The class is easy, just show up to do the daily responses and he'll give you full credit even if you BS, which is 20% of your test grade. You don't need to buy a book for this class, all of the questions are straight from the notes... read the notes for 10-30 mins and you'll be fine.
the test reviews come directly from the MC quest @ the end of the Chapters. Memorize these you have a A.Requires 3 short papers,no bid deal. Answers questions quickly. Good class to take if you are taking something else heavy. Also this class for me is 4 weeks for some reason. 3 test no final.Pretty basic and really easy.
needs to offer more assignments for online classes. More papers or make questions due for a grade.
Very professional and always straight to the point.Does'nt waste your time with busy work..Always willing to help and explain futher..likes when you ask questions.
The class was interesting- but it took a while for emails to be returned and by the time they were, the tests were already over! When you do receive emails they are maybe 3-4 words long. This would be a good class to take on campus rather than online.
this guy is weird...
great guy knows what he's doing and very clear
Contrary to the popular opinion i think he's a good teacher. I appreciate his honesty and clarity. He makes it very easy to do well with the extra credit oppurtunities, and the essays help reinforce what you learn.
easy, easy, easy. If u fail this mans class your are stupid.
Excellent professor, extreemly intelligent.
This class is so easy. The tests are straight are very similar to the reviews at the end of each chapter.
Mr. Mack is a great professor..He is very interesting and is very funny..You will catch his attention if you ask GOOD questions..If you don't take notes you have to read the book (mostly the words in bold..study for about 2 hours and you'll be fine
I took him for the on-line class. As long as you do your assignments and study the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter you will get an A. Always responded to my emails quickly. Nice guy!
I took his online class... easy A!!! easy turn-in assignments and the multiple choice at the end of each chapter is what is on the tests..word for word!! He is also extremely nice and let me turn in my some h/w late and didn't take any off anything and always answered my emails quickly
Even though I had him for a online class, he was horrible. He did not give enough assignments for us to get a good grade and he gave like three tests that each covered like 5 or 6 chapters. Too much. and when I asked for more work to get a better grade he said no. The class was boring enough without all that.
You would have to be a complete moron to not make an A in his online class. Half of the test questions came word for word from the book's chapter reviews & the tests were ONLINE & you have two attempts!! Take him if you want to make an A
Mack was my favorite professor. He was very motivating, and I got an A. However you need to want to learn to take his class, his tests are from lectures and textbook. I took him about 4 years ago and he still is my favorite teacher, and I have had many since.
This was my first online course and I won't ever regret it..... if you are planning to take an online course this would be a good choice. He is helpful, and always willing to work with you. All you have to do is keep up with what he is asking for & its the assignments are not hard at all. don't fool yourself by not taking this class online....
Well, you'll get to class and he'll try to make you drop it, by saying its hard and if you dont blah, you'll blah blah blah....bs, its flippin easy - the only reason you need to go to class is to get your daily points for the tests that make up 20 points of each test. Study book chapter reviews and thats it. Hes funny and makes fun of people, haha.
Mack is an easy teacher. His lectures are better than average. The guy seems really bitter at America and the current generation of Americans. Show up to class and listen to his lectures and you should get an A in the class without even reading the book.
Very easy and fun lecture classes. Gave easy extra credit assigments which added 10 pts to test grades!!! He came to class sharp sometimes in his pink suit with matching shoes. Overall, this class was an easy A.
Took this online 8 week format, very easy. TQ's are in chaper reviews. Study the reviews and you will do great.Needed elective credit so this was very low stress 3 units. Plus reading was pretty interesting as well. Mr. Mack was prompt at answering my questions as well.
Realy easy class. Great prof 2. I took this CDI and like an idiot went to the wrong campus to take final. I didnt have time to get to the right one before they closed so he just ave my other tests and put that in for my final! He worked w/ me & my schedule and allowed me to take one of the tests at a time other than the scheduled date, GREAT prof!!
Took on-line and couldn't have been more pleased. Wonderful professor, easy assignments. This teacher works with the student and he values the student's opinion. Highly recommend this class.
Professor Mack was great! His online course was simple and to the point. I would recommend him to anyone needing a SOCI class hands down!
Man, he's the easiest teacher ever!!! I took his DL summer class & it was awesome! Assignments are easy & his tests are exactly the same from the multiple choice @ the end of each chapter. Highly recomended!
Mr. Mack is a great teacher! He takes a great interest in his students and he wants everyone to do well in his class and in life! He tells wonderful stories and has great wisdom for those who are wanting to be the best. Study his notes and the chapter reviews and you will make an A.
