Comment:
Not very understanding, especially considering we're in a pandemic. Sent her an email after I missed two classes explaining my situation and she basically said withdraw bc my participation grade wont survive. If you're not a suck up she'll ignore you. The reading is insanely heavy and boring and her weekly 3+ page papers suck.

Comment:
Dr. Foerster is highly knowledgable and truly cares about the subject that she teaches. I wish I could take her classes forever. She made me feel like a real person in class. She engages students in conversations about what is going on in the world and how it connects to the class. Highly recommend!!!

Comment:
The material is really boring and despite her best efforts, she can't engage the class. INSANE amounts of reading, that if the students actually did, would take hours. She'll ask these questions that no one knows the answer to and we all just sit in silence. Also she won't ever make eye contact with the class, she'll look at a blank board. So rough

Professor Foerster is truly a gem. Shes such a sweet lady and is very understanding. Shes really smart and knows what shes talking about and tries to make each class interesting and fun. Most of the class is discussion based with about 3 papers due throughout the semester. The class was interesting, I would definitely take her again. Love her

I loved this course and Professor Foerester. the class was really interesting or eye-opening. Also, she actually puts in grades. My one complaint is the class was 3 hours which is so long and I would've liked it more if it was 2 classes for an hour and a half.

Professor Foerster is by far my favorite professor I have ever had and recommend her to everyone. She is very clear in the assignments and a very fair grader. I'm a business major but would love to take more of her classes.

This class was writing enhanced so it was harder than what it usually is. Extremely helpful, excellent feedback, interesting topics in class. Very nice too.

I absolutely adore professor Foerster. She is quirky and nerdy but an excellent teacher nonetheless. She leads interesting discussions which make you actually think and gives fun assignments such as taking photos of and profiling neighborhoods. I recommend her, two thumbs up!!

Nice professor. Despite being a writing enhanced class (tough, but fair grader), mostly in class discussions.

although I really like her. I think her EXPENSIVE textbook readings are totally useless and boring. Class is totally engaging and interesting though, which is a huge plus. I really wish she would not rely on dry, data-driven textbooks, it really ruined most of my classes with her.

I'm currently taking her Pop Culture and Social Change class and it is a writing enhanced course. If you are not one for writing, then be warned, the assignments might seem a little overwhelming. But if you just do your work and stay motivated, you will do well in this class. Foerster is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! It is worth it

Take SOC 102 if you're an in-class participator! 70% of grade is classwork, which are group projects that aren't difficult. Weekly reading. Optional final if you don't like your grade thus far. 1 paper. Really insightful class, you'll learn a LOT! She's a great professor, highly recommended.
