This guy is interesting, has a deep understanding of Sociology to the point of creating his own terms that are extremely helpful on remembering topics.

Great Prof he loves sociology so he makes class very interesting. Good lecturer, goes in depth, better than text. Likes class input and discussion.

Great teacher should publish the umbrella model. Helps out with any problem. Makes soliology interesting. Highly recommend this teacher

AWESOME! great professor, wish he taught more classes.. definitely take him

He's a very enthusiastic teacher but for a intro class it's a lot of work. In addition to tests he makes the class do journal entires (about 13) with the journal entires you need to do a 2 page write up for each one. If you enjoy class discussion then take it if not don't!

Great professor...The essays are long if you wait until the last night to do them. You can tell he loves sociology and clearly explains everything and writes key terms and names on the board. Good luck quitting smoking i know you can do it

He's a good professor but you need to work hard, the journals may seem like a lot of its not hard if you keep up with them, use sociology terms he likes that, pay attention during class discussions and laugh at his jokes he likes that.

Class is pretty easy, just take good notes and listen in class. Do the journals as you go along because its a lot if you wait until the last minute. I used the textbook only a few times during the semester. This class was interesting and he is a great teacher.

He is really nice. You must take good notes however. His tests are fair. He is very intresesting and easy going. I have him for an 8:00 am class, and he manages to keep my attention. I would take another class with him. However, I hardly use my text book. Don't wait for the night before to do journal entries.

He is very clear and its a very easy class to take notes in. As long as you attend class you will find the tests are very very fair.

His lectures are very interesting and uses humor to help carry it out. By far the funniest professor I've had. However, his tests are difficult and there's very little margin for error. So in order to do well in class, you need to take detailed notes while attending every class.

He's a really great professor; you can tell he enjoys his job. He gives us journal entries and they were a pain but if you do them weekly you should be fine. I didn't and had to pull a serious all nighter. Don't be like me lol, don't do them all the night before.

Overall, he's a very good professor. He knows how to teach, and make his lectures interesting. He relates sociology to real life situations. He also make you do journals every week so that also helps understand the material better. Beware: If you don't do the journals as you go along, you'll have a lot to catch up on. He can get cooky sometimes.

Prof Sardiello was one of the best professors ever. Makes lectures interesting and funny. Material is right from the textbook but he makes it a lot easier to understand. Curves the tests so there's really no way you can fail. He does current event topics and you have to write journals make sure you keep up with them. He's also an easy grader.

This class was very nice but he makes you do journal entry's at the end of the semester that you must hand in for 18% of your grade. I got a 50 for working with someone from the class and using there notes Bc I missed some days yet people who copy and pasted from the Internet got 80s and 90s. Words of advice copy and paste.

Really awesome professor! He only gave 4 tests all semester and they were straight from his lectures. He made sure you knew exactly what to expect on the test. Journals are nothing if you keep on top of them, just use his "sociology" terms.

Amazing professor. One of my favorites. His test are clear and based on the lectures. Make sure to take notes.

Do not take this class for an Easy A. Professor is very knowledgeable and does well at explaining sociology, but this is no gimme class. Not necessarily too much work, but without paying attention, taking very good notes and reading the textbook you will not do well. If you're looking for an intro class for an Easy A elective, this is not the one.

Really enjoyed his class & he enjoys teaching it. if you take really good notes in lectures you don't need textbook. tests are multiple choice unless you're doing a makeup exam- so make sure you don't miss test days. barely any HW. just a current events journal due at end of semester- Do NOT wait until last minute. Don't. DON'T!!!

One of the best professors that I've ever had. Cool guy. Enthusiastic about the course and teaching.

Really nice guy, and you can tell he loves sociology. Very lecture heavy and only writes a few words on the board, if you aren't the type of person to absorb info quickly, he may not be the best professor for you. 4 tests overall, 75-80 multiple choice, and a journal entry report, 2 pages per issue and there is 9 issues,18 pgs DONT WAIT GET IT DONE

Professor S is an extremely nice and funny guy. While his class may be boring at most times he truly has a passion for the subject. I had an unfortunate mishap the last week of classes and mixed up the final dates. He came all the way to campus to let me make it up. Truely goes to show how much he cares weather ypu actually do well or not!!!!

Hes a good guy just don't bring a six pack of beer and a McDonald's breakfast to class and he got the older textbook so its cheaper not all heroes wear capes

He has a pretty chill personality.

Really funny professor! He presents the material in really relatable ways and likes to crack jokes in the middle of lectures. His lectures are basically the test so as long as you attend and pay attention, you'll get an A. Also, you'll hear him talk about Chipotle and The Walking Dead a lot.

Funny and caring. Makes class fun. One project which is like 3 pages long and a few journals through the semester. Easy and makes class enjoyable!

