I am biased. I absolutely loved this professor! I took Professor Anderson for three courses: sociology of gender, sociology of education, and social psychology (I think that's the title). She was my favorite professor from undergrad! (I graduated a couple of years ago, but I still remember her.) The material is very, very interesting. Go to her office hours! She is just a very cool person to talk with. She is very creative and artsy and loves films. She is a very interesting person, and that comes out in the way she approaches the class. I loved how she would play excerpts from "This American Life," and the books she chose were so different from the books I had to read for other classes. I remember she had us write journals, and they were very meaningful. I even saved a few because they remind me of the intellectual epiphanies I had through her classes. She really reads them and always left me questions to think about. If you don't b.s. these, she writes thoughtful comments. I also remember a final project she had us do. We were supposed to try to pass as the opposite gender. This was very fun to do as well as intellectually enlightening. I realized it's really hard to pass, but one of the other girls in my group did a very good job. Some people weren't sure if she was a guy or a girl. Wonderful project!

Spring 2019 - Just... dont take this professor. I am 100% sure that there are better people. He's not a bad person. Just unnecessarily tough. His slides are unclear, they're so wordy, it's boring, he doesn't engage. He takes attendance and has so many clicker questions. He told on some students who were clicking for their friends. Readings are long af.... just no. Harder than it needed to be

Just take his class! Although there are a lot of readings(and they are not easy!), the exams are not hard at all just read all of his lectures powerpoint and go to section, then you will be fine. And he even offers extra credit, so if you do it, you can definitely get an A! And my TA was Nazgol, she is really sweet and helpful!
