Heather Rollwagen

She is very nice, and fun to listen to, but her grading is horrible. She can't give clear feedback and won't give you anything above an 80-85 even if you deserve it. She told me my paper was perfect and I barely got an A. She uses a textbook, but the readings are super short. Her lectures are also fairly short.

Heather is very sweet. She is like a cool, smart friend that wants the best for you. You can tell that she cares about sociology and knows a lot about it. Show up to class and do the small readings each week and you should have no problem succeeding!

Dr. Rollwagen's SOC 105 is my favourite course at TMU so far. She is incredibly understanding and accommodating. The course material is fascinating and it is VERY obvious that this Prof loves sociology and is very passionate about what she teaches. She is insightful, intelligent and caring. Highly recommend!

You can tell that she really cares about her students and what she teaches. She goes off of a powerpoint each week but elaborates about everything so its important that you go to class to catch everything she says. My TA, Calvin was amazing, he always had an answer to our questions and he was easy on the eyes too :)

She's really nice, I like her! The only thing I wish would change was if the tests weren't literally half of your grade (there are two and they're both worth 25%). Everything else is fine, it's just the testing portion. Aside from that, she's an amazing prof who genuinely wants you to do well. Would love to take her again, but with no math involved

Professor Rollwagen is amazing. Literally the sweetest prof ever and she is so concise and detailed with her lectures. I have always left learning something new and feeling good about the course. She's awesome wish i could have her again for sure

She barely taught this course. Mostly used videos from Youtube and made us read the textbook. Assignments were very vague. TAs were really tough with grading and did not provide clear feedback. She didn't have a clear grading criteria. I didn't learn much from this course and it made me not want to continue with sociology anymore

I didn't really appreciate the flipped approach as the course concepts are quite challenging and I was hoping she could dedicate some time in the lecture to review it. Her assignment instructions and expectations are unclear and are noted only after she marked it. Her midterm is also quite challenging and tricky (note the specific word she uses)

Overall, Heather was an okay professor. Her midterm was super challenging even if you studied and attending all labs/classes. An exam with only 35 questions to cover the entire semester is unfortunate so you really have to know everything from day 1. She marks hard on the projects so be sure to go to her office hours for lots of clarification/help.

The class itself was okay, I liked that we watched the lecture videos at home and in class did practice scenarios since it was helpful but the midterm was very difficult. For a stats class it was very theory based and not math heavy.
