Great teacher, very helpful.

Great teacher, very helpful, and overall I loved his class. Mr. Abercrombie knows how to teach. Tests are not very hard and he makes class interesting.
Great professor! In this class he lectures and you take notes from the Power Point Presentations. Tests can be difficult though, but otherwise he is pretty easy.

Dr. Abercrombie makes the course, which has the potential of being boring and dry, extremely interesting. I enjoy his teaching.
He was so much fun. You will take a lot of notes in his class but it is an easy A IF you do your homework and listen in class. I would strongly advise you to take his class.
This is the best college professor I have ever had. Take any of his classes YOU WILL DO WELL.
Awesome professor! Seems to really care about the success of his students.
This man is not only hot but is brilliant as well. He knows his stuff and makes Sociology interesting by applying it to modern day stuff. He's not all into theory, which helps too.
AWSOME!!
This class is tought very well with a couple of awesome movies includeing a clockwork orange.
Loved the class...he is an awesome teacher!
Why does it ask about appearance? Ha....
Great teacher. Highly recomended
He did make material interesting. And he also made clear his expectations of what you needed to do to do well. He missed my classes final...So we all passed it :o)
His class was the greatest!!!!! He is so cool!
Really funny
dr. abercrombie, is really cool. he wants us to really get something out of his class i wish all my teachers felt that way. Study and do your homework and you will pass.
This guy is hilarious and made class really fun and interesting i totally recommend taking his class!

very cool teacher and great lectures.

