He is new, very easy, very kind, explains clearly, efficient class.
Professor Gatillon is amazing! I loved his class. He's a fair grader. I got good grades on everything. Take him. You won't regret it!
He is amazing! He loves his students!! He actually cares genuinely about everyone's options and thoughts and finds interesting ways to integrate what's actually going on in the world without making it boring! He is great!
He is great!!! He offers so many extra credit opportunities.
He's an amazing professor that really cares about the students. Take his class and expect a myriad of extra credit opportunities, constant discussion about both the topic and current events, and jokes.
He's very nice and cares his students. I am an international student, he is very helpful when I need help. He provides a lot of extra credit opportunity through out the semester. It's an easy class. I would love to take his class again.
Such a great professor! He's new so he's still in the learning phase but he really has such a good handle of what he teaches and he really cares about the subject. Flexible with home work, extra credit and incredibly understanding! I would take his class again. Cool subject, even cooler dude.
I took his class in my first semester and got an A. Also, I'm an international student, so it is not easy for me to learn and pick up things the same way as native speakers. But the class is not hard and the professor is really nice. Take this class and pass with an easy A!
Great professor! Made social problems a great class.
Hes really a great professor! Hes really funny and knows his stuff. He made class interesting and fun. There were 3 exams, 2 papers, several in class activities, and tons of extra credit! He grades really fast!
The teacher is awesome! He uses a free textbook for this class. The assignments were easy to do. A ton of extra credit was offered throughout the semester. Overall fun class!
Professor Gatillon is chill, the class was fun and interesting for sure
Professor Gatillons class was fun and interesting. Hes funny and caring. He posts lectures on Canvas. i would take him again.
Take him! Gatillon is energetic and funny! I learned alot about criminology. The assignments werent to bad to do. His exams were pretty & straight forward just read and study his notes.
Professor Gatillon is very caring and smart. Theres 2 short papers, several inclass activities, and 3 exams. He offers a ton of extra credit. I liked his class. The textbook was a free online textbook!
He's by far the most easiest professor I had so far. There's barely any hw assigned, but he expects you to work in groups for in class assignments. 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.
Just finished taking Professor Gatillon's SOC20 class this winter term and I must say I'm so glad I chose his class. His lectures are beyond clear and understandable. Extra Credit is provided so definitely take advantage. Test questions are pulled from lecture notes as well as the book. *Hint* don't skip class and you'll be rewarded big time!
Take SOC20 with Professor Gatillon. He explains things clearly. The assignments were doable and interesting. I really enjoyed his style of teaching. Great class!
i took soc20 during the winter intercession. the class is eye-opening to whats going on in society. hes a great teacher. i learned so much. take his class.
Hes smart, caring & is very nice. Show up. Do the work & youll succeed. Great class!
Super easy class. Gives out many extra credit opportunities along with the already easy material. Listen to his lectures and study the terminology. Gatillon is also a very funny man which makes lectures easy to listen to. Though, he does lecture fast so it is ideal to read ahead of time in order to listen to the whole lecture! Highly recommend!
Hes a great professor! I liked his refreshing teaching style! Take his class!
Professor G is very down to earth and friendly!!!!! His class was very interesting. 3 exams, 2 papers, several activities, and a lot of extra credit. Just put in the work & you'll do great!
Professor Gatillon truly is one of the nicest and best professors out there! He really cares about his students. He allows resubmittions of the assignments. He wants you to succeed. I am so glad I took him!
Easy A if you put in the work. Hes an amazing instructor! Hes very kind, funny, and approachable. I loved his class!
JP is one of the best professors I have encountered. He is passionate about his students and makes every effort to be available for any help. He gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities. Attend class every day and he is very rewarding when it is exam time. He honestly loves teaching and it shows!
I just finished take this class online during the summer. The professor was super friendly, knowledgeable, & nice. He responded to my emails very quickly!!! The assignments and quizzes weren't hard to do. It was a great and easy class! I would recommend this professor!
Professor Gatillons soc 2 online class was great!!!!! He has options we can choose from for discussions. The topics and assignments were really interesting. I loved this class! I emailed him a few times and he replied fairly quickly. Wonderful professor! Just do the work and youll succeed!
