Re: Soc 216
this class with her is math for non-math majors, and full of sex and gender examples.
i was taking chem and physics at the same time, and i thought i might die, but obviously i didn't. are you a soc major? it's a necessary evil if you are, and of the profs that teach this class, she's about as good as you'll get. easy easy. at least it's not psycho libbie wheatly.
she's good about giving you the formulas and explaining things. class is painfully slow, and she must have taken role, becuase i recall frequent attendance on my part. does that help?
overall vote: yea, i suppose
