the best professor! very interested and passionate about the topic, and manages to make lectures feel interesting. no midterm and final, the grade was just composed of attendance, quizzes, 1 page papers, and group discussions. she listened to student feedback very well |

Professor Branigan really knows her stuff, she is definitely qualified to teach sociology and teach it well. However, sometimes it felt like class was dragging on when it didn't need to be. The content is interesting for sure, however I took the 1 hour and 15 minute version of this course and I felt like I was going to die. I have attention span issues so maybe that's just me, but I was dozing off after the 50 minute mark with 25 minutes still left in the class. Don't get me wrong though, Branigan is one of the easiest professors I have EVER had. You get points just for showing up, and if you miss class you can do an easy alternate participation assignment to make it up. She also had no midterm or final and instead gave us easy little 10 point ELMS quizzes every few weeks. The only assignments you really get are a blog-style 1 page reading response biweekly, but this was seriously so easy. Usually when I see that we have to write essays for a class I panic and drop it, but these are definitely not something to worry about because they are graded very lightly (and worth 100 points which is music to my ears), and the readings she assigns are just short little articles that take no time to read and are not hard to comprehend. Oh, and also, there's a discussion for this class and you get assigned a group at the beginning of the semester, and every couple weeks you meet with them on zoom/in person to discuss stuff in the class. There isn't a worksheet for discussion, however when it is your turn to be a discussion leader you just take your group members discussion posts and copy paste them on a doc then talk about the questions in the discussion, real easy. So yeah, I was a bit bored but lets be real, this class was super easy and Branigan is one of the most qualified, passionate, AND fair professors I have ever had. Easy A for sure. |

Amazing lecturer and very kind. Throughout the semester she tried hard to listen to and follow up on student feedback, altering aspects of the course (like attendance and grading policies) to accommodate for what we needed. It's clear she has a passion for sociology and it shines through in her lectures, which were interesting, engaging, relevant to anyone (we live in a society). Useful class and one of my favorite professors. |

Amazing professor. Made Sociology interesting and constantly engaged her students. She made the classroom setting feel accepting and relaxed. The workload of this class is also not bad at all, very managable. |

She is a very knowledgeable professor and the content for the most part was pretty interesting, but a lot of it was common sense. She really wants all her students to succeed and takes feedback from us pretty well. The course is not hard, you just have to do two discussions posted each week and reading responses every two weeks. There are no major tests, only quizzes. The class was on zoom. |

This has been my favorite class I've ever taken. The professor is super chill and relates to us students very well. I loved her classes in person but they were also very engaging online. The last zoom session nobody wanted to say good bye. |
