The prof was a great woman. I respected her a whole lot. Her lectures for this class are very interesting and the notes are used for the test. there is a lot of out of class readings and if you dont read outside of class you wont pass.

I was so excited for this class, but it ended up being very boring. The content is interesting, but the way it's presented & the fact that the prof wrote the text book just constantly made me want to fall asleep. I would've rather taken it online

I thought this was a great class. Really made me think and work harder than I have in most classes. Prof. De Young is tuff, but she is fair and very helpful. Treats you like an adult, not a kid.

Comment:
Child maltreatment was probably one of the most pointless classes I have taken. Professor DeYoung was not clear with her directions at all. I gave her everything she asked for on a paper and basically ripped me apart for not following the paper guidelines when I did everything she asked for. I would NOT recommend this class!

Professor Deyoung is great! The class is challenging, but so interesting. The way she discusses the material will keep you very intrigued. Quizzes are pretty difficult, but if you study the right material, you will do fine. Plus, she drops your worst one. It's pretty important to attend every class.

Great professor. Probably one of the best I've ever had. Tough grader but very helpful and always willing to meet you outside of class. There isn't formal participation grades but she will raise or lower your grade at her discretion depending on your participation. Highly recommend her if you want to learn a lot.

I was a dual major and the capstone in my other major (CJ) was a major waste of time. But the SOC capstone with Prof. De Young was great. Very challenging. Wanted you to show off what you've learned. Very helpful. Great experience and nice way to say goodbye to old GVSU.

This class is very difficult. Only two exams,and 3 journal responses that are graded tough!Choose your own book, for journal responses, its a lot easier than answering her questions.

Good professor, but very challenging. Grades are based on 3 papers and 2 exams that are made up of 5 essays. She was forced to give extra credit on the first exam because so many people failed it. I learned a lot, but it was honestly the most challenging class I've ever had.

Take Mary!! Her lectures are very interesting!! You will want to go to class (and you need to to do well on tests). Make sure you read the textbook as well because a lot of exam questions are from it. 3 papers and they are very straight forward and simple. She really wants to get to know her students and is a joy to have as a professor.

Awesome professor! She makes the class so interesting, and she is rather easy. She provides you with study guides to go along with the readings, and she gives great lectures; therefore, tests really aren't that bad if you pay attention and do the readings! Great class and professor!

Really knows her stuff and knows how to teach. Don't mistake her human decency for weakness--she's nice and helpful (and really funny) but she's tough and has high expectations. Strongly recommended. You will learn a lot.

Prof DeYoung is wonderful! Child Maltreatment is a sad subject, but she gave so much insight into the topic! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable in this field. I loved every minute of this class. This class helped figure out what I wanted to do with my life! I read about 75% of what was assigned, lestened in class, and got an A. YOU SHOULD TAKE HER!!!!!
