Really enjoyed this class this semester. Was my favorite calss at ggc thus far. Nice teacher, has power points and the work is easy.
Taking David was a good choice he's a great teacher, and he's very cool and nice. You should really take his class, I'm pretty sure you will pass.
He's a great professor! I definitely would take him for any of his other classes if I needed them for my major (even though he is currently part time). He makes class interesting and lectures are more like class discussons so the 50 minutes usually goes by fast and isn't boring. I would definitely recommend him!!!!!!
Dr Kirschner was the best class I have taken at ggc! He's passionate about sociology and every class is super interesting. Come to class and do all his assignments, you'll get an "A". The "student interest topics" were amazing. He lets you vote on whatever you want to learn about (literrally anything) and devotes a class to it. We did sex & tattoos
There are about 2 or 3 s you will have to do and quizzes online. Nothing ridiculous however,
Great professor. Talks about his experiences as a student a lot so he teaches you things outside of Sociology too. Would definitely take him again if I had to. His essays are straightforward and so are his projects. Make sure you attend (you wont regret it anyway) or else you might miss out on some projects.
One of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life. I actually looked forward to his class because the lectures were so involved and he's very good at getting through to anyone. Honestly, I thought Sociology was going to be my toughest class this semester, but he is the best GGC has to offer. Don't take anyone else you will enjoy every clas
There was no test only a final exam. The lectures are actually interesting and so are the special assignments.
Mr. Kirschner is one of the best teacher I had, the class interaction was great. He was always willing to go the extra mile as long as we understand the topic in question.
I was very hesitant on taking Mr. Kirschner for sociology simply because he didn't have a rating. He's actually a great professor. I think every professors at GGC should use his method of teaching. He's so involved with his students and you can tell he cares. I personally didn't like that there weren't any test bc I dnt know what to expect on the
I feel so comfortable in his class. He always wants to listen student. From his class i get chance to tell other students about my culture and traditions.
I really enjoyed the class. Students does not have to listen all the time, he loves to listen from students if a student wants share thoughts.
amazing professor
Kirschner is literally one of the best professors I've ever had! He is witty, passionate & incorporates so many different elements into his lectures that will get the whole class participating. Another thing is that he is super laid back; when he actually has is name tag on & dresses professionally he's probably getting evaluated. Love this guy!
David is THE man. He is so easy to work with and understands that students have other classes and activities outside of school. He makes sure we discuss topics of interest to students. His lectures never put me to sleep. Grade is based on just 5 quizes, 3 short papers (not a tough grader), 3 special assignment class discussions, and a final. EASY!!
One of the best professors I have ever had. Very clear and smart. He has a great sense of humor and really knows how to relate to his students. Would take him again in a heartbeat.
Hes great
Prof. Kirschner is an awesome teacher. I eally enjoyed is class.
Dr Kirschner is an excellent professor! He's able to relate with all his students and is very knowledgeable of the material. Very entertaining as well!
All the things discussed were more than interesting. During the semester we had two student interest topics that the class voted on (music and food). The quizzes seem pretty easy but he dropped our two lowest. He's also pretty funny and entertaining. If you also like video games you'll get along pretty with with him. There's also a sociology club.
Awesome professor, awesome class. Really enjoying his class so far! Definitely recommend you take him for intro to sociology! (Attendance is NOT required)
I loved Dr Kirschner's class. He's funny and engaging, and he's amazing at teaching. You can tell he's passionate about sociology, and I'm excited to take his Sociology in Media course next semester. He's mad chill, fam.
Professor Kirschner is very amazing. He's very understanding and his lectures are always interesting. Take his class and you will never regret it!!!
I loved the course, my professor was very clear on all instructions and very helpful throughout the course.
Great professor, gives multiple extra credit opportunities, great lectures, loves t allow students to engage. One of the very few professors I've had that attempts to have his students enthusiastic about learning,
really engaging, fun discussions
I was having trouble decided whether to choose between psychology and sociology. Taking this class definitely made me appreciate my decision even more.
He is such a nice teacher, nice sense of humor always keeps us laughing. He is easy to get along with and responds back to emails fairly fast. He is an easy A, as long as you pay attention in lectures, and participate in his activities, who wouldn't want to participate its a lot of fun. He gives about 6 easy quizzes online. Finally u take a exam.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!!!!!! he is the best teacher I have had. He loves when his students participate and he wants you to understand the content. His activities were really fun and the quizzes were easy. You must take him!!!!! He is a very cool and laid back professor and you can tell he actually likes his job.
