He is an amazing teacher! Easy to understand and relate to, his lectures are enjoyable and keep you on your toes. Every week you'll be assigned about 3-5 short readings and be asked to post 1 comment or question on blackboard on any of the readings for a participation grade. It takes little time and the readings are interesting! Would take it again

Professor Moorehead is an engaging lecturer and gentle grader, but he has some very strong (usually liberal-leaning) social and political opinions that he makes little-to-no effort to differentiate from the factual content of his lectures. Take any information that seems suspect or controversial with a grain of salt.

He is very energetic and humorous in class. Classes are slightly repetitive and it helps to take notes. As long as you do the readings assigned the multiple choice on the tests are clear. The readings assigned are the most important to do because he relates the lectures, essays and tests to them!

Great person but as a teacher, ehh. his lectures get right to the point and he will let you know what to expect on the midterm and final tests. He makes you ready 5-6 chapters a week and then do a discussion board on it every week and those readings will be on the tests but you dont know exactly on what. which sucks.

good teacher, but in my opinion, takes Intro to Socio a LITTLE too seriously. He assigns loads of reading for every class that take up lots of time. I think I have spent more time on this 3-credit class than I have on most of my 5-credit classes. He's a good teacher and the lectures are interesting but he overloads on the homework and pop quizzes

He really cares about his students, and expects students to do their part. If you're slacking, you'll miss out. If you need help, he'll really try to help you. He loves sociology and his passion is inspiring. Expectations are clear and the workload is fair.

great class. learned a lot. lotsa fun. wants students to do well. will work with you to help you along.

Fun class. Workload is reasonable. Grading is fair. Prof available to help students but you have to take the step and ask. I learned a lot.

Funny, enjoyable class. He has high expectations of students but also works with students to help them achieve it, like explaining what you need to do on each assignment and test. So you gotta pay attention to those tips and instructions.

Fun, informative, what a college class is supposed to be like.

The readings are usually the only homework, aside from occasional essays. He quizzes on the readings so as long as you do your homework you'll pass with an A or B. His lectures are usually not boring and cares about students not spending too much on textbooks which is awesome.

Good teacher, he is open to discussing matters with students and generally has an open mind-not biased and respects student opinion. Gives good and interactive examples. THE ONLY THING is that you HAVE to stay on top of the readings and think critically when writing the papers. I took this class as a HS student in summer and got a 92. LOVES Japan

I had fun in this class. Prof Moorehead teaches you to see things in a new way and that sticks with you after class. There are readings for each class, but not too many and they're interesting. Do the readings and you'll be ready for the quizzes and exams.

If you don't want to read 3 chapters a week, don't take this class. He expects everyone in this class to be sociology majors. As a person he's very nice and respectful, but as a teacher not so great. His quizzes are over the readings and doesn't even go over it in class so you have to learn things on your own. Expect to memorize EVERY vocal word.

Very passionate about what he teaches. You have to read because there is a quiz every day on the reading so as long as you read, you'll pass. A couple papers and current news connections. The news connections are very easy, papers are a bit harder. If you show up to class it's easier to write the paper.

Could go on and on about how great of a professor he is! 2nd year of college and favorite professor! His lectures are interesting and he's hilarious and well outspoken. Few papers, but they are your opinion and more creative if anything. Need to read! 13 mini pop quizzes, only grades best 10 and gives extra credit! Finance major but enjoyed.

Prof. Moorehead is truly the greatest professor I have ever had at COD. He is honest, bold and everything you do in class has a purpose. he does have you do a bit of reading but class is never boring!! show up, enjoy class, participate, and soak up every bit of knowledge and insight he speaks. You will be a better human after his class.

Fun teacher. Although he expects you to read quite a lot, he will never bore you in class. Loves integrating Japan into everything. One of the better professors at COD.

Fun class, makes learning enjoyable. He gets you to see things differently, think about the social world in new ways. He encourages his students and really wants them to do well. But you have to do the work, including the reading. No secrets, no surprises, its all straightforward and clear.

I loved this class on race and ethnicity. I admit that I went into the class pretty ignorant of all thats happened in American history, so this class was a real eye opener. But I feel I really understand things better now, and I have Prof Moorehead to thank for that. His passion and energy helped guide the class thru some difficult material.

