Not very helpful with the course. DID NOT prepare us for the tests very well!
You'll have no problem with the tests or assignments if you just listen in class and review your notes and key terms from the book. He also throws in a few "words" to catch our attention which make sthe class fun!
Very funny!!!!
He is a decent teacher, gives projects which help your grade if you are not good on tests. The tests are kind of hard, but just look at the vocabulary and review notes.
Not helpful. Tests were really hard and he didn't help prepare you for them.
He's got a sense of humor, but class is boring and since his lectures are online its hard to make your self go b/c the tests are hard either way. Projects count for a lot of your grade and help alot. He's a cool guy
He was my favorite teacher for my freshman year. Great guy and the classes are fun and he's funny. Strongly recommend! Classes are simple and the notes are provided online. So you just print them out and go to class. No taking notes! Test were pretty easy and I would just study the night before.
This prof has horrendous grading policies. It takes him too long to grade, so you don't know what you need to improve for the next project. His tests are poorly written, projects are a complete joke, and he doesn't grade writing on short writing assignments in a writing intensive class!!
I enjoyed this class he was a good teacher. Tests can be tough at times but since there are 5 you can slip up on one and be ok. Group and individual projects are worth alot.
Oh please. This was probably the 2nd easiest class I've ever taken. Get out, seriously, these comments can't be for real. The class is CAKE and he is a great instructor.
Professor Guzzo is a great instructor with a sense of humor. He takes forever to grade projects, but he grades them very easily. His tests started out hard, but got much easier toward the end. He's new, so he was just figuring things out. I'd recommend him for SOC 200, smaller class if possible.
Dr. Guzzo is a good teacher. He knows what he's talking about and makes class interesting. Just take good notes and review the vocab words from the book and you'll do well on his exams. The writing intensive component is easy. He is willing to help with writing papers if you ask for help.
Prof. Guzzo has been my favorite professor so far. He definitely knows what he's talking about. His writing asignments are easy, but make sure you study for the tests. They aren't difficult at all if you study. He puts his notes online which is a plus :) so you dont have to take a lot of notes.
He is hilarious. The class i took was easy and I could miss class and still know what was going on. The writing assignments were easy and so were the tests as long as you studied. He also put notes online so you didnt have to take any.
very easy class!! just take good notes and skim over the book and you'll do well on the exams. nice guy, knows his material
i loved him! his class can tend to be boring at times but if he tried to keep you entertained, its great. go to class, add to the notes you print offline, and the exams are almost cake.
He is a great prof! I loved his class, even though I missed a few of them, he makes things fun. A few assignments but they arent hard, I had fun doing them. TESTS ARE EASY IF YOU STUDY THE WORDS AND NOTES. He offers the notes online, so not really a must to take them durning class!
This guy has kinda weird humor, and his class can get pretty boring. The tests are difficult if you dont do a good amount of studying. The journals and projects are incredibly easy, though.
Dr. G is the greatest!! ALWAYS willing to go the extra mile to help and so are his TA'S. Tests are very fair with incredible review sessions. I highly recommend this teacher!!!!
great teacher, made class easy and fun. He takes attendance occasionally so go to class on Fridays!
He was really funny and his classes were pretty interesting. His exams are pretty much all vocab and all multiple choice. Go to the review sessions before the exams...he tells you practically every question on the tests!
this class is so easy!! download the powerpoint notes and go to the review sessions and you'll do well on the exams. be careful, though, he does take attendence sometimes...and its part of your grade. the writing intensive part is really easy...the ta's grade it...so easy!!
Very good teacher, cares about his students and wants you to do well, if you still need Soc-200 you will be making a mistake not to take him, as long as you go to class and study the terms you will get an A
I enjoyed this clas. He is very opened minded and will curse during class. I was never bord. This class should be an easy A.
Awesome professor, has a little bit of a crass and strange sense of humor, but you get used to it. He is very willing to help if you ask. Go to class, take notes and you'll get an A.
Very easy class. I only went to class when there was a test and did very well. All you need to do for a test is memorize the vocab. Ocassionally there are questions from videos but if you haven't seen them the answers are basically common sense. Grades tests after you take them. Writing projects are fun and easy. Great class!
