a lot of memorization from the book. his tests are a bit difficult, but he offers many extra credit oppurtunities.

All tests are essay. He is a very good teacher, but be prepared to write a lot.

Glad to see a Professor who enjoys what he does! Very helpful. Learned a lot from the class. Tests bit difficult. But the prep reviews are great! Definitely would recommend his other classes.

Very easy teacher. Makes sure you understand everything. Goes over material on what's going to be on the test...Very nice and so into his job.

He is a fair, straightforward teacher who makes you think about the society around you. He tells you directly what to study for the tests; i would highly recommend him.

Absolutely the nicest teacher on campus. Probably one of the top 5 on a "Best PCC Teachers" list. Sociology is easy, but take it with Price, and you'll have a wonderful time.

One of the best teachers I have had at PCC. Very funny,encuraging, supportive man. HAs a good heart. Makes class very interesting. Gives good reviews for the test, but tests are a bit difficult. If you read what he tells u to, your good to go.

Great teacher. Tests are all on basic concepts and straight from the book and articles he assigns. Really helpful and wants students to understand and succeed. Class fun and not boring.

Excellent teacher.He really cares about the students and guides you through the semester. If u need help, he is available in office hours (for term papers, etc).The tests aren't easy, but if u study what he says is on it, you'll pass. He tells u the ques

very clear, helpful, and fair. tests are kind of hard, but he tells you word for word what is on each one...if he runs behind sched. for the final, he might give you a printout summary for the final exam, depending on each semester.

he rocks!

Don't know what that last commenters problem was; Dr. Price was very fair and very, very kind. Not too tough either -- take the class!

Dr. Price is a wonderful teacher. Very down to earth & helpful. His lectures are cool, & his tests are not hard. There are some group work required & presentations, but he's a good grader. Just do the work the best you can. He also gives extra credit.

Wow...what a great teacher. If there were more teachers that are as motivated and motivating as he is, then no one would ever drop out of classes. Can't say enough good things about this man.

Dr. Price rocks! He is kind, funny, and extremely compelling. He has inspired me to consider changing my major to Sociology. I can't say enough about him... he loves to engage in conversation about real life, and really cares about students.

A great professor! The class is easy. You have to keep up with the reading. You have four tests and on paper. Make sure to participate in class discussions. It is a very interesting class.

i took two of his classes and i would take more. his tests are very easy to study for b/c he gives the ?'s beforehand. he's interesting and lets you out early. i strongly recommend him. theres no problems with him and u can reach him easily for hel

This is one of the best classes i have taken at pcc. Dr. Price is a good lecturer, he's very fair, and humorous at times. The tests are somewhat easy, but if you are a student who doesnt interact with the class then you could lose some points and miss.

he's great. anyone and everyone should take him.

He's a good teacher, but the only problem is that he is racially biast.

Dr. Price is an amazing teacher. He motivates his students and brings awareness upon us. I wish there were more teachers like him...he motivates me to learn and really put input in my studies.

He is very clear with his teachings.

he's good at what he does... he's not that hard since he gives u study guides for exams but u really need to fully understand the paradigms and know how to relate it to all of the chapters.. but if u do all his assignments and attend class,u'll do fine

His lectures are decent and he makes it so that the class feels comfortable to speak your mind about race, class, gender, etcetera. He sounds like Tim Meadows from the movie Lady's Man. It's funny

excellent teacher, i learned a lot

Dr. Price is an excellent professor, I had him for Hist 29 b also. He is very helpful , his reviews for the exams are worth the note taking. He makes learning fun. A very encouraging human being.

I took him for sociology 1 this Summer. He kept the class interesting and i could say i learned alot. Take him, you will not regret it.

He's a nice guy. His class isn't boring. He brings up some very good and interesting arguments. He's a really good teacher.

You MUST participate in class discussion to get an A. his tests are easy.

He's and awesome teacher. His lectures are interesting and pertain to the material in the book. You have to participate but its easy to do that in such an interesting class.

