5 questions, short answer. Really easy. Highly recommend this class if you are taking another one that is material heavy; sometimes you forget about this one lols. Interesting info, I like how she added her own lecture notes :]
