I really enjoyed her class. She is young and relates well with students. Class is an easy A or B. You have three easy 50 question multiple choice tests.She gives you a study guide for each test. Lectures are very interesting. I highly recommend her.
She is the reason that I am a Sociology major. Enough said.
easy and fun class. she gives the most interesting lectures. there are only 3 multiple choice exams and she give a study guide for each one. definitely worth going to.
took her during summer and really enjoyed the class. one of the only subjects i was entirely interested in. easy exams and assignments.i recommended her to all my friends.
took class during summer. all lecture comes off from ch. outlines, but you have to pay attn because you could miss stuff that's imp. very easy and fun class. you will do well on tests if you study right off of study guides.
Real sweet lady that is willing to help you through it. Just talk and respond during class and she'll love you.
Wonderful teacher! Took class during summer and very easy to follow as long as you have the chptr outlines. I learned alot from her, and as long as you participate during class she will love you. Highly recommended!!!! she's a 10!!!
Fun, interesting lectures. She is nice, helpful, and gives outlines that are easy to follow. Exams are super easy. I listened and attended all the lectures, read the study guide/lecture notes once prior to exams and aced the class. TAke her!
I took her in spring 06. It is a very interesting class. The exams are easy. You have a couple of assignments but they are easy too. The whole class is easy, take her.
great teacher- TAKE NOTES! stuff in lecture/not in book on tests! (and vice versa! READ the chapters! stuff in book/NOT in lecture on test!). tests are EASY if you USE THE STUDY GUIDES!!!
amazing teacher. easy to follow and understand. very comfortable in class. this class made me change my major to sociology.
just a great teacher!
Awesome Prof, learned a lot,had a good time if you are an older student beware of the writing assignment, what is 3 pages for an 18 year is 23 for a 40 year old. Take her and enjoy, hopefully you wont have a student teacher with her
very good teacher! its really important to take notes everyday..there is an outline shes follows so the lectures are easy to follow. for tests- she gives out a list of whats on the test, make flashcards of each one and you'll get an A!
hooray
She is such an amazing teacher. Study guides are provided and the test are word for word from the study guide and book. You have to be an idiot to fail her class...
she is tight!!!!! i havent been this interested in a class in a long time, she makes it fun and interesting to learn....overall she is a good teacher
Great lecture, easy to understand with good examples. Just she gets carried away sometimes and runs out of time to cover all materials. Take good notes and you should pass this class with ease. Attendance is mandatory and you need to concentrate in class, it shouldn't be too hard since she's a hottie. :)
Shes freakin awesome. She knows what the hell she is talking about. And then we also share a name, thats why she will remember me forever!!
Just take her class. It was an easy A to me.
She is really hot, but the class is very boring. We don't have much class discussions and she talks a lot. Would recommend her though.
I'm thinking of changing my major to sociology because of this class. THAT'S how awesome her class is! Take this class and I promise you that you won't regret it!
She's a young professor, so she can relate to a lot of her students. The subject is boring, but she makes it interesting. Her class isn't too hard, just do the reading and study for the tests. There's only a couple written assignments she gives out, which are easy A's.
She is a great teacher, has reasonable expectations and is easy to understand.
Great teacher! She lectures with clarity. Gives a lot of examples so you will understand. She's really laid back but at the same times wants you to care about school and your grade in her class. Super helpful and all around really nice person! highly recommend her class. It's easy if you pay attention. she gives good advice for life. :)
She is an all around good person. Take her!!! I took her this past summer and got an A.
super cake class! She's really nice and makes it easy to understand!
Overall a good professor. Her power point makes taking notes easy, and helps to make the concepts easier to understand. she gives lots of examples and relates everything to the real world. Take notes and pay attention in class and you should do fine. The textbook is not necessary, except for her 2 or 3 five point quizzes.
She was so nice!! and the class was long but it kept my attention the entire time i really recommend that you take her you will not regret it
SHE IS ONE OF MY BEST TEACHERS EVER! Her lecture is very clear and understandable. Study guide is 100% helpful, study and ú'll b awarded. I used to hate sociology but she made me to like it! She is like ur friend, sharing her personal stories and ideas to help understanding I will miss her class a lot.Go to class, take note and u'll be just FINE!:)
This class is very easy as long as you take notes and review the study guides. there are 3 tests and 1 essay, which is also very easy if you just follow her directions. Take this class if you want an A.
really interesting class. not as easy as you think. tests are based mostly off the study guide. you really gotta study for the tests though. take good notes. all around fun class.