This teacher is fantastic for a online class!! He is crystal clear on what to do and does not overload you, gives plenty of time to complete assignments, and also some assignments are open early so you can do them ahead of time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! one of the nicest prof. that I have had at TCC.
Mr. Mack is an awesome teacher. I took his online course and as long as you follow the instructions for his assingments it's an easy A. He's very helpful and responds to e-mails very quickly. Tests are extremely simple as long as you study the Multiple Choice questions at the end of each chapter. Definitely take this class it's super easy!!!
didn't learn anything, but you get your A. I don't think I even opened my book, nor did I have to email him for anything. You need to take him if you have a lot of classes.
He is a very nice and caring teacher. His lectures are pretty interesting and he wants you todo good. He might seem a bit intimidating at first but he is very nice. His tests are from his lecture and the book.
Very straight forward! Follow the orientation instructions and you can't go wrong. Responds quickly to emails.
he was so easy took the online sociology was the best online class i have ever taken like maybe 5 assignments all semester
LOVED LOVED LOVED his class! do to Professor Mack I have decided to make my minor, sociology. His class is very easy, if you show up for class, easy but very interesting. His test are simply over his lectures. He loves to teach so he is an amazing teacher. and no homework, other than extra credi essays. Loved him!!!!!
Mr. Mack is a very kind teacher. I took his on-line class.He cares for his students and wants you to learn about society the good, bad and ugly. He responds to e-mail quickly and his directions are very clear. His test come from the reviews at the end of each chapter, and there is a summary review of the chapter that is helpful too!!
Look no further because this is the professor to take! Really cares about students and always emailing to let everyone know whats going on. Easy assignments just read the text, easy tests just do chapter reviews! Made an A in the class.
Taking this class on-line he is great. You will always get a quick reply when asking questions. Provide clear instructions in regards to assignments. You can easly get an A in this class, if you do your work and study for test.
Mr Mack's online sociology class is the easiest thing ever. You have an assignment a month which is just a short summary. The test are the exact questions from the chapter reviews in the book. If you need an easy A, its the class to take. Plus if you do have questions, he responds promptly. He really just wants everyone to pass.
This is a great class. The instructions are clear, the assignments are spaced out and not difficult, and the tests are fairly straight forward if you study the chapter exams in the book. Highly Recommended!!!
Took the class online and during the 4-week summer course. REALLY EASY! Everything comes from the book and he gives you enough time to do his assignments. The assignments make you think but are really easy. Highly Recommended!!!
EASY online class! He gives very few assignments and grades them very easily! His tests are from the review at the end of the chapter so there is no suprise! Also you get three attempts on each quiz and it gives you the right answers at the end of each try! I would highly suggest this course!
amaaaaazzziiiiinngg guy! extremely insightful and very helpful
Mack is my absolute favorite teacher! He's a totally warm, approachable, polite, and sincerely caring person. Plus he has way cool facial hair lol. Take his class!! Easy A.
He was a great teacher and the book was easy to use. I took his online course and he was very responsive with all emails. Write the essays (very few), complete chapter quizes,define key terms and you're golden. The tests come from the chapter reviews in the book and chapter quizes. You cannot fail this class unless you don't want to succeed!
Take him if you want to make a good grade, he is easy. And his exams are based on the end of the chapters. And the assignments are just essays, which are just 250-350 words or more, and he grades easy on you. Take him you won't regret it.
Took his online class, it was very easy. You write a paragraph every few weeks. He tells you where in the book to find the section that you are writing over. Was an easy A. He was also very quick at responding to emails.
Super easy class! You will definately need your book for this class, I took it online. Everything is easily found in the book and gives dates for assignments in advance. A few short writing assignments, It doesnt seem like he actually reads the assignments. I think he grades you on word count more than anything.
I took him online. It's an easy class. You do a few short essays and he grades them on word count. You take some easy quizzes. Test are out of the book. You should make an A in this class.
Dr. Mack is an outstanding teacher and does more than teach sociology - he opens your eyes to the truth about society. Be on time to his class, be ready to study your text book and participate in class - he loves that and can work with whatever opinions you come up with. This class changed my life.
I was very impressed with this teacher?s encouragement which shows the amount of care and attention he has for his students. I was very lucky to be one his student this year. Great on-line class.

Took Online. Friendly and caring teacher. Class is pretty easy if you do all of your reading.
Don Mack is one cool cat. He's a bit out there but he's got some really hard hitting life advice for those who listen. He is highly respectful of his students but I've seen him tear people up for being disrespectful toward him. Never used book never studied for tests made an A. BUT daily work counts on tests so show up and you'll be fine.
