Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Umamaheswar is an amazing professor who actually makes coming to class worth it. Crim can be a heavy and dense subject but she goes out of her way to help students in any way she can to keep up with the material. Her class discussions are always entertaining and she keeps the class engaged. 10/10 recommend taking her, you won't regret it!

Each week class was on FlipGrid and we had to record a video of ourselves and post responses to 2 classmates, very easy and easy A if you keep up with the videos. She is so nice and very very compassionate with everything going on in the world these days. 10/10

Dr. Umamaheswar had to be the most compassionate professor I've ever had. The course did have a lot of components that went into it, so it's only an "easy A" if you work for it and put in effort. Even with the pandemic of COVID-19, Dr. U helped us get through the course and adjust to virtual learning. I would take her class a thousand times over.

Nicest prof ever. No phones in class but she makes it fun and makes sure everyone is generally engaged. It is clear that she has a passion for sociology. The workload isnt too heavy, and as long as you do the readings and write the bi-weekly journal entries you will easily pass the class with at least a B

Professor Umamaheswar is such an amazing professor. Her classes were enjoyable and she really relates to her students. She understands that life is unpredictable and is very understanding as long as you communicate with her. The only reason I got a B+ and not an A- is because I had a family emergency and missed a week of class. Love her!!!