She's a really funny teacher & really into sociology. Her class is not hard at all. If you do the minimum amount of work you could still get a C. No homework just tests & one paper. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for sociology!
her lectures are very useful and she answers any questions clearly. you need to know the main points and vocab in the book for tests. its doable. she is cool & easy-going. id reccommend her
Definitly a great teacher. Truly enjoys the subject and makes sociology fun. I'd recommend her as one of the best SOC. teachers at Fullerton. If you're wondering who to take, she is by no means a bad choice.
she talks a lot and sometimes class can be so boring but she is really thorough, no need to buy book. Her notes are all you need! really easy class.
she provides an outline of her lecture. you just takes useful notes that will help you study well for the exams. there are 3 exams, 1 final, and 4 writing packets. her exams are multiple choice only. class can be a bore sometimes cuz all she does is just talk. dont bother to buy the book cuz all her info is on the outline.
she's honestly one of the best professors ive ever had...i loved sociology before, but after her class its made me actually decide to major in sociology. she's awesome...everyone needs to take this class!!
before taking this class i knew i wanted to major in sociology but after this class it just confirmed it that sociology is my world. victoria is so awesome...by far the best teacher i've had out of my three years at community college. everyone needs to take her.
elmquist is legit. don't need the book unless you want to read along. lectures whole time. takes attendance. test all multiple choice, and couple papers. go to class, take notes, participate, and you'll pass easily. easy A, and she's good looking.
I loved loved this class. I have taken Soc 101 twice before & dropped them because I found it to be so boring. But taking it with Prof. Elmquist, I am actually considering changing my major to Sociology. Her lectures are interesting & so real with every day to day life! I truly recommend her class!
She's real. Easy tests with study guides. Actually interested in her students and the subject. Learned a lot while remaining entertained. Halfway apply yourself and you'll get an A.
This is a pretty easy class. She lectures the whole time, take notes and you won't have to read much. The only thing that was frusterating was that her expectations for the major paper weren't clear and when several students asked her about being marked down for something she didn't include in the papers guidlines she got somewhat defensive.
She is a good teacher, talks a lot about things that may not be on topic but other than that shes fun and outgoing. Exams are easy enough if you do the study guide.
Really interesting and funny lectures. Totally recommend this class if you want to pass with a good grade, as long as you study the lecture notes, that's what she bases her tests on.
Shes a great teacher. She lectures all class and you take notes. Her lectures aren't boring at all. She made sociology sooo interesting for me. I'm now minoring in sociology thanks to her. 2-3 quizes easy grades in class right away. 3 tests with study guides. 1 paper super easy just follow guidelines and youll do good. study notes and take good not
As far as community college teachers go, Victoria is very desirable. She is a captivating lecturer & has a good sense of her student's needs & abilities. 1 paper, 2 quizzes, 1 article review, 2 exams, 1 final-- ALL EASY! Study guides are provided. Getting an A is totally do-able. You will laugh a lot, you will learn a lot & you will like her a lot!
Great teacher!!!!!
she is totally awesome..she tries to be a student somethings, i totally recommend her. but pay close attention to her lectures, and take awesome notes, and ur good to go!!
really intresting lectures and she is pretty funny, overall it was an easy class if you study a little bit
She's funny, keeps you entertained. Lecture format gets somewhat repeatitive. Overall easy and good class.
Miss Elmquist is the BEST! She's very funny & engaging and goes through the material step-by-step. She'll tell you EXACTLY what you need to know in order to remember the material and do well on the tests.Just take lecture notes & pay attention :) Also, she's great at working with individual students who need extra help.
First day of class, she gave us her cell phone number & said if we need help or have questions, we can call her anytime. So friendly, & always upbeat. One of my favorite professors! :)
at first i didn't want to take this class because it started so early in the morning, but she makes it worth it. her class is fun and i understand everything she was saying b/c she really gets into details with it. i don't really read but if you don't understand her then read. otherwise just the notes itself are good. and do the study guides!
awesome teacher! made me so interested in soc and is super down to earth. no homework, one paper which is easy and kinda fun to write, 3 exams which are given study guides for. easy class as long as youre interested!