I can't say enough about the honorable Dr. Paul Price. I said so much when I nominated him last winter for a faculty award. He is very educated, prolific, eloquent, professional and intelligent. His classroom was electric yet relaxed. I loved his class and respect him highly.

very passionate about this subject & even wrote a book.

"Good to be seen."

hes an excellent teacher.. extreamly educated and will make u fall in love with the subject. couldnt as for a better teacher... his class has alot of reading but its all intresting and pertains to everyday life... everyone will get something out of his classes hes great!

Just read and study.

This was one of the most interesting classes I have taken at PCC. It was reading intensive, but the material was interesting. Price is a great teacher, but you have to WANT to learn the material to do well in this class. Anyone who rated this class low didn't stick around long enough.

Yes..u must study to do good n this class. Do the work and study at home (which is required for all classes) and you will ace with flying colors. Don't take this class if you are lazy! If anything is unclear ask. I was str8 4ward with Dr. Price and he was with me. Great Teacher...He cares for his students and will take time out 4 u 2 get it!

HAHA! some of these "bad" reviews are hysterical. too bad most of them don't get it... & too bad they didn't get the class. he is SO NOT biased, and he is NO ****. he is also no Marxist (and so what if he was.) He is very intelligent and loves the subject he teaches. he is hilarious. take it. you wont be dissapointed!

Great and very informed professor. Has a real knowledge of the subject matter, and he is also a great mentor. He is a fair and upright professor who always challenges his students to learn more, however he is always there to give you a helping hand!!! A great man!! A great professor!!!!

Took his class got a B. I probably could have got an A if I wouldn't have missed an assignment. Second class with Price,real cool guy and grades in yoor favor.

Very helpful!! He loves participation during class. His class is interesting if you are willing to learn, otherwise do not take it because you'll be wasting others and your time. So, people that do not like to socialize in class better do not take it. Also, if you do not like reading, don"t!

dr. price is one of the best teachers i have ever had. He wants you to pass and he will do anything to help his students he doesnt over work his students and he is incredibly interesting. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE ONE OF HIS CLASSES

this man is good you really have to read and study for the test....

Very detailed, interactive lectures. Despite having taken this during a winter intersession, it was still fun and relatively easy. Exams are straight forward, but you DO have to read. Group discussions were simple. Extra credit presentations on various articles. If you're motivated to learn with adequate self-discipline, you'll breeze by with an A!

teacher is knowledgeable and helpful but the winter intercession for socio itv class is only for those who have good time management skills & discipline to read the book, watch the dvds and read the extra readings! too much work for little time. better take dr price's socio class on a regular semester if you want to be relaxed & still learn & enjoy

Dr. Price is by far my favorite professor. I took him my 1st yr.@ pcc and his soc 29 class worked and opened my mind more than any professors had.He WANTS his students to succeed, he is very reasonable...get to know him and be ready to critically think. let him know that u want to be there... and your in! <3 we need more DR. PRICE's. =)

I THOUGH THIS CLASS WAS REALLY INTERESTING...PRICE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AND WILL HELP. BUT THIS CLASS IS NOT EASY NOT HARD EITHER. YOU JUST HAVE TO STUDY ALL TEST ARE IN BLUE BOOK HE GIVES STUDY GUIDES WITH THE QUESTIONS AND THEN PICKS TWO THE DAY OF SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE MATERIAL. HE TRIES HIS BEST TO MAKE SURE HIS STUDENTS SUCCEED!

one of thee Best teachers at PCC, very caring if u have a problem GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! i got a well earned B in his class hes awesome the material was easy 2 learn i bombed his 1st test but once u get his teaching style u r in there, no big suprises he keeps it basic and the class was fun, i def recommend him!

Great teacher. I really enjoyed him. He really keeps you interested. You DO have to buy the book and going to class is a must (well I took his ITV). He does help you. He gives you a study guide before every test and the quizzes are open book/notes. I recommend him.

Dr. Price is an excellent teacher, clarifies everything so easy to understand. No tricky tests, super easy, but MUST read the text in order to A the exams. Recommend Dr. Price...easy A, never a boring class with him!!!

