Watch out! As she teaches straight from the book she will repeat, repeat and talk about other things while you are to copy her powerpoint. Conerly will also say that a given point will not be on the test yet then it will be. I would recommend you seek another teacher.
If you are a fan of the MN Vikings, you'll do fine in this class; if not, you're done for. Test reviews are TOO broad and pointless. NOTHING she states is on the test. AND (get this) her "extra credit" is about irrelevant topics (i.e. food network or MN Vikings). Overall, terrible teaching skills. ANDDDD, she steals McGraw-Hill's powerpoints.
She's a good teacher, who teaches lecture and power point style, the class is easy if you just study your notes and listen to her, however she isn't very helpful with question answering. I actually enjoy her, if you are a right winger choose another teacher...
HORRIBLE teacher. She is very RUDE and looks at you stupid for asking a question. She's not clear on her reviews at all. Things she says will not be on the test end up on the test. She should not be teaching.
I think this teacher is getting a really tough rap. She is a nice lady. Her class is highly discussion driven. Overall, her tests are not too difficult. I would really recommend her.
She is a good teacher, strict but funny and very easy to understand. her tests aren't really hard just pay attention in class and you will be fine. she love sport and give away extra credits for sports news Lol
You typically don't get the benefit of the 1 1/2 hours two times per week as she always cuts you loose early. Therefore, you don't get far into the subject in each class.
Professor Conerly is fantastic! I have no idea why anyone would call her rude at all. Her class is really discussion-based, and it's very interesting! Pay attention in class and read over the chapters in the book, and you shouldn't have a problem. She's very fair. She also has a great sense of style!!!
this lady will drive you crazy. She repeats herself insessantly and constantly calls the class guys. You ask her a question about the assignment and she will not answer to your full understanding. Always late to class and unorganized. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER FOR ANYTHING!
Shes a total self-proclaimed diva. Comes in whenever she wants, but gives you the death eye if youre 2 minutes late. Puts you on a spot. Unorganized. All over the place. Repetitive. Favors specific students. Loves conflict. You have to go home and teach urself the rest, since class always ended early. Grades people hard,cuts off ExtraCredit early
Very hard professor, favors certain students, assignments are unclear of what she expects, grades hard, and tests are really hard. You take many notes, primarily just copying from a power point and then you leave after and hour of taking notes. Nearly impossible to get an A
Warning...sometimes her notes conflict with the book. She will tell you something will be on the test and then it is not, or that it is not on the test and is. If you work hard you can make an low A...but be prepared to spend alot of time studing. She is also very unhelpful when you ask her a question. Make sure to read the book!
took her online for distance learning for introduction to sociology. this was a 5 week summer mini class. there were 16 chapters and disscusion boards for 2/3 of them and about 3 quizes and 3 exams. the db's and quizzes were fairly easy the exams not so much. i personally couldn't find alot of the stuff on the exams in the book.
Worst ever i studied alot and still failed her tests review is nothing like the test . horrible class you will fail if you dont devote your entire life . dont take her !! Oh and she repeats her self so muchhhhh drives me insane.
Something of a good teacher what you need to pay attention most for are her powerpoint's that's how she gives the classes and that's all you really need just attend and take notes that's all you need.
Many people are saYing that she's hard but honestly that was an extremely easy class, she has favorites, but participate and She'll like you. I got a 72 on a test, a73 on a quiz, 80 on 2 other quizzes, 87 on another test, and i still made a 100 in the class, she gives you a whole test grade as a bonus!! One of the best teachers ever.
She's one of the hardest teachers on campus. She doesn't answer questions clearly and it makes the students uneasy. Her notes are simple and straightforward but her tests are very difficult and literally require you to regurgitate all the information heard in class. Memorize the notes, and you'll make an A like I did.
i took her online class discussion q's every week and quizzes some q's totally irrelevant to the class!i got a B only because i used to mc graw hill connect website in the beginning of the book which all her quizzes came out THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE USE THAT STUDY GUIDE ONLINE all her tests and quizzes are from there.shes not helpful and not clear.
I've had her twice. And the reason that people fail is because they don't read and they don't participate in class discussion. She repeats herself over because she wants you to understand. I really enjoyed the class.
