Ill take her again next semester for whatever she teaches. She's funny & class is always interesting. Its a big class but she always tries to get us to participate. Her tests are really hard. You have to read the book! she doesn't teach the whole book. & even if she was terrible, just looking at her makes the subject interesting.

I would love to take any of her classes. Her class was very fun and i looked forward to class everyday. She doesnt have an attendance policy and doesnt care if you dont show up to class but everyday we had a packed lecture hall. We had many interesting dicussions in class about a vast majority of topics. I LOVED this class and would take it again.

She is a really good teacher. She makes sure that everthing is being understood. There isn't an attendance policy but her class will make you want to show up. As long as you turn in your writings and read the book you will pass.

Shes funny & yes hot but shes also super smart. everybody loves her class thats why everybody always comes to class eventhough there isnt a attendence policy. Oh and other guy, shell tell you where her statistics come from if you ask her. ive done it when i used something she said in a paper for another class.

Best prof.Ive ever had. She is a really good teacher, knows her subject and actually likes her students. She encourages us to have our own opinions rather than spout back her opinion to her. Shes a really hot and nice feminist. Apparently they do exist. Shes the first feminist Id actually want to date and I dont care that shes 10 yrs older than me

BEST TEACHER AT UWG! GREAT CLASS & LOVE HER! Must read the book, go to class and the writing center to get an A. You'll learn alot about our society. She's not easy. she'll help you anytime you ask. She makes horrible topics like racism fun. She's always happy - never in a bad mood. If your a dude-shes the prof youve been dreaming about

This class was easy if you did your project and you do your writings. The tests are mostly from the powerpoints. Reading def helps. The project is easy but don't wait till the last min to do. You ll look forward to coming to this class. It's fun and interesting. You may become a feminist though if you're not one already:)

HORRIBLE CLASS!!!!! She is a good person, but I do not agree with her teaching style at all! I made an A in this class, but I was not impressed at all with her.

She was the best professor I ever had. Everything was broken down to a level of understanding and she is willing to go the extra mile to help you.

GREAT prof! wish they were all like her. im not a fan of soci but she made class intersting and fun. its not an easy A but its not hard either. go to class, read the book, do the work, and youll get an A. and shes freakin HOT - she totally does look like a barbie.

Loved this class, and absolutely loved having Parsons she is my favorite professor I have ever had at West Georgia

GREAT! lectrue class but lively. never boring-funny, really knows the subject, & helpful but strict. unlike other profs-not in love with her own voice. she likes students to talk & brings guests. shes humble-has no idea how pretty & smart she is or that everybody luvs her. EX:last guest speaker-clearly enchanted by her. yet she doesnt believe it.

I took this class online. Mrs. Parsons requires alot out of her students and in our virtual classes she encouraged discussion. I would recommend this class online if you are comfortable with online classes. We had 4 1-page papers, 8-discussion posts, around 8-virtual classes, online quizzes and a Final. Take this class!!!

she is the best professor i ever had.if any one wants an easy A i suggest you take her.

She was great to have. You have to abide by her guidelines and rules or else. She's strict in a sense but it's a good thing. There's a fieldwork assignment at the end and you need to do and don't bs it. She's a good teacher for Intro. to Sociology

She makes class very entertaining and i found myself wanting to go to class. However, it is NOT easy to pass, she grades based on 100 points. You have 5 quizes each worth 5 points and they are all or nothing. I failed one quiz so far and make 70 to 80 on her ONLINE 10 question tests and so i prob will end up with a C. :(

She's a really fun teacher and she makes class entertaining. Attendance is no required but she gives quizzes at random so its best to show up, and you have to read to pass them.

Great teacher! She is really fun and young so it's easy for her to relate to us. She doesn't like coming in on Fridays so she usually gives online classes. There are 4, 10 question online tests that take 10 minutes to take, but it you read and study they're pretty easy. The big participation project takes time, but wasn't terrible. I reccomend her.

Professor Parsons is very unique. While I loved her somedays and thought the class was easy, other days I despised her and hated the class. I ended up makeing a high A in the class, but the time allowed for the tests was a tad bit rediculous I believe.

she's awesome! very nice and cares about students. if you can't follow instructions then you're the idiot. for online you have to do a lot on your own. she's not going to hold your hand and spoon feed you the stuff. but she explains everything alot and if you ask for help she's super helpful. can't wait to take her in person in the fall.