Professor Gatillon is amazing!!! His class is is extremely easy. He has a great personality and really makes the class interesting. His exams are a bit difficult, but if you come to class everyday you can use 3 cheat sheets. I highly recommend his class, you actually learn something and his class is great!
Excellent online environment! The topics we covered are all relevant to real social contemporary issues in society. His discussions and quizzes are all exceptionally simple. We have 5 required discussions and 2 short papers along with 6 quizzes. Although this was a short term class I learned a lot and feel I will benefit greatly outside the clasrom
Professor Gatillon is a great professor. I enjoyed attending his lectures. He's very funny! He made criminology easy to understand. He does a nice job explaining complex stuff. He provides lots of examples. Also, do all the extra credit he offers throughout the semester. It was a fun class. It opened my eyes. Awesome guy and awesome class!
This class was a breeze! Professor Gatillon's class is structured nicely. He has 3 exams, 10 class activities, and 1 movie paper. Plus plenty of extra credit throughout the semester. I really enjoyed his lectures. Hes very funny, understanding and nice. I want to take his other classes!
Easy class, wonderful professor, do the work and youll pass
Hes a awesome proffessor. The class was very interesting, I learned a lot about criminology. He truly wants students to know the material and do great. The class is easy but you have to do the work in order to do great!
He was so relatable and easy to talk to and made class a fun and interesting environment, he really makes students want to know more about society and his race and ethic class was eye opening 10/10 take again
Professor Gatillon is very knowledgeable about race and ethnic relations in society. His class was great. Hes a fair grader and the assignments were interesting. I really enjoyed his class. He does offer a lot of extra credit opportunities!!!
Ive taken several classes with JP. He truly is one of the best professors that Ive ever had. He cares about his students and teaches the material very well. I highly recommended him to anyone that wants to learn sociology!
BEST TEACHER EVER !! i had him at RCC and he is absolutely wonderful! His lectures are very enjoyable, wish we had more professors like him!
Really lecture based. Allows life saving study guides if you have perfect attendance so make sure to attend classes
A real gem. Professor Gatillon is very caring unlike most Professors. He makes an effort to help you out with whatever you need. Truely makes school fun again.

Great professor and class. Genuinely cares about his students. Hes very funny too. The work was manageable. Im glad i took him!
I took his social problems class online. The assignments were simple and interesting. He gives great feedback and responded to my emails within the same day. He offers extra credit. At first, I was nervous of taking an online class but I am glad that i took his. Great class! Just do the work and you'll pass.
Amazing professor. No homework unless didn't complete the in class activities, but they're super easy. He gives TONS of extra credit, I ended up having 40 EC points without doing a single EC assignment. If you have perfect attendance or excused absences, he lets you use a 3 page cheat sheet (front and back) for exams
Prof. Gatillon is great! He gives feedback after ever assignment, whether you did great or poorly. Very responsive when you have a question. Would definitely take another one of his class if given the chance.
This class was very easy! His directions on the assignments were very clear. He made social problems relatable to whats going on in the world today. He responds quickly to emails & provides great feedback. There were a few extra credit assignmnts. Hes very nice!
This class was very user friendly. The professor has clear directions on the assignments. He provides a lot of feedback and really cares. Great class!
Professor Gatillon is very interactive! He made the class fun and entertaining. He is very flexible with due dates. He understands whats it like being a student.
Easy class. Great teacher. The extra credit was a nice cushion. A lot of the social problems we discussed are still happening today.
Syllabus is straightforward, but get read to read, cite, and keep a word count! Class was easy, but you had to turn in assignments Wed, Sat, & Sunday which was odd (breaking up the assignments?). Don't plagiarise or you will risk your grade! Make sure your writing is up to 68 or 1A as well as knowing your citations! Other than that, he's cool!
He provides great feedback on all assignments. I emailed him a few times and he replies really fast which is nice. The class was super easy; just be sure to follow directions. Ill take another of his classes next semester.
