Light workload!! interesting and funny. read the articles and review the book and you'll do great! Just make sure you read the articles and go to class!!!

just read the articles and go to class. you'll do fine

I thought his class was great.You have to read articles and tests are mulitple choice. Attendance doesn't matter but sometimes he tests on things he said in class so make sure to read someone else's notes! The tests can also be confusing, but pretty easy.

Easiest A+ of my life. It was not the most educational classroom experience, however. Lectures were a bit repetitive. If you study in exactly the manner Levine suggests then you will have no problems.

Suspense..i didnt know my final grade until it showed up on my transcript. no tests all papers little 1 page papers. but no grades on them he looks for improvement for the grade. a little boring at times but worth the A

easy class, made it interesting, test are from books & notes final was an easy mini paper got an A definitely take for a good time!

His class was BORING! Everyday there would be a couple of students dead asleep. Sumtimes even me!If u do the readings, u will pass. And it actually might be good to attend the lectures, though he doesn't take attendance cuz he may say or write down stuff that will appear on exams.

Very Easy! If you need an elective and want to enjoy yourself a little in the process take this calss with this guy.

he was a little confusing at first but once you understood what he was getting at you could understand what he was getting at in all the lectures. he was available for questions after class. no tests, only readings, a midterm and final, which were both very easy...not hard to get an A

Horrible class.Dont ever take him.It so boring and his test are dumb. i regret takin this stupid class.I didnt learn that much in it.

Very easy professor.Lectures never dealth w/ readings, but he was fun. Midterm & final. All u have to do is to be able to memorize. DO NOT GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS!!! He'll flip!

very very nice prof.I love the fact that he only gives a midterm and a final, no homework or papers JUST A MIDTERM AND A FINAL as he keeps repeating. He is very intelligent. The class was good , you really didnt need to show up just print the articles from the internet and read them. Another great t

heres the scoop - very easy, but very boring. nuff said.

TAKE HIM! read the material or go to class. Midterm is multiple choice and 1-2 word answers. Final is cumulative. It's Multiple choice and 15 short paragraph answers. Know the reading list and all the words on the page. The tests are all about regurgitation of the class lectures.

id reccomend taking his class. interesting, there is a lot of reading but he goes over it well in his lectures. relatively easy tests. seems to have very liberal view. pro-cannibus legalization! ;)

dont take if u wanna learn..TAKE if u want EASY A..no need 2 even come 2 class...just read ALL the material n its all online. exams r onli based on material n all multiple choicr..take him

i took him for 101 and soc of drugs, very interesting, u need to do the readings. very approachable, fair grader.

he was ****ing funny...he reassured us all that the world is completely ****ed up, which i'm sure some people forget about. but all and all, he was a cool guy who made me laugh while learning

EASy class REALLY interesting articles no textbook to buy just print articles good discussions in class- cud get a lil graphic and offensive thou-hes a blunt guy! but has his funny moments-smart guy2! TAKE IT!

The articles of this class was pretty interesting. If you pay attention to what he says and read all those articles you will be fine!! and THE MOST IMPORTANT READ THE READING LIST a big part of his test is going to be from there. He is a good professor, with a good sense of humor. Take his class!! You will learn a lot of things that you don't know

This guy is good, i read the bad comments, but believe it or not, i never read his articles, not even the book, just pay attention to what he says and writes on the book. The man is boring, but very funny at times, get a Red Bull, sit back & copy notes from the Board. Trust me, you wont regret it. Fair grader

For a prof that doesnt take attd a lot of people show up. Anyone who doesn't like him does so because they they are immature and dont understand the world is not as it seems. Interesting articles. & who cares if you can't leave during class

I was never interested in soc. I hated it because all we read were old newspaper articles But once we started on invitation to sociology everything made more sense The class wasnt boring at all. take this professor; youll look at things differently afterwards and pay more attention/understand the govt and how issues are relevant to you

I think he was a good professor. His classes were interesting and you learn a lot about whats going on around you. He's an easy grader. For the midterm he gave us 3 bonus points. He does embarrass you but only if you get up in the middle of the class or if your talking during class. If you want to pass you should take this professor.

I had Professor Levine for Sociology 101, Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, and a Tutorial in Heavy Metal Music and subculture.

I love this man...he's awfully random and really funny...the class teaches u alot about how the world works...and there is no text book to but...very fair grader..

I thought this class was a lot of fun although trying at times. There was a lot of ambiguity when it came to the syllabus and grading but in the end it seemed to work out. He really knows what he is talking about when it comes to the reading material so listen to what he has to say. As far as the rest of the class, that?s open to discussion.

great guy, dont walk out of class. will**** on your life if you do. a lot of readings, must go to class to know WHAts gonna be on the final/midterm...id say ima get a a- in this class.cool dude

Readings are very interesting. Learned a lot from reading the articles. He doesn't like it when people walk out in the middle of the class.. talks about nonsense at times.. kind of annoying. other than that, he has a great passion for sociology!

