Took her class in Fall 2013. Although her lectures sometimes get a bit boring, Anderson is a well-organized and generally engaged teacher. Workload was fine, expect a weekly journal (1-2 pages), a quiz (multiple choice, really easy), and two papers (4-6 pages). Overall, an easy A.
Selling (as good as new):
- Course Reader for the Class
- This Book Is Not Required, 4th Edition

I didn't like this class too much... I took this class while considering being a Sociology major, and taking this class proved to me that I DON'T want to major in it. The field makes you skeptical about the world you live in, and I'm pretty satisfied with the world I live in. That's when I realized sociology isn't my thing.
The concepts are fairly easy to follow, but her lectures put you to sleep. They consist of her mainly reiterating the readings that had to be done before the lecture. There are lotttts of readings for this class. We had weekly journals where you had to cite the readings (pretty easy though), and two essays. The second essay was really bad. We had to make up our own thesis while incorporating 4 random topics.
The class itself was pretty easy, and the professor was pretty nice and sweet, but I think she could have made it much more interesting.
Dr. Anderson is an awesome professor. She assigns a lot of reading, but in all honesty you don't need to do any of it. She highlights good readings to look at in lecture and you can pretty much use that in your papers making the class that much easier. She also has no midterms or finals which basically means you don't need to read. I will admit that there were a lot of papers, but most of it you can write in about an hour or two. The only real papers that take longer are the essay and final research paper. With that being said, TA's grade the papers really easy, so you really can't get lower than an A- if you put all the effort in to complete everything on time. In terms of the course material, it is very interesting and you really won't feel like your wasting your time if you go in with an open mind. She's a really nice person and cares a lot about teaching which is kind of rare with faculty at UCLA. I definitely felt that my time in class was worthwhile and being a South campus major her class was definitely perfect for a guy that hates reading and can't write extremely well. I strongly advise you to take it if you can get in, and even if you can't a lot of people drop on day 1 because she assigns a small easy paper that is due on day 2 (2 days later). Basically, if you actually do that paper and 2 of the other 5 for the quarter, you can basically write exactly what is in one of the readings and it will save you lots of time. All in all, take her!
I thought that the subject matter that we discussed in class was very interesting, not exactly what I was looking for, but nonetheless interesting. We also watched a couple movies, one (La Haine) that I absolutely loved (A Short Film About Killing was pretty good as well). I will tell you though that this class was definitely not a super easy one. I ended up with an A but you are required to write 1-2 pages a week, and have 5 papers including a research project that was 20-something pages long for me (this included interview transcripts). Also, the course reader is expensive (I'd recommend getting it used and sharing it) but necessary for your papers. Prof. Anderson was a nice person in lecture and office hours, and really interesting as well, but I felt she was a little too strict about logistics and such... for TA's, Sarah was really cool, I'd recommend her for sure. Overall, I think this class was incredibly interesting, but you should be prepared to do a good amount of work if you take it.
So she gives alot of work and readings, but you have to take this class. I am not big on reading or writing, but this class is definitely worth it. There are 1-2page journals due every week, along with 5 other essays. I loved this class because it gave me a different perspective of life. There are no test because she does not believe in them. So you pretty much have just have to write in read. I like Terri because she is passionate about this class. Take this class if you can with Terri.
