He gives somewhat fun lectures and likes to try to get the class involved but you don't have to participate if you don't want to. There is one easy homework assignment per week, two midterms, and a final. All of which are somewhat easy if you study. There is also a 4-5 page paper due at the end of the quarter but its not a difficult one to write.

Lectures were delivered by PowerPoint and little else was elaborated on, which ultimately made the material a mess. He relied on class discussions to carry the class, though they were rarely productive. Grading made no sense, and seemed to rely on arbitrary metrics, where high scores were avoided for the sake of being high scores. Nice guy, though.

His tests are all essay questions, 10 problems all together. He gives you a study guide, gives you the exact answer to the study guide, then he narrows down the problems you have to study; out of the 15 he chose 10 of the EXACT problems will be on the exam.

He told us which 10 questions will be on the test, so all you need to do is memorize those answers (that he tells you the answers). Put in a little effort and you'll do fine.

I had to take this class online due to covid and I'm having to spend countless hours doing homework from this professor. If you have kids, work full-time, even part-time, have a life, don't take this class. This one class is at least 25 hours of your time. The quizzes every Sunday are ridiculous, open ended, guessing games. Impossible to get an A.

The thing i hate most about daniel suh is that he limits his replies to your emails to a maximum of 6 words, pretty much everything else about him is cool

This online class requires A LOT of self teaching. 500 wrd summary each week on 20+ pgs., watch hour+ documentary, and complete a 500 word discussion with 200 wrd replies to 2 other students. No lectures, just you and the text. The textbook leans left.

Daniel Suh was the best professor Ive ever had. I love his teaching ability relating sociology to the whole classes real life experiences. Normally I hate going to class but I was excited on days that I had sociology. Lots of note taking from powerpoints, 3 big test he will give you the questions prior to test day, answers are in your notes.

I took Dr. Suh's class online due to COVID. I like him as a person but if anyone should understand how difficult this transition has been, it should be a sociology professor. We had so much work to do weekly that instead of actually focusing on the point of the lesson I was just focused on making deadlines. He has completely ruined sociology for me

I have taken an in-person class with Professor Daniel before and LOVED it, however, his online class was not as enjoyable. The class got very repetitive because we would do the same assignments each week but they would relate to the chapter we were focusing on. If you can, take an in-person class with Daniel. He is by far one of my favorites. :)

Wasn't specific in his expectations. Asked what he wanted/ was looking for via message on canvas and he never replied. Discussion posts were frustratingly difficult and never seemed to please, despite my efforts. Class was all online, but I feel I would have been better in person? But who's to say? Swing and miss on my part.

He is an okay professor. He has this dumb theory of purposely not giving A's to students. Maybe because he is afraid that a student might know more than him. Either way, I wish the school would look in to this as it hurts our GPA. The readings are a little outdated and he doesn't seem to have an actual grasp on the subject.

I, like a few other ppl in my class, EASILY got 4.0s in Daniels class lol. His questions are straight from the textbook, and he only jokes about not giving students 100s. He was super instructive, def covering the main points. I love his lectures, we all just end up talking to each other! So fun, and he responds to ppls emails in like 5 mins lol.

This is not an easy class. Get ready to work a lot and spend several hours doing assignments. However, he values hard work and rewards it. Excellent Professor, I think he found the best way to make an online class work.

Weekly work: 500 word summary of article, 500 word discussion post with citations, 2 200 word responses, 10 question quiz. It is a lot of reading and writing so you will need to set time aside for this class. You need to read a full chapter every week and watch documentary plus read 10 page articles. Easier grader but you have to follow the guides.

Wasnt sure at first, but Professor Suh is just pretty chill with everyone/grading & works for students. Flexible with deadlines because of my work schedule, it helps, took this class +2 others working full-time. Discussion posts like one page, responses shorter than texts, & people actually had conversations cause the readings/videos were engaging.

Daniel is a great professor and his course is super easy. As long as you do the weekly work and do the reading you'll be fine and pass easily. He is the best professor I've had at Pierce and definitely one of my favorites. He is also willing to help you outside of class! I'll be taking his classes in the future as well.

I really enjoyed this class. There is a LOT of reading. And quizzes do have questions on them that are not "obvious" things to jot down or highlight in the text, so you have to pay attention. Exams were short essay questions, and not too difficult. The requirements for discussions/replies are just *slightly* excessive, but not impossible.

Predictable when homework is due. The canvas setup isn't the best--there are lots of links that lead to different tabs, and you have to reference the rubric that is stated in the first week for the reading summary and discussion board. It becomes routine, though.
