Dawn Dow SOCY457 Anonymous 11/04/2024	Dr. Dow is a very nice woman and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable and she knows what she's talking about. She assigns two pretty long readings each week and one quiz per reading (so two quizzes a week). Lecture slides are posted. While she did take attendance during the beginning of the semester, I'm not sure if she continued to do so. She focuses a lot on theorists and scholars and their theories. Sometimes it can be hard to retain information during lectures as she can talk really fast and go through information fast. Midterm was on paper and was a lot of writing, but she allowed us to bring in a cheat sheet. During the last five weeks of the semester, there is a group presentation each class that relates to the assigned reading. We also have to interview people of our choice and write a paper about this. Overall, she's a good professor but class can get a bit boring, especially when the assigned articles are so long that most people are not reading them.
