1 midterm and 1 final. 5 easy written homework assignments. Research paper required, which to my knowledge eveyone did well on. Lowest exam grades were still in the high 80s-low 90s. Great personality.

Interesting teacher, made good conversation and was very interactive. Amount of work is very little- 2 exams and 10 pg paper. Answers better be comprehensive- easy to lose trivial pts

Easy class, didn't really like the teacher-just read straight from the notes, didn't really sound like she knew what she was talking about-tests were easy though, straight from notes

Review #6 / Course: SOCL 2001 / Instructor: DUMAIS S
Dumais seems like a nice lady, but her lectures are BORING. There's a lot of reading in order to make an A, and tests can be unnecessarily detail oriented. Maybe SOCL majors would like it.

Tests are impossible and aren't curved. Take someone else and save your GPA.

dumais was awesome, she has the best grading scale ever--your lowest test grade counted for the smallest percentage of your grade, she was super sweet and gave many opportunities for extra credit, take her for intro socl!!

This is a good honors class to take. It is interesting and Dumais is a good teacher. You watch occasional videos, which is always good. There is a 10 page paper at the end of the semester, but it wasn't too bad. I wrote it in like one night.

This class is a breeze and interesting. You get to watch a lot of interesting videos and Dumais is maybe the nicest teacher I've ever had. She's not out to fail anyone, I think literally everyone in my class got an A. Take her!

Take this class & take Ms. Dumais. She's so easy. Notes on the internet & no reason to go to class. Review your notes and the chapter before the test and you'll get an A, & she takes random attendance for bonus points if you do go.
