He's really interested in what he teaches and is well educated in his field. Course is very interesting and will get your attention with the topics in this class. I highly recommend this course.

He was a first-year professor when I took his class, and I was a first-year college student. I dont think he was the greatest teacher to get the first year of college, but whatever. He was unorganized. When he didnt want to lecture he played Def Poets, which was a waste of time. Not the greatest teacher but not the worst teacher. Laid back class.

Good teacher, but a bit vanilla even though he tries to make it interesting. Mostly tells you dates where this and this happened and shows a lot of documentaries. Only 3 short essays to write and several tests, grades easy, gives fair extra credit. Gives you a helpful study guide and goes over what's going to be on the test beforehand.

He's disorganized. He often has to look back at his notes to continue lecture. He's supposed to teach out of the 10th Edition textbook and when I asked if it was okay to use the 9th edition, he wasn't really helpful. Then I find out his handouts are based off of the 9th edition. He starts his lectures with music, but that doesn't really help.

This professor was recommended to me, and I am so disappointed. His tests are tricky multiple choice questions, and one essay question about Assimilation Model, which he does not explain that much.

He is very entertaining, smart and passionate about his teaching. He pours out way too much information at once and his pace of teaching is really fast. You'll be watching a lot of documentaries and taking QUIZZES on them. You'll do up to 3 BIG ESSAYS, and around 4-5 ONLINE TESTS. His lectures are unrelated to the test questions, unfortunately.

He's likeable enough but he has a tendency to go off topic way too much. He talks a lot but says very little. I like it when teachers try to be relatable but he went way overboard and wasted a lot of class time. That being said, the class is an easy A as long as you do the work.

Professor George is an amazing teacher, if he taught other subjects I would take his classes. You basically take notes the whole semester hence it is a lecture class but he expects you to be writing down what he says for lectures. 6 Pop attendance, a 7 page paper but don't worry you will have about 4 months to work on the paper and it's easy.

You are required one book and you must read the book. He does online quizzes and test so it is crazy easy to pass since its open book. But if you read, you will pass with flying colors. There is extra credit so be sure to attending every class. Also POP-Attendance and that can affect your grade if you don't attend class.

Professor George is fantastic. He's there to help you learn about sociology especially if it is your major. You can always stop by his office, and talk to him about anything. His quizzes and tests are online which are open book. There is a pretty big essay he assigns but he offers help if you need it.

Prof. G is a funny guy, and keeps class lively. He encourages students to participate, and invites students to office hours to talk about anything. Read before every class. There's a few assignments. My class wrote 2 essays and 3 video notes based on videos/documentaries. Tests, quizzes and final are online and open note. Very manageable class. :)

Cool, funny teacher who enjoys what he does. I will say though, take notes, the tests pulls specific information that's easy to forget. And if your having trouble, ask, he is willing and wants to talk but if your failing and stay quite, you'll probably continue to fail.

He does tend to go off at times but most of the time his rants do connect with the subject relating to sociology. He cares a lot about his students and encourages them to visit him on office hours for the paper (and trust me, he gives back great feedback). This is a fairly easy class if you attend daily and take good notes; you will learn a lot.

Prof. George is an open and honest professor. All quizzes and tests are taken on D2L at home. He is very funny! He plays videos and dances at the beginning of every class to lighten the mood. We did three essays in his SOC 300 class, which were only 2-3 pages long. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, but he does pop attendance!

Great guy with a lot of knowledge on the subject. A real in-depth class where you will learn a lot, but he will hold you to a standard of a scholar. This is the lowest grade I've gotten in a class so far, but he is also one of the best teachers I've ever had. You will learn a lot about our society in this class but not an easy A.

Professor George is unlike any Professor I've had before. He's very chill and funny, but can be serious when he needs to be.

Since this was an online class I knew it would be slightly easygoing based on the syllabus. While I enjoyed the lack of assignments and the due dates in between, I probably wouldn't take him again due to the lack of posting grades on time and the videos he sends out to check up on students. The class itself was alright and there's only 2 essays.

Super fun professor. Liked his lectures so much I'd sit in on his other classes just to learn from him. Easy A, he's trying to really get through to students, not make them worried about passing or failing a simple course. Textbook "required" but between lectures and videos you don't really need it. Very lecture heavy but he's entertaining.

I am thoroughly disappointed in this class. Not only is the subject matter severely outdated (the book itself is almost 10yrs old) but his lectures are monotoned and do not cover the whole chapter. He also has unclear assignments with very poorly put together examples that do not follow the chapter (for a chapter outline). Would not recommend.

Prof. George is an understanding teacher. If you plan to take SOC320, be prepared to teach yourself the course and keep up with lectures and materials. He does NOT reach out often, nor does he check in and make sure you're keeping up. His class was self-paced as well as self-taught. Hardly responds accordingly to emails.
