this guy it awesome! He is hilarious! makes sociology fun and very interesting. gives you the notes. test are easy! cool young guy! no homework. 1 or 2 projects. (easy ones) TAKE HIM!!
he is an awesome teacher that is laid back and funny. he keeps class exciting and not to mention that he's totally cute!
Awesome teacher. Very charismatic, loves teaching soci and involves his students everyday. Pay attention and look over the outlines, you'll get a good grade, fun class too.
Very laid back guy, he gives the opportunity for extra credit, numerous times and will help you. Turn work in on time & go over outlines (that he gives you) & goes over. & you should be good.
Ur is seriously one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. He isn't super strict about attendance but I definitely encourage it. He hands out outlines for each chapter and you get to fill them out according to his lectures which pertains to his tests completely. And about his lectures, they are so halarious and VERY interesting. He's great!!
Such an awesome teacher! He is HILARIOUS! I really enjoy his lectures and look forward each class. Definitely take this guy for Sociology!
Mr. Ur is an awesome professor. He could careless if your a female or not. He enjoys teaching and is extremely knowledgeable about what he teaches. I wish he would teach more sociology course. Thanks you helping us learn. Alohas
One of the best professors ever!
Hes lenient on a lot of things, but he is a tough grader for the class participations (writing) & extra credit (writing) work. Overall, his class is enjoyable and laid back.
I enjoy being in this class....i never get bored,,,and i stay focused the whole time... He is very understanding and funny!
Prof. Ur make the class really interesting! He he is really funny too. Some of his tests can occasionally be hard so make sure to always study and keep good notes on both the book and his lectures. He is also a really hard grader on homework/projects so just be prepared for that. Overall a great professor and I would recommend taking him for SOCI.
By far the best instructor i've ever had. Very interesting, fun, and easy to talk to. Really cool guy, go to his office hours. I have and it's helped every time. I wish I could have him for other classes.
AWESOME. go to office hours, he will help you. hes funny
Mr Ur is the best!! he is hilarious and really intelligent. Go to office hours
Mr. Ur is one of the best teachers I have had. Super funny, down to earth and excited for the class to learn. He will answer any question you have and he is not hard to look at. :0)
Mr. Ur is a great teacher! He goes over all the notes in class and tells us important info. for the test. He is very funny! Take his class!
He is awesome!!!! I asked other people about taking him and it was a fast yes!! And I am happy I took him. He made the class fun and I never got old!!! I would take him again if I had the chance!!
Awesome teacher! Really need to take his class!! He helps you so much!
Mr. Ur amazing! He's on my top 10 list of best teachers ever. Doesn't grade really hard and there's plenty of extra credit if needed. Class is relaxed and conversation-like. TAKE THE CLASS. You wont regret it! :)
Awesome teacher I learned something new everyday! and never wanted to miss class because I loved his lectures. gives extra credit chances tests are not hard and he gives a choice of a take home essay test or multiple choice test. I liked the essay tests better but when the class voted we went back to multiple choice. Take him you wont be sorry!
LOVE LOVE LOVE PROFESSOR UR!!! Take this class. Even if it's just an elective, you'll love him.he is hilarious, and gorgeous too! He treats class like a debate or conversation, and I've learned so much. He is an easy grader and gives SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. Do the extra credit even if you don't need it. You'll get an a+ no matter what
Best teacher ever! I had no problems in this class whatsoever! He made everything a conversation not a lecture and gave real life examples so they were easy to recall for the test. So much extra credit, if it's there why not do it! Duh!!! And he's totaltly hott!
Mr.Ur is totally amazing, no joke. he is HANDS down the best teacher i have ever had. take his class you wont regret!! and he is no hard to look at if you know what i mean ;)
Amazing prof! He is funny and makes the class really enjoyable! There is ton of extra credit opportunities and the few assignments that he gives are really easy and you'll make a good grade if you just put in some effort! I HIGHLY recommend taking his class!
LOVED this class. He obviously cares about what he is teaching about. If you don't like cussing then he may not be for you (it was honestly really funny and by the end of the class I didn't even notice anymore). Definitely recommend him as a prof.
amazing prof.knows his stuff, gives good examples. make sure to do the extra credit,it makes a big difference.class should be an easy A if you pay attention, do your assignments(which are easy as heck) and ask questions. i didn't purchase or use a textbook at all. he really knows his stuff and makes sure you understand too. :)
AWESOME PROF.!!!! Couldn't ask for a better teacher!!!! Very enthusiastic and funny!!!! Makes class easy and fun!!! Can't fail even if you try!!!
Good teacher. His lectures are interesting. His tests don't seem to match up with the information he tells us, questions that seem like all of the above could be right but doesn't give that option. Usually doesn't take attendance. Does clarify any questions you have. Lots of EC and papers that he barely even reads, just grades.
