His voice is just a little monotone, but overall, a very easy instructor to pass. Good for Human Sexuality as he balences out S. Johnson who is kind of all over the place.

Professor Dedic gives you all of the materials that you need to pass this class! The study guides and note packets are THE BEST. If you answer and religiously study the questions on the study guides then you are guaranteed to pass. There is one short paper about yourself and 2 EC opportunities! YOU WON'T REGRET TAKING HIM. He's a sweet old man.

Probably one of the best Sociology Professors out there. He is funny and keeps the class engaged. His study guides prep you for the chapter tests without a problem. Must be in class to watch the videos because questions about them are on each test. His sarcasm is the greatest! I'll be taking his Soc 250 class next semester.

Very nice professor! Knew nothing about sociology and learned alot from this class. This class will be easy if you study. The most hardest problems on exams were always the questions from the videos bc it was kinda hard to remember what was on the video.

Love professor Dedic, he has sense of humor and sarcasm! Also his tests are straight up based off his study guide, one small thing that can be a setback in this class is the videos that he shows everyday. Based off of 65 questions on his test, 15 are based off the videos he shows you in class, so make sure you attend his class! Would take him!

Dedic is a great professor that offers extra credit, and drops your lowest tg, so in other words, it's your fault if you don't get the grade that you want. Off subject, a lot of the students leave midway through the class and it is so disrespectful. I don't understand how a let of them are allowed to pass but whatever.

I highly don't suggest taking this teacher if the student wants to remember college from a positive perspective. I'm usually an A student

Prof. Dedic and his class is very simple. You show up, listen to the lecture, and then watch the video. Honestly, just play attention to the video since around 10 questions rely on the video material. There's one mandatory essay and lots of extra credit, so an A is easy to obtain. He's an extremely nice man and gives great feedback, so take him !
