That last review HAS to be a mistake. Either that or the person is just straight-up bulls**tting. Prof. Housen is the most knowledgeable, fun professor I have EVER had. His class is easy too, so any idiot that only takes easy classes is taken care of.
this professor is one of the best in any sociology class have I take with him. he make you feel involve, and whatever you have to say ids important to him. he is fair, and very informed. he is dedicated to his work, and you can see the passion for his job
I dont know what that other person was talking about. This professor is great. His test are easy and class is very fun and you get involved. Highly Recommemded.
Great teacher. Wonderfully intresting lectures. Makes you feel like you are at Harvard instead of Community Collage. I really cant stress how great the lectures are. Gives great notes and prepairs you for tests. One of the best teachers I have ever had.
An awesome professor, but he let the class discussions go off on tangents, which seemed to lead to confusion with about half of the students.
Great class. He's very down to earth and understanding, things not too many professors are these days. He treats the class like a forum, where each student can express his/her opinion. I highly recommend taking him.
Dr. Housen is very interesting and knowledgeable. His class is fun.
While he is really easy and helpful, he doesn't really teach to A students but to C students. You won't be challenged in this class. But if you just want an easy "A" than this is the class for you!
GREAT teacher, had a great time in class!!
I took his class and failed his exams had to drop them.
makes his lectures funny and interesting. great teacher!
He has an awesome personality, very personable, and is an over all Great Teacher. His "lectures" are no where near boring. Tests were not hard, but not easy, Gotta study! I enjoy goin to class everyday. TAKE HIM!
I ended up taking this class by accident when I did not need it, but I still really enjoyed it. Housen is such a good teacher. He seems like he works with you and cares about you if your are doing Gordon Rule. Tests are easy if you study some. Great lectures, not boring at all. Take him.
I enjoyed this teacher greatly, one of the best teachers at BCC. his tests are easy and his class are very enjoyable!!
kept me interested and enthusiastic
professor housen is one of the best teachers i have encountered at bcc.he is a very Sophisticated and knowledgable man. his lectures are so awesome. he has a great sense of humor and brings it out in his lectures.he keeps you interested.his tests are easy if you study. makes the material very clear
He's a wonderful professor. He's very funny and gives great lectures. I aced his tests just by listening to him Very easy A if you can learn by lectures, even easier if you need to study. He has his own study guide to buy and they follow the lectures and are on his tests.
Great Learning enviornmen...loved his class.
Very helpful and he makes the class so interesting. If I had a chance I would take this class again and again. I love this guy
tha best! i enjoyed his class very much. great stories and analogies make the info stick in your head. study his notes and youll pass with an A.
This professor is the best that I have taken since I have been in college. From the second I walked into class I was focused on what he was saying. He gives the exact lectures and examples in the class notes that are given on the test. If I could take this class again I would do so over and over.
Every Teacher should learn from this amazing man. You will never lose interest in his class. Take him and you will see education in a new way
i loved this guy. since the first day of class he is a very smart guy if u take this class you will not regret it even if you dont need this class i bet you will stay just to listen to his exciting stories. his quizzes are a breeze and the exam are easier. he is the best prof. i have had so far
Professor Housen as a way of teaching as to wear you enjoy going to the class and his manner of teaching allows you to understand what he is explaining. He has great illustrations.
Professor Housen was the best teacher I ever had. From day one every lecture was interesting and left you wanting more. As long as you show up to class and listen to his lectures the tests, quizzes and final exam are easy. I definetly recommend taking his class. You won't regret it!!!
excellent!
I would highly recommend taking Sociology with Prof Housen if it's required for your major. If you attend the lectures, the tests are extremely easy. I never cracked a book or studied, his tests are based 100% on the lecture. The only bad thing about him is he has some odd political conspiracy theory views that weirded me out. He is an easy A.
EXCELLENT teacher, his class was very interesting and you never have to really study. Exams are straight off of his lectures and he provides you with all the notes. I wish every professor could be as nice.
Excellent teacher. If you're looking for a fun teacher with easy tests and assignments then Housen is who you're looking for. Gives great illustrations.