He is hands down the best teacher ever! He makes things interesting and he is quite humorous! Gives lots of extra credit is very willing to help you with anything. When emailing, he does get bad to you in a timely manner. He's just a great professor overall! I highly recommend him!
He is one of the best teachers I have ever taken! His lectures are so funny and he is so helpful, if you have a question, just ask and he will tell you! Easy A if you listen, study and do the extra credit. You will not regret taking him!
BEST PROF EVER!!!! need to get Sociology as a prerequisite out of the way take this professor. He had notes online that you just need to fill in thats what you study for test. There is a 1 page essay due for every exam that can only help your grade. Was and easy B. Extra credit is available.
HIGHLY recommend this teacher. Very funny/interesting and keeps you engaged. I got a B, but could have easily gotten an A had I read the textbook/done more of the Extra Credit.
Seriously the best teacher I have EVER had! He is so funny and his lectures are always entertaining! I actually looked forward to his class, which is extremely rare. All of his notes are online, and his tests are straight from the book. Projects are wicked easy as well and are rarely assigned. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!! I'm sad to be leaving this class!
Ur rocks! His class is so entertaining and fun! But you really have to work hard for the A.
Highly recommend! His tests weren't the easiest but he had easy assignments and easy essay. He doesn't use a powerpoint; just stands and talks but he keeps it interesting!
Easy B! but you really have to work hard for the A. highly recommend him for someone who is taking this class as a pre req! DO the extra credit and tests are straight out of the book. print lecture notes online before class.
Great teacher! My favorite. I got a C+ and that's because I went to class maybe 10 times. Tests are straight from book and notes. He posts a outline of the notes online which is super helpful! Print those fill them out and easy A. Keeps class interesting very helpful, lots of extra credit options! Take this class!(:
Great prof. Easy class if you show up and do the work, which he reminds you to do all the time.
This professor is hilarious! I love everything about this class. It's very interesting and he is explosive during lectures. It definitely beats reading the book, not to mention he's a super nice guy. The tests can be a little confusing but there's lots of extra credit available. I would definitely take this class again!
The lectures are funny, essay grading participation assignments are sorta easy but the tests are hard.
Amazing professor ! Fun and always in a good mood. I would take his class a hundred times. You really feel like you're learning something to! Really recommend him!
Really funny and cool dude. Offers up to 5 total points on your semester average by doing his bonus assignments. Also offers the opportunity to write a paper that he'll grade and use to replace your lowest test score. Fun class and it's never boring. He's always in a good mood. I looked forward to this class and it was an 8:45am.
Professor Ur is as good as they come! He isn't a stickler on attendance but I promise you his lectures are better than reading out of the book! His tests are difficult and he really wants you to understand the material. He offers extra credit papers that can add to your final and 2 that can replace a test grade! HIGHLY RECCOMMEND
I loved professor Ur! His lectures were always super interesting and funny! If you're confused about something, he will take the time to elaborate and expand until you understand! There were 3 papers and 2 "projects" which were actually just a few simple questions. Definitely take him if you can!
His class is tons of fun, every lecture you laugh and you can tell he is super passionate about sociology! The tests are confusing at times, but if you study weeks in advance you will be fine. Attend every class because he goes into detail about the stuff you need to know for the test. Do all the extra credit and you are good to go
Great professor. Kept students very engaged in the lecture and was good about making sure everyone was involved. I was never bored listening. Only complaint is the tests are much more specific than the notes given in class so it's probably a good idea to read the textbook.
Professor Ur is by far one of my favorite professors that I've taken so far. He makes class interesting and is absolutely hilarious! Really laid back and is super understanding. He really is there to help, and gives great extra credit opportunities. If you don't pass, it's your own fault. I would take his class over and over again if i could!
BEST PROF EVER!! So funny, keeps class interesting and makes it go by fast. Tests are worded different than taught but he's always willing to help out anyone who asks questions. Really good teacher, super chill and lots of extra credit
Fantastic Professor! Lectures are informative and playful. Great demeanor with students. Provides plenty of extra credit although it's not entirely simple. His test aren't easy if you're not prepared. Simply go to class and enjoy the banter. He's a great guy and loves his job. Well worth it if you're a Psych major.
He's one of the best professors I've ever had. He's hilarious and makes the class so interesting. The textbook is not needed and the tests directly reflect the lectures. I highly recommend taking his class.
4 exams, 3 essays, 2 easy project assignments. Ur is an amazing instructor - his lectures are fun and interesting, and you actually do learn a lot. His exams can be tricky, because he uses definitions from the book which can differ from his definitions in lecture, but I just reviewed the book definitions and lecture notes and made a 97. TAKE HIM!
AMAZING teacher. Sometimes we get off track but the conversation is relevant. Sit in the front row and you'll participate more. Fun teacher who gives a lot of feedback and extra credit. The projects and papers are SUPER easy, please do them.
