Good class! Professor helps you a lot and you learn a lot of new stuff. If you do bad it's bc you don't do the work. Take her if you want to put the work in. She helped me out a lot in office hours to pass the course.

Great class, has doable papers, quizzes and exams based on lectures and readings, and always there when you need her to help with course understanding. Easy to keep up with well organized modules and 24 hour exam periods. I enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend it to others. I have nothing negative to say about her.

Respectfully, 350 characters isn't enough. She is an interesting professor. Not much room to raise your grade unless you do good on tests. The subject was hard for me to grasp, and she goes off topic a lot for sure. But she doesn't want you to fail. Ask questions.. a lot. If you want to secure a good grade, do the readings 100%

Assignments were in class and very simple. She is friendly and does not shy away from difficult topics. This professor has her own sense of humor which always keeps class entertaining.

If you don't read the material you will be confused in class. Her lectures will make the most sense if you read the required material, but if you choose not too (I never read), just ask questions. She is always willing to answer questions and willing to clarify. The examples used during lecture will show up on the exam. 

*I had her for Soc150*

Shigihara has a dry sense of humor, and I think a lot of the negative reviews stem from that. She is passionate about the subject and makes the content interesting. Attend lectures & do the readings and the tests are easy. She is very willing to work with students who need extra help or credit. 3 tests, & some short weekly readings.

Attendance is mandatory since her lectures are filled with examples and group participation based on readings/textbook. Exams are based on lecture material and readings. She is a fun and easygoing professor who genuinely cares about her students' success. Very approachable if you have any queries/concerns.
