Professor Vito is a well-respected professor that is very knowledgeable in his field. I found him to be a very dynamic speaker and gets you really interested in the lecture. His lectures are straightforward and he makes it clear what will be on the test. It's impossible to fail. If you need this class, I highly recommended everyone to take him.
Great teacher!
He is one of the best teachers, he really get's you to think out of the box. He enjoys teaching, and makes the class easy going. The test's are right from the lecture notes and readings. It's an easy A!!!
Very great teacher, young too. Understands us very much. Also gave a awesome final.
he makes his lectures very lively and throught provoking, he's also very considerate of his students and their situations
Very approachable, knowledgeable, supportive, and helpful. Simply showing up to class can earn you extra credit. Allows students to be free thinkers and follow their own paths. Fair grader and offers plenty of options and extra credit. You really have to go out of your way to get anything other than an A in this class. Prof Vito is the right choice
Professor Vito has great lectures, easy to learn material and great sense of humor. You will definitely enjoy this class. Totally recommend it!
Professor Vito is awesome, his lectures are clear, entertained and very informative. Easy A class do the readings, take notes and there is your A. He is flexible and always responds to his messages. This was the best class of the semester and was always interesting. Few group activities, but fun and easy. I will definitely take him again.
Professor Vito is an extremely capable teacher. He has a unique style of teaching that is not seen often. Not only was his teaching style refreshing, but inspiring. The material and the readings themselves are interesting. When it comes to exams there is nothing that hasn't been covered in class on them. I would love to take another class with him.
Professor Vito is very straightforward and makes the class interesting and fun. The class is easy, his grading criteria is very clear and does not have a lot of homework but notes are a must to pass the class due to the tests. Overall he is a great instructor and very funny! I would definitely take another class of his!
Great professor. Very cool lectures. Gets the class to interact in discussions, quick fun activities, shows plenty of videos, pictures, music, etc, related to the subject. Very passionate about his work. Glad I took his class.
All around great professor. Tests are reflective of lecture, not a textbook heavy course. He keeps the class interesting.
Great Teacher, The dynamic of the class feels great. Young and energetic, will reccomend anyone to take his courses
Great professor! It's refreshing and inspiring to come across professors who are passionate about their subject. His lectures are relevant, funny, and informative. There are no surprises on the test. So long as you take notes and attend class, you're golden with an A. I would most definitely take another class with him!
Very good professor, has a interesting and unique way of teaching that makes his lectures fun. He makes it easy to want to keep attending his classes. He is also very funny!
Professor Vito is as real as they come. By far the best teacher I have had at SWC, because he really wants you to succeed in his class. His class is super straightforward and as long as you do the readings and do well on the tests you will get an A in the class. He also a really fair grader and his lectures are really interesting.
Professor Vito is a really good teacher ! He is really into sociology and really knows what he is talking about during his lectures! No textbook requires just the reading he assigns on BB. Just read the readings and review the notes. He assigns reflection notes. Great teacher! Would take a class with him again! Really recommend him!
Definitely recommend on taking this class. Professor Vito makes each lecture interesting. It's difficult to find any true dull moments. The concepts themselves are interesting but having this Professor increases the fascination ten-fold. He's funny, caring, respectful, and communicative. A perfect teacher teaching an excellent subject. No stress.
This professor is awesome! I would definitely take his class again. He is very relatable and makes learning fun! He is also very funny, nice and approachable. I wish there were more professors like him out there!
Profesor Vito is so cool and he class is worth taking. The tests are no hard if you study for them and the class is not boring. In simple words he is an amazing professor.
Very informative and interesting class, tests are straight from readings and lectures.
Take him!! very lenient and all the lectures are interesting.
Really good teacher, with a good sense of humor. I defenetly recommend this professor.
A great, clear and thoroughly entertaining professor. Emphasis on clear, straightforward instruction. The book work takes a few hours per chapter but the subject is interesting and the atmosphere of the class very relaxed. I learned a lot (quite a lot considering the wide range of macro and micro topics) and had a decent time in every class.
This class was pretty interesting and professor Vito made it even more enjoyable. Lectures weren't boring at all. Definitely a class you would enjoy attending.
