Great teacher in class, and has engaging lessons. I think his classes are straight forward and the exams are based off lecture and the readings. Readings might be a lot and slides are not posted. Taking off a star because he does not format the grades in canvas. You will not know your final grade until the class is over because he doesn't weight them. |

Overall decently taught class— but all of the grades in this class revolve around exams on the lectures and reading. If you're a student that's better at writing or doing projects, just know that this professor relies extensively on tests. I'm a bad test taker so I didn't do that good in this class unfortunately. |

He is a very kind man that cares a lot about what he is teaching. He tries to engage students and listens to critiques from them and adjusts accordingly. The exams aren't terribly difficult but you do have to do the readings because there is a large section just on those. I only took off a star because he doesn't post his slides. I understand he wants it as incentives for students to come to class, but it can be irritating when I miss a day for reasons or I don't get all the notes taken down. He's very sweet and very passionate about sociology and wants his students to be as engaged. Overall, he's a kind man that wants his students to succeed. He can curve exams but its not guaranteed. |

Pretty good class, the professor makes his expectations clear from the beginning of the course. He doesn't post his lectures, but I think that's reasonable considering that his exams are open note, and it's easy to get notes from another classmate if you need to miss a day. Along with the open note exams, there's also about 6-8 pop quizzes throughout the course, but they're not hard as long as you pay attention during lecture (only a few basic questions about what was covered in the most recent lecture). There are a few lab assignments that are graded mostly on participation, and a term paper at the end of the course that was interesting since you get to do research on any topic you want. Not too hard overall, completing the readings probably take the most time, but they can be interesting. |
