Reviews of professor Orly Clerge

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Probably one of the worst classes I've taken here- I didn't feel supported/guided through challenging assignments and the reading memo's every day killed my other classes. She's knowledgable but barely inspiring and it took a lot to stay interested in the class.

I actually took SOC130 but it did not give me the option. The professor was not a bad teacher and I did not miss but one class but it was hard to constantly turn in readings memos. She constantly changed the requirements/ expectations on the assignment so it was hard to grasp what she wanted it to look like with no rubric!!

Never reply email. If you hate group project, run fast.

Professor Clerge gave us good readings and additional (optional) readings to help for our research project. I enjoyed the nature of the lectures and project about urban inequality. I strengthened my ability to write a research essay for our final :) Harsh grading on was an issue for most, but overall good class quality and knowledgeable professor.

There were also a lot of reading memos throughout the course, and sometimes it feels like she sped through lectures. But midway through the quarter, my cousin unfortunately passed and she understood; even empathized with me on how her father passed during her undergraduate. gave me an extension on my group paper  definitely saved my partner and I

Reading memos are time consuming and there is one due every class. This professor seems to forget we are taking other classes besides hers. No tests, one midterm paper and one final paper. Everything including the reading memos are very harshly graded. Had to buy two reading books, one was hers that had just been published.

She's a good person and the class is bearable. But she either straight off reads off the lecture slides or has blanks on the lecture slides and wants us to fill in the information. The class is very discussion based and there's a big group paper for the final at the end.

Dont mind that i put another course it didnt let me add soc 007. She was a good professor, it was reading heavy but overall a really fun class, midterm and final was group papers and a final film. It wasnt a slay if you dont like working with other people but it was slay cause the hw was easy to an extent if you read the materials.

Lots of readings (1-3 per week) with weekly summary post or short quiz, partner essay for midterm and final about racial economical inequality. Lectures are pretty clear, short 20-min discussion during class. SOC007 was a new class for her, so understandably was some challenges like last min requirements.
