Ah Mr. Sample. This teacher is cool. Class is engaging and interesting. He will make you laugh and is very devoted. I guarantee you will pull something out of this class to use in real life. His class is not hard to pass if you try.

Sample really tries to make the class interesting with his sense of humor. It's a really easy class to pass, all you have to do is show up everyday and pay attention to all the lectures. His extra credit quizes improved my grade.

Super cool fun teacher. I had to drop the class twice cause I'm a schmuck and didt read, but he is super fun and cool. Just pay attention, read and you should do fine.

Alex Sample is top notch. He makes these great analagies and is really fun to listen to during lectures. pay attention and he won't emberass you. I would say this is the funnest class I've had in years.

Mr. Sample is really funny & he really tries to make the class interesting for everyone with all of his goofy analogies. As long as you show up for all of the lectures & take notes, you should do ok in this class.

great sense of humor and straight to the point!

u dont even have to go to his class all the time, just show up for the tests & read the book. also, the xtra credit quizzes really help u get your grade up. i did terrible on the exams, but i aced the essay exam w/c gave me a B for the class. just use all the terms for the essay and u'll do fine- it doesn't even need to make sense.

He's mean to the students. He always picks on them. Not a very nice person.

Sample rocks! End of story!

I enjoyed him as a teacher, I just hated the quizes and multiple choice tests because questions were worded differently or the answers seemed really close together. I did get 100% on the written test and I even had to take that early!

I learned a lot from Mr. Sample. His lectures were right on the money, in my opinion. He speaks a lot about the black experience in America. So obviously many of the younger students may have to live a little before they "get it".

Samples lecture's are extremely funny, interesting, and just an eye opening experience. He tells the blunt truth about society - the entire class I would take notes and laugh my butt off. As long as you TAKE NOTES and show up to every class and STUDY before the unit tests and get the extra credit points, you will pass!!!

this guy is hilarious. his stories kept me awake during the lectures and his viewpoint on racism was eyeopening. "I NEVER DRIVE IN THE LEFT LANE --- THAT'S WHAT I CALL THE FOOOL'S LANE!"

That man is Hilarious!!! He has weird analogies but they fit in concept wise. What he talks about is the real truth!

I don't know why so many people have given sample a bad rating, but as long as you go to class and TAKE NOTES and STUDY THEM, you'll get an A, just write what's on the board along with the details he gives you. His stories are never really "tangents" because they ALWAYS relate to the material for better understanding. Study for an EASY A.

All you have to do is go to class, pay attention and stay awake. You don't even have to take notes. If you sit in the front and nod and smile the entire semester you'll be fine.

i just finished his class this summer and he was fairly easy.he talks alot but does have interesting stories but hes not as funny as he claims. he gives alot of extra credit that will help you on your exams. he gives no homework and only gives exams. just go to class,take notes and read the book and you'll pass.

This is a fairly easy class, 4 tests and 3 extra credit quizzes. Taking notes on exactly what he says is necessary, funny guy too! Sometimes the tests can be kinda hard so be sure to study

Professor Sample tells it like it is. He very well educated,and it shows when he lectures.Sample does tell lots of stories,but its to help students understand the different perspectives. His test are not difficult or easy, u must pay attention in class n at the test questions to do well. Wish I would hav taken his socio15 because socio16 is so good

Professor Sample is an excellent Sociology teacher. He really knows the world of Sociology and makes it very interesting by giving examples after an explanation, which is always helpful. You have to read the book, take notes and listen in order to pass the class. Would highly recommend Socio 15 and 16 especially for Sociology majors.

Professor sample teaches the EASIEST class ever!! He structures the class with a safety net so that it is impossible to fail....unless you dumb as hell!! I didnt attend half the class, open the book, or take the final...and passed with flying colors! I went on the sample tour, YAY! it was fun

Attendance is highly recommended, if you want to pass this class. he doesn't take roll because it's up to you to want to pass this class. it's fairly easy if you just follow along with his lectures and assignment. he is a lot of fun which makes going to class interesting.

I have no idea why Mr. Sample received some awful reviews. He is one of my favorite teachers. His sense of humor is really geared towards the 28+ crowd, so if you are younger, he may appear "corny". All around really nice person!

