This guy is very smart and know what he is talking about.
Expect to do a lot of reading in this class and a lot of papers. We only had a midterm and final and together they counted as 90% of our grade. Doesn't grade too hard though. I wouldn't take him over.
loved him, he has a relaxing voice and won't stop until you understand something completely.
AWSOME PROF! 2 tests each 45% of grade, 10% is participation and a journal you keep about newspaper articles you read. The first test is 20 multilpe choice(20%)of first test then essay component which is take home and it is 80%. Second test 30 multiple choice(30%of test grade)-GO TO REVIEW tells you what is on it, essay is 70% and take home.
Good online class to take, replys to emails very quickly and is very helpful with questions. Make sure you participate a lot becuase that boosts your grade if you don't do so well on the essay portion of his tests.
Be prepared to read a lot. Group work can make or break your grade. Have to read 2-3 books a week and write a 3-5 page analysis on each book. Very stressful!
This class teaches you a lot about the importance of writing papers and knowing what you are talking about.

Dr. Porter cares deeply about his field and his students. He invited each of us interested in graduate school, even those with unrelated majors, to make an appointment to have lunch with him and get his advice about choosing and applying to schools. If you are motivated to learn and /or looking for a mentor, I highly recommend his classes.
Porter was a great professor. He is very passionate about what he teaches and how well you understand it. I loved going to that class. Very good conversations in class that related to topic being taught.
Dr. Porter is a very nice man and I found his intro class to be very challenging. It seemed like we discussed the same topics in class over and over. also, the large midterm/final papers were stressful. listen to what he says in class and do the weekly assignments--they'll definitely pay off in the long run!
This class is a lot of work but you will not regret it! Attendance is not mandatory, but I never missed class. Basically all class is is discussion, which was a lot of fun. Also, he was happy to give me time extensions on both papers, and he really wants you to do well. Definetly take this class!
Porter is an awesome guy. extremely helpful and gives weekly papers (writing coursE)to prepare you for midterm and final (10-12 pgs) which is the best idea. he is extremely intelligent in his field, i can honestly say ive learned more in his class than i have since attending college for the past 3 years. def recommend hisclass, but a lot ofwork!
Very hard Prof. Talks about himself and claims to be the hardest prof every single class. He is very smart but he tries to make you feel bad for being white. You will do A LOT of writing. Do NOT take him unless you want to do a lot of writing, leave class angry every day, and have a lot of stress.
Very fun professor. Spends first week talking about himself, but many profs do. The writing assignments, while sometimes tiresome, are very beneficial. He does a great job teaching and I would definitely suggest taking his class!
Prof. Porter was cool. He was really down-to-earth, and I could relate to some of the things that he talked about. People say that he was arrogant, but he made it clear on the first day of class that he is just confident in his abilities. Take his class because it gives you a better perspective of the world!
Do not take online for ANYTHING. Absolutely incomprehensible. Somehow the intelligent and helpful person talked about in these comments must disappear when he goes online as he appears to be neither. Is snide in response to students and writes on a third grade level in his lecture notes and worst of all contradicts his own syllabus at times.
I have Prof Porter currently for Social Problems. He is such a cool teacher, and the knowledge that you are able to garner from him will help you in every class! He shows you how to see things from a sociologist point of view, this skill has gone far for me; as i am now able to see the latent and manifest functions behind everything that we say or
I have him for Social Problems right now and honestly, I love this man. His lectures get a little boring, but if you do the papers (which are weekly but EASY)you will do fine in the class. He is funny and a great teacher. My writing skills and understanding of certain social problems have definitely improved.
I just finished his Social Problems class, and Porter is awesome. You do have to write a lot, but my writing skills have definitely improved, as well as my understanding for the subject.
for the bad rep that porter gets i really enjoyed his class. sure it's hard if you don't want to do the work, but the amount that you learn in his social problems class is crazy. porter is a good professor, maybe peoples' problems with him root from the fact that they're bad students. porter recommends great books and fosters interest in sociology.
Professor Porter is a good professor. His greatest fault, I think, is his negativity. He tries to talk you out of taking the class. However, it is best to stay in. You will learn a lot, and improve as a writer. I considered myself a good writer before this class, and he really stimulates improvement. The class was not easy, but totally worth it.
