Reviews of professor Clare Maakestad

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I took sociology online and it was still one of my favorite classes this semester. The professor makes the class fun and creates sort of a safe, calm environment. She always is there to help. Just make sure you do the homework (which is very easy) and you'll get a good grade as well as learning a thing or two. Discussions are the best in this class

She has her expectations but she wants you to succeed. Come with an open mind and you'll do fine.

The best online professor Ive had. She has clear instructions in her emails and makes the homework easy to understand. She gives good feedback on the projects and homework. The nicest teacher ever. She does not make your life stressful like other teachers. Do your homework and you will pass. Highly recommend her!

Although she seemed well intentioned, she came off kind off cold and uncaring almost anytime I reached out to her or was confused about something. With the online class, she really didn't do much to teach us other than tell us our assignments. The textbook is also extremely bias, with the author even referencing her own studies to make her points.

If you do the homework you'll be fine, but beware there is a significant amount of stuff that needs to be completed and she really doesn't teach you anything at all, or give you feedback on anything like she claims she would throughout the semester. Your learning is solely based upon a book that has very unrealistic one sided viewpoints.

Amazing professor. Easy to reach outside of class and understanding. Weekly quiz, discussion board with required response to classmate, and (mostly) weekly lab. The labs were just observing "sociology" in the real world and writing about it. Textbook required was an online subscription. Extra Credit clear from the beginning, and one final paper.

She's very understanding but there are quite a few assignments. On the plus side there was not tests :)

Not only is it a very easy class to take if needed for a social science, but is also super interesting. The labs can be tedious at some points, but they do not take long and can be fun if you enjoy what you are learning. If I had her in person, I think I would have loved the class just as much.

I am about to finish my first semester of college, and she has been so helpful in my transition. She is extremely understanding of you missing a class if you have a situation going on, as long as you let her know ahead of time. She doesnt give out tests, and just does super easy online quizzes. She really set the bar high for my other professors
