C&ESOC/SOC 357
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
The course material is very dry, and for most of the semester, rarely used in class. Assignments weren't difficult, but grading was often picky and not explained very well beforehand. Gina is very responsive to student feedback, and made an effort to improve the course.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Assignments are very detailed and thus sometimes confusing. Class got better as the semester went on. Lot of work in the first 10 weeks of class.
