Wonderful prof! Super easy class as well. Not the most exciting topic, but she does her best to make it interesting. Study guides are given for the exams, do them and you will get an A. Attendance isn't mandatory as long as you somewhat skim the chapters you will be fine.

I found the class interesting. Lectures got a little bit boring, but she made things as fun as possible. Tests are pretty easy if you complete the study guides she hands out. Mult choice and essay. I'd recommend her, she's friendly and knows what she's talking about!

Loved her! She's so nice and the subject material was so interesting. Her tests weren't too bad--a nice blend of multiple choice and essay; papers weren't too much to ask for either. It's one of those classes where your grade reflects your work, and the workload isn't too rigorous. Definitely take her if you can!

Comment:
Read the books OR go to class, both not needed. I really like her easy, laid back style, but she doesn't follow public communication styles: says "uhm" and "ah" quite a bit which can be distracting. She does know what she's talking about and is very respectable and considerate of her students.

She is bright, funny and knows her stuff. The lectures can be boring as she is attempting to get so much info in, but it is fun when she allows for class discussion. If you study, the tests are easy. She did give random in class assignments and take random attendance.

This is a pretty easy class as long as you show up and take notes on the lecture. She can be very boring and repetitive, might put you to sleep a few times. But she is a nice lady, doesn't make it too hard. Overall good class, 3 exams, 1 paper.

If you like Soc, then you won't find the class boring. If you participate in the discussions, it can actually be pretty interesting. Her class is very easy, you don't really need the book as long as you pay attention in class. She takes random attendance, and your grade is based on a paper and a few tests. I would recommend her.

Prof Ryanbrandt was a good prof. She taught the class well and everything was very clear. The book doesn't need to be read, but her study guides follow it. Do the study guides well, and the exams will be pretty easy. Overall, it was an easy class and she was a good prof. Take her if you can.

She is an awesome professor. Very nice to students and wears the cutest outfits everyday. I would suggest buying ans skimming the book. Picky exam questions will come from little details, but overall basic knowledge will get you at least a B.
