she is the best! class was not difficult at all. Theres two short papers (3-5 pages), one book review(midterm), and the final was a 3-5 page paper. She checks attendance. Also, there are online quizzes on reading but not difficult to pass them! Highly recommend her!

Dr. Tober is an amazing professor and you can tell she is passionate about her teachings through her lectures. Always making jokes at the expense of her kids, keeps it light and breezy during class but takes attendance everyday. Two easy papers, one book review, and take-home final, TA grades everything. Would definitely take again!

Dr. Tober is the best SOC professor I've had here at UCSB! Her lectures are awesome, so much so, that class time flies by. She's got a sarcastic sense of humor, which I loved. She does takes weekly attendance, one reading quiz per week which are pretty easy. Readings are manageable, 2 short papers, a book review, & take-home final. She's the BEST!

Dr. Tober is absolutely the best! I transferred in as a SOC major and was hating the profs in the department. She turned things around for me. She's passionate about the field and her research. Attendance is taken every week, 1 fairly easy online reading quiz per week, and final is a research project which includes every other week assignments.

Professor Tober is definitely one of the best professors I've had in my entire 4 years of undergrad. She speaks very clearly and her lectures are always super interesting and insightful. She makes things very easy to understand, would definitely recommend her to anyone at UCSB! Not a super easy A but if you go to class you'll pass no problem

A bit disorganized (often changes dates) but overall a good teacher. The content of the course is engaging and she is a pretty good lecturer. Read the book for the quizzes, go to class, and get feedback on your papers before turning them in!

No papers.

Tober's lectures are always super interesting and insightful! Her humor made coming to lecture so much Fun-I would definitely recommend. She is very clear and makes the topics easy to understand. Read and study her book before exams and it'll be an A.

Tober literally opened my mind. Her lectures are great, the content is amazing. Midterm and final were easy and the 2 assignments were easy A's. After taking this class you will definitely come out with so much information that is important for ALL majors and in life too if you want to learn how to be a decent human. Highly recommend. Easy A

Tober was a great teacher who used her lectures to encompass a variety of issues. If you keep up with the weekly reading quizzes, then her tests (midterm & final) will seem like complete common sense. I also appreciated that instead of assigning large essays, we just had to turn in two smaller assignments which both had clear and easy directions.

Easily my favorite lecturer that I have taken multiple classes with at UCSB. Keeps class engaging, interesting readings and videos, and super flexible concerning students and their worries. Typical workload for a sociology class, gotta work for that A but it isn't impossible to get.

she's a sweet professor & super understanding of students' situations. the reading journals can feel like a lot of work at times, but they are interesting when learning social theories. midterm was short answers, but she gives you the questions in advance so you can always go to office hours and she'll help you get it before the test day. take her!

by far my new favorite professor at ucsb! i suck at understanding theory but she made it soooo much easier with her explanantions. a few short reading journals due every week but they are interesting so it's not too bad. midterm is a paper and the final is an improved rewrite of the same paper. tober if you are reading this you are awesome!!

One of my favorite classes at UCSB so far. Dr. Tober is so knowledgeable about sociology and the course content is extremely engaging. If you're thinking about taking her class, do it! It's one of those classes that opens up your mind and shows you how the world really works. Amazing professor, amazing class.

Tober is a great, engaging lecturer. The material is interesting but can be a lot. Her exams were mixed multiple choice and free response when I took her class (Spring 2020). Got the grade I got because my TA wasn't the best grader :/

She's so much fun to listen to and makes her lectures very interesting. The content of the course itself is super easy and it's a guaranteed A if you pay attention and participate in section. My TA was also super helpful.

Dr. Tara Tober is the best professor I've ever met (on zoom). I truly wish I took her class in person but due to COVID-19 I'm taking her class online. She is sweet and caring towards her students and her lecture video is funny/informative! 10/5 recommend!

Great class and even a greater professor! You can tell she's really passionate about her work. Really thoughtful and caring. The course was really engaging despite it being remote. Definitely take her class! One of the best professors at UCSB!

Dr. Tober has been by far the best professor I've had at UCSB. She is very understanding and made Soc 1 a very interesting and easy course to take. Throughout the quarter she was caring and funny, and I would definitely recommend taking her class. The course itself isn't difficult as long as you watch the lectures and keep up with the assignments.

