Comment:
Professor Sipma-Dysico is hilarious. She makes every class really fun and interesting even though most of the class time is spent lecturing. She expects you to read the chapters before class, but there isn't a lot of out class work except for a few BB readings and videos to watch. Overall, a very fun professor and interesting class.

Carlene is a life-changing professor. I have never thought more critically about pressing issues in our society than in her classroom. She presents the information in a very unique discussion format. Hands down, the best sociology professor I've had.

Comment:
"People who are resistant to these ideas will take issue with the class" Are you kidding me? False. She's a loud mouth Democrat who presents pro liberal information that can't be challenged unless u want an F. "Pony Up?" I bet that comment was made by Carlene herself. She made me realize how annoying and hypocritical that political party truly is.

She was so helpful outside of class and she knows exactly what she teaches and will make it more clear for those who need it. She's nice and an awesome person.

I loved this class and this teacher. The only bad thing was that it was so early in the morning. Other than that, Carlene made everything super easy to understand. She had a ton of stories to relate to the topic at hand. I will definitely take her again.

Comment:
This class, like so many other, forces students to confront things like White privilege, heterocentrism, and gender inequities. People who are resistant to these ideas will take issue with the class. But Carlene will not tip-toe around sensitive subjects. Pony up.

Comment:
Teacher was unfair with the way she presented the political material. Did not show both sides of the argument at all. You'll love this class if A) You complain about everything in the world, B) little things that don't matter in life irritate you, and C) you're a huge liberal feminist. I absolutely hated every second I spent in this biased class.

If you do what you're asked to do, ask questions, and study more than just the minimum material you'll be fine. Don't take her "easy-going"ness in class as her being lenient; her grading reflects her strictness. She's really cool, though.

Comment:
Carlene was very helpful for quantitative research, despite limited office hours. The course was very straightforward, though one can only take so much of repetitive lecturing about one assigment (i.e. 1.5 hours of rambling). The sociological aspects are present, and Carlene is very passionate about her subject- not so easy..., as she is caring.

Great professor! Don't stress about the readings. She gives so much to read but we never go over all of it in class. If you keep up with it though it makes the papers easy to write. She is very passionate and you'll either love her or hate her. I hope she comes back when she finishes her dissertation!

Well, Carlene is an easy grader but her classes are all the same. We do generally the same assignments in the different classes. I always knew what to expect when she taught. Expect to hear A LOT about her home life. Don't bother to do the reading because she always goes off on tangents and the readings are never covered!

One of the worst professors I've ever had. I learned nothing, all of her classes are the SAME! I learned more about her home life than the material. Nice woman, dedicated teacher, not qualified for a four-year school in my opinion.

Very motivated. She is "REAL". It was great that she brought in real life stories and awesome guest speakers. I really enjoyed the group discussions in her class each week. Overall she loves what she is doing and it shows.

Hypocrite. I like her and her classes are easy and not that boring but she is the least qualified Sociology Teacher at NCC. She thinks that she is way smarter than she really is. All of her classes are EXACTLY the same. Don't expect to learn.

Carlene is a totally awesome teacher. As a mom of young children, she understands that students have other things going on besides school and sometimes cannot make it to class (within reeason). Her tests are not difficult and the class is mostly taking n
