Easy class. Must be IN class for group works. He says he gives 4 pop quizzes but ends up giving only one.Midterms, finals, reaction papers are so easy! He's very nice, simple, and straight to the point. I'd say 80 percent of the stuff that's on the his midterms are from the stuff discussed in class. So, if you're lazy to read the text, go to class.

Mr. Ramos is a really cool person, and he realy wants his student's to do well. His class is easy to pass if you study, but his lectures can be quite boring at times.

Took the class online. It was work, but managed to get A. The thing that makes this class more work is when the rest of the class waits until the last minute to post responses on the forum because Ramos grades you on 3 responses:1 response to his prompt and 2 more to students' responses. This made me have to wait and then cram at the last minute.

do not take him. i really believed this would be an easy class but it stressed me out bc he never answers emails and he will ASSIGN WORK LAST MINUTE and have quizzes on stuff we barely went over, this class will have you going insane bc i sure was. He never says when the assignments were due and would suddenly expect them on a random day .

PROS: This class is super easy as long as you attend the lectures. He is a very open-minded professor, but still sensitive. His discussions and lectures are fun! CONS: He does not responds to any e-mails or messages, so you have to keep on track. I also recommend always checking canvas for your assignments because he will not remind you for those.

He knows everything that he is talking about and you can always ask him questions during lectures. He is one of the kindest professor I have ever taken, he will understand and accept late works. Quizzes are easy as 1,2,3. As long as you make sure that you study for midterms and finals, they will be easy too. ALWAYS Check canvas for assignments!!!

very easy class if your busy with work, you turn in assignments every other sunday, majority of the homework is vocabulary in your own words plus a few questions, every week theres a quiz on the chapters that you have to do for each week with 5 questions 12 mins in total, also theres about 2 papers the whole semester

He is very boring. Assigns a lot of homework but it is easy busy work. Study guides are oddly put together and kinda help for the tests. Quizzes and tests were pretty easy, you just have to study a tiny bit. Got to miss the final because he drops one test which I really liked. Huge end of the year research paper that was easy but took a lot of time

PROS: Very nice prof, wants students to do well, free online textbook, good lectures, open-minded and caring, hw due every sunday (consistent schedule) CONS: not great at replying to emails, didn't fully explain our paper requirements until the day before it was due, inputs grades way after they're due, did not zoom used discussion posts instead

Prof Ramos might give a heavy work load, but it is worth it. SOCIO 1H is hard, but it makes you learn about a lot. Ramos is very understandable, and just wants the best for you, he is awesome!

Textbook is free and is a very nice and understanding professor, and also group assignments are most likely part of every class lecture.

This Professor grades work super late. He doesnt respond to emails until after an assignment is due. It literally feels like youre teaching yourself.

I took him for the last 8-week session. He's boring with lectures, but he's a great teacher. He doesn't respond to emails on time, so that was stressful. It was a lecture, then 1 group assignment in class, and then 1 discussion and 1 quiz due every week. Gives good amount of extra credit/free textbooks. Attendance is only for participation points.

Prof. Ramos' class is very good, and I did enjoy it though at times it was a bit tedious. Each module is 2 weeks apart and there are tons of articles, videos and readings to go through followed by a worksheet, discussion board and quiz. Overall a good class but very reading heavy
