Somewhat difficult to understand, notes aren't very clear, tests ask random facts from the book. If you ask for help he will help you. Not a slack class, which he emphasizes. Expect to do a good amount of reading particularly his one assignment on reviewing sociological articles takes a lot of time and is confusing. Tough teacher, interesting class

Intersting the first couple of days. Then he becomes kind of strict and boring. Must read the book in order to understand, and also you must spend alot of time studying for his tests. He asks you random things on tests pertaining to the text. Lots of lectures and notes on the overhead, which is hard to understand. This is one study hard class!

He is nice guy, but sometimes his tests and quizzes are hard to understand (may be due to english being his second lang.) If you do not read do not expect higher than a C. And he is crazy about attendence and tardies, but his class can be really fun. And the subject is pretty interesting (at least to me it is)

really nice guy. cares and wants you to succede. but he isnt going to give you the grade you must read, attend class, take notes, and study for this class. its not easy but worth taking if you are seriousd about sociology.

one of the best teachers i have ever had. he makes the lectured fun by applying them to real life, and not just real life but his own life, and he's hilarious. his tests are somewhat hard so study up and keep reading, just do what he asks you'll be fine.

Really awesome teacher and really funny but hard class and hard assignments. Just study hard and do what he tells you, but be prepared because he grades VERY strictly. Good luck, you'll need it with Perez and 301W.

One of the Easiest Professors at CNU!! Extremely smart and a great person. He also tells very funny jokes during class to keep us engaged. GREAT PROF!

His class is really fun and interesting he makes the material come alive! Great Professor!

He is funny, and makes the class interesting!

Perez is an excellent teacher who gives the information needed to understand the subject, but makes it fun at the same time.

Gives Extra Credit. Amusing to listen to.

Perez is an awesome teacher. He is very enthusiastic about the material and it's obvious that he loves to teach. He has a passion for the subject, and makes it really interesting.

Perez is a good teacher. Come to class, take notes from the power points and you will do well on the tests. Very few homework assignments and NO PAPERS!! Learned a lot!

Great teacher! His class is really interesting and helpful if going into teaching! Only a few reading assignments for homework and no papers! The tests are fine as long as you come to class and take notes! Great class!

Dr. Perez is a very interesting professor and makes it worth coming to class. After taking the first exam,I understand his teaching style.... I feel that his grading is fair and his tests cover only material that has been discussed in class.

Lectures are interesting. He has the energy to make the class interesting. Doesn't use a text which is nice, but I miss the security blanket to look things up. If you go to his office hours he is willing to listen and help you as much as he can.

Dr. Perez is a very friendly professor, and makes the information interesting to learn about. His lectures are easy to follow, and go right along with the information needed for the tests. He wants his students to succeed, and learn as much as they can in his class.

Easy extra credit, interesting lectures.

It is a awesome class if you pay attention it is really interesting... He is pretty funny and very real

Dr. Perez has a lot of knowledge on the subject matter and has a real interest in learning. His tests are not difficult if you study, come to class and take notes. Overall, his lectures are interesting and enjoyable!

Professor Perez is a funny, down-to-earth guy. His lectures follow along with his power points, and he shows videos to back up the information. Take notes and study them before the exams, and you'll be fine.

Dr. Perez is a really funny man who has a genuine interest in what he is teaching. He is very willing to help any student who asks. The tests are not hard as long as you take notes on the lectures and come to class (which isn't hard because he makes the class interesting!) Great professor!

Dr. Perez is a great teacher. He is willing to help. All you need to do is attend class, take notes, and study before the test. Not much work for the class. He is a funny professor and makes coming to class enjoyable!

Dr. Perez has really opened by eyes to the extreme amounts of diversity many students will face while in the educational system. If you want all of your beliefs about school debunked, then this is the class for you. Dr. Perez is a character, a character you will want to get to know better.

Gave a study guide. Study it, go to class and take good notes. You'll be fine. Scary dude if you don't know him. Get to know him, you can relax and learn. Cool dude after all.

