The soon to be Dr. Thadius is insightful and unserstanding. I greatly respect this man, and i appreciate all the guidance he has given towards being successful both is education and life. This man has so much to offer the world. He's changing the world by disseminating information and fostering understanding.
Best sociology teacher I ever had, class was never boring always had interesting talks and decisions in class. Three major assignments. Midterm, final and a research paper. class wasn't hard at all very easy to understand. talked about problems in the real world .
Mr. Batiste is awesome and knows his stuff too!!!
Great Professor, I was taking this class as a GPA booster at first. But after the first week of class it was very intresting and had a lot of discussions. Eveyone should take this class.
Awesome professor and super knowledgeable. He always gives insightful lectures and facts which are extremely inspirational and willing to help students. I would definitely take one of his classes again.
Professor Thadius Batiste is an excellent professor! I enjoyed going to class because he applied the course material to life. His intriguing factual evidence and realistic view of life motivates me to research trending world topics. I am excited for future classes in sociology because Prof. Thadius gave me a great foundation in my Intro SOCI class.
During class, you get to escape the outside world. You are opened to new ways of thinking, and your eyes are truly opened due to factual evidence.
He was a really good teacher
SUPER EASY GOING
Great Professor! Awesome lectures, really get into details for better understanding.
He is very funny and he always makes his lectures interesting. It isn't just your average professor where you sit down and get in a get out he makes it fun and it makes you want to come to class. In order to fail his class you have to not try at all
He is superb..!
Best teacher ever
Mr. Batiste is the GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER! He makes class fun and entertaining and the time flew by. I wish I could take him for all my classes. He is an easy going teacher but you have to pay attention. Must have!

He was a great teacher. It was an absolute pleasure taking him. If you have to take sociology I suggest you take Mr. Batiste.
Good Teacher Easy Class But Have To Go
Thadius Batiste is an awesome person and teacher. All of his lectures were interesting and caused me to think more deeply about society. Definitely take him, you will learn a lot and enjoy it along the way! One midterm, research paper, and a final. Lots of extra credit available.

He's a great Teacher!
Mr. Batiste is such a great teacher and his class is very fair if you study you will do great
This class was amazing! I learned alot and he made it interesting and fun as well! It was easy to relate to the subject matter, and he made sure that we understood the material, so that we could pass the class!
Skipping class is about the only way to fail.. Mr. Batiste is very informing & inspiring.
He's a great professor helps you when you need the help. Responds fast whenever you need help over the weekend. Gives great advice to you if you ask him questions.
This professor was by far one of my favorites. He's great at making the lesson understandable and easy to learn. I would definitely take him again if I could.
Very Good Teacher. Makes Class Easier By Putting It Into real life Situations
Amazing teacher! The book is not really needed. He gives lively and hilarious lectures related to life experiences. Incredibly understanding of life circumstances. Attendance is not priority, but you wouldnt want to miss it.
Professor Batiste makes sociology interesting by using real life examples to explain the material. Hes very informative. Yes you have to do the work required but its not excessive and its manageable. I highly recommended taking his class!
This has been the best course I've taken at SLCC.
He may laugh and joke every once in a while, but he also gets through his lectures very smoothly.
I enjoyed Mr. Thadius lectures he brings the material down to our level of understanding. I would definitely take his class again!
Is a good teacher, not extremely hard but not extremely easy at the same time. Gives good life advice.
I enjoy professor Batiste teaching because he puts a lot into his teaching skills
Mr. Batiste class is very informative about everyday life and issues. He is very knowledgeable about different cultures and shares some personal experiences to help you understand. Your mind will be open to something you were not aware of before. You will diffently want to participate and learn from one another.
I enjoy this class anytime i needed any help he was willing to stay late and help me. what i like about this class is you can apply it to your everyday life. I wish we had more teachers like you who really care, not there for a pay check. Thank you for all you have done for me! I pray that God bless you like you have bless others!
He is defiantly a professor I would recommend for anyone taking this class.
He has a great personality and also knows how to prove his lectures with everyday examples. He teaches a fun class you wont want to miss!
He has an amazing personality his lectures teaches you everyday life examples very fun class you will enjoy I recommend anyone to take his class just all around great!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! His class is very educational and he keeps you informed about everyday life issues. Textbook is optional, but it is not needed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He's a good teacher.
I find there can be trouble with clarity but overall enjoyable to listen to. The way he explains the material makes it easy to understand. A little inconsistent but there are normally three grades. A paper, the midterm, and the final make up your grade. But, there is plenty of opportunity for bonus. There is no way you will fail unless you skip.
