Reviews of professor Margaret Ralston

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Her class was very manageable and the due dates for writing assignments and quizzes stayed the same every week so I never missed an assignment. The class was extremely boring and very PowerPoint/lecture-heavy. She shows a few videos and documentaries throughout the semester. Overall easy but boring class.

Dr. Ralston was an amazing professor. I enjoyed this class a ton but that is mainly because I love sociology as much as she does. Lectures are engaging. The weekly quizzes and writing assignments are very easy. I highly recommend Dr. Ralston if you have to take this course. She is very caring and usually available after class if you have questions.

Dr. Ralston is super passionate about demography and what she teaches. You will need the textbook as there are weekly reading reflections, but she's a lenient grader and the tests reflect the material that she teaches on very well. Sometimes the lectures get a little boring and there are some group activities, but overall it's not a hard class.

Her lectures are easy to follow, but the exams are nothing like the class lecture. All of the quiz answers are on quizlett, so those are easy. You really have to read the book and ask a lot of questions to prepare for the exams.

Dr. Ralston is pretty laid back. There are no papers in this class, and only two tests. You have a writing and reading assignment each week. The class can get kind of repetitive and boring. Sometimes we would watch a documentary or do a fun assignment to have a day without lecture. She does treat the whole class like freshman though.

This might be the most useless class ive ever taken in my life. Get ready to do 2 hours of pointless busy work homework that is so pointless. Ive never felt like ive wasted so much time in my life.

Extremely easy class, you might luck up and the test online only, which means you can just google all the answers. Two massive problems for me, was that despite respecting people's pronouns and being a caring prof. She misgendered Nex Benedict (The child that was murdered in Oklahoma), and referred to "transgender" as being as a third gender. so...

This class was way too much work compared to other sociology classes. It is a 1003 class it is not that serious, please stop assigning so much work just because your TAs grade it for you. Guys just take someone else that will actually treat this class like a 1003.

You MUST get the textbook and READ it for this class. There are not many tests so be sure to be prepared for each one. Quizzes are all online and you can find answers on quizlet. Attendance is mandatory and worth a portion of your grade.
