Easy Grade... ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GREEK!!! get one good grade n he will give you that grade for the term!
Great professor...you will love attending class.
Very engaging professor. Also very socially conscious. Recommend him highly.
He is the nicest teacher in the school...very kind person and a funny one too!
great teacher, recommended for everyone.....a must have at least once during queens college
A great an fun professor, take all your soc classes with him!!!
really a nice guy and funny. but could be a little clearer in his lessons.
very good professor. knows his stuff. very knowledgable. very helpful.
great teacher
a professor with a personality. He is kind and patient. He realizes that his students do not have the degree of education that he has and therfor is quite patient with explaining topics that are listed in his course of study.
AMAZING!! He let me pick my grade, whats better than that.
he's helpful in so many ways...let's you off easy if you miss any classes...tries to balance out your grades...
the best teacher ever.. madddd coool.. if u miss class he makes a joke outta it.. impossible not to get an A in the class, if u get anything lower than a B he'll help u to make it an A.. he is cool with his students too.. must take him at least once
Makes stats easy...great professor...makes going to class fun.
Great guy what else can I say. I would definitely recommend him. My only word of advice if you have to take Soc 334, take it with another professor. The only reason is b/c you really have to get something out of 334. For Soc 212 he's great.
i love this guy. He is funny and easy going. Highly recommended.
awesomeeeeeeeee
I've had him for 4 classes and you just dont get any better than him.
the best professor at queens...he's very smart, nice, and funny!!!
If your young and pretty, you have a better chance of getting an A. Has heavy accent-hard to understand. A lot of fooling around in class, not professional. If your serious about your school work - don't take him.
I took Alexious for Statistics and Methods 334. THE BEST PROFESSOR. Hes hilarious. Hes a very easy grader..If you become friends with him you're set. Either way a MUST TAKE!
He is the best professor you can possibly take at QC...easy A...very nice guy, funny, and fair
He's the sweetest guy ever, and he'll always explain everything as many times as you need him to. Curves tests, and on top of everything if ur a girl; he is absolutely gorgeous- Greek what do u expect?!
He is absolutely the hotteset professor. He is very generous, even if you think you're doing bad you're wrong, its an easy A!!!
This was the easiest class that I have ever taken in my life. That includes elementary school.
What can i say..ALEXIOU IS THE MAN
This is undoubtedly the easiest professor at QC. I did not even come to class on a daily basis and still got an A-. But if you really want to learn about whatever subject you may be taken from him. I suggest that you take another professor because you will not learn anything in his class. Recommende
I've taken 3 classes with him......if you're talking about not really learning much then yeah thats true because he brings into class many conversations of the real world. I must admit he have quite a sense of humor but if you want a good grade then you should take him. He is very nice and generou
if you want to learn and if you have no patience for bulls***, then don't take this class. if you want an easy A via giggling and not paying attention, then this is the professor for you.
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE HOTTEST PROF IN QC!!!!!! DEFINETLY A PLEASURE TO LOOK AT...what does it matter what he teaches!?!
Easygoing but tends to let class discussion go way off topic. I go to class to learn. Giggly immature Greek female students from Astoria adore him. Unfortunately, some don't attend class to gain knowledge. This makes his class rather annoying and a wasted opportunity for actual learning to occur.
the best teacher in the world......cant take a better teacher than him.
He is a charismatic professor, he analyzes his subject and he is very fair. I highly reccomend his class.
There is so much to say about him, but most importantly, he cant teach! The class will have to work harder with him then with any other professor. Might as well take someone else. he doesn't know how to be serious and can't give straight answers when you ask for help. Trust me take someonemoreseriou
i don't advise anyone takin this class.. i agree with the previous rater that he doesn't knoe how to teach.
good easy fun. enough said
Easiest A ever!
He is the best prof. that you can take. He is a charismatic person with a tremedous knowlege. I highly recoment him.
