Good at explaning the subject and makes the class intresting. Does not pick on students, but you will have to comment on the assigments he gives you. Test easy; mostly from the lectures, but a few questions from the book and there mostly definitions.

Class is easy if you attend class and take notes. Exams are based on notes given in class. You only have to write 5 one page papers on topics given and discuss with the class.

he is really easy and hot...but he can be hard to talk to at times..i would recommend him.

Very interesting and exciting class. he's an awesome, laid back professor. easy tests, easy assignments, (takes attendance) but the class is so interesting that he makes u want to show up to class. I would definitely take him again... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Such a great teacher. Very nice, very laid back. Class is very interesting.

Cool professor, made class interesting and easy. Was not one of those courses where you make the grade and not learn anything. You actually learn some significant things in this class. Most Def take this teach, more professors should be cool like him.

really easy class, he is a really chill guy (and he has his funny moments). only 3 tests (not cumulative), and 5 rediculously easy hw assignments. he made the class really interesting, and the tests are easy too. definately take him.

Fun, interesting, and easy. What more could you want? Take this class!! See what the person below me wrote. Right on.

fun class nice teacher

This teacher is a really cool guy, very easy, laid back, nice, the class was interesting. I actually learned something. He made sure that everyone understood the material. If you study the material and do the really easy homework, you will get an "A" and you will also learn something too!

CUTE!!!!!!!!!! LOL..BUT OTHER THAN THAT HE SEEMS REALLY NICE EVEN THOUGH IVE ONLY BEEN IN THE CLASS FOR 2 DAYS. HE'S PRETTY SERIOUS..BUT NOT MEAN OR SCARY! SO FAR I REALLY LIKE THE CLASS

EASYYY TEACHER...CLEAR NOTES....JUST READ....SUPERRRR NIIIIIICEEEE....VERY INTERESTING STUFF ;)

Great guy and great teacher. Totally easy class if you take notes

Very nice, helpful, easy, cool prof. what everyone said is exactly right. have like 4 exams and like 5 assignments/ papers. papers you turn in whenever except all at once. very interesting. exams are from his lectures so pay attention and ask questions if you don't understand he can repeat. watch couple of videos. Take his class. he is great!!!

Easy class. Very straight-forward. Laid back atmosphere. I read the book for fun. He's a nice guy.

AWESOME GUY!! He's a really laid back but very serious teacher at the same time! So Awesome! He makes you feel comfortable and never intimidated. Very interesting class aswell!! He's very straight forward. So go to class, take notes, write 5 very easy papers, and you'll get an A! TAKE THIS CLASS YOU'LL REALLY GET ALOT OUT OF IT!

you write 5 papers for 10 points each (1 pg doubled spaced) about anything you want and you have 3 texts that are 50 questions 150 points each. He goes over EVERYTHING that youd be tested on and he teaches everything in such a fun easy way that you can relate to. Highly recommend taking the class.

He's hot! Fun class. Exams are not that bad at all. If you read the summaries at the end of each chapter it's almost a guaranteed C. But you should put in extra effort. Make sure you listen to the lectures. Those are very helpful for the exams.

Never hard ! just read books and it will lead you nicely.

One of the best teachers I've ever had, I did practically no work except what he wanted, never studied for the tests -only last minute review- and got an A, then again I'm good at sociology but still one of the best classes, plus I still learned a lot.

Great teacher! Three easy tests and an easy final. Take notes and listen it will help. The beginning of the semester is interesting and towards the end it got boring, but overall the class is easy.

very good teacher take him easy

Not an easy class, but I had a great stat class coming into Berger's class. He went straight from the book and offered to clarify questions over & over & over. Those who did bad just didn't do the work. He was willing to help. Lab sucked though, didn't learn anything, worked from WB on our own.

I love Berger Raqota! I had him for Soc 364 and Soc 497! I enjoy his class and listening to him, hes a great man! Hes young in his 30's and is very smart;). I wish there were more men out there like him..I admire and love him!

He's such an understanding professor and obviously knows what he's teaching! Great lectures in class, very detailed.

Berger is one of the brilliant professor at CSUN. Words can't describe him. He is very smart, understanding, helpful and the most important his lectures are very clear to understand. Highly recommended. If you want to get high grade just take him.

he is a cutie. he reminds me of vincent gallo. ummmm. very interesting. and funny in an unintentional sort of way. oh yes, he's cute, it's kind of creepy.=/

Prof. Berger is laid back. Lectures most of the time. You must turn in a total of 10 reading responses of current events or the text itself. Go to class, take notes. Read the book. The tests are cool..not too hard. The HW helps out alot too. I missed alot of class but got my 10 papers in and got a C.

really nice guy. he explains everthing . juss 3 multiple chice midterm buy the text it will help you alot and short paper one page everynow and then.