Very entertaining. DO ALL THE READINGS and the class is a breeze. Seriously. Just READ, know the authors, and what the articles/book is about and you will do fine. The readings are interesting anyway so its all good. Very good professor, everything is straight forward. The final and midterm were good also. Funny too.

A hilarious, top-rate professor in whose lecture hall it was a joy and privilege to sit. Not only an entertaining and powerful lecturer, but profound!

Just do the readings and you'll do fine! Funny professor, good tests, good grader. overall just make sure to do the readings and no the titles and authors and u should do fine. definitely recommend this class

so attendance is not required but its best you do go so you understand whats going on. buttt if you do the readings you'll be fine. I got a c an i got a 84 in the first tets and i dont think i did too well in the final.so if you read, youll do fine. so know the articles and main details. egh this class was ok, i perfer a class with more to grade on

Gives you 25 articles to read. Somewhat interesting. A midterm and final. Apparently, his final is like your grade as if your midterm doesn't even matter. During lectures, he repeats things we read on the article and the book. But do attend since he gives out reviews when it's almost exam day. Easy A if you read your materials. Take him!

Read all material before going to class, and listen to him talking about it. Questions are so straightforward, I was surprised at how easy the tests were. You have to read and understand the material. Overall great teacher.

If you go to class, pay attention and read, it is very easy because the midterm and final are very straight forward. He won't give you the answer to a question you have if it's right there in the reading because he wants to make students think. The articles and book were interesting even if his lectures were only half the time.

I barely came to class but still did well on all the tests because I read the material. His lectures are so boring and pointless. If you want a solid understanding of basic sociology this class won't give you that. It's super easy but I didn't learn much. Most of the class is just based on various articles. You have to know the titles and authors.

If you don't like to read then don't take this class. Reading comprehension and memorization are required to excel. I would've had an A but I got lazy and didn't do the last readings so I got a B+ instead. Going to class helps you remember key details from the readings, but they can be boring at times. The last reading were the toughest.

Excellent professor and wonderful human being. Thank you!

I had professor Levine for Sociology 101, Blues, Jazz and Rock and Roll which was an advanced class about the history of modern music, and an advanced tutorial at his request, as he indicated to me that he never does tutorials. He was a very inspirational teacher, and wants to bring the best out of his students. I enjoyed his classes immensely.

He's a nice guy. Lectures are just fine, a lot of readings, but articles are interesting. Be ready to read and memorize. 3 tests, first one is the hardest. Easy A.

gives 3 non cumulative multiple choice tests fairly easy and just reading articles in this class goes more in depth in lectures. review sheet is really helpful and if you do it you'll pass just read the articles. understanding if you talk to him.

Proffesor Levine, is an excellent proffesor with clear grading criteria. His lectures are very helpful for understanding the readings. He chooses topics that are both important and intersting. He makes lots of jokes to both help students stay interested and motivated.

You really just don't need to show up to class... He hands out sheets in the last 2-3 classes that are reviews for the test, and those are the test, word for word. Sometimes he'll ask a question or two based on the lectures. If you want to go just for those, then do it. Otherwise, it's fine. He just enjoys hearing himself talk.

I would definitely recommend professor Levine to all my friends as he is very patient and always ready to help students after class. He is very passionate about this subject and takes time to thoroughly explain the topics. If you come to class regularly and pay attention to the lectures, you'll be fine.

The class was quite helpful for learning current issues in society as we read many articles for homework and discuss them in lecture. Make sure you read in order to do well in the class (buy the reader at the beginning of the class!), come to lecture, and complete the review sheets so that you know what's going to be on the midterm and final.

Prof Levine is Awesome!! Helps you outside of class. Very funny keeps you engaged with his funny talks.

You have to buy a $25 book of readings. He only grades on the midterm and final, which require a lot of memorization. He does provide review sheets before the test, but some questions on the exams are specific points he only mentions in his lectures. Just write down everything he says, writes down or shows you (videos) and memorize titles and names

The SOC101 was not a bad experience for me. He gives 3 exams (ALL) which are based on the readings. The reading list which is only 25 dollars is the most important thing in the class and he will let you know that. If you participate, read and annotate the readings you will pass.

Basically the only thing you'll need is the $30 book of readings he assigns; the midterm and final will be on the readings. In the middle of the pandemic we transitioned to online, and he has been the most understanding prof throughout this. Legit told us dont worry about your grade, the most important thing right now is simply staying alive.

I loved this professor! Really funny guy and really lenient if you need anything - always accessible and there to help you. However, since you are graded solely on a midterm and final, make sure to read the book and attending lectures may help. The exams are not hard if you understood the reading to make sure to read and take notes on the articles
