Cant understand him. Test grammar needs some serious work, the test questions dont make much sense & he offers no explanation so they are difficult. He often changes his mind w/out telling the class and doesnt follow the syllabus. As a whole:do the work, & do it on time,work hard, and do the the extra credit (he offers a lot) and youll be set.

I was bored out of my mind! I adore the social sciences but he was so elementary about it so I didnt feel challeneged. Furthermore he has papers due so frequently and the worst part is that they are only worth the SMALLEST fraction of your grade. He is a VERY nice person, I would recommend him for those with NO prior knowledge of social science.

He says a bunch of dumb things, such as saying people can't lose their jobs on false rape accusations. He's hard to understand, as he's from Ghana, but he'll let you record his lectures if you ask, so that's nice. My advice: Beware.

Professor Isaac was easy going throughout the semester. He gives a lot of assignments, but grades easy as long as you do the work or his instructions. The only thing that I did not enjoy in this class were all the tests, which seemed to be a constant struggle to keep up with.

Isaac's class was extremely easy and one of the only classes I enjoyed showing up to. You don't need to read, but it helps in the class. The best part about that is he has the text book, PP, and assignments online. The examples he gives in class stick because they're personable. Con: He has bad handwriting. Which he knows so, he doesn't write much.

Easy grader, which is good, but I also did not learn anything. His D2L is unorganized, hard to understand what's happening at any given time. Don't take if you can avoid it.

Do not take ANY online courses with him. His layout makes no sense and is difficult to follow. I frequently got 0s bc he doesn't allow late work and i had no idea what was due. His syllabus is different than the due dates on the assignments and does not respond to emails for WEEKS. Some assignments he doesnt include rubrics and refuses to elaborate

I love Professor Addai. Pay attention, stay off your phone, do your homework, and you will be fine. He tells great stories, which are quite the plus. Also gives an interesting and fresh perspective on American Sociology, as hes an immigrant. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

Super easy to talk to and really helpful. He is always available outside of class and he covers all the material really well so you are prepared for tests (I'm an average student and I found them quite easy) and always has extra credit options.

Do not take this class with him online! His d2l is the most confusing thing I've ever seen, every type of assignment (quiz, test, assignment, discussion) is under different, not clearly defined tabs. Nothing is under content except the online reading and discussions. There is no set schedule provided. He will not accept ANY late work.

I do understand the negative reviews she has because she/he is a tough grader. However, here is my stance, No matter how opposite you are from a professor, they need to be treated with respect, from Odyssey Online criticizing how some students roast professors. Just as Psalm 1, Proverbs, Micah 6:8, Isaiah 53, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 13, Scripture.

He was very hard to get in touch with, had to follow up on emails a few times and even then he did not respond to the full original email. He was very gracious with grading, I got pretty much all 100's in assignments. Most of his testing material is pretty straightforward, but questions are worded weirdly as he's foreign and not great with English
