He gives very long tests.He talks too fast and doesnt really explain everything. If youre lookin for an easy "A" dont take this class.
Prof. Schwarz is one of the nicest people I met. He was a great teacher. I don't know why someone would say his class is hard. College is not for you to find a teacher that is extremely easy. It is about taking classes with teachers that stimulate you intellectually. He is an excellent teacher!

Great class and great teacher. The tests were long but very fair, and he always went ove rthe material. No homework but one major project that was both easy and interesting. Always good notes and intellectually stimulating. Very helpful if you need it, just ask him!
I took this class at an accelerated pace. Tests were difficult: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in the blank, and short answer. But, he will give you direction on what to study IF YOU ASK. 5 min PowerPoint presentation required. Keeps lectures interesting. Good communicator via e-mail.

very interesting class
One of the best teachers I have had. Had him for social problems too.
I liked this class. He is a great teacher. He likes to talk so write down all his notes and also some of what he says in class. If you don't understand something just ask him.
This teacher is very easy and very understanding. You have to study for his class and act like a college student but you can play with him and he is very personable. He will help you all he can and if you miss a class, he invites you to his others. Great teacher. Highly recommend.
at first he seems a little scary but when u get to know him found out he is a really good person and teaches very well nice class
he is one of the best teachers i ever took. He is very funny and i enjoyed his class
Great teacher! All the notes are on powerpoint, that he puts together with music and all.(Every once in a while he adds a funny slide that he goes by quickly, so pay attention!) If you are at all interested in sociology, take Professor Schwarz. He grades on tests, attendence and a very easy powerpoint (that if you present, you get a 100%) Take him!
He is a great teacher and deffinitly know what he is talking about. I recomend him a 100%. The guy has the best jokes well considering he is a teacher.
HE'S GREAT! U'LL DEF HAVE A GOOD TIME IN HIS CLASS, HE'S VERY FUNNY! AND MAKES THE CLASS MORE INTERESTING... HIS TESTS COME FROM THE NOTES SO AS LONG AS U STUDY UR NOTES, U'LL BE GOOD! I HARDLY EVEN USED MY BOOK... THE POWER POINT PRESENTATION IS A BIG PART OF UR GRADE AND IT'S REALLY EASY TO GET AN "A". I REALLY LIKED HIM! DEF RECOMMEND HIM!
Very good teacher. has a great sense of humor. can relate good with the kids in class. i enjoyed his class very much. would take him again if i could.
He is a VERY interesting teacher, but his tests are rediculous. Sometimes he doesn't even remember what he taught to which class, and things you've never even heard of will be on the test. The tests are very hard, and you have to memorize a lot of percentages and statistics. I got a B..If you have him, you need to check the tests after he gradesthe
He is a great teacher, Makes everything interesting and fun. Tells jokes and has serious A.D.D. Needs music when he is not teaching to occupy himself but otherwise is awesome. Test are hard but welcome to college. STUDY!!
THIS GUY IS AWESOME. IM SOMEONE THAT DOESNT GO TO CLASS WHEN THE TEACHER IS BORING. I WENT TO EVERY CLASS! HE IS A SUPER GOOD TEACHER. TELLS U EXACTLY WHATS ON THE TEST AND GETS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
He is very helpful and very personable. If you have a sarcastic wit about you then you can play with him and he will play back. Very understanding and definately has ADHD. Has to have music on and no silence. Powerpoint a must but he is helpful if you ask questions and come to him. <Sara>
This class was good--great teacher. He was entertaining...he kept you laughing the whole class. And you actually learned what he was trying to teach you. He was pretty leniant with tests and never tested on something that he didn't cover. He's good!!
HE IS THE GREATEST. i had this class after a long day of work and i never missed a class. he made it interesting and he is a really cool guy.
he is a very good teacher. if you do not attend his class you wont be able to pass because his tests are based on the notes he gives in class. Once you attend class study your notes then the test are just fine. as far as memorizing statistics, there arent many to memorize. Plus thats what the whole class is about is memorizing. easy class worth mon
A very funny and interesting teacher. Unique style. Highly recommend. Easy A.
