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.

Winter 2024 - Do not take this class, professor Stiver's is awful. It is a bummer because I actually love the content of this class and it is very interesting, but Professor Stiver's ruins it. She assigns an insane amount of reading. She has no empathy for her student's needs, and honestly is rude. She purposefully makes the exam questions to trick you. She is not accommodating at all. And we had a mini paper due every 2 weeks and she had the TAs grade insanely harshly. It was an opinion pieces and we then got docked points for our opinions. Do not take this class. Professor Stiver's is the worst professor I have ever had at ucla.
