good teacher, cool to chill with and funny at times
Pretty easy class, take home mid-term and final and a paper, pretty simple...can be boring at times, Just don't fall asleep in class :)
Great Teacher. Get him for any sociology class you can. He is incredibly easy and he lets class out early all of the time. You actually learn a lot also. An easy A for anyone who can write a paper.
Great teacher. Amusing and keeps your attention. Take-home mid-terms and excellent note handouts for every lecture. Highly recommend.
He's hot, funny, and a good prof. def take his class
Great teacher. Definitely my best at Towson so far. Pretty easy class. One huge paper. Great guy. Very funny and lets you out early a lot. Def. take this class.
Great teacher, easy going
I have all good things to say except that his class can be pretty boring sometimes. He is a cool professor. His tests are all papers. Definitely take this class or another one of his. I'm taking another class with him next semester. Greatly recommeded.
boring, har to understand, not there to offer any help.
Take him, he is like the greatest professor ever. Can be a little boring, but he tries to make this stuff fun. Plus he's easy on the eyes.
So not worth the time, if i didnt want to learn anything i should of taken swimming, not to mention he is not easy to follow on his requirements for papers.
His lecs are hard to follow at times.Papers can be hard to write because theories aren't explained well. Uses a stupid photocopy binder so you can't always look for additional info
Very nice man loves "da Dart" however if you don't like doing papers do NOT sign up for this class. 3 TEN PAGE papers. WARNING 3 count'em THREE ten page papers!!
I love this class, interesting subject, funny funny guy, makes random comments. 3 12 page papers, but not hard to do.
easy class, adds random funny comments, tries to make the class as fun as possible..take home midterm and final one 12 page paper, easy to write though. Make sure you turn off your cell phone cause he likes to answer them. Take any class with him
GREAT CLASS. This guy keeps you entertained and thinking. It's exceptionally easy, i got an A on the midterm papers and did them both the night before. Very clear, he gives you the paper print outs of his power point presentations. No notes!
good teacher, easy class, easy assignments except for final (12 pages), interesting topics and labs that take the whole class, doesn't care about attendance. take for any sociology class you can
great teacher. really funny. he dances and plays music. 3 12 page papers but no tests. class can be kind of boring but he is awesome.
He's a great teacher, and anyone should take this class. He's pretty funny and you do some experiments that can be funny also. Be prepared to write three papers, but they're not too bad, as long as you understand what we learned in class
Very friendly and laid back. He makes learning fun. He does let you out of class early sometimes and the Midterm was a take home. If you need a 300 level SOCI clas, take Munroe.
Awesome professor. I would highly recommend Dr. Munroe. He is really funny. The sociology methods class isn't too bad with him. He explains what he wants very clearly. Good luck!
Dr. Munroe puts this class together very well. 'lab's are hilarious and get the point. material pertinent to everyday life. the 3 12 page papers in the class are easy if you know whats going on. but don't skip class, he takes it personally. Dr. Munroe still a very cool teacher to have
He's a great teacher. Very Easy. No book needed. Three 12 page papers based on lecture. No Final, mid-term or tests. Actually learned things!
One 12 page paper (dont put it off, or ur gonna be sorry, trust me, do it on the easiest theory) Really good teacher thou, he played Toni Braxton's CD to explain a theory IT WAS CRAZY.then today he played Percy Sledge(oldies but goodes if ya aint kno)to explain anotha one. Good class very chill.TAKE
Easy class, but don't take him if you are the kind of person who likes to know exactly what the prof expects of you. He is so disorganized and changes due dates constantly. Great class to take if you want to space out for 35 minutes (he never keeps you for the full 50 min).
Great teacher. You do three 12 pages papers and thats it. The papers are written about personal experiences and applying a theory to them. Relativly easy course to get an A in.
I love this man! He is so funny and a really great teacher. Gives the option of takehome midterm and final-do the takehome, very easy. One 12 page paper, not bad at all. He plays music in class and gives you the powepoint presentations so u dont have to take notes. Labs are easy-and if u participate u get extra credit. Take him! Cute too :)
Awesome professor- Highly reccomended!
Munroe was an easy-going professor. He tries hard to relate the four topics to our everyday lives, using music by Maroon 5 and such. The topics aren't to hard if you actually read and listen to his lectures. I'd take him over again for any class, only

This was the best Sociology class I have ever taken. It was really good and it was a lot of fun. We did labs periodically but for the most part it was lecture. There are three papers in total. One term paper and the midterm and final are take home in long essay form. This is a Sociology class worth taking.