I HEART ALEXIOU!!!
he is awsome!! and adorable!!
Clear and extremely helpful. One of the last professors around who actually cares about his students. For these reasons I have taken four classes with him.
I felt he did not teach his class very much. He put stuff on the test that we did not learn. He always rushed us out. He was more concern with getting done fast.
alexiou is the man. simple as that.
He's a great professor, I did badly on the first exam, I got a 69%, and I went up to him after class and he changed my grade to a 77% but instead of making that a C+, he made it a B.My second test I got a 90% and I'm sure I'll do terrific on the 3rd exam. There are 3 exams, final is optional, 2 lab assignments, homeworks and participation.He's grea
Statistics is no joke. alexiou's certainly not the greatest or worst for that matter. he does however have his good moments. take him at your own risk. not really sure why soc dept requires you to include 205 in the major. they should make it an elective as you don't really need it unless you want to go into research. but that's a different story..
You need to study to do well in statistics but Prof Alexiou is an easy grader and always very helpful.
THIS IS THE SWEETEST, SEXIEST PROFESSOR AT QUEENS COLLEGE. JUST SHOW UP TO CLASS, DO THE ASSIGNMENTS AND YOU WILL GET AN A NO MATTER WHAT YOU GET ON THE TESTS. PLUS HE IS ONE OF TEH ONLY TEACHERS WHO HAS "NEGOTIATION DAY" FOR YOUR GRADES. P.S. HE SMELLS GREAT!
i dont know wat ur all talkin about he is a very hard professor his final is not optional for everyone u have to study hard for all the tests and u have hard lab assigments take someone else
Statistics is not easy no matter who teaches it. Little hard to understand at times but very fair. He tries to accomodate. He is not an easy Professor by no means. You still have to do the work assignments, homework assignments, lab assignments and 3 tests plus an optional final, the work is up to you. If you do not show up, your lost. He is fair a
he is the best professor. some you people assume that if a teacher is more down to earth, then you wouldnt have to study for tests or do your work. well your in college and you do. hes VERY reasonable. gives reviews (including a review sheet)and tries(cares) his hardest for his students to do very well! highly recomm prof..

Only word I can say is that he is the BEST!!!!
This professor is excellent!! He gives you a review before each test. He sits down with you to go over your grades at the end of the semester. He has read so many books, so you can't bull...t, he will tell you to lie and there is a difference. He is very funny.
One of the best teachers at queens, he makes you laugh + smile. I thought his test were pretty easy and at times a little difficult. But he practically gives you the answers thru out the test. If u study, it just pops out to you. I made sure I took a class with him before i graduated, and i don't regret it.
no other words to describe him...amazing
An amazing teacher and a beautiful human being. Very approachable, and truly wants students to succeed.
Prof Alexiou is great, he tries to simplify as much as possible a rather boring subject, doesnt base his class on math, as long as you understand a few key formulas and concepts the tests shoudnt be hard, awesome personality and very understanding.. easy A. i wish he would teach more socio classes, taking him again next semester
Professor Alexiou is amazing. He takes a subject that virtually interests no one and makes the class so much fun. It's not necessarily easy, but he helps so much he practically gives you the answers. You must take him - he has the best personality of any prof. at QC
One of the best professor's QC has to offer, especially in the Soc Dept.Class was fun,discussions were heated,test info was given.He allows you alot of creatativity on your papers.He is interested in knowing you have openeded your eyes to Social iminagination.Essay test, research papers.He is the bomb in anything he teaches!Take him at least once
great
Cool class cool professor. The great thing is that he is funny. Intersting lessons and topics.
I LOVE HIS CLASS!
great teacher. hope i'm in another of his classes. answers questions, informative and makes the info simple for you.
he is a good prof. he tries 2 explain everything but sometimes he has a hard time.1 thing i didnt like- he would teach new material on the day b4 the test so we had no prctice in the new stuff. try to take this class with furnari. u will understand it better.he spends half the class talking about random things and teaches for like half hour
He is the greatest professor in Queens College!
