When I started to take soci 337 (youth) I thought it would be interesting, Philipzig killed everyhing that could be fun about this class, he has to have the last word, making students feel like they dont want to speak up. why would you when he will either cut you down, or take credit his movie analysis`on youth are reaching for straws at best RUN
He made this class suck. I was unimpressed with the way he taught the class, how he always cuts people off, and how even when you say the right thing, he turns it around (says the same damn thing!) and maks it like he said it first. HATE this class with him, might have been good if it was not him!
Presents a very one dimensional view that best illustrates the point he is trying to make. Completely wrong prof for a sociology class. His attitude discouraged discussion and made this the most boring sociology class.
Very nice guy. He was very helpful with group projects and was willing to answer student's questions. Easy exams. Unfortunately though, his class was very boring and hardly anyone showed up for them or answered any questions which made things kind of awkward. He also recommends 4 differnt textbooks which we never actually used so don't buy them.
If you want a free GPA boost take his class. If you want to actually learn something, don't bother. Nice guy though.
Nice prof, interesting information and well-designed classes.
Nice guy, boring lecture, took him 2 classes to go through the course outline and future assignments guidelines. Attending class will help with his tests since it's all based on lecture and there is no specific textbook. Did not find him very engaging. Class could have been better.
Nice guy, but really hard to follow his lectures, takes a long time for him to get his point across. He doesn't use the most interesting methods.
Jan is one of the best profs I have ever had. Although his lectures tend to drone on at points, it's very interesting material. The textbook isn't necessary for the course. He is super helpful for outside assistance as well. Also a VERY fair marker. He is the best! I would highly recommend him as a prof!
Pretty nice teacher. Says some funny stuff here and there. The class was quite boring. I literally would feel my eyes closing. His midterms are pretty fair in my opinion if you read over the notes and the textbook you'll be guaranteed a 70 at least.
The material is interesting but in all honesty he makes the class boring. On the plus side he's super helpful during office hours so go see him. Basically his class is one midterm an essay, a group project and the final
Such a boring, easy class. Easy GPA booster. I learned cool things. Like, teenagers can sometimes be hormonal. If you have common sense and read over the notes AND CLASS SUMMARIES he puts on blackboard, you should get a good grade. He is kind, but boring.
Easy class and I barely attended. His powerpoints were easy to follow on your own. Lectures can get long and boring but he's helpful outside of class and always willing to answer questions. Presentations sucked because you couldn't pick your partners which made it annoying to deal with unreliable people. Overall I enjoyed his class.
Rude and unhelpful. If you don't agree with his opinion he shuts you down. People say its an easy gpa booster but that is only if you want a B. Class discussions have little relevance to youth - more like history class and economics class. Would never take another course with him again. I have never hated a sociology class as much as i did this one
Great prof. Really helpful, and encourages students to meet him in offices hours. He gives you every opportunity to succeed you just have to take advantage of all of the resources supplied. Easy A so long as you apply yourself and do the work. You can't expect to float along (as you shouldn't in university anyway). REALLY, fair marker too.
REALLY fair marker. Encourages class discussion, but will sometimes cute students off when they are going on and on, but I really appreciate that. Group presentations, and you don't get to choose your partner, but in both classes I have had with him I have aced the presentations, and they were a lot of fun, and he always has good topics.
His lectures were super ambiguous, and they do not tell you what you should expect to know for the midterm or final. He grazes the surface on topics and doesn't encourage students to discuss, yet he expects you to be super detailed within a short essay response. You would be better off with another professor
Class is kinda boring, don't really have to show up he just reads from his slides which he posts after each chapter, goes on too long on examples for certain topics.
His lectures are very boring! But he's a fair marker and as long as you study you'll do good on the tests.
I personally found Sociology interesting. All the midterms were fair and even posted sample multiple choice questions beforehand. He won't post notes until the end of the chapter but you'll be better off if you attend class. Write down what he says and READ THE TEXTBOOK. His tests come right from the publisher! I got 100 on 2/3 midterms.
He is a really nice guy. But his tests are often statistic based opposed to the concepts which is kind of annoying.
Has a bit of an accent but has no problem repeating himself or starting over for you. Super sweet guy and you can tell he likes the topics. Likes getting into discussions and hearing what you have to say rather than just lecturing. Really likes when you can explain in your own words, so know your stuff.
