I loved the class. He's a very good instucter.
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
Well, this class is so easy for anyone who just want to pass the class. I pass this class with a breezy A.Remember the facts that McClain gives you on the board.If you remember those facts then you will not do the final test.If you do that then you will be alright in that class.Be on time and enjoy.
his easy for those of the people that are in school to play.but if you know that your are there for future reasons to learn please do not ever ever take him because your gonna be sorry.
I took this class on Summer 05' he was soooooo easy. I just went for the first month and since I got an "A" he said I didn't have to show up anymore. He was a funny smart man he doesnt complicate things. The only thing I didnt like is he's alwaysssss late! Hey as long as he passes you it's o.k w/ me.

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. This is the first class that made students upset when the teacher wasn't there. DON"T MISS ANY CLASS YOUR STUDENTS LOVE YOUR CLASS!!
He's not only a great play dad but an excellent teacher as well.
he wasn't good at all. he was never there, those of you who actually took this class i'm sorry. i took it during winter 05, it was a waste of time because i wanted to learn. i got my grade, but he never showed up. he even left during a test. weird.
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 :)
lol! i agree with all here. this class is a easy A and i didn't even take one test. Dr. McClain is hilarious as hell!! Hahaha. He luvs scaring students about failing them but he don't believe that himself ha! no worries he don't teach sh*t. this your easy A guaranteed. :D
This guy was a total joke. If it were up to me I would fire him. Yes I got an A but that isn't the point. I go to school to learn and that is the last thing you will do in this clowns class. Take him if you want a meaninless A.
You will not learn anything. He plays mind tricks and test the class about 3 times. You will get an A if you kiss ass.
this is fun class and he always makes you crack up and says his famous roll call story. also the only thing that i did not like was that he said he was going to bring a witch and never did and also said that the class was going to go to a field trip to the morge and he never did, and never took place.
This teacher is full of crap. He does nothing but intimidate his students and makes false promises. You do not learn anything in this class. The only thing I learned was that running over your boyfriend or husband with a car is considered abuse, which is completely stupid. The guy attends class once every two weeks. It is a b*&l S#*t class!!!!!!!
Dr. McClain is a superb instructor. He knows sociology like the "back of his hand". He should be an administrator instead of a teacher. He has many years of experience, and he give students a break. Kudos to Dr. McClain!
He is a good man, and knows Psychology. But he uses his knowledge against student. He plays mind trick. If you want an easy A and waste your time take him.
I believe McClain is a wonderful intelligent professor. He is funny and outgoing.Homework is not require.... But you learn alot about socilogy and its in function and the importance family is for one's life.. I recomend this professor to anyone best teacher and easy teacher especially if to talk and participate infront of class issues.
He is a good teacher and you can learn a lot from him. He makes you think by stimulating a discussion in class. You get a lot of information and insight on social issues.
He is a bad teacher, you waste your time, you don't learn nothing in his class. Never take his class.
He is a techer that want everybody to pass. Yeah it easy! If u want to major in sociology dont take it but if u want an easy class to even out ur schedule and gpa this is the perfect class! Ofcourse i got an A! and there is no FINAL!!! Everbody need to quit complaning cause everybody enrolls to take his class!
Dr Mc Clain is as real as it's going to get. his teaching style is funny and interesting. I recommend this class...
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! He misses class sessions, leaves class after the first five minutes of the exams (means: cheating not a prob) and loves to show movies! The selection of the movies was great, by the way ;-)
Dr. McClain is a extraordinary professor. He makes you wanting to learn the material. He motivates students so that they can pass his class. I would recommend him to student not unless you have already taken him. I'm planning to take him for Sociology 2.
this guy is really funny, but you will not learn anything, i highly recommend this class for slackers but if you are serious in being a social worker dont take this guy.Class is so easy that you can put jibirish on his test and stll pass with an A+.TRUST me i tried it. his abscent alot so dont get discourage
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.
he is the bomb
This guy is hilarious... Easy class trust me. It was amazing how many ppl dropped after the first class meeting. boy did they miss out!. Just attend to take down whatever he writes on the board and study for the tests. If you score well in them. You will get a good grade. (u really have to be retarded to fail)
This guy is soo halarius. He hardly went to class and all you have to do is copy what he writes on the board study it and you've got an easy A. He curses alot but its so much fun! You really wont learn much, but he makes all you other classes seem sooo boring!!!
I enjoyed his class especially the films he showed us!People are used to book lectures like in high school but this is college and it is a different experience.
Such an easy class. Just remember whatever is on the board and you should pass.
He is a cool teacher. Very good, and funny. He is not hard at all. Esay class you can get and A or B. " If you are thinking of taking him go ahead". He is the best of all. I like him very much!!!!!!!!!!! the best teacher in LATTC.