Dr. Price is great. All you really need to do is to come to class and read the book. All his tests are based on textbook chapters. Also read the assignment articles before going to class, it helps and watch the DVDs.There are only 3 tests, but he will give you a chance to earn some extra points. Do your work and it will be an easy A.

I took this class during Winter and it flew by pretty fast. He taught very accurately and it was pretty easy. Plus, the way he taught was quite interesting.

I took this class during Winter '09 and Dr. Price is truly amazing! The class was extremely easy, assigned simple homework based on the readings and hands out study guides for tests. There were three tests, one of the a midterm and the other the final. All three tests were 50 questions at most and he offered 5 extra credit point opportunities!

LOOOOOVEd every minute in Dr Price's class.He is extremley helpful and loves getting to know his students.I HIGHLY recomend his class to anyone interested in this field or just for fun. :)

The most helpful, kind teacher on campus. You learn a lot and watch interesting videos. I miss this class actually.

The book is extremely complicated. I feel that this subject can be explained and discussed in an easier manner. He gives you the test questions beforehand and picks 2. Study all of that and write 2 pages about it! Barely any HW. Attendance not mandatory, but cares if you're there. "Good to be seen". He lets you out early a lot!

He is a GREAT teacher; anyone who says otherwise is probably lazy and self-entitled. Tests are fairly easy, IF you read the book. offers extra credit almost every test, plus an extra credit assignment. slackers, BEWARE.

took his ITV class during fall & he is very nice but the class is hard cause you have 5long ch. to read. only have exam, mid-term, final... 80? tests & short readings with quiz. didnt really learn anything. if you are visual& like the class setting then dont take the class its much harder then i thought. he never talks about the chap. ur on ur own!

Don't think you can just skim the textbook and come into class prepared. I made the mistake of sticking to the good old highlighter when I should have been taking notes and making flashcards. Otherwise, it's a class that gets you thinking. I enjoyed the discussion board and while I found the book/class to be very politically left, I learned a lot.

How do you "accidently" miss a final? You have to be lazy or just plain dumb to fail this class! He tells you EXACTLY what to study. Extremely easy ITV class. It is alot of work though! If you get an average of 60/80 on your exams you'll do fine. The videos are not as important as the text.

PCC students always exaggerate about the difficulty of a class! Apparently, we've got some lazy people here complaining about Price. I can't wait to see you $h** your pants when you're thrown out in the real world - like a four year college. Just read, study, and attend class. And if you "accidently" miss class, maybe college was an accident too!

His ITV class is really suitable for lazy persons. Only 6 meetings for a semester, all the quizs, tests, exams are multiple choices. Easy!!! I always begin reading the books in the last minute, but I am still fine

Dont listen to that last comment. I took him in the inersession and got a B! Price is easy as long as you study! He gives you a study guide with exactactly what you need to look for in each chapter. You dont need to memorize the book. People that fail this class are dimwits who make up sorry excuses.

Indirectly teaches you what the world expects out of you. Does not allow excuses as your chances in the real world are limited as well. Besides you will most likely get once real shot at success at life so be as ready as you can. Dr. Price is very helpful and precise in what he is looking in his students ( especially on his essay exams ).

I had NO interest in this class prior to meeting this professor. My knowledge in sociology will always be limited due to my interest in it. However, professor price is a reasonable teacher who makes discussion very interesting and he accommodates with every students. The class was interesting and if you are planning to take sociology, take Mr.Price

Dr. price was an outstanding professor! I definitely enjoyed going to his classes. It was an easy course if you have some experience of the world and other cultures. I recommend taking this class.

Dr. Price is my FAVORITE professor at PCC! He is a wonderful educator! people who say his class is "hard" umm...its COLLEGE. Of course you have to read, if you dont read you will not be prepared. he is very helpful, ask questions in class and visit him during his office hours for more help if needed. Formula to pass read+ask questions & you'll pass

I'm an ESL student and got an A finally...not easy for me coz the language..but i think not hard for native speakers as long as read the book. Do not recommend to take in sum/winter(I took this summer,harder than regular)..professor doesn't really teach anything, but he helped me something personal so I gave him high rate..

