Jenna is an amazing professor and a caring person! She cares about her students and you can tell she loves her job! Soc 170 was easy if you pay attention and study, but the class is interesting so studying shouldn't be a problem! Highly recommend!!

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Your grade is made up of 2 tests, 2 papers, daily reading quizzes and discussion participation. Content heavy but Professor Nobles cares about the class and the content. She wants to help her students and is available outside of class.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
So much content packed into lectures. Long readings twice a week and long jam packed lectures are all on tests. There are small quizzes twice a week that are not difficult at all and they do not really help for the 2 big exams in the course.
