All I learned from taking a class taught by Tanya Stivers was: 1) How to cram without actually learning material. 2) How to take verbal abuse from a professor. 3) Acceptance that no work completed is good enough. Shes on a power trip and it wouldn't surprise me to later learn she was secretly a psychopath. Judging from the other evaluations, I think its safe to say Tanya and her family have employed self rating.

DISREGARD SOC 24, I took SOC 20 with Prof. Stivers and she is a great teacher and her material is interesting. If you go to every class and take good notes you dont need the book. What makes the class hard is having a bad group (THERE IS ALOT OF GROUP WORK) and/or a bad TA. Other than that the material is pretty simple. The class requires alot of time but nothing to confusing, just alot of observing and working on the group project.

Spring 2024 - I thought the overall class was straightforward, with 5 exercises relating to readings/lectures/video recordings as well as two multiple choice exams. The jeopardy reviews our TA's went over during discussions as well as the study guides provided by the Professor were more than enough to prepare yourself for the exams. There are assigned readings, but discussions serve to break these chapters down to ease the workload of the class. I would recommend attending every discussion as well as memorizing the study guides. She also gives extra credit at the beginning of every lecture if you answer one of her questions relating to previous class material. The class isn't as difficult as you would imagine and the Professor was solid in her efforts.