This is the best and interesting class I have ever taken here at Southwestern. Keeps the class very interesting ranging from the topics we discuss in class to his very good humor. He was very helpful even outside class and if I could I would take it again. He is also planning a new sociology hip hop class for fall 2017. He is a really cool dude!
hes very cool and young his class are always interesting and he always has stories from school or things with his niece. HE makes the class very interesting and fun he doeskin require to you to buy a expensive textbook . Only thing is he starts class on time. But it wont be surprising if you find him at a nightclub lol he looks super young!!!!
Had a good time, not too hard grade wise, we only had a few homework assignments. We did a group activity every couple of weeks, the best part of the class was the lecture for sure, Prof. Vito does a great job a relating the material to our lives and presenting it in and understandable way, and highlights what will be on the tests. A good choice
This professor really impressed me! For his age (young) he really knows how to put on a lecture and most of all, he knows what he's talking about. I really enjoyed his class to the point where I actually looked forward to lectures-funny, interesting and engaging for sure. Read the topics discussed in class and just attend class for a very doable A
Had an amazing time in class this fall 2016 at SWC. Lectures really plug into real life situations that can be analyzed and applied. Relatable, honest, and passionate in his teaching. Class interactions are very helpful to concepts in class.
Had an awesome time in professor Vito's Sociology class. He makes class fun, he's funny, everything that he lectures is on point. If you show up to class every day, read all the articles, turn in all the homework assignments, and do well on tests you'll for sure pass his class with an 'A'. Take his Sociology class I HIGHLY recommend it 100%.
No. He did not give me extra credit to write a review on ratemyprofessor. This Professor. Man. I am already upset the semester is over because this was the best class I took at southwestern. It's like the movie Freedom Writers where you wanna stay all 4 years with the same teacher. This is a class you will be remember after you are done with school
If you need to take sociology take Professor Vito classes you know what to expect organized and well planned out, Not a hard class to keep up with just don't be lazy and put in the work
If you really like to learn in a fun and dynamic ways, take his class you will not want to miss any class I really enjoy this class. The assignments you do are really not mush is normal, and all the information he teach you on class it's relative to the exams so if you attend regular his classes you will pass
Mr. Vito definitely makes sure to get the main points across, he makes things easy to understand, uses videos and activities to help you better grasp the key concepts, and asks questions that really get you thinking. I was inspired. Reflections are only hw. Don't miss class, you won't regret it.
This course has been the only class I have ever taken at this educational establishment where I am truly sad to go. Professor Vito Is the one for you!
This was the best class that I've taken, it even got me to change my major to sociology. Prof Vito makes the lectures interesting and relevant to his students. The material was really easy to understand and digest. The readings are highly focused on for the exams, so always make sure to do them. Besides that, it was an easy and fun class.
I HIGHLY recommend Chris Vito. He is so easy going and gets straight to the point. I really enjoyed going to every class not because attendance was extra credit but because he made it fun to learn. He's so chill and laid back. I am sad that this class is over because he was the best and because he always talks about his niece and it's so cute.
Great teacher, real nice guy, highly recommend!
All of the topics that we discussed in class are very interesting. The professor is very good at explaining the topics and making the whole class discuss various interesting topics
One of the best professors I have taken at SWC. Definitely recommend. Never boring, so you won't want to miss class. Easy A if you study for tests and don't miss too many lectures.
Professor Vito is the best teacher I've had in my 2 year college experience so far. He makes his topics very fun to learn and in an easy way that is understood by the entire classroom. He is also very passionate about his material that it makes it almost impossible to not be interested in what he is saying during lecture.
Hes chill a great teacher by far
this professor is an awesome professor all the way. its an easy A if you show up everyday and participate as well. he interacts with the whole class, its a fun class to take with him he helps you understand everything he tries to teach you in class.
Super cool guy. Makes every topic really relatable to your own life and is also really funny with his lectures and videos he shows.
Awesome professor. He makes the class interesting and easy enough if you go to class and pay attention. Nothing is a surprise. You always know what to expect for hw and exams (hw is very little). Definitely worth taking and would take him again!
I enjoyed this class and learning new things, if I could take it again i would. Awesome teacher and an even more awesome class!
Where to start, he is an amazing professor, really cares about his field. if your a sociology major he is a must take. Class is structured well, just show up and pay attention. it helps that he is easy on the eyes as well.
Christopher Vito, has inspired me to be a Sociologist. His laid back approach, confidence and enthusiasm is inspirational! I learned so much in his class because of his easy to follow approach. He has to be one of the top tier professors at Southwestern College. And if not opt to be!