3 12 page papers....have to apply concepts learned in class to them. only take if u like a lot of writing.
Excellent class...only 3 papers.. will clarify various concepts in society...very fun...prof. very easy on the eyes..
this class was funny...... when a cell phone rang he picked it up in the middle of class and he also looks out the door where the student looks.........overall he is good teacher,2 take tome essay tests and term paper but easy to bs your way through
Very nice teacher. doesnt count attendence but will point you out in front of the class if you show up late or ask for materials taht were given during the class you missed. He is easy going, will explain things and help with ideas on the papers. I am currently taking him for socl 391, I deffinetly plan on getting him for as many class' as i can.
amazing teacher. sad that i probably won't have him ever again but his classes were always funny and interesting! definitely take him if you have the chance.
Nice guy, very easygoing. Actually works with you to get a good grade
Great professor. I recommend him.
he is a great professor. if you study and pay attention you'll do fine on the tests (midterm and final). research paper has 5 sections but you turn a couple sections at a time throughout the semester. he has a charming way of making a point. you'll enjoy this class!
Dr. Munroe is AWESOME. I had him when he first started at Towson.He presents material in a fun/entertaining/interesting way.He used to pass out dictionaries to people and once he let the class out early and encouraged people to reconvene at Bateman's instead (nobody showed up and we all felt bad about it afterwards).
Fun and interesting course. 3 papers at least 12pages in length. Not to hard to do though considering their content. Interesting course & fun instructor. Attendance not mandatory. Chill Laid-back class... good to take with a heavy course load. Gives great insight into everyday life. Good life-skills type course.
Munroe is okay. I dreaded going to his class since it made me want to go to sleep. The class was very dry and boring, but the man is a really sweet guy. He's super funny and cracks one-liners like no one's business. He makes you do 3 article summaries and doesnt really explain them, which sucked. Tests are okay. Study.
He's cute! He doesn't take attendance ut you should go if you want to do well in his class. I really didn't read the book other than using it for my project but you should still get it. He's a nice guy and he'll work with you if you need help.
He's a very laid-back individual. He doesn't take any crap from students though, he'll call you out. He explains the material very well and his tests are an average level of difficulty. Overall great class and professor.
Where do I start with this guy? I thought this would be an easy elective, boy was I wrong! There are 3, 12-page papers, which will make you want to gauge your eyes out. His lectures have nothing to do with the handouts, which you have to use for the papers. Please save your time, money, and sanity! STAY AWAY!STAY FAR,FAR AWAY!!!
i adore him. hes so sweet funny cute-as-a-button but really knows the info and very well established in the soci community. breaks down info so its easy to understand.
3 12-page papers are time consuming, but he doesn't grade too hard. He wastes a lot of class time giving out F's (it's a joke he has, which he does every single class) which is kind of frustrating after a few weeks. Labs can be very interesting and class isn't bad overall. I'm taking him again.
Very funny guy and easy to get along with. Class can be dry but he makes it interesting. For the people that complain about papers sociology is all about report writing so get used to it. I highly recommend this professor.
Definitely an intro class, if you just read on your own class doesn't even seem necessary.Lectures are boring even though he is a quirky guy. 3 or more absences and then a point off your total grade each time after. 2 midterms and 1 final plus 3 one page peer reviewed journal summaries (easy). all exams are multiple choice, an easy A if you try.
While this wasn't the most exciting class, it was easy to understand and he prepared us well for the tests. Pretty good teacher overall.
Mediocre class! He was extremely boring (VERY dry humor) and he Never stayed on topic, not to mention he pretty much always ran out of time to explain anything claerly for understanding. No tests, just 3 papers (based entirely on text/notes). Each paper gets easier to write. Easy class, boring teacher...up to you! *shrugs*
Great prof. Do the paper on something you really want to do when you graduate. You turn it in by sections so its not a whole paper at once. He is always available to help you out. Very funny and cool. Luv him
I love him. He is funny, but the class is boring. Only three 12-page papers, but if you're a good writer, it's easy. Just show up to class and participate in labs and you're golden.
Not a bad class. There are 3 12pg min papers you have to write which might sound overwhelming but he tells you exactly how to format it and what he wants. Quote/cite from the readings in the pprs. He is an interesting professor, kind of odd but not in a bad way. I recommend this class.
