Awesome, best sociology professor in UTRGV!!!
Dr. Kyne's grading system is crystal clear. He does take attendance, so just show up. Throughout the semester you only have 1 Individual Assignment and 1 group assignment. Also, there are 3 Exams and his Review is EXACTLY like the exam. Easy A.
Dr. Kyne provided lectures to watch with 8 questions following that were pretty easy. 1 individual assignment, 2 exams. His class is not tough at all, he teaches what he's supposed to and does not make it unnecessarily hard. He's a very kind person as well. Highly recommended for SOCI 1301.
Dr. Kyne is an awesome professor! This class is an Easy A, but you do have to make sure to keep track that all your assignments are done on time. I would definitely take him again! He usually takes a day to respond to your emails, so it's best to do your work on time. Definitely take Dr. Kyne for Sociology 1301, you won't regret it!
Doctor Kyne is extremely knowledgable when he lectures. You have to take the lecture through video and then your quiz shows up right after (about 15 videos & Quizzes). Then 2 tests, and 1 individual assignment. Pretty good course to take if you want something in the summer. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Dean Kyne is an awesome professor. He provides notes and lectures for you to review. Although he is strict with the due dates, he gives ample time to complete the assignments. I highly recommend taking his class.
Dr. Dean Kyne is an excellent teacher. I took his class online during summer and I loved how he made his lectures into videos. After every lecture there are 8 questions for you to answer. There are only 2 exams and 1 individual assignment which isn't hard. Just pay attention to the lectures and for sure you'll get an A.
I took Dr. Dean Kyne's class online during the Summer II semester and I really enjoyed the course. It was very interesting, he prepares lecture videos, and notes that will be used for the quizzes & exams.
Super chill professor and makes videos easier to understand and follow. It is nearly impossible to fail and his quizzes and assignments are straight forward. 10/10 would take his class again!
He is extremely nice and wants you to succeed in the class. He makes the assignments and tests as easy as possible in order for you to get the A. The review is the exact same as the tests. I definitely recommend him. 2 tests, 1 individual assignment, 1 group assignment and offers extra credit.
YALL, TAKE HIM. SOOOO EASY AND HES SO NICE. LITERALLY AN ANGEL
If you need to take Intro to Sociology, don't waste your time with anyone else. Take Dr. Kyne. I took this class online. This was the easiest A I have ever gotten. His exams are the same exact questions he uses from the quizzes after his lecture videos. The quizzes could also be taken more than once. Remember those questions for the exams.
Dr. Kyne is an extraordinary professor! His class is extremely easy and there is not much to it. He definitely wants to set his students up for success. Loved being in his class 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Easy A. Gives a lot of time to do the assignments. Recommend to take for a boost in GPA.
Dr. Kyne is an excellent instructor. He communicates very clearly upfront what you need to do to get an "A" in his class. Read the chapters, watch the lectures, and study the quizzes. He is very good about responding to emails quickly. Would highly recommend taking any course he has.

He does videos which are great (so make sure you have good internet connection cause he wont help you). He goes over his powerpoints which helps alot. It is like you are actually in class with him.
Dr. Kyne is an amazing professor. He does lecture videos to teach the material. He also assigns quizzes for each lecture, and 2 tests but he gives plenty of time for you to organize and do it at your own pace. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Kyne is awesome. He gives clear lectures that cover the quizzes along with powerpoint. He is very responsive to emails! If you keep up with the weekly lectures and quizzes, the 2 exams, and the individual assignment then you should be perfectly fine getting an A.
Long as you keep up with your assignments and take the quizzes on time the class is a easy A