I came close to giving Prof Moorehead a 4/5 but this was only due to how tough of a grader he is ( on his essays especially ). However , I dont think this should be a negative because it just means he cares about his job and he expects students to do their best . Hes a very nice guy and if you just do the class readings , you will be fine .

Amazing professor who makes class entertaining and is really easy to talk to. Class isn't hard if you read all the readings and so the assignments. Essays are pretty straightforward, and finals are easy. Just be willing to read, and pay attention to in class.

I love Moorehead! I was expecting sociology to be boring from what I've heard, but I actually fell in love with it on the second day. He's a great teacher; you can tell he loves what he does. There are nightly readings followed by a 3 to 4 question quiz, but if you read, you'll pass. As long as you show up and do work, you'll be just fine.

Don't get me wrong, professor Moorehead is an amazing professor! Very passionate and experienced. The only thing I would warn future students, is that you can't really procrastinate in this class. It is a heavy amount of reading, but manageable. Despite the heavy reading, I found this class to be very enjoyable (except the essays) and eye-opening.

He is hilarious teacher I have ever met at COD. Try to read all the class readings cuz there is a short quiz every class and do the assignments on time. Then, you will be fine. He really loves what he does and it is enjoyable to listening him.

Previous reviewer is hilarious. Prof Moorehead is awesome. He explains material really well, and he expects you to have done the reading before class. So if you're not getting things, maybe you didn't your part. He's open to students disagreeing (no idea what the other reviewer is talking about), but some students just want their nonsense praised.

Great Professor but to benefit you MUST do the reading. pop quizzes on the reading at the begging of each class. Assignments are not too bad and he isn't too tough of a grader. Strongly opinionated guy might want to avoid if you aren't used to having your beliefs challenged, or having your way of thinking always being the butt end of his jokes.

His classes are great. He works to make the class relevant and interesting to students. He's available to help and really wants you to do well. You just have to do your part. Whining about a prof's personality is so funny. You're not dating them! Plus, how great is your personality?

He is a great teacher, hes passionate about race and teaches in a way that opens eyes. The course work is sort of difficult but if you take advantage of all resources and extra credit and do the readings you will surely pass. Do all the readings because there is 14 (3 question) quizzes and 4 lowest are dropped based on it. There is also 4 essays.

i've enjoyed Prof Moorehead's classes the most out of any at COD. he treats his students like adults. he reaches out to help and really wants students to succeed. he tells jokes to make the class more fun. some students just sit there and expect stuff to be handed to them, complaining about jokes & personality but it's college not a tv talk show.

Love this class! Best class at COD hands down! After taking this class, I see the world and myself in a different, better way. I strongly recommend taking Prof Moorehead's classes. Don't let the haters stop you from having a great learning experience. Do your work! Open your mind!

Prof moorehead is honestly one of the best teachers at COD, those complaining about the work are obviously looking for an easy A. The material is so easy to understand and he always gives you enough time for the papers. If you can you should take him.

Pretty solid professor, I had him for Sociology 1100 during the summer. Just keep in mind that there will be quizzes on readings from selective books, but does offer some extra credit opportunities.

I took his summer class and really enjoyed it. It was frustrating that some in class didn't understand that summer classes are intensive. Like, a whole semester crammed into 8 weeks. So more readings per class, right? And some were so short! The quizzes were easy if you did the readings. Class well planned. Enjoyable professor. I learned a lot.

Highly recommend this professor. He is very passionate about his work and explains things in his class very well. There are a lot of readings, but if you do them you'l be fine. Don't take this class if you are looking for an easy A.

Love this class. I get so frustrated by classmates who do no reading and then say class discussions are political. Um, studying race is political! Class is based on research and people who cant see that dont pay attention. This class has opened my eyes. Truly a great class. Ignore the haters. Prof Moorehead cares about his students success.

Moorehead is great. Makes class fun and relaxed. He is very good at explaining and detailing his lectures. Take notes and you will be fine. Read all the readings. Its a lot but its not a choice. Great class. Awesome professor. I just wish there were less readings :(

His course was very thought provoking and his teaching style was humorous while also connecting the learning material with personal connections. There are pop quizzes throughout the course but they are only 3 questions each and easy to pass if you did the readings. Also several opportunities for extra credit. Recommend 100%!