This was the most ridiculous class ever! I had this class during the huge hurricane madness time, and omg did I have to do work! he lost 2 of my papers and my powerpoint presentation. everytime i did more work to make up for the last one HE LOST he lost it again, or didnt remember where it was. he suxed! not responsible. I got a D!
Professor Schwarz is a very laid back instructor, but you have to attend class, pay attention, and stuy the material he gives you and you will do very well in his class.
awsome class best if taking during the summer he's a sweet and funny guy he makes class fun eventhough you have to write notes i always looked forward to going to this class.
Awesome teacher! I recommend him to anyone who needs to take sociology 100%. He is extremely helpful and understanding. Make sure to pay atttention to his lectures; they help alot when it comes to quizzes and the exams! He relates to his students well!
Awesome teacher! Just come to class and write down what he tells you from his power points. The test come directly from his notes. He explains everything thoroughly and has a way of making you understand. Study for his test and you will get an easy A!
This teacher is very nice and funny. This class is not boring at all.. He makes it fun and interesting... We have to do a powerpoint and we dont even read he just likes it to have fun transitions and music with pictures... Its a great class!
This professor is so cool he doesn't require attendence but if u come everyday he gives extra credit there's no homework and all of your grades are based off easy test that are given directly from the notes. He the best take him if u wana have fun.
He's a very great teacher. He helps you by making sure understand the material. He knows his statistics very well. He also aids you by mentioning exactly what you need to study for his quizzes and tests. He also review what you need to study for the midterm and final exam.Can't be wrong.
For this being my first class in the summer of my coleege experience, I really enjoyed. I learned some interesting facts about the human society. Plus Professor Schwarz really helps his students. Tust me your will never be bored and won't expect a grade lower than a B. Thats just how good he is. I wish that he could teach more of my classes.
THIS PROFESSOR IS HOT LIKE FIRE! HE IS SO COOL AND HE EVEN GIVES ANSWERS ON THE BOARD FOR TEST WHILE TAKING THE TEST! HE IS THE BEST! WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM!! HE IS CUTE TOO!
This guy is so awesome. All you have to do is take notes and study. You do that and you'll be fine. I've opened the textbook twice and I have a 97. He's constantly making jokes and keeping the atmosphere light. Everyone needs a humanities class so take this guy and boost your GPA.
he is great! he is helpful and funny! he gives answers for tests and never makes you stay for the whole class. he is pretty fast at teaching but hands out all the info needed. he also uses powerpoint for everything w/ songs to be more interesting! pick him! you wont regret it!
I think the last comment is for Jerry Scwartz, not Jay Scwartz. Jay Scwartz does not teach Economics.
Totally awesome! super clear and soooo funny his class was my favorite, if you dont like it you honestly didnt go. He discuss everything that is gonna be on our test and grades fairly, and his research paper is super easy... great teacher!
This is a good class to take. Just take notes and go a day prior to the tests for the study notes. I was going to drop this class because my first test was a low F. It was my fault as I didn't go a day before to pick up the notes. I didn't drop and I'm happy I didn't. I still got an A in his class.

This professor is AWESOME! He talks to you like an adult and not like a little kid lke some profesors do. His reviews are staright from the test and his classes are actually fun. You would be craaaazy not to take him...you will get an A.

Very good professor.
nice teacher, recommend to all. ez A if you study.
Incredibly funny stories that relate to every single issue, theory or subject w/in Sociology.He will help you as much as he can. You feel comfortable and are not afraid to ask questions more than once. If you want an A study, but, his study guides are generally helpful, with extra credit here and there. He is awesome!
Awesome teacher.He'll make you laugh every class, he makes it fun with power points and stuff, he doesnt use up the whole class time. I took him only once a week, he was so straight.. We had alot of days off. His test are straight from the notes so take good notes. But yes you have to study, but its just right. Completely Recommendable. TAKE HIM!