Such an awesome teacher...omg i love her!!! Down to earth, friendly, funny, and helpful. One of the best teacher i have ever taken!! She is soooo passionate and cares for her students i really recommend her for the world
She is an amazing professor who challenges you to think differently about things that you may believe in. She is respectful in her classes and is very eager to help anyone who asks for it. There are 3 tests total, one paper and 2 pop quizzes. If you read the book and pay attention to lecture you will do amazing in the class.
Straight forward class. Fairly strict on attendance/tardies. Very enjoyable class even at 730am
To be honest, you don't really need the book. It helps, but... Her lectures are comprehensive and cover every test question. Her tests are easy as well because she gives study guides hinting directly at which questions will be asked. She is a great lecturer and highly interesting, I def. recommend.
She was great.
she was great, we didnt use the book much because her powerpoints mostly cover the exams, she gives out a study guid, and only one easy essay
She is awesome teacher. Makes lectures exciting and interesting. likes to joke around which makes the class more fun. fairly easy as long as you go to the lectures. TAKE HER!
She is a horrible teacher. She is extremely boring. I came into this class knowing nothing about sociology & when I left this class I still didnt know anything. Avoid her. I highly recommed you take someone else. She didnt teach everything that would be on her exams & the study guides were useless. I need to retake this class now :(
Great Professor! Keeps the lectures entertaining by just being herself and skipping the BS. This turned out to be a really interesting subject. Quiz's are on the chapters of the text book,for notes she has an outline on the board and she speaks so you fill out information, the exams are straight forward.Completely recommend her!Thanks Ms. Elmquist!
BEST ONLINE CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN! Responds super quick to emails. Weekly updates are very clear. All you have to do is keep up with the assignments and you'll for sure receive an A!
Her lectures are exactly what she tests you on. Pay attention and don't miss class. Every class is crucial! She makes everything very clear and she just made me fall in love with Sociology! She's also so funny and her lectures will never bore you! I highly recommend her!
This teacher is awesome!!! I recommend her!! I took the class at 7 am and i have no regrets. Great class! Test and quizes are easy if you pay attention and read the book they are very straight forward! She's a very good teacher can't say enough about her!!
This teacher is amazing. She is so intelligent and good at explaining theories and concepts and really relatable. She makes the subject really interesting and is really inspiring. Also very funny and entertaining. The 7am part was hard though, and you must attend class. Easy assignments, if you dont get an A, something might be wrong with you
She was a pretty cool person, but not a great professor. Lectures were very boring (she was funny sometimes) but class dragged and the tests were very hard. I don't recommend to students like me who need a class that gives homework. Its all about tests.
Victoria is one of the most engaging teachers I have ever had. Her passion for sociology and teaching is very apparent. You must attend class for she covers a lot of material in each class. Tests are primarily based on lecture with some questions from the text. Her class isn't hard though. But her class is very applicable to everyday life.
Elmquist is super nice and responds quick to emails. She's not hard to take online. Just do the work and make sure you read the book!
You have to go to class, because the majority of the test questions are from lecture. The class is basically all tests, and one paper, so if you aren't a good test taker it might be hard! She is awful at posting grades and giving stuff back!
Amazing class, made me consider my major. My partner has his bachelor's in sociology and I never realized why he loved it so much until I took her class. It was a 7am class that I taught I'd hate and only took for requirement well I was wrong. She makes the class very interesting and provides good study guides.
Victoria is a very captivating teacher. She really changed my view on sociology, her lectures are engaging and informative. You must attend class because most of your exams is based on lecture notes, however the exams are quite easy seeing as she hints which questions will be asked. Her detail on this subject is amazing.
Amazing. I've always had a difficult time learning when it comes to lecture classes, not this semester. She is clear cut, informative and down to earth. You will learn if you come to class.
AWESOME TEACHER!!!! Lectures seem long but very interesting!! Test questions are based on all her lectures she gives so it's important to show up to class. Study guides are provided on Mygateway! Really nice and funny!! One socialization paper & sometimes quizzes but those are rare. Overall easy class and GREAT TEACHER!!!