Awesome teacher, everyone loves his class and always looks forward to going. He makes every lesson and activity fun and enjoyable, to the point where you're disappointed when you look at the clock and it's almost time to go.
Don't plan on taking him... because chances are you wont be able to get a spot in one of his classes. He's THAT good, and word is starting to get around. He is kind, helpful, and funny, SUPER smart (but never makes you feel dumb) and crazy passionate about sociology. Learned a lot and looked forward to every class. GGC is lucky to have him!
A great teacher, there really is no way you can not pass this class. There is like 3 test tops and they are easy because he gives you study guides. You learn in the class but also have fun. It's the best of both worlds and he is super nice and friendly so you won't hate coming to class.
Mr. Kirschner is a great teacher especially when it was his first time teaching the course. There are two group projects, a written or power point presentation final (You choose what you want) and Blog post that you must do and two quizzes done online over the reading done at your own time. Overall the course was easy. He is also understanding.
Dr. Kirschner is an awesome professor. He is very helpful and seems interested in the success of all his students. His class consists of a couple of quizzes a few short papers and one presentation plus mid-term and final.
Dr. Kirschner is such a sweet and caring teacher. He puts alot of work in to his powerpoints he makes activities to keep us interested and helps us learn. His midterm was challenging but its only 10% so its no big deal. Take him you will not regret it
He took time to make sure we understood everything
Dr. Kirschner is amazing. I was a die hard Psychology person, but he converted me. He ran his class in a way that we were able to have insightful conversations about difficult topics. He treated us like adults and we, in turn, acted like adults. I loved everything about his class, and can't wait to take more with him
This was my second time taking his class. The previous semester i took his 1001 basic class. He's very engaging, great instructor, encourages student input, also very funny. He gave us the option to have a mid term and final or One big paper/ presentation. Will extend deadlines for online work. Doesn't give busy work.
Best teacher ever. most take if you need a sociology teacher.
Dr. Kirschner is one of my favorite professors so far at GGC. I decided to take his class at the last minute and whew, I'm sure glad that I did. There are also a few extra readings you will have do that are kinda long but interesting. 2 test, a few quizzes, drops the 2 lowest quizzes. Take him, he's awesome!
This professor is a very practical & positive individual that provides constructive feedback and activities! Awesome, accommodating, and admirable-very respectful and overall great individual to be around.
I took Dr. Kirchner for two different sociology classes and he is an amazing professor. He really explains the material well and helps you critically think and engage in class. Let's you have discussions in and allow students to debate and deliberate different social issues. Would love to take another class with him!
Dr. Kirschner is a great person and it reflects in his teaching. He always connects class to real life. I took his class during the summer, but it wasn't bad at all. Not overwhelming, but a fair amount of work. Show up everyday and you will do well, he makes the material so easy to understand that his lectures are key.
Professor Kirschner is literally my favorite teacher ever. I took his class randomly because I needed the credit, and I am so glad I did. His class is really inspiring and opens up your mind to a lot of different views. He treats his students with respect, so he gets a lot of respect back. Interesting lectures and activities. 10/10
The best prof ive had since being at GGC. He truly cares about his students, is passionate about teaching, and applies the concepts to real life situations. I wish I would have taken this class during a longer semester so we could have gone more in depth. I would recommend him to anyone! He is also head of the Sociology club if you're interested!
He is a good professor, very easy class. Skipped a lot because he doesn't grade attendance but be sure to be there on days when he grades a lecture. No tests but a midterm,I failed only because all he does is read from PowerPoints and the questions on the midterm and final are complicated to understand. I do recommend him though, great prof !
Can not say enough good things about Dr. K. He is simply an amazing professor and person. He is always open to talk about class or just anything you want to talk about. I would take every class he taught
Professor Kirschner is an amazing teacher and speaker! His class is very interesting and he shares a lot of personal experiences versus boring lectures! Definitely worth your time in taking him and his classes.
HE DOPE!
Best teacher you'll have your semester with easy work and great lessons.
He is the best teacher at GGC!