He's very passionate about Sociology. Class was alot of conversation. I took the may minimester and made a B. Everything on the tests were discussed in class. The book was helpful for writing papers (which he graded with leniency). He actually was funny.
Explains difficult topics in a way you can understand. If you have a question, he works his hardest to make sure you understand. Tests can be difficult because he did not cover everything that was on the test. Touch essay grader, but gives you helpful feedback. Very funny and good looking.
His class was the most enjoyable class I've ever had. He does take attendance, and his exams can be challenging. However, you will attend his class because it's fun. Make sure you print out the notes he posts online and then study a bit from the book. Also, I got a 70 on one test but did all the extra credit so ended up w an A. Final nt cumulative.
Loved this class and the professor. He's amazing at what he does, and is very passionate about it. This was the one class I actually looked forward to this semester, and I'm sure anyone who has him as a teacher would agree. He's an awesome dude, definitely recommend him
Amazing Professor! Looked forward to attending class. Very relaxed setting & he encourages feedback & discussion. Tests are not the easiest despite being open book (blended class). Weekly papers (approximate3paragraphs) on topics discussed/three 1-2 page papers/4 tests/& offers extra credit. I learned a lot! He opens your mind to various topics.
The lectures he gave were incredible and hilarious. He provides a lot of extra credit, but you have to write at least five essays that are due around test dates (mostly just one page). The final is not cumulative, but his exams are very tough. Most questions are confusing so you really have to understand the terms in order to make an A.
My favorite teacher of the semester. Truly cares about every student and whether he/she understands the material he presents. His lectures are awesome, never has a social science come so easily to me. I went to class out solely because he makes it interesting. If you do the work and study, you will get an A.
Absolutely loved his class. His lectures are hilarious and really keeps you paying attention. Every assignment is pretty easy except his tests are hard. Definitely need to go to class to pass the tests. Had major hots for him all semester lol. Favorite professor I have ever had, TAKE HIM.
This class was not easy, but he is very helpful and gives really interesting lectures. You need to go to class because the tests are based solely from the lectures. After the final I had a 79.2 and he looked over my previous work and raised my grade to a B. Saved my life. I would definitely take it again!
I normally have a hard time focusing and staying tuned in during class but he definitely keeps your attention the whole time he is talking. He makes sure that you can relate to the subjects he talks about and constantly makes you laugh. I really enjoyed his class and would take it again if I could spend that money again!
Took Professor Ur my first semester of college and loved his class so much I would voluntarily show up Friday mornings. I nearly cried when it was over but luckily I took him again. Lectures are extremely fun and relatable, making it easy to stay engaged and interested. There is some homework and the tests were tricky, but take him! Well worth it
Never liked lecture classes but he makes you want to listen. Puts notes outline on e-campus which makes studying a lot easier and knowing what to write down. Test are easy if you look over your notes once or twice. Funniest professor i have ever had and makes me look forward to his class. No quizzes, great extra credit, very little homework.
He's an amazing professor. Hilarious, captivating lectures and a tonne of extra credit. He's very knowledgeable with a great personality, and if you put in decent amount of work it definitely pays off. VERY HIGHLY recommend him!
Easily the funniest person I've ever met. He realizes that sociology is boring, so he makes it fun and uses real life examples for you to better understand the meaning. His tests are all term meaning problems. You have to write three essays which are a little difficult, but he grades pretty easy.
I took Social Problems blended this semester. The best professor I've ever had.. He gives tons of opportunities for extra credit and the tests are online and not hard (I got a 98 on the final). Classes are often cut short and he talks about topics that the whole class will want to participate in. Easy homework and not very much.
This class appears easy, but the quizzes and tests are all from the book. Class notes don't really help with tests. Ur has a sense of humor, but don't let that fool you. He is just another snake in the grass prof who doesn't care for students. He looks like a 70s junkie and has the mindset of one. Don't waste your time with him.
Professor Ur is such a great a great prof! He makes every lecture fun and the examples he gives in class stick in your head to help you for the exam. Got As on every test with just looking over the notes the night before. He give substitution assignments for tests and essays if you do make a bad grade or forget to do one. A lifesaver!!
I took him for Sociology and he was AMAZING! Its up to you if you need the textbook but you need to be there for his lectures, he's awesome!
Writing down the examples that he would give for specific topics really helps you understand and remember some of the most difficult content that he teaches. Overall he's a really funny and interesting professor you will never be bored in his class, he interacts with the students and he opens your mind and helps you see the nonbias side of things.
Professor Ur is so nice and engaging! He seriously makes everything interesting. Its important to be in class to take notes, because thats what his tests are. There are a couple easy assignments. He gives lots of extra credit opportunity. The tests are pretty fair.. He seems to really care for his students! Class gets out early 95% of the time.
