Dr. Pernick will oftentimes ramble on for most of the lectures, but the readings are pretty interesting and the class is an easy A+. Despite the lectures not always being so interesting, Dr. Pernick is the sweetest guy in existence and he is genuinely interested in your performance as a student and what your takes/interests are.

If you want an easy A take him. 60% of my grade was from easy online homework through Revel, 15% included beginning of the class quizzes that are extremely easy, and the last 25% you had the option of taking a final or doing a group project/ presentation. He is very sweet and kind. I went to his office hours and he always gave interesting and helpful information about the class. Lectures are boring, but participation mattered so I went almost every class.

Professor Pernick is a very nice older man who clearly is very passionate about Sociology. He knows what he is talking about and has background experience in business, which allows him to bring an interesting perspective to the topic. While he is excited about Sociology and has interesting examples and video clips that relate, he is not the greatest teacher. His lectures are pretty boring and tend to be straight from the textbook. We had three graded papers (1-2 pages), a group term paper, and midterm and final exams. He grades the independent papers very easily. I have yet to finish the group term paper but I can tell you that planning for it has been a nightmare. His midterm was very, very difficult and terribly organized, but he realized this and curved our scores significantly afterwards. His classes are easy to skip because we have so few assignments and you can get by with reading the chapters he goes over in class. Hopefully an easy A for me. Overall, he is an approachable, adorable man, but not the greatest Sociology teacher.