He is a tough prof, but if you do all the work you will without a doubt do well. He's a great prof and I've learned so much from his class. He is also really funny! Definitely take him!
Dr. Porter may seem extremely difficult at first but he is a great professor and person. This class social problems was a class that every student should take because it opens your eyes to a lot of problems that are in everyday life. Dr. Porter is a great professor who is always willing to help and grades very fairly ..all you have to do is read!
He makes himself out to be so tough and hard but he's not. You do read a lot of books and write a lot of paper, but you actually learn something. I recommend him.
I can't think of another class I appreciated as much as this one. It's a lot of work, a lot of reading and writing, and you have to understand the material, but it's definitely a class that prepares you for college level work. There are weekly papers, as well as a midterm and final. The midterm and final are 30 x-choice and a take home essay.
I took Dr. Porter for Intro. to Sociology over the summer. I really felt like I learned something. He required the reading of two books, plus concepts in the textbook. Overall, if you participated in the discussions online and knew basic concepts, you will be fine. Very leniant on grading written work. I would recommend him for class!
Dr. Porter is really cool, his class has tons of writing and it feels like your constantly reading. But as long as you keep up with assignments and SHOW UP he really helps you out by bumping up grades and giving out exams weeks in advance.
Porter brings nothing to the table as a professor. I have learned nothing from him. I have an appreciation for the subject only due to the books he assigned us to read. Usually he has little to add to clarify our readings. For the majority of the class, he wasted our time talking at length about himself, not sociology.
Although a lot of work, he is prob the most brilliant professor I have ever had. I enjoyed going to class and could listen to him talk all day.
At first it can be an overwhelming class but it gets easier throughout the semester. There are reading assignments every week with a 3 to 5 page paper due. It seems like a lot but it is a great class to take. He's such an interesting professor and I would take him again if I could!
LOVED HIM!I learned A LOT from this class.If you get nothing out of it,it is not HIS fault. It is a lot of work but well worth it.He keeps the material relevant to current events and trends.Young people,listen well and do your work,engage in conversation and stay on top of assignments.
Professor Porter's class requires alot of reading and writing. However, it is well worth the work and he makes the class very enjoyable.
Online Summer class. There was two novels to read, about 400 pages but they were super easy reads. You write blogs and have time limited tests. Overall a definite GPA booster. Plus for the textbook exams, you just look up answers through index.
Online sociology class. Terribly disappointed. He misspelled assignments, and obviously didnt proof read his exams. Did not provide any helpful information on sociology other than requiring the books to read- which were great. Overall- doesnt contribute anything worthwhile.
Porter is a great teacher. His class is not the easiest though but if your willing to do the work you can get an A. He he also very helpful outside of class.
this class makes you really think, he expects alot out of you and it can get overwhelming sometime but its well worth it. Hes not an easy teacher but alot of people do well in his class because of the structure
If you are not willing to write a 3-5 page paper every week and do a 12-14 page midterm and final do not take this class. Mandatory reading, and writing. Makes an English Comp class look weak. All texts are mandatory and must be read to pass class. Has an attendance policy, and will fail you for missing many classes. Be prepared to work.
The weekly papers help with the 12-14 page paper midterm and final. You'll find that it is hard to contain everything within 14 pages. Multiple choice exams are a little tricky, seems like he wants you to memorize the book. Class is mandatory, but he rarely takes attendance. It's an easy W course.
He tries to scare you and make the class seem hard in order to weed out all of the slackers. After the first week though, he relaxes and the class is fun. Lots of weekly writing but it really helps with the midterm and final, you can literally copy and paste your 3-5 page papers together without changing anything. Super easy W class.
LOVED HIM. yes you have to write a lot but it's really not that bad. you are in charge in whether or not you will fail. read the books and come to class and you'll do fine.
The class sounds scary on the first day because there is a lot of work but he is a funny guy. He sets it up for you to succeed if you just do the work and read it is a great feeling of accomplishment. You learn a lot and it helps you with other work such as structuring papers reading and meeting deadlines.
First day of class is the most intimidating!! There's a BOAT LOAD of writing for this course and exams are 12-15 pg papers. Great guy and honestly cares for the students if the students show effort. Uses a lot of real examples to back up what we're learning in class. Awesome dude & I'd take another one of his courses in a heart beat!
