Reviews of professor Mariana Craciun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Medical Sociology- She assigns a lot of readings but as long as you skim them and have a good idea of what they mention and participate in class, you're good to go. Essays should definitely reflect class discussions. She's a very fair grader, but not extremely easy. Just be engaged and she'll respect you.

Medical Sociology - the course is interesting and covers a wide range of topics so there will be something interesting for you covered. The readings are a lot but most of them are interesting. Most of your grade is on participation with class discussions every class but there are reading quizes and book reports (it's a tier-1 writing).

Professor Craciun was a fantastic instructor. She gave everyone a chance to speak up in class, and although papers are graded harshly there are loads of extra credit opportunities. There is also a large amount of reading, but she manages to find interesting articles that lead to even more interesting discussions.

prof Craciun's class is pretty straightforward. She puts large emphasis on attendance/ participation, but her group discussions/ readings are very interesting. Workload is manageable w 2 book reports, weekly "pop" quizzes on readings, and a take home final. class is great intro to world of medicine, sociology, and is good tier 1 writing HIGHLY REC

Professor Craciun is very sweet and caring. This class was definitely interesting and opened my eyes more than I expected it to. There were a total of 4 assignments: 2 essays, 1 presentation, and 1 open note take home final. However, next year she will be adding quizzes over the readings. So beware because there is a reading due each day of class.

Professor Craciun may be one of the most generous and caring professors I've ever had. She is truly just a kind person and really cares about her students doing well. This semester was obviously weird with going online, and she changed the syllabus completely in order to help us adjust. I would highly recommend her. She's awesome.

Dr. Craciun has very set standards about what she expects for the two book reports and the written take-home final. There is a lot of reading outside of class, but the quizzes are reasonable. Dr. Craciun has regular office hours and is very accessible. A lot of your grade is based on attendance, so you must show up to class.