Took this class online during the pandemic and she was VERY accommodating. She is truly passionate about the subject and she also talks a lot about current events in her lectures, which keeps it interesting. Gave one short writing assignment that was 10% of the grade and the midterm and final were very straightforward.

Dr. Tober is one of UCSBs best, made me decide to double major in soc. Shes very passionate about what she teaches, and her material is interesting. I think the textbook was the most readable Ive ever been assigned, very informative. She was of my most flexible & considerate professors during remote instruction.

Dr. Tober's class made life easier in such weird times. Her lectures are intriguing & the textbook is probably the most interesting & relatable book I have ever read. If you keep up with the readings & lectures this class will fly by. Weekly discussion posts (instead of live zoom sections) offer great insight & are easy to complete.

Dr. Tober was by far my favorite teacher this quarter. She's very engaging and explains things well, even online. The textbook is easy to read and understand and very up-to-date. I loved this class!

Dr. Tober was one of my favorite professors this quarter. She is very accommodating and her lectures are extremely interesting. The textbook is very up-to-date and I actually enjoy reading it. Definitely take this class!

Weekly discussion forums from topics of the chapter readings. With the weekly chapter readings are about 1 hr prerecorded lectures. Midterm/final are open note. We wrote an 4 paragraph article about a research study, but the TA's are super helpful and give feedback quickly. It was an easy A and I would def take other courses taught by her.

Dr. Tober is an amazing professor!!! I loved her lectures because she explains things so well. The readings were really interesting and so easy to understand! Weekly forums, 4 paragraph paper, and a midterm/final with open notes and book. Definitely recommend taking a course with her!

Doctor Tober explains difficult sociological concepts well. This is an UD class, so you have to dig into the readings/lectures, but her explainations make theory digestible and interesting. 2 short writings assigments every week, midterm, paper, and an easy final. Late work gets half a letter grade deduction each day it is late. Take this class!

Each week there is 1 prerecorded lecture, textbook reading, a forum post responding to a prompt, and 2 responses to classmates but overall manageable. The material isn't hard at all so easy A if you put in the work.

Dr. Tober's class is interesting and not at all difficult. Her grading criteria is very clear and the class is well structured. The exams connect to textbook readings and lectures, and there is only one (short) paper. There are also weekly discussion board posts. I highly recommend Dr. Tober for Soc1!

I loved Dr. Tober's lectures and the class in general, but my TA was kinda strict and unclear with what she was grading on.

Professor Tober seemed really cool, and I wish I could have taken the class in person. The homework/reading load was really manageable and relevant. The textbook was really inexpensive, and we only had to buy the chapters we actually read which was nice. Only one chapter each week to read and the lectures weren't too long. She was super organized.

Lectures are very engaging and made info easy to understand. There was a good amount of reading and note taking needed to do well on midterm and final (MC) but it was interesting. Criteria to succeed was very clear and if you put in an effort you will do well. Weekly chapter reading, one lecture (1hr ish), disc post and respond. Loved Dr. Tober!!!!

I took this class for the area D GE requirement and I highly recommend. Lectures were very interesting, reading was pretty easy (you can just read the summary of each chapter in the textbook and be ok), and the midterm and final had no time limit and was really easy if you watch the lectures.

I did not get the chance to talk to her personally but it's an easy class. It's cute she brings up her husband a lot, he makes guest appearances sometimes. You can tell she is passionate about her field which makes it easy to connect with the material. I enjoyed reading the chapters in the text, personally. 2 papers, mc midterm and final. Keep up.

This has been my favorite class at UCSB so far. Dr. Tober is so passionate about what she's teaching & genuinely cares about how her students are doing. There are weekly forum response posts which seemed hard/annoying at first, but now I kind of love writing them. There was one paper, and the midterm and final are MC and online, no time limit.

I loved this class! May even consider a major in Sociology because the content was so interesting and Professor Tober clearly loves teaching, so lectures are engaging. There are weekly writing posts that aren't too hard to get done and tests are easy.

Very easy A - lectures were posted online, so attendance was not mandatory. Weekly forum posts - as long as you referenced material from textbook & cited correctly you got full points. Midterm & final were open book/note and not timed. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs to fill credit.

weekly 500 words forum discussion, a midterm, a final (both unlimited timing but must complete within one sitting), and a research article essay. The lectures are copies of the reading, so make sure you either go to the lecture or read the textbook. Overall, the lectures are pretty boring. TA matters. Some give solid feedback some don't.