Porter is a great prof. Weekly papers are optional, but I highly recommend doing them because your essay exams will be 100x easier. It's an eyeopening and interesting class. Participation helps your grade. Highly recommend.
Attend class. Read the books. Do the weekly optional papers which will DEFINITELY help you on the exams. Sounds scary on first day but do the work and you will be fine. Teaches you work ethic.
Busy work.
He has a stutter. He'll put you into groups & do some small assignments together & a fairly sized presentation. Also an online portion has you do large reading assignments & you must post summariescritical thinking about the readings & respond to other people within your group. It's not the hardest work, but it is a lot of long work.
Dr. Porter's class can be very frustrating. His assignments are very unclear and he rarely answers emails. Be prepared to read several chapters in various books each week. Your midterm and final will each include a 15-20 page paper. My main issue is that Dr. Porter constantly puts down Millersville University, and is very self-obsessed.
Professor Porter was very helpful to me this semester. It can be a little intimidating when you first start his classes, but his bluntness in what is expected ultimately does you a favor. His class is a writing heavy course, and he (thankfully) does not overlook "text speak" and other common spelling and grammar errors that others do.
Can be very arrogant, talking how he's had lunch with the text's author or "I remember I asked text author before..." like he's hot stuff. 1st day was nothing but him talking about how hard his class is. Class was cake, never did weekly disc., ignored lectures. Easy B. Main textbook was junk: obvious & outdated, too openly biased. He's okay
I took this class just to fulfill a writing requirement. It was on of the worst classes I've taken. He is there to help if you need it, and does provide feedback, but the amount of work is overwhelming, for me at least. If possible, it in online format - the lectures dont teach you anything, and he repeats himself week after week
Dr. Porter was great! He is passionate about his field and knows what he's talking about. I encourage to do weekly posts because they are VERY beneficial come exam time.
Terrible online class, he obviously doesn't care about clarity, or proofreading. Misspellings, typos, missing words, and poorly worded sentences littered the syllabus, "lecture notes," and exams. When I e-mailed him about a poorly written exam, he told me it must be my computer. Also, 2- 300+ page books and the text is too much for 4 weeks of clas.
I took his online SocProbs during the spring and hated every second of it. Apparently the only social problem is racism, as he assigned 5 books on it and only 1 on anything else. He is very hard to get in contact with for questions, and if you do ask a question, he will not answer it directly. His instructions are convoluted and he won't proofread.
LOTS of reading, and two long essays. One due around mid-term and the other one due around finals and the essays are components of the books he assigns. He is very fair in grading the essays, and will sometime spring up a shorter essay before hand to make sure you are on the right track for the larger assignment.
text is required. Porter takes forever to answer emails but he's extremely helpful and cares about the students in the class. He really wants you to understand the importance of the info. Assigns 2 term papers, 15+ pages each but the outline he provided made it easy. Learned a lot. You will pass the class with nothing below a B if you use the texts
Do not take this class. He constantly puts down Millersville and acts like he's better than everyone here. His lectures are just him talking and you never know what is important or not. Thinks he's teaching a graduate level class and talks above everyone's head.
He comes off as very intimidating. However, you will not fail as long as you do the work. There are long papers you have to write, but it's part of your two tests. It actually makes your life easier in the end. He can be very confusing to listen to, but just do your best and you will pass with a B or higher. (As long as you do the work.)
Do not expect clarification of assignments. Misspelled and poorly organized syllabus and notes. Assigns 6-12 chapters a week that are 30-50 pages each. Group projects that you end up doing all by yourself. Two exams that are pretty much your entire grade and not about what the class focused on. Assigned test days. No flexibility with assignments.
The first class was absolutely terrifying and scary. He comes off as a very scary, strict guy the first class, but after that he's really cool and a pretty good prof. Your grade is based on several lengthy papers, but it is a writing class. As long as you cover what is expected in the papers you should get a pretty decent grade.