Mr. Perez is a really cool teacher! He keeps you entertained and not bored, which is good because I had him on a day with a full class load- I looked forward to his class. The information he gives you is interesting. Take good notes & study them and you will be just fine! I would definitely take a class with him again!

Dr. Perez is a great instructor. He is helpful and easy to get along with. He is also very funny and keeps us entertained.

He's adorable in his eagerness to get his point across. He KNOWS his subject and tries to help students to understand it, whether it is their major or not. Reasonable, and understanding of student limitations.

A few people in the past gave him negative reviews, but he really isn't too difficult. We don't use a textbook, he provides study guides, and is available for office hours if anyone has questions. If someone tells you he's mean or too hard, it's probably because they took him for Sociology Theory (which is for Sociology majors).

Dr. Perez is so fun! His class is the one to take if you are looking to be a teacher and learn more about the educational world. He always engages the students in conversations that help you understand the information in a practical way! I love Dr. Perez and this class! His humor and personality make my day everyday! Please take Dr. Perez!

Dr. Perez is an awesome teacher! He is energetic, enthusiastic and you can tell he really knows his subject, and really cares about it. He makes the subject interesting, fun and applies it to our everyday lives. As long as you study you can do really well in this class! I strongly recommend taking Dr. Perez!!

Dr. Perez is totally different than how people in the past decribed him, his class and quizes. I was a little scared but after our first quiz I can say that everything he tests on comes from his lectures. Dr. Perez is very intelligent, easy to talk with, and helpful. If you have doubts about anything you should talk to him first-he will listen.

I highly enjoy Dr. Perez's class. It is a great place to express opinions and to hold class debates on what I think is wrong with the world. I do think the tests can be hard if you don't take detailed notes everyday. Even though you may not think it important, it will usually show up on the test in the form of extra credit at the very least.

Dr. Perez is an encouraging teacher with a real understanding and appreciation for the world. He teaches his classes in a fun way brilliantly combining humour with fact and intellect. The key to success with him is OFFICE HOURS...if you don't understand something talk about with him! It will make sense and may even be entertaining!!

Dr. Perez has a self-evident passion for the subject and keeps things interesting, lighthearted, and humorous enough for everyone to feel comfortable in discussions. Doesn't require extreme amount of reading or work, but enough to get the objectives across in a relatable way, especially to non-soc majors taking it for an education requirement.

He is a pretty good teacher. Everyone should write down everything on his slides because they will become pertinent later on in class. Also the study guides are very helpful!

While his teaching style and my learning style do not always coincide, Prof. Perez is always very willing to meet up and further explain the information. He works very hard to connect with the students and is good about using material that is interesting and relevant.

Dr. Perez is very knowledgealbe in his subject area. He does not require much reading, and his lectures are very interesting and relatable outside of class. Although understanding his teaching style takes some time to get used to, once you get it his class is amazing. I have learned more in his class about education than i ever cared to know!!

Dr. Perez is a very helpful teacher. He is personable, funny, and entertaining to be around. I enjoy his class very much. I will highly recommend him as a teacher to anyone who is taking sociology classes. I will try to get him as a teacher for next semester. GO DR PEREZ!

This class is very interesting and Perez uses material that is applicable to real life circumstances. Make sure you pay close attention in class and write detailed notes as there is no textbook currently. Overall, this class has taught me alot about education that I can apply both in other classes, and in my field experience

Dr. Perez is truly a helpful professor. I was unsure of myself on the 1st test and I came to him and he prepared a study guide for the class that really helped! We've learned everything from Horace Manns Common School Movement to why teachers should use purple instead of pink pens when grading assignments.If you get the chance take SOC314 with him

Dr. Perez is passionate about what he teaches, and it is easy to stay engaged during lectures. The material is both interesting and relevant. While reading is minimal, actively listening and participating in class are essential to success.

First off, I'd like to say that using internet sites like this to completely judge a person is not fair. For me, teachers like Dr. Perez that push you is what college is about. He is not here to babysit you and hold your hand. Be responsible,show up to class,take notes and you will get the grade you deserve.

Perez gives you exactly what you need to know. He is funny, and makes the content interesting.

