SOC 1 should be super easy if you attend class everyday for a chance to use a 3 pg. study guide on the exams. I've never studied off the book, but instead used his power points.

He has been my top 3 teachers so far. I LOVE his feedback. His grading is to the point. You can not fail this class unless you're lazy. He gives you options to choose from so you can find something of interest for yourself. There are different times where he gives you extra credit. Overall I highly recommend him!!

One of my favorite professors! He truly cares and makes the subject worth your time. He allows you to skip some assignments. The videos for the discussions really shine light on the social problems we have today. He gives everyone personal feedback on their discussions and is a perfect example of a great professor!

Best professor ever. He reads over each assignment/frq exam you turn in and gives direct feedback. He lets you skip one discussion board during the term. Also gives out so much extra credit. Don't hesitate to take his class.

took him for winter 22 so class was quick. Offered extra credit and i believe exam 1 and 2 were short responses while final exam was 50 qt of multiple choice. recommend getting the textbook as he took most from it for final exam. a project at the end about a film that can be found thru yt. you have to not do the work to earn a grade below an A.

Professor Gatillon is such a caring, insightful, & inspiring. He's quick on grading and provides feedback, and always available to answer any questions. In the brief 8 week course I took him, I learned a lot not only about the topic, but about myself as well. 5 discussion forums, 6 quizzes, 1 reflection paper. He provides lecture notes and text.

Lots of work, but to be expected in an honors & Summer course. No lectures, only readings which I prefer. Discussions & peer posts were the most time consuming. Only 3 exams and final media analysis paper. Paper writes itself if you pick a film you enjoy. Easy A since Prof. Gatillon makes the subject so interesting.

Professor Gatillion was the best choice in terms of an educator. He is THE MOST PASSIONATE AND ORGANIZED TEACHER YOU WILL EVER ENCOUNTER. Clear and specific instructions, quick grader, helpful and ego-boosting feedback, manageable workload, numerous and alternative helpful resources, engaging and life-applicable lessons, and life-lasting knowledge.

Lecture notes are long but very straight forward. Exams are multi choice and short answer but everything is assigned a week in advance including exams. Discussion posts can be time consuming but overall an average class nothing to stress about. Prof is easy to reach and gave great feedback.

He seems nice enough and does give good feedback but honestly it's a lot of reading and writing. There's word count minimums 250-500 and replying to two other people weekly in discussion and then making sure to cite everything you write. This was equivalent to my Freshman Composition class in terms of level of the amount of writing and difficulty.

Honestly, the best professor I've taken online, and it was so easy to make a connection with him, especially as an async course. The textbook was free as he provided the material, and the assignments were very consistent and flexible with different schedules. The way we covered some of the heaviest topics was also very thoughtful and respectful!!
