Winter 2020 - This class was great and it converted me from a bus econ into a sociology major by the end of it. The professor was very simple and to the point. I liked her teaching style. She used slides that basically covered all the material you'll be tested on. She wasn't really good at responding to emails though, so just stick to keeping communication with your TA. I suggest taking this class right after statistics or alongside statistics. There is A LOT of statistics and needing to know how to read and analyze them. It's lot of fun and they teach you how so don't worry. Easy class and super fun. You even get to conduct your own research with some peers. Also, DO EVERY SINGLE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT. There are only like 6 assignments and you only need to pass 4 of them, so do all of them to make sure you can make up for any you don't pass. Have fun!

Winter 2025 - - such a great chance to see class topics (soc 20) applied, discussed and broken down in a more intimate setting by the professor - She will go over stuff from class in more detail if you express that it was hard to understand, and she gives you the chance to present your project to her early so you can get feedback directly from the professor which is like actually unbeatable - cool classmates who are great to talk about the course with :) - only sad part is that the seminar was only 50 minutes! wish it was longer!!