Best professor ever! Easy A! 100% would recommend.
Dr. Kyne is an excellent choice for this course! He is very clear and concise in his lectures. He not only has a passion for the subject but he is a very Kyne (Kind) professor. He gives multiple attempts on the assignments and extra credit! I really enjoyed his course and all I have learned on the subject matter.
I took this as an online class but even so the professor provided video lectures that were very helpful in understanding the material and preparing for tests.
easy online quizzes and recorded lectures. Completely at your own pace, so keep up with the reading
His work is done at your own pace which was really convenient; however, beware of deadlines. The content he taught was very easy, so overall just do the very little work you have to do and you'll pass.
Your class is at its pace he gives you enough time to compete your assignments online. If you study his quizzes and review powerpoint, Easy A.
Great professor and a really interesting class
Dr. Kyne is such a great professor!! His class is one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. I would definitely take this class again. Nothing hard on this course, there's only 2 tests, fun video lectures followed by 8 question quizzes, don't worry they are super easy, & an individual assignment that's also easy to do. Definitely would recommend!
This professor was very clear on what we had to do. He also provided all the resources. If you take the online class, he posts short (15-20mins) video lectures . After you watch the video you can take the quiz. Also, don't use chrome to watch the lectures because it buffers and closes down (fire fox and Microsoft edge work better).
The class is very convenient because it is self-paced, the professor provided lecture videos and power points that were of great help. He gives multiple attempts on the quizzes and even offers extra credit points. Dr. Kyne is very clear on what is expected to pass so you cannot go wrong with choosing him, I strongly recommend!
Easy class just make sure you can do everything on time.
Great professor. Super nice and helpful.
Great professor! 10/10 would recommend.

At the end of every video there's a quiz, 8pts each, 120 total. Individual Assignment is(from the book)30pts, there's 2 exams that equal to 120pts. TAKE DR. KYNE HE'S GREAT!!!
LOVED THIS CLASS. ONLINE & DURING SUMMER. 3 Lectures per week with a quiz (8 questions) each, for 5 weeks. There's 2 Test that 120 pts Lectures60pts, Quizzes120pts, Individual Assignment30. It's self-paced, multiple attempts for quizzes, extra credit, no late work, he's reasonable tho. watch the videos all the way it's a grade. TAKE THIS CLASS
I highly recommend this course. Professor Kyne is always available when needed, and his lessons are educational. His layout is straight forward, 3 lectures per week with a quiz per chapter, 2 exams, and an individual assignment. He is truly passionate about his lessons, which makes them interesting. If this class is needed you should enroll now!
Dr. Kyne as designed a very clear and concise Introduction to Sociology course. I highly recommend any self-motivated learners to take his online course.
He is very helpful and his lectures are easy to follow. If you apply yourself you'll get an A.
Great professor! 10/10 would recommend. Easy A if you do all your work correctly!
It was overall an easy class to master if one is open to acknowledge that it is important to read and watch the lectures. Having an open mind is essentially important.
Great professor, be ready to read the book and listen to helpful video lectures. Course is dependent on video lectures but book is still definitely needed. Professor responds promptly to any questions you have and will help as much as possible.
I took his class online, super easy A!!!
Super easy class
I took this class in the summer and it was very easy. The professor is clear on what he expects from the students and provides you with lecture videos (the longest was only 22 min). The videos are more than enough to ace the quizzes and two exams so the textbook isn't really necessary.
Online summer course. 2 exams and online lectures with quizzes at the end. Professor replies back best through email. Pretty easy if you study and turn in all the assignments on time
I took Dr. Kyne for SOCI 1301 online during the summer and it was by far the easiest course I've ever taken. All you had to do was watch lecture videos and answers 8 questions at the end of the videos. The tests have all the same questions from the quiz. He does take some time to respond to emails but he is real great at clarifying instructions!
Professor was incredibly clear on the outline for the course; however, there were some unnecessary issues that occurred in the duration of the course.
As long you do your work on time and pay attention to the lecture videos you should be able to pass the class with ease.
Lectures are okay to watch. If you keep up with the assignments, you should do pretty well in the class. Not that hard.
Awesome professor. Easy class. 15 lecture videos and 15 quizzes (8 questions each). 1 Case Study assignment (very easy). 2 exams. Would def. take him again.
Dr. Kyne is an outstanding professor and I recommend that you take him for Intro to Sociology. His online class was really fun, we had 3 lectures and quizzes every week, just pay attention to his lectures and you will pass with an A. His exams are composed of the weekly quizzes so if you study you will be fine. Use Google Chrome for the lectures.
online is super easy. quizlet is a free A
The class was a breeze. definitely would take professor Kyne again!
Awesome class! Well structured course.
Amazing professor who is caring and willing to talk and work with students. The thing is he is specific on how he wants things if you follow the outline that he gives there will be 0 problems and you will have a great time taking his course!
Dr. Kyne is a very understanding professor. I took him online during summer and it is a very easy class if you do your work and listen to lectures. Everything you need is given to you.
Dr. Kyne is a great professor to take online for sociology. He teaches well and doesn't stress you out. As long as you are responsible you will be fine. Sometimes the online program messes up and emails take a bit to get responded to. Make sure you fix your computer problems and address concerns with time for maximum success.
His online class was great! He posts 3 online lecture videos along with a quiz for each video, but they are not bad at all. Great online class to take.
Took this class for Summer 1 and enjoyed the way the course was structured. One of the easiest classes I've taken by far. Was never confused about what I had to do. Lecture Videos were very informative and the quizzes right after were easy. I totally recommend taking this class with Dr. Kyne.
Took this class for Summer 1 and it was a great course. One of the easiest classes I've taken and his videos were very clear and to the point. Totally recommend him!
Great professor. Understandable lectures. Short quizzes. Extra Credit. I loved this course.
He is a really good sociology professor. His lectures are present since the beginning of the semester online in order for you to complete the course at your own time without worries of attending class. It is super easy to get an A as long as you do the work, which is not a lot! The textbook is needed but not really required to complete the course.