This is an amazing class I tell everyone to take. Tober is an incredibly clear and engaging lecturer. The time would fly because of how interesting the subjects were and she would always incorporate personal anecdotes. This class made me switch to a double major in sociology. Grading is clear+ fairly easy. TAKE THIS CLASS!!

Professor Tober is sweet and an engaging lecturer! SOC1 was an intro class that was very surface level & gave a good overview of sociology. 2 multiple choice midterms (easy, unlimited time), weekly forum posts (500 words), and one informal essay. Grading done by TA. Lecture basically as textbook, so you could skip lecture if you wanted

She is an angel!!!! She is passionate about what she teaches and the sweetest. 2 short essays and a book review but not hard at all!! I love her and her TA is super sweet and helpful as well! Definitely taking more classes w her! 12/10 recommend!

Dr. Tober was definitely one of my favorite professors that I've had at UCSB thus far. Her lectures were relevant, engaging, funny, personable, and extremely informative. I actually looked forward to going to her lectures and hearing what she had to say each week. Highly recommend and hoping to take more of her classes in the future!!

fun and interesting lectures

This class was seriously easy and enjoyable/applicable. Tober is super cool and relatable, and her lectures were great. Work was a 500-word blog post each week based on the weekly reading/lectures, an article-based research paper, and open-book 50 MC for both midterm and final. Little effort needed for an A, wish I could go back and take it again.

I loved this class, and I loved Tober. Her lectures were organized, she used examples from her own life to support the material, and posted stuff online so if you missed class it was no big deal. There's a decent bit of reading each week, but nothing serious, and a weekly forum post that goes off of the material for that week. Def would take again!

The professor is awesome shes very cool and the subject matter is easy to enjoy.

Definitely recommend Tober for any class. Only HW is 500 words a week, but not hard as you can cite lecture as source. Section attendance is mandatory. There is required reading weekly, but not really necessary to do as most if not all midterm and final content is covered in lecture. There is one essay, but TAs really help. Take this class!

Prof. Tober was amazing that I changed my major to soc! Assignments were weekly posts (500 words) but not hard, just make sure to cite correctly! Section attendance is mandatory. The textbook helped me a lot, and each chapter was $1. 1 midterm, and 1 final + 1 essay on a sociological topic of your choice. Super interesting intro course to take!

Class is graded with discussion section, weekly forum posts (500 words), one big essay, a midterm and final. Midterm and final are straightforward; got 100% and 93% respectively. Tober is a great speaker; explains things clearly, tying back to personal anecdotes and sometimes jokes. Get TA Trevor A. if you can!

She was one of my favorite profs! great lecturer, easy 500 word assignments weekly and midterm snd final were very direct

I've taken now 4 courses with Professor Tober. Took Soc 1 with her and it was this course that made me switch into the major. She's honestly amazing and is funny during her lectures. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, DO IT! You won't regret it.

Overall she was a good professor. Attendance wasn't mandatory and it was easy to follow along if you weren't able to make it to class. She assigned 3 papers on social movements and weekly quizzes that were easy if you did the readings. I would take her again!

Professor Tober is great! I have her for soc 1 at the moment, and she's super chill. Her lectures aren't mandatory, the weekly writing assignments are very straightforward(not bad), and it's a very easy gen ed. The lectures are interesting, and I love my ta for my soc 1 section. Reminds me a lot of ap psychology mixed with a history class. 10/10.

Professor Tober's lectures are really interesting and although attendance is not mandatory, I still enjoyed going. There is one 500 word assignment per week and it is not graded harshly. Tober talks about many topics that are relevant to the world today and the exams given are very easy and on material covered in lecture.

Love Dr. Tober! She genuinely looks like she loves what she does. Im never bored in her lectures and she always makes little jokes that lift up spirits. Work amount is chill by just completing 500word forum posts and occasional writing prompts but forums are exempted those weeks. She likes getting student feedback and applies it to her teaching.

Dr. Tober is such a great professor 10/10 would recommend to any sociology major or anyone that is interested in sociology. She cares a lot about her students, weekly 500 word assignment super easy if you do the reading, one essay, and both midterm and final online multiple choice. I really enjoyed her class and her as a professor.