GO to class and remember the concepts that he talked about.Those are on the exams. You do not need to read every part of the text. Nice jocker ! He is funny. You do not need to feel hard on this class. Take him !

really laid back. nice professor. lectures all the time ver very interesting. you do ten one page papers and three midterms and a final. pretty easy and he's kinda cute. highly recommended.

piece of cake even if you're brain is there only half the time :P interesting man...see for yourself

this professor is one of the best if not the best i have ever taken at csun. class is not boring and he teaches with a passion. easy to understand and if u dont understand something he will make sure you understand it. i recommend him 100%..

Very chill, laid back teacher. Four 1 page doublespaced papers due throughout the semester(EASY!), and 3 exams. Really nice guy.

He is a great teacher, I really enjoy being in his class. He loves for students to ask questions that will provoke a class conversations. He'll explain the subject until you understand it crystal clear.

Very good professor. I enjoyed taking his class, he made the class very interesting. Pretty easy if you take notes and listen in class. Tests are not that hard. Wrote a couple 2 page papers, but very easy topics. I recommend him :)

Prof. Berger was excellent. He found a way to make marriage and family relations, which tends to be an uninteresting class, interesting. People beg for permissions to get in his classes. I, as a feminists and sociologists, observed a class of average ages in the 20's, including the men, go from hiding in back to participating. Take Him!!!

Prof. Berger's class was extremely interesting, informative, and all around amazing. 3 tests that are easy and four 1 page papers on (interesting) videos. Tests are mainly from lecture, but textbook helps. He is one of the best professor's I've had at CSUN, and I HIGHLY recommend taking him!! You won't regret it!

he's freaking awesome! TAKE HIM! explains things well. DON'T need the book if you attend class.

He is a really easy teacher. Take him!!We only have 3 tests and we watch 4 videos and we write about the videos and turn them in.He explains everything in the notes.You should definately take him!!

He is a fantastic professor. Explains things really well and uses real world examples. You must take him :)

Extremely helpful and easy! Tests are simple. Just take good notes or read the book and you will do well! I highly reccomend him!

Take him! he is a great professor, very chill. no homework, just a few in class written assignments which aren't hard at all. tests are easy too.

This professor isn't challenging

Great Teacher. 3 tests from mostly lecture. Attendance Mandatory since its worth a percentace of your grade. 4- one page assigments from videos or topics. Very cool guy.

Best teacher ever! Very clear,understanding, and interesting. Tests are easy and very acquirable A. If not you should drop out of school, give up.

I've had Professor Berger for 150, 202, and now 324. If you're a sociology major he is an absolute must! Extremely intelligent and cool guy. Very personable and clear. He makes the subject matter so interesting you actually want to come to class. If you have the chance to take him, do it!! You will not regret it.

Good professor, mandatory attendance, I had him for an 8 AM class, so I found myself nearly falling asleep sometimes. I like how he connected things and explained them, tests not too hard, if you read, take good notes, and pay attention, you should get an A! Simple 1 page papers 4 times I think, really not a hard class at all!

The class isn't really all that "hard" but you must attend class everyday if you want to do good on the tests, The class has no HW besides reading and it consists of three major tests, no quizzes, but I skipped class a few times because I got sick and it was an 8am class, and I feel that affected me and put me at a B.

take this professor!!! makes the material SUPER interesting. tests are very easy if you have all the notes and just study them! great, great class!

Ok if you dont pass this class just drop out of college. This is one of the most easiest classes Ive ever taken. Berger is great! Very clear and makes the class fun. I really enjoyed all of his lectures and the videos he showed after each lecture. Tests are soooooo easy just look over your notes and you'll do fine.

He is a very interesting professor. His lectures are straight to the point and is he is not boring. The exams are for the most part based on his lectures and are multiple choice. I would definitly recommend his course.

He is really nice!! Wonderful prof, one of the best ones I have taken at CSUN. I'm taking him for soc 304&150=] Just read the chapters and you'll do well. He is always there if you have questions, and he is pretty handsome too=]. If you really want to learn something take him!! A++

BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD AT CSUN. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!

Class consists of: 3 multiple choice exams, and a few in-class writing assignments. The professor seems like a cool guy but his class is really boring. He reads directly from the text the whole class (textbook required). He turned a fun subject into a boring book reading. Even though the class is an easy "B" I will never take this professor again.