Professor Gatillon is one of the best professors I have ever taken. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. If you have any questions or are not sure about something, he is happy to help. His lectures are clear. He makes this class very fun and entertaining. He gives many extra credit opportunities. He is a true gem.
Professor Gatillon is great. His lectures are clear and interesting. He is very caring and friendly. He offers plenty of extra opportunities. It was a fantastic class. Take him!
Do the work and you will pass. The professor is very approachable and kind. He offers extra credit assignments throughout the semester so complete them when offered. Excellent professor and class.
Professor Gatillon's social problems class was great! The professor offers extra credit and has clear directions on the assignments. He sends out weekly announcements, reminders, & responds to emails quickly. He actually cares for his students. I will take other sociology classes that he teaches
!!TAKE ONLINE IN WINTER/SUMMER!! He is an incredible teacher. Class is very straight forward and effective. Lets you drop 2 assignments in 2 categories (4 total). Final is very easy if you turn in all your assignments. Take him for online, it will save you time!! He gives generous amounts of EC: If you get less than an A, its totally on yourself.
Great online class. He's great. Just do the work and youll do great.
The material is pretty easy, and taking his class definitely makes it worth while. Hes a great guy! Cute personality :) more lenient than I am used to in a professor.
By far my favorite professor/class ever. Very entertaining yet informative. Class is easy as long as effort is put in. He clearly outlines what is needed to be done to succeed in the class. He allows notes on the tests if you have good attendance. I highly recommend taking this course. He will help you get an A and you will enjoy the class.
Easy class with a great professor! Hes approachable & kind. Offers extra credit!!!!!!!!
He takes the time to write comments on assignments that you complete. He grades fairly and is extremely approachable. He was very understanding and gave extra time to students who needed it during this crazy time period.
Absolute gem of a teacher, made me fall in love with Sociology all over again, motivating, communication was amazing, if you put the time in you will pass. Loads of information, tests and quizzes are easily passible if you do the reading and study. Highly recommend he has been on of my most favorite professors across the board.
I had such an amazing experience taking prof gatillon! He definitely cares about his students succeeding and tries to help you as much as possible, even through an online class! Also super easy he just wants you to learn & participate. I took him in an accelerated 8 week course and it wasnt hard at all. Barely even accelerated!
Professor Gatillon is a kind professor who does not overburden his students. Very lenient grader. Tests are mostly multiple choice with a few short answer questions. Multiple choice questions are right from the textbook. Tests are not cumulative. Lecture notes are all online. His SOC 5H course is a solid choice for anyone seeking honors credit.
Professor Gatillon structures his classes nicely. He posts lectures in canvas. He gives options on assignments for students to complete. I loved his class! He cares about students and it shows. He is a fair grader. I will take another class with him. He also offers extra credit!
To be honest, he is an extremely great professor. For this course, we had 5 discussion assignments, 4 reflection assignments, 5 weekly quizzes, and 1 final exam. Just follow the prompts and I assure you a B is not even possible to achieve. Take him! He is a great addition to my fall semester and he replies the fastest among my professors.
Professor Gatillon is accessible and cares. He truly wants you to succeed. He gives great feedback and answers emails quickly. He offers extra credit opportunities. Take his class!
Professor Gatillon truly cares about his students. The 8 week class is very manageable and he gives assignments well in advance. He provides great feedback and offers many extra credit opportunities. Easy and interesting class!
Legendary. I have never met someone who is so dedicated to his students. It's roughly impossible to get a B for this. He replies the fastest but it's recommended you take your draft to the writing center first before checking it with him. He is the safest bet for your A but I really learned a lot about sociology at the same time! Take him!!
Amazing professor! YES! this class requires reading and writing however if you use his notes if will reduce the workload. The final is open book, open notes. It is nearly impossible not to pass.
Great class! He allows skips on some assignments. The quizzes and final are easy if u read. Do the work and youll pass without a problem.
He was easy to understand. Do the work and youll pass. He didnt assign a lot of homework. Take his class during a short term, no need to take this class during a long term. Theres no reason you shouldnt finish the class with an A.
