This was one of the first classes I took at Middlebury and it was so interesting and I felt the prof was super engaged with material and made us think a lot about the readings. We also were always connecting theories to each other from different sociologists which I found very interesting and thought provoking

“Deviance and Social Control” was one of the most thought-provoking courses I’ve taken. It dives deep into how societies define and respond to behaviors that fall outside accepted norms. The class explored a wide range of topics—from crime, subcultures, and mental illness, to the ways institutions like law enforcement, religion, and media enforce conformity. One of the best aspects of the course was how it challenged us to question what counts as “normal” and who gets to decide. We looked at both classic sociological theories and more modern case studies, which kept the material engaging and relevant.

Profesor Tiger is one of the most passionate professors I have had at Middlebury thus far. She is very engaging in her lectures (which is what make up most of the class as she does enjoy going on tangents). As a sociology major I found the content very interesting which probably played a roll in my enjoyment of the class. Professor Tiger is a pretty easy grader HOWEVER if she can tell you are taking her class because you have heard it is an easy A and not a lot of work with no exams (trust me she will know) she will not like you especially if you do not participate in class discussion and if it is clear you have not done the readings. Therefore if you are hoping for this class to be easy approach it as seriously as you would one of your more difficult classes and the dedication and hard work will pay of with an A almost guaranteed.
