Theory is never fun, but Alyssa made it better. Instead of looking at old theories in depth, we would apply them to real life research and events. We had 2 classes dedicated to each theory (each with activities, and some sets of classes ending with one article discussion), a book club, midterm paper comparing theories (probably wouldve been better for a final), and final creative project (which could be substituted for an easy 5 MC 9 SA take home exam). Most projects had corresponding papers

She's widely known for being chill and easy. Also really nice and understanding.

I would recommend her SOCI 200 and FMST 314 to anyone. I would just recommend SOCI 415 to sociology majors fulfilling their contemporary theory (but not as an extra sociology course unless a GPA boost is REALLY needed)