Parsons is a great prof. maybe the best ive ever had at UWG. she loves the subject and teaching. she doesn't give extra credit or take late work etc, but if you do what you're supposed to she's not hard. I am changing my minor to women's studies because of her and the class.

Great teacher and great classroom topics!...take her, simply do her work and you'll Ace her class, it's not hard at all. Oh yea, and please read the text she assigns!

Learning Modules are very long. Must work hard to receive A, but it is possible. No work is accepted late!

Super easy! I took it online!! She communicates very well!!! Just make sure you actually do the reading and watch the videos!! All the material she gives you pertains to what you are doing!!!

Take this teacher if you honestly want to know how driven you are as a student. Professor Parsons is a great teacher who tells you what she expects from you as students at the beginning of the semester. She really loves Sociology and you can tell during her lectures.

This ws my first class I took with Parsons and I must say it completely changed my lazy, just get by attitude. I have studied, read, and done my best to keep up with everything. I am taking her for 2 classes in Spring and now know that I can and will get an A in those. YOU WILL LEARN! Def recommend her!!!

i was totally struggling in the class and she did tons to help me. she was strict but very helpful. id take her again.

Awesome. Very clear about what to do and when. Everything very organized. Responds to emails fast. Not easy. Must watch all the videos and stuff. No late work.

Took the class online and it was a lot of work. More than my other online classes. As long as you do the work and pay attention you will pass. I believe her grading scale is more challenging than other teachers on her discussion questions.

Awesome teacher. Not easy, but interesting and you learn. don't use cell phones in class. she takes them away if she sees you. She's as not boring as possible in a core class. And, you do learn stuff.

Hard but good

I was weary of taking her class at first due to her ratings on here, but decided to take a chance on her, and thank god I did. Prof Parsons has become one of my favorite profs after this semester. She's funny and super laid back. Yeah, you have to put forth some effort for your grade, but it's super manageable considering most of the work is online

Many ppl complain about parsons' class, but she is not a hard professor. She JUST GIVES OUT A LOT OF WORK. IF you're not ready for this workload, do not take her class. However, she was a good professor and the info she gave us was very interesting. Only take parsons if you are ready for a challenge. If not, don't. This class was hard.

Though many have said they don't like Parsons's, I truly enjoyed having her class. The key is to actually form a relationship with her. Let her know that you care about this class and your grade.

Professor Parsons is great at lecturing. Attendance is not mandatory but highly recommended. The amount of work she gives for an Intro class is overbearing and very challenging. The only way to pass is to do all of the busy work which is awfully stressful.

Parson is a great teacher with a great sense of humor. She knows the subject better than any professor I've had! She's fair but not an easy A. You actually have to do the reading and go to class. If you're a slacker, don't take her. If you're a decent student and want a cool class, take her.

She makes you work for your grade but also provided a great extra credit option for our class. She is sarcastic but she really knows what she is talking about. Read the book and keep up with the syllabus and if given do the extra credit and you should end the class with an A. Really enjoyed the class simply because she was the one who taught it.

Parsons gives a lot of work but as long as you get it done then you should be fine. Be sure to watch all videos or movies she assigns you to watch because she will most likely give you a pop quiz over it. Shes great at giving lectures! She makes them fun and entertaining. As long as you study and do all your work, you should be able to make an A!

The class isn't easy but not hard. Do the reading, watch the videos, go to class and you'll pass. She makes class time enjoyable. She's funny. She gives extra credit but its more reading and writing.

She is one of my all time favorite professors. She makes lectures fun and she is actually a very kind lady, please dont be fooled by these one star reviews I highly recommend taking her class.

Addressing others' comments: She's not rude; she calls you out on your crap and dumb questions, that she probably already answered. Also, she gives so much extra credit that you have to work hard to fail this class. She isn't an easy A, though, if that's what you think makes a good professor. You have to actually read and learn stuff to pass.

Amazing. She cares about you as an actual person, not just as a student. Not an easy A though She actually cares if you learn stuff.. You have to go to class and read the book to pass the tests and assignments. The bad reviews are students who want an A for doing/learning nothing. I've learned more in her class than 10 others combines.