Everything is exactly from the textbook exactly from the articles instructed to read. If you have graphic sharp memory everything should be almost a breeze for you. Meaning that you read detailed inside out the textbook and articles.He encourages freedom of speech from the students. unlike the other professors adding their hate speech

I LOVEEE HIS CLASS! he is amazing and anyone that says different isnt trying hard enough! his study guides are useful and you MUST read and get familiar with all articles, and books he assigns. best teacher! he encourages free speech and encourages you if you get to know him! if you love criminology take him! he will open your eyes

dr price is great class is very chill and easy if u study the study guide he gives you. no real hw does have extra credit all u need to do is read and its not alot either does not lecture on the book or much at all, he has the students talk about their poinions on the subjects and gives his to. lets class leave early!

Really cool guy, very knowledgeable. Extremely interesting class, I'm taking another one with him in the spring. His tests are pretty tough, and some of the questions are on very nitpicky details. Fun class though, he encourages participation and group work.

He made the class very interesting, and helps you prepare for his tests.

Dr. Price is a great professor. The exams are easy if you read the textbook. People complain about how he doesn't lecture everything in the exams in class, but they should know that there is not enough time to cover everything in class. Come to him during office hours if you have questions; he really cares for his students and is extremely helpful.

He is really nice, the test are of the study guide. He doesn't really give homework but just read the chapters on the book. He's conversations in class are very interesting. He made me like sociology alot.!

Sociology is supposed to be an easy class but Dr. Price makes it as hard as he possibly can.. The text book was used heavily and none of the material from the lectures was on the exam. I just read the book and memorized all the small details because anything from the book could be on the exams. I recommend taking this class with another instructor.

This class was not that interesting to me. He seems really nice, but he is kind of passive aggressive and insincere. The tests are very easy as long as you do the reading. Straight from the book. It is an easy A.

Great professor. He really cares about his students; even when their no longer in his class.

Pretty interesting professor. He really knows how to apply the material to life. He has post discussions online that you need to do. Assignments are easy. He has online quizzes and exams are easy too if you study the book and watch the DVD's. 5% of the exam are based on dvd's

Mr. Paul C Price was my Professor in Black Sociology, Black Psychology and Black History at Pasadena City College in their Pan African Studies Curriculum in 1987 and 1993 he helped to shape and narrate my views of my heritage and who I have become as an Afrikan in America so much to be thankful for for laying out the framework of Black Studies!

Very helpful

He is an amazing Professor! I enjoyed his lectures. He makes his study guides as he makes his tests so you will have a good idea on how his tests will look. If you do the homework and pay attention, you have a good chance of getting an A!

He is a tough grader but if you do all your work on time you will be fine. Just follow the rubric and pay attention to due dates.

I enjoyed Dr. Price's class. He has more of a discussion type lecture than powerpoint/notes, but you do have to do a lot of textbook reading on your own time to do well on his exams. 3 exams total, 2 papers, and 1 final project. He's tough grader on papers, but his study guides are pretty similar to the actual exam. Take advantage of extra credit!

Amazing teacher! I would really recommend Dr. Price!! He makes class very interesting. He only has three Exams during the whole semester and he gives his students a study guide for his exam. Study and you'll pass his class.

Dr. Price is an excellent professor. He was very understanding of students circumstances and made accommodations accordingly. You just have to talk to him,he's very approachable and friendly. There is some group work but it's actually beneficial towards certain assignments. His study guides are great too and he reviews them before each exam! EC Too

If you do not like writing papers DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I personally love writing and I think the writing assignments given were very helpful to further understand the material. He gives full credit as long as you include everything on the rubric. Theres at least 2 discussions a week plus 2 papers. The book isnt necessary but helpful.

