He is a smart man and can be nice, but his arrogance is astounding. He makes you buy his book, requires you to attend his common-hour seminar (instead of going to one you want to, which is what its intended for) and gives you quiz questions about his life achievements. He doesn't teach about sociology at all, but teaches his opinions. Avoid.

10 page paper on a book he wrote that wasn't very well written and hard to follow - his lectures are engaging and not boring, he's funny, charismatic, knowledgable about many different things and you can tell he loves his students. tests are difficult even if you pay attention in class he doesn't cover everything on exams. he gives a chance for e.c

His lectures were very very boring but he's a cool guy. He's very kind and smart and the class is easy to pass. The tests are fair and it's an easy A as long as you do the big paper based on his own book.

He is a pretty good professor but I dont think I would take him again. But he does give you an opportunity for extra credit. He is pretty strict but also caring. He also gives you 10 extra points on your average if you miss less than 2 classes.

just going boosts your grade, very strict one moment and then lovely and then nice and caring the next, gives out test questions, handwriting not great, it's all acronyms and goes very fast so your best bet is to type or record

Dr. Gosine is my favorite professor I had at Suffolk. He really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass his class. He gives 2 test that he gives out the questions to, as well as a 10-12 page essay. He also gives extra credit. I would definitely take his class again.

He gives an assignment on a 12 page paper for you to write which is on a book you have to get. He gives a midterm & a final. Not bad, but just make sure you do that paper and on time, dont leave it for the last minute. He reviews a few questions thatll be on the test. You also take a lot of notes, he tends to ramble off but has good life lessons.

I will say that if you want to be inspired take him but if you don't like other people forcing politics on you, stay clear.... like far! He makes you do a 20 min presentation in front of class, hard midterm (STUDY!), and a five paper final to do in a week. If he gives extra credit it is extremely worth it( he will raise you a letter grade!)

Professor G was great, had him spring 2019. Warning there is a 10 pg paper that is due before spring break, if you stay on top of it youll do fine. There is also extra credit to move your grade up a whole grade. Prof G is very straightforward, and doesnt like you missing class. I would def take his class again. Dont be lazy.

I can't say enough good about him. He is funny, fair, and truly looks out for his students. He wants you to succeed and will help, but you will be expected to be a responsible student and do your part. Notes are important, and gives a lot of great advice on life in general. Great, wise, honorable man.

One of the worst professors I have taken. He is not clear on notes and gave a lot of information that was not accurate. Just try your best to get decent notes and do not do the research paper late. He gives the answers to some of the questions for the test, which you need because he can't teach. Rent the book for the book report, don't buy the text

Prof Gosine is my favorite professor at Suffolk. He is the sweetest man, hilarious & makes it clear that as long as you do the 3 assignments, he will make sure you get a very good grade. He puts his heart into his job, and loves to help his students pass! He gave us the whole semester to finish our papers & graded them within a few days. LOVED HIM!

Dr Gosine is one of those professors you dont exoect to find at a community college. He is a John Hopkins and Ivy league instructor. Take any course he teaches I also reco caribbean cultures if available. He is super engaged and his lectures will stay with you your entire life. You can absolutely get a great education at SCCC with profs like him.