BEST TEACHER I EVER TOOK IN QUEENS... HIS HELPFUL AND MAKES THE CLASS LOTS OF FUN.. HELPS U OUT ON THE TEST.. IF U WANT A GOOD GRADE IN THIS CLASS U NEED TO BE IN CLASS EVERYDAY AND DO YOUR WORK.. TAKE HIM, MAKES A HARD CLASS EASY
No Comments
he was an awesome prof. i am horrible at math and still passed not with a high mark but i did at least i dont have to take it over... social stats is hard and im happy that i passed and the course load isnt much just take good notes and study from them, show up and do ur work try hard thats what he cares about!
HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING, HE GIVES YOU ENOUGH TIME TO GET YOUR PAPERS IN. TAKE HIM, YOU WOULDN'T REGRET IT.
FUNNY, YOU WILL PASS EVEN IF YOU FAIL EVERY TEST, COME TO CLASS HE ALWAYS LETS YOU OUT EARLY.
HE is the greatest prof ever!!! Easy Grader, funny, informative, passionate about what he teaches, laid-back. Hes the full package!!!
i absolutely loved this class. alexiou was just great. he was extremely friendly and funny. he jokes around a lot but still gets to the point of what hes teaching. if you dont understand something you can either ask him in class or get one-on-one with him so that you can understand the material better. he was just awesome. i highly recommend him.
This guy is the man. One hell of a teacher, I guarantee it is one class you will look forward to going to, that is if you like to debate and participate. Best professor in QC, bar-none.
He is definitely the best teacher that i have ever had. Just make sure he knows who you are ad that you kinda try and you will get an A!!!!
one of the best sociology prof in qc.Im glad that i took his class.he makes the class and lesson fun.always willing to work with you when u do not understand the material in class.his reviews are very helpful to get good grades in the exams.End of the term he talks to every student about their grades and how much they have learned over the course.
I loved him! He has to be my favorite professor here! He is very funny, be prepared to hear a lot about Greece. He, in my opinion, was a great professor, as long as u do ur hw assignments and attend class(at least most),u should be fine.It doesn't hurt to speak up in class either, that will improve ur grade by at least 2 letter grades end of semes
i wish more professors where like him in queens college.. great professor i took him twice.. very understanding ...THE BEST
Alexious is the man! My fellow Greek!!! I loved his class. He made a hard class, very interesting and good to understand for exams. Everyone take him!
He is awesome! I'm not Greek and I absolutely love his class! as long as you study for his exams there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A.
This is one of the best Professor in the Sociology Dept ever!!!
This professor is awesome. he is so awesome I will even write my name on this review. My name is Tahl Leibovitz. This guy is the best professor in QC. Totally awesome. You suck if you don't take his class.
He is such a nice professor. Has a great sensse of humor and had a good connection with his students. He is an easy grader but you have to work for your grade. Definitely recommend him.
I took him for Ethnic Media. The test is not easy, meaning you need the book to study off and write down your answer.From All of the Queens College professor, he is soo cool and takes everything is consideration. You learn and look at thing differently once you have taken him. He's define what education should be like!!
Professor Alexiou is one of the greatest professors I have had in my academic career thus far. He is a very impressive man, with very interesting things to say. His class is enjoyable and I highly recommend him for this class, SOC 331. If you keep up with the readings you will do splendidly on the exams... & participating is always a plus!
If you need to take socio 205 he is the best professor. just show up to class, do the labs and you be fine!!!!
If you need to take socio 205, he is the professor you need. Just show up to class do your labs/homework and you be fine.very easy grader!!!! take him!!!!
Pretty good.
He is too cute. Wants his students to do well..and helps them if you show youre determined. He likes to joke around. The class isnt easy tho... if you dont work hard you wont do well. However, he makes a hard subject not so difficult.
