Hist-Soc 4800 Colloquium

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

Karen is a bright and enthusiastic sociologist. She's not the most organized instructor, in terms of lectures as well as general housekeeping (responding to e-mails, etc.). But, she makes up for it with her one-on-one insight during office hours, which she generously offers as frequently as possible, and even according to your scheduling needs. If you're a History-Sociologist major, you have to take this class, and Karen is a good professor to get. She can be a little moody sometimes, but after a couple of weeks, you realize that it's not a reaction that's personal to you. Overall, she's an A -.

Workload:

A 20+ page thesis paper for the course grade, with small related projects along the way to prevent you from procrastinating.