Easy and fun class. If you do *ALL* of your homework, you can still get an A in the class despite getting B's on your tests. Laid back teacher and cracks a joke here and there. Gives extra credit even though homework and tests are relatively easy. More importantly, he tells you what you need to write down as it is on the test.
He was the best teacher I had! He is young and I won't lie,I was surprised to see this short young dude that looked like a regular student unlock the door on the first day. lol however, don't let his appearance fool you. His knowledge, his passion, his ability to explain in depth,is what makes him great. this wasn't even my major but it may be now!
I definitely enjoyed this course and I appreciated how every concept that was touched within this class, was clearly discussed and reassured that it was understood. You can also feel the passion the professor has towards his profession which plays a big role by showing his love and devotion for his work. He is definitely willing to help you out!
Can't recommend him enough, down to earth. Makes the class and lectures enjoyable. Iv'e never had a interested in Sociology till now.
Prof Vito is an amazing professor. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the test on the day of the test so they are suuuper easy. He's hilarious always cracks a joke here and there. I would totally take another class with him.
Easy A. Gives all the answers before Exam. Super relaxed grading criteria. Basically do everything assigned and you are guaranteed to pass.
He is a very interesting individual. I am not into Sociology but he made the subject a little less boring. He tells you exactly what will be on the exam. JUST STUDY THE NOTES & YOU WILL BE GOLDEN. Group assignments are fun & easy. Extra credit opportunity here & there. Take snacks, he occasionally gets hungry.
Amazing teacher. Down to earth. Class will never be boring.
He's amazing, one of the best teachers at southwestern college, honestly just take him, you won't regret it.
Professor Vito is perhaps the best professor at Southwestwern college. He's very young and relates with the students. The topics are interesting and he engages with the students to make sure they understand. He also is very funny, and often makes the class laugh. I'd definitely choose him as a professor.
Quality teacher. Highly recommend to take him as he makes lectures interesting, fun, and engaging.
Awesome professor! His lectures are interesting and classes are fun. His test are fair and there is no surprises in his class.
Yes PLEASE take his class. He is very young for his age to teach but don't let that deceive you. His lectures are straight forward and his test are not difficult. Just be in class and study and you will get an easy A!!
Professor Vito is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes every lecture interesting and he is very funny. His tests are not that easy but study the notes and you'll be fine.
You HAVE TO pay attention to the lectures because 60% of the tests are based on the lectures, besides that though just do the reflections and study your class notes and you'll be good. He's super cool, super nice, and super reasonable. He also dresses really nice and always looks clean lol
Dude this professor was awesome. His lectures are super important because majority of the test questions are found from his lectures, but his lectures are usually entertaining. He also looks like a student from just first looking at him so you might get surprised when you realize he's your professor. But yeah easy class in my opinion.
GREAT PROFESSOR, SUPER FUNNY, HELLA CUTE. I would totally take another class with him. lectures are very understandable he gives good examples. just study for the tests and quizzes and you will be fine
hes hot hes cool and hes hella smart. just go to class and read the stuff and write the reflections and ur good
Hes fine as hell, and extremely relatable. As long as you pay attention to his lectures, youll pass. He makes the class fun and personal. Really enjoyed his class.
Great professor! Amazing lectures and is very down to earth! Will work with you, gives many opportunities to raise your grade and all that matters to him is if you are there and show that you care! Definitely easy A, very informative, chill and a good professor! He cares for his students. He even looks like a student! Definitely will take again!
Easily one of the best professors I have ever had. Show up to class because attendance is extra credit toward your test scores. Most of the tests are based off the lectures, so study your notes. There was never a day I was bored because everything he taught was very interesting . Take him for GE if you can! 100% recommend him!
His passion for teaching and the raw material her presents in something you can't get in a classroom now a days. He is funny and intelligent. I recommend him to anyone who needs a motivated teacher.
Vito is a great professor! He makes his lectures super interesting and simple. You will not need to really study because he breaks everything down perfectly. I hardly studied and I aced every exam. He has you do a total of 6 short reflections, some in-class group assignments and a final project throughout the semester!Again all super easy!Take him!
Great guy. Fun and easy to work with. Pay attention in lecture and you should be fine.
Professor Vito is one of the best professors at Southwestern. Thought he was a student on the first day. He is very clear with his grading and assignments, he gives you extra points on tests for showing up and doing classwork. He is hilarious and his lectures are interesting. Highly recommended.
