took her at UMCP and she was the most friendly/caring/funny prof I've ever had. very passionate about sociology & really cares about her students. lots of extra credit opportunities, easy hw. relates the material back to the real world/current things to help us understand. learned a lot from her, amazing person and professor. highly recommend.

Great personality. Study for the exams, but they aren't too hard. The videos she plays are sometimes weird or kind of pointless, but besides that it's fine.

She seems to actually care about you and how you do. The textbook is useful, but she basically just repeats the textbook during lectures. No computers are allowed in most of her classes. Lectures can get boring, especially if you read the textbook before, but I'd rather boring than confusing. If you try, you will succeed.

Professor Crane is by far one of the best teachers I have taken this semester! The groupwork is fairly easy as long as students read, do the quiz, and, do the assignment. The tests are on 3 chapters at a time which is easy to manage as long as you understand the concepts. The peer mentors and the teacher assistant were also very helpful!

Professor Crane is awesome. She is enthusiastic and energetic every single class. She covers the material very well and uses tons of examples to help you remember. I definitely recommend her.

Professor Crane really is an enthusiastic professor when it comes to sociology. The class schedules is divided between lecture days and group work days. Her lectures are very in depth with lots of real-world examples, helping us students to connect. The group work was another way to study up on sociology. The textbook was barely used.

She really cares about her students and if I could I would definitely take this class again. If you have the chance to take her I say completely go for it!! She gives our weekly individual assignments but theyre mainly straightforward. She also gives a concept guide w the main topics that will be on the exam which is also extremely helpful. 10/10!

I would recommend taking her for this class, she's a great professor and it's honestly not that hard. There's homework due once a week, easy group assignments, mandatory review class before test day (which is so convenient). The content is very interesting and easy to enjoy & understand.
