This class was taught by both Dr. Rensel and Dr. Garrison. I enjoyed both Professors and the workload was pretty demanding with the amount of readings fluctuating as every week passed. The midterm was multiple choice and had some free response questions, however, if you keep up with the lectures and slides/learning objectives, it shouldn't be too difficult. I would recommend completing the reading guides before lecture as it eases the material that is covered and even correlates into the learning objectives. We do have a research paper that is due by Week 10 and it's around the 1300-1400 word mark with scholarly articles only. I really enjoyed discussion sections and found the TAs to be extremely helpful (Shoutout Laurence!) You get a freebie absence and discussions don't begin until the second week. The final was strictly multiple choice and due to the ongoing protests in LA, our Professors switched it to an online setting AND even made it open-note! This characterized both Professors to be extremely helpful and accommodating and I couldn't be more appreciative to have taken this class this Spring.
I've been in quite a few classes with Dr. Rensel, and SocGen 102 was honestly no different. Prof Rensel is very qualified to be a lecturer, she is approachable, makes very organized slides and incorporates relevant topics into the material each time. I really liked that this course had so many guest lecturers throughout the quarter, and they gave really detailed insight on the various topics. Some of the class felt like review of material I've covered in previous SOCGEN courses, however, I get that some students were taking to course as a GE. Hats off to Dr. Rensel once again.