Great teacher,most energy I have ever seen and cares deeply for every student,I still see him and talk with him about what is going on and he is still so nice,the absolute best teacher,everyone should take him. I wish i still needed to
This guy is excellent. He makes you want to learn. His test are right off his own study guide. Not that you'd want to but if you miss a class you miss some really good class discusssions. One of the best teachers at BCC. There are times when I did not want to go home. that's rare even for me since i'm usually the first to leave.
First class was awsome! After that, downhill. He kinda lost my interest which was disappointing after the high expectation he set with the first class. Then I dropped the class.
He is an amazing teacher. Every class taught me so much and you can use it out side of class. His test are easy if you study because he gives you notes and you just need to know them. I would strongly recommend taking his class. You will no regret it.
this is one of the best teachers that i have ever had. he gives you the notes in a workbook that you have to buy at the store and you dont even need the textbook because of how detailed he is. as long as you go to class you have a garanteed "A". TAKE HIM HES AWESOME!
HE IS A VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND ENJOYS TEACHING. HE MAKES ME ACTUALLY ENJOY LEARNING AND I GET INVOLVED.
The best class I've ever taken, very funny. His quizes & tests r easy. Gives a lot ex. and he's always joking. Makes it fun 2 learn... EASY A
This teacher is awsome!!! every class is very interesting you will always want to go to his class. He gives a lot of examples in every lesson. and the tests are based in the notes he gives in class,believe me, they are very easy, as well as his quizes. You will love this class if you take it.
Take this class flexible learning. It is so easy and you do not need 3 meetings a week to understand it if you have common sense. If you don't already know what a transvestite is you've got real problems. His class was the most stress free class ever and we only had to go for the midterm and final and watch some videos at home.
Very easy "A"
WONDERFUL, EXCELLENT, MAGNIFICANT, all of the above. HIGHLY recommended. He comes to every class meeting geared to teach his students. He inspired me to major in Sociology. Easy class. He is extremely helpful and considerate of his students. Builds great rapport w/ students. Professor of the Century.
one word.... AMAZING
He is an amazing teacher! He is very clear in what he teaches. You don't need to buy the book, the quiz's and tests are from the lectures. Very easy class. You will enjoy it!
Housen is the best professor I have ever taken. This is my second semester taking his class. When a professor makes you look foward to going to class, thats when you know its for real! He is amazing. Highly recommended
So Yeah... I really did not like his teaching style and i thought that he makes a lot of crude comments...and expects too much of his students...but other than that i thought he was okay.
THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I'VE HAD IN THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE ATTENDED.
A real TEACHER!!! Helped the students to really understand the concepts.
No Comments
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! gives great examples tat relates with chapters. must be able to go to every class and listen to his lectures (they are SOOO worth it) and take notes from his examples bc he uses then on the tests/quizzes. higly recommended. has a huge amount of knowledge for everything.
One of the best teachers at BCC! Outstanding!!!!!
ARE YOU FROM HERE???!?!? haha-- this guy is absolutely amazing at what he does.. from relationships to financial advice-- this man deserves the world!
jus go to class everyday. talk up in class he likes when you state your option
He makes you look forward to going to class and makes learning easy and fun. Tests are a breeze and class is enjoyable. He is well recommended!
i can't believe anyone (example on next page) could give this professor a bad rating. Housen makes it easy to make an A.. his workbook are his notes!! i have class at 9:30 am (really early for me) and i LOOK FORWARD to his course.. take him, you won't regret it.
I enjoyed this course. It is relevant to daily life and gave me a broader understanding of society. Prof. Housen is thought provoking, humorous, and has simplified the course to the benefit of the student.

one of the most amazing teachers i have ever had. hes not very easy but if you dont get something he will be happy to explain it..he is an amazing professor and gives you so much to learn about in daily life. i looked forward to going to his class everyday because i knew it would be interesting. i plan to take him again.
Amazing teacher. trulyloves his profession. And yes, you have to study for his tests, just like all tests in all subjects, but he will NEVER test you on something he didnt cover. you wont get As by just showing up. i took this course accelerated over summer A at 8am and he just made it so enjoyable i actually looked foward to his class. I got an A.
