Take this class with Mc Clain because he is the most easiest instructor out there. Everyone should just take it because it will raise your GPA up. He makes it seem like the class will be hard when he knows and his students already know its a walk in the park. He will only show up once a week but its

Dr. Mclain is an excellent teacher. I loved his class. He is very funny and makes the class so interesting. He misses classes quite a bit and I hated it because I always looked forward to his class.

Ever wanted to get free money for doing nothing? This is exactly how you earn your A in this class. You get to sit your butt and watch movies the whole semester, and just do two simple tests whic are a piece of cake. He'll give you a list of simple things to memorize, and you're set! He'll also miss many times. Incredibly easy :)

Depending on your goals: if you want a given A go for his lecture, do not take him if you achieve a degree in Sociology!

If you just need a grade for the class, McClain is the way to go, you will learn nothing. You don't need a book, just write down whatever he puts on the board and memorize it for the quizs, there is a paper but he gives you opportunities to get extra credit and not write it. The only upside to this class are the movies he shows, they're pretty good.

Freddy Mc Clain seems to have a good personality. In the begining thing are difficult, there's lots of note taking. This is essential in passing the class. Cheating isn't tolerated, if caught be prepared to do a thirty page report, give or take. This is in addition to class work. The class is fun , interesting and brings social awareness. Dr. Feddy Mc Clain is one of those teachers that does have rules yet shows he cares he's reasonable. If time allowed I'd sit in on one of his classes or even take sociology two with him as well. In my opinion in this course getting a good grade is atainable, just be willing to stick with the tough part (the begining of class) and follow throug until the end of the semester.

Professor McClain is such an amazing professor and human being. Easy class! Just take notes and he basically gives you all the answers. Don't skip class, beware of pop quizzes. Receive an A and you don't have to do finals. Great movies and great topics as well as personal stories. Amazing guest speakers as well.

He is really easy to pass because he doesn't give you a lot of homework, but needs to study for the quiz every week of the first week of that class. He is really funny and I think he loves to teach about sociology to students.

This is the class that you would love, he has humor, and he will educate you very good in his class. You connect with your work, and there is no stress. Mclain will look for you to work. He is a dam good Professor. TAKE HIM ! LOVED HIS WORK

Dr. Freddie McClain is one of the most phenomenal, influential people I've ever met in my life! Dr. McClain gives more of himself than most people will ever know, both inside of the classroom and outside of it. I am currently working on my Master's degree and I attribute a great deal of my success to the life-altering impact from Dr. McClain!

Professor McClain is my favorite Sociology professor, I took every class he teaches on campus. His class is an easy A, he just wants to see participation and that you actually study. He inserts real life events with his lectures so it makes the class so much more better where everyone can connect to the topic.

Dr. Freddy McClain is one great teacher. The first time I took his class I was awestruck by his brilliance. His lecture skills are bar-none. His shoes are so big i could never fill them. This world is a much better place with him in it and needs more people in it like him. It will be a very sad and dark day when Dr. MCclain is gone.
