He is a very good professor, he will really make you think about not only the coursework, but about yourself and your own life. The only thing is, you must attend class and be on time/stay. He also really values participation so if you can't do those things then you may want to find a different professor.

He is one of those professors you will get once in a lifetime. He is the kind that you will love or hate, and throughout the semester wasn't very fond of him however later I realized I was mistaken. He really cares about his students and if you make an effort, he'll make ten. He allows you to petition off the midterm and goes easy on grading papers

Will give you hell for sleeping and cellphone use. Class is more of a discussion of recent topics than a textbook oriented lecture. Don't bother getting the book unless you want to teach yourself the material. 65% of lecture is about his past. However, he is incredible to have a conversation with. Full of information and experience!

Doesn't teach the text, but leaves it to YOU to determine your level of education. He gives you the keys and expects YOU to drive. He has become a close friend and is ALWAYS accessible.

An inspiration! He truly cares about his students and their future. Though most of the lectures are about his experiences, he will motivate you daily to be your best self. Easy A! I highly recommend him. I got choked up saying goodbye to him the last day. Thank you Driggers!

First impression of this man can be condescending. He is an inspiration! He is greatly passionate about his students and their future. Most of the lectures are about his experiences, but he will motivate you daily to become your best self. Easy A! I highly recommend him. I had to hold back tears saying goodbye on the last day. Thank you Dr. D!

Dr. Driggers talks about himself and his experiences the majority of the class. If you ask him a question about his cases hell say its to heavy for you well its college its suppose to be heavy. I was really disappointed in the class I learned nothing but now I can say I can write his biography cause all he does is say I and me and other useless BS

I was so excited to take this class but all I learned was that Dr. Driggers should rename the class the life of Dr. Driggers. Every class all he talks about is himself and how his opinion is the only one that matters and that he can make everyone do what he wants them to do. He thinks of himself as God

He is VERY opinionated and I have personally challenged it and he was still respectful and willing it hear me out. Make an effort to connect and participate. He talks about his life experiences most of the time but they are all genuinely interesting&tie in with the class topics. Don't text&don't be late. Easy A if you go to class and do his paper.

I had Driggers many years ago - almost 10 - and he is still one of the most impactful educators I've come across in the years since I took his class. He was passionate and knowledgeable and I found his work and methods engaging and novel.

Gives real world advice! Open note exams. He weeds out people who do not want to be in his class in the first 2 meetings. Stick it out and you're in for a treat. Write down the grade u feel u deserve. One paper due not hard - standard MLA. Majoring in sociology? - prob not for you. Caveat: Self-practice is a must to be good at anything.

Forces us to listen to his 2 1/2 hour long lectures about his life and begs for feedback unless it contradicts his beliefs. Very close-minded person. I took sociology in high school and loved it then I paid $200+ to sit in this class only allowed to listen to him and remain quiet. Every class I felt was an actual waste of time.

He cares for his students. He introduces sociology by talking about his life experiences. DO NOT LOOK, TOUCH, or have ANYTHING to do with your cell phone!!! DO NOT do other work in his class. All in was great experience except all it takes is one student to act up for him to take away "take home final and notes for final". Don't need textbook

Very excited about sociology and needs you to be on his level for your class to run smoothly. No Phones or you'll be chewed out. No outside work or its even worse. Every class missed is a 5 point deduction from your final grade (WOW). You really have to give him your all because he gives you his. Good Professor, but a little much for most students.

He's a really great professor. He comes off as a bit rough around the edges, and he does talk quite a lot about his life and his line of work, but a lot of it is interesting. He really cares about his students, and works with them if they have trouble. There was one essay and one final that he let the class use their notes. Only thing is no phones.

Participate, show up to class, don't be late, don't bring your phone out... and you'll get an A. He's dark/deep at times- for you all who like intellectual conversations, this is the class for you. One paper and one final- open book. My favorite teacher at HCC! Show your interested and he will do his best to help you in class and also in life.

Wouldn't take again

Ohhh - what can I say about Driggers... How he still teaches and works in criminal justice is beyond me. At least he is no longer teaching high school age students. I will say - easy A - especially if you are female and under the age of 18. He will certainly will teach you a few unwanted and unforgettable lessons in life. If you know, you know.