He is a fun professor, who relates sociology to current events.
Thadius Batiste is an excellent professor but thrives off of lectures. He teaches what he needs to about sociology but also teaches you life lessons.
Very good teacher, he is fairly an easy A.
He uses real life problems he had to teach. He gives you everything you need to pass his class and test are easy and he gives study guides.
Thaddeus Batiste is an amazing professor. I really appreciate the way he cares about his students education as well as his job.
Mr. Batiste was my favorite professor here! He really helps us to understand everyday things going on in the world, and keeps us up to date with them. He is really helpful if you ask for it, and gives lots of extra credit. Overall, I would definitely take him again for any class!
Awesome professor! Down to Earth
He is an awesome teacher. I loved his class and he made sure his midterm and final was very easy.
He's a great teacher! His lectures apply to real life and they are entertaining to listen to. The book is not technically required but very useful. He definitely would be my pick for a Sociology class.
this class was very interesting and I learned a lot about the world around me. He does not give to many assignments but when he does they are essays or a group project. Take notes if you feel like at and listen to him!
He is a great teacher
He doesnt take attendance every class, but if you dont pass due to your absences dont expect him to be bending over backwards to ensure that you pass. It took me about a week to get used to his lecture style, but once I did he was an amazing professor. He knows what hes talking about, and encourages class participation.
Good teacher.
Youll be fine. id take him again ,again ,& again after that!
we need more of him! Thanks for everything!!!!!!
Very good teacher, want you to learn. I would take him again!!!!!!!!
Mr. Batiste is one of the best teachers I have ever taken. He lectures so we can understand and is very knowledgeable. Participate in class, its worth it. I would take him again a million times if it were possible.
Ive never met a teacher like Mr. Batiste. Hes hilarious, professional, but down to earth. He lectures in an understanding way. He makes class fun and interesting. Ive taken his other class and Ill definitely take more.
Great teacher. His style is a bit unconventional, but he relates real world topics to his lecture. Sometimes he goes off on his soapbox, but I loved his class. Definitely taking again in the future.
Keep everyone entertain!!!
Very funny, interesting lectures, very helpful, explains everything thoroughly.
Mr Batiste Is an wonderful, outstandin teacher u will learn things in an fun, active way. Truly an great experience!
Mr. Batiste is an amazing teacher that keeps you engaged with his lectures. He uses past and present examples and ways of relating the world to our everyday life. He also makes it easy to relate to his lectures and examples throughout the class. I plan to take other Sociology classes with him.
Mr. Batiste is a great who cares about his student and really give to the knowledge beyond the classroom.
Professor Batiste was the first the teacher for the first class at SLCC I have taken. He is very well spoken and a excellent communicator. His lectures are fun to listen to as well as participate in. 10/10 would take again.
Great!!!
I truly enjoyed this class. He gives good advice and is willing to help in any way to be successful in his class. His lectures are compared to real life stories. Best professor I have ever had.
Highly recommend taking this instructor. Use of multiple teaching styles enriches learning experience. Very cool instructor and very understanding. Awesome lectures.
Although Batiste is an easy teacher, I learned a lot! His lectures were interesting and related to himself and the class. There was one paper and had to be read in front of the class. Besides that, his tests were pretty straight forward and he cares a lot about his students and his reputation.
Professor Batiste is a great instructor. He knows his material and presents it an interesting way. Class is not boring. He wants you to succeed and cares about his students. Test were a little difficult for me since theyre cumulative of several chapters although they were easy more so than not. I would definitely recommend him. Will take him again
All discussions, real easy. Read the chapters and you will pass his class easily.
This was my first time taking a Sociology class and Professor Batiste made it one of my favorite classes of the semester. He gives great lectures and incorporates relatable stories to help students learn and retain the information in his class. The homework load is average but if you put in the work & dont fall behind you will most likely get an A!
10/10 would recommend a great professor.
Mr. Batiste is a great professor that keeps you invested throughout the lecture as they tie in with how everything is going on in the real world. Would definitely take again!
Very interesting lectures about modern-day conflicts in society.
Mr. Thadius is a great professor that relates many topics to his personal life to show as an example.
Mr. Batiste is one amazing professor that connects real life situations as examples to his lectures. By doing this he makes his students understand his material better while making the class very interesting. Easy A. I would a hundred percent recommend taking his class. Also, very nice and helping.