Go to class. Participate. Take notes. BAM! You get an A. (and even if you dont want to do that, there are like 5 extra credit projects) ....We talked about real life in this class, rather then reading from the book. The movies we watch spark so much inspiration! Loved it! :D
Worst professor ever! She mainly uses unorganized power points. Very lazy when she lectures, she read word by word off her power points. Goes way too fast for anyone to have good notes. Tests questions were over nothing we talked about in class. Every time someone ask a question, she looks at them stupid and gets irritated. Don't ask any questions!
lets just say be there every day and not be late or she will take off points on assignments
Well, at first the class looked very intimidating, she went too fast on power points, she called on you randomly. After a few days we had work, written quizzes that were graded to hard no partial credit given even if one part is right. Her test are a bit difficult, but if you study you be okay.
Mrs. Conerly is pretty cool. She makes sur you got the info. Always interested in the stuff she teaches. Sometimes can be too serious. DON'T TALK WHILE SHE IS!
Took her 3 week mine and it was great. Super easy. Let us use book on first test. Partner on 2nd test an at home quiz. Plus watched films and did easy assignments after. She cares and brougt snacks. Loved her. Maybe she grade easy on mini
I took her in fall.She takes off her shoes during class and runs around.Boring lectures, will read slides to you.Dont take her. Class out early and you learn nothing.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!Took her for a mini and was very easy! She even bought the whole class starbucks cookies!!Highly recommend her
If you want to pass this class without learning anything then definitely take it with her. She doesn't expect much from you. Beware that she'll give test review sheets with information that will never be on the test and missing everything that will be on the test. This was an online class and she never bothered to return any of my emails.
online class is terrible. unclear. unorganized and all. does not answer questions at all. just throws you out there, without a clue. never take her, worst teacher.
Great online teacher. Syllabus was very well laid out and had a week by week to do list. Only two exams and three quizzes. All the other weeks we had discussions. I don't know why people are saying that she is not a good teacher. She helped me a lot and the discussion questions really caused me to think and explain more. Which helped with my phil.
I really don't know why the negative comments about this teacher. This class was soooo easy just to your topics and study the reviews.... STOP being lazy. I got an A!! easy class
Half the time classes were cancelled and she would post assignments online. Slide reader, no real info given to students.
She is not good professor. too many works for this class. not helpfulness. rule is rule, no exception. taking regular class and i think i'm taking online class. drop this class. I definitely don't recommend her.
Fairly high volume of assignments considering the subject. Grading scale lumps all assignments equally to average a final grade. For better or for worse, that means a test counts as much as any other assignment. Not articulate at communicating assignment info to students and is unforgiving with misinterpretation. Picking another professor may best.
Awful! She emails on the weekends & if you reply to her regarding the emails she sends out, get ready to be yelled at. Very rude. Treats all of her students as if they came right out of high school. VERY UNCLEAR DIRECTIONS! Gets snappy when you ask questions on assignments or anything as if you weren't paying attention. Don't take her, seriously...
I was very intimidated by her at first but shes acually pretty cool. Just get on her good side and show her that you care. The only thing that is hard are her test but they are easy to study for.
SHE IS VERY AWESOME AND INSPIRATIONAL!!! IF YOU STUDY AND DO YOUR NOTES, YOU CAN BRING THEM TO YOUR TESTS!! SHE IS THE BEST IN SOCIOLOGY !! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Also, you don't need book ! just only her ppt
I loved her class even though i had her online. I liked her class a lot, she was helpful, she would always remind us in case we forgot, the assignments we had due that week. She was real nice about feedback and if you had questions she was there.
She is a very rude professor you try to ask her something and wont explain it dont take her class
I took this class for a summer mini. The class was like any other class. The assignments are straight forward. I just wished the professor was more clear on how to do the assignments. She did reply to my emails, however she was not helpful at all. She is not clear when you ask for help and about the assignments. Again, not helpful at all.
The syllabus, course calendar, and My Grades page all stated different dates for project. If you dare to ask for clarification on an assignment you brushed off and if you then call her, you are then given attitude and talked down to. Essentially don't ask any questions and pray you guess the right due date. I dropped. Good luck, she's a peach.
Most rudest professor I've ever had. You can definitely tell she doesn't care about the students.
She was an average teacher. Her classes consisted of lectures and in class assignments. There was one group project we had to do with a partner. She allowed us to use a review on the tests. As long as you complete it, you'll be fine on the tests.