Jan is super understanding and always there to help. Didn't give and quizzes or assignments, only midterms. His exams were quite straightforward and he provides very useful and simple notes which really help with the tests.
Mr. Philipzig is an insightful instructor with good sense of the dynamics of the material included in the course.
This class is very straight forward. His power points are clear and organized, and his tests are very fair. Easy class, helpful prof, would recommend.
Very straightforward class and clear grading criteria. I also appreciated how accommodating he was. I was very sick for a couple weeks and he deferred my midterm twice, always responding quickly via e-mail. Also, he will take the time to explain concepts outside of class, which was very helpful. He clearly knows what he's talking about.
I loved his class! He is so sweet and adorable. I found the material interesting and his lecture slides were clear and concise. This class was only graded on 3 midterms and a final, which I loved since there wasn't any homework. Take notes and go over the chapters in the text book while studying and the exams will be no problem.
He is boring.. takes a long time to go through each slide which makes it hard to follow. He then puts the power points on black board. You basically need to teach yourself the material.
Jan's not bad. It wasn't necessary to go to class as everything he taught was straight out of the textbook.
I did not even need to show up to this class, i could just use the powerpoint notes he posted and have done better. Did not pay attention at all in his class because it was so boring! Highly do not recommend!
This class was fairly straightforward, if you show up you will do better on the midterms. The course was marked on three midterms and the finals, so it was necessary to do well on those even if you struggled to understand a concept. He knew what he was talking about, and was kind and respectful.
Posts notes online, so if you miss class you won't be behind notes wise but you might miss out on an important discussion. Practice midterms are nothing like the in class midterms so I would not bother. Also important to read the textbook and in class notes, and pay attention to the names and theories. Definitely better sociology teachers out there
Jan lets random students take over the lecture over irrelevant topics. He only goes through like 4 slides per class and he has such vague information on them that you have to listen to everything he says in order to understand it. He has vague grading criteria and relies solely on statistics memorization rather than understanding concepts.
He'll spend over 15 mins per slide in a 50 minute lecture. He'll realize there's only 10 minutes left of the lecture because he's been rambling too much & then will power through 5 slides in those 10 minutes, on top of that, because he talks so f'in much he'll take up an extra 3 minutes over the class time making you late for your next lecture.
If you just read the notes he gives out, you might not get the grade you're looking for.
He was good at touching the surface of a topic. Read the chapter before going to his lecture and it'll be a breeze. Go to class, he will talk about some things that are not in the textbook. He tries to be engaging but it never really happened (It was an 8am class). It can be boring but if you show up and read the textbook, you'll do great.
Jan is not a bad prof and he knows what he's talking about, but be ready to be bored in the lectures. He's not the most engaging speaker, but he does clearly cover the material you need to succeed in the class. With that said, to do well you're going to want to read the textbook chapters in their entirety and add to his notes, which he shorthands
Jan is an extremely nice prof but he is so boring. The notes are all posted on his powerpoints which is good because I usually zone out when he's lecturing. The exams are pretty straight forward and all have the same criteria. I wish I could say better things about him because he is so sweet but his lectures put me to sleep.
overall a good prof, made life much easier honestly! no assignments all midterms, all of his notes are posted online so a win win situation. If you read the textbook and read his power points you'll get an A!
His lectures are all online and he just reads off his slides.
He puts all his class slides online and is very educated in sociology - can answer every question you have about the topic. He is a very kind and understanding person. Unfortunately, his classes are a drag, I've almost fallen asleep a few times and I find myself tuning him out half the time. I could honestly pass the class without going to it.
His lectures are all online and he just reads off his slides. He mumbles a lot as well. Class is not mandatory and its not even worth going to. He is very dry but it is an easy class to pass.
Very boring. Just reads off slides. Class is not mandatory. Also has a thick accent and is hard to understand. He gave 3 midterms and a final. He expects you to read the entire textbook on your own, and know all of it. His tests are dumb, he wants you to know stupid little things. Do not recommend
Reads off slides. And expect you to answer the 2.5 marks questions thoroughly, backed with data, history, definition etc. Avoid him in all situations.
