He isn't a bad teacher. He drops the lowest test score which is good, but if you don't read the chapter yourself, you will not learn everything from him in class as he only goes over certain areas. He has this one project that is a pain in the ass, but 1/4 of your grade so you have to do it- you go out and talk with people you don't agree with.

I took Professor Guillete online and had a great experience! He requires you post two discussion posts a week and take a quiz every week as well. Quizzes are due Mondays by 11:55pm. You also have to read other students postings as well! Really easy class and not a difficult work load.

One of my favorite professors, took him at the Poinciana campus for spring. All of our class meetings were mainly lectures but they were lectures that are super interesting and leave you with a lot to think about! The work load is not crazy, two discussion posts a week and the online quizzes. You will not regret taking him!

Amazing lectures

Wow I just took my first quiz and I want to drop this already. He uses honor lock which is to me at least very excessive considering what class it is. You have to read a chapter of the textbook and take a quiz of around 30 questions which is specifically from certain sentences of the book. Way too extra for a sociology class DNT if online.

Lots of homework

way too much going on, just in the first week. the layout of the course is very confusing. Every-time he sends an announcement it seems like he is yelling.

Throughout the entire course he was blatantly pushing his own agenda instead of teaching from multiple perspectives. He grades you on your personal opinions, morals, and values and will mark points off if you disagree with him and his agenda. His quizzes are on small unimportant details and numbers that you would never think to memorize. Horrible!

Very hard to get ahold of. Test were based on small portions of the book and facts not typically important. It was very fast past and ton of work for a intro class. Reached out about extra credit and was never answered. I am a student with a disability and he would not give me any type of assistance on timing or not taking.

Pros: He's a super cool guy. As long as you're a good student, he'll accommodate as needed. His assignments are pretty easy and quick and the discussions are super interesting. Cons: Honorlock.

Amazing professor. 2 quizzes every week and a discussion every 2 weeks. Very easy quizzes and easy discussions. Pretty much every test is on quizlet and they are just common sense as well. Very easy to reach. This professor really wants you to succeed. If you want an easy A, take him.

Honestly still taking him but really easy class as long as you do your work. Particular about discussion posts but after the first two you understand the criteria. Quizzes based on textbook & all on quizlet (use socratic). Pretty interesting topics and genuine guy. 1-2 discussion posts and a quiz every week, no major projects/papers.

Discussion posts three times a week, often about things unrelated to course material. Makes students purchase a book about "Critical Thinking" to encourage understanding different perspectives, but penalizes students that disagree with him. Quizzes have nothing to do with discussion posts. He grades fast, but his feedback comes across as entitled.

This professor was a super genuine guy, but the way the course was laid out was difficult. The only assignments were long multiple choice tests that were timed on honor lock, and the questions didn't feel necessary to know the answer to because mostly they were statistics that I looked over.

Long chapter reads each week, due Monday at 11:59. One assignment each week, 99.99 pts, 33 questions, 25 mins to complete, no outside resource can be used to answer the quiz (INCLUDING THE TEXTBOOK). No late work, or extra credit. Every other week an 8 point Critical Analysis. Very hard to recover any lost points from the quiz.

He is okay. Nothing more, nothing less. Just okay. The chapter quizzes are 25 minutes long with 33 questions each and are easy to complete as long as you read the chapters themselves. I do wish we got at least 45 minutes or no time limit since it's an online course but I get it. He gives good, constructive feedback to discussion post responses too.