I laughed from the first day to the last , even test days he has some comedic relief. If you are shy i wouldn't suggest the class because Its a very interactive classroom. Also there isn't very many assignments so you can't miss any of them. Not a hard grader if you stick somewhat to the rubric. Test are hard and require studying but only count 40%
Brent offered sooo many extra credit papers and the only deadline is a little before finals so it's virtually constantly there. He had really laid back lectures and was hilarious. He doesnt like to do attendance especially towards the end of the year but he does it 70% of the time since its mandatory. Overall great guy and great class!
Ur is awesome! By far my favorite prof at Blinn. His lectures are always super entertaining and he's funny as hell! Offers a ton of extra credit papers that are super easy. Tests aren't too difficult as long as you study the notes from lecture. Take his class!!
Prof Ur was one of my favorite teachers! He makes the content really easy to understand but make sure to write down his examples so you can remember when reviewing your notes. He offers a lot of extra credit but work on them throughout the semester so it doesn't pile up in the end. Tests are pretty easy but his wording is kind of tricky.
Very chill and funny professor, made every lecture entertaining and was the only class I looked forward to every week. Textbook isn't mandatory but I would get it anyways because it makes it easier to understand the tests, which can be deceptively tricky at times. Take advantage of the extra credits and test substitutions and you should get an A.
Mr, brent is the kool teacher i have ever had so far. lots of essay and extra credit paper, if you come in class and pay attention to what he is saying you will do great he also very funny person. i had a B.
He is an amazing teacher, he is a great sociologist and really fun to talk to in general. Makes the whole course interesting fun and hard to leave.
loved Mr Ur very understanding gives extra credit very funny
He is one of the best profs I have ever had. I even took him again for an elective because I liked my first class so much. He tells you everything you need to know in lectures so take notes and study but he makes class fun and its not hard. If you have issues don't be afraid to go to his office. He is the best!!!
Great prof! This is the kind of prof that you sign up to take, and come to class to listen to. Lectures were very entertaining and interesting, and the tests involve a lot of material from lectures. Not a ton of work but the essays, especially if you do the extra credit ones, add up. You will have to read the book but really just the key points.
Awesome, highly highly highly recommended
Awesome prof! You can tell he really loves his job and makes his lectures interesting and easy to pay attention. He gives tons of extra credit. Test can be a little difficult but if you dont do good extra credit helps your grade out a lot! He is hilarious and this was a class I always looked forward to going to.
Dr. Ur is the BEST professor I have ever had, hands down. I would absolutely recommend anyone to his class! He is funny, keeps lectures engaging, cares abut his students, and knows the subject he teaches VERY well. I wish all professors were like him. Would definitely take him again.
His lectures are great., engaging and interesting. Gives real-world examples to help you remember topics. You will need the textbook to make your notes to study for exams. Lots of extra credit if you need it. A few online essays that should boost your grade. Study and do your homework, put in a little effort, and you should get an A
Take this professor!! His lectures are fun and he gives you examples so you can actually relate them to your life and it helps you remember them. He offers so much extra credit it's almost impossible to fail. Study lecture notes and you should be good for the exams
He's hilarious and I really enjoyed his class. This was the only class that I took that I genuinely wanted to attend. Highly recommend his class.
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!!!! He is hilarious and knows exactly what hes talking about. Take notes, you'll want to go to class (because he rocks), and just review the textbook with the reviews he posts online and you'll be golden.
This class was super entertaining! I actually felt like I wanted listen to him every week. He is super funny, and gives you plenty of time to write down notes. The book helps, but it is not necessary. As long as you study your notes you should do good. When studying make sure you know which theory belongs to which group START THE EXTRA CREDIT EARLY
He is the greatest teacher I have had at any level for any course. I took him for intro to sociology and then again for criminology. He is hilarious and an incredibly intelligent guy. Would recommend him to everyone. Can't say enough good things about him!
This has got to be one of the best profs I have ever taken. He's clearly very passionate about the subject and he knows his stuff. He's very good about giving scenarios that help you grasp the subject matter. Easy to talk to and gives SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. He gives you all the tools you need to pass.
Professor Ur is one of the best professors I have ever had and his lectures are amazing. It is definitely worth taking his class
GO TO CLASS!! He lectures about everything you need to know. Super funny and keeps the class laughing with funny examples! Do not BS your work, he actually grades papers. Love this prof and would definitely take it again.
Take Ur if you have the option. He is hilarious and makes lectures super interesting and engaging. There are lots of extra credit opportunities so take advantage (they're easy). Test weren't challenging as long as you make flashcards over his note outlines (it is literally just definitions and some applications of them). Easy A overall!
Professor Ur is an amazing professor who really cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. All his lectures are very entertaining and interesting. He is really funny and includes a lot of stories in his lecture. The material is made very clear, if you study your notes you will do good on the tests.