He has the best stories that relate to all of the terms and or theories, also he makes his class interesting, so interesting that some students do not leave his class when it is over. He is very helpful and will answer any question more than once.
He is a good professor, funny,and helpfull. He would give extra credit. You would pass as long as you study. Study your notes.
Schwarz is the best!! easy A if you study ur notes for the test!He really makes it interesting.He's funny,smart & helpful.Any favor u need,he wont hesitate to help u even if its not related to class.no other teacher has been so helpful like him. I recommend to all.he gives tells you what to study &what not to...TAKE HIM! you'll thank me later :D
Oh my goodness! After taking this class twice with another professor and failing I almost decided to skip this subject, but wow! Professor J made this subject incredibly interesting! He gives extra credit and is SUPER helpful. You won't stop laughing at his stories that pertain to the subject. TAKE HIM! He is AWESOME! You will NOT regret it!!!!!!!
Absolutely LOVE this professor!! He is an amazing teacher and very down to earth. Gives his own life experiences as examples, tells you like it is and has a great sense of humor. Not too bad on the eyes either. I've taken him twice and have learned so much. I recommend him to everybody I know at BC. Take him!! You're missing out if you don't...
he gives alot of extra credit which is a plus but you have to attend class and take notes because the test is based on the notesss. hes very nice and teaches very well super understandle and gives alot of extra credit you have to do a paper for sociology and test are very important
He is a great teacher, very funny. He is a sweet guy, very helpful and understanding, gives extra credit, study your notes and you will do well.
This class was extraordinary, proff Jay is the best.. his class is extremely helpful and you defenitely learn a lot from it. Hes really nice and gives a lot of extra credit. I enjoyed his class to the fullest.
loved this professor! he is so caring and will stay after class to help you out with any questions or concerns. he also give tons of extra credit. he uses real life experiences and examples from the past to help you further understand a definition. i wouldnt say this class is an easy A.. you have to study your notes. dont think twice, TAKE HIM! :D
one of the most helpful and nice professors ever! his test come from the power points. he gives real life stories and they are actually interesting and funny. im not too sure what the rater below me had a problem with. his test are not hard, if you attend class and study your notes you will pass with a B or higher.
GREAT
Listen. if you're wondering if these comments are really that truthful and if he's really as great as everyone says he is trust me when I tell you HE IS. he's an incredible teacher super hilarious. take his class and I promise you won't regret it.
Great Professor who is passionate about his subject. Often includes some comical, personal-life anecdotes which make class-time light-hearted and amusing. The writing credit is broken up into multiple, manageable assignments as opposed to one long research-paper. Lecture notes are crucial to your success, so go to class. You'll enjoy it anyways.
COOL FUNNY LAID BACK TEACHER EASY BUT YOU HAVE TO STUDY FOR HIS TEST
This is one of the best teachers I've ever had.He knows his stuff and makes sure you also understand. He teaches so well, so studying isn't so hard.His assignments are so easy and you actually want to them.I've learned so much in his class and cant wait until his sociology club starts.Take him.He's the best there is out there.You wont regret it.
Awesome teacher! Best I've ever had. Easy A only if you study!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER TAKEN. VERY FUNNY TALKS ABOUT REAL LIFE SO YOU GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING BUT GREAT CLASS.....EASY PASS AND YOU LEARN...SO STOP READING THIS AND SELECT HIS CLASS BEFORE SEATS RUN OUT!
Best teacher/professor I have ever had. Knows what he is talking about, and wants you to learn. Constantly compares things to real life (his life.) I have never wanted to do well in any class. Easy A if you study. Lots of vocabulary to learn, only a few words used from book. IF YOU PLAN ON TAKING SOCIOLOGY, CHOOSE HIS CLASS!
A genuinely nice guy. He works hard on having no one fail. There is numerous extra credit opportunities, and what is expected of you is very clear. A definite recommendation.
Great teacher. Willing to help and gives multiple chances for extra credit through class trivia games. Highly recommended.
easy, gives a lot of extra credit
The best Sociology professor, by far!!! Just attend class, make sure you take accurate notes and the tests are a breeze. Strongly recommend this professor for any Sociology course. I had him for SYG 2010 and SYG 2000.