I have taken class with Tober before and It was great, class was easy and she is very considerate and understanding. There is kahoot quiz every Thursday based on NYT news, Two essays, midterm and a final creative project of your choice. One of the essays was a book review that I found challenging but everything else was pretty straight forward.

Graded on online midterm & final, section attendance, weekly forum posts, one paper. Don't BS forum posts; TAs grade fairly but they're not handing you an A. Tober very accommodating given TA strike. Very interesting & organized lectures. Don't know my grade yet (strike) but I think I did well; class was pretty easy and not very time consuming.

Tober is the one professor I've had that seems like she LOVES her job. We had 2 papers, 1 large book review paper, and a final creative project. Our TA was a very harsh grader, but Tober addressed the issues with grading honestly with us, and gave us the chance to fight for the grade we really deserved on papers, which I appreciated.

Tober is super fun and her lectures are super easy to follow. I stopped attending lecture last few weeks and found that they were unnecessary to attend, but section is mandatory with a weekly paper due. my TA was a pretty harsh grader, but otherwise super easy online tests!

Prof Tober was absolutely great and made me want to go to lecture every day. She has a tendency to go off on tangents, but her personality and care for the material makes the class super enjoyable regardless. Grading was based off a take home open internet midterm and final, one short paper, and easy weekly reflections. I would 100% take her again

Professor Tober's lectures are interesting and engaging. She clearly cares about the subject and her students. She's extremely understanding and a very fair grader. Our exams were both take home and open note and book. I took this as a prerequisite as I'm pre-soc, but I would recommend this to anyone needing an extra class.

One of my favorite professors at UCSB. Caring and always willing to help! Class is engaging! Weekly kahoot quizzes super fun and easy. Midterm was easy if you study. Book review and final were fine if you follow rubic and include course concepts.

Professor Tober made this class much easier to understand. We had 5 assignments total and a lot of time is giving to complete them, and we go over a lot of it in class and in section. Attendance is not mandatory but going to class would make it much easier. Shes the best!

very fun! uses modern references to help clarify some ideas or terms. only one discussion due per week, 500 words and involving assigned readings. she gives partial credit on the midterm and also hands out possible questions before. final is a paper regarding a topic of your choice and analyzing with some theories, with no strict page requirement

Professor Tober was really amazing and gave great lectures. She often used real-life examples or told us personal stories connecting to the topics we were studying, which made it much more enjoyable. Definitely one of my favorite professors here at UCSB! The work load was pretty average, as long as you stay on top of things, you will do well.

Prof. Tober is super nice and understanding. This class was really easy and had a pretty low workload (one 500-word forum post a week). Tests and papers are graded very generously and lectures are always entertaining. This class was a theory course, which is always kind of tedious, but she made it interesting with personal stories and jokes.

I loved having prof Tober for SOC 1. Extremely easy GE and attendance was not mandatory. Her lectures were quite interesting though, so I enjoyed attending class. She tied course concepts with present real world events. Online tests, super easy and multiple choice. I wish every class was like this lol.

Professor Tober's lectures are basically based off the online textbook so if you need to skip lecture, you can easily catch up. There are weekly discussions, 2 midterms, a final, and a paper assignment. The midterm and final are both take home online open notes and you have unlimited time to finish them, so overall easy A

super nice and pretty easygoing in terms of grading. midterm and final were both online, and as long as you read the textbook it's easy to get a good grade

Loved Tara so much. Was never much of a history gal, but hearing her lecture about social theorists from the past and connecting their theories to today's society was really cool. Midterm was great, she gave all the questions beforehand to study and left plenty of class time to answer questions. One paper and then a short reflection for the final.

i liked this class. prof tober is always very accomodating and willing to help. weekly NYT kahoots are fun and refreshing, and you can choose what your final will be. grade consists of only a couple things but she gives us a study guide for the midterm so its easy to prepare. mandatory attendance for an 8 am was brutal though.

Honestly this class is not hard at all. There were weekly chapter readings, with a text book that costs one dollar per chapter (super cheap), and one weekly reading quiz. Attendance is not mandatory, but section might be. Also no study guide, but make sure to take notes while reading and learn the vocab. and you will be good. She is super sweet.