He's a great teacher and i would recommend him to anybody. class was really easy and he made it interesting.
He was such an awesome professors. Some of his tests were hard, but if you pay attention when in class or browse your notes before a test, the class is easy enough. He always is willing to help you and wants you to succeed.
Just listen and read the articles online that he post and you'll learn more than what you expect.
He's a really great professor. I really loved this class, he keeps the class interested/ interesting. I'd recommend his class to anyone.
He is a great professor. It's an esay A, you just have to do a few assignments and two test during the course. He replays so fast to your emails and it's an interesting class as everyone can participate and say their opinions.
Dr. Kirschner is a really cool professor, who is available when you have questions. He is easy to get along with and makes class fun. I would highly recommend him to any student looking to have an interesting and knowledgeable learning experience.
I would highly recommend this professor. This was my last semester and I had a full load. He was willing to work with me and the class when we were overwhelmed. He truly cares about his students and the class.
Dr. Kirschner is an amazing teacher! We had a lot of interesting discussions in this class. We had 2 online quizzes, 2 student interest topic papers( like a paragraph long), and 2 other papers, play sociopoly( a modified version of monopoly, so fun!), a cultural event presentation(you have to go to 2 cultural events), midterm exam and final exam.
The class was really straight-forward. Attendance was optional. 2 small presentations. All books can be found online. You don't have to read the entire book, just read the chapter that assigned for your presentation. The teacher is good, positive, and care for his student.
He's a great professor and will work with you to achieve greatness.
he is a smart overall good teacher that knows what he is doing
The best professor that you could have. I would take him over and over again. Very passionate about the course he teaches, and he is just plain awesome. You can not go wrong with him ever.
Fun class. Laid back teacher. Really gets you thinking
He's the absolute best. Within the first week he knew everyone by name. he genuinely cares for us as people. More than once he attended out of class events to support a student(s). The class is very easy. lots of reading but I skimmed literally every chapter and was fine. Read enough to know what you're talking about then talk during discussions.
Dr. Kirschner is the best teacher I have ever had! He does lecture, but they are not boring. He posts all of his power points online, so you really don't need to buy the book. He gives extra credit opportunities (but you would have to buy the book). There are only a few assignments, so you don't have to stress about homework. Take him!
He is one of the best teachers at Georgia Gwinnett College. If I could take him for every class, I could. His wit is awesome and his lectures are amazing. You should defiantly take him. Attendance is only mandatory if you want an extra point on your overall grade.
Best professor at GGC hands down!!! I would take him again if I needed another sociology class. He will make you want to change your major... He's so nice and very understanding. No tests and very interesting class. TAKE HIM!!!!
I love Dr. K. He is so handsome and a blessing to look at. He speaks very well and makes learning fun and easy. He has inspired me to go to a buddhist temple for my cultural event, something I would never do! If I could I would take him all four years!!! You rock Dr. K!!! I will miss you...
This teacher is one of the best for sure if you fail is the class it's your fault for sure, his class is an easy A+++, I would take his class again if I had too. This is the teacher everyone needs to have.
Amazing professor! He is so inspirational, he will open up your mind. The lectures are long but he is so entertaining time goes by fast. He is always willing to help and always has a smile on his face. Awesome teacher. I will miss his class for sure
The assignments are moderately difficult and they are given to you when he is ready to give them. The major ones are on D2L ahead of time but a lot are not.
He is such an amazing teacher. He genuinely cares about his students & will try to strike up a conversation at all times. Assignments are straight forward. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AND GET AN A. The people who are writing negative reviews obviously didn't follow directions). He is extremely helpful and kind. TAKE HIM!!!!!
This professor thought me a lot especially how important even the smallest function in society is very important in the balance .
Dr. Kirschner is an amazing professor! I had a 98 the entire semester! All you have to do is pay attention and turn in assignments on time. If you need help, he is willing to help you understand. Lectures are amazing and he makes the class so interesting and really easy. Two essays, a few small assignments, two quizzes and a easy final.
Dr. Kirschner is a great professor! His class is interesting and straight forward. To get an A, go to class and do all of the assignments.
Dr. K is young, very nice, and respectful. I took his class summer 17, and he made the class so easy. He allowed me to make up assignments, and he understood it was summer, so he made the class lots of fun. I enjoyed all his assignments, one of which was a cultural event. I highly recommend his class to anyone taking Soc1101 at GGC.