Very good professor. He is clear on the work we have to do. Only 2 exams and lecture videos
this professor is really easy you just need to get things done on time he also gives extra credit if needed.
I would recommend taking Dr. Kyne. His lectures are easy to follow ,and everything that is included in the quizzes can be found in the videos posted. For some of the assignments posted in the summer, you can work at your own pace, but Dr. Kyne advices you to be responsible in the very beginning of the semester. Dr. Kyne also offers extra credit.
Great professor, he always makes time to be up to date on his announcements, and he replies quickly if you have any questions.
Great professor, would take again.
Extra credit opportunities and he also provides the power point lectures.
Pretty easy, As long as you do the work, you'll get an A.
I took professor Kyne for an online sociology course. He provides you with virtual lectures that are easy to follow and a quiz after each lecture. You do not require the textbook to pass his class. All you have to do is keep up with his assignments and you will pass. Easy A.
all lectures are online and after every lecture you take a very easy 8 question T/F quiz. and the exams are the same as quizzes.
Dr. Kyne it is a very good Professor, I took him for an online sociology course, and he is very clear with the work. You have a quiz for each lecture, and two exams, but if you do well on the quizzes the exam will be easy for you.
This class isn't hard. As long as you do the work, you can get a good grade. Make sure to pay attention to the video lectures because there is a short quiz at the end of each lecture.

Dean Kyne class was pretty easy, there was quite a bit of assignments but i did take it during the summer. The only issue i has was finding a browser to work with the assignments. Overall though it was an easy class. Would take him again anytime.
Super easy as long as you do the work he's telling you. Best part is that you can re-take all the quizzes until you receive 100. Really helps you out, just do the work.
Just listen to the online lectures and do the quizzes at the end.
Easy class with manageable work throughout. Quizzes are simple and videos were great!
Took this as an online class and it was amazing. He gives enough time to complete lectures, assignments, and exams. He allows you to re-take the quizzes to get a better grade. He also has opportunities for extra credit.

Dr. Kyne is an amazing professor. His online class is easy, the work consists of having to watch the lecture videos take the quizzes after, there is an individual assignment but shouldn't be too hard.