Very fun class. Professor Vito is an easy going professor and his lectures are very clear. His teaching style adapts to all students and the exams are exactly what you learn during lecture. Occasional in-class activities, as well as a total of 6 reflections, exams, and some extra credit opportunities make up your grade. Overall easy and interesting
Not hard but if you go everyday and study for exam you should be good professor gives extra credit
One of the best professors I have had so far. Mr. Vito makes the class look so easy with his teaching skills. He is very clear and organized and his amazing lectures are super interesting. Makes me want to change my career! I totally enjoyed his class! Hope I can take another course with him in the future!
He's one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. He makes his lectures funny in a way that helps you understand the topic. His class is really easy, but informative. Take this class if you want to have a great time.
Took his class over the summer and needless to say he was an awesome teacher. I love how his teaching style was genuine like his personality. Cares for his students and goes the extra mile to help his students understand topics although his lectures always had me engaged. enjoyed being his student and learned so much from him. he knows how to dress
Best teacher at swc
He was amazing and hilarious! I didnt really do well on his exams because Im really bad at test taking (and because I didnt really study lol). Out of the 5 exams I probably got an F, B,B,C,C in that order and still got an A overall! Just make sure you do all the work (easy As) and attend all classes because he does gives extra credit!
He teaches from experience and will not let you down. His lectures will not let you down. listen to what he says because he'll throw some of that into your tests. Read all the assigned reading and do the responses and you are sure to pass.
Great teacher engages with class very well he is funny and related to the subjects taught in class. Has a lot of personal experience as well as his education.
Easy A if you go to all his lectures. Tells you exactly what will be on the test. As long as you do the hw, reading, and pay attention in class, you should be fine. Curses a lot, probably more than he needs to but he's interactive and relatable. Would recommend!
Hands down the best professor Ive ever had!! So funny and blunt. Very easy class! You wont regret taking it!
He is actually a good teacher and I could relate to his lectures. He is very funny and his lectures are great. Just reas the book and study what he tells you what is going to be in the test.
Prof. Vito is a great teacher that cares about his students and uses great tactics to explain the material cover in class. I learn so much in one semester and I will definitely take another class with him . Make sure to do all assignments, take notes and pay attention. Take any of his classes!
I was truly sad semester ended. I truly enjoyed his class. Easy A if you show up and pay attention to his lectures.
He connects sociology and the lectures to the real world and personal life that helps students understand the subject.
Vito is an amazing Professor, defiantly worth taking his class. Not only is it an easy A, but his class is truly inspiring and life changing (really gets your mind and eyes to open up). Great teaching techniques, I plan on taking more classes with this professor.
He is hillarious, I would honestly recommend anyone who is planning on taking Sociology to take his class, best class I've taken at SWC
Amazing class really recommend taking his class
I'm not finished with the semester and I have an A but hands down best professor ever!! He tries to explains his lecture at the best of his ability to make you understand everything he says he uses real life example either what's going on with the world or his own. He tells you what's going to be on the exams so make sure you don't miss class.
Great professor who is very knowledgeable! He is a funny guy so the lectures are always fun and very informative. There are bits of everything, individual work, group work, presentations, etc. Overall this class was amazing and I would take another course with him.
Such an amazing professor. He is very knowledgeable and lectures in a way that is fun and informative. He's great professor and great person, you can tell he enjoys his job and cares about his students and education. I would definetely take another course with him. He's awesome.
best professor ever! this class was very interesting, I really like the way he taught and he does the best he can to make sure you understand. you do group work basically in the beginning of every class but it helps with what we learned that day. even lets you know what will be on the tests. do the work/study and its an easy A.
I loved this class! Not at all what you've expect. Amazing class, very interesting, didn't feel like a class at all. I took it as a winter class and it's not difficult at all. He just published his book so go and download it! it's amazing.
Best teacher ever on Southwestern, no matter what just take his class .
Even though I took his Soci101 class during the summer Prof. Vito made his class enjoyable. He lets you know when something is on the test while he is doing the lecture. He didnt make us bring the text book AT ALL during class, all he had us use the textbook for was reviewing the terms and for the reflections. I HIGHLY recommend him for any class!
Took his sociology class over the summer and I truly loved it. I was quite hesitant as his class is a bit lecture heavy. Despite of this, he made every lecture easy to understand all while still having fun. He is young and relatable and will equip you with everything you need to prepare for the test. Altough he assigned readings, I hardly read.