Jan was a decent prof. Nice guy, always updated his slides onto blackboard; although his lectures were dry. (Intro course though, I figured I couldn't expect much.) I personally enjoyed the course content and I am taking another sociology class with him for the winter term. Great intro course instructor, very friendly and never felt uncomfortable.
Rated difficult because its hard to even care about this class. His lectures are SO beyond boring... hes the worse prof Ive had so far and Id avoid at all costs. He goes on and on about something and you forget what hes even talking about. He goes through maybe 4 slides in 50 mins. Just overall hard to do well and material is so dry.
I think Jan's low rating is a little crazy! I thought he was a really good prof and all of his lectures pertained to the exams, overall good prof! Would take another class with him
Jan makes this course so much harder than it has to be. He has no clear grading rubric for the group project, despite going to see him in his office. His lectures are painfully boring, and goes through only 4 slides per 50 minute class. There are way better profs out there for Soci and it's a shame that he's teaching this discipline. Thumbs down.
Attendance isn't mandatory as he posts the slides. 3 midterms and a final was all that was graded. If you study from the textbook and add to your notes from it you'll do good because the tests relate to the notes and the textbook. Didn't use the textbook in class but I found it helpful when studying and he has some questions from it on exams.
While lectures might be a bit boring, he is very caring and is very clear in what he needs you to know. He gives sample questions for exams and is very clear on his expectations. Read the textbook, but his slides do cover everything. He really makes sure he prepares you for the essay. The group project is easy and he wants you to succeed.
idk i liked jan, his lectures can be kinda dry and he does go off on some tangents but honestly i thought he was a pretty good prof! he is obviously very well educated in sociology and can answer basically any question you give him. only problem was his grading criteria on the group project was incredibly unclear (fair marker tho)
Jan is an AMAZING professor. He is a very kind man, who understands your circumstances if needed. His tests are SO EASY as they're mainly from this notes, which he posts. The representation he has on this forum is highly biased. I would highly recommend him! Great guy and wonderful professor! He is passionate about what he teaches!
Jan is a nice guy, the only issue I had was that the lectures got a little lost. He would go on and on and on about 1 slide and it would be hard to take notes or retain anything he was saying. I personally found it helpful to read my textbook after every lecture to find the key points of what was said in class.
Jan was a decent guy and means well but the course is so dry. If youre not interested and want the easy grade choose another prof. Only graded based off 4 tests (3 MT & final) and the lecture takes forever (he talks very slow) also he says textbook is mandatory but it is not used in class and you are expected to read it on your own time.
Lectures are boring and if you read the textbook you can get a decent mark, but a few things are not in the powerpoint slides or the textbook that he says in lectures that are included on the test. Three midterms and the final are the only marks in the class.
He is a nice guy who gives fair exams. HIs lectures were boring. I learned the course material myself. In order to succeed, you need to read the textbook and know all the definitions in his notes. would take again.
Jan is a very nice prof. He gives you feedback on the optional essays and on your midterms too. You need to read the book and his notes. He post review questions for 1st and 2nd midterm. You do not get review Qs on 3rd midterm and finals. Jan reads off the slides but if you need extra help go to his office hours. He marks short answers easy.
His midterms cover both his slides but also textbook stuff so if you review both, you'll ace the course. He's super passionate about what he's teaching, midterms are fair and the final had questions from the midterms. Just don't forget to read the textbook chapters !
Jan is a very nice man you can tell that he really enjoys what he does. His voice is monotone and is very hard to pay attention to during his lectures (even though I tried very hard) BUT attendance is optional. He just reads off of his slides during class. 3 midterms and 40% final. You can use all the slides he makes to study off of.
Jan is a really good prof and it's clear that he really enjoys teaching this class. Make sure to attend his class because they are enjoyable and informative. He gives the basic powerpoints, but goes into a greater depth in class which is what will help you for the exams. He's very respectful, available to help whenever, and provides feedback.
The class is fairly straightforward, and a lot of the material is common sense. Quizzes are harder than expected because EVERYTHING covered in class will be on the test. He gives minimal instruction for what he expects out of assignments.
if you need straight A's do not take this class. Makes up rules after you complete the assignment to dock you points that weren't even in the instructions, ridiculous expectations. I have a 3.9 gpa and couldn't get over 90 no matter how much I tried. doesn't help AT ALL. refuses.