Professor Kirschner is overall an amazing professor. He gives great lectures and makes the class fun. He finds different ways to teach the class and one of my favorite ways is the sociopoly game he had us play. He is a well respected professor.
Great professor! I took him for a 6:30-9 class he does lectures but there are entertaining. He also gets the whole class involved with games and lesson openers. You should take him! Long as you turn everything in and follow the grading criteria you will make a 100%!!!! Its that easy. Realllly EASY A! Just go to class and do the homework. No test!
BEST professor. 100% recommend taking this class. I took a night class and actually looked forward to going every week. Easy A as long as you turn everything in and pay attention in class!
Great professor! Keeps class interesting.
Dr, Kirschner is creative and vibrant in his teaching style. He has this quaint way of teaching that is absolutely out side of the normal teaching paradigm, He is an amazing professor. With this kind of talent, GGC is in good shape in regards to its faculty.
He is the best teacher. He says attendance is not "mandatory", but obviously, you should attend. Very understanding if you tell him you wont be going to class & its not difficult to make a very good grade in his class. Hes very kind & really cares about his students. Literally the best. Final can be done with a partner & use of a flashcard!
Super awesome teacher! Textbook is needed for reference. Straight forward directions for projects. Very open minded and not monotone at all. Laughing is guaranteed in every class. You'll have to read the specific passages in order to pass the quizzes but they are not hard at all. If you ask for help or feedback he is really good with that. 10/10 :)
Honestly a good lad, he seems like a friend in a way? Doesnt fee like a professor. But I highly recommend him honestly. Easy class.
Dr. Kirschner is a very good-natured professor and person. He genuinely likes to teach his students Sociology and he is enthusiastic about it. He is very amiable. The assignments he gave were enjoyable and different from a normal professor. I really wish he taught other subjects, that way I can take his class again. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.
Taking sociology with Dr. K has pretty much changed my life. Before the class I didn't even know what sociology was.. Dr. K made me fall in love with it. He is so inspirational and such a great professor. His lectures really open your eyes and allow you to step out of your comfort zone in class discussions. Do yourself a favor and take his course!!
Great professor! His lectures are interesting and he adds in activities that make the class very interactive. Take this professor for intro to sociology! You won't regret it!
Definitely take him if you can. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it is part of your overall grade. You only need the book for one assignment, which you have a choice between, so it isn't technically necessary. Lectures are interesting, and Kirschner is very helpful with any questions and replies to emails quickly. Overall really easy class.
Dr. Kirschner is a professor that really cares about his students! I would say his class is not difficult and there is no way you could fail unless you do not attend class or do the assignments that are given, which are not difficult at all. The class was a breeze and honestly an easy A ! There was only one exam and that was the final
Love Prof Krischner, He is the best! Take him!
He is a cool guy. Very funny and down to earth. He is helpful and will email you back ASAP. He is super easy to talk to and will help in anyway possible. He is ppt heavy lecture and write actual notes on the notes on the ppt. He sends out emails one anything thats not on the syllabus. Over all good and helpful prof.
He is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students and what he teaches. Very chilled. Wish my other professors were like him.
Makes the material so simple. Very interactive, and all of my fun discussions were in his class. Hes awesome
Great Professor and class. Knows how to explain subjects while keeping class engaged, also very interactive.
AMAZING. had him for night class and even though it was 2 1/2 hours long I did not dread it. Very interesting/ engaging topics. no tests. do your work and youll pass.
First semester of freshman year was great, and he is one of the reasons why! Such a kind person, and really has a passion for teaching. Very laid back and is so nice, you almost feel guilty for not working as hard as you can lol! Loved this class, and if I need to take another socio. class in the future, I will definitely choose him again!
Our 'lens' for his class was gaming, and as such our readings, assignments, and projects fell into that category. His lectures are a legitimate treat, and he not only knows his material well, he also knows how to tie it into gaming. The class was enjoyable throughout the entire semester, and never felt overbearing on my schedule. Highly recommend.
An awesome teacher that shows that he's very passionate about his work and helping his students succeed. He makes coming to class fun, gives great feedback on all assignments,and makes sure that everyone has a good understanding about what were learning. You won't regret taking his class!