I sincerely enjoyed Professor Housens class. He is honestly the best teacher i have ever had and i will continue to take any class he offers. You will look forward to attending his classes. You don't need to buy the text book, just purchase Pro.Housens study guide book. I got A's on every test and quiz with just his notes and that book.
best teacher ever. there are no words to describe- i took general sociology and had to go back for his marriage and family class as an elective. he is such a nice professor with so much to teach that make students want to learn. if you are unsure about something he will explain it and helps you anyway he can. the best teacher i will EVER have.
HE IS GREAT!!! GO FOR IT TAKE HIS COURSE... YOU WONT REGRET IT. HE TIES EVERYTHING TOGETHER BY KNOTS INTO A BIG LONG ROPE SO YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GET LOST IN HIS CLASS!! BUY THE BOOK IF U PLAN TO MISS CLASS AND NOT MAKE ANY FRIENDS.. OTHER THAN THAT SAVE YOUR MONEY! EVERYTHING COMES RIGHT OUT OF HIS WORKBOOK! LOVES HIS JOB AND VERY WELL EDUCATED!
One of the best teachers I have ever met. Really into his profession, and his class is really interesting. It truly changes the way you view the world, and you become a better decision maker. If you are thinking to enroll SYG 2000 you have to take this professor, because his class is just so interesting. You'll love it.
COOLEST TEACHER EVER BORN!!!!!!!!!! MADE ME ENJOY GOING TO CLASS. EVERY CLASS IS FUN NEVER BORING. TEST AND EXAMS ARE EASY IF YOU STUDY. VERY FAIR WITH GRADES
HE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER MAKES CLASS VERY FUN AND INTERESTING. HE IS EASYGOING AND IS VERY UNDERSTANDING . HE IS FUNNY AND I CAN ALSO SAY ONE LEARNS ABOUT LIFE ALOT.
same as everyone else
Study for test from your workbook..you dont really need the hardcover book for studying.. (tests are sooo easy if u study) he has a great sence of humor and can teach you alot if you pay attention. Always in a good mood... one of the best teachers ive had so far. I recommend him
Great teacher, always makes you have an open mind, makes the class very interesting and easy to undersetand by comparing to life. Recomend Housen!
Great professor! Uses real life experiences to help you understand the "common sense" logics and definitions. Not boring at all, makes class fun. Easy tests and quizzes, drops your lowest test grade. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
GREAT PROF..LOVES TO GIVE LECTURES,BUT THEY ARE VERY INTERESTING..YOU DON'T NEED THE TEXT BOOK YOU DON'T USE IT..ITS A WASTE OF MONEY TRUST ME YOU ONLY USE THE THIN BOOKLET THAT HE PUBLISHED..
awesome teacher. extreamly interesting. The tests were not hard because he goes over everything in class, and u do not need the text book. i didnt open it once. just the blue workbook. As long as u go to class, and take notes with the workbook u'll get a good grade.
Amazing teacher!!! this class was so interesting i loved every single day of it. you want to go to class just because its so much fun, all u have to do is copy the powerpoint in your workbook and memorize the terms and thats basically the test, write down the examples he gives u too and know them its not hard at all and its fun at the same time.
housen is the best he keeps you interested you wanna keep going just to see what hes gonna do next... class is super easy as long as you get the lil workbook and bring it to class with you he goes through everything b4 tests and clarifies nething your unsure of right b4 the test... highly recommended i will def take him again as an elective
I was a bit skeptical prior to taking this class because I didn't know what to expext but I have to say if I could take it over I would. Each and every class is fun and interesting even if the topic isn't too interesting. Tests are strictly from his notes which you write into the workbook. TOTALLY RECOMEND HIM!!!!!!
Prof. Housen is an wonderful prof. Every class there was something interesting we learned. Very interactive. Absolutely recomend
This is the best teacher i have evver had! He makes everything so intresting and he provides examples for all those who don't understand . Don't bother buying the textbook but you MUST get the workbook (his tests are straight from it) HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!
He is very helpfull, insightfull, and a winner allaround.
He is a great teacher! You take notes off of power point. He is very insightful. He is a great prof. I enjoyed going to his class very much. You do some cool inclass assignments. Study the notes..you do have quizes and tests. They are not bad at all. Take him! You'll love the class too!
Great teacher, easy and helpfull

Wonderful teacher. I like him a lot. Class isn't over yet but I expect to be getting an A. He has great stories that pertain to the subject matter. Class is always interesting...never a dull moment. Very helpful if you need it. I highly recommend this class.