Easy class and all her lectures are uploaded. We had weekly NYT Kahoots, 1 essay, 1 book review, and for the final it's dealers choice. For the midterm, she gives a study guide with all possible questions that could be on the exam. Mandatory attendance for 8 am.

super easy class as long as you do the reading and put in some effort should be an easy A. attendance isn't mandatory so i would skip lecture to study for my other classes and still ended with an A. section attendance is mandatory and the class has two exams and one essay along with weekly reading quizzes.

Tober is probably the best Sociology professor at UCSB in myopinion. She explains the theories and concepts of the course very well. Her canvas is easy to understand. There's 2 papers, a mandatory midterm, and one final project/paper. TA grades everything except midterm and final. Just take the course you won't regret it.

take this class!! super interesting lectures but the concepts were fairly easy so not hard to study for. I felt like this class was graded very fairly. I missed half the lectures and still got an A. I would recommend doing the readings each week. she made me have an interest in sociology, plus my TA was awesome!

i loved professor tober. she was an engaging speaker and i enjoyed lecture. the quizzes weren't hard because they were basically open note and the midterm/final was easy if you just studied. she gives a lot of resources for you to prepare for exams. i'd definitely recommend taking her class

Great professor. The lectures were organized and interesting. Midterm and Final were multiple choice and matching answers was fairly easy. Timed quizzes every week based on the readings and if you skimmed the readings it wasn't hard, some were super easy. There was one really confusing and hard assignment but even failing that I still passed.

I would HIGHLY suggest taking Tober for soc 1 if you have the chance! The only reason I received the grade I got i because I didn't study as hard as I could have. Amazing TA's and an amazing class. She never fails to engage with her class and make them excited to learn about soc 1. Theres 1 midterm test and an essay paper then a final.

Lectures were pretty interesting, and Tober is a very engaging lecturer. Weekly homework quizzes were based off of a reasonable amount of textbook reading, but this weekly work can all be done within an hour. Graded by a midterm, final, project, and the HW quizzes, which are all easy given a little bit of effort. Overall, recommend for an easy GE.

Literally the best prof I've had at UCSB. weekly quizzes on readings, 2 essays and 1 final op ed. She dropped 2 quizzes which helped me a lot. She is so real and I appreciate her openness with the material. Lots of respect for her.

There's a reason why she has a 5/5. Take her!!!!!

She's really cool

I really enjoyed intro to soc, as a sociology major, but I would highly recommend it as an easy GE. There was 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 pretty easy project, and easy weekly reading quizzes (but they were online.) There is weekly reading, that's pretty interesting but you definitely don't have to do it to pass.

I really enjoyed intro to soc, as a sociology major, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone as an easy GE. There was 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 relatively easy project, and weekly reading quizzes (online.) The weekly readings were pretty interesting but not necessary to pass. Tober makes lectures very engaging!

Tara Tober is a GOAT. Her lectures feel like professional Ted Talks and are very interesting. You don't need to go to lecture and she posts slides. There is ~50 pages a week of reading, but it was easy to read. You can get away with not reading, and the quizzes are online. One writing assignment that was very short and you could choose any topic.

two required textbooks and weekly reading quizzes. a book review for midterm and final group project instead of final exam. this is my third class with tara tober and she's an amazing professor. interesting class too, so i would highly recommend.

This class is very textbook heavy, but it costs 14$ and you can get a lot of the content from scanning for names, sociological terms, and using the bolder words. You do need to study but it is 1 paper, section, midterm, and final. Biggest problem is she is not clear on what the tests focus on and it can be anything from the textbook or lecture.

very chill class. attendence is not mandatory, but part of our grade is in-class group work (not that bad) assigned on random days. grade book was weekly online quizzes that were very easy, in-class assignments, one book report, and a final project that could be done in a group where you create a social movement proposal. she makes it very doable.

Lectures were interesting, Tober is conversational, material isn't too difficult. Decent amount of rendering, weekly quizzes based on it, one short essay. One midterm and final which are a lot like the quizzes, helps if you study. Overall a pretty easy class and Tober is nice.

I didn't really go to lecture because most of it is a repeat of the textbook (section is too, but that's mandatory) and sometimes she gets into stories so long that you can't get through the lesson. Weekly reading quizzes, one midterm, one paper, and the final. The content is interesting and not difficult to understand. Overall very easy GE

Dr. Tober is amazing I hope to have her again in a future class. Lectures felt unnecessary at times since she only emphasized weekly reading material, but I enjoyed them. Weekly quizzes and readings were simple, be on top of your one paper and you'll be fine. Take studying for midterm and final seriously since they way a ton in grade book!!

