Comment:
Professor Hax is very passionate and kind. She is very understanding and genuinely wants you to pass! She offers some extra credit and bonus quizzes. The class was definitely difficult but you can definitely pass if you put in the work. A LOT of reading and the quizzes and exams were hard! If you don't show up and study/read, you will 100% fail.

Professor Hax is extremely dedicated to teaching students. Her class is demanding of effort and participation but usually these are the classes you learn the most in. The class is not hard if you put in the work. I loved her class and took her social movements class too. If you are looking for a soc teacher that truly cares then this is your gal.

Professor Hax in very insightful and her class showed this greatly. This class requires a fair amount of reading and if you want to pass you have to attend class and listen to the lectures. If you choose to give 50%, your grade will absolutely reflect that. Overall I think she is a wonderful teacher and recommend you take her course. HARD CLASS!

As an online class, even attending she does not clarify when the tests will be and odes not put them on the calendar either. She is rude and does not understand excused absences.

Such a great teacher and awesome person in general. I was struggling with late work this semester because of personal issues and she never deducted points. She is openly left but encourages different rational perspectives in class. Always available for help. Her grading is just for freshman college level writing. Just need to read a lot every week

1 of the best profs @ Towson. 2nd time I've taken Hax. Difficult grader but the class is worth it. Extremely passionate. Her lectures are captivating and she facilitates very meaningful discussions. Hax cares about her students and is a very cool person. She is openly politically left. 1 paper, reading quizzes, 2 exams, + 1 written assignment.

As long as you go to class its a guaranteed A. I made flashcards which I didn't really need but helped. The tests are multiple-choice with about two short answers.

A lot of people on here say Professor Hax has a hard class and that they would not take her again. However, I disagree. Professor Hax was one of my favorite lecture teachers. Yes, you have to read the text, study and work for you grade, but its college and other classes are mostly the same. do what your supposed to and a good grade shouldnt be hard

Honestly at first i was intimated by her, i though she was rude.. but i learned to love her! She is very passionate, and corky. As long as you take notes and study them its really not a hard class. Lectures are long but she makes them funny/interesting. I recommend this class.

She is a stickler but she wants you to succeed and that's why she's so strict. People think her exams are hard but they're simply not. Attendance is mandatory so go to class and listen and you will literally be fine. Barely any reading or homework/assignments. She puts all of the PowerPoints on blackboard. Take her if you want to actually learn.

Professor Hax is a tough and just grader. To do well in her class, you must read and follow all instructions. In this class, any component of the research paper is scaffolded, meaning you have to turn in each part before the next. If one part is missing, you cant turn in the rest of it. Failing the class.

Professor Hax is a very nice person, however, she would push her political views on the students. As a strong believer that politics should be kept away from the classroom, she made it feel wrong to disagree with her, stopping myself and many other students from participating in class. Regardless, her class was enjoyable and she is hilarious!

She's rude. The subject is boring and her lecturing style doesn't make it better. Attendance is taken and every class there's a pop quiz.

Comment:
Hax is SUCH an inspiring sociology professor which is rare to find... She actually motivates you to be involved in our democracy and fight for what you believe in. She is openly political (left) which made the class more interesting to debate on topics. she is a tough grader but the class discussions and content was so worth it

Before Hax's class, I read her rmp and was worried. I almost dropped her class but glad I didn't. Hax is an *AMAZING* prof. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate. She is liberal but never without a factual basis. The class is hard, but is doable. If you want to actually learn, don't listen to the bad reviews, take Hax. She's worth the work.

Overall, I really enjoyed her class. I wasn't expecting to like sociology at all but I was pleasantly surprised. She gives very thorough lectures and teaches all of the content you need to know. I enjoyed going to her class and thought she had entertaining lectures. Lots of work but if you just pay attention and study, it's fairly easy to do well.

I liked Ms. Hax! Her lectures are interesting and she gives her honest opinion on topics discussed in class. There were 3 exams, quizzes on chapters in the textbook, and 3 chart assignments. She also gives extra credit opportunities throughout the semester along with assignments that can replace your lowest quiz grade.

I have Prof Hax during Fall 2018. If there is a chapter assigned, expect an in class reading quiz or an online reading quiz. As long as you read, you will ace the quizzes. The exams were not hard, the questions were very surface level but you need to study in order to succeed.

I took this to get a core out of the way hoping it would be interesting but the class is a bit boring. Hax isn't the worst but it was really hard to stay focused in class because the lectures were just not intriguing. Be prepared to take a reading quiz almost every class so be sure to read the chapters she assigns. The exams are not too hard STUDY!