Take Prof. Housen for SYG2000! You wont regret it! He's one of the best Prof's i've had in college. He makes class so fun and easy. The text is hardly ever used. I've only used the workbook(which he designed) for studying and I've gotten A's on all the quizzes and tests. He explains everything word for word. Quizzes are super easy. TAKE HIM!
Housen is the best!!! I LOVED this class! He explains everything perfectly and the quizes and tests are easy. He is extremely nice and teaches in a way that makes you think and realize things you never noticed. I'm going to miss this class!!
LOVE HIS CLASS..... and the best thing is that he makes it fun and interesting
He is the best. He makes the class intersting from the first day you walk in. All his notes is from the workbook and his tests and quizzes. I bought the book and end up returning it before the class ended. Take him he is great!!!!!!!

HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD. i loved his class. his class is very interesting and fun. i actually learn alot things. he only uses work book so don't buy the text book its going to waste of money. take his class if can. best prof.
THE BEST PROF/CLASS I'VE EVER HAD! He knows his stuff and knows it well. Explains everything clearly, and gives examples to make it even clearER. At times, he allows the class to engage in VERY interesting discussions. My only regret is that I took him for the summer - it's a very nice class to take for a full length term. ONLY BUY THE WORKBOOK!
Honestly the best professor I have ever had. He is always willing to help students and explains everything clearly. There is never a boring moment and you take so much out of the class. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this professor. I am looking to take another class with him.
OUT OF ALL MY YEARS IN SCHOOL I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. HE ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE AND MAKES THE CLASS SOO INTERESTING. I NEVER WANTED TO MISS A CLASS. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND HE MADE HIS OWN WORKBOOK THAT HE GOES BY SO DONT EBVEN BUY THE BOOK FOR THE CLASS BECAUSE WE NEVER USED IT. HE IS AN A+ TEACHER!!
Amazing professor!!!!!he is willing to help you in any way he can even though you pretty much won't need any extra help because his lectures are very clear and everything on the tests come directly from the workbook. He's always in a great mood and every class is more interesting than the last one...Definitely recommend him!
I'LL never forget him.. very clear!!!! everything discussed in class was so interesting that no one needed to study to get an A!!!!!! he gives real life examples so everyone can understand!! I wish all my professors were just like professor Housen love him RECOMMEND him to everyone
Prof. Housen is the best teacher I have ever had! He is funny, keeps your attention and great at explaining things. He is a wonderful man and has a huge heart!
Housen was the best. Best teacher I've ever had. You can tell that he really loves what he does and that makes his class a lot more fun. Sometimes a little hard to understand b/c of his accent. I would recommend his class to anyone. We didn't use the text once...just a workbook HE WROTE!!!
I love Prof.Housen..his class was interesting and fun, it makes you want to attend.because of him i fell in love with the subject. he has so much to share and enjoys listening to others. participation make him very happy!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROFESSOR AT BROWARD COLLEGE. THIS PROFESSOR MAKES HIS CLASS SO INTERESTING AND FUN. I ENJOYED GOING TO HIS CLASS OVER THE SUMMER. I WISH I WOULD OF TAKEN HIS CLASS FOR FALL BECAUSE I AM SURE HE CAN MAKE YOU LEARN A LOT MORE. THIS PROFESSOR SHOULD BE TEACHER OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR. YOU GO HOWARD YOUR A WINNER!!!!!!
Loved him!!! I took him in 2006 and He's still my favorite! Easy, fun, interesting, helpful, and his stories are entertaining.
Good professor not hard to get an A or B just do your studying **must buy expensive handbook**
I love prof. housen. He is a great teacher and the class is lots of fun and is very interesting. I tend to text a lot in class but in his class my phone is always off. He keeps you interested at all times and his workbook is very helpful. If you go to class and pay attention you will pass the tests. he is the best teacher!!!
Make sure you're there for lectures, work is not hard, basically every thing is in a workbook he wrote. He works with you even if you're doin bad, he tries to help bring you on point. Tests are not hard. Just pay attention. Just a little bit of effort and doing your work on time can get an easy A.