Pretty interesting lectures, easy to listen to, and the content's very easy to understand. Study lecture slides for the midterm and final. Chill class!

TAKE SOC 1! I absolutely loved Dr. Tober's class. What I loved most about the class were her lectures. She knows her material so well -- I felt like I was watching a TedTalk. The assignments are straightforward. If you engage, it's absolutely achievable to get an A.

SOC1 with Dr. Tober is EXTREMELY easy. I skipped more than half of the lectures and got an A, because the lecture slides are posted online and are nearly identical to the textbook. On top of that, the content itself is not difficult at all, and mostly common sense. Dr. Tober's lectures were very easy to understand and very very slow paced.

3rd time taking her. She's great! Sometimes she would have classwork to submit, but you should just attend class to receive credit. Quizzes were confusing sometimes, but overall was fine. Group project at the end of the year where we had to organize our own social movement and include class concepts. Def a more lenient and caring professor!

Loved Tober! Material was not boring at all and I always found the lectures entertaining. I got an A in the class - it was quite easy, we had a good TA too. This was one of the only classes that I enjoyed the reading for!!!

I love Tara! SOC 146 Collective Memory was a great class and quite interesting. We haven't gotten our grades back yet, but I am projected to get an A. Easy, short readings. Group assignments at least once a week in class. 2 papers that were very manageable and an in-person final.

easy, a few papers and midterm and final. if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings your good

I love Professor Tober!! I have her for Soc108C and Soc185C this quarter. She has made me never want to skip a class and I stay engaged through content heavy lectures because of the way she presents it! Her classes have truly reignited my passion for sociology and research Grading can be hard but if you study and attend class your fine.

Probably the most passionate professor I've had in a while. Wish she was a little clearer on certain topics in content analysis (finding your research question and literature review), but giving us a content analysis research project on a subject of our choice was really fun. Quizzes were a little tedious but read and you'll be fine.

Super kind and funny professor, very passionate and knows what she's talking about. Pretty easy class, just review the reading and don't forget to take reading quizzes every week. Other than that there's no homework.

She is so fun and interesting to listen to even during my 8 am lecture. Make sure to pay attention to lectures because some of that info will end up in your midterm or final exam questions. If you do/skim over the reading and know the key terms you should be on track to get an A in this course.

Professor Tober is relatable and respectable. Several rules apply to the two essays in the class, but they are very doable. No midterm, just a cumulative final exam with a detailed study guide provided weeks in advance. Group discussion and assignments are weekly with your table group about the assigned readings and due by the end of the class. :)

Great professor, but way too much reading for an international student.

MY QUEEN. I love Dr. Tober and he lectures were awesome, especially for an 8am. Weekly readings and quizzes are a lot, but very manageable. Had a good TA which definitely helped. Good easy into/GE course. Super broad range of content covered which I found a lot of pretty interesting. Tests were not too bad at all.

The professor was animated during the lecture, especially for an 8 am. Attendence is taken with iclicker and will lower your grade ALOT if you skip. There are easy weekly quizzes, and as long as you complete the assigned readings and review before the in-person midterm and final, you will be fine.

Tara is an amazing professor who cares deeply about her material. She is wonderful and keeps her lectures super engaging. The class doesnt have much work and is pretty easy overall. Definitely recommend taking this class.

Definitely recommend if looking for an easy but fun GE. Subject matter was interesting and engaging but was very surface level as she covers a wide range of topics. Easy midterm and final worth 25% each. You'll be fine if you do the weekly readings and attend lecture. Textbook is $1 per chapter and she assigns a total of 9 chapters.

Dr. Tober is overall a good professor. She cares a lot about the subject. The content is simple, but she makes is slightly harder than it has to be. Work: Read 1 chapter per week (~40 pgs). Complete 1 quiz per week (~10 q's multi-choice). Midterm + Final = 50%. To succeed: Text-to-speech chapters. Memorize terms. Review quiz before midterm.

Heavy reading class. Weekly quizzes on the textbook material. Lecture material is different but important, too. iClicker for attendance. Sometimes a lecture can get boring because it feels like "common sense." TAs are nice, mine just summarized. One final small group project. The midterm and final were the same format, but not the easiest.