He is the best teacher in LATTC. Very esay class. Don't need a book for the class just copy what ever he puts on the bord and study it for the quiz. He is very esay teacher. Don't worry you won't get an F". You can pass his class very esay with an A or B. I got a B for the class and we only did one paper in the whole semester. He is the best.
Easy .. Don't show up and still get an A in the class " Easy is an under statement lol
hes really easy
took all three of his Sociology classes and passed all three with an A! EASIEST MOST FUN CLASS IVE EVER TAKEN. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
Super easy A. All u have to do is copy what he writes on board and put that on quiz. He really tries to scare people early in the semester. But stick around to boost ur GPA
Easy A,if u do what he asks of u...
this class is super easy,you come out with the same knowledge you came in. If you are majoring in soc maybe its not a good idea to take this class, good class to have if you have other harder classes and need units.
the coolist and awesome teacher has inspire me to be.come a social worker
He's a very laid back professor, uses a lot of profanity. All test are cumulative, so the whole class is based on memorization of the information he writes on the board. One good thing about the class is that he shows the best movies.
Ok.. at 1st i thought he was going to be hard. He seem to be strict, but he's not at all. go to class everyday and study his notes and you'll be fine! GREAT PROFESSOR!
Get straight A's on every test from beginning and you don't even have to take the midterm. Get straight A's after the midterm, no final for you!! He's easy, it's good to come to class so that he gets familiar with your face, he will get easier on you. Oh but fail a test and you right a 20 page paper. lol everytime you fail the paper increases.
Great Professor. I too thought the class would be hard and took it as a drop class but once in I was hooked !!! Great Teacher Great Humanbeing ! The world needs more people in like Dr. Freddy McClain
Great teacher. He likes to intimadate people to drop but as long as you there for the notes you will pass. Follow his insructions and study the notes.Do not miss no class or you are lost.He is a wonderful person and wants you to do your best.
great ad clear info
One of the most inspiring and well respected professor you will ever meet.
He was extremely funny from the very first day of class until the last day of the semester. His tests require a lot of memorizing, but if you put effort into them, you will be on track. If I could go back, I most definitely would. Two words of advice: DO NOT CHEAT and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS because he is very strict on that!
THE EASIEST CLASS EVER!!! TOOK HIM FOR SOC 1 SOCIOLOGY AND PASSED IT AN A. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS STUDY THE NOTES THAT HE PUTS ON THE BOARD AND THAT'S YOUR QUIZ. 1 EASY RESEARCH PAPER THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER 3-5 PAGES.
He is such a great teacher ! You learn so much from him. He cares for his students and he makes the class interesting but the same time you learn. He makes you think and be open minded. I totally recommend you guys to choose Dr.Mc Clain he is the best !
Was a little afraid at the beginning, he looked mean and hard but he's the complete opposite. He's very funny and makes you think about a lot of the issues that we face every day. His tests are right from the notes and accumulative just study and you will pass. I'm looking forward to taking his class again.
Great man. The school should change the subject to Soeasyology
Im really grateful to have meet a professor supportive to my schedule letting me leave early to work and still be more helpful. He cares and understands students therefore he considers exams and assignments. This class is hugely FUNNY which is why it was easy to memorize the notes and he really knows how to touch hearts through terrific movies!
He is real cool, You learn a lot as Sociology is an important topic for all students to comprehend.
If I didnt have to take other classes at the moment I would take sociology 2 with him. He has a great personality, I loved attending to his class. Very easy. My only regret was that I took him over the summer or winter (dont remember) but I wish I would of took him for a longer semester. ENJOYED his class. TAKE HIM!
This class was the easiest class out of all the classes, I took that semester.. he's very helpful, very understanding, and a cool professer
He is a fun teacher. To pass the class all you have to do is study the notes he gives out for the tests. He doesn't give out NOOO homework!! He just talks and shows movies. Very easy class.
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.
I enjoyed Dr. McClain's class last fall. I've recently switched schools and often think of how they differ. I'm so thankful that McClain is the new chair for Administration of Justice.
One of the best teacher at the LATTC campus! Great sense of humor, always cracking jokes. The classes are always very packed and attendance is important he will DROP you! Tests almost every week, very easy, straight forward. Everything he lectures is exactly on the test. Also, no textbook required!
This guy is so funny and you actually finish the class learning something new. It gets interesting and he knows how to teach. All his quizzes are on his easy notes which just add up. So it's like the 1st quiz plus the 2nd with the same material. Idk how people would fail. Im taking him for soc 2 next semester :D
Assigns tests very week, very straight forward! Class overall was extremely easy! Had an awesome sense of humor! Participation is kind of required, he likes to have open class discussion and presentations. Easy A or B depending on you!! Textbook not required at all!!