Ur is such a cool guy! His lectures are always super interesting, he is always available for help if you need it and gives great feedback. Tests can be a little confusing, but there's a lot of extra credit opportunities.
I really enjoyed taking him. His tests are hard and worded weird. His lectures are interesting and relatable. I wish the tests were easier.
Mr. Ur is the best professor I've had! His lectures are very interesting and he makes you want to come to class. He usually doesn't take the whole time either. You have to write a few essays but they increase in length and a fairly simple. He doesn't grade them harshly either. Buy the later edition of the book and you'll do well on tests.
He's the best professor you'll have. Ur is super down to earth and passionate about sociology. Don't worry, not difficult at all, you'll pass.
Professor Ur is amazing! His lectures are great and funny and I actually loved going to class. Not too difficult of a class if you just do the work. Test are kind of hard but honestly not that bad.
hes so funny and such a dope guy. he listens to you hes so smart and so helpful in office hours. his lectures are so interesting and hes laid back and suuuppeeerrr funny. take him. best prof I've had at blinn
Ur is my favorite prof. Hes a super laid back guy and so funny. His lectures were super interesting and engaging. It felt like he was talking to you instead of the whole class. I always wanted to show up to class and so did everyone else. unlike other classes almost everyone always showed up and were super engaged. 10/10 reccomend taking.
Mr Ur is the most understanding and laid back professor Ive had and it was really refreshing since all my other profs are pretty tough! You really should go to class to understand the lecture and then use the book to get a better understanding. Very easy to talk to and very relateable! One of the best professors at Blinn for sure.
Professor Ur is an amazing teacher. Super laid back and funny. easy to talk to and always there to help you. tests are a little hard but nothing too bad. he makes lectures interesting and very engaging. definitely recommend taking his class.
Ive had at least 30 professors in the three years since I had Ur at Blinn and hes still the best professor Ive ever had. I had intro to sociology and criminology with him and it got me to major in sociology. His classes are exactly what you hope and expect college will be like. I looked forward to attending class.
The best professor I have ever had. 3 tests, 3 participation papers, 2 projects that were papers and a final. Very easy grading on the papers. Offers substitution assignments for tests and papers. He is very into what he does and is an expert in his field. You don't have to go to the lectures but I went because he makes them interesting and fun.
He takes role until the first test, that's it. Tests aren't easy, but he gives easy extra credit for up to ten points on your FINAL grade (start that ASAP though). Super funny lectures, he basically just tells you terms and you study them and you're good. Pay attention to theories - that's 80% of the test, NOT just regurgitating terms.
Loved Ur. His lectures were fun, he doesn't take attendance seriously. Tests are lecture based, I barely ever went to class, I just read my roommates notes and I got a B in the course. I actually didn't mind going though because he is really funny and makes you want to pay attention. I really recumbent him. Its not a lot of work and grades are easy
Ur is the actual best! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and he loves his students. He's hilarious and super chill. His class is mainly lecture based, he has a few papers just to get your opinion on things. TAKE NOTES DURING THE LECTURES! His tests are kind of hard just because of how "academically-phrased" it is. Totally TAKE HIM!
He is such a laid-back teacher. If you show up to class and take notes you will easily pass. If you spend an hour or two studying then you will get A's on the tests. There are 4 papers so if you aren't a great writer you may have a problem but he grades pretty easy. If you let him use you as an example during class then it will work in your favor.
A super cool professor - his lectures are fun and naturally help you learn the material. He was very helpful and gave advice about what I could do to improve my papers. Memorize what the different theory's think about a subject and you're golden.
Ur is super laid back and extremely funny. I'd say his papers are easy and he's a pretty easy grader, his exam require 1-2 hours of studying tops, and there is plenty of extra credit opportunities!! You do absolutely have to know all the theories. He is very personable and easily one of my favorite prof
Professor Ur is an incredible professor. His lectures are more like conversations with the students and he uses students as examples to help you understand the material he is teaching. He is quite funny and uses his own life as some examples to explain a topic. There are plenty of extra credit options so use them and get an A or don't and get a B.
Professor Ur was the best teacher I've had yet. His lectures were amazing and unique. He does tests off of lectures but lets you know "hey, right this down, it's gonna be on the test". Taking notes in class is really simple and he lets you know what you need to know. He doesn't care about attendance but with him as a professor, youll want to go!
Hes fantastic, and will do as much as he can to help his students inside and outside of the classroom!
Professor Ur is the best teacher I've ever had for real. Lectures are hilarious and super engaging. The time flies back because you're laughing the whole time and he makes concepts very easy to understand. Super nice guy also. There are a TON of extra credit opportunities. If you are taking sociology, TAKE HIM! It'll be the best decision ever.
