Many students enjoyed that this course required the hands-on field experience in research. Also students learned how to create a qualitative sociological essay and connected with their classmates. The disorganization of this course lessened the quality of this course and there were no clear instructions given to students. In addition, students felt like there wasn’t enough time to complete their work. Suggestions for improvement include: a different professor and more guidance. Prospective students should think twice about taking this course, especially if it isn’t required.
