    Took this course when it was offered asynchronously online. Overall, I highly recommend it especially if someone is planning to take it along with a heavy course load. Having it online meant it was definitely manageable and I was able to get all the assignments for the week done the weekend they are posted. Midterms and finals were fair and you should be fine as long as you watch lectures and do the readings. Professor Collett is pretty responsive and organized with the format of the course. Only thing is that exams and assignments took a while to be graded but that is my only con about the course.

    I loved Professor Collett! She made lecture so fun with her little anecdotes, and this helped me remember concepts better, as I could try relating new, difficult concepts to occurrences in my life! I didn't really know much about sociology before taking this class, but this class has opened up my eyes to several inequalities and injustices that happen in our society, that I never realized or thought about. It was overall very informative and made me interested to take even more sociology courses. I know you won't regret taking her class!