10/10 cant recommend enough. The most hilarious professor. Such an easy grader. You can for sure get an A if you take notes. im taking another class with him because of how cool he is
By far one of my favourite profs. He is hilarious in his lectures which makes class a lot more bearable. Lots of note taking involved so be prepared. He is very caring and outgoing and makes learning fun! Most assignments are online and posted way ahead of time. 10/10 guy that I wish could teach all my subjects!!
Ur is literally the best man alive. he makes lectures fun with great examples/scenarios. he is very understanding enjoys feedback from students. as long as you show up to class hes got your back!
Ur is the best professor I've ever had so far! I always looked forward to his class, and would be upset if I did miss class. He's hilarious, and he lectures great. I can't say enough about him. All you gotta do is show up, take notes, and study and you will do fine. I will be taking him again in the future. He's a humble guy. You wont regret it!!
Professor Ur is one of the best professors I've had in a long time! He gives hilarious, entertaining, and very informative lectures. There are a couple of easy papers in the class, no quizzes, and a few easy tests. He gives a ton of opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester. He is very accessible outside as well.
Best professor ever! He is HILARIOUS and his lectures are amazing. I look forward to going to his lectures because he makes learning fun. He gives great examples so you can understand the concepts and material very well and also gives several extra credit opportunities TAKE HIM!!!!
Professor Ur has been by far one of the most accomodating and understanding professors I have ever had. He is a super nice guy and his lectures are really entertaining and interactive! As long as you study for the tests you will do fine, and there are only a few essays that are like 1-2 pages. Would definitely recommend this class!
I really enjoyed ur. Hes an awesome professor and he may not even realize how much of a impact he has on his students. I am one of those students. Although the class is lecture heavy he makes it as interactive as possible. So dont be afraid to participate :). I hope you experience this once in a lifetime professor. HES AMAZING!
Mr. UR is a great teacher, and by far one of the best professors that I have had at Blinn. Get ready for him to lecture over the topics that y'all will learn about, and take some notes, it also what we did every single class. He also is very good with noticing you outside class. lol You will have 4 test, and other than that some class work.
Professor Ur is a great guy, but I found myself struggling to maintain an A in his class. All lectures are verbal, meaning you need to attend. What made it difficult was his exams. He will reword the definition in such a weird way that it's difficult to understand. BUT, his lectures were very interesting and he's very funny/relatable.
Brent Ur was a super fun prof. He cares about his students, and will basically take you under his wing. He is very funny and while lecturing he will drift off topic and tell the funniest of stories. He is very understanding, and helpful. If you're planning on taking a Soci class, I definitely recommend Brent!!
If you have the opportunity to take Ur DO IT! He is the absolute best professor. His class is actually fun and he includes everyone in lectures. He is so hilarious and caring. Great Prof. So sad Im not taking him this semester.
350 characters cannot sum up how amazing this guy is. His 1301 Soci class was amazing. He uses real-life examples and really makes you understand the subject. He offers a bunch of extra credit. There is not much course work just 3 tests a final and a few papers. This class was so much fun Ur is a fantastic guy!!! Lectures are AMAZING. 12/10
the best professor Ive come across & probably will ever come across. He truly cares about you and genuinely wants his students to succeed. He is so understanding about things that pop up in life and his class work is very manageable. His lectures are super easy to understand and listen to because he relates them to real life
Highly recommend Ur. He is so dedicated to teaching, and he makes sociology fun and interesting to learn. Tests are kind of worded weird, but it's completely doable and I never failed one. His extra credit brought my grade up ten points. Love him and would take him again if I had the chance.
Professor Ur is incredible. His lectures were so engaging and he is just overall a great teacher. I took an 8-week course and had 4 exams (including the final), 2 projects (1-page papers), and 3 papers (each paper was built off the previous one). I would take Ur's class 1000000 times over again. He is such an awesome professor. TAKE HIS CLASS.
Professor Ur was probably the best professor I've had at blinn. He's very cooperative and forgiving. He also doesn't try to push any political views on his students, which for me was a huge plus.
Great professor!! zero complaints.
Professor Ur is fantastic! His lectures are amazing and he is hilarious! He loves what he does & cares so much about respect and acceptance. He was always respectful and encouraged us to share our views so that we could be more open in class. If you are looking for a fun time & great material the Brent is the guy for you, you won't be disappointed.
Prof Ur was really easy to work with. If you missed an assignment and you reached him ahead of time, he would work with you to turn it in. Always stated in his class that it would be impossible to fail bc he is willing to work with you. Interested in the subject and made class interesting to listen to. Register for his class if you get the chance.
Professor Ur is probably one of the best professors I have ever had at Blinn College. He makes his lectures so fun and he is so helpful to any questions you may have about the class. None of his exams are proctored, that includes his final exam. 10/10 excellent professor.