Great Teacher. Fun Class. Easy Test. Fun Projects.
He was easy. The tests are easy,and he has review sessions. The projects are so easy too!
This class is cake! It is interesting and worth listening to. His tests are easy and one could easily pass with a C and never go to class. The review sessions are worth attending because some of the answers to questions that will be on the test are given. Writing projects are not difficult and are graded rather easily. Easy grade booster!
Best teacher I ever had!!!!! 5 test, 2 easy writing assignment (WI). It was cake, and I thought soc was going to be hard! Ha! Take him and you will enjoy going to class!!! :)
Complete blow-off class. You never have to go. I got an A on both writing assignments and all five exams without studying a lick. However, he is boring as hell, and he cusses in class so kids will think he's cool, which is tedious.
Very Easy Class! 5 tests and 2 writing assignment... Everything is straight forward.
this class is common sense. i don't know why you have to take it, i learned nothing. and he tries too hard to be cool.
I had fun in Soc 200 with him, everything was really easy to understand and he was hilarious. I highly recommend him to kids taking the class.
Funny. Made the material fun. Easy to understand. Easy class.
He is a great teacher. Luv him!!!
I deffinitely recommend taking him for SOC. The class is so easy! You can blow it off (not recommended tho) and still get A's if you study his powerpoints. He gives study guides before tests and you even get to watch a movie here and there. Take him if you can!
He is a great professor. The class is very interesting and he makes it fun. Professor Guzzo is the best. I defianlty reccomend him.
Fun Class. Boring subjects at times but he could still make things fun and he initiated good discussions.
He is a great teacher, with a lot of good insight. His personality makes his class better.. best teacher I have seen at WSU.
This was my favorite class!! He made everything so clear and he made me eager to learn the lesson that he was teaching- luv em
it was an easy class and easy to skip...big lecture...take this!!
Notes online, powerpoints online, study guides online. Went to class everyday because he's hilarious, awesome guy. Went because he was interesting and I NEVER GO TO ANY CLASSES! Take him and you'll love going to class and get an easy A+
I had the honors class which was nice because it was small. With that class it was more personal and he was much more willing to be flexible with grades and projects. The tests are pretty easy, just go over the notes. On the movies he tends to be annoyingly picky, like who was the director?? But overall it was an easy fun class.
Very nice man, very fun class. Don't slack and stay on top of everything and you will pass. I highly reccomend him!!
His class is so easy. I skipped lecture all the time and turned both my papers in several days late and still pulled a B in the class. If I can do that, then a good student should pull an A no problem.
This class was probably the most boring class I have ever taken, but it was not because of the professor. Guzzo is a good guy. Everything was pretty easy, but he counted off on punctuation more than my English teacher did. This class makes my eyelids feel 100 lbs, but take Guzzo if you need this class.
Nice guy. This is the easiest course ever. Just as long as you keep up with notes (which are online), exams, and writing assignments, you can't screw up in this course. KNOW THE VOCAB!!!
If you go to class and do the projects then there is no way you wont get an A
I LOVE DR. GUZZO!!! He's a GREAT teacher!! He has stories for days and he always has fun videos and dialogues to involve the whole class. I NEVER got bored in his class. If you ever need help, he is MORE than happy to help. And he gives great convo outside of class also!! I would recommend him to anyone. Pay attention and you'll pass!
Guzzo is a good guy, but this is one of the most boring classes I've ever been in. If you have any logic, you'll be fine...papers are easy, test are multichoice...if you have to take this course (try and get out of it) take Guzzo, I would have been asleep constantly without him.
He is a phenomenal professor! He has such a great personality and it shows in his class. If you know definitions for his tests, and do both papers you will ace the class, oh and my TA, sean, was oh so good looking.
Class was kind of pointles...but the teacher was great....just make sure you do EVERYTHING that he says, like writing papers in MLA format, becuase he will dock for that......but if you do that, and study the night before a test, you should get an A.
good class, extremely easy!!! recommend this class to anyone.........easy A
Boring material. Easy A.
