such a good course! not incredibly difficult. he has a thick accent, but he realizes it and doesn't take offense if you can't understand him (but you have to ask if you don't understand). he's from china, so his perspective on sociology is all from experience, not from a book.

Horrible teacher! Boring class! Anytime you tried to ask questions or debate w/ him, he would start talking in circles before he finally just brushed you off. I took the course in the summer so there was only 12 class dates. You get 200 points total for coming to class, but if you miss a class, he takes off 40 pts! 12 times 40 does NOT equal 200!!!

Dr. Wei is performance oriented. If you put forth effort, he'll help you as best he can. If you don't care, neither will he. His class is not extremely hard, but you've got to hustle and keep up with the work he gives you. Also, watch out on his tests. The questions can be worded in a tricky way.

I can honestly say that I spent the entire semester in the back of the class watching Netflix. The professor is very smart however the quizzes are online and you can find the answers on quizlet. Attendance is 20% of the grade and 30% are the three papers he assigns. He isn't a very tough grader and I got 100% on all the papers.

I took this class looking for an easy A as I took the summer 6 week class. You can get an easy A, do the papers, show up (mandatory) and all quizzes are online. SO you just have to worry about the tests. His lectures are SOOOOO long. . You can do other work in his class and he doesn't care. Did I mention that his lectures are sooo long and boring!!

I took this class online and during the summer. There is a discussion every week. reading is not mandatory and its easy to get by without a book. There were two super easy papers 600 words. There were 4 tests that were kinda hard, but he gives you a study guide when it comes time so use it.

Intro to Sociology summer course. Discussion board due weekly. There are 4 proctored tests, study the terms on Quizlet and you will passes with an A. There are two small papers. As long as you hit the word count and stay on topic you will get an A. Very easy class. Does offer extra credit through volunteer work, I did not do it.

Dr. Wei is a pretty good professor in my opinion. His criteria for work is very clear and as long as you do it then you are most likely going to get a 100. People say he is boring but I didn't have any problems with it. You don't even really have to study that much if at all to get an A in this class, just don't miss too many days and do the work

Dr. Wei is a good guy. He is very knowledgeable on the subject that he teaches. Almost every class is a full lecture, but almost all of the material is straight from the textbook. If you're considering this class as an alternative to Psychology, it is a good choice, but you will be bored at times.

The class is super easy, he has you take notes and you don't even have to you can just sit there. The slides he presents in class are accessible outside of class. The first test is in person and the others are online. If you study you will be fine on the tests and some of the answers for the tests are actually online. He has an accent btw!

Dr. Wei is an easy teacher if your looking to pass. All his classes are lectures and it could really get boring, but you can literally do nothing in the class and be alright. I took him for intro to sociology and most days I was in the back corner watching Netflix. I would type more but i'm running out of characters. Take him!!!!!

I took the class online and the basic layout was that you receive a study guide for a test (which covers about 4 chapters) and for the next few weeks, you do a weekly assignment (you are given two topics and respond to both 150 words each, easy A). Then, you study the study guide really well because the test will be very hard (and is proctored).