Very good Prof. dont use textbook he has his own personal book he wrote buy that one. tests are hard if you only study definitions, u need to know how to use them in examples then its easy. really fun teacher.. just relax and have fun!!!
MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR AT BC!! HE KNOWS HIS MATERIAL AND IS VERY CLEAR. AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR WORK AND STUDY HIS NOTES YOU WILL GET AN A!! DON'T REALLY NEED THE TEXTBOOK BUT YOU DO NEED THE WORKBOOK THAT HE PERSONALLY WROTE. HANDS DOWN TO THE BEST SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR AT BC!!!
He's an amazing professor. He's very helpful and wants you to learn, which in turn will assist you in getting an A in the class. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
Awesome teacher!! Very easy to see how much he loves what he teaches. Interacts with the class to learn the concepts better. Study the notes and packets he hands out and you'll get an A. I didn't study so much and got a B. Definately would recommend him to everybody.
AWESOME teacher, I can't even explain how great he is. BEST college class I have ever taken!!!! TAKE THIS CLASS!!! you will LOVE it! You will learn so much and just enjoy, more prof need to be like him!!!
AMAZING!! That sums up the professor and the class! He makes the class so fun and interesting and the tests are based out of your workbook. LOVED this class!!!
The best Professor ever!!! He makes learning so easy. All tests are easy. Just go over your notes from class and you'll do fine. Just remember to study. I got an "A".
He made learning fun. His class was always interesting and i never had the urge to fall asleep. Just study your notes from the workbook for the test and quizzes. Buying the textbook is a waste of money. I would take this class over again if i could. Housen is my favorite teacher a BC.
I absoulutely love Prof. Housen. He was informative and used stories from his life experiences to help you identify with what he was teaching. If Sociology was not your thing he make you want to learn more about it.
The best professor I had so far you will understand socialogy by time you finish the class.
He's full of life stories and sexual innuendos but he lacks the ability to really teach the stat facts or anything i feel useful. Hes also very bias and teachs from personnel experience only.
Excellent teacher. Amusing. KeepS class interesting. You can get by just with his workout. Don't bother buying book.
i loved this teacher. he is so funny and insightful about everything. he made his own workbook for this class and as long as you buy that you do not need to buy the textbook. he keeps the whole class enthralled and interested and makes class fun. the tests are right out of the workbook. easy A! he is definitely the best teacher ive ever had.
he is a awesome professor, very interesting!
awesome
Let's just say, I loved him so much that I'm taking a class that I don't even need just so that I can take a class with him again!!! Woo hoo I've never been so excited about a class!
Amazing professor! He will keep you SO interested that you will NEVER want to leave his class! I HIGHLY recommend him, he is just an incredible professor! :D
awesome prof
Awesome teacher! Very helpful, funny, and makes class a great time for all! I have him for SYG2000 and I am expecting an A!!!! Like anyone, if you do your part, they will help you! I will be sorry to see the term end! Best Sociology teacher ever!
Aesome teacher!!! I have him currently for SYG2000, and I expect to get an A!! His tests and quizzes seem so easy and logical. Study the handouts, read the book, and COME TO CLASS ON TIME!!! His lectures are very exciting and interesting. Do your best in and outside of class, and you'll be fine!! Mr. Housen is the best SYG2000 teacher!!
HAD THIS PROFESSOR THIS PAST TERM AND HE WAS AWWWWWWWWESOME!!!!! HIS TEST AND QUIZZES WERE CRYSTAL CLEAR.DO NOT MISS A CLASS BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE MENTION WILL APPEAR ON THE TEST/QUIZ. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THE BOOK . I DID NOT OPEN IT NOT ONCE AND I PASSED WITH A HIGH "B". OVERALL THIS WAS THE BEST CLASS I TOOK SINCE AT BC.
The best professor I have ever had. HE is witty, funny and definitly knows what he is talking about. I almost wish I had failed sociology so I can take it with him again. Make sure you get his workbook and take notes in the class and you will be fine
HILLARIOUS is the best word to describe him. He loves to teach and you can't miss that. You won't pass without the Workbook. If you are satisfied with a "B" then don't buy the Textbook, if you want an "A" u need the Textbook. There are little facts in the Text that are the difference between an A & B. Lectures are vital - don't miss class.