Lectures were very easy to understand and the quizzes afterwards were very simple. Overall, easy class
Dr. Kyne was such a good professor. Quizzes were easy and lectures were easy to understand. Awesome class.
The lectures are super interesting and the quizzes following each lecture are easy if you paid close attention. Recommend taking this course with Professor Dean Kyle for an Easy A.
This class is really easy and I would most definitely recommend it to everyone. All of the instructions are very clear and the professor does a good job at responding to emails as soon as possible if you have any questions. Everything should go smoothly if you just stay on track and do the assignments.
Easy Class
Great class! It was not difficult at all. Do the work and you the grade! Plus he gives extra credit in the beginning and the end of the semester. Wayyy better than my last professor, I failed her class! Passed this one with an A.
Lectures are interesting and quizzes are simple, Easy A. Professor does a great job responding through email.
I recommend this professor to anyone with an interest in learning more about the social world in which we live. His lectures are clear, as are his quizzes and exams. I found this to be a fascinating and enjoyable class!
Dr. Kyne is an awesome professor, he explains clearly in his syllabus what you're going to be doing in his class for the semester. As long as you do all the quizzes you'll do fine in the tests. Awesome class, awesome professor!
This course is extremely easy, there were some problems with quizzes being graded late but other than that easy A.
Best professor. Easy A
Dr. Kyne was a great professor. He was very clear and direct on what it is we need to do. Very accessible through email. He provides video lectures where we have to do a quiz afterwards. His class was three tests and a individual assignment. Great summer course!
Awesome professor, was really clear on what he expected on assignments. Opened up lecture videos in advance so that you can get the assignments done as early as you want. Would definitely recommend.
This professor is great!!!! He gives lots of lecture but they are easy to follow to, make sure to pay attention to complete the quizzes afterwards. I recommend taking this class!
Took him during summer 2 and class wasn't too difficult. You do have to know how to manage your time wisely though.
Very good professor. Would recommend.
He's a really nice professor. The grading policy is very clear! I took this class for Summer II. Quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures in his class.

Overall great class! I would recommend to anyone who has a busy schedule, everything is done on your own time. The quizzes are based on the videos.
complete assignments by given time

Professor Dean Kyne was a great professor for this online class. Would take again. Do not hesitate to take his class!
Great Professor. Lessons were really informative.
This class has been super duper easy but yet i still learned. Just watch the videos and you'll be fine.
I took this course for Summer II. Great class and great professor. Class was not difficult and easy to understand so I would definitely take again. The grading criteria is also simple and easy to follow. He gives you more than enough time to take the quizzes and assignment.
The easiest class I've ever taken. recommend
Dr. Kyne is organized and like for his students to learn.
There are videos posted every week(which you get credit for watching) along with quizzes(several attempts). The videos are no longer than 30 minutes and are not complicated. Overall this class is easy, but the videos are a bit boring so its hard to commit. As long as you watch the videos and do the quizzes by the due date you'll pass. Easy A.
quizzes are easy and it does not use lock down browser, you can find all answers online. you do one individual assignment but its only 3 questions. he gives 10 points of extra credit, but overall class is very easy if you do everything on time.
Really enjoyed this class, learned a lot!
really organized, quizzes are short and easy.
Overall he is a good professor. I took him for summer online class. Just some quizzes and lectures you need to finish on your own time and they are easy. H e doesn't really reply you back and he also takes really long to grade but overall a great professor.
Best professor! The class consisted of 3 discussions, 2 weekly quizzes & a group presentation. Such a lenient grader. I would definitely take him again!
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! This is the hardest, most annoying course I have ever taken in my whole educational career and its only week 3 of the semester. This course requires you to use a Windows program called "Arcmap" which does not work on a Mac computer so you'll have to buy a windows computer. Harder than my MCAT needed for Medical School.
Dr. Kyne is not a harsh grader and always responds to emails. Took him for summer 2024, so things were fast paced but not overwhelming at all. We had about 4 discussion post, 14 quizzes,1 exam, and a group project. Quizzes and Exams were not proctored. Great class.
Dr. Kyne is an amazing professor. His class is tough but he makes sure to explain everything in great detail and he's very responsive to his email and likes to help students. Yes, there is a lot of work for this class but it is doable. If you're good at following instructions you'll do great in his class!
