Reviews of professor Stephanie Canizales

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were long but Prof Canizales loves sociology and wants everyone else to love it too. Honestly, it works. I didn't think I'd like the class or soci, but she made it relatable and interesting. I heard she stopped lecturing cus she was getting threats from students after teaching about racism and other touchy subjects in class. *sips tea*

it was her first year teaching and she's very passionate about teaching sociology. super nice and tries to make class entertaining. 15% of your grade is showing up to class/class participation. her expectations are pretty clear, there's 2 papers, a midterm, and final paper.

This class was life changing, reading is heavy but truly interesting and worth it ! Her criteria for her papers is very clear, go to office hours! She is extremely passionate, best professor I have ever had. Go to class and take notes, earn your grade it is a 400 level after all, people who left bad reviews probably aren't the best students.

She lectures every class with power points. She is nice but expects you to read from 2 different textbooks on your own. Very few grades including 3 research papers. Very unorganized towards the end of the semester because we got a new professor that came in to lecture for us while she still graded our work. Pretty confusing.

The hardest intro class Ive taken at A&M. You have to go to class to get participation points. She also takes forever to post grades. Be ready to read read read. I would not recommend this class to anyone. Do yourself a favor and take anyone other than her.

Literally one of the best professors at TAMU. So intelligent and genuinely caring for her students. Unfortunately, she had to leave halfway through the semester. But definitely one of my favorite professors!

Dr. Canizales is super sweet but she is not the best prof. She expects her students to have the same passion for sociology as she does, she grades by a few things and pretty heavy. The textbooks will be your best friend because she does not post her slides or let you get access to them. I would suggest taking another prof. if you need an A .

100 point class make up of 3 essays & 2 tests. I was stressed w/ every assignment. Expected you to come to class w/ 75 pages read for the week, but her lectures would sometimes repeat info & would sometimes not. Intelligent woman, knew her information & loved to talk about it. Highly encouraged participation. Gave extra credit opportunities.

Canizales is a pretty hard grader, tests are hard as well. Grade is made up of 3 essays and 2 tests, so you have to do well on basically everything to get a good grade. She is fine as a professor, but the material is rather dry/repetitive and there is lots of reading. However, you don't need to read much to pass, but attendance is a must.