I LOVED GOING TO THIS CLASS. I ACTUALLY HAD A GREAT TIME LEARNING. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAD EVER. THE CLASS IS VERY EASY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION, AND TAKE SOME NOTES. THE TEST AND QUIZ ARE BEYOND EASY. I STUDIED 30 MINS BEFORE THE TEST/QUIZES AND ALWAYS PASSED. DONT BUY THE BOOK,BUT BUY THE WORKBOOK ITLL HELP!
Trust me. Go and book your class with professor Housen. He is AWESOME:) You will not regret it. GO.NOW. AND JOIN.
Never in my life have i been excited to go to class. He is a great teacher and i recommend him to everyone.
Hes the best teacher ever. I wish all teachers were as good as him. Class was super fun and i enjoyed going everyday i wish i could have him again
I had him for both sociology and marriage and families, he was the best professor/teacher I have ever had in my life. He made you never want to miss class. topics were very interesting and his class is an easy A.
Very Great teacher! You do not need the book just his notes to study. Keeps class interesting, you have conversations.
One if he wasn't married he would so be my type and he's like 20 years older lol. He is very interesting, well spoken and a charming fellow. Professional, class is fun, and the man got SWAGG lol, you won't regret taking him.
Prof. Housen is absolutely the most amazing teacher of all the time!! Keeps the lecture lively, and interesting. Never a dull moment, and always willing to help you out! You get to have fun while you learn, the only bad thing is the limited class time! There was always more to discuss, just never enough time :(! Super recommend!!!
No need to buy the textbook, everything he tests on it either lectured/in the workbook. So much fun if you're in a vocal class, he loves to get off topic but still covers material.
Great teacher. Understanding and very helpful. Funny to. The other teachers can learn alot from him. The stories are the best.
Take Him!!! He is the best Teacher i have taken so far. you will learn a lot in his class. This is how college professor should be like. NO TEXTBOOK needed, you can buy his workbook though. his texts and quizzes are on what he talks about in class. YOU WONT REGRET TO TAKE HIS CLASS!
TAKE HIM!!! HE MAKES CLASS SO FUN & INTERESTING. IT IS PRETTY EASY TOO. THERE ARE MULTIPLE IN CLASS ASSIGNMENTS WITH MULTIPLE QUIZZES, 3 TESTS, AND AN ENDING PROJECT, BUT LIKE I SAID, THEY ARE PRETTY EASY. YOU DO NOT NEED THE TEXTBOOK. HE USES HIS OWN NOTES AND POWERPOINTS TO LECTURE AND ALL WORK IS BASED OFF THAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
Professor Housen is an amazing teacher and is the best sociology professor ever! I took him and he made me want to go to class everyday. His lectures are always interesting and he gives you handouts for each section. You have 4 quizzes and 4 tests. Easy A! I recommend him for anyone!
Professor Housen is awesome! Super fun class. You have to buy the workbook which will help in studying for all the quizzes and tests. The class is really interesting and you learn a lot. Would recommend him to everyone!
love him so much! he really does care about your grade! take him if you can!!
Professor Housen is AMAZING. Every lecture in his class is important, so don't miss a class. He will go through a segment and relate it to your life, which definitely helps you learn the material. During the tests you think of the examples he gave and use those to answer the questions. Tests and quizzes are straightforward. Best professor EVER!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I took him for general sociology too! He has never given below a C, just study for the tests and quizzes and take notes! HIs powerpoints are super easy to read, and he prints them out and gives them to you. You must take this class!
Amazing teacher. Every lecture uses real world examples that stick with you. This class made me love sociology. I never studied for a test and got an A from listening to the lectures and filling in the study guide as he taught. Class was fun and enlightening.
HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! Attendance isn't mandatory but believe me you will choose to go to class! Keeps you interested at all times. The class almost feels too short. You Lear a lot quizzes are easy as well as test! Easy A.