Took his sociology class over the summer and I truly loved it. Professor Vito made every lecture easy to understand all while still having fun. He is young and relatable and will equip you with everything you need to prepare for the test. I chose my career thanks to his class, best professor!
One of the best professors I've had so far , he is very understanding with his students, he is very outgoing and easy to talk to if you need to , classes are never boring , i took sociology with him, Definitely recommend!!
This professor is amazing at what he does. He talks about things that are important and relevant and makes the material very easy to comprehend. Show up to class for the group projects do the reflections, and you straight. Easy A
BEST SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR EVER!!! THE FINAL WAS SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE, had to choice to write a 4-5 PAGE ESSAY, about what you learned in class or a PROJECT!!! Tests are EASY !! LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT opportunities.
I highly recommend this professor. His class is super easy as long as you show up. The tests are exactly like the notes from the lectures. The lectures are never boring and you learn a lot. The grading system is easy to follow and he is a fast grader.
Professor Vito definitely keeps you on your toes with assignments, but he is one of the most informative and passionate teachers at Southwestern college. Extremely knowledgeable about his subject matter!!
I took Professor Vito this winter intersession and it was very enjoyable. It was a fast paced class since it was only 3 weeks but each lecture was so interesting. I loved the lectures and how engaging he keeps everybody. The test are exactly like his lectures and we had written reflections as well. I recommend taking him!
Absolutely loved taking Professor Vito class. He is really funny and makes learning his material so easy. He provides lots of examples and real-life stories to help understand. Will definitely miss him and his energy. You will not regret taking his class.
Vito is easily one of the best Professors I've ever had! He's passionate about his work, looks after the wellbeing of his students, and honestly cares more that the students are learning the lessons with the intent to change the world and make it a better place. Take his classes if you want an amazing college experience.
This teacher is super caring about his students. Exams are college level comprehension, overall super funny guy. Wonderful author, on and on how amazing he is as a teacher. Dont be hesitant take him because he cares. Overall honor to be his student and learned a lot from his class. Very clear expectations and very through commutation.
Great Professor! He was extremely understanding with class load/work due to covid-19. I would highly recommend to any of my peers!
Great Pr.! Took him for 2020 Jan. Intersession. Easy class: group activities and Test/quiz once a week thats relatable to his lectures. Guy is chill and respectful so be the same.
Really amazing professor. Extremely passionate about sociology and he really hammers its importance. When we had in-person lecture, there was a lot of group activities. Moving to online during COVID, we had a lot more papers. Tests are easy as long as you're reviewing the slides and readings (really short). Awesome class!
Professor Vito is great at explaining the world of Sociology to a new mind. In-class group discussions, engaging lectures, and fitting videos. My only dislike was the awkward wording of test questions, you MUST study to pass these exams. His transition to online during COVID was seamless, I continued to enjoy this class online in the same way!
Professor Vito is amazing! I took his class during Spring 2020. His transition to online learning was impeccable! He opened up ALL past and future assignments to accomodate for students' schedules, which I found very helpful. As long as you stay on top of the material, you will be able to understand it completely! Good luck! (:
I loved taking Professor Vitos class last semester. He is very young and very relatable. His passion for Sociology really encouraged me to pay attention in his class despite it being an 8 am. He is very clear during lectures about what will be on the tests which helped me get straight As on the tests. If youre considering taking him, DO IT!
Im currently taking soc 110 with Professor Vito during summer session and he is by far the best teacher Ive ever had. It is apparent that he cares about his students. He responds quickly and gives amazing feedback. We need more people like him in this world. He gives me hope for humanity. Take the class, youll thank me later.
Took his SOC110 class over the summer and it was great! Reading and writing assignments were typically due every night Monday-Thursday, nothing too difficult and our responses only had to be 1-2 pages. He was also a very quick and easy grader and would often give feedback. Would definitely take another one of his classes.
I love professor Vito!! Im not even a soc major but Id take any of his classes if he taught more. He explains everything in a way where anyone can understand and if you didnt, hes more than happy to help. Hes super chill and understanding of problems. Please take him, you wont revert it!!!
Due to the pandemic I cant say how he is in the classroom, however he's a good professor & very specific on the assignments. One exam I had a hard time turning it in & he requested a zoom meeting to help me out. I redeemed the points that I needed. Very reliable for any help & concerns. I highly recommend.