Definitely learned a lot in his class. However, work is overloaded and hard to find time to work on other classes. Prepare to write/read. You'll never have a weekend to relax
If you thought you were a bad writer before this class, you'll become a much better writer by the end of it. You are writing 3-5 page reports almost every week. It's stressful, but it'll help you. It definitely helped me better my writing and it helped me complete writing assignments MUCH faster. You'll cover every required textbook for the class.
I took his class online and you have only two papers, each about 15 pages (SINGLE SPACED) and weekly posts. You have to read four 300 page books. It seems pretty intense at first but if you keep up with the work it's not too bad. Dr. Porter is very hard to get ahold of if you have questions.
Porter is intimidating at first but is seriously the nicest guy. He gives a lot of work but he never makes you do anything that isn't worth it in the end. He's super lecture heavy but they're interesting. I actually really liked this class despite hearing some bad things previously about it. Would definitely take Porter again.
DO NOT take Porter for an online class. The syllabus is full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, and it contradicts its self. He takes forever to respond to emails and when he finally gets around to responding, he doesn't even answer the question you asked. Seriously this is the worst online class I've ever taken.
Writing intensive course: gives you a book to read and you write about each chapter and apply concepts from the textbook. He'll scare you in the beginning but you'll get used to the workload. Gives wonderful feedback! Definitely improves writing and time management skills. Many people hate the class because it's work but you learn so much!
I took Intro to Sociology over winter break and it was the most stressful thing I've done. I took this as a general education class expecting simplicity, but no. Had to read two books and do discussion posts/essays about them. Additionally, we had two exams based on the textbook. If you hate reading in general, this isn't for you.
I took Dr. Porter for Urban Society. I took the class because I'm an urban enthusiast and because I heard that Dr. Porter was an excellent professor. I soon discovered that he really knows far more about cities and urban society than anyone I've ever met. I highly recommend him. He's tough but he's fair. MU is lucky to have him!!!
Very difficult course. I took this course for the writing requirement and I totally regret it. He takes forever to respond to emails (48-72 hours) and when he does, he does not answer your question/concern. His D2L course is littered with misspellings and grammatical errors. He also contradicts himself all the time. So much reading/writing.
Fantastic professor. You definitely need to do your work in his classes, but you learn so much during the semester. Be ready to read and write on a weekly basis.
Overall a wonderful professor. If you do what you need to do in his class you will be fine. His cares about his students overall. However if you dont put in your effort than dont expect a lot from him. I would recommend him. The class is very interesting when it comes to knowing the social class levels and the issues in society today.
This class is a waste of my time and money. This is the worst class I have ever taken in my entire life.
This was online, and every single rubric or list of directions he wrote never made sense. We had to write a 12 page midterm paper, and his directions for it was about 6 pages of rambling. He can never get to the point and his writing is hard to understand with all of his errors and contradictions. Very hard grader, and his feedback doesnt make sens
I am not an advanced writer and Porter expects you to be. As for the exams, the multiple choice portion answers are all online if you know where to look, but the essay parts of the exams were terribly hard as you have to write 3-4 pages prior opening the essay exam, then answer 10-15 questions during the exam. Also,takes forever to email you back.
Hes a tough professor, he makes you read so many books and then provide essays weekly. He lectures literally the whole entire class about stuff we talked about the week before! Also if you want to get in contact with him you cant because he never responds in a timely manner
This is the worst class I've ever taken. Multiple week-long 12pg papers on countless books, lectures, hour-long videos. I took his online course AS A GEN ED. Not a socy major, but he treats us like socy grad students. He gives good feedback when asked, but that doesn't make it easier. He'll kick you out if you fall behind. DO NOT take this course!!
Every single class is just him rambling about the several books that you need to read for the course there's like 4-5 of them, literally did not learn a single thing. He makes you write weekly 5pg papers on the books and 2 15pg papers that are absolutely horrible. Plus a 40-50 question multi choice exam online on top of all of that. Stay away!!
I spent more time doing work for this class (not a soc major) than any other class I've ever taken. He's a nice guy, gives good advice, and you'll pass just fine if you do the work, but if you're looking for a gen ed look somewhere else. It was just not worth it. He's also unorganized and poor grammar. Nearly died to get the A. Not worth it.
Prof Porter gives wonderfully detailed feedback. I learned a ton from this class. Textbook is easy to read and interesting.