Professor Housen is by far the best educator I've ever had. All the positive comment ring true. He relates your issues to the information required to learn. He makes class so enjoyable that we've even stayed in our seats 20 minutes after class has ended just because a certain topic discussed was so interesting.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! MAKES THE CLASS FUN & INTERESTING! YOU REALLY LEARN! ENCOURAGES PARTICIPATION IN CLASS. QUIZZES ARE EASINESS! TESTS, EVEN EASIER BECAUSE THEY'RE FROM HIS WORKBOOK. I PASSED WITH AN "A" WITHOUT THE TEXT BOOK. GET THE WORKBOOK AND FILL IT OUT EVERY CLASS, HE COLLECTS THEM FOR EXTRA CREDIT. HAVE FUN!!!
I never review professors, but I had to make an exception! This man is influential and a great speaker! Follow along every class, and you'll recieve an A. Best class I've taken at BC to date. 3 tests and a final, lowest test grade removed, TAKE THIS CLASS!
Professor Housen is THE BEST!! Hes very engaging and hes got alot of interesting stories that are relevant to the topic hes talking about. His tests are easy, if you study the notes you'll get an A. Make sure you buy his workbook b/c he gives you extra credit at the end for completing it. The textbook isnt really mandatory, never used in class.
This was the second class I've taken with him. He is a brilliant professor and here ally is interesting in the stuff he teaches. He is the reason why I chose sociology to be my major! If you haven't taken a class with him, I suggest do so ASAP. Your mind will be so open about so many things. I am going to miss this class!!
oh my gosh. best class i've ever taken, best professor ive ever had. he will not make life hard for you and will leave you not wanting to miss a single class. i never missed on of his classes beause they were so interesting and inspiring. TAKE HIM. tests aren't that hard just review the material and you will be fine.
Professor Housen is amazing! He is always in a good mood and he is concerned about his students!I was undecided about my major, but after attending Professor Housen's class I am now a Sociology major. One person can make a difference and he was that one person!
Professor Housen has my respect not only as a teacher but as a person. You will leave his class with an entirely new outlook in life. He makes sure his classes aren't boring and he is very understanding. I recommend him.
An amazing professor. I would recommend him to anyone! He is very clear and very entertaining as well. He knows how to draw in his students and keep their attention. Truly LOVE his class.
This is the 2nd course I have taken with him. He is the best professor ever because he uses examples from everyday life to help you memorize material. He is extremely helpful,he not only wants you to pass the class,but also understand and enjoy the material. He is one of those professors that can make an impact on your life and change your outlook.
I was recommended by another classmate to take this course and Im glad I did. This course is the only course I have ever taken that can be used in everyday life and helps to be a better person. It was such an enjoyable class that has helped my life change. Absolutely recommend anyone to take this class.
Professor Housen is the best teacher ever. he truly cares about every student grade and he ensures that eveything is crystal clear. He devotes his undivided attention to each and every student. He is not a big fan of using the textbook but for those student who does he makes reference from the outline that he uses to the book .HE'S THE BEST!!!!
One of the best teaches at Broward College! So entertaining and very enthusiastic, he keeps the conversation and lecture interesting. I have taken him for sociology and his marriage and family class. You will learn so much without being bored. Tests are all on his powerpoints so if you go to class and study the handouts you will get an A!
Hands down best professor ever! He is very thorough in his teaching, but not only that, he makes learning the material fun. His attendance isn't mandatory, but class discussions are so good that you wont want to miss class.
I truly enjoyed this class with Housen. You don't need the textbook but get his workbook, at the end if the semester he using it for 10 pts extra credit. Tests and quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention and ask questions. Big 7 page writing assignment at the end but it is about yourself.
By far one of the BEST professor I've taken at bC! He is AMAZING I'm constantly talking about him and his class outside of his class cause the way he presents the topics are just fascinating! Would love to sign up for more class but too bad that was my last semester at BC! You all need to take his class you will appreciate someone who can teach!!
Best instructor ever, he really cares about his students! He makes class extremely interesting. But he can only do so much the class must be willing to participate in the discussion and debates!! .take him you won't be disappointed!
Great professor!! He's very passionate about what he teaches, and he doesn't just lecture, he involves you in what he's teaching. Very helpful, and understanding... Take his class!
One of the best professors at B. He will change your life and your perspective on it. TAKE him you would be a fool not too. I wish I could take him again & again
One of the best teachers here at BC. Always willing to help and WANTS you to succeed. Tells his students to keep in touch and let him know they choose the right path for life. Take him not hard at all
He is the greatest of all time. Professor Housen, takes the art of lecturing to another level. If you miss a class, he will allow you to attend another. all you have to do is ask... He wants his students to succeed in life and in his class. Do not miss is lectures and Print out your power points it will appear on test. Critical thinking at it best.