BEST SOCIOLOGY TEACHER AT FJC!!!!! Amazing lectures, you will learn a lot!!!!!! she definitely makes the subject interesting so that your not bored in class! :)
great teacher. her lectures are very entertaining and she always involves the class in group discussions. Almost 100% of the test questions are covered during lectures so it is easy to study. Make flashcards, know them, and test. She will actually tell you multiple times that this is the best strategy. do it and pass with easy A
I'm currently taking this class and it's one of my favorites so far! She's really funny and the lectures aren't boring. She interacts w/ her students a lot & what she talks about is most likely on the test. Tests are super easy (got an 85% and didn't study that much). I highly recommend even if you're not majoring in sociology (:
Awesome teacher. it's clear that she loves the subject and she puts the material into real life scenarios. The class can be tiring since it's a 2 hour class but it doesn't feel like it drones on. The tests are very easy bu make sure to use the study guides she gives you and read the summary and reviews at the end of each chapter (in the book).
Took her online during Spring 2014. You had to read the book in order to pass the exams. Sociology wasn't my major or speciality, but it was good to learn something out of this field! She is a friendly professor both in-class and online! Take her, you won't regret it!
Seriously my favorite teacher this semester! She loves what she does and it shows, easy A.
This professor is honestly the best! She is super clear about topics, and she's definitely into what she is teaching, you can tell that she loves it. She gives study guides which are a big help with the exams, and one paper, which I personally enjoyed reading. I highly recommend to take her class!
An AMAZING professor! If my partner did not have his bachelor's in Sociology already and I hadn't seen how he struggled to find a job I would of probably switched my major to Soc. I still remember it was a 7 am class two years ago and I HAPPILY woke up to attend her class! I fell in love with Soc, i'm a CIS major with minor in Soc just for fun!
Had an easy time in this class. pay attention to her lectures as she tells you what is on the test and what is not. 3 exams about 6 quizzes and 1 major paper. Easy A+ on the reflection paper as it is about yourself.
I took Elmquist at 7:00am and her lectures always kept me awake! She is very straight forward about what is on the tests because she does give study guides. Only one major paper but it is super easy because it is about yourself. Review before the exams and it will be an easy class.
This class is easy if you actually attend and take notes and just make sure to use the study guide she provides for each exam, has all the terms that will be on it. After taking this course, I decided that I wanted to be a sociology major, really found this class interesting and she is a great professor.
You have to attend class to pass the class but I enjoyed all her lectures ! She's funny and has great character. I would definitely take her again.
Easy A if you go to class and take notes. She truly wants the best for her students. Study guides that are basically the test.
Initially I had no interest in taking this class and did it because I needed for credits but I'm so happy I did! She's such an amazing professor and really connects with her students and is clearly passionate about sociology. It's a very easy class if you pay attention and study for the exams (only 3 a semester!)
She was my first 7 am class during my first semester of college. She is AMAZING. Her lectures are interesting and she's very approachable. She's so passionate about teaching and about her students understanding the material. I Absolutely love her I wish there were more professors like her. Fullerton College is lucky to have her.
took her my first semester of college and her lectures are amazing, her class is very hard to fail all you need to do is pass the exams and you should be fine, exams are based on the lecture class is really easy and she makes class interesting.
Elmquist is the only teacher that I've ever felt the need to review. She makes class interesting and she really knows the rights and wrongs of teaching, as in she's very interactive and she'll go over something if you don't understand. Inspired me to major in Sociology to become a counselor. 11/10 would take again.
Her lectures are very organized and clear. She is very interesting and has a great sense of humor. She also very clearly cares for her students. She gives a study guise for each exam listing explicitly what will be on the test. Her class is an easy A just make sure you do the study guides and turn in he very little homework she assigns.
Amazing professor, goes into depth with every topic & loves it when you participate with the in-class discussions. There's one paper but its straight forward, two exams, one accumulative final, and a few quizzes.
Easily the best class & professor i've taken so far. Victoria Elmquist is very passionate and inspiring, which makes learning the content that much more fun and rewarding. She's left me switching my major to sociology. You will feel great after each class knowing that you are actively learning because of her incredible lectures.
Victoria is the best professor I've ever had and made me fall in love with Sociology. Her lectures are so insightful and very informational. She makes learning the subject fun and provides great feedback. You can tell she loves what she teaches and wants all of her students to do well. Don't need the book, but take good notes and make flashcards.