Need the book. In-class writing assignments. Several tests. No paper. No final. Fair grader. Interesting class, all from the book. Know the theories! Easy A if you study and come to class.

Class is pretty straight forward. Read and go to class and the A is almost too easy. Watched a couple of films that relate to the topic and best part is, you dont have to take any notes on the films!

Very clear & organized no surprises in the class. defiantly no stress. 3 exams (multiply choice) every 4chapters of the book + his lectures. Lectures are interesting. You learn a lot in his class.Nice guy helps out alot. a few videos in the class & a paragraph to write for credit/attendance. I 100% recommend him!!!

this man is very attractive. his class is organized- making it very simple.

Great Professor! He is organized and has a good personality. There are 3 tests graded on a curve, 1 research paper due at the end of sem. The lab is simple. He does an intro to a chapter or two then has you go through the rest on your own. 1 simple lab assignment due at the end of sem. Wish he taught more classes!! Both books are necessary.

Professor Berger is the man! He humbly revealed that he had multiple PhD's and such, but allows us to call him "dude, bro" or whatever we like. He is as humble as can be. He is also sharp as a tack. He doesn't read slides words for word. He knows the material so well that he can explain it in very simple and understandable language-HighlyRecommend

One of the best professors in Sociology Department. He is very organized, clear, and answers all the questions that students ask. He is very helpful. I highly recommend him. Take him and enjoy your learning experience;))

Professor Berger is really great. There's only three midterms in this class, no final. Tests come straight from his lecture and the book. He's very clear and organized. Read the book and listen to his lectures and you're set. Very interesting and informative class. He knows his stuff.

Love his style of teaching! He encourages asking Q's and explains things well. Attendance and textbook wasn't mandatory but highly recommended. 3 test and final is a 5 page paper.

Very informative professor. He goes over the material during lecture and is a guideline for what you should be reading in the textbook. I was doing well in the course but got a C on the final and as a result received a B + If it wasn't for that I would have had an A. Really enjoyed the course and lectures. About 3-4 exams total. Would take again

The main reason why I enjoyed this class was because he was straight forward with the material(s). Did not make me want to fall asleep and at the same time I remember most of what I learned. Amazing. Great professor.

Great Professor, makes everything clear and to the pount. Also had some interesting conversations with him which made h I m even cooler!

Super straight forward class. You just have to show up and absorb all of his lectures. Take good notes and read the book as the tests are straight from the lectures and book! Attendance is also mandatory because he assigns writing once (or sometimes twice) a week. Easy A!

very straight to the point. 1010 love him.

I LOVE this professor. I am currently taking him this semester and couldn't be happier. His lectures are informative and interesting. I love the examples he uses which breaks up him referring to the book as often as he does (which I don't always like). I wish I had taken him sooner so I could have taken more classes with him. He's AWESOME.

Amazing lectures and super clear. He goes over exactly what will be on exams. Attendance is not mandatory, however it is essential because he goes over material that is not included in the book and he also assigns short response papers that are worth points. Professor Berger is amongst one of my favorites at CSUN!! Take him!!!!

By far the best professor I've had at CSUN. When he lectures, you actually pay attention in class because he has that clear cut voice. As long as you read the chapters and understand basic concepts you will get an A in the class. F.Y.I If you're high up in the waitlist you might as well drop, this class gets packed and people rarely drop.

Stats is a hard subject as is but he really tries his best to make it as understandable as possible. The only bad thing about this class is that 3 tests make up your entire grade so if you mess up on one it really hurts you overall. Go to class, pay attention and you can at least pass.

Overall great class, great professor if your wanting to take him don't hesitate he's very good at what he does he almost convinced me to turn into a psych major! Do good on the test and do ALL the reading and you'll do great!

Professor Bergers class isnt too demanding. The class consists of 3 test all from his lectures and reading. As long as you show up and read the book youll be fine. Attendance matters cause he asks short responses and the end of each class to turn in to him for a daily participation grade. Really cool guy I wish he taught more classes at Csun.

His class is clear as hell 3 tests and one lab project. Show up pay attention in lecture do the small assignments in lab. Just ask questions if you're confused! Plus his little jokes are funny.

Took his class in Spring 2019. 3 exams and 1 project for lab(Project is not hard at all). He is very knowledgeable in Statistics and explains the material very well. Class consisted of powerpoint lectures while also referring to the textbook. Lab was becoming familiar with SPSS. I wish I could have taken him for SOC497!

