Professor Anderson is amazing. She challenges students to be better in a really thoughtful way. The activities and assignments are geared towards practical tasks of real life, things that we may end up doing in the future with any job. Shes extremely intelligent. I cannot speak more highly of this class.

Professor Anderson puts a lot of work into designing lessons, and it made this one of the most useful courses Ive taken. She connects students with each other in new ways that really make us feel connected, like art! I honestly felt cared for as a student.

She was extremely open-minded and sensitive about students who come from different backgrounds. Her enthusiasm was infectious and I learned as much from other students as from Dr. Anderson because everyone participated.

Dr. Anderson is a really interesting professor. One of the best I've had. And she really cares about students. She remembers everyone's name and she contacted me when I was falling behind. That meant a lot because it made me work and I ended up getting a good grade.

Dr. Anderson encouraged the class to do well academically, but it was clear that she also cares about us as people. So much of the class content is applicable to our own lives, and this class helped me connect some of my own anxiety with social structures. This class helped me know how to be a better citizen and happier at the same time.

Kate is really enthusiastic about environmental sociology and it is contagious. She did a really good job making us see how we can apply sociology in our careers and why its important. I've never thought about things from this perspective and it really made an impact on me.
