Student Feedback

“I genuinely enjoyed going to this class every week and really appreciate Mackenzie and her teaching style. She is kind, professional, funny, and also very relatable. It did not feel like a chore to go to her class; the curriculum, discussions, and assignments were all worth while and relevant. Would take again, and would recommend to peers!” — Technology and Society, University of Oregon

“The way this professor explained and taught content…kept students engaged and excited about the context! Really enjoyed this class and instructor! ” — Sociology of Gender, University of Oregon

“Mackenzie was integral to the student's success. She not only prepared us for lecture materials, but also aimed us in our own projects. Her knowledge and mastery was evident. I do not know if I would be able to do this course without her. Her slides were easy to understand and extremely thorough. She was always attentive and willing to meet outside of class if you were struggling.” — Graduate Statistics II, UC Irvine (2023)