Professor Vito is one of the most respected and caring professors at SWC. I took him before for SOC 101 and I am glad I took him once again for SOC 110. Due to COVID-19 his class was online... Homework is every week, but easy!! No textbook required! Exams are 1 Page Response to Weekly Modules. 100% Recommend
He's an amazing professor, really cares about his students, and is such a fun class to be in. Show up to class and you'll pass easily, when he says something is gonna be on the test it is. He's super funny and smart, take his class!
Took him for Fall 2020 online and it was a guaranteed A. I finished the coursework early since there's no due dates. TAKE THIS alongside difficult classes you don't have to put in much effort. I love that he is organized and has all the resources ready. Active feedback. Funny memes, Fun class! Love it!
Amazing Professor! Literally the best one out there. He makes class so fun and so easy. All of the class work is very well explained and easy to do. He is also very understanding and cares for his students. He wants you to pass his class!
Don't second guess him. Just take him, he's a really good and easy professor.
Professor Vito is an amazing professor. His lectures/assignments are interesting and interactive. This professor likes getting to know his students. I really liked his class he's the only professor to contact me when I was doing well in the class which shows that he genuinely cares about his student.
He is an amazing professor. Let's you turn in late work with full credit and very much shows that he cares for you.
Best teacher ive had in my Sociology classes so far. Professor Vito is up to date on technology so his assignments and lectures are easy to understand. A perfect online class would be this one.
Such a great professor. Textbook is a PDF that he gives you free. Very organized. You know exactly what is due and the assignments. 4 Quizzes every 3-4 weeks very easy and answers are in the lectures. 4 Exams which are 3 short essay questions. Assignments include DBs and replies no word limits. Final is a paper or project. Take his class!!
TAKE THIS CLASS. Fun and engaging content. Work is not overwhelming and has a very flexible due date. Accepts late or early work. Offers great feedback after every assignment and has a good ear listening to your questions. This is personally one of the most interesting and fun classes i think I'll ever take. Also very organized!
I definitely recommend taking Professor Vito! He is simply amazing and great at breaking down his class. Gives plenty of feedback and as long as you do not slack off on assignments it can be an Easy A . He provides the textbook online for his students and gives feedback to all your assignments .Extra credit is all offered.
one of the nicest professors out there. plus you learn a lot in that class!
He's so caring and nice, made learning during covid a fun time for once. Take this professor if you want a fun yet easy yet interesting class!
I have NO comment for this instructor, this is the EASIEST class I have ever taken at SWC. You can clearly finish all assignments in less than two months with enough dedication. Dont question his class, take him! He tolerates late HW, but you still need to do or he will be forced to give out a 0 as grades. Just take him!
If you want a professor that cares about you as a human being first, this is the professor to take. He communicates multiple times a week and really extends himself to his students. Textbook is via PDF which was great, and there are videos to watch too so that was a nice change of pace!
Professor Vito is Super easy, very kind, gives great feedback. He allows you to turn in late work for full credit. He grades every assignment within hours of you submitting. Definitely would take him again!!!! 10/10
Professor Vito is extremely caring when it comes to his students. Due to returning back to work in person, I fell behind and had an F in the class. The professor went above and beyond after I emailed him my concerns and he created a map that allowed me to pass the class with an A! You do have to put time into the class but its fair work.
If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate and choose professor Vito!! He's an amazing teacher, you'll never find his lectures boring or difficult. The way he gives you the info is very easy to swallow and it's engaging. Also, it's not a free grade, he makes you work for it without making it hard.
Prof. Vito is a great person. His online course is clear & easy to follow, loaded with powerpoints, videos and various essays. (There's no course book.) Even though he accepts late work with no penalty, I wouldn't chance it. You have lots of reading assignments and papers due every week. I kept up, otherwise I would've been a mess by finals.
I really enjoyed Professor Vito's class. He is very understanding and cares for his students. His lectures and assignments are fairly easy and interesting. I never got bored of this class. Professor Vito definitely goes beyond for his students. Always leaves feedback on work and lets you submit late work. Take him for Sociology 101 and 110. Do it!!
10/10 would definitely retake his class
Very easy class, lets you turn in late work for full credit.
Professor Vito's style of teaching is amazing and his rapport with student's is awesome, this allows for a fun and successful learning environment. There's opportunities for extra credit and tests are based off lectures and readings and are straight forward.
Amazing professor, you can notice that he loves what he does!
Professor Vito has the best pacing during lectures! He also encourages social interaction within your class so that everyone feels accustomed and comfortable.