This class was time consuming. I took it because I thought it would be really interesting but it turned out to be all theories. 3 12 page papers throughout the semester. The first time writing them was so frustrating but I promise they get easier. CITE FROM THE ARTICLES!!! He loves it if you go that extra step. Honestly I wouldn't recommend taking
Great teacher, interesting material. need to use both lecture notes and textbook to get good grades on tests. pretty easy if you put in effort
I would take this teacher in every class he teaches. He's obviously passionate about the subject and the labs are a riot. It was the only class I never missed. The papers are not bad at all, a third is just a story. They're really actually quite easy and he's not a hard grader
I love this prof! He is so funny and always gives real examples of each theory he talks about. His 12 pg papers are the only grades and are simple, just follow directions! Easy grader, just cite from the book!! Wish he taught more classes I need!!
P. Munroe is the man! My favorite at Towson. His class is very interesting and he does a good job helping you understand the lectures. He relates a lot to his life & is extremely funny. You have 3 twelve page papers but honestly they are very easy. In the papers you talk about your life & copy the notes from powerpoints. TAKE HIM
Easy class. Material is a little boring but he is fun to listen to. The only real work is 3 12-page papers, but you get to pick 3 out of 4 to do. Very easygoing. Took attendance every class but I'm not sure if he penalizes for absence. Didn't seem like it. Final is based on songs that relate to the material. I chose to take another class of his too
I loved his class! was so much fun and very interesting! not exams or paper! only thing is 3 papers that are 12 pages each but the way he breaks it down is super easy! and on top of that these papers arent like research papers. you just take a situation and then analyze it through the theories that you get for each section! super easy!
Took two of his courses at the same time. Material can be a little tough to understand but he does a great job on explaining it in terms that students can relate to. If you don't understand something he will go over it until you understand it. 12 page papers but he tells you exactly what he wants. Great guy, funny, awesome teacher!
Professor Munroe is an interesting teacher. His quirkiness makes the class interesting but the way he teaches the lectures is pretty redundant. In class "labs" make attendance important. Assignments are all in the form of papers (15 pagers) but they are pretty easy to write and he is a pretty generous grader as long as you cover the main material.
This is the best sociology teacher at Towson. I have taken 4 classes with him now and all were great! He makes it fun while teaching you what you need to know. Research methods was suppose to be awful but he made it easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Take methods with Munroe if you can!! The exams are really easy if you show and, pay attention, and look over what he covers on study guide. The paper is broken down into sections so you don't have to sit down and writer 15 pgs at once. He gives excellent feedback so you know exactly how to get an A on paper.
No test except a final. This class really wasn't what I expected. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The in class labs are interesting. He's a really nice and funny guy but I really didn't enjoy the class itself. 4 12 page papers but they aren't that hard.
Munroe is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He cares so much about his students and wants everyone to do their best. He is extremely helpful. The tests are easy as long as you study and come to class. I would take him again in a heart beat. Stats was one of my biggest stressors but he made it manageable. Great professor!
Loved this class! It isn't what you expect but it is highly interesting. His teaching style is... different. You will have to pay attention to the lectures and really understand what he is talking about. The whole class is 3 12 page papers which are easy to write and a final on songs played in class. Be open minded about this course.
He's a good teacher and makes class fun with labs that you can participate in or observe. There are no tests in the class. just 4 twelve page papers, but you only have to do 3 of the 4 papers.
Good at writing? You will pass this class no problem. You do need to go to class however because he does have these labs but no fret, the labs are actually very entertaining! Munroe is entertaining himself until the material gets boring. Take him though because it is an easy A if you go to class and write the papers!
Professor Munroe is freakin awesome. There are no tests in this class only 3 papers thought out the semester two including the midterm and final. He's not a picky grader at all which I loved, as long as you know what you're talking about he'll give you an A. Labs are fun and dome spontaneously so make sure you attend class. Overall awesome guy
Munroe is such a great professor. He doesn't give any tests. The midterm and final and both take home essays. He does labs about four times a semester that include role playing so it's fun and he's pretty goofy so you won't be bored. I would deff take his class again
I loved this class. No tests, just 3 12-page papers. They're really easy and he gives an outline. He makes lectures interesting and connects them to students' lives, He is always willing to answer questions and slow down if needed. Definitely taking a class form him again.