Professor Ur was hands down the best teacher I have ever came across at blinn. He makes the lectures so fun and interesting gives real life examples that hes gone through. You do have papers but were pretty easy to do. Open note/book test and not proctored. Gives a ton of extra credit. I was honestly sad that I took a 8 week course with him.
I had Prof Ur for an 8 week course. He's very understanding and will work with you. The papers are extremely vague which can make choosing a topic difficult. He gives good extra credit. He's definitely left-leaning but I'll forgive him for that cause his class is an easy A as long as you do the work and take notes in class.
This is a great professor. He is extremely funny and the lectures are very interesting. He always will explain things for you no matter what. He is a solid choice. 4 exams. 3 papers. 2 projects. The only thing is that the exam questions are hard to understand. Other than that, he is a great professor and I can tell he loves his job.
By far the best and most considerate professor I have had at Blinn. He makes the lectures incredibly interesting and he had me laughing all the time. Don't look any further, take Professor Ur!
Take professor Ur, you wont regret it!
Just take professor Ur's class! He is so funny and caring. His lectures were always so interesting and inclusive.
Lectures keep you interested. I genuinely enjoyed going to this class everyday. Its a fun class and he makes it even more fun. The few assignments he gives are very clear and straight forward.
I loved professor Ur. You can tell he genuinely cares for his students name loves teaching. Loved going to his class, lectures were always interesting and he is hilarious. Only reason I made a b is because I started slacking a bit towards the end. But love him
His lectures where funny and engaging. You could use the notes on exams so always take notes. Tests always lined up with the lectures and he offered multiple extra credit oppourtunites. There where very few things to be graded on but it was always easy like 3 papers all under 5pgs and then tests. He was rlly funny and I would take him again.
He is Super nice, and makes the class to benefit you! I would recommend him to anyone. Super easy and fun, but you still learn content.
Prof Ur is enthusiastic about his students and the material he is teaching. I found myself looking forward to his class every week. His tests are online no Honorlock, and there are 5 papers to write total but 3 of those you can build upon(use the same essay). He's a very common sense guy and is always interacting with the class. You will love him!
Professor Ur is very funny and makes his lectures super fun. I always look forward to his class because he makes them very enjoyable. He has a lot of extra credit, his exams are not honor locked, TAKE PROFESSOR UR!!!!
If you need this class for credit or for your major take prof Ur!! He is quite possibly the best prof I've had in college so far. His lectures are always funny and interesting and he really and truly tries to make sure everyone knows what he's talking about. TAKE PROF UR!!!
I LOVED Mr. Ur. It is so easy to learn in his class because he makes it so enjoyable and entertaining. I'm stupid and missed exams because he doesn't talk about the dates often, but he still allowed me to take it without any points off. He's also super woke.
Great professor, easy-going, and makes lectures interesting. His notes are super easy that clearly state everything. Exams are not that hard and are all online. Lots of writing though, have 2 written projects and 3 major essays. Tons of extra credit opportunities. Would def take this class!
I LOVED PROF UR!!!!! He is possibly the best prof I've had in college so far. His lectures are super entertaining and fun. 3 tests (not on honorlock), 2 projects, and 3 papers but a lot of extra credit. Would take him again!!
Gives good lectures and relates this course to current times, very realistic lectures. Very entertaining class and professor.
His lectures are really funny&engaging, Easy quizzes&exams. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN absolutely Approve! His lectures are very interesting about people & society. Easy A- gives you a lecture notes to study and explain it on lectures, just pass the papers on time & he gives good feedback, lots of bonuses! like LOTS!
Professor Ur is a really good prof. there are essays we will write but the topic is interesting. he is an easy grader and is a very good lecturer
Professor Ur was a great professor, he is a very understanding guy and very interesting. His lectures always had me so interested in what we were learning.
Professor Ur is amazing! He always has examples and relates everything he discusses to our lives! His assignment are pretty simple and can get them done in a last minute timing if needed.
Professor Ur was one of the best professers I have ever taken. He is so passionate about what he is teaching and is so interactive with his students. I absolutely loved this course and would recommend it for everyone. There are a couple writing assignments but they are not bad at all. Overall just a 10/10 professor!
Ur is perfect for SOCI 1301! Lectures aren't necessary, but he explains everything with detail and enthusiasm. 4 exams (4th isn't comprehensive) that are basically from his notes (already made) and his in-person information. 5 papers that can each be done in a weekend. There are extra-credit papers. Ur is super chill and this class is an easy A.
Professor Ur is very understanding and kind. I really enjoyed his class. You only have 10-12 assignments the whole time. Watch out for the deadlines, as he closes assignments at 11:30 instead of 12. He does a really good job of explaining the content and you can tell he enjoys it.
Never in my entire life have I wanted to go to school until I took this class. You don't even need to go to class, you can get As on the tests just by looking at his notes, yet I still went to every class because I was so interested. He's incredible at involving the students, keeping you entertained and laughing, but still learning. 100% recommend!
