Probably the easiest Ethnic Studies I know of. A lot of the readings are really dense, but you can get by without doing all of them. I didn't try to hard for this class, and I overslept the day of the final and only had a half hour to do the whole thing. Still got an A/B.Rate My Professors ↗
Very easy class. Discussion type atmosphere in a lecture, but it isn't difficult to get a word in. Can't get lost in the middle of everyone because she memorized everyone's names within the first two weeks. One midterm and a final. She gave us about 30 questions ahead of time and said that 10-12 would be on the exam and you had to answer all but 2.Rate My Professors ↗
I really enjoyed her class. It was really easy to understand, and the best part was that it applied to my life directly. The readings are very manageable and the tests and quizzes are easy. I would suggest this class to everyone!Rate My Professors ↗
I think Kaelyn does a pretty good job of keeping the class engaged in the material. She creates a good atmosphere for learning.Rate My Professors ↗
Ehh. Very average. Would not recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
Probably the worst experience I had in college. I dreaded going to class because Kaelyn chooses students she likes, gives them A's and doesn't care about anyone else. Take any other teacher for SOC 357.Rate My Professors ↗
