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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