Really easy, don't need to go to class. Just do the work, and all tests are easy. (is a woke idiot just dont listen and get through the easy work)
1000000% recommend taking Professor Ur! To be completely honest, I think I went to class once or twice and still made an A+... he grades super easily and doesn't assign very many things. Bless your GPA with this professor!
He was a great teacher!!!
A great professor that's easy going. If you use textbook, notes, and actually listen/have-fun in lecture, the class is easy. I could have made an A if I had read the textbook more. He provides 2 letter grades worth of Extra Credit (actual Extra Credit and substitution assignments). He also just actually cares; I felt actually safe in his class.
Professor Ur is a great teacher, you are not required to show up to class but i would highly recommend going because his lectures are amazing. I took him in an 8 week class and it went by super fast, he only gave 5 total papers and 4 tests, all online and not proctored. he also gives extra credit options and an extra credit paper. Amazing guy!!!!!
This class was always enjoyable and interesting. I am a quiet person and his lectures made me want to participate. He gives a lot of extra credit and is willing to work with you. I took his blended class and all the exams were open-book. Take him if you can!
BEST professor ever! I took a blended class (our tests were online and open-book). The class itself was genuinely so interesting and I wanted to go to class every day. He has so many things to share that are so funny/engaging and makes for an enjoyable class. Would 100% recommend and take again! Definitely an easy A class as well.Just put in effort
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! He is kind and respects everyone's thoughts and opinions but in all, he cares for you like you are his kid! I took him for, Into Soci, Soci Psych, and Criminology and loved every class!
The best professor I've had. He gives great lectures and is very well at explaining each topic.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I took him for sociology and am currently taking his social psychology class just because I enjoyed his class so much. His classes are straightforward. If you do the work he assigns you will do well in the class. Though you don't need to go to class to be successful I highly recommend going just because they are so interesting.
I loved this class. He's so engaging to the point where I want to show up to class. He doesn't give homework but the only grades are exams, papers, and projects. Exams are open note and papers and projects are straightforward and easy. He offers a lot of extra credit and substitution assignments. Overall such a cool dude highly recommend him.
Best professor ever !!! So much extra credit. Tests were not bad, and no honorlock. One paper per unit, but he graded really easy and they weren't long at all (would do them the night before). Such interesting lectures. Take if you want easy A. Attendance is not mandatory, but he does tell you test questions and answers in lectures, so take notes !
Professor Ur has to be one of the best professors iv'e taken at the Blinn campus. He is hilarious, and cares for all of his students. His lectures were very interesting and engaging. All you have to do for his class is one discussion post each week along with 1 paper, and 1 exam. He gives out A LOT of extra credit. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
Professor Ur's SOC1301 class is an engaging and rewarding experience. With minimal assignments and ample extra credit, it's an easy A. Lectures are captivating, and unstuck AI proved a helpful study tool alongside the optional textbook. Highly recommend!
Such a fun engaging class. I took this as an 8 week class and definitely recommend this. Professor Ur is so funny and makes class enjoyable. Easy class !!
hes a super kind man with interactive, entertaining lectures. he had some tough tests but he always curved them heavily. all his tests are online, at home, unproctured.
Very easy course. Professor Ur is friendly and an easy grader. You only have a few papers and tests throughout the 8 weeks but he rarely gives you less than an 'A' on papers. Tests are pretty much open note.
I took a 8 week SOCI 1301 class and there are not enough words to explain how good professor Ur was !!! Super helpful, great and interesting lectures, VERY FUNNY. Very hard to not pass this class. Just overall really perfect professor. I would definitely take him again if I could!!
Ur is great. Super easy grader and hilarious lectures. He works with students if they have scheduling conflicts and overall is very understanding. His lectures are great but you can do well in the class without attending them as well.
Prof Ur was so sweet and caring. I attended class the first day only and got an 82 in the class but that is mainly because I missed a due date for a paper and got a 0. I recommend!
He made every lecture interesting and always welcomed and answered questions. The only mandatory grades were papers and exams, but all exams were open note including the final and papers were not difficult also extra credit for every unit. Overall, he is one of the nicest professors I've ever had, and genuinely enjoys his job.
Lots of papers but this man is AMAZING. Would def take him again if i could.
Super chill and all quizzes are open book smooth as a cucumber!
He is very passionate about what he talks about, so his lectures are interesting. Exams are easy, but I found his papers to be kind of difficult. Not a time consuming class, I took his 8 week and still got an A.
He was an awesome professor and made the class interesting and relatable. Work was easy enough just make sure you do your work. Would definitely take him again.
oh my god this teacher is amazing. he is so incredibly nice and he cares so much about his students. so lenient with grading and really makes class interesting absolutely love him. I wish he could teach my all my classes I need in college he's just so amazing.
