Winter 2020 - This class was great and it converted me from a bus econ into a sociology major by the end of it. The professor was very simple and to the point. I liked her teaching style. She used slides that basically covered all the material you'll be tested on. She wasn't really good at responding to emails though, so just stick to keeping communication with your TA. I suggest taking this class right after statistics or alongside statistics. There is A LOT of statistics and needing to know how to read and analyze them. It's lot of fun and they teach you how so don't worry. Easy class and super fun. You even get to conduct your own research with some peers. Also, DO EVERY SINGLE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT. There are only like 6 assignments and you only need to pass 4 of them, so do all of them to make sure you can make up for any you don't pass. Have fun!

Winter 2025 - The honors seminar was a fun addition to SOC 20! We did additional readings each week and broadly discussed them during class- there were no real assignments for the most part and our grade was determined by our participation. Prof. Sweeney encouraged new ideas and was extremely willing to help with any in-class projects or assignments if we had any questions. Our only "assignment" was a short presentation of our class projects at the end of the quarter, and we received a lot of helpful feedback. It's a small and thoughtful group, and I'd recommend it to get to know the professor better or get additional clarification on class material.