Syllabus was wordy, confusing and lacked any type of clarity or goal. The feedback given during class was not helpful and contradictory at best . Lecture notes were terrible, incomplete and lacked focus. Expectations for essays (for a 5 week course) - absolutely insane given lack of direction by professor. Narrowly focused intro to Soc
Enjoyed the class but did not like him at all. None of his work was clear cut. There was multiple syllables with different work described on each one so you dont know what youre specifically doing.
I had Dr. Porter totally asynchronously but his class allows you to learn a vast amount of information but you have to be prepared to read. Dr. Porter is always happy to schedule a meeting with you if you have questions about the course as well. Sometimes the essay assignments can be confusing. Lastly, Dr. Porter provides quality feedback.
The purpose for this class is good, and I enjoyed the class itself, but Dr. Porter is another story. Dr. Porter sets up the work and everything else in one big, messy pile on D2L that is only separated by the weekly schedule. It is very difficult to navigate through what you are supposed to do. The information is good and there is a lot of work.
Multiple papers a week. Kind of a bummer he is the only one that teaches this class. The class material is good but prof Porter makes the class so boring and the work load is crazy! About two papers a week and 5-10 chapters as well. I wouldnt recommend taking any other writing class with this course
I took this class online and it was pretty laid back but there are discussion posts weekly that count as your participation grade. Also there are many little papers to complete and a final paper at the end of the course. There aren't many grades so do well on the few assignments he hands out. You'll do great if you do the work!
Do not take this class! He is too strict about attendance. His class is long and he just talks the whole time, no power point or notes. His notes posted on D2l are very rambly and hard to make a point out of. It is very hard to get your grades better because he gives 2 papers per semester that takes up 40% of your grade and the rest is participatio
This is by far the most workload class I've ever had. You read 3 books and have to do discussions every week, with reading a ton of chapters each week and watching videos and other stuff. There are 3 grades, 2 essay exams worth 40% each and 20% for groupwork/participation. He takes forever to respond to emails and to grade work. Don't recommend.
I found Dr. Porter to be quite accommodating when I was having a difficult semester. His lectures are deeply engaging and often very informal and funny. The three books he used for this course were compelling and relevant. I loved having him and I would recommend this course if you are interested in exploring the sociological perspective.
Great class, lectures, assigned readings and guest speakers were great.
Dr.Porter is a nice professor but this online class was frustrating with him. The actual content was good, but he makes the assignments confusing, repetitive, and unnecessarily long. He is not tech savvy so assignment due dates are outdated and he won't respond to assignments or emails in a timely manner, which is unhelpful to you in the long run.
This is a writing class needed for a general education requirement and I am spending more time doing his work than any of my other courses. Directions are unclear, and he says so much in his weekly assignment directions, but also gets no point across. Was always confused as to what needed to be done.
He is one of the most understanding and helpful professors I have ever had. His tests are written essays. They are all based on the readings. They may seem complicated but if you communicate with him he will help you and make it super easy. Definitely recommend having him for an online course.
My class has a 15 page essay exam over Thanksgiving break. The last essay exam was over spring break. The papers get easier and he is helpful for the most part but it seems he only cares about his free time out of school and not his students having time with family or work for other classes. His D2L and instructions are very lengthy and confusing.
class isnt really hard but it's just alot of work. Every week be prepared to read atleast 1-2 chapters of the book and then write a summary on it answering multiple questions. Exams are very long and Porter can take up to a week to respond to emails. He seems to be an easy grader and was flexible with assignments when I had life happen.
If you hate writing papers, you won't like this class. The papers are very long and you must read the books. Dr. Porter is a very knowledgeable man and his lectures can get boring. Overall a pretty good class if you don't mind the writing. Also, if you miss a class, you don't miss much.
A very dry course, to be sure. The D2L instructions for each week can be cryptic, he will write several long-winded paragraphs describing what you need to do, maybe 3 sentences in that will contain valuable information. Lots of conflicting information, and sometimes a lack thereof. You've got to take this class day by day, really.
Amazing professor and good lectures. Get ready to read and write a lot but he helps everyone out along the way, 10/10 recommend his courses.
