I took soc of mental illness during summer sessions. There were three papers, and weekly journals. NO EXAMS! The first paper was a 5-6 page self-diagnosis paper, the second one is an essay about 6-8 pages, and the third one is a final project around 7-8 pages. The professor is nice although the class is kind of boring. You've got to buy the expensive course reader because all of your papers must cite from that reader. DON'T TAKE WITH KATE CEREDONA! SHE IS THE WORST TA I'VE EVER MET! SHE'S SUCH A FxxKIN' BxTCH! The professor graded the journals and TA graded papers. Well, yeah, that BxTCHY TA have 88% control of the grade.

This class is so pointless. However, it is easy to get a good grade. All you have to do is turn in a weekly journal and do two essays. In the essays and journals you just have to regurgitate the readings. The disscusion sections were required so it was a pain just because it was so boring but not hard at all. I am not a sociology major and I still got an A in the class. I would not want to take a class from her again but if you need this sort of class you can get by fairly easily.
