This Class was retarded. This professor never responded to emails, he also never recorded the homework, and returned it before the exam. So you never knew what you needed to work on. If I was the dean of this department, I would have fired him along time ago. Do not take from this professor.

This teacher in my opinion is terrible. He will often talk about useless topics/tangents for the whole hour. He is very boring. He will give out a test review and then give you the end of a class period to ask questions. However he really doesn't answer your questions he just dances around the answer. I would not recommend him as a teacher.

Dr Reynolds is extremely interested in ensuring that you understand the material he teaches. His relaxed approach to teaching statistics makes it easier to learn.

Took for upper division credit and I really enjoyed this class/professor. Just 3 exams throughout the whole class and plenty of extra credit opportunities. There are some assignments but they're not too bad, plus they provide a buffer for your grade. Highly recommend.

Focuses on coursework, but also places a heavy emphasis on "thinking like a sociologist" and applying the material learned in real world situations. Very knowledgeable about the subject material, and genuinely cares about how students do in his class.

Easy class, but learned lots. There are 3 exams, which follow the study guide. The assignments kind of suck, they primarily consist of writing 1 page essays- mind you it is an online soci class. If you manage to fall below an "A" he offers extra credit. I'm sure he's a cool guy, but I had literally zero interaction with him because I took it online

Rob is such an easy teacher, he literally doesn't give a flying duck. bi-weekly assignments, easy criterium, don't forget a work cited. Tests confusing but thanks to COVID-19 online resources are a +. Fill out the study guides if you can find them and read the book, but not necessary.

3 Tests, he gives you all the questions beforehand. 10 Papers that are fun to write if you are interested in the topics. An easy A if you show you are putting in some kind of effort. He gave me extra time for an assignment when I had some things going on with my family and was super understanding. He is passionate about his job and is really nice!

Easiest class Ive ever taken. Take the class online and get the ebook. Easy A. There are several writing assignments that can be done by skimming over the material and doing a free write adding in some vocabulary from the reading. The tests are easy as long as you put in the time to do the study guide.

I was so afraid of stats because everyone says it's terrible but Dr. Reynolds makes it so easy to understand. He walks the class through the homework before it's due. He also allows re-dos if you get a bad score. The exams are open book! If you are worried about stats take it from Dr. Reynolds! ( FYI: we didn't use the textbook so don't buy it).

I enjoyed this class, it was mainly lectures and note taking. He's pretty funny. The homework for the class was an assignment every week, as well as quizzes, you can find the answers to the quizzes on Quizlet. It says you need to get a textbook, but he provides it online. Don't buy it at the bookshop, I didn't use it. He had Zoom if you got sick.

Wouldn't take again

Did other homework and assignments during these lectures and didn't really learn much from the actual class. Ctrl "F" granted me 100% for quizzes and as long as you put in a good amount of effort you will get a good grade on your writing assignments which are usually given about once a week. Little boring. Brought up LDS stuff a LOT! Not my thing.

Super nice, helpful, wants you to succeed. Tells fun stories and very down-to-earth person. Makes hard things seem really easy. I took another Environmental Soc class that was awesome and pretty easy. Not a tough grader. Do what you are supposed to, come prepared, get an A.

One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. There are quizzes every week and also short essays to finish. Not hard if you're at all interested in the material. Professor Reynolds tells interesting stories during class which can also help you put the material into perspective better although sometimes it can get kind of boring. Overall great class!

I was genuinely excited to take this class but half-way through the semester it realized this professor have very un-inclusive views. If you are going to teach a class, make sure you teach both sides. I wrote a paper about social status and was knocked down points because I did not specify my own wage range. Would not take this professor again.

He cared about your success; however, he is probably the most boring teacher I have ever had. About half way through the semester I gave up going to class and I still passed with a good grade. Class is not mandatory, and it was a really easy class. Because I thought I was going to die of boredom, I won't take a class from him again.

The online class is set up in a really good way. It is everything you would hope an intro class should be. Relatively easy, skill building, and an introduction to a subject. This class was online, so I can't speak to whether or not he is boring, however, if you are just trying to get that SS and EDI credit over with, this is a great class.

This class was pretty easy! Lots of textbook reading, quizzes to take, and assignments once a week. The assignments were usually 2-page papers about how the subject relates to your life so pretty simple. Honestly, I kinda forgot I was taking this class at times because I would get my work done once a week! The professor is super reachable too!

Mr. Reynolds seems to be a relaxed professor. Canvas is easy to use. Expectations were not always clear and there was no rubric, so I found myself questioning assignments quite often. He was a late grader & didn't grade until week 7. Coursework is manageable. He comments on all assignments. The textbook is free online. The content is interesting.

Professor Reynolds is my favorite Sociology teacher at WSU! I enjoyed our face-to-face religion class, it was fun and engaging. We "had" to go to 3 different religious practices outside of our known religion, as a group or individually. This was extremely eye-opening and important, especially for someone who grew up in Utah.

The hardest thing abt this class is the weekly assignment, but if you answer every question he wants you to answer, even if your writing skills or understanding of sociology are not that great, you can get the A.