Definitely cute. The class isn't easy but he is helpful, has mercy on your grade, and makes a boring topic doable. He has a Greek accent that is a little hard to understand but he cracks jokes all the time and makes the class laugh.
Wonderful Professor! You must take him! No textbook. All material on Blackboard. Helps students to understand the material. Exams are blue book responses on how much you learned about the topic. He is willing to help you to get a good grade. Has an amazing persona and I wish i could take him for all of my classes t QC!
I absolutely Love this professor, he's funny, makes the class interesting.. I took him for Statistics 205 & I hate that subject but he helped me & gave me a decent grade. Take him you won't regret, he rarely fails people.
I don't know understand how this professor's ratings are so high when he is always late to class (by 10 to 20 minutes!), always goes off on unrelated tangents, and often unclear when it comes to explaining the material. I would never take another class with him.
AMAZING!!!
This guy is amazing, you have to study and memorize vocab, but the math is easy. As long as you show up, do your HW, and make it seem as you are working hard you will get a very good grade.
Definitely would take professor Alexiou again!!! Hilarious and simple amazing!!!! I have taken him for 3 classes and received A's in all 3!!! Do the worked you are asked for and you will be perfectly fine!!
He is so sweet and such an easy grader.!i couldn't find the book he assigned so he gave me his copy to read. Simply one of a kind I definitely recommend taking his classes
He is an amazing professor!!! anyone that takes him wont regret it. He is by far the BEST stats professor... always there to help no matter what. :)
He's a great professor but moves through the lectures way too quickly and doesn't stop to explain unless someone asks. He is extremely nice and people take advantage of him which isn't quite right. He is also very helpful and will do anything to help you pass this course. The material is very difficult.
LOVE Professor Alexiou! I had the pleasure of taking his study abroad course in Greece, and he made the experience 100x better!!
I took him for study abroad winter 17 and after my experience I only have great things to say about him! He's very caring like most Greeks and always makes his students a priority. Take Professor Alexiou!
He's a great funny person, but I wouldn't take him. I didn't understand anything he says, he would talk about things other than soc 205. plus he would teach really quick and except you to get it.
Lectures are unclear. You basically have to study on your own. Dont get fooled by the easy atmosphere in class. The material is difficult. Tests are extremely long (8+ pages), difficult, and consist a lot of concepts. Lab works are difficult to understand too. Show all your work, then he will do anything to help you pass this course even you fail
Political Sociology was a very laid back class. We had a written midterm (blue book) and a paper for the final with a few writing assignments in between. If you study, the midterm is easy and the final paper was also easy to write. Good class for those who are graduating and also very insightful subject area.
Professor Alexiou was great once you get past his accent. He has a great sense of humor and his explanations are good. His textbook was very good and he really cares about the students. A very tough grader but he is generous in the end.
I would give another prof. a shot and skip him. Perks: end class early, friendly, extra credit, gives online textbook, he's knowledgable. Bad: will end class when we're confused/don't participate, thick accent (idc), unclear with work, can't teach ("that's the answer b/c it is type"), doesn't post grades, online testsWORST. Always timed out/hard
DO! NOT! TAKE! midterm 40% final 50%. gives 4 questions in advance, says he'll chose only 3 but gives ALL. EACH question must b answered in 800!!! words so a total of 2400 words. gives only about 3 hours to do it. there is written hw 10% but he never specifies what each hw is about. NEVER posted the hws or grades. PLEASE AVOID HIM TAKING HIM!