I enjoyed this class. We had alternating discussion questions and quizzes each week. The only problem I had was sometimes the answers she set as correct on the test were actually incorrect.
Great professor. Only 2 upsets are: Test are out of the book and not entirely over what she covers in class. And she'll say quizzes are over certain information, then when the quizzes come, there's more to it. Other than that, do your work, pay attention, make an effort, and you'll pass. No point curves or anything so don't count on it.
Great professor!! I had her for a honors class and it was really easy, and laid back. She really cares about each student and will help you out in any way possible. This class really took some stress off my back because I didn't have to spend a lot of time studying. Pay attention in class, take notes and get a easy A. Lots of extra credit are given
her class made me felt like a joke, Do NOT take her if you want to learn anything. However, she did have a clear criteria on grades. Got an A but didn't learned anything.
She makes lectures very clear, but honestly out of your notes you took from the lectures only 20% come out in your test. Might as well read the book. Study a lot only key to passing her class. Everything is just tests.
I would not take her again she's rude, she skips through the power points and barely gives students the chance to write notes, and her grading is terrible and whole lot of bad other stuff etc. I barely passed her class and do not recommenced her to be a good professor to take just awful.
Very rude professor, she snaps easily when you ask simple questions. Your grade comes from test/quizzes. In class time is when we go over a PowerPoint of each chapter but she goes too fast and doesn't post the powerpoints online for us to catch up if needed. Read the book because the PowerPoint doesn't cover much on quizzes.
Shes cool! Honestly I thought she was gonna be a bad teacher but let me tell yall!! I failed every quiz/ test in her class because it was that hard. But I still managed to get a B! If you do all of her assignments (which are freaking easy) you WILL PASS. Everything is based off points! Every professor is different guys. She wasnt bad at all :)
This teacher gave no help to her students and mentioned that our stress is not her stress. She gave very controversial discussion questions for a marriage and family class.
She doees not take into consideration that when people are taking a online class, things will happen that is out of control. Is not accommodating at all.
Prof. Conerly is unorganized, procrastinates and rude. Unorganized-She does not come to class on time. Procrastination- She wouldn't put in the grade until the end of the semester. Lastly rude-If you ask her a question she will give you an attitude. Don't expect your emails to be answered. Main point is the test are nothing like the review!
She is late to class and unprepared. She skips around the Power Point Presentations so quickly that it is difficult to take notes. Her exam/test reviews do not cover the material on the exams. If you ask her questions about your grades or the class she either gives attitude or very vague. Her responses are rude at best. She shows favoritism.
She gives an attitude at times if you don't pay attention. calls you out, too. Tests are.. fairly easy. 5 point bonus if you fill out your review (plus you get to use them on quizzes and tests.)
Do not bother taking this class with her as the professor. She is hypocritical, and treats her students as ignorant children. She will ask questions on test, with the answer contradicting what she would say in class. She ridicules her classes. She even said she is here to get paid and wont teach us the material if she didnt want to.
-She tell you an assignment is due 11:59 Saturday. Blackboard tells you 11:59 Friday so she still counts it late because the computer says so -Updates SYLLABUS mid semester to enforce this -knows nothing about sociology outside minimum teaching criteria -makes assignments due in middle of quarantine instead of on one universal date late semester.
Piece of cake!! Easy easy! Although shes quite unorganized, and change due dates often. Her class is EASY and if you do whats asked you will get an easy A!!! FREE BOOKS Professor Conerly is not a bad teacher after all, she knows her stuff.
Normally I do not care enough to rate professors, but this professor just was not it. Once wrote a paper for her class and got 75 points off just for not using 2 references (so yes I received a 25%). Not a hard class, but I just would not recommend her. I noticed some students also had a difficult time with her.
Quizzes and tests are based on study material which are given during class and are accessible after. Weekly work over different topics that students propose. Very nice professor. Cares for her students.
Took Professor Conerly over the winter mini-break and it was easy. 2 discussion boards, 2 quizzes, 2 assignments, 3 exams, and a signature assignment. Make sure to get work done on time and it's an easy A.
She is the worst teacher to have ever existed, she is hard-headed, and very rude and not well coming. She will get mad at you for mistakes she made and expects you to fix them. She is very unprepared. I can keep going on!!
