Seems like a nice guy, east class, but I wanted to learn about Sociology. If you chose to volunteer, then he eliminates most class assignments. Didn't use textbook much. Honestly, I had high hopes for this class, but didn't learn anything. Class time felt like I was watching a play. He gave extra credit if you could guess the next song on his ipod.

He is very knowledgeable, intelligent, approachable, respectful, and inclusive. If you're interested in getting into soc or doing research projects/papers he's a great resource. Lectures/discussions were very interesting. He is very fun but I also learned a lot. 10/10 for making me feel accepted as a queer/disabled student. 10/10 in general.

Take Dan Poole!!! He has given me the most stress free experience out of all classes I have taken. It was super easy online and I feel like I was able to learn a lot. You know exactly what is asked of you and homework is graded upon completion a online taken at home tests are the same terms as on the homework questions. Easy end of semester project

Dan Poole is an engaging professor who helps you learn the material. If you pay attention in class, and do the reading you should pass the tests. He is a kind person, and he leads good discussions. You can ask questions. I learned so much about sociology in this class. If you need the credit or just a manageable elective, you should take this class

Dan is an awesome professor, this class is arguably the easiest class I have taken here at SLCC. Put in the effort to do the assignments and you will get an easy A.

I hated the formatting of his weekly quizzes. You are expected find exact percentages and answers from a textbook like "how many people got divorced in July", "How many single people owned at least 3 cats". The tests were extremely useless in terms of actually learning any of the material instead you spend time tediously looking for answers.

If you need a credit for social science, I definitely would recommend taking Professor Pooles class!!! By far the easiest A and he has clear expectations for you and the class. He is super cool with feedback and grading. Super understanding and knowledgeable. 100000/10

Dr. Poole is arguably the best Sociology Prof at SLCC. I took the four-week online class, and honestly, it was intense; however, once I found my zone, the assignments went by one by one. I learned a lot by taking PSY 1010 first. This class just added way more insight to my understanding of human behavior. He deserves a raise and promotion! 10/10

AMAZING class! Professor Poole was awesome! He was very kind and gave great feedback on assignments. I took the accelerated class so I was expecting it to be a handful but it ended up being pretty easy. The coursework was super straightforward and Professor Poole made this class really interesting. 10/10 recommend this class!

This was a community engaged learning course- not a lot of typical hw, instead did some volunteer hours. Dan was really engaging, chill, funny, smart. Assignments were creative and straightforward. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Cares about students and is flexible with different learning styles. Class was very impactful, he's a cool teacher!

This class was phenomenal! Dan Poole's online class was straightforward and so engaging. He gave great feedback. The breadth of information I learned was eye-opening and valuable. I especially appreciated the podcast and documentaries we used for some of our discussions. I would take any class from him again, 100%!

1 Chapter reading a week with a quiz and a discussion. Discussions were easy and often interesting. The midterm was easy and fun, and the Final was light work. The signature assignment was really fun and made me get out of my shell and start volunteering. Feedback was just to keep up the good work, which I expected because the course is easy.
