Spring 2024 - I've been in quite a few classes with Dr. Rensel, and SocGen 102 was honestly no different. Prof Rensel is very qualified to be a lecturer, she is approachable, makes very organized slides and incorporates relevant topics into the material each time. I really liked that this course had so many guest lecturers throughout the quarter, and they gave really detailed insight on the various topics. Some of the class felt like review of material I've covered in previous SOCGEN courses, however, I get that some students were taking to course as a GE. Hats off to Dr. Rensel once again.

Spring 2022 - I love professor Rensel. She is extremely accommodating, caring, and very engaged with the class. Her lectures were interesting and everything you need for the test is in the lectures. The readings were a bit annoying as they are long and you need to read them for the weekly quizzes. However, it does solidify the information taught in lecture. Love this class and I will take another class with her.

Fall 2020 - Professor Rensel once again was an amazing professor. She constructed this class very well and made it very fair. This class is basically just setting up for a large group project that was worth around 50% of the grade. But she broke down the steps in the project to make the actual final group project to be worth only 16% of the grade. The rest of our grade came from annotations on Pearsall and participation. I am not sure if this is normal or if it was just because I took the class online during the COVID-19 lockdown