This professor is very rude. She does not show empathy for any student even on computer errors. She is rude in communicating with students. This professor grades on punctuation and the proper use of full sentences, but yet her replies are run on sentences and grammar errors. This professor needs more training if she will be teaching Sociology class
Save yourself, dont take this professor. She is so rude and doesnt respond to your emails then takes points off your grade when you needed help but she never helped you! Shes also very rude and then acts so different when her boss is cced in emails.. very clear she doesnt care about students and this job is just a pay check to her
Comes off as rude, and does not care about students or how they do in class. Provides zero feedback for assignments, PowerPoints are lazy and videos are dated. Don't bother emailing because she won't respond anyways, she even makes it clear in her syllabus that she is not to be argued with or corrected etc. There is a typo is the textbook she wrote
I took her class for a full semester. She clearly lines out everything in the syllabus so you will be able to keep up with your grade always. Genuinely a very sweet professor, she is a great person to go to for advice. She is very blunt and does not take any crap, be respectful and she won't have an issue with you. I am sad the class has ended.
I took Honors Sociology and it has been the easiest honors course I have taken. She let us be very independent and she usually let us leave early from class to work on the final paper. Very helpful and nice!
Mrs. Conerly's communication is abysmal. I attempted a quiz and the book we were using was incorrect. I reached out to Mrs. Conerly and she responded with snark and sarcasm since it wasa Holiday weekend. She eventually found the error after dismissing me and had to offer the entire class a retake. Similar situations happened all semester.
I loved this class others are saying she was mean honestly if you participate in class she will love you even if you answer one or two questions in class. If you turn in your assignments for the class you will get a good grade. She's an easy grader, she usually ends her lectures with 30 minutes of class, I took notes and never used a textbook
Professor Conerly has three exams, 3 quizzes, hot topic or service learning, one group project, a course assessment paper, review paper for the exam that counts as extra credit. As long as you do your work you would pass her class. She gives you two attempts on your quizzes and exams which I am grateful and lets you leave early overall shes nice.
fall 2022 I took the class online. not too difficult but the essay assignments were vague, if you had questions the professor she would reply "read instruction" or something rude. professor made it difficult by not helping. i missed 1 DB and it significantly brought my grade down. I would not recommend if you want to learn anything.
*BEWARE* When it comes to taking this class online she has little to no instruction on any of her assignments. the instructions for the assignments are unclear. seems ignorant in her feedback. and is absolutely ruthless over email. also, i should mention her power point slides are dated.
This clasd was very simple and straightforward, she is a very easy grader, she gives tons on extra credit and made the class interesting.
This class was so easy, the test could be done outside class time and we took notes often; also got out of class early frequently.
Took Professor Conerly first 4 weeks of summer 2023. Very straightforward. Textbook included. Everything is due by Sat. 11:59. The written assignments are very vague just include the information asked and you'll make an easy 100. Does not accept late work. 2 attempts allowed on everything, minus the final exam. I would take her again.
absolutely hate this class... she is extremely rude and disrespectful. She does not like emails and her lectures are very dated. As a sociology professor she does a terrible job of making students feel welcomed in her class and treating them with respect.
This class seemed useless when the professor doesn't grade your work on time. She'll send you an email asking you to email her back if you have missing grades as if were doing her a favor. She is rude and doesn't follow up with students. Open the ppts and textbook or else she'll mark you absent.
Professor Conerly is a very bad professor when it comes to teaching and helping her students. If you know better ones, choose those as an option, as she never answers any emails (and outright says not to email her), easily forgets her students names, talks back, etc. However, her class is insanely easy if you know what you're doing so thats a plus.
I had Dr. Conerly for Soci 1301 mini winter session, and it was pretty easy by far the easiest class I have taken. Total of about 10 assignments that include open note exams and quizzes, 3 papers but they're only 1-2 pages long and a few discussion boards. Highly recommend taking the mini sessions super easy saves time!!
Her lectures are a little outdated and she can come off as rude at times but the reason I give her a five is because her class is very easy with not much effort required and even though she can come of as rude I do think she genuinely cares about her students and to be honest for I don't care if my professor is rude or not as long as I get an A
Easy A if you do your work! Not a fan of her lectures, but she tests straight from the book/review so it is easy enough. She is inaccessible outside of class and not very approachable if you have questions. However, it is not that much of a bother to me simply because of how easy her course is. I would definitely take her again though.
Extremely rude when answering questions and impossible to communicate with.