Was very respectful feedback on student participation and not condescending at all. I have to say this was very refreshing and pleasant considering the attitude of most other MacEwan profs. Tough grader but if I got a less-than-great mark on a paper, I def deserved it. A reasonable and professional prof - what else can you ask for, really?
The biggest problem I noticed with this prof was the inconsistency in marking between assignments online. There just seemed to be a lack of understanding of how the grades were assessed.
Marking is very inconsistent between assignments, his instructions are generally confusing and unclear what he expects, he gives too small of word limits, and he marks things out of /3 which is unfair. Most certainly wouldn't suggest him to anyone taking Soc as an elective for Bcomm, etc. Steer clear! Would give a 0 as a rating if I were able to.
Im a soci major and this was the worst class ever. He provides no instruction and marks so hard on assignments. DROP WHILE YOU CAN!!!!
Jan was great, his class was really nicely delivered online and the subject discussed were interesting. He graded fairly and quick for the most part. No complaint and would highly recommend him as a teacher
Absolutely loved this proff and class! He is specific on what he is looking for, so stick to what the assigment asks. The textbook for the class is the base knowledge, but the real learning materials are the extra "essential resources" he provides, so the key to this class is to pay attention to those and use them for assignments!
I didn't know he was a man until 2 months into the class (online learning) bc he never reached out to the class or posted lectures. All learning was done by reading the textbook and our entire grade came from 3 contributions (10% each), a midterm essay (30%) & a final essay(40%). If you hate tests this is the class for you, but otherwise I'd avoid.
I'm taking his class online; there are 3 class contributions worth 10% each, 1 essay midterm, and 1 essay finals worth 40%. He's a tough marker. I thought I did pretty well on my final but got 50% in return which is my lowest out of all my essays. If you like writing essays take his class. He provides study guides but ur on ur own try to keep up.
Super easy class. This class is all paper-based, with only 2 essays. You'll do amazing on the assignments if you follow the instructions and talk about current events related to those topics. The final was worth 40%, but he gives a lot of time to work on it. Overall a very straightforward class.
I would not recommend this professor at all. He didn't come online once for lectures. He doesn't give good feedback or maybe never on assignments. Don't take him if you want to boost your GPA. Heavy marker. I would never take this professor ever again. I was basically my own teacher. No help. With Covid, I think he needed to be much easier.
this is your sign to drop this class or switch sections. i thought i'd be different too hun, I get great marks too. girl don't do it. the class is easy. quizzes are easy. discussion posts are easy. the marking of papers though? OOF. GIRL. your grade is 70% paper-based and when I say ridiculously hard marking, I mean it. switch sections boo.
I'm minoring in English and historically have little to no trouble with essays, whether they be English or Sociology related. However, his expectations are extremely unclear when it comes to essays and he's a brutal marker. Dude doesn't reach out or teach us at all, then marks extremely harshly while we're all online due to COVID. Nice.
Course is completely asynchronous so there's very little interaction with him outside of grading, but he gives a lot of feedback and provides additional resources. The course is very reading intense - textbook and resources - but it's fascinating and directly applicable to everyday life. Stay on top of readings and assignments and you'll do well.
He makes you work for the grades. He knows his stuff and he wants you to be able to understand. He's a tough marker but he's really good. I will totally be taking this class again!
I found Prof Philipzig to be involved and passionate about sociology. (S)he (?) sent many inspirational messages throughout the semester to make the material more interesting and relevant. (S)he gave optional material which i found helpful and her feedback was extremely helpful.
This class was an interesting read although I wished it was more engaging. Students are left to read the textbook and do weekly quizzes (which are not too difficult if you understood the material). This prof gave out very helpful suggestions on my graded midterm . The midterm subject was also very cool and I geniunely enjoyed writing it!
The grading criteria was 3 discussions (30%), a midterm (30%), and a final (40%). All written, hard marker. I would never take their class again. Always asks for more in discussions but has a max word count. Unreasonably hard, avoid if you can. Worst elective ever. Expects you to know what they know. Be prepared to read the whole text and more.
Jan is a little bit dry in his lectures, but he is passionate about the topic. There is 3 midterms and an essay for the whole grade, which is a bit intimidating as they are all worth a significant percentage. The midterms are all multiple choice, however.