This is by far the easiest gen. ed. I have taken so far. His lectures can get boring, but you do watch a couple of movies and they are good. If you know the definitions, you are almost guaranteed an A. Honestly, you could never attend class, print off the lecture notes, and read some of the book, and i guarantee you will get an A.
AWESOME teacher... I loove his class.. I don't go all the time, but you don't really need to. It's so easy to get an A if you do the papers and atleast try to do well on the test!
His exams are mostly vocab, so study that and you'll be fine. The powerpoints are online, so you don't even need to go to class, except when there's a few movies but even then you can guess those on the exam-multiple choice. It's an alright class, kinda boring, depending on the topic. You don't really need the book, except for vocab. Good prof.
He gets the students involved. He does put the notes on the internet so it a lot easier to keep up, but you still learn more when you to go class.
Dr. Guzzo is the best prof. i've ever had! by far he is my favorite teacher! He gives you the notes online so you can concentrate on the class. He makes all the exams and the writtings pretty easy and if you just go to class and try you can get an a. he doesnt ever assign homework other than 4 writting assignments. pretty easy! i say take him!
Guzzo is great! He knows how to teach to all students and get you interested in Sociology. GO GUZZO! HAZZAH!
Amazing teacher!!!!!!!!!!! TAke his class
SUPER EASY CLASS!!!! He read off the answers to the last exam! Everybody got an A! Take him to get an EASY, EASY A.
I really liked this class. Guzzo is a great teacher. I found this class very easy, I usually didn't study and I ended up with an A.
Great Class! Easy A by attending lecture. All test questions are from lecture not just the online notes. Movie day attendence is necessary to answer test questions about them.
GREAT PROF!
This class is quite easy. He is a stickler for MLA format with his papers. The first paper he allows you to correct for a grade higher. Attend class when he shows movies. There are always test questions based on them. I got an A in this class and on every test by just making/studying notecards of the vocab words the night before every test.
He is a really good professor. He explains things very well. He changes things up and makes the class surprisingly interesting. His papers are easy as long as you follow his outlines. You don't need to buy the book though. I would definitley recommend him.
by far the easiest class i have ever taken in my life, but that doesn't mean it was boring. you don't have to stay for the lectures to do well on the tests because he posts everything online, but what he has to say is interesting and he knows a lot about what he teaches. oh and did i mention that everyone got 100% on the final? why? you'll find out
EASY AND GREAT CLASS
He is an excellent professor. He is very clear when he talks and presents his info. He stimulates your mind and critical thinking and he makes class enjoyable and fun. He's easy to talk to and is extremely helpful and always there when you need him.
GREAT TEACHER! Very interesting class. Easy tests and very laid back guy. Just know the vocab and come to class and you should be fine in this class : )
This class was WAY easy. The book is only needed for the vocab. You don't really need to go to lass because everything is posted on-line but when you go to class he is a really good teacher :).
So easy. I rarely went to class outside of exam days because all the notes are online. The tests are way easy and the 2 papers are not that bad either.
Dr. Guzzo is really great. He's very nice and funny. He makes you feel like he's taking the class with you. His tests are very easy and so are the two papers. You even get to do a rewrite on the first one if you don't like your grade. I recommend staying after the tests to see your grade, you never know what he's going to let you get away with
He his awesome, he makes the class so much fun, you don't need to attend every, but attendence stay high because he makes it interesting and funny. I know everyone at WSU has to take sociology, and this is the only prof. you should take. HE ROCKS!
Great teacher! Easy to understand and he makes the class very interesting because he is not boring.
guzzo is great. very helpful and knowledgable. attendance is definetly not mandatory but his lectures are interesting. highly reccomend!
One of the best professors I've ever had a Wright State! terrific guy
Best SOC instructor at WSU, TAKE HIM!
EASY "A." Bottom line. Guzzo's a really laid back professor who doesn't make taking SOC 200 any harder than it should be. Writing Intensive? Yes, but you wouldn't even think so. Only 3 papers & 5 exams...piece of cake. Most key points on the test are from the lectures though. He makes the course fun and interesting. Recommend ANYONE to take GUZZO!
Pretty easy class. Make sure you go though and read the book!
best teacher at WSU!!!!