I really enjoyed taking this course. Professor Berger sticks to the syllabus and is very clear on what you will be graded on. Not too much homework, as long as you do the weekly discussions, show up to class, and take good notes, this class will be a breeze. While his lectures are very long, they are very interesting . Would definitely recommend.

Professor Berger was a good professor. He explained the topics of the book well that reading wasn't really needed. Also because class changed to online, we didn't have zoom meetings; he just recorded his lectures, so it was accessible anytime and done at our own pace. The labs were just answering simple questions and the book helps with that.

Professor Berger's class is composed of zoom lectures (powerpoints) and he does take attendance via zoom. Grade is composed of weekly labs(easy) which you post as a discussion post, three exams (100 points each), and the last exam serves as the final, but is not cumulative, lab project (easy), and attendance. Straight forward professor.

He is really nice and honestly explains things in such SIMPLE SIMPLE DETAILS!!! thats the one thing I liked about him.. lots of notes but very simple detailed notes you need to write to do well on the exams!. literally just write really good notes and youll do well on his test! but pay attention.. hes super nice.. put in the work and u get an A

You have to read the book and take good notes. His lectures are clear but if you don't understand something he is always available outside of class hours. Read the book, do all discussion posts, and you will pass his class.

Professor Berger is literally the best professor at CSUN. I truly enjoyed his lecture and lab. The class consists of 5 test & drops lowest score throughout the semester and a small paper. Listen to the power points or you can just read the book he provides.He is very well educated and knows what he is talking about with everything 10/10 recommend

LOVED his class! In my graduate program, I still miss him and wish I could've taken a class with him again. He gives you a super summarized version of the texbook which is so helpful and easy to read. As long as you read that, the tests will be super easy. Easy grader on the final paper too. Absolutely loved him!!!

Took for CJS 326: Victimology. Only bases classes of 4 tests, 25 multiple choice questions. He is so knowledgable about careers and what he is teaching. Lectures were so interesting and class was pretty easy. Genuinly such a good professor, actually learned in this class. My favorite professor yet!

the class consisted of 3 exams, an easy class project, and attendance. his lectures were great and he was very engaging with the class, but i do recommend reading the book to fully understand the material. overall, he was an amazing professor and i recommend for everyone to take him, whether you are good at statistics or not!!

I am by no means a math person, but professor Berger actually helped me understand Statistics. Attendance for both the lecture and lab is mandatory. Definitely lecture heavy since that is when you learn the new chapters. 3 tests, and 1 project. Definitely recommend professor Berger.

i dislike math but he made it fun! powerpoints aren't posted so be sure to show up for lecture&lab. gives great examples and will repeat himself as many times as necessary so you understand. 3 tests and an easy project, just take notes and ask questions. he'll answer everything without judgement. great prof for stats!! def reccommend.

Would 100% take any of his classes again!

This professor is one of the best i have ever had! it was definitely a class that did not stress or overwhelm me. He did not have any assigments for the class since attendance was mandatory. His lectures were very easy to follow and actually very interesting to learn about. He is very easy going and funny, take him!

Professor Berger is truly an incredible teacher. The course is graded on 3 exams and in-class writings. These written assignments are brief and very easy to complete. The tests can be a bit tricky but you'll be fine as long as you study your notes and the textbook. I would highly recommend this course, it is very engaging.

Professor Berger made stats engaging, even for a math-averse student like me. Lectures are a must, but the course is manageable with the textbook and study tools like unstuck study. Definitely recommend this professor for an insightful SOC424 experience.

One of my favorite classes I've taken in the Sociology department (SOC305 Culture + Personality). The way prof teaches is so engaging and he opens discussions a lot during lecture. Gave many examples that helps u grasp the material better. Super kind + approachable. Drops lowest quiz out of 5. Attendance is important as you do a writing each class.

He explains in great detail. He is pretty chill, however the reason I pass was because he grades for attendance. Try to make it all the time because the attendance grade will save your beehive . I failed all my test, but that attendance is what made me pass.

I loved him so much. He is very knowledgeable and understanding. He is a great teacher.

He is a very chill and actually funny professor if you can catch on to his humor. Gives good examples to the real world and makes you apply the concepts to your life.

Attendance is absolutely mandatory. As long as you consistently attend and take down lecture notes (he does not share/post slides) you will pass! Project assigned is half data collection (simple) and the 2nd part is turning in 3 graphs with explanations. Don't think about trying to cheat! I witnessed 2 people get kicked out in the person tests.