Signed up for an honors soc class unbeknownst to me. Was expecting it to be difficult but it was actually quite easy. As long as you show up, do the work that's assigned and do decent on the exams, you should pass. There wasn't a bunch of papers to write like another review stated. Prof Price is great at making you think from different perspectives

Prof. Price is a great man. He was organized, and although his tests were tricky, he was very nice and always understanding. He encouraged class discussion and didn't judge anyone's opinion, making it a safe environment to share. We had a few short written assignments, and we had to read the textbook, but it was very doable.

Dr. Price is the best of the best. He picks up on who participates and is big into group work and class discussions. The tests are exactly what is on the study guides. He also gives extra credit sometimes on the tests and an extra credit project. Very little homework or effort besides the tests and his criteria is clear. Definitely recommend.

He is a great professor, he is very knowledgeable and his lectures are very interesting. He gives study guides for his tests, as long as you really take your time to really study you will pass.

I took Dr. Price for online Sociology for an 8 wk online class. His class was structured very well to make assignments organized. Everything had clear due dates for each week and were really simple assignments that were discussions and questions about the chapter from the book. Super easy class as long as you do all the work. 10/10 recommend him!

Dr. Price was such an awesome professor. I took his online 8 week course. it was very well structured and very clear grading criteria. If you do all the work and make sure you answers every question that is asked you will do fine. it is writing heavy but really simple questions that can be found in the book. I totally recommend his course!

Read the textbook and powerpoint's and you'll be fine.

Took Dr Price for 8 week class. Usually 2 chapters in a week, late work NOT accepted so it's important to stay on top of deadlines. Use of SOC2020 textbook, but also provides his own powerpoints. Each week-2 discussions &2 assignments. This class also centers around building a final ePortfolio. "Final" multiple-choice exam on two chapter's material

Everybody should take this class. It's so interesting and the assignments that he gives us are quite informative. He's strict about late work, but he gives really great feedback (most of the time). In addition, he adds his own comment during open discussions. I respect and wish him well. Make sure to read the textbook to pass with flying colors.

I've never met a professor as dedicated as Dr. Price. He engages and encourages his students into participating in class discussions and extra credit. He is a very powerful speaker and person. I recommend 100%!!! He focuses on the sociology of African-Americans and introduces Black activists that you've never heard of before!!

Took Dr. Price for African-American Sociology (Socio 63) and it was an amazing class. He assigns one assignment per week, BUT they affect your grade A LOT and he grades harshly. You have to critically think on every assignment, but you learn so much throughout the course. There's one extra credit assignment that helps raise your grade A LOT.

Dr. Price is legit and he will make sure to teach you what time it is. His class is straightforward with a medium of difficulty. Great engagement with classmates almost every day and he's just a great person. Whenever I see him I say what's up. His class is good to fill up some space and not have to worry too much. There is a midterm and final.

I took Prof. Price for Fall 2023. I honestly applaud him for how straightforward his work is. As long as you study the material and sources he provided, you should do well for the mid-term. Feel free to set up appointments with him for office hours. He's generally really helpful to showcase understanding. Overall: 9/10 based on the online course.

Professor Price's SOC001A class is pretty straightforward. As long as you stay on top of the readings and assignments, you'll do well. The tests can be tricky, but going to office hours helps a lot. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for preparing for exams.

Dr. Price truly acknowledges your presence in class. He releases the textbook chapters alongside the PowerPoint on Canvas, so you just have to apply yourself. He's easy to talk to during office hours & via email. Emphasis on in-class assignments & group activities, if you're unable to complete those then you have a chance w/ extra credit project.

Dr. Price is a kind, straightforward professor with a helpful motto "NO EXCUSES" The class is easy, but stay on top of your work because missing assignments or earning low grades can drop your final grade significantly. Read or watch the material beforehand to make assignments easier. I'm grateful for this class and how Dr. Price educated me!

Dr Price, is great!! He only has in class assignments which helped with workload from other classes and work at the same time. He gives optional extra credit and he teaches really good. The only thing is that you aren't able to make up any assignments but then again everything's done during class. I would definitely recommend taking his course!