Prof is caring and grading is clear :) Mostly you'll be making discussion posts +2 responses and you can miss 1 week free (but with the generous extra credit, I was able to skip 2 weeks and still get an A). The 3 exams are no time limit and open book. You will read a whole textbook for this class. It can be a lot, but the subject is interesting.
Professor Gatillon really inspired me to participate in class. He gave such detailed feedback which really assisted students' learning outcome. There is about 2-3 chapters worth of reading per week, but his powerpoints help shorten the amount of time you need to fully grasp the concepts. Really fun final project too. HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Hes not easy, don't expect jibberish lazy writing to get you a passing grade. Prof Gatillon is tough but is extremely thorough in what he expects, inspirational and passionate about teaching, a dying breed. Just about done at MtSac otherwise id definitely take him again for another sociology class. Thank you professor, keep doing what you'r doing.
Easiest class Ive taken yet. One of the easiest graders and gives such great feedback. Criminology is super interesting and he keeps the class as interactive as possible. Easy A and an awesome subject!
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!!
You can skip one discussion post. Multiple prompts for you to choose from for discussion posts. One research project about a crime show/documentary. Respond really quickly to emails. Detailed feedback that are always submitted back to you on time. Always send weekly reminders. Generous extra credit. Hes a really kind professor, totally recommend!
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!
One of the best professors I have ever had! Gives amazing feedback and is always willing to help and make sure you're understanding everything. Class is pretty easy and is interesting.
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.
Such an amazing professor. He gives feedback on all free response questions on the exam. Super lenient grader and gives out a lot of extra credit so there is no reason to not get an A in his class.
One of the best professors I have ever had! Clear grading Criteria and usually give great feedback.
Not only a great professor but also an amazing human! Truly cares about students and always very accessible. Takes a genuine interest in student experience and provides constructive yet positive feedback - always. Instructions are clear. Material is important. Models every possible aspect of an excellent professor.
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.
Great teacher who seems like he really enjoys his job. Always gives great feedback on assignments.
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.
Amazing professor! Definitely recommend ! Very friendly and helpful. Many extra credit opportunities.
Super hilarious professor! Would take him again in a heartbeat! Allows 3 pages front and back if you don't miss class, and the tests are very straightforward. None of the trickster questions other professors use. Very engaging and makes it a point to be inclusive for EVERYONE. Would recommend!
He is such a great professor. He is very caring and understanding with the entire class. Just do yourself a favor and take him. Best teacher on campus.
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.
Enjoyable honors class to take during summer. He is a lenient grader and posts lectures on canvas.
i took prof gatillon for an 8-week course. the subject was really interesting!! and the class was pretty easy imo. he's such a good prof & person. provides good feedback on all ur work. there are 5 discussion posts & 2 replies to ur peers. he lets u skip one of the discussion posts. lots of extra credit!! there were three exams & one final project.
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.
He is one of the nicest professors I met. He is very understanding and gives long, detailed feedback of your work. The assignments are manageable! He is a great professor. Definitely take his class!
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.
Very easy going professor. His class was very manageable and didn't take up much time. Many of the topics discussed were interesting and simple to understand. Would provide good feedback in response to discussion posts. Absolutely loved him!
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.
Easy class with a kind professor. There were six weekly discussions, three exams without time limits, and a final project. He offers extra credit!
He gives so many opportunities for extra credit. His tests come straight from lectures and the textbook so it's very easy to pass. Amazing teacher I definitely recommend him!
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!!
Awesome Professor, the class material was easy to understand and the exams and written assignments would be directly from the slides he gives. He reads your written assignment very well and provides a lot of feedback and was always very friendly and helpful, this is such a good easy class. I recommend anyone to take it lol
You learn a lot in this class, he gives great feedback and is very thorough with everything. Would love to take more classes with him if I wasn't transferring. Definitely recommend.
Honestly the best professor i've ever had. He is such a genuine person that actually engages with students and provides well explained lectures that provide examples and videos. He also makes sure that all his students are well prepared for tests which is something that all professors should be doing! Overall,amazing class with an amazing professor
Really fun online class that introduces you to criminology. Get ready to read though as his slides provide a lot but very helpful for the assignment's.
