TAKE THIS CLASS if you get the chance. Judson is a wonderful teacher and has me really interested in Sociology. I'm considering a major in it now because of him, and I'd go out of my way to take another one of his classes. He is wonderful.

Judson has to be one of the greatest professors at Loyola. He really cares about what he's teaching and wants his students to learn. He is extremely funny and I can't wait to go to class everyday. If you pay attention in class and do the readings you will be fine. There is a paper, however he lets you do revisions for a better grade.

He is honestly one of the BEST professors at Loyola. His class counts for core, but it's because of him I'm considering declaring my major in sociology. He's so helpful and uses stories and material from everyday life to teach the class, which I feel makes it more relevant. 3 exams (one is the final) and you're allowed 3 absences. TAKE HIM!!

If you're ever going to take SOCL101, just pick Judson - even if you have to wait a semester. He starts by writing learning objs. on the board. He then tells stories and makes you laugh for 50-70 minutes. At the end, you somehow learned everything but feel like you just took a break from life. After lessons, he uploads take-away points as review.

Judson is by far one of my professors I have taken at Loyola. His lectures are interesting and hilarious! He relates everything to the real world and makes everything really easy to understand. There are readings for class but they aren't terribly long. There is one quiz per week but he usually tells/hints what day it will be on. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Hands down best professor I've ever had. I looked forward to going to class, even at a whopping 8:30 am. His lectures are hilarious and he teaches the material in a way that you remember it. Grades are based on 3 tests, weekly one-question quizzes based on the readings, and a short writing assignment. Just do your work and you're guaranteed an A.

Dr. Everitt is a fantastic lecturer. I had him for a 2.5 hr class so the odds are stacked against him and he still manages to be engaging and funny. He gets laughs almost every class. The readings are a bit annoying but from my experience the grading is pretty easy and if you know how to skim you'll do well.

Dr. Everitt is the best professor I have ever had. He is so funny and makes the course enjoyable and interesting with his stories that he tells. All three exams and the weekly one-question quizzes are open note and take-home. The amount of work that he assigns can look daunting, but honestly it is not necessary to do well in the course.