TAKE THIS CLASS!!! best and most easy going class I have ever had. He is awesome. 2 current events and 2 apa style papers. Take good notes and you will ace the tests. gives lots of extra credit for class games. learned a lot and without having to stress out. Wish more classes were taught like this. He is also really funny and will help if you ask.
Very helpful professor. make sure you take notes and listen to the lectures. Easy going, always available to help. Makes sure you understand what he teaches. Can't wait to join the Sociology Club
Professor Schwarz is entertaining! His class is based solely on the notes HE provides. Tests are given from his notes; they are worth 200 points. Rarely do we use our book(if ever.) Three papers assigned- none of which are worth nearly as many points as the tests. He's very nice, and willing to give extra credit. Not a difficult class.
Prof. Schwarz is super entertaining! His class is based on the notes that HE provides. Tests are given from his notes. We rarely used the book, only for "bold words." Two papers assigned which were easy & fun. Also we had to do article summaries which were easy & interesting. He's very nice, and he gives lots of extra credit! TAKE HIM!
You will regret not taking this class. Passed with an A+ without the book, just take good notes (impossible not to-he tells you what is going to be on the test and what NOT to write down). Super funny, interesting, and he always lets you out early.
Possibly the best class I've taken at BC. Prof Schwarz is easy going, concise, and his tests are make or break depending on your participation and note taking in the class. He gives extra credit and will always help a student strive for the grade they aim for and deserve. Very fair and fun class
his an amazing professor!! his the best that i ever had! his is really helpful and super nice. everything he says he wants you to understand. he cares about his students :) HIS GREATT! im really happy in his class .
One of the best teachers I've had ! He makes sure that you know everything that will be on the test & has a really fun way of explaining :D I highly recommend this class for anyone ! He also jokes a lot & is hilarious(: Plus he always relates what he talks about to his own life & he mentions his adorable daughter. He really is one of the best !
BEST PROFESOR. he is hilarious!!!!! and has a unique way of teaching that captures your overall attention. not many assignments only 4 tests and 2 current events. will help you go over what you need to study and is extremely extremely helpful and patient!!!! love him!
LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! i looked forward to this class every tuesday night helped me get away from things and didnt make it feel like it was something i had to do but instead something i wanted to do! RECOMMEND TO ALL!
Great professor! I took his Tuesday night class and loved it. Don't buy the textbook because you won't use it. Four tests, two current events, one paper, one self paper. No busy work. Explains concepts very well. I signed up for another of his classes next semester.
awesome teacher, very interesting and he gives lots of extra credit and helps out when you need something.
Don't buy the textbook, he gives you all the notes you will need in powerpoints. He does talk fast, yet he repeats all of it like 10times. You should go too class cause he gives extra credit sometimes for coming & extra credit for other things. He teaches very well, I actually want to go into this field b/c of him. Take him, you would't regret it!
Great professor! I took his SYG2441 (Social Institutions) class this semester. Pretty much no busy work, only assignments that pertain to what you're learning. Look over your notes/show up to class (extra credit!) and you'll be fine.
AMAZING TEACHER!!!! BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. Everything on his power points are on the test. EASY A!!!
Pretty knowledgeable with the subject, throws in random facts to keep the class interesting. Be sure to read the sections before the exams. No complaints about the course, take him if you need the course.
He is an amazing teacher. He gives real life examples to help you understand the material better. I actually looked forward to going to class even though it was a summer night class. You don't have to go to class but after the first day you won't want to miss any classes. TAKE HIM! you won't regret it! Study the notes and read the book.
Took him during the summer. I can't even begin to explain how many facts I learned from just a six week or so course. He is a great professor and I definitely enjoyed his class. I recommend him!
Prof Schwarz is a great teacher. You won't pass his exams unless you study, but he provides awesome notes and his lectures are funny and interesting. LOVE his powerpoint presentations and selection of music. Makes the class worth attending, for sure!