If you want an easy A take this teacher! I just took him online for a 4 week summer course, we did 5 papers and 3 tests. He counts words for grading so when he sets the limit of how many words to do, do the max so you get all the credit. Tests were so easy, study the questions at the end of the chapter and your golden.
Easy, took the 4 week summer online course, studied end of chapter review over n over. 5 writing assign, 1 is a discussion board. He said 250-350 words I did one that was about 260 and he took off points, make sure yours is closer to 350. There's also a practice test worth 15 pts and orientation was 10. no extra cred but u won't need it!
Easy A and great professor! Took this class on-line during a 4 week term along with another class. Never read the book, only study the end of the chapter quizes. There where about 2 assignments a week and they were very easy. Great summer class or great class to take if you have a full load!
He is a fairly good teacher, but I found is lectures hard to understand. Very out there.
If you are interested in sociology or just have to take it, this is the guy. His class is so simple, but everyone tries to make it had. Go to class, take notes, and use the study guides out of the back of the book and you'll definitely pass. He is very insightful.
Take this class online if you want an easy A. Quizzes are set up to where you have 2 attempts. After the first attempt you are able to see which questions you got wrong, along with the correct answers to those questions. I made 100s on every quiz. Exams are straight from the book's end of chapter reviews. 5 easy writing assignments. Don't buy
continued from last post....don't buy the book new unless you don't mind wasting money. I found the 9th edition online for $5 and it is the exact same as the 10th edition!
Wonderful teacher, cares about his students, you actually learn a lot from the class!text book optional, all tests in class, study your notes and you'll get an 'a'
Dr Mack is a wonderful proffessor. He really cares about his students. There is extra credit for every test that actually help you in the longrun. Attendance if very important because he has you do a reaction sheet that he includes as part of your grade. Easy points there. I would definately take allhis classes. Very willing to help in any way!
Very Good Professor!
Took online class, 99%, easy A. Instructor is very considerate and helpful.
Don Mack was the best professor I have ever had! He takes so much interest in the success of each individual, and he truly wants you to learn, as well as become an even better person. His class was motivational and inspirational. Thanks to him I am now a Sociology major. His class truly changed my life, and I am not just saying that to be cliche.
Don Mack is very helpful and will reply to email very quickly. I took the class online, as long as you read the book and flow along you can get an A, i was kind of lazy and slacked but still came out with a B. Over all a good class to take
He responds to emails fast and he is very helpful. Easy class overall.
By far the best professor I've ever had. He is very attentive, and extremly knowlegable. He professes in such a way, that makes you look forward to going to class each morning.
Easy online class! Professor Mack is super helpful and encouraging on essays. Tests are 50 questions and he gave 90 minutes to do them. Great online class!
I took him online. He was very easy.
I took him online and literally so easy! Loved this prof and this class.
I took him online and literally so easy! Loved this prof and this class. know the review questions at the end of chapter and you will do fine :-) I used the older edition as is was like $2.00 online and it was perfect!!
AWESOME TEACHER AND CLASS! SUPER SUPER EASY A+++! The only thing i hated was the essays, but if you do the maximum words he requires its an automatic 100! The answers for the test come from the end of the chapter multiple questions in your book. I never studied at all and made a 98!
Easy professor! He is very helpful and has a really awesome personality. He connects with his students and makes understanding the material easy.
Mr mack is nice but not helpful I doubt he even cares, He says oh this is in the book but wait 6 chapters to study for and doesnt even give enough time to do a test he opens up the test the day its DUE that isnt time for me especially with finals
Amazing prof.! I wish there were more teachers like him! Very clear, makes class interesting. Must attend class to get his power point notes, but everything you need for the exam is in his notes. He allows extra credit for every exam (easy 10 points!). The final is NOT cumulative, which is RARE in college! TAKE HIM, he is worth it!
I LOVE Don Mack! He's a great teacher, and a very sweet man. He'll go to whatever lengths he needs to so that you make an A. He's been kinda crushed by the system though, so make sure you let him know how grateful you are.
Great teacher! Makes the subject so interesting! Highly recommended because he is very helpful about what he expect out of you in class. When he talks about our generation and child development, it blew my mind! Very sad that the semester is over because I looked forward to going to his class everyday.
Mr. Don Mack is probably one of the most interesting teachers supper funny and real blunt! Awesome!!! Very helpful, attend his lectures because he has power point notes to give everyday. Tests are sully based on his notes and if you read the chapters of the notes you will for sure get a passing grade!
took online soci and it was super easy. not too much homework and only three tests which are all questions from the book. easy A. very helpful and nice teacher.
