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!!!

Don't take this GE unless you plan on pulling all nighters. She was a good professor, she made me interested in the topic and she knew what she was talking about. Very monotone though and that bored me. She had funny moments though. The workload was SO BAD. I stayed up so late doing her readings for the pop quizes and still failed them. Its an easy class, just a LOT of work. I had a good TA and discussion so that made me want to learn more about sociology. But Prof. Anderson isnt very helpful. She gives take home essays vs in class finals so that is nice. Grading is based on 2 essays, participation, attendance, and pop quizes. The pop quizes can really screw your grade over so naturally you want to do good, but that means reading about 200 pages a night, and soon the material gets repetitive.

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!
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.
NOT AN EASY GE
-pop quizzes are based off readings, so you have to do them all to get those quiz points
-grade is very TA-dependent... (I had Diya Bose and she was tough)
Selling package of books:
-Course Reader
-This Book Is Not Required (thats the title...actually)
-Sociology: A Brief Edition

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.