Very educated professor, truly cares about what he teaches. Mostly lecture and you will need to take notes in order to pass, but its not too much work. Has 3-4 kids do a current events each week which counts as your final, and its super easy. As long as you attend class, you will pass. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic professor. Always found a way to make sociology somewhat enjoyable. He's always trying to get the class involved in lectures and is very understanding. Would love to take his class again

Prof. Sardiello is a really great! He helps you out with the textbook by choosing an older edition. Pay attention in class, look over the textbook and you will do well. I'm not too interested in sociology, but I found it enjoyable during Sardiello's class. The current events were interesting to hear.

While he uses the textbook, he takes his own approach in terms of the order in which he teaches it. This approach is a lot more logical and sensical than the textbook is, and you will find yourself appreciating Sociology a lot more with Prof. Sardiello. Make sure you attend and take notes, because you will eventually have to do a presentation.

At first I wasnt a fan of him but I started to enjoy his class. He is lecture heavy and doesnt have any PowerPoints. Therefore take notes. The hardest part was having to constantly take my own notes. Very engaging sometimes has good jokes. I would definitely take him again.

Professor Sardiello was a great professor. As long as you come to class, pay attention, take good notes, and study you will do good on tests. Tests are easy and straight forward but you need to study in order to do well.

Professor Sardiello is amazing! He is very passionate about the lecture topics, cares a lot about the material and does a great job explaining it to students. He is a tough grader and the lectures are rather heavy, but as a professor he is very patient and fair with his students. You can't fail this class unless you really try it's very unlikely

Great guy, really nice person also very funny. I took him at Nassau Community college before transferring to FSC and am currently taking another one of his classes this semester, it has been very easy and refreshing.

I took his online course during pandemic, struggled a little, re took the course again in person and am overall extremely pleased. He is quite the jokester during class, lectures are a bit tedious but he makes them interesting. I think hes a great guy inside and out of the classroom. The effort u put into this class makes ur grade. You have 2 try!

All the negatively reviewed comments are biased. These comments were given during the height of the pandemic and professors were forced to alter their teaching styles in ways unimaginable. How about instead of taking it out on the professor, take a step back and ask yourself did you do everything you could to pass? Or did you throw in the towel...

Sardiello has a lot of passion for sociology and it shows in how he presents his lectures. I didn't particularly care for sociology as a subject but he still made it enjoyable to learn. The notes are all vocab and almost all of it is self-explanatory. There will be questions on the test that refer to things he only said in class. Easy and fun class

I really did enjoy the class and Professor Sardiello, but it was not an easy class by any means. The whole grade is 4 tests and a current event report. He does not post the notes or anything on Blackboard. However he is not a tough grader I got B with only 1 test grade over 80. Just try to show up to most if not all classes attendance is huge!

The tests are not as hard as people are saying. If u do not pay attention in class or take notes, it isn't his fault. All the notes are on the board and he gives you ample time to write them. He doesn't post on blackboard. If you have great attendance+come on time u get extra credit. Student does a SHORT presentation and writes a 3-page summary

Best Professor his grading was good, changed from talking to the class, to showing slide shows just be prepared to remember names and their relation to sociology. He would make jokes, one was when I moved from the back of the classroom to the front and the first question was about a student who changed seating 3 weeks in what norm is considered?

Very quirky and funny. Not a lot of participation from my class, but he enjoys when you do. 4 tests overall (not cumulative), and 1 HW (current event). Be prepared to study A LOT of material for the tests! Dont HAVE to read textbook for tests. ATTENDANCE MATTERS. Takes points off if you are late. Will say important stuff for test in class

super easy going guy. only thing i wished was he posted notes on BS but it didnt matter. as long as u copied the notes and really pay attention your set. 1 current event report where you include any topic of sociology. test were 76 question sometimes more but again just study the notes and ur good

A lot of people gave him a bad review but I feel he's a good professor, his class requires you to be present, do some studying, and take notes. He isn't a bad professor. He gives extra credit for being on time for class. 4 tests, 80 multiple questions, but he goes over it all when doing notes. Just take notes and pay attention and you will pass.

Gives extra credit for being present which is great. Only a few tests and 1 project throughout the semester to be graded on. Doesn't give his notes so you must be present and a good note taker if you want to look back at any information.

There are 6 tests, online over the wknd with 46 questions. Pretty easy if you pay attention and take notes. he does post his power points. Gives extra credit for attendance. Don't have to talk in class except for the one current event report everyone has to do. I hate public speaking and it was fine. sometimes annoying but not bad professor.

Professor Sardiello is a great professor. He keeps class interesting and engaging with the lectures, as you can tell he has a lot of passion for what he does. The grade mostly depends on tests- as long as you show up to class and take notes you will do well. I would definitely recommend taking Professor Sardiello

Professor Sardiello is an awesome professor. He's genuinely a really good guy who cares about his students. He's one of the few professors I've had who is really passionate about what he is teaching. It's important to attend classes as the examples he provides in class are on tests! He also offers extra credit for attendance. Would take again
