SOC 3490

Professor Makarova is the sweetest professor I've ever had at UVA. She truly cares about this topic and makes it really interesting. I'm not in the A school or sociology and I found it totally manageable as long as you do the readings and come to class.

Professor Makarova is wonderful- very kind, interesting, and intelligent. She allows for a lot of time for discussion and to interact with students outside of class. Course material is interesting-- we did seem to go through topics slowly, but I certainly grasped them fully. Pretty light, interesting reading and very fair exams. Highly recommend!

Prof. Makarova is the absolute sweetest! Honestly, as long as you offer any insight or just even ask a generic question, she'll really appreciate you. There were 8 journals based on the weekly readings. The material was really straightforward and the exams were fairly easy. It's a class where you can get an A for effort.

Class was not too bad although if you are not a sociology major or A school person it might just be a bit boring. The readings can sometimes be long but professor is very fair. As long as you put in effort you should do fine. I would recommend also writing down what she says about the readings and studying that as she explains the main takeaways in class. The tests are super fair and she grades fair.