Professor Mcclain is a amazing professor. His tests are straightforward and are based on notes. Make sure to attend class because you can't miss notes. The tests are really easy. He does not give homework and we watch movies from time to time. He also has a great sense of humor. "A" students don't have to take the final or write the term paper.
I remember years ago this guy will teach up to 10 classes by himself . I couldn't tell how he would teach so many classes providing a clear and concise understanding of the subject. however there were cases he would skip class, and send you to the library to watch movies. the tests were essay questions about family. what did people learn, really?
What is sociology? the application of research methods? what about the institutions of society? There are several aspects of the class I did not find the teacher covered. I only speak my experience and I don't want to talk but what is the purpose of this class. what about the theories? i'm lost.
The best teacher ever. I recommend this teacher to anyone who is looking to learn sociology. Good work. An excellent teacher.
I would take the teacher again because this class was ez. All you have to do is copy the notes on the board and respond the essay questions on the day of the test. I am not sure if this class prepares students to major in sociology.
Dr. McClain is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure your learning and succeed in life. Love him
Best Instructor I ever had at Trade Tech!!
Easy class! But does teach you valuable lessons! Do recommend, not because it's easy but he is a very straight forward person and tells it like it is.
This guy is a no miss take his class its easy i swear HES FUNNY HILARIOUS A MUST TAKE hes pretty straight forward everything on the exam "quizes" are the notes thats its cumulative so remember them and you also watch great movies great guy you must take him he will try to scare you but naaa he easy i swear and iam just in high school fun,funny.
ALL MEMORIZATION. Memorize his notes, write the exact same thing on tests. They are cumulative. Very easy. Keep memorizing and you will be fine. No book. Not much learning.
If you fail a test, he WILL make you write a paper. Make sure you follow his directions! The tests are easy though! He tells you the questions and answers ahead of time, so just study what he writes on the board.
So, Dr. McClain is awesome. He comes off as a tough ass but he is reasonable! He likes to scare students but he's really a cool guy. If you fail his exams, be ready to write long papers and make sure you FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS. If he says to 8 pages WRITE EIGHT FULL PAGES because he'll rip it up along with all of your hopes and dreams :(
Truth be told, this is the easiest 'A' ever! This is how he grades: He writes the answers, you copy them, then he gives you an exam based on what he wrote down, basically memorization! Easy A, easiest class in TradeTech, BUT I wish he actually taught, since this is my major! Teacher is hilarious!!! Funniest teacher ever! Acts tough at first though!
easy A, take him, he's so funny and lots of movies shown, his test are cumulative but its not even a lot to remember. we had no final if we kept an A by the end of the semester!!
He's the perfect man too take if you want to learn!
He is the best teacher
Had him for sociology 1 winter of 2016 now sociology 2 this spring 17' easy professor and I'm just in high school finishing my senior year currently taking 3 classes CD 1, Hist 12 and soci his class is easy you won't regret him take him he's funny, he may act tough in the beginning but naaa hes easy, everything that he writes will be on the test.
One of the most inspirational teachers at trade tech you will learn. A lot in this class its very fun.
Good and an inspirational professor. He is tough at the beginning of the semester and lenient for the rest. Take him if you are doing the GE.
Dr. McClain is going to be the easiest Professor alive! All you do in his class is watch movies. His exams are based on questions he makes up. He writes the question and answers it on the board. All you do is memorize it for the test and you pass! EXTREMELY EASY CLASS if you get a B or lower in his class you're simply lazy. HE IS TOOOOO EASY!!!
Mcclain is a good teacher if you want to be cheap and not buy the textbook he is good for it. He teaches very well he talks all day we didnt really have homework we just had to do quizes but he will let you know what will be on the quizzes it was an easy A for sociology.
I took this class during summer 2017 and it was so easy to get an A. All you do is watch movies and take quite a bit of notes and take quite long tests. There was a test every Monday, make sure to study the information he gives you. If you receive an A on all the tests, you do not have to take the final or do the final paper.
Enjoyed taking his class for the summer, easy A literally as long as you showed up. Would probably take again definitely! Didn't need a textbook.
Good class to take for an easy G.E. But bad if you actually care about sociology.
Dr. Mc Clain is life after death. He is an amazing Professor.
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.
off course everyone loves him he's easy! i think he's done! too many years of school he's now in fo this reward! he's i a nice individual i got an A plus! easier A ever! but too dramatic! wants to show a side he doesn't really have at all! ripping 30 page essays in class! yeah right! he's just giving ways A's!
Really cool and caring professor. HIGHLy recommend!
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.
Took his 8 week class, very nice and fun professor, I enjoyed this class and learned A LOT. A couple quizzes, midterm, and a final. Also a easy research paper. You will learn something new.
McClain is a great, wonderful, and understanding Professor, if I had to take this class again, I would. 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.