Awesome, laid back professor. Take him!
Awesome proffesor. His lectures are entertaining, the papers are cake, and the tests are easy (if you study). Take him if you have to take SOC 200. He's awesome!
great teacher, pretty funny. You get to watch videos and stuff. Tests and papers are so easy.
Dr. Guzzo was a great professor. He's easy going, funny, and teaches the subject well. I highly recommend him!
Great teacher and tests are easy. makes class fun with videos jokes and class participation, even in a big lecture hall. Know the vocab for the tests and look over the notes and you should be fine. writing papers were easy to-just basically follow the directions. Great teacher and class!
Dr. Guzzo is awesome! You really don't need to go to class that much b/c all the notes are online, but I actually like to go because he was a lot of fun. His TA's are awesome too! You have to write to 2 papers, but thet're extremly easy. 5 test mostly vocab from txt book. You watch a lot a movies, and there are questions on the test from them.
great prof! Puts all of his notes online, the tests are all multiple choice w/no short answer. The class was writing intensive, but not to bad, only two papers, and as long as you follow the directions you'll do fine.
He never uses a microphone in a huge class. You can't hear him if you're in Oelman 109. Very unwilling to work with you, but overall not a horrible class. Couldn't wait for it to be over, took a month to get a paper grade. 3 Tests, 2 Papers - you have to do the vocab from the book on your own. All of his class notes are online
This was the best class i've ever taken!! The class was super easy. 3 tests, and 2 papers were very easy. We also watched 3 movies. There is no attendence policy but he makes the class interesting and fun, so I recommend going. All the notes are online.
Dr. Guzzo makes things fun and clear. Funny guy. I would definitely recommend him. Just study and read the powerpoints he downloads online. You don't have to attend class, but it's cool if you do.
Great teacher, just study for the tests. There is no curve. Class is fun to attend but you have to read the book as well. Take him!!!
This class is fairly easy. 3 test, 2 papers. The I didn't study as much as i should and still pulled off Bs on them, and the papers were easy As. Guzzo is an awesome teacher and i highly reccommend taking him!
Great teacher! The best I have had in college so far. He is funny and makes class fun. Take him if you can!
great teacher. easy class. notes online. test fairly easy, follows the notes. paper easy A. great class. take it!
Great teacher! Really funny. I loved his Sociology class. Tests were ok and the projects were ok. I recommend this professor!!!
very helpfull professor. always answers questions and responds to emails. one time i stopped by his office and talked with him for about 30 minutes and he responded and was welcoming. Greatguy would recommend him for any student
No Comments
GREAT TEACHER!!!!
Awesome professor and interesting class.
I absolutely loved this class. Guzzo is one of the best professors I have ever had. Wright State would benefit from having more professors like him! He's not on a power trip, just wants to teach you and expand your mind. The two papers weren't bad and allowed for personal expression. Take him!
great teacher dont have to come to class hardly ever and still be able to pass the test with no problem great guy
good teacher, easy a, show up for reviews and get all answers to tests, dont have to attend class. fulfill requirements for reports and get a's on them as wel
SUCH A GREAT TEACHER! one of the best, wish i could take more of his classes. made me interested in sociology and very helpful and understanding. easy A ! dont have to go to class but so interesting you will want to !
I thought he was a really good teacher. I got a C because I slacked, not because he sucks. He is pretty clear about what he expects and demands.
prob the easiest teacher. you have 2 reports that are easy a's if u follow the guidelines, 3 tests and he gives you 80% of the answers before each test. really good guy as well. i got an a and didnt show up to class that much
nice and easy!
If any teacher for SOC 200.. TAKE HIM!!! He's the best!!
Read the powerpoints, show up to class, and enjoy! One of the best professors at WSU!
Very interesting class. Good movies. Tests were kinda difficult..even if you think you know what the answer is. all multiple choice. Go to class b/c you might miss important movies
Not a free A but not impossible either. If you come to the classes and do the work you will at least get a B. Put a little effort in and you will earn the A. Discussions are fun to participate in and he tries to involve anyone who wishes to participate. Tests are not that hard as long as you do a bit of studying.