Love Mr. Mack he's a really great teacher. Be sure to always show up and not miss his powerpoints. His exams are usually on his powerpoints.
If you are ever going to take an online class, this is the one to take. There are no surprises in this class, read the book & take three tests, 4 papers (350) & 4 discussion posts (100). He always reminds you & from what I have seen he just appreciates a longer than his requirement paper/post that covers what he asks. Keep up with your stuff = A.
I took this ONLINE! very laid back class I NEVER read the book I only used it to take the tests. A total of 3 test One test was straight from the multiple choice questions from book the other 2 had some questions from the multiple choice questions on the book but not enough to pass. If you have a very busy schedule take him!!! Passed his class with a B and I would deff take him again if I had to!
Amazing teacher we didn't use the book at all I didn't even buy it. I LOVED coming to his class he is soooo funny and outgoing even though he is older. Wish he could teach all my classes!!!
One of my favorite teachers OF ALL TIME! No matter thesubject, you will leave his class with a new understanding of the world and be a better person beside... TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!
I love Mr.Mack! He's an awesome funny teacher! We do use the book but his test are on his lecture. He makes you think and understand things more clearly. I passed with an A. Appearance is also mandatory! He won't cut you any slack when it comes to attendance. He's a bit old school. Definitely take him!
Took this class online. EASY A, just make sure you turn in all of your assignments. I think I ended up with a 98 in the class, easiest class ever. Ever. Nice supplement to a full load- this took minimal effort.
This class was the EASIEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN. I almost forgot I was taking it. Hardly any assignments. Tests aren't timed and they are straight out of the book. Super easy professor. If you want an EASY A take this class! :)
I really enjoyed taking this class online, as long as you keep up with the reading and tasks the class will be a breeze. :)
Chapters are long but tests were not hard. Not many assignments. Got a B only because I missed an assignment.
Great, great class with a great, great professor. Super easy, the tests are straight from the notes you take in class, you don't really need the textbook at all. Mr. Mack makes Sociology interesting and as long as you are engaged in class discussions, take notes, and do the discussion board assignments, it's an easy A class.
SUPER EASY ONLINE COURSE! Take this class! He always reminds you when things are due in advance! Tests are out of the book, discussion posts and papers can all be your opinion and it will receive a good grade as long as you defend your opinion. Easiest class online, I've taken so far! Especially to earn credit, for a gen ed.
Super easy, you need to be in class because all test are based on the notes. No need to buy the book unless you miss class but even then you can get your notes from a friend. He also doesn't do a comprehensive final which is great!
Very clear instructions on what he expected throughout semester. He made sociology assignments interesting and always gave plenty of time to study. His organization and timely upload of information made it easy on me to focus on learning the material.
Class was super easy. Not easy to be interested in (to me), but he is very clear on his instructions and deadlines. Reminds you before assignments are due.. Very polite and helpful! Take him!
He is more than an "easy " teacher to take. He is like NO other professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares, you actually learn things you won't forget after the test. He should be given an award for the amazing way he teaches! Inspired me!
Great Teacher!
Great professor! The only grades for the whole semester are 5 test grades, and he drops one. The test come from PowerPoint lectures, where the items that will be on the test are in green. Easy A if you take the notes especially the ones in green, because they will be on the test. And, don't buy the text book. You won't need it. Promise.
great powerpoints with the test items in green, good and to the point lectures. very clear on dates for test ext. no quizzes, 5 tests including final and drops lowest one
AMAZING professor! He really cares about the students and is more than happy to help you out on anything that you ask. He is clear on what is on the test and you will make a great grade if you just study and take good notes. He really knows his stuff and has incredible stories to tell! He is one of the kindest professors that I have had at TCC!!
Uses PowerPoint for lectures. All green comes in the tests. Five tests( 50 mul-choice). No final. Lowest grade dropped. 10+ points for each test if you do a brief research paper (300 words or so) and bring it the day you have test. Lectures are short and there is a Review day before test if you missed some notes. No projects or participation requi.
easy prof. funny... 5 tests are given during the whole semester and everything in green on his ppts are on the test. study. do the extra credit and you should be good :)
Don Mack is so easy going, friendly, and all around a great professor. He put what was important on the screen in green and told us that that material would be on the test. He is very intelligent and has a real passion for sociology. I enjoyed his class so much!!!!
Good lectures!
Such an amazing professor!! Would definitely take again!!
Dr. Mack was definitely one of the more interesting professors I've ever had. He loves when people participate in class discussion but doesn't push for it. He is funny if you have a dry sense of humor. He cares a lot about students getting A's but looking past the grades as well. Wants us to do very well in society.