Best teacher - actual teacher - I've had a UWG. Wish i was a sociology major so I could taker her again. Yes, you have to actually do the work, but she lets you turn it in early for feedback and it's almost impossible to fail because of the extra points. Every business, nursing, and edu major shoud have to take sociology by her.

This class has a lot of work for an intro class, she is very lecture heavy and will expect you to be able to keep up with her. She requires a textbook, I didn't read it, but you will need to cite it in your papers. She is a tough grader and will take off 10 points for not underlining terms. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities including bookclub and SI. It is a lot of work for an Intro class.

I was assigned to her through eCore online this Summer semester. She's pretty nice and good. If you require a lot of one-on-one with the teacher, you most likely will not like any online course. There is no room for procrastination. I would suggest taking her if you can handle her high expectations.

Lots of lecture videos and other related videos throughout every week. Big work with a lot of class discussions. Despite all of this, Professor Parsons is very clear in explaining the material. Staying on top of her lectures & assignments are tough, but very much do-able. She is very understanding and super nice!

Parsons is a tough grader but she gives you all the necessary material to pass her course. Shes also always available for help and provides great feedback. Its important to watch and read all the required material or you wont get do well on the discussions, tests, & writing assignments. However, I learned a lot from her class.

If you try at all in her class, you cannot fail. Read and watch some lectures and you'll at least get a C. She also doesn't close assignment dropboxes until she grades the reports so you can submit late without any points off. Making an A in her class takes more than the basics but its not hard and shes super helpful if you need it.

best teacher I've ever had! i learned more in her one class than in 7 others combined. her lectures are great, she's very available for help, her feedback lets you know exactly what to do next time to get a higher grade. I'll take every class she teaches.

BEST professor ever. Turn in reports late, ok. Struggling, just text and shell help. Watch the lectures - theyre on the test but also they help you understand the reading. I fell in love w/ sociology this semester & I only took the class to fill core. Ive never had an online class where I felt I was part of a real class & knew the prof.

I was worried about taking sociology but Dr. Parsons made it easy! She cares about her students and is open to the opinions of others, she also gives you help when you ask and will explain things more thoroughly if you need it.

Professor Parsons is one of the best teachers I've had. She is challenging but always available to help. There are a variety of assignments, grading is clear and she drops the lowest grade. You will be challenged but will learn a lot!

Best professor Ive ever had! So nice and she was so inspiring!

Dr. Parsons gives a great lecture. She has high expectations/requires that you work in a group on multiple class assignments. Approachable if you have trouble/ just want to chat. She offers multiple extra credit opportunities. Uses the textbook, but not directly. Attendance is a must and note taking is seriously suggested. Also, READ THE SYLLABUS!

Make sure you attempt the self-assessments multiple times, these are questions on test. Make SURE you post on time and respond to several classmates. YOU MUST then respond back and forth several times to get credit. Her discussions need to contain references to content learned. Feedback is given and professor is easy to contact. Great professor

Requires an upload of a picture, reasoning is clearly explained that it's proven we treat people better if we can see their faces; ignore what the previous review of this class stated. Fair grader, but be prepared to follow her rubrics closely. Content is easily understandable, lectures + activities are engaging and informative. Take notes!

I have taken Dr. Parsons for multiple classes now, but most importantly her intro class. A lot of people consider her a very difficult professor. She wants you to WORK but if you follow her directions and actually try you can guarantee an A in this class. Use your resources and your brain. Don't just sit around waiting for your degree, work for it.

Her teaching style is very interactive and engaging, one of the only lecturers I never got bored of. There are a lot of assignments to keep up with but all laid out in the syllabus so easy to keep track. She is pretty lenient with grading and drops your lowest test score. Easy A

This is an amazing instructor!

Great professor with an engaging teaching style. Challenging but fair grading. Use resources like Unstuckstudy and the textbook to succeed. Attend class and take notes.

Everything was great until the full moon. During the lecture on global inequality and GNP, Professor Parsons suddenly started howling and climbed on top of her desk. I thought it was a metaphor for the market, but no—actual werewolf. Still gave us an extension on our essays, though. I mean I guess that's out of her control?

Professor Parsons is a good professor. I took her sociology of race course and you can tell she cares and truly wants everyone to learn the material. With that being said, she does not put up with any B.S. with grading. You need to follow the requirements of every assignment to a T and actually put in effort to get a good grade. You cannot skim by.
