Reviews of professor Mary Scherer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved this professor and the class. She has wonderful and informative lectures, gives good feedback, and made me wish I'd at least minored in Sociology. Her love of the subject inspires you to want to learn more. The readings are engaging and I actually delved further on my own. Her syllabus was clear and she was constantly in touch via email, etc.

Professor Scherer is clearly passionate about how minorities are affected in the real world and has opened my eyes to new perspectives. She is such a gem and I loved her class. 14 weekly readings & discussions but you can pick and choose which ones to do (choose only 7 discussions and 10 small quizzes out of the 14 readings) + 3 exams. Take her!

Professor Schere is the best professor I've ever taken at Sam. She is very smart and knows what she is talking about. The syllabus is very detailed in what you have to do. There is a total of 12 discussion memos (you only need to do 7( and 14 quizzes (you only need to do 10), and two test total. If you want to truly learn, you need to take her.

Extremely tough grader. I fought tooth and nail for this A. Falsely accused me of plagiarism because the photos I took for my photo essay "looked like they were from the internet". Like sorry I'm a decent photographer? Overall a very unpleasant experience.

She is an alright professor in my opinion, was the hardest class for me this semester. Uses lockdown browser for final exam, she does give clear instructions but you will need a lot of time in advance to make sure assignment have everything she wants. Very critical grader.

I enjoyed this class! She's very passionate about Social Inequality, which shows through the time and energy she puts into the class and her lectures. The class is pretty easy, you have quizzes and discussion memos that are due every week. You will only have a midterm and a final.

Took her for social inequality. There's at least two readings every week, you have to do a discussion memo for one and a quiz for the other. There's a midterm and final, and a group project over an assigned book that you have to write a book report over. She's really nice and she's the type to work with you if you need help.

Scherer is a tough grader but will give you good feedback. If you don't expect someone to critique your work, then do not take this professor. The professor makes class interactive so you don't get bored easily. Participation is important to maintain a good grade. Her class seems a lot at first, but you learn quite a lot. oh and no extra credit!!
