Reviews of professor Elena Alvarado-Strasser

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class made me think about deviance in a totally different way which is cool. The assignments really connect to the real world, so I didnt hate doing them. Not too much work and she answers questions really quickly. Sociology isnt my major but I liked this class.

Professor Alvarado-Strasser is awesome! Shes really clear in her expectations and gives us interesting assignments and the contract grading was a life saver. It's not everyday you get a Professor that you can tell is actually invested in you learning. That's actually pretty rare nowadays. Take her if you have to take sociology!!

The stuff in her class feels related to real life and the contract grading she uses is interesting and feels fair. She talks kinda fast, but you get used to it.

She was nice, but a tough grader. She assigned a lot of work, but it was doable IF you're organized. Weekly reading, writing, journal, and discussions.

She is one of the few who I would consider to be a really good professor full of energy, and even take the effort to learn everyone's names. Her lectures are very informative and engaging, and she encourages students in the class to interact with each other. Homework assignments are repetitive every week, and is graded by effort.

Great Professor, I really enjoyed her class and the lessons with the lectures were really intriguing. I learned a great deal of sociological concepts from the class and I really recommend her if you are looking to learn and grow! *just remember to do ALL your assignments on time and don't forget your journals ;

Easy class, but very boring. She seems like a nice person and respects different opinions, but the class is all about the woke stuff - systemic racism, sexism, white supremacy, etc.. . College is not about thinking critically anymore, it's just a way to teach you WHAT to think and stay distracted from the real powers surpassing us all from above...

She kinda rude. But do your assigments, you will be find. I just can't stand the way she yelling at others and assume that they are wrong.

One of my favorite professors. Her lectures are very engaging and her work overload is pretty good. You get credit for just doing the work but you have chances for asking for feedback The homework is pretty much the same reading, reading preps for discussion, weekly journal, engagement papers. I overall learned a lot from this class.

Best prof. I have ever had. Love her grading scale, and if you put forth effort she is very understanding of your struggles. Encourages you to think deeper and there are no bad ideas. I'm taking another of her classes next semester. No complaints from me and I am someone who always complains.