Lectures were not boring and even fun sometimes. Lots of group work in class and Professor has a lot of energy and is very nice. Has some cool stories sometimes too.
Homework is not hard. straightforward and very helpful with the assignments. He wants all his students to succeed. Amazing teacher also very understanding. He makes class fun and has wonderful helpful lectures that helps you learn. I took him for SOCOLOGY 101 in person and a different SOCOLOGY online.
This class was easy, and actually fun to learn in. All around he was a great professor and actually engages with his students and group conversations to get everyone's perspectives. He always made class fun and what he says will be on the test, is on the test so just pay attention to his lectures and you should be fine.
Amazing professor. He is super helpful to the class and always answers questions. I like that he is always open to taking everyone's opinions even if some disagree. Tests are super easy.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Vito is one of my favorite teachers at SWC. He cares a lot about his students and although his classes are lecture-based, he makes them interesting based on his own experiences. He has group work during class which helps get to know your classmates and overall shows that he cares about his job. Take this course!
Professor Vito is amazing, you can tell he really enjoys what he does. His course is very engaging and there's a lot of interactive work that's actually enjoyable. As long as you pay attention to lectures, this class will be a breeze. He also provides you with all the texts needed for the course so no need to purchase a textbook! Funny guy too!
By far Professor Vito has been one of the greatest Professors I have had. The work within his class was very manageable, as well as very interesting. A textbook was not needed, because most of the material was provided in the modules. If you have the chance to take any of his courses, do it he is great!
The best teacher at SWC!!
Professor Vito, gave extra credit, I did have the opportunity to meet him, he is also on campus and I was able to meet for a one-on-one. He is very knowledgeable about Sociology if that is a major you are considering. He is passionate about giving his students the ability to express themselves through poetry, art, YouTube videos memes, etc.
5 short Essays,12 module activities, 4 Reflections, 4 Easy quizzes, 4 live journals, 1 Final paper Essay style, Final exam essay, and Extra credit.If you are doing the exam online as soon as the professor opens up the class start right away. I completed the class way in advance of the deadline. Doing Spring intercession. One of the best at SWC.
BEST PROFESSOR2 EVER!! I did not get bored once in his classes, explained everything pretty well, homework was not hard at all, class was fun and engaging, I would 100% recommend it, I took SOC110 for my GE's and I want to take SOC101 bc he is that great!! If you have the opportunity, take his classes, you won't regret it.
Took Vito during the winter session. Very manageable workload, engaging presentations, and fun discussions! Very good at giving feedback, and does his best to create connections with students despite being asynchronous. Accepted late work until the end of the course, and gives one extra credit opportunity.
Amazing professor, love when professors take the time to read your work and reply! I would take this class again.
Such an amazing professor. Such an easy class. You have to participate a bit, there are activities you have to do with a group you choose starting the class. As for assignments, there's only reflections (really easy) and exams, then the final paper/project. He's funny, caring, and sweet. Also accommodating if you talk to him about your situation!
Professor Vito is such a great professor, I've never had a professor that was so caring and understanding. His course was very straight forward and attainable. He's a great person and professor and wants you to succeed, I got a 101% in the class, and school isn't so easy for me so just take that into consideration.
I recently completed my first semester of college and was apprehensive about taking online classes. Professor Vito was an exceptional teacher who provided every student with the opportunity to earn an A. The assignments were straightforward, and I found them to be manageable. I would definitely consider taking another class with him in the future.
You can tell that he genuinely loves teaching and wants people to learn about the world. He cares and respects every one of his students and it shows. Lots of group work. Lectures are relatable. You write like a total of 7 papers throughout the course. If you just show up to class and complete assignments you will pass.
Best sociology professor, he is very caring and knows a lot, very passionate about his studies and willing to share that passion with his students, take him you won't regret it!
Usually, classes that are described as easy strike me as a little boring, but Prof. Vito managed to make this class easy and accessible, while still being incredibly insightful and interesting. I learned so much! Also, I took the summer course and got sick, which I thought would set me back so much, but Prof. V was so understanding and helpful.
One of my top 5 favorite professors at this school! He is so awesome and caring. He makes this topic and class fun and interesting. Take his class! You wont regret it.
Chefs kiss. Take his class haha
Easy tests and lectures! Would take again if I could.