She has multiple grading issues; she does not respond to emails. Condescending 70% of the time, very hard to work with. Lectures are dated, most of the quiz work in on her digital book (which has typos). Would not take it again.
Multiple grading errors; very hard to cooperate with. Takes a gazillion years to respond to emails, and when she does she is condescending 80% of the time. Most of the lectures don't have quiz material, she directs you to the online textbook many times (which has typos) Would not take it again, you're better off watching a Netflix documentary.
When it comes to this professor she does not take emails online, which is very inconvenient due to the syllabus being unclear. When you do email her she will respond in a rude manor and will create a class announcement or tell you not to email her then proceed to tell you to look at the syllabus which tell you nothing. Overall would never recommend
Professor Conerly was a great professor. As long as you do your work and respect her, the class will be an easy A. There were like 2-3 quizzes, a semester long group project which wasn't difficult, and only 3 exams that were online and open notes; not a difficult class at all. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an easy class.
The class was easy but she doesn't know how to use her blackboard or update her online resources. Definitely not tech savvy spending 20 minutes at the begining of classes just messing with blackboard. Quizzes and lectures are easy but assignments don't have online descriptions and she doesn't explain them well.
I have taken her online course, and it went fairly well for me. I like how she graded by points instead of percentage because I got a low grade on a test, but was still able to get an A for the class.
Class is super easy and she's very nice, but email her! She often forgets to update Blackboard or input grades. As long as you stay on top of things and follow up, you'll be fine—but it's on you to keep track.
Professor Conerly is a great teacher, she is responsive to emails and assignments are easy to understand. Took this course for a summer course and would love to have her as professor again. Be prepared to write but its not hard.
Dr. Conerly's class was A class for sure. No shade on her work, it taught me what I needed to be taught, and it actually helped. Attitude, not so much. She was kind, did her job. Just that she showed signs that she was one of those professors who truly had it in their heads that they were always right. Which just made coming to class not so good.
She was awesome! Truly love the curriculum and class.
Try to follow the schedule because that is how attendance is taken, but at least send an email giving her a heads up. Also make sure you do the discussion questions on time, which are not graded heavy it just a discussion but they do matter in the end grade.
One of the best courses I've ever taken, very well organized and excellent work in explaining the material
I loved this professor; she is very well-organized and direct as she can be. She cares a lot about how u present yourself and how u act. If she sees u messing around or not doing what you've been told to do, she will call you out. She appreciates her students a lot and praises y'all whenever she can.(She based the test on lectures/textbooks)
Professor Conerly is unclear with her instructions, which makes her assignments confusing. She can be passive-aggressive and is often disrespectful to students. She forgets to grade assignments and is rude about it when you bring it up. I would also like to mention that she isn't very good at doing lectures because she only reads off the board.
When you get this professor, make sure you prepare to work independently and figure things out yourself. She isn't clear enough in ANY of her instructions. She is the worst professor I have ever had, and she doesn't even follow her syllabus. And she makes up her own dates. She doesn't know how to work Blackboard and takes forever to grade work.
This professor changes up the syllabus regularly. If you ask her a question, she will tell you to check the syllabus, but it doesn't give answers to the question. She takes forever to grade, and once you submit something, it turns red automatically. Overall, not a bad class, but the professor isn't clear on her instructions in any assignment
Professor Conerly is really hard to talk with. She takes a long time to grade things and really does not how to give clear instructions for assignments.
She's okay but her grading makes me question myself because of my low grade and I think you might have to get along really well with her for a good grade. The professor is kind of fast on giving lectures but the good thing is that you can go back to the powerpoint lecture.
She never grades on time, is very incompetent, disrespectful, and even searched on Google "how to teach students." She is always on her phone and never pays attention to her students. All she does during her lectures is read off the slides; she doesn't even understand what she is saying; if it weren't for the textbook, I would be failing!! 0/10!!!!
- extremely passive aggressive and rude to certain students - open note tests/quizzes - in class assignments that cannot be made up - several extra credit assignments - worth taking for the easy A regardless of her behavior
Passive aggressive. She will not upload the slides she uses to lecture on blackboard- so take a picture of EVERY SLIDE! Avoid asking any questions or help- as you'd probably have better luck with talking to your classmates. Tests are manageable- workload is alright. But be prepared for a changing syllabus.