Avoid if you can. Jan, although passionate about soci is VERY dry, and his lectures will make you fall asleep or even just leave the class altogether. In one 50 min class we would only get through 2-3 small slides since he goes on and on and on and on. 3 exams, and 1 paper. Exams were easy, but the paper was confusing, and he marked it harshly.
Thoroughly enjoyed this class! Jan is passionate and educated in sociology and his marking was fair and constructive. Encouraged critical thinking and discussions were very engaging. Make sure to read and take notes from the textbook, it will be on the exams. If you miss a class he provides PowerPoint slides. Enjoyed the supplementary resources!
Jan was very knowledgeable about the subject, but the lectures were so dry that its a waste of time to attend them. He would spend the majority of the 50-minute lesson on one slide. The tests were pretty straightforward, but he was a harsh marker regarding the essay worth 40% of your grade and, even so, didn't provide any writing feedback.
Jan's lectures were super dull and hard to sit through. We only had 4 marks making up our entire grade which was 3 midterms each worth 20% and a homework essay worth 40%. The tests were rather difficult and he marked the essays insanely hard with almost no feedback as to why you got that grade. This was tough for a 100-level class.
- He has a very heavy accent - His notes lack - expected to read the whole textbook to get additional information and finish the notes. - hard marker -only 4 things your mark sits on, one is an essay worth 40%, instructions were not clear. -His exams were fair but based on the textbook not his notes. I recommend a different professor
His lectures were very dry and boring. You need to read the textbook if you want to pass
People should give Prof.Philipzig more credit! He has been one of my best professors thus far in my university studies. He's so passionate about the material and always up for further conversations regarding course material. If you are engaged in the class you will receive a great grade! I would absolutely take another one of his classes again!
I wasn't sure at first but he grew on me. His lectures are only dry If you choose to not participate in the class discussions. He's very passionate about the material, and his lectures are always entertaining. He is not a hard marker by any means, he's very fair and provides good feedback. Just read the textbook and you'll easily A+ his class.
Jan is an alright professor, he has a accent that make it hard to understand topics. The course overall is decent, it was 3 midterms worth 20% each and a homework essay with 40%. The essay had higher expectations on a chapter you don't learn in class at all, you have to learn it on your own.
Jan was very fast at replying to emails and provided good feedback to papers. I had him in the spring and found the class to be very manageable. Papers had clear grading requirements and the class was interesting.
Great prof! I would suggest reading the textbook and also following his study guides, lecture materials and additionally any supplementary readings closely to do well. He gives amazing feedbacks on essays so make sure to read them.
He knows his stuff but man was his class hard to get through. He is a fair prof, and is willing to help. His accent and volume make it hard to understand. He did one paper ( 40%) and three midterms, all midterms were only on certain chapters. Since the info is easy, it isn't hard to grasp by yourself. If this was a higher level I wouldn't take him.
Despite his lectures being very dry, I think he does well providing a stress free class, easy grading, clear instructions, no final exam for my course just two midterms and a paper, he's a nice guy who wants to see everyone do well. Let alone he's very lenient when it came to grading. If you can stomach dry lectures, hes a good prof.
Exams are unnecessarily hard. Be prepared to go to class and read the textbook and still feel blind sided by the exams. His homework assignment at the end of the course had too many requirements for the small page limit and had no marking rubric which is very stressful for an assessment worth 40% of your mark.
Lectures were extremely boring and heavily relied on the textbook. He knew his stuff and is very passionate but lectures consisted of him talking for 50 minutes straight. If you have the text book you can get a good mark no problem. He was also very quick to reply back to his emails if you needed help!
Jan is a good professor. Lectures were dry for most of the course; he would spend a lot of time on specific slides (usually 2-3 slides per class). The good thing about this class was that I didn't feel the need to show up every single day because he posted the lecture slides online. I didn't read the textbook and passed for the credit.
If you read the textbook, you'll be fine with the finals. Jan is passionate about sociology, but lectures are pretty boring. The prof gives a good feedback and replies on emails.
The way Dr. Philipzig conducts his lectures is deplorable. Zero preparation for midterms or papers. He allowed 2 students, whom are not in the class, to take 2.5 hours out of class time to deliver a Presentation regarding the Palestinian Protests - which was NOT in the curriculum right before our last midterm. 0/5. Do not take his course.