Honestly, easy A. He's very nice and understandable if you miss out on an assignment. Most of the assignments are very simple and to the point! exams consist of open note writing at least over 200 words per response (depending on how many questions). go take him!! :)
I am terrible at school, but this is impossible to fail. I took 2 of his courses, and I wish I could take more. I wish he could teach all my classes. Questions on exams are all in the lectures, he'll even emphasize on some that'll come up on the test. He's very funny and sweet, if you don't take his in person class you are definitely missing out.
Easy class, with a lot of group projects and discussions but not a lot of work at all. Most of the classes were discussions, I really recommend it it's very interesting.
He's a great professor. Very welcoming and helpful.
His lecture slides are incredibly informative and make you think a lot. He's also flexible with deadlines so if something comes up and you can't submit by a deadline just let him know and you can submit anytime after. Overall, he's a great professor who knows the field very well, it nearly convinced me to major in sociology.
It's very easy to get an A in this class, not because there is no homework, but because he will tell you exactly what you need to do to pass. If you don't pass this class, it's literally on you alone. He's a super lenient grader and has clear criteria for an A & accepts late work. He's very amenable and wants you to succeed; ask for what you need!
I took this class in the summer and it was the best decision. He is one of the best teachers and I really appreciate his understanding and flexibility with assignments. It's easy to get an A. He accepts late work! The best instructor.
He gives us a very easy and manageable workload, but there is a lot of group activities such as a group presentation. He also accepts late work in case you miss anything. Overall, he is one of the best professors I have had up-to-date. He is so nice and caring, I highly recommend that you take him if you want an easy A!
Professor V is an engaging lecturer who makes sociology come alive. His slides are super informative, and he's flexible with deadlines. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for exam prep - highly recommend taking this class!
Vito gives amazing lectures every day that motivate you to ask questions and learn more about sociology. You're graded based on group work, reflection papers, and exams, all of which have a clear and fair grading criteria. Simply put, you exit the classroom with a newfound understanding of the world. Awesome professor and human being.
super nice and chill
The best professor at southwestern, he's lecture are always fun and interesting, he exams are very simple and are based on everything you learn in class, he's extremely easy to talk to and offers help if needed, and his canvas is very organized which made it easy to access what you needed to know for each exam. 1000/10 recommend.
This class is super easy and he is a very lenient professor and allows you to turn in your homework late and still receive full credit. There is no way of not passing this class without an A unless you really not turning in assignments. This professor really cares about his students.
EXCELLENT teacher, loved the class, gives good amount of time to finish assignments, around 3 extra credit assignments throughout the semester, help out a lot and he has cool power point presentations, completely recommend!
I took him as an online class, and although I didn't meet him, he was an amazing professor. Homework was very easy; gives exams, but it is all writing. I wish I got to take him again; he gives good feedback on all assignments and is very understanding if anything happens. Take him, you won't regret it, you'll learn because he makes it interesting!
It is a really interesting class, and he makes it funny. Cool guy. You need to participate with your classmates in all classes, but it is not that hard. 5 exams, 1 essay final, or you can do other things related to the course. Easy assigments through the semester
I thought the class was really easy just notes (lets you know whats in the test) 1-2 pg reflection on the notes, and easy test. (lets you reschedule test)
Prof Vito is the best very understanding you will never think of dropping his class very accommodating and very organized. He makes sure that his students are good and BEST professor I had for GEs. I had to go through my right-hand therapy because of tendonitis and he was very understanding.
An absolutely amazing professor! I took Professor Vito for the Summer 2025 semester and I loved it. He is kind and accessible outside of class, and I love the way the course was ran. It is honestly so easy to pass with an A. He is such a great professor and if I had the chance to have him again, I would. Highly recommend!
Prof. Vito was amazing! A very genuine guy who truly cares about sociology. Only took it to fulfill my ged's but it ended up being one of the best and most interesting classes I've taken. He tells you exactly what's on the exams, NEVER overwhelming. Do the hw and pay attention to lecture and u def won't get below a B. Take his class!!!!
Taking Prof Vito's class was the best decision ever! His lectures were very interesting and humorous, just take notes to help you study for his exams. His homework/classwork were easy and fun, as long as you put enough time and effort to do them. He is also very funny and understanding. Overall, I definitely recommend to take his class!
Professor Vito cares about the success of his students. You can tell how passionate he is about the subject he teaches. The class isn't too hard but readings and assignments take time so make sure not to cram. He also has a few extra credit options. He really made the class interesting and fun.