Social problems is an online class but this professor doesn't know how to organize so D2l is a mess. Lays out no clear due dates or expectations. Every post, even an announcement post, is an entire novel that is very difficult to navigate. Online essay exams are supposed to be 10-12 pages. Such a waste of time. Don't take a class with Porter.
Too many essays due at once, biggest one is 10 to 12 pages and he doesn't share details on it until the week of. Too many assignments all due around the same time, and simply no one in class has the time to work on it all. Don't take this class if you don't have to. For a general education class, this was horrible
He is VERY flexible with students and has accomodations. Funny every now and then. If you do not like to read very much or write papers, I wouldn't take this class. He is good overall, but his class can become overwhelming. He also has a lot of connections with people in the sociology field.
Professor Porter is a nice guy, I think this course is beneficial but it is set up extremely poorly if you are taking any online. It is very difficult to understand what is needed of you due to the poor set up/ organization.
Regretting taking this class so so bad... WAY too much reading, super long essay exams, and very minimal explanations in class. His lectures in class have nothing to do with the readings and you spend more time doing work outside of the class than actually being in there. It takes him forever to grade and give feedback too. DO NOT TAKE!!!
Do NOT ever take this professor! He is very unclear in his instructions, he just rambles on and is unclear with what he wants you to do. His essay exams are 10-12 page long papers that he only gives you three days to complete. I also emailed to ask for help and he completely dismissed me. Just overall not a great professor or class.
Cons: Lots of reading and writing, grades only involve two papers, instructions unclear, he rambles in all his emails and lectures notes adding to misunderstanding, class is structured awfully making it hard to understand and achieve, takes forever to grade. Pros: Replies to? s but still unclear in responses, will provide extra time if you ask
Professor Porter's SOC101 class can be challenging, but engaging if you're willing to put in the work. The readings and papers are extensive, but he's understanding and provides helpful feedback. I found unstuckstudy and other study tools useful for staying on top of things.
Dr. Porter is not a harsh grader, and he gives plenty of time to get assignments done. On the last week of class, he was telling us to get the first week assignments done. His D2L was difficult to navigate at first because everything was cluttered together. Assignments weren't hard. Just keep up and you'll be fine.
took him for spring, and no grades were uploaded till spring break. it is a weird class; I regret taking it
feels like a scam so u pay for the class and then u end up withdrawing
Where to start with this guy? Cluttered D2L that was hell to navigate, instructions being 7 paragraphs long when 2 sentences would have been the same, "assignments" being weekly discussion posts with 2 essays, unresponsive to questions, and somehow did not tell me that my midterm was not submitted for nearly a month due to an unknown issue. ZERO/10
Such unclear instructions when it comes to his "Essay Exams". Boring, repeating lectures in his 8 am class. Long, repetitive weekly posts.
Dr.Porter is an amazing professor and cares for his students. This class is a little hard but as long as you do your work , you'll pass!
The content in this class is interesting and beneficial, however lengthy and there are long writing assignments. If reading a writing aren't your thing, don't take this class. Dr. Porter is impossible to reach outside of class. Sometimes isn't at his office hours and takes a week (sometimes more) to reply to emails. Often gets confused on deadlines
Dr. Porter is impossible to reach about questions and randomly sends that you have a 12 page paper due in 5 days. There wasn't a clear due date for papers and took forever to grade. The only other grade was "participation" from discussion posts which wasn't graded til finals week. Maybe the in person class is better, but do don't take this online.
Lots of reading. Great guy, not sure if it was bc this is an online course, but it was one of my most difficult classes and I'm an upper-level student in STEM/ Writing. Takes a long time to respond to emails (2 weeks). He says expect 35 pages per day, that is correct. Ambiguous, long instructions. Again, great guy. But his class isn't worth it.
You would think an intro to soc class would be somewhat easy- wrong. He thinks hes superior to you, will take off unnecessary points, and nothing is ever good enough. Graded on 2 mc exams, 2 essay exams, and 20 points of participation (that come from 1,000+ word weekly assignments). Absolutely ridiculous. Save yourself. Don't take this class.
He seems like a very kind and hard-working man, he also is extremely knowledgeable. The workload is just too much for an introductory course, especially one that does not pertain to your major. He did not have a dropbox for an essay open, so I emailed him and he did not get back to me for a week. It's just very stressful, content interesting though