AMAZING professor! I wish I could take it again! Had him over summer, easily the best class I've ever taken. Really relatable and gives a ton of examples. It's a bit of a challenge and you have to study for tests, but it's a good challenge. Never wanted the class to end!
awesome!!! i have him and he is a very good teacher!!! The only thing is just study for his test but besides that its really easy just 4 test and 2 papers well one since one is an about me page
For being 50 his good looking lol had to add that.. Great teacher always in a good mood. his test are mostly true and false, multiple choice and written respond study from notes mostly and he tell u if u have to read book. one research paper and class assig. other than that great teacher.. goes over notes fast so pay attention..
If you need a GPA booster or simply need the credit take this class.The professor gives tons of extra credit to make sure that you pass the class and makes the class interesting.He throws in random facts to make things interesting and the book is not really needed.
He's hilarious!! Always told us stories about his life and never kept us more than 45 minutes. You have to study a bit, but for the most part he tells you everything that's on the during his notes. Easy A!!
Very cool guy easy A if you show up and listen you don't really need the book and does a lot of fun trivia
Professor Schwarz is one of BC best professor. Take his class you cannot go wrong, he is funny, considerate,gives and extra credit. Turn up for class and follow his study guide and you will pass this class with ease.
Not one to give opinions on this but by far one of the best. He's a riot and makes class fun, very knowledgeable and respectful of his students. He tells you what you need to know for tests (make sure to read chapters also) tests are straight forward. Always willing to help those who are willing to help themselves. Amazing teaching and personality
I always enjoyed going to his class. Very laid back, easy to comprehend, and cares very much for his students. His tests are very straight forward, as long as you study.
Amazing teacher. He is always there to help you and rewards your hard effort. He does offer extra credit for those who attend every class and try their hardest. I payed attention during class and actively took notes, usually studied for a few hours for a test and ended up with a nice A in the class. He is hilarious and makes learning fun.
Great Professor. Did not really have much interest in the class prior to going but he made the class extremely enjoyable. Would recommend this class to anyone whether it be just for the credit or for their major. I both learned and enjoyed going to class.
It was a very interesting class. Professor Schwarz is extremely fair with his grading. It is not an "easy" A. It takes studying and class attendance to earn an A in the class. He is one of the very few teachers out there that have a very clear understanding of what they are teaching. As a whole, this is a class that I would recommend to anyone!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! His class isn't hard but you HAVE to study or atleast review your notes. I think i made about 1000 falshcards in total but it was all worth it since i recieved an A.He loves what he does and that makes the class way more exciting.The textbook isnt necesary i bought it and hardly used it. you can get an A w/o the book
HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD! He gives so much extra credit and makes the class so much fun. Theres 4/5 testS and one research paper. East A! TAKE HIM!
Prof Schwarz is the man! Best professor ever and he makes everything super interesting. Such a funny guy too. This class will be the best decision you ever make, I guarantee it.
AMAAAAAAAAZING PROFESSOR!! I LOOKED FORWARD TO HIS CLASS EVERY DAY!! EACH LESSON WAS FUN AND HE MADE NICE, INTERESTING POWERPOINTS WITH MUSIC!! HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS!! TAKE HIM!!!
Great professor, very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.
Loved this professor. He made things so easy and interesting. He is willing to work with you on anything. Makes class fun. There is no reason to not get an A. Sadly, this was his last semester here. Broward lost a good one. I would have gladly taken more of his classes. Great guy!
pROF sCHWARZ is really laid back, goes through all power points in lecture and gives print outs even after he emails them to you! Gives extra credit through out semester , so go to the seminars! For tests and quizzes he gives a study guide, ALWAYS! Highly recommended
He's an awesome guy! Easy grade for sure, take notes from the power points cause he basically copies and pastes things from the power point onto the Quizzes(tests lol) great guy I took him for General Psychology in Odessa College and took him in Sociology the next semester just cause I enjoyed his lectures!
learned a lot, great professor
Excellent! loved this class and funny!
He is an amazing professor who recommended to any one of the best