Very nice man. Test are somewhat challenging, but if you put time into studying, you should be fine. Fun class to go to because of the discussions. Guzzo has a great sense of humor as well. Definitely recommend him!
Tests are next to impossible, doesn't clearly state what is wanted for the writing, but all in all, he's a good prof.
Not easy. Guzzo is a really cool guy, but I went into the class thinking I could get an A by studying the notes and such before the tests. The tests are impossible. On his 2nd exam I looked at the list, and there were 0 A's, about 80% were C's and lower. Grading on paper seemed unfair to the requirements.
Lots of information to intake, class was boring to me, do well on the papers, when preparing for the tests study to understand the concepts in your own way and not just to memorize...know what your studying! class is not hard just a lot of info and notes
Can do terrible on exams & still get an A! very helpful teacher. I would recommend studying ALOT for exams. but if you average a C then you can still pass with an A, just do extra well on the papers! Lots of information, but would definately recommend him as a teacher!!
Nice guy, gets the course done. Doesnt put much pressure regarding papers. Come to lectures, learn the powerpoint presentations and you will get an A.
Good teacher. Lectures can be boring but papers are easy! Test are almost impossible, no one gets an A on it. 100 question tests and never clarifies what will be on it.
Great professor. He is pretty funny and very easygoing. There were a few questions on the exams from the book. Get the book from the reserves at Dunbar and skim over it. For a basic general education class, I would greatly recommend this class and Dr. Guzzo!
He's a good teacher but the tests are very detailed. You must attend the classes with movies-the material from the movies will be on the tests. There is also a great deal from the book on the test. Overall not bad though.
His tests are hard if you dont read the texts and pay attention. He takes his class seriously even though its a Gen Ed course. He's funny and an awsome professor. He cares about his job!
The Tests are extremely hard its nearly impossible to study all the of the slides he gives you to study. Too much information on one test. The papers are easy though
Tough tests...easy papers. GREAT teacher....READ the text...over and over if you want really good grades on the tests, you gotta understand examples NOT just definitions. Very enlightening material and good class discussions.
I'm not sure why all the people on here are saying his tests are hard, they're not. I didn't even read the book for a while, just went to class and took notes, and I did fine. But if you don't want to go to class, reading the book works too! and I got an A on a paper that I thought I would get a C on. Really good teacher, and he's really funny!
Dr. Guzzo was a great professor. He made the classes interesting and is very generous when grading. I found the tests pretty easy, especially the final. He's very prompt with responding to e-mails and grading assignments. Overall, the class was very enjoyable. I would take it again.
Great professor, knows what hes talking about. The two papers really bring up your grade. Very interesting class, I really enjoyed it.
Very frustrating class. One miserable, difficult impossible test, one crazy easy one, one medium one. Nothing from lecture was on tests, it all came from obscure passages in the book. Not all "facts" had a basis in fact. Take a different Gen Ed besides Socialism 200 if you can. Subject was awful and this prof promoted self entitlement! Ugh!
Dr. Guzzo is AWESOME!!!!!!! He will do whatever you need to help you get the grade YOU want to get. Don't piddle-fart around, don't sit in a corner on your lonesome, ask to see every test afterwards to see what you got wrong and definitely do the papers the best you can and then some and you have a guaranteed A!!!
The class is fun, and very easy to get in to. He has a wonderful teaching strategy and I would definitely take him again. Classes are mandatory due to videos and discussions in class. 1st writing assignment is kinda tough, while the second is easy. Buy the ebook and study the pretest, posttest, chapter tests, and online flashcards to get an EZ A
Guzzo is one of my fav teachers of all time! He makes his lectures interesting by telling jokes and he is very straight forward. I would DEFINITELY recommend registering for his class!
Dr. Guzzo is an awesome professor!! He is very helpful. You could probably get by without going to class and keeping up with his online lecture notes, but I would reccomend going. He's hilarious!!
Dr. Guzzo is awesome. His lectures were amusing and it was well worth attending class. His tests are based partially on the book but I found I didn't need the book; studying and attending class is a must! He had a heart attack in lecture one day and didn't return for the rest of the semester, but if he does return to teaching, take him!
