Winter 2018 - Took soc gen 5 with Professor Allard. He is a very nice, welcoming professor. However, beware of the amount of reading required for this class. The exams are alright as long as you did the study guide and understood all the terms. Overall, this was a pretty generic GE. I am also selling the actual book of Island of Dr. Moreau for 5 dollars.

SOC GEN 5 I had professor Landecker for the first half of course than professor Alfaro for the last part. Professor Alfaro was the better lecturer. Professor Landecker is really passionate and approachable, but I had a hard time following her lecture--it seemed to me that she jumped from one topic and one topic rather quickly and I always got lost. Going to her office hours didn't help me much either--she sometimes never really answered my questions. Overall, I suggest taking the class with Professor Alfaro who is the better lecturer and keeps the class engaged ! Also her power points were practically all you needed to do well in her class!

Soc Gen 5 I had professor Alfaro for the second half of the course (Professor Landecker taught the first half). Professor Alfaro was great ! Everything you need to do well on the quizzes and final were her power points, which I suggest to definitely print out & memorize. She tries to keep the class engage and is really passionate about the subject & she is SO helpful during office hours! Because of office hours, I did really well on the the final :D This isn't a hard class and I totally recommend it !
