Dr. Cole is very opinionated, but doesn't like when students show that side of themselves.

Awesome Professor, not a hard class. Just show up take notes and go home. There were three take home "exams" that were easy with the notes. Really laid back guy and makes a lot of jokes.

This class is a joke. You learn nothing, if you are looking for an easy A then take it. Just be ready to listen to and egotistical man. He makes fun of students and just seems to preach the whole time. Just make sure you are there when he gives the test out, too turn it in and pick it up. You will loose 10 point on all those days

I think it's funny that people are giving him a good rate just because the class is easy. If you want an easy A you might as well take the class but I think he is a horrible teacher I learned nothing and he is extremely rude. All he does is get off topic and rant about different things and then complains that attendance sucks.

If you get offended easily do not take this class!! But if you can put up with his controversial lectures then take the class! it is a guarantee A if you show up and take the exam. Hes a laid back guy who loves to argue. Do not try to argue with him because you are always wrong.

Skip class? You won't pass.

This dude is hilarious. If swearing offends you then this is not the class for you. He really knows his material. If you are late with exams he is pretty lenient. All of the tests are take home open note open book.

He's a very conservative guy, so take that into consideration if that rubs you the wrong way. If you can handle that, he's a hilarious professor who always has something interesting to say.

Had Mr. Cole before, and he still remains the best teacher, classes are very easy, he is entertaining, gives no homework aside from writing a paper, lets you take the exam home, just an enjoyable class to take and an easy A. Didn't use the book.

Professor Cole is a solid choice for a sociology class. He is extremely well versed in all areas of sociology, specifically religion. Cole has strong conservative views and has no issues expressing them but he doesn't push them on his students. Don't take him if you are easily offended, some students stop showing up after the first week.

All we did in class was go over a slide show and took notes. Then an exam was your whole credit and one paper. If you aren't good at taking tests don't take him.

This Professor is a "Star," and Owens Community College should have more like him. I have personally taken three of his classes and learned so much about Social Problems in the world. A must take class and I highly recommend him.

Dennis is a very laid back professor who clearly has a passion for social issues in the world. He is very free-spirited and typically says what he thinks. He gives very few grades but his exams can be tough if you do not take notes! A lot of his material is covered in class only and can be hard to find online.

If you take offense to sensitive subjects (i.e. abortion) this is not the class for you. Classes are just him going over the power points for each chapter and he lets you download them onto your own USB to use during exams. You have to listen to what he says during the lectures as well because he puts the examples he uses in the exams.

Opinionated, rambling, hard right conservative who shoves beliefs on the class. misinformed. racist/sexist/homophobic/classist. dislikes discussion/questions. uses book/pp but treats his own opinion as fact, no room for other views. grades retention of opinion. read the book & you might actually learn. poorly handled COVID19 online transition.

Professor Cole was awful. He acted like he never wanted to be there and had no clue what he was teaching. The class was extremely easy, but you never knew what grade you were going to get on assignments. The worst professor I've had in college by far.