This professor clearly loves to teach. He is funny, kind, and just. He earns respect and right when you think the classes are long and his lack of taking breaks sucks, he throws you a curve ball and you realize compared to most teachers at LMC, Sample is the bomb. He is totally worth taking and you will be better off overall having him at least

Sample is a great Professor, He treats everyone equally, provides concise lectures and tests to those lectures and readings. He keeps the class interesting and full of humor. You'll work in this class. Stay on top of your reading and attend classes so you dont miss the lecture notes. Sample leaves your success up to you you get out what you put in

Sample is a cool dude and teaches the easiest class ever. No homework, 4 exams and the amount of extra credit is just absurd. He drops your lowest exam score too. I never took notes or opened the book. This class is so easy I?m surprised the college hasn?t lost its academic accreditation merely by including it in the course catalogue.

He talks and talks no presentation just lecture. He tells you everything you need to know for the test and its written on the board. If you dont understand something he will re-explain. Took him over the summer. Class not mandatory but his lecture is what is on the test so dont miss it!

Easy class. No homework, except reading the textbook. There are 4 tests, but he drops the lowest score. There are also 4 quizzes, which extra credit. Bottom line, the class was easy; I ended up with 'B' in the class, but I know I could have gotten an 'A' if I had put more effort in the class.

Sample is a super cool teacher, one of my favorites I've ever had. Super funny- always gave me a good laugh. He uses a lot of analogies..some off topic, but he gets the point of the topic across. No homework. As long as you listen, take notes, and study, you can easily get an A. (and theres a lot of extra credit quizes!)

He is a nice and funny guy but gets very carried away with his stories. I learned a lot by reading the textbook. Surprises you about 4 times a semester with pop quizzes.

Most boring class I have ever taken. He does not engage the class at all and has pointless stories that he tells. His tests are 95% book, 5% lecture so if you just read the book you will be just fine. Extra credit is available to pad your grade.

He gives 4 tests lowest score is dropped. He gives 4 extra credit quizzes. His tests are sort of hard. Some questions dont make sense or in the textbook/lecture. says alot of jokes and puts people on spot asking them questions on the material

his class can be very boring. He tells jokes through out lectures. 4 tests. 4 random extra credit quizzes. Only take his class if your willing to actually study and read the book. His tests are very hard.The questions can be tricky or confusing. So be prepared

I couldn't stand his humor. He thought he was very funny but he wasn't to me. His class is a basic lecture and tests. But it's very important to read the book or you won't pass. He was an overall good teacher though.

I can't believe that anyone who walks away from this class hasn't learned one thing. As a returning student, I consider myself culturally/socially intelligent, and I walked away with an abundance of information and a better understanding of our society. Class is lecture based, so you must show up, period. Sample is energetic,fun, and intelligent.

Sample could have easily taught at a more *prestigious* univ, because he's a smart man. He is funny and MOST of his stories/analogies are on point and they truly help you understand the content in the book. Lecture based. Must take great notes & read the book. Tests can be challenging. READ! You will need to think critically, but you will learn

Great instructor

Sample is a very interesting teacher. He has some funny stories up his sleeve and really knows his sociology, especially since he's been teaching it for several years. My best advice is to take your notes and read your chapters. UNDERSTAND YOUR VOCABULARY WORDS. Then review.

Contrary to most people, I didn't like Sample at all. He jokes around a lot, but it isn't funny at all. This subject interested me but after taking his class I was less interested. You don't need to attend every class but it definitely makes a difference when the tests roll around. He gives extra credit quizzes often which are helpful.

He gets a lot of heat, but he is a good teacher, but you HAVE TO THINK. he isn't going to hand you and easy A. no you will have to work for it. The stories do have meaning whether you think so or not, you just have to find the connection. i have sat in that class every day and i have over 100% and i dont study at all. or read the book. its not hard

Contrary to what most say about Sample, I think he is a great teacher. If you want to be on his good side, I would suggest sitting in the front row. His extra credit quizzes aren't really unexpected because he mostly gives them when you're 1-2 weeks away from the unit tests. I never read the book & only took notes during lecture & still got an A.