Professor was very passionate about what he teaches, reaching out to students if they need help, he replied pretty quick when emailed for help or other reasons! Love how he encourages student activism and relates class content to real things happening in the world! I genuinely enjoyed this class and would love to take another one with him if I can!
This professor is by far the clearest prof I have had. He is incredibly organized, which makes it easy to follow. He is passionate and discusses various topics, even ones the textbook leaves out, which I find very interesting. I have learnt a lot in this class. I am purposely going to try to take another class with him because it was so enjoyable.
Dr. Philipzig is very passionate about what he teaches and it shows. Massively inspiring and accommodating. I actively seek out the courses he is teaching as I find it easier to stay engaged in his lectures because of the amount that he cares. Relatively easy marker if you understand the course material.
his exams are quite easy as long as you read the textbook. his notes are not as detailed so the textbook really helps in filling any gaps. his lectures are dry but he goes into detail of the material. overall i would recommend him
Prof. Philipzig's lectures can be dry, but engaging with the material makes a difference. The textbook is essential - use unstuck study along with it for better prep. Overall, a manageable course if you put in the work.
Class consists of 3 midterms (all multiple choice) and one essay, everything is weighted at 25%. lectures are VERY BORING, he tends to ramble and not make much sense. Slides are posted, and thats exactly what he reads from in class. Overall a very nice professor, even if you don't attend class and just study the material you'll do great.
Jan Philipzig looks and sounds like Mr. Ping from Kung Fu Panda. I hate Kung Fu Panda.
He tends to go on many rants in his lectures. His PowerPoints are dense but short, there's a lot that's missing from them that you need to read in the textbook .The group presentations take up the whole class sometimes. He tends to only give a few moments when asking if there's any questions, if no one raises their hands he moves on.
Lectures are hard to pay attention in. Everything posted on the slides is what is gone through in class and you will need the textbook for exams. Overall nice guy and I would take his class again.
I could not understand when he would say "macro-level vs micro-level" because of his accent. It all sounded like "macle level vs macle level. Atp I just didn't go to any of the lectures. Jan was a good prof but tbh I didn't really go to any classes, just read the textbook and I got a 3.4 in his class. Tests are straight forward if you study.
He wasn't the best or worst professor his accent wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Only had 1 assignment and 3 midterms,assignment was very easy,all his midterms are MC based off his lectures,with a few on the textbook. The only time I used the textbook was for the assignment other than that I never touched it again (book online & format bad)
Not a bad introductory course.
Great professor who is genuinely passionate about teaching and even learning and hearing various different perspectives. He is critical of the world and holds his students to a high standard, which motivates you to do better and show up. - AS
Jan is an incredibly kind, caring prof. Lectures were clear and easy to understand, so note taking was simple, and his tests are all multiple choice, and not hard. for the essay, he was a really easy marker and gave great feedback. i love how he encourages students to speak their minds, think critically, and stand up for what matters.
He was very into the media is controlling us aspect of the class, so a little hard to follow if you arent into that, but hes super passionate
Nice guy but I find it boring that every class he rambles about 2-3 slides. He also spams the two words "Hence on"
Nice guy, who responds to emails pretty quickly, No final exam for Soci 100 which was nice, just a MT and a essay
Midterms are pretty easy, don't have to attend lectures, you can just use the slides and textbook. only difficult part for me was the essay but if your good at writing, this course is prob an easy A.
He is an alright prof. He will often go on rants about issues that don't even relate to what we are supposed to be learning. 3 midterms and 1 essay, each worth 25% make up your whole grade (no final exam)
Jan is clearly passionate about what he teaches. He sometimes goes on tangents and spends too much time on specific concepts. Besides that, lectures are easy to follow. You will need textbook for the paper. Review the slides for exams and you will do great. He is a fair marker, would take again. x3 midterms one essay, all worth 25%. No final exam.
awesome prof and class, no clue what everyone else is on about.The actual class is very basic and so stress free. U have three midterms and one paper no final or discussion posts literally nothing You can tell he loves what he does and actually enjoys being their. Highly recommended you take him if your taking five classes,it's very low maintenance
