It's very clear by these posts that some students are salty about grades. If you love sociology, attend class , LISTEN, and are willing to put the work in, you will do well in Brigid's classes. She does not hold your hand through assignments, and will not grade high for mediocre work. She answers emails promptly f they are reasonable and polite.

Prof Burke is knowledgeable, passionate and clear. Lectures were interesting, but readings were hard and there were too many. Very hard marker, my grade will be about 10% lower than other soc grades. Even when I asked for feedback and made corrections based on it, my grades were still low. Follow her email instructions if you want a response.

She is by far the worst TA Ive ever had. Completely disorganized, irresponsible and doesnt answer her emails! Students emailed her for clarification on her comments, asked questions and no response at all! If she isnt capable of fulfilling basic TA responsibilities, she shouldnt be a TA cause her poor skills ultimately reflects our marks.

Beware... this professor assigns way too many readings, the exam and midterm are multiple choice only, and worst of all GROUP PROJECT for 35% of your grade!! The TA marks harshly, too. I would not suggest this prof if you are worried about your GPA. The one bonus is that she doesn't do late penalties, but that makes the group project rough

Honestly a jerk of a TA. Casually gives the lowest marks because she found the essays so boring and never checks her emails. 0/10. Would never want her to teach again.

she was such a good prof until our final project and exam, which were clearly marked in a way that reflected that they wanted to bring down the class average. its one thing to be marked down & be given justifiable reasons why, but there was practically no feedback? otherwise shes fine, lectures are made easy to follow and workload isnt insane.

Tried giving her the benefit of the doubt despite the ratings but they were all proven true. Biggest issue I had with her is that she was almost impossible to reach outside of class so if you need to speak to her about something try and catch her after class cause she'll most likely never get back to your message/email on quercus.

She assigned about 100 pages of reading per week. Also a group project worth 30% of our final grade. She also doesn't respond to the discussion board or emails so good luck! And neither did the TA, who also took 2 grade a 500 word response and she graded harshly. Probably the worst sociology course I've ever taken.