Mr. Sample is an awesome teacher. His class isn't that tough. First, he doesn't assign homework, except for reading, that's it. If you can't handle reading and studying in college, then you may consider quitting.3 extra credit quizzes are offered, lowest test score dropped,and a detailed description by Professor outlining how to succeed in class.

Everything Prof Sample lectures on IS on the test, so take great notes.There is NO homework. Your only responsibility as a student is to read/study,which is expected in college.If you read/study,his tests/quizzes are very doable.His tests involve some critical thinking,which is a great skill to acquire.Commit a few hours a week to read/study ='s A!

Professor Sample is an older man with a great heart and sense of humor. He is knowledgeable on his subject material (he's been teaching here for the past 40 years since the school opened). The class is very easy if you simply read the textbook. The guidelines to pass the class are very clear and is fun! I took two of his classes and got above 100%

This was an easy class just show up and listen to the lectures. The tests and pop quizzes are based off the notes and book. I would reccomend taking this class since it was easy and there was minimal work.

Mr. Sample is GREAT! I enjoyed 15 so much & it was an easy A so I ended up taking 16 just for fun & another EASY A :) He REALLY NOTICES & remembers who shows up & pays attention. He gave great examples that you can easily relate to where you live, people you know, things on the news, etc. My favorite part was NO HOMEWORK- only some weekly reading!

Mr. Sample taught me important life lessons. He provides a very straight forward road map for success and it is up to you to follow the map. There is NO homework, except reading & studying your book and notes. Not a single written assignment, nothing. If you can't handle reading & studying, drop out of college NOW, because you won't make it.

Sample is the best. He is hilarious and really gets you interested in sociology. His lectures that tell you exactly what will be on the tests. And gives extra credit pop quizzes that aren't hard either if you pay attention. He gives no homework, so all you have to do is study! JUST STUDY.

Ok, real talk-Clear grading criteria. You show up to class everyday cause there's NO MAKE UP pop quizzes (used as extra credit). Read the chapters before he lectures on them so you know what he's talking about. He'll write notes on board and comment on chapter readings. He DOES get off topic but that so we don't fall asleep. Black and white

His lectures have lots of story that are related to subject matter. He doesn't baby students but prepare them for further education. He's clear about the course requirements. If you follow what he said, read the syllabus, come to class and basically act as a college student instead of whining and asking irrelevant questions you'll do fine!

On day one, Sample will explain exactly what you need to do to get an A. He is very clear. If you follow his road map, you will do great. I showed up to class, took great notes, and then read the book. Aside from studying my notes and book, I had NO homework. Do a quizlet search to help you study. His lectures DO come straight from the book!

Definitely a talker, but as long as you takes notes and do the readings, the tests are a piece of cake. He did tell me that I WASN'T going to pass his class before the drop date (b/c how my grades were going & that grade sheet), but I passed the last test and Aced the final, my overall grade in the class was a B. Took a leap of faith.

Took Sample in the summer and got an A. Do I recommend Sample? Yes & No. Sample talks in metaphor/analogies to get concepts of sociology across, and to break things down easier. If you can learn through this teaching style, this class will be a piece of cake to you as in my case - if you cant, don't take it b/c you'll struggle and possibly fail.

One word RUDE!!! Wouldn't recommend taking him. Any one that he would consider "weird" he would make fun of. Made the class pretty boring.

hes a good teacher just gotta read the book

All of students don't like Sample, but honestly he is one of the best professors I'v ever had. It's a lot work. Buy the book, read the chapters, and read the quiz reviews at the end of the chapters, and you'll get A's on all the quizes! He's really funny. The problem is some people can't take his sense of humor. Don't miss his classes! You'll fail.

Halfway into the semester, I realized that the key to this class was to strictly listen to the lectures because they get so off topic that you won't remember how it pertains to the text. If you want to pass, read the book, but enjoy the Sample show. Sense of humor required because he has no filter!

Before taking the class Sample's reputation on campus was poor. THIS WAS SO WRONG! Sample's lectures are very easy to sit through and as long as you listen and participate there's no real need to read. The questions on exams come from lecture! The quiz questions are the quizzes at the back of each chapter! Awesome teacher

Coolest man you'll meet. Spends class giving lectures and stories to demonstrate social concepts rather than repeating the science behind it. Classwork is light as most time is spent taking notes and preparing for next test or quiz. As long as notes are taken and you pay attention, an A is easily possible.