Best teacher at BC! I didn't know sociology was so interesting and you won't want to miss any lectures.Print ppts before class and take notes. Tests are easy just study the notes, do the assignments and you'll be fine.There's a big essay at the end that's time consuming but it's about yourself. I wish there were other classes I could take with him!
Amazing teacher. I recommend his class to everyone. Lectures are interactive so be ready to voice your thoughts but his examples really help you learn the material. Tests and quizzes are pretty easy as well. barely used the textbook, his lecture notes are basically all you need if you pay attention in class. Also gives extra credit for workbook.
I didn't know what to expect the first day in his class but he definitely surprised me. He knows his stuff for sure. He explains everything with crystal clear examples. Very interesting and always keeps your attention. Best professor Ive ever had on campus!!! I wish he taught every subject because I would definitely take his class again!!!
By far the best Professor I've had the luxury to meet. Since the first day of class he grabbed everyone's attention, his lectures were so enthralling that one hour simply didn't feel like enough time to learn. Amazing.
He's an amazing professor person, he's helpful and great at what he does. He gives hope for other sucky teachers.
Great professor who has clarity when he teaches. Listen to his lectures and study from his power points and you will get an A in the class.
Professor Housen is one of the best professors I have encountered. I wish more professors taught like him. I took this course before and got a D with a different professor and I really didn't grasp the subject but Professor Housen's lecture approach is phenomenal and I now love the subject. I would recommend taking his class.
BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD AT BROWARD COLLEGE! All you have to do to ace the class is show up and pay attention. It's not hard, his lectures are very engaging and I've never left class without laughing at least once. If every professor taught like him the world would be a better place. TAKE HIM!!!
Best professor in BC! Semi-easy A. His lectures are literally amazing! He makes class fun and everything he teaches you pertains to real life situations with CLEAR examples. You do 4 tests & 4 quizzes. The test are semi hard but the quizzes are easy. STUDY THE LECTURE NOTES FOR AN A+! Also, do his extra credit book while he lectures, easy points.
He is one of my favorite professors for sure and he clearly wants everyone to learn and succeed. There is plenty of tests and quizzes but if you study then they will be a breeze. While also being fairly easy to succeed, you actually truly learn stuff in this class. I highly recommend this professor, I say take him while you can.
Pay attention in class. The lecture notes are very helpful, the workbook helps, and read the book (just what was discussed in class). If he explains something not in the lecture notes, look it up. You will be engaged, have deep debates, and be taught some useful life lessons. Please study, it's mostly memorization and examples go a long way.
Professor Housen is an amazing teaching. His lectures are always interesting and makes learning Sociology easy. You have to pay attention, but his notes are clear and his tests are simple enough. Amazing and funny teacher.
HONESTLY BEST PROFESSOR EVER! helpful, makes class fun, inspiring, notes are clear, easy tests and quizzes, amazing class and amazing professor! he is the best.! recommend taking for marriage and family to anyone!
Professor Housen is the best professor at BC. From the 1st moment of class on day 1, his passion for sociology, and fantastic use of voice will capture your attention. He motivates us to learn and ask questions, we are constantly debating and discussing. didnt touch the text book because his workbook and notes were enough! Already missing his class
He was the most inspiring teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from.
Dr Howard Housen is the most brilliant, confident, and awesome professor I have had so far. His passion for Sociology is just amazing, and his class is very entertaining. Therefore, you will look forward to attend every class. Study his power points, and take notes and you will do excellent in his class. I was very, very sad when this class ended.
Professor Housen is my favorite professor. 2 years in college, and have never had such a great professor. His lectures are amazing, he is very passionate about sociology, and he is great at what he does. There is no reason as to why you should not take his class. He is the best, You will not want to miss his lectures!!
It is a shame Professor Housen is retiring. One of the greatest professors a student could ask for. Amazing lectures and very inspirational.
One of my favorite professors thus far, I will soon graduate with a bachelors in political science and his teachings have influenced me for the better. This is truly a professor who cares about you and your future, there are not many like this.
