Good teacher. Nice lecture notes. Would have been nicer if he didn't express his liberal view points and instead stick to just the facts. Some of his "spin" isn't the truth, just his opinion.

Great Professor! I hate sociology but he made it interesting and enjoyable. Full of energy and wants to help you succeed. His quizzes are kind of difficult but if you do the two extra credit papers your guaranteed and A. They seem stressful but they are worth it and easy if you follow his instructions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I enjoyed Gregg's class. He is very very clear about his expectations, and even specifically what you will be tested on. He is willing to recap previous lectures at the start of each class, and before each test. He offers a massive recap prior to mid term and final, including time outside class. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT PAPERS! I would take again.

Gregg was one of the best professors I had at Grossmont. Quizzes every other week along with a midterm and a final exam. There are also two optional papers I would highly recommend doing. He ALWAYS makes time for questions and goes above and beyond to explain seemingly difficult concepts. If you pay attention in class, you will succeed.