Enjoyed the material in the class but the professor could have done a better job. Gives weekly HW but doesn't put it up on blackboard to submit. Doesn't grade the HW either. I got no feedback on my midterm essay and probably no feedback on my final as well. The class was not structured enough to garner conversation during lecture, was boring classe
Very sweet, truly cares about his students well being. He may not be the best at teaching, you have to really self teach yourself the whole time, but his powerpoints are the best to help you. Had two tests, some hws. Your mostly graded by tests! I would say give him a shot if you can self teach yourself well. Overall, class was short and was sweet
Was very unprofessional. Made it seem like grades would be based on many different things and than it was entirely based on midterm and final
I loveeeed this class so much. The exams were so easy (just make sure to do the readings in the textbook, all the answers are there) He rarely gives homework and when he does, you have about a week to do it. One thing is that he does take a couple of days to respond to emails but other than that, he was an amazing prof. He also gives extra credit!!
Best professor for this class. Took his class asynchronous and it was an easy A. 4 homeworks and 2 exams. Homework answers were all in textbook. He provides free e-book. Also offered 2 extra credit
Surely a amazing professor, just not online, that's how I summarize it. To not his fault though, he clearly has decades of experience, just not online & that lack of touch with technology does show. I worried for my grade but in the end, I contacted him & we were able to come to a grade that I'm okay with. Unless he changes it last minute somehow.
Great prof. Has a lot to give you.
This professor was very easy. One assignment (3 prompts), one midterm with 3 prompts and one final paper of your choice. He likes in depth writing. If you're a good writer you'll pass this class with ease. He's also very nice and democratic. Participation and Attendance are not majorly important if you have a group chat. Nice guy.
Take the class with him. I really slacked off due to unforseen events in my life and i got an A.... only did 2 tests. NOTHING else, didnt even do the homework. professor is also very respectful and helpful, very nice man to have a 3 hour class with. I wish he taught everything...
Kinda sucks that we have to pay $80 for sage for the textbook and chapter quizzes. 2 multiple choice exam that's it. Easy class
I loved this professor, hes so understanding and caring. He makes the class so fun. I adore his accent! Had a midterm and a final. Both were easy as long as you listen in class or just study the textbook.
Professor Alexiou makes SOC101 an engaging and manageable class. The exams are straightforward if you do the readings, and unstuckstudy proved helpful for efficient study prep.
i went to his lectures about 5 times over the entire semester and still managed to do good. He was really sweet and funny and likes to interact with the students. If sociology wasnt boring for me I wouldve attended his lectures more just cuz of who he is. Tests were online and we didnt have anything else graded.
Prof. Alexiou is very passionate about Sociology.He truly cares about his students & although his lectures are a bit hard to follow through he was the reason y I decided to become a double major (started with Psychology Major,Sociology Minor).Go 2 class,participate, do assignments & u will do fine.Not the easiest A but obviously possible w/ effort.
TAKE HIS CLASS TO BOOST YOUR GPA!!! THATS ALL IM GOING TO SAY!
one of the most caring and respectable professors ever. so understanding, fun to talk with, and definitely an easy class with him. graded by exams that are online and attendance boosts your final grade. honestly an amazing professor!!
The tests and assignments for this class are very easy, and he is a very nice person who genuinely cares about his students. However, he does have a very strong accent. If you actually want to learn, it might be a bit difficult. He doesn't really have slides up, and most of the time he just talks.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!
Professor Alexiou is a very sweet and caring professor. He really cares about his students and provides the textbook for free. He also cares to hear stories, so be ready to share one lol.
Professor Alexiou is caring and funny. His lectures are simple and straightforward. Sometimes its difficult to understand what he is trying to convey. Although the class was easy and we had 4 homeworks, 2 online exams. Easy Credit class.
As kind and caring as a professor can get. He truly cares about his students and creates the most welcoming classroom. However, lectures were disorganized and hard to follow. Half the time we looked at the posted slides, the other half we would just listen to him talk. If you want an easy A and are willing to sit through boring lectures, take him.
Professor Alexiou is super funny and caring. There are only 2 online tests and a few writing assignments regarding readings, but they are super easy to comprehend. If you plan to not go to class, make sure to check Brightspace because they will announce exams, etc. I would definitely take this class again.
He is a great Professor