Great class! Overall, fair amount of school work to be done for this class (like actually studying for exams & quizzes). I learned a lot and was able to enjoy her lectures. Recommend 100%.
this teacher was amazing! favorite so far at FJC. lectures covered everything on all exams - i will say, at the beginning of the course (first 3 weeks or so) she would have quiz's on information we were supposed to read in the book, but after that i didn't touch the book once. Grading: 4 (i think) exams and a paper which is easy overall, easy A!
Love this teacher. She relates her personal life and embeds it into the class.
Great professor. Great lectures. Gives study guides for the tests (but you have to show up to class for those) I definitely recommend taking her.
Excellent professor with a clear grading criteria. Be sure to take good notes, as the exams are based entirely on her notes. She also provides you with a study guide a week prior to each exam, and as long as you study that, you'll get an easy A.
Awesome Professor. She prides herself in her rating on this site and she works hard for it. You'll learn some useful information that you can take with you, in your personal life. Exams are easy if you take notes and study what's on her study guides. Great speaker, very chill she's humorous too.
The professor's lectures are easy to follow, well written and precise. She is always well prepared for class. I enjoyed every single lecture!!! It's nice to see a professor who truly is passionate about the subject they teach. I would love to take another class with Professor Elmquist !!!! Can't thank her enough for the knowledge I gained !
She is by far one of my favorite professors I've taken at Fullerton college! She is so caring and understanding. The test are the exact same thing as the notes taken in class and wow she has this awesome essay assignment that she gives her students after for 4 weeks into the semester which really helps self-reflect. she is great!
Very clear with what she assigns. She gives amazing lectures that are always very interesting, important especially because I am in her 7am class. She gives study guides with what is exactly on the exams, and there are only 3 all semester. Also one paper that is completely about yourself. Great professor, is strict on not accepting late work!
Don't take any other sociology teacher. she's all you'll need. Passionate about the subject she teaches and you can't say that about many teachers. Lectures were interesting just about every single class period. Tests were not that hard, especially if you studied. Show up to class everyday and you'll be fine.
Great prof. she is really dedicated to her job, she actually lives up north and flies here every week just to teach class. Her lectures were very detailed and she is one of the most kind and hardworking professors i have ever met. Her Test were difficult but if you read the text book you'll pass. Very little homework-- simple essays on fun topics.
Lectures are amazing. She is very passionate and funny. I am taking another one of her classes this following semester . Be ready to take notes, if you plan on skipping class you'll most likely fail. One essay that is worthe 100 points. Surprisingly got 100% A* and I literally wrote about myself (biography) pop quizzes are worth 10 points.
She is the best professor yet at FJC. She truly cares about her students, and makes lectures extremely entertaining. She always has something funny to say, and isn't afraid to mix in parts of her life to make her more relatable. Great professor, go to class, and study for exams. If you study, and attend class you will pass.
This is an easy class if you take really good notes and pay attention to her lectures. Mrs. Elmquist is a very chill teacher who I greatly recommend for anyone wanting to take soc 101. I took her 7am class and surprisingly I was awake for the whole lecture. I really enjoyed her class and I think you will too.
I took this course as a postgrad, & Professor Elmquist proved herself to be one of the best instructors I've encountered throughout my studies. Her lectures were informative, relevant, & engaging, & I genuinely looked forward to each class. If you pay attention & use the study guides, there should be no reason not to get an A. She's truly the best!
Victoria Elmquist is the BEST instructor I've ever taken. Her lectures are amazing and engaging and you can tell that she truly cares about her students. Her class changed my life and I even changed my major after this class, that's how much of an impact she makes! I highly recommend you take any class of hers you can, you won't regret it.
AMAZING!! I was worried on the first day bcs she said she only gives a few big quizzes and a report but she gives a study guide for every test that has EVERY question you need for the tests and she tells you exactly what she wants for the essay. Classes are SO interesting and its a very student-friendly work load!!! Highly recommend. Soc 101
Her class was lecture based and included class discussions with topics at least twice every class. She is very nice and challenges you to think about things and discuss what/how things mean to you. Very clear grading criteria; always knew when tests and quizzes were. Would take again.
I looked forward to going to her 7AM class, because her lectures were so fun. She is an amazing professor and just a truly good person in general.
