Comment:
OK, the prof is kind of irresponsible by canceling the last lecture without prior notice and leaving some of us still very confused about the material. Her style is quite disorganized plus and material itself (methodology) is pretty dry, it really takes a lot of perseverance to sit in class and concentrate. Not recommended unless you are obligated!

This prof's lectures are the most scattered, confusingly-delivered classes I've experienced. The course content is heavy, but it would have been understandable had it not been for her disorganized speaking. Run away.

Very good prof. Take her for 211, she knows what she is talking about and makes it seem so simple the way she breaks down the chapters. She is also a very fair marker, the TAs are great also.

Comment:
Benaquisto is like the best prof for this class. If you have never done inquiry or stats, take her. She is clear and goes really slowly(sometimes too slowly!)to make sure everybody understand her.She repeats a lot too.Very approachable.I learned a lot from that class and she is very sweet and knows the subject really well.Lots of material though.

Granted, this was a seminar (12 people) and very different from a lecture structured class, but she is amazing. A brilliant woman who cares about her work, makes you care about your work, and is engaging the entire time. A professor where 10 years down the road you'll feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to study under her.

She is awesome! There is so much that one can learn from this woman....and I've studied her stuff in other courses as well. She's also a very caring person. Take her classes, if she's teaching any!

She is a great teacher, dunno why ppl complain so much!! Very knowledgeable, willing to help you if you give it a try, and the book (which she wrote) is crystal clear with plenty of examples. Very clever, maybe that's why dummies couldn't understand?!

This class is HARD & BORING. If this class is a prereq, take it in the summer! If not, stay clear! The material is SO dry. Book isn't much help cuz it's written by the prof, who made it as confusing as the lectures. To do well, stay on top of everything!

This class is a nightmare! The tests are very hard and she's a hard marker (way too picky). Hard work doesn't pay off. Avoid this class unless it's a prereq. Lots of reading, needlessly complicated paper, fast-paced lectures, boring material. *gag*

Most sutdents have been complaining about her but I really think she is a great teacher. Very intelligent, she will answer any question and the material is pretty straightforward - if ppl work a minimum, there is no way they can fail!

Nice professor, but very difficult exams. She tries to make it interesting but expects you to know everything and if you don't you lose marks on anything she gives you (exam,assignment). I think she tries to teach too much material in too little time.

She is kind of crazy... and her class is so annoying. I guess she is a good teacher if you can actually sit through her class and listen to her annoying blabber. This class is a lot harder that ou would expect it to be.

Unfortunately, although she knows her stuff, she is totally psychotic. I feel like she actively tried to turn people off sociology. She ended up having to bump the midterm mark up 15% so MOST PEOPLE WOULD PASS!

Comment:
Social Inquiry - she's like your mom, if your mom was actually cool. it was kind of rude for her to say "don't email me", and she's cute and funny in a dorky way. you'll like her, you'll like going to her class.