I had him for the intro class and I thought it was great! We had 2 midterms and a final which I thought were really easy. He gets distracted at times but it's pretty funny and his humor makes the class more enjoyable. Just read the textbook and the powerpoints and you're golden.
Sociology 101 was such a great class with this professor. Although he did stray from the topic here and there, we all got the gist and he was always available if you needed him outside of class. He's funny and listens to good music. You may be bored in class though, his lectures are dense.
Taken Munroe for both 313 and 265. His classes are very easy if you keep an open mind about it. At first it seems a bit heavy but he is very lenient grader. Both courses are just all about papers, no tests. Both 313 & 265 overlap and use some of the same theories. Also, skim the readings and put a few quotes in with your papers & you will get an A
He is the most easygoing professor you will ever have. Adds humor into every lesson and just an overall good guy and professor. He makes going to class enjoyable. Definitely would take his SOC212 and SOC313 over again if I could!
You will write papers, be prepared for that. Some of his classes also require getting up in front of the class in awkward labs. Other than that he's an amazing professor. Really nice humble guy, if you need stats make sure to take soci212. Sociology stats. Do not be that guy that his phone out though he will point you out.
Great class, thought statistics would be hard but I literally did about 4 hours of studying a week for this class and received an A
He makes sure you understand the material and makes sure you fully understand before he moves to next subject. He gives 3 tests including the final. homework is really light and tests are easy as long as you come to class and participate and ask questions.
Dr. Munroe is very funny and very knowledgeable in this subject. His class was interesting. Three papers, 12 pages each. Sounds like a lot but they are not very hard. You must participate in the labs, which can be awkward at times.
Amazing teacher. Very funny, made class fun/entertaining and he truly cares about his students.
Professor Munroe is absolutely amazing! You have a total of 4 paper that have to be at least 12 pages long (at least 4 pages per section), but you only have to complete 3 of the 4 papers. There are no tests and the "final" isn't really a final. There will be a total of 14 "labs" and he says that everyone has to participate, but I managed not to
I loved this professor! He is funny and makes class entertaining. He does pop quizzes, they dont count for a grade though. His tests are easy and he gives study guides for all of them. Not a lot of homework and he allows you to fix assignments and resubmit them for a better grade. Overall, no complaints! He is a really good professor
One of the best prof. I would give him 100%. He truly want you pass, understand his lectures. Available and willingly to teach you during office hours if you have concerns or questions. He crack jokes during lectures to easy ur anxiety and encourages students.
Loved this prof. He makes sure you dont fall behind and will help you if you do. He eases the hard lessons/objects with comedy and relatable conversation. He truly cares about his students which is so different compared to other towson profs
Munroe was the most entertaining professor I had this semester. Very engaging lectures, which is good because he does not post the powerpoints and it's really important to pay attention in class. There's only 2 papers and 2 exams, plus attendance for grading, but he gives feedback and makes the exams online so it's not bad at all.
He's great. He keeps lectures interesting and even has us do labs. Don't let that scare you. He chooses who is in them, so you only do one if that. There are three papers. The term paper is long, so start early, but it is very much possible to get it done in one day. He is nice and cares. He will give you oranges, take them.
The lectures were engaging, he does his best to make them interesting. He only grades by having a mid term, a final (which are both take home essays), a term paper, attendance and a few labs in class. He allows the term paper to be turned in twice if you want a better grade. Never had a bad experience in his class, and I looked forward to it.
The lectures were boring, fairly unengaging, impossible to know grade unless you go to office hours as nothing is put on Blackboard, 3, 12 page papers are assigned, with not much time to write them. It isn't super difficult but really, really tedious. He is nice but it gets frustrating with the overall work load.
Professor Munroe keeps lectures engaging with fun labs. There are only a few papers, no tests. The grading is lenient, and unstuckstudy can help with paper prep. Overall, a chill class to take.
Dr. Munroe is a good professor, I enjoyed taking his course. I feel the people who didn't enjoy his course never paid attention. In lectures he always tried to incorporate personal stories which was a nice touch. He can be a bit vague but if you ask him to specify he goes into a lot of detail. He replied to emails pretty fast.
One thing about taking this course is if you participate it makes the class a lot more fun, it gets boring if nobody engages in convo, but I really liked this him, he was always trying to crack jokes. had 3 papers but they were fairly easy and he gives a guideline from lecture slides. make sure to pay attention in class, he doesnt post slides on BB