The best sociology professor so far. I really enjoyed the topics and how we discussed about everything in general and not have focus on the textbook.
Professor Batiste is a great teacher who helps you if you are struggling and you have earned his help. Reading the chapters is highly advised, especially for the discussion questions which you will have about once or twice a week. Work hard in the class and you will succeed. Also, take advantage of the help he gives.
Professor Batiste was a great teacher this semester. His lectures were very informative and he taught us a lot we needed to know about society.
REMARKABLE PROFESSOR! DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT TAKING MR. BATISTE CLASS.��
Sometimes had tears in my eyes from laughing from his jokes. Great teacher even better teacher. My favorite class this semester. Someone i would be friends with outside of school.
He keeps the class interesting, doesnt overload with homework and provides plenty of extra credit. You will need to read the book, but he lets you use a free online version and explains the material well. You will actually want to attend class, and hes very understanding if something happens and you need to miss one or two.
His class is very easy and pretty straight forward. He goes over each chapter and give many scenarios and examples which give you a better understanding to his lectures. He also is gives extra credit for many things and is very flexible with assignments.
My second time taking Professor Batiste, for Sociology Subjects. He's an AMAZING PROFESSOR. Wish I can take him again. Don't think twice, select Professor Batiste for Sociology. Wish SLCC had more like Professor Batiste at its Lafayette Campus.
Not accessible outside of class. Professor takes a couple of days to respond to emails and canvas messages. Although, you should not really need to email him since his assignments are really straightforward and simple.
Around the beginning of the class, everything was fine, but the more I asked questions the tougher it got. I could ask for details on an assignment and it would go days without a reply. I wouldn't take him. Especially not for a summer class like I did.
he slayed
He is a good teacher and has great stories which make class interesting. Quizzes and exams are pretty easy if you study and read the textbook. Must study to pass!
This professor was really good because he made class interesting and relatable. He is pretty funny, and super nice. His tests aren't super hard because most of the questions come from the textbook. Be prepared to read a lot of the textbook, but a lot of it is interesting.
Loves to lecture and tell stories to make class interesting. Talks about engaging topics to keep you listening in class.
This professor is good. He talks about things that are interesting and current in the world, and he is pretty funny. All of the tests are pretty easy because most of the information is in the textbook. Be prepared to read!
He gives really clear instructions for the discussions that we do. His lectures are very interesting because he uses relevant, real-world examples to relate them to the topic. The only thing that I didn't like was his lectures did not correlate with the discussion for that week and would be a couple of chapters ahead. Just take notes and look back!
This was one of the best classes I've ever taken. There was weekly discussion post, but they were not graded harshly if you followed the directions correctly. Class wasn't mandatory besides the days we presented our paper. Towards the end he assigned a lot of extra credit. Some were a short paper and others were easy like writing this rating.
Professor Batiste was a great teacher and had good lectures to keep the class intrigued. Had one group project then had to do the same project individually. Grades easily as long as you meet the requirements. Overall a fantastic teacher that taught me a lot about society.
The class was amazing. They have discussion questions almost weekly, but instructions are very clear. Test and quiz answers are all in the notes and textbook.
Mr. Batiste was a great professor. Everyday in class were lectures based on the chapters that he connected to current events. There are a few discussions almost a week or two apart from each other.
Mr. Batiste was a fun class. Had discussions almost weekly and then about 4 quizzes and 3 exams. Gives you lots of time to take the tests and there isn't many questions. Just make sure to pay attention in class.
This is my one of the favorite classes this semester. I m so glad I had an opportunity to meet this professor. He is so easy. Would definitely take him again.
This professor is outstanding and fun to be around. He cracks fun jokes when needed to draw attention to the lesson. When needed to be serious, he handles things in a respectable format. He also has great advice to give!
I loved having Professor Batiste. He was amazing to work with and he provided feedback on everything we did. He was an awesome teacher, 10/10 I would take him again!
Professor Batiste offers his students many opportunities to higher their grade with extra credit assignments towards the end of the course. He also does a very good job of relating sociology to not only history but also recent events happening in the world and he does a good job of helping you see things from a different perspective.
He was real easy to understand and I felt comfortable to ask questions. His class was not difficult and he made sure to relate to society today!
Best professor ever! He is always trying to help out students! He is able to get back to easily whenever you have a problem in class. He talks about the history of sociology but also talks about what is happening now in society today.
A very funny and inspiring professor made the class enjoyable and engaging.