Prof. Sample is a no nonsense instructor. If you want to chat/play with your phone during class, don't take his class, he'll call you out. Showing up late/leaving early isn't a good idea either. Take the notes, he writes them on the board. He's very knowledgable, willing to answer questions, many tests/quizzes, few written assignments.

Everyone is talking about how hard Sample is but he really wasn't. he does ramble A LOT and makes fun of people though, he is just an overbearing jokester that you have to laugh with because he's the professor. The material however is literally just highschool psych. Read the book and just smile if he starts talking to you so he likes you LOL.

I personally think Sample is a great teacher but this class is going to require a lot of self discipline to do the reading, attend the long lectures, and do study. If you go to class, pay attention and write notes then turn those into flash cards you will pass with an easy A. gives 4 extra credit quizzes, no homework, and just 4 exams.

Mr. Sample is a hard professor. I had him for two classes a few years back. Now that I am at a University I am so thankful that I listened to his advise about studying for tests and being prepared. His class was vital to my college experience because I listened to his advise.

He tends to go on tangents too much, especially if the discussion is going great. There are pop quizzes (count as +5 extra credit toward test), and they are all or nothing. You have to get 12/15 for the quiz to count. There are no other papers, projects, or worksheets, so everything banks on the exams (will drop lowest score).

one of the things I really appreciated was that his grading was straightforward. at first his method of teaching was confusing but after a couple of classes it became very helpful for remembering material as he would use a lot of analogies. he assigns pop quizzes but as long as read they are very easy. his tests were also clear and not that hard:)

Day one, Sample explicitly maps out keys to success in his class, most of which stress READING the book. His lectures are both thoughtful & informative. There are ZERO papers to write and no other homework assignments; all you have to do it READ and take notes. Tests are straightforward and basic. Extra credit offered. EFFORT will take you far!

Best instructor ever!!!!

I loved this class but there is a lot of reading and note taking and making flashcards but he opened up my mind more than any other class . It was interesting and NOT boring he was very playful but does not like to be contridicted. I got a C but that's because I didn't study enough. BIG HINT READ THE WHOLE BOOK BEFORE CLASS STARTS.

He's really one of the smartest people I've ever met. he knows what he's talking about. A lot of students may not like him because he literally will tell you how it is with no apologies. He's done it to me. So I know, but I know that he's right so whatever. He's really an amazing teacher and he showed me my greater potential as a student

i took socio 15 & 16. these classes are easy as long as you show up, take notes, & read the book. if you only show up occasionally & don't read the book you won't pass. very clear grading rubric, he drops your worst exam, & gives 4 extra credit quizzes. no homework, just read (textbook necessary!!) he's got a big personality & jokes around a lot

I took his class over the summer, and I actually really enjoyed it. Hes funny, and you learn a lot. You do have to work for your grade by reading the book and studying using flash cards, But theres no homework at all so its doable. Its very possible to finish with an A if you just study.

This class offers up to 20 points extra credit which can save your grade. 4 exams lowest score is dropped. No homework. Just study the terms and understand the terms and you will pass. Grade is based on points not percentage. Hes really funny but take good notes in class so you know what to study . Easy A

I was really hesitant to take his class because of the negative reviews but it was perfectly fine! He's an okay professor but the topic was super interesting so I stayed engaged. If you're worried about passing like I was, I just made flashcards for every test and passed with a 95%! His test and quizzes are actually pretty easy!

Prof isnt so bad. He doesnt give any modules or any type of work. All you have to do is go over notes & read the book. Then take tests & extra credit quizzes. Its a light class. I actually liked his class because I had heavy classes so it was a beneficial class. As long as you read the book & notes youll def pass.

Honestly, hes all about quizzes & test. Hes lazy on giving work. I think it was a easy class, I couldve gotten an A if I bought the book but I just think its a light class if you have heavy classes. Hes not bad, I havent communicated w. Him so idk if hes rude but all I know is he barely gives work. Just quizzes & tests which on notes & book.

Took as a summer class in 2021. Easy.