Dr. Perez is extremely passionate about what he teaches, which makes his students want to learn more. His lectures are engaging, he's willing to help and he tries to relate to his students. The material is easy and interesting to follow, so as long as you take notes and study (which you should do anyway) there's no chance you can fail his class.

On the first day of class, Dr. Perez walked around and introduced himself personally to each student. He's continued being approachable throughout the semester, and creates very engaging lectures. He takes student feedback and adjusts accordingly. I'd highly recommend taking him, but you will have to show up to class and be willing to learn.

Dr. Perez really seems to enjoy teaching. He is very approachable and encourages students to visit him during office hours if they need additional assistance or if they just want to stop by and say high. The class isn?t just listening to the professor lecture. Dr. Perez presents the material in and interesting way.

Prof. Perez always seem to be exciting about teaching, and for me personally, that is what makes his class so enjoyable. His slideshows are also very helpful, if you take all the notes, but that responsibility falls on the student, not the professor. Prof. Perez is always encouraging students to come to his office hours.

great professor! attendance not mandatory, but there's no text book so it is strongly suggested you go - but his class is fun so attendance is never an issue. Class is awesome, no papers, final not cumulative.

Dr. Perez is a great professor and makes the class interesting with his knowledge of everything that has to do with education! I was scared when I saw some of the other reviews saying his tests were hard, but they cover the exact material that is in our notes.

Prof. Perez is a great teacher. He is approachable if you need help during his office hours or through email. There is no text but he uses articles on topics covered in class. The classroom discussion and lectures are interesting and sometimes amusing. He grades fair and as long as you are there to participate and take notes, you should do fine.

Dr. Perez is a really good proffessor. He makes all the classes very interesting. There is no textbook for this class so he always has an article or video to help relate to the class material. He uses powerpoint lectures, which helps a lot when studying for the exams. I would highly recomend him for this class.

Prof. Perez is a very nice and easy-going teacher. He is serious about his work but willing to help as needed. People said he was extremely hard but that must have been for the writing intensive because I like him and his methods. The no textbook idea is nice because we can talk with him more (and we save some money!)

Dr. Perez is a great professor. He is very friendly and approachable. The class is very interesting. Just make sure to come to class, take notes, and study for the exam! I would definitely recommend taking a class with Dr. Perez!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Dr. Perez's class. I have learned an extensive amount on the Sociology and consider myself lucky to be in his class. While the subject matter can be somewhat difficult, Perez is fair and informative. I actually have a lot of fun in his class and look forward to going every Tuesday and Thursday.

I have never been a big fan of powerpoint, but it works for me in this class and I attribute that to Perez's ability to teach. Granted, his first langauge was not English, so sometimes he says things "wrong", but he is perfectly understandable. He is very helpful and our most recent test grades were all B's and high C's. You have to try to fail.

professor perez is a good teacher who is very interested in his work. he loves to talk about random stuff during class to make you laugh and keep you interested in the material. i recommend his class to any class rank at cnu

Dr. Perez is the best professor at CNU.

Dr Perez is very helpful and engaging. He knows his subject and makes it easy for students to grasp the informataion. If you put forth effort you will gain a lot from the calss!

excellent teacher

Dr. Perez is a hilarious and incredibly intelligent professor. He covers material well by bringing in relevant articles for us to read but keeps the class captivating with his wit and humor. I generally put a lot of effort into my course work and have found that with Perez's teaching I can do very well just by following lectures and studying hard.

Dr. Perez is a great professor. He is interested in what he is teaching and makes us laugh at least once every class!

IF YOU PAY ATTENTION THIS CLASS IS VERY INTERESTING AND ACTUALLY NOT TOO DIFFICULT! PEREZ KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND IS VERY REASONABLE

Professor is very knowledgeable and makes the class engaging and humorous. Makes himself very accessible and convenient for office hours and will help you understand what you may have missed in class. Study guide is helpful and tests are straightforward.

Dr. Perez is a great professor. I had him last semester and while his class was certainly difficult it was also manageable. Go to class and you will get a good grade I never missed a class and I managed to get an A. The only reason students dislike him is because they are lazy and he has high expectations of his students, he is also extremely funny
