Reviews of professor Samantha Applin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
AMAZING PROFESSOR! She is so eager to teach and genuinely wants the best for you. She has amazing lectures. Had weekly readings about diff prisons in the world and I can say it changed my perspective on many. I learned a lot and it was a very informative course. Answered emails quickly. No tests, no final. Participate in the weekly readings!

Best professor in the current Social/crm department.

I loved Prof Applin. She made Sociology so interesting with her lectures, out of class assignments, and occasionally assigned group work. There were weekly chapter quizzes which were a little time-consuming to outline but so worth it. She was direct with what she assigned so there were no surprises. I would take her again if I could.

I have had Professor Applin a couple times now, and every time I read the syllabus I think "seriously?". It always seems like a ridiculous amount of work and tedious, but I always leave the classes feeling like I am engaged and learning so much! I highly recommend, especially if you really care about your major.

lectures are very interesting and she keeps you engaged. she doesn't post notes online so you need to come to class and write them so you wont be behind. every Monday there is a discussion from the reading where you actually need to participate and say something. only midterm and finals that are essay format. questions taken right from notes

Professor Applin is one of the most caring professors. She is incredibly knowledgeable. You will learn how to critical think and get new perspectives on how the criminal justice system works. There is a lot of reading articles but they are always interesting reads. Discussions are on every Thursday so be prepared to talk.

Applin is a great professor. Her lectures are very clear and shes very descriptive. You will NEED THE TEXTBOOK for the weekly assignments. Do well on the test but do even better on the weekly assignments, they weighed heavier than the test and dont plagarize on the assignment, she will know. There was one group presentation.

If you want an easy A, then this is not the class for you. Expect weekly readings, two tests, and a final presentation. You HAVE to participate in the group discussion or you dont get participation credit! Like i said this class is not an easy A, but if you do all the work you can def get an A or B

Professor Applin is a great professor, she really cares about her students and makes them think critically. She is always available to meet and go over things and see's things from all different perspectives. She is really understanding and the discussions are a big part of your grade not test heavy. Highly recommend!
