I took this class as an easy GE. Early in I realized I had mistaken the class for Soc 1 with Jepsen, not Anderson. Luckily while this class was not a walk in the park, it was very interesting and I ended up loving it. Do the readings, don't cry if you get 3/5's on the quizzes, put your opinion in the essays (don't just regurgitate the lecture material and add in vocab words-- I learned this the hard way after the first essay), participate in all discussions, and you will do fine. This class made me think differently and I can genuinely say the work is worth it.

Not the easiest A, but it not impossible either as long as you keep up with the readings. I am selling the course reader email me if interested at G*************

Honestly I hated this bitch. her lectures are boring as fuck and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. her pop quizzes were extremely difficult, even when I did the reading I didn't remember the answers because the questions are so stupidly specific. she makes you buy this dumb book she wrote and she gives a shit ton of reading. the only good thing is that there are no midterms/final, just two papers. however, this is extremely dependent on your ta and I did badly because mine sucked. don't take soc 1 with anderson!!!

I'm going to be super biased. I've had this professor twice and I absolutely love her. The class is really interesting and the readings are manageable and interesting. She's also really helpful if you ask her for help. She's really approachable. I would definitely recommend her. I feel like it's an easy GE because its enjoyable. The content is enjoyable and relatable.
Take her class you won't regret it!

I took Soc 1 with Prof. Anderson in fall of 2015 and I loved it! It was my favorite class.
She isn't the most engaging professor because she usually just stands up at her podium and talks for 75 minutes straight, but because the material is really interesting it's not hard to stay focused if you try. There are two papers, a midterm and a final, and both were pretty straightforward to write. If you get a good TA, this class will be very straightforward and pretty easy to get a good grade in. Oh and she also gives 5 pop quizzes worth alot, and I was pretty worried about it, but I did pretty well on all of them without reading everything in detail. I'd recommend taking her!

Text me at ********** if you need the entire required books necessary for Terri Anderson, Intro to Socio 1 course! I took this course in 2015 Fall so it's all up to date. I will also answer any questions.

AVOID THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EASY A IN A GE! She changed the structure of the glass so that there are reading quizzes that straight up ruin your grade. There is an absurd amount of reading considering almost everyone takes this class as a GE, as the course reader is over 1200 pages, in conjunction with two other textbooks, including a bs one thats a ridiculous "guide to life" in college that she wrote herself. I spent as much time on this class as I did for my other two classes combined. Even if you do all the readings, the quizzes are so tedious and specific that getting 3/5 is an accomplishment. The quizzes are also 20% of your final grade, which can really drag you down since only 4 go into the gradebook.

The only thing worse than her wardrobe is her teaching style. No lecture notes, no powerpoint, no nothing. She is also basically a socialist, so if you even if you are pretty middle of the road in your political beliefs like I am, you'll get tired of hearing her praise Karl Marx and bash capitalism for three weeks. I didn't really learn a lot about sociology either, as the latter part of the class is essentially pushing for social change and equality and expressing incredibly leftist views about society.

Bottom line, if you're looking for an easy GE, avoid this class.

This class has been largely restructured. The pop quizzes WRECKED me and all of my friends. It's not impossible if you have time to do the readings but if you take this class with a bunch of other hard classes thinking that this one will be an easy GE and allow you to breathe for a little, you are dead wrong. The grade distribution is no longer accurate (40% As lol what a dream).

I've done well for the most part. Submitted all my journals, participated in discussion, got an A on the experiment. But your grade is also highly dependent on your TA. I've been good at writing all my life but got an abysmal score from my TA. Because of this midpaper score, combined with my quiz scores (they're all 4 out of 5 points), I can barely manage a B in the class. lol ridiculous for a supposedly GE. be warned.