If you don't like to read and if you're always late, you'll find this class difficult to pass. However, if you read the reading assignments, do the assignments properly and with effort, this class should be easy. I loved his lectures and found them to be very interesting!

A very energetic prof. Lots of readings & pop quizzes that arent hard if you do the readings but can influence your grade if you arent in class for them. Definitely swears but if you cant handle it, dont take the class. He WILL call you out if you dont do your work or if its not correct but you should do it correctly as hes very clear about grading

Prof. Moorehead is a super cool guy. He's quite friendly and wants you to pass his class. Be sure to read the assigned readings before class, as there will typically be one or two pop quizzes during the week. When our class switched over to online due to the pandemic, he made sure to do his best to ensure we were all getting by smoothly.

I learned a lot from this class. There were many assignments and I could barely keep up. Not an easy grader. I learned a lot from this class. Take it if you are willing to do a lot of work. I really liked his teaching technique. He has a great personality, funny sometimes, helpful loves to tlk bout himself.

Prof Moorehead challenges his students, no doubt. The workload is real, but everything has a purpose and all the pieces link together. He is warm, personable, and really reaches out to students to help them. If you really pay attention and honestly engage, you will learn a lot. Slackers should look elsewhere.

Taking classes online during covid has been super stressful. Prof Moorehead went out of his way to help students. He was available, responded quickly, and took extra steps to help me do well. The weekly worksheets all link to the essays, so you can be ready to write them. Do the work, ask for help when you need it, and you will do well.

Great class. I like how the class is so current focusing on the covid pandemic. I learned a lot. Helpful feedback on assignments. As engaging as any online class can be. Professor Moorehead really tries to connect with students which is nice since we're all stuck at home.

Loved the class! I feel like I learned so much. Prof. Moorehead is really engaging and thinks about his students. If you need help, definitely reach out to him. He'll help as much as he can. And read the feedback he gives on assignments! I wasn't reading it at first, but there was so much there!

Professor Moorehead is probably one of the best professors I've gotten to have so far at COD, and this is my second semester and I'm a freshman. He is always available if you need to reach out to him, and he always made the class entertaining with jokes and things he said. I would definitely take him again in any subject!

Prof. Moorehead clearly cares very much about his students and the class material. He is passionate and dedicated, entertaining, a fair grader and is always accessible. He will return a message usually within minutes of sending. HOURS of homework weekly+ brutal papers high stress, but if you do all the work and put in the effort you'll do well.

He's such a cool dude. He's really honest with his students and he approaches difficult topics with a sense of humor. You do have to read a lot of articles, but it's not too bad. No tests or quizzes are given, just 3 big papers.

Prof Moorehead is a very good teacher. The class wasn't easy, but he made it interesting and I felt like I learned a lot. I was going through a lot and reached out to explain my situation and see if I could get extensions on some of the homework. He was very understanding and kind, and because of that I was able to pass the class.

This class was one of my best experiences at COD. Prof Moorehead's assignments help students understand the key points from each reading, and he gives helpful, detailed feedback. You have to navigate Blackboard to find it, but it's there! Prof encourages students to participate and really engage. You have to do the work, but you learn a lot.

I loved this class! Workload was high but doable. It was an 8 week class, so it's more intense than a regular class that takes more time. The professor's videos were well done, informative & engaging--and that's hard to do in an online class. He asks students for their questions and takes time to respond to each one. He answers messages quickly too

Great class. Logically organized. Engaging professor. Ignore the haters. This really was a fun class and I learned a lot. The class is not about your opinions or prof's opinions. Most students don't talk anyway! Prof makes effort to engage with students, to get them to engage with sociology. Prof wants students to succeed and does his all to help

I loved this class. I had to work for my grade no doubt. But I got out of it what I put into it. So many students just sat there in class not even taking notes, and would stare at their desks when the professor asked questions. I appreciated the professor trying to connect with students and involve them in class.

I'd like to thank the professor for treating this like a college class. He sets high standards and helps you reach them. He's approachable and engaging. Go to office hours! I wish I did earlier. He really wants to challenge your thinking so you learn to "see the strange in the familiar" as he often says. You have to work in this class, no doubt.

