Reviews of professor Orly Clerge

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was great and the professor is really knowledgeable. I think its unfair to grade the memos harsh when the format of the document she provides may effect our grade (no partial credit; all points or none). Grading was the only issue for me personally, other than that this was one of my favorite upper division SOC classes.

there were lots of group projects with unclear guidelines. It was a lot of work with not a lot of pay off. She was also at times rude to the students, shaming them for asking questions. It was not a healthy learning space.

Ive taken professor Clerge twice and shes honestly one of my favorite professors. Race and ethnicity are my favorite topics to discuss and she does a good job at presenting knowledge in a way that makes you want to learn even more. Shes a tough grader, but very clear on what she wants. If you actually want to learn, take her.

Too many papers -- 6 one-page memos, 1 midterm paper (6 pgs), and a final paper (8 pgs). There were also so many readings, miscellaneous worksheets, and a ton of group work (and, I mean a TON). Look, I have straight A's and I got a great grade in this class, but oml -- I will never be her student again. Don't walk away from this class, run.