Dr. Kirschner is a really nice and funny professor. He is engaging and actually listens to whats going on with his students. His writing assignments are really based on your thoughts and opinions, so they arent very hard and there usually isnt a wrong answer. His class good chance to learn how society runs & get new perspective.
Textbook is definitely helpful for this class!!! The content was interesting, the work was simple and very straightforward. He is very cool and highly recommend taking this class!!
This course (Death, Grief, & Dying) was very challenging in terms of subject matter/personal reflections and having a kind, thoughtful guide/safe space was essential. The feedback was validating and thought-provoking. We were more like disciples self-exploring life and death topics from a caring guru, than students taking a boring college course.
I actually really enjoyed Dr. Kirschner. He's really nice and gives you really good feedback on your assignments. My advice is to utilize the feedback he gives you on your assignments and you should see improvements in your writing. He's easy to contact and has no problem setting up meetings. THIS CLASS REQUIRES EFFORT. Would def take again!
Taken multiple classes w/him. He is a great professor/overall human. Reading is not too heavy, quizzes are not too bad. Group projects. Get ready to write. He is available to help with class papers and projects, and will proofread things before you turn in. Kind and understanding professor. He WILL help you succeed as long as you put in the effort.
I really had to work for my A, but I'm so proud of how well I did in this class and I learned a lot. He is truly passionate about what he teaches and he wants his students to succeed. He gives the most thorough feedback I've ever received on a paper. I really think I grew as a writer in this class.
This class is super helpful. If you put in the effort, you'll be fine. Dr. K helps as much as possible and wants you to do well!
Professor Kirschner is an amazing teacher! He is an excellent lecturer and he genuinely cares about his students. The workload is fair as it keeps up with the objectives of the course. It was enjoyable and inspiring to attend each of his classes.
It is hard to leave a rating for such a great and well-liked professor, so I put off leaving a rating for half a year. I loved taking his soci1101 class and whenever I meet people who still need a social science credit I always recommend they take his class. You'd have a hard time finding an easier more engaging class with an amazing professor.
This teacher cares so much. You can tell by how he responds and engages with your work. I just started college and I have a different teacher who is horrible so the contrast in his teaching compared to my other teacher is insane. You must appreciate this man when you have him because it's rare for a teacher to care. I am glad to have had him.
One of the best professors ever! Very enthusiastic, funny, and helpful. He is very open to different conversations and points of view. Very respectful, and energetic. 100000% recommend!
Honestly the best. One class with him and you can easily see why he's been given a 5/5. He'll answer any and all questions, no matter if it's already been asked or answered. He wants people to be engaged. Put in the time and effort, and it'll be worth it. I'd take him for everything if I could
I had a great experience taking this course; he is a fun professor! The workload is manageable. There are weekly quizzes, three assignments throughout, and no tests or midterm, just a final exam. Honestly, you would be missing out if you didn't take his course for sociology.
Genuinely the best sociology professor there is! He brought a lot of life to an 8am class with his humor. He is very open-minded and he attentively listens to your concerns and opinions. There are weekly quizzes for a chapter of the book, plus an essay, but they're really intersting and easy. He is the coolest professor out there! Take him!!!
This was the best class I could have ever taken! this was very enjoyable, the professor makes the class entertaining and he always knows how to put a smile on students faces he genuinely enjoys what he teaches and enjoys his students he has a passion! there are very little assignments and they are very simple and easy TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Literally the best professor in the world. He cares about his students and their success here in GGC. He is very understanding and communicative. Quizzes once a week but they were not hard at all. Ended the class with a 95 so it was pretty easy. I've learned a lot in this and I can definitely use this knowledge for my future. Great Professor!
The professor is super engaging and makes the material easy to understand. The workload is manageable, and Unstuck ai was a big help for study prep along with the free textbook.
Take his class if you can! My classmates and him were a great combo, it made for good lectures and lessons. He was so fun, and understanding to anything. Share your personal stories if you'd like if it relates to the topic, it makes for amazing class discussion!
hes the goat easy class and engaging teaching much love for him
So kind! Wish him the best if he leaves GGC!!
Dr. Kirschner is a great sociology professor! He truly makes you interested in the subject and as long as you do you part you'll get an A.