I am so glad I got a chance to take a class with Prof Moorehead. He brings sociology to life and shows how the class lessons are linked to so much going on in the world. Some see that as "political" but politics are part of the social world! He tries hard to engage with students, even when some are quiet. He doesn't avoid hard topics either.

great class. I learned a lot, and the professor really cares for his students. This semester has been hard for a number of reasons, and the professor was willing to work with me to help me get thru it. Best class I've had at COD.

I wish all my classes were as engaging and inspiring as this one. I was skeptical of sociology at first but I'm glad I didn't listen to the haters out there. Based on this class, I've decided to major in sociology when I transfer to UIC.

this was a great class. Prof Moorehead really works to help students connect with the class material. it's a fun, engaging classroom environment. getting students to appreciate 100+ year old theories and more recent work is not easy, but Prof Moorehead makes it look easy. I learned a lot. Best class at COD hands down.

Learned a lot. Really interesting class. Planned out well. Clear assignments. Helpful feedback. Really wants his students to succeed. Will work with you to help you.

Professor Moorehead is very nice, I got to know him personally and he definitely is not an a**hole. In the beginning I thought he was because of the reviews. He honestly cares a lot, yes the worksheets are rough and take up your time but he wants you to learn and succeed.

I took Prof Moorehead's sociology class over the summer, there was a worksheet due at the end of each week. There were many videos (About 8+ each week ranging from 8-13 mins each) to watch every week and a variety of readings needed for the worksheets as well. It is a tough class, but I genuinely feel like I actually learned something!

I always looked forward to having his classes. He presents everything in an interesting way and with a fun sense of humor. There's a lot of work, but I found it to be mostly manageable. He's very smart and down to earth and his passion for sociology is contagious.

Professor Moorehead was generally a really good teacher. He explained things very well and gave warnings before assignments were due. He was very flexible and available to students. He tended to insert some of his personal beliefs into his lectures and graded pretty tough, but it was a well-taught class overall and I would recommend taking it.

I really liked this class. Prof Moorehead treats students like adults not high school kids. He says students have their own brains and can think for themselves so he can share his views and we can make our own decisions. I learned a lot in the class, and Prof Moorehead really cares about his students succeeding. Take his classes!

Moorehead is my favorite professor on campus. His lectures were engaging, and I'll miss this class a lot. The worksheets take a lot of work + there's one every week. Be prepared for the intensive reading, and writing. However, Moorehead is a very nice & understanding. If you need an extension on a deadline, he's very willing to listen/accommodate.

This professor is really good! His lectures were very enjoyable and funny. The class material was really interesting too. There is a lot of work, but if you put in the time and effort you will find the class enjoyable and you will get a good grade. I am very glad I took this class with this professor.

Stay away from this class if you just want a grade and don't want to actually earn it. If you're an adult and can handle studying adult topics, then definitely take all the classes you can from Prof Moorehead. He cares about his students' success, and will work with you when you're struggling. Ignore all the comments about his swearing. Lies!

Love this class. Professor gets you to see things in different ways, wants you to learn. This is the most feedback I've gotten in my work which shows he wants you to learn and get better. The readings are interesting too. Definitely recommend this class.

this has been a hard semester for me, but Professor Moorehead reached out to me and helped me get thru it. I felt so bad for getting my work in late but I was balancing work and family issues and was really struggling. so I really appreciate him reaching out and helping me. we need more professors to do this.

Moorehead's SOCIO1100 class is a challenging but rewarding experience. The lectures are engaging, and the readings are intensive. However, the weekly worksheets require significant time and effort. unstuck ai proved helpful for study prep alongside the textbook. Overall, a great class for those willing to put in the work.

Prof Moorehead really makes you think. He goes from work from 150 years ago to 50 years ago to today, linking it all together. I now see things differently! The workload is similar to other classes and he treats you like an adult, not a child to be coddled. I feel respected by that. He works to engage you in class and not just sit there. Loved it!

Prof Moore is very passionate about sociology and often rants during his lectures. There's only a Mid term and final and multiple extra credit assignments. Weekly homework with multiple readings and about 15 questions. But as long as you pay attention to class lectures they are fairly easy but can get tedious every week. He is very against chatgbt!