On line is the way to go! Easy A – open book test, 5 page paper, weekly board discussion required. There are deadlines for test/paper but you are allowed to work ahead somewhat self-paced. There’s no interaction with other students other than posting replies to specific discussion questions. Much easier than Psy201i!
He's a very good insturctor not difficult at all straight forward nice and very helpful.
Very good teacher. He is interesting, entertaining, and he really knows his stuff. I definantly recommend him.
He is an awesome teacher. I wish every teacher was like him. He will do anything to help you pass and he makes class interesting. I actually wanted to go to class
Very easy and great teacher, Will take every class.
Great teacher! He is very interested in this subject, which makes it easier to learn from him! He is very caring and wants you to do the best that you can. He also will make sure that you understand and do well in his class! Great PERSON!
even though i was really slack with actually showing up to class, i pulled a B out of, and when I did go to class I learned a whole lot. He keeps the class interesting, and knows a lot about criminal studies...
The Internet class is cake, but don't expect to learn anything. If you need contact with the teacher, take this on campus. He teaches at Tech and USC, so he leaves NO TIME for his online students. No feedback/grades on your papers whatsoever. I don't even think he reads them. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about him, but whatever. Easy A.
I have to say that he made the class very interesting. I was never bored, not once at all. I also learned alot. His test are very easy and the material comes straight from his notes. Highly recommend him.
Kind of a smart behind. Good teacher though. Funny, and really seems to enjoy what he's doing.
good professor
Great professor. The tests aren't too hard if you study, but the final is killer. He makes this class interesting.
Interesting course; interesting instructor.
One of the best teachers at MTC! class is super fun and interesting! go to class and take notes you will get a good grade...has one paper for the semester that he will help u with. definitely recommend!
Sociology 101 with Dr. Abercrombie is awesome. He is a great professor and so much fun. He is interested in his students opinions and helping them succeed. His class i highly recommend.
Dr Abercormbie is GREAT!! EASY A and gives you 100 on all of your papers. Planning on taking more classes with him. I did take them online and had no problems!!
Dr. Abercrombie is one of the best teachers that i have ever had! I had him for Sociology 101 and he makes everyone feel at ease. He is funny too and helps you with everything!
I took this professor's course online. Your final grade is based on four tests, which are all multiple-choice taken online (very easy). I tried emailing him several times throughout the semester, but he would never respond. USELESS. I had to withdraw.
What a great teacher!!! Took this as an online class. As long as you do the work you'll get a good grade. Very easy to connect with and has very reasonable expectations of the class. Learned a lot and would definitley take him again.
Very good professor. Took his class online and it was easy. He is very nice and helpful whenever you have questions.
great teacher! loved him. all of his tests come from his notes. dont even need the book. i took him for a 7 week course and he does have one 11 page research paper. but other than that just review notes and youll do great
good teacher, but can make the subject harder than it is. he took a long time to return test but they were easy if you studied notes. Fun class but would not take again.
Taught off power points, Still was extremely fun, as long as you took notes you passed. Loved it, want to take another one of his classes.
Took class online and it was very interesting. Tests are also online, so very easy. The final was difficult but still made an A. Would recommend.
good teacher and easy to passed if u take notes.helpful
great professor. the class is a lot of fun and very interesting. take notes and you will be fine
Teaches from PowerPoints, tests based entirely off of notes, plays reviews games with test questions for extra credit, one research paper required but very easy to pass. An okay guy but sometimes he can be a bit of a jerk to a student for nothing. Funny with an amazing knowledge of his content area. Oddly enough, makes lots of references to ****.
Dr Abercrombie was much easier online than he was in the classroom! I was stressed out the first time around, but I thoroughly enjoyed this class online even though it is still a very tough subject!
The Spring '07 class was a lot of fun. PowerPoint teacher. He tells things in his own quirky way and it was a real pleasure coming to class. One of the few classes that I ever looked forward to coming to. I made a B solely on the fact that I did not do the paper. Just pay attention, ask questions, do the paper and you'll be sure to make an A. =D
Mr. Abercrombie is a great teacher! I passed his class with a B+! if you pay attention and take notes well you will make no less than a B! His class is very easy he knowledgeable of the subject and the tests are straight from his powerpoints and he does reviews!!! I would take him again!
I love his quirky-ness. It brings life to a rather dull subject. His test questions and power-point slides match up. He's my last class of a long day and I look forward to it. He doesn't over-complicate the material; simple and to the point. I'd totally take him again for any other Sociology class.
very reasonable and accomodating teacher.
Dr. Abercrombie is an awesome professor. He makes the class fun and I looked forward to going to it. Make sure you take notes and print out what he puts online. I made an A strictly because I paid attention. You DO NOT need the book for SOC 101. I'd take him again in a second.
Great teacher one of the best I've had.
Very straight forward. He teaches a lot of classes at one time so he was very good about giving out powerpoints as well as giving us the option to take our test in class or the testing center. I took his class Hybrid and every test was open book open not except final. He was awesome and I recmd you take him!
Freaking awesome teacher
Great professor! Not really into sociology, but he made it fun and I actually wanted to go to class.
great teacher, not much effort needed to learn or do well. lots of note taking, its a lecture class. study notes and ace tests. great guy
easy class...anyone can get an a whether you work hard or not. Didnt learn as much as I could have. He didnt care as long as he made people happy.
He was pretty easy for the most part. There was a punch of note taking and he would do in class reviews before the test that had about the same questions as the test!You have to put a bit of effort into this class, its not just handed to you. And the information is pretty hard to understand
He is an awesome teacher. Very helpful and wants you to pass his class. Definitely recommend him!
I loved this teacher! He was very funny and definitely kept the class alive. He dedicated an entire class period before test to reviewing and the review was the exact question that were on test. Sometimes he does seem to wander in his thoughts and goes off but always finds his way back to topic and leaves you laughing. Easy grader
Abercrombie is the man! He is a very funny and very smart teacher. He makes the class fun and makes learng hard subject easy. He will bend over backwards for you. If you take the notes and study for the test you will be fine. Ask him to pronounce Zaxby's!
AWSOME taking next semester again.
Fun guy, very smart and knows how to keep students interested
Very interesting. Loved his class, he is very clear at teaching the material and his tests come straight from notes.
Loved his class, he is very clear at teaching the material and his tests come straight from notes.
He will be the best professor you will ever have. He is the best. Take notes and you will pass easy. He is the coolest dude alive.
Dr. Abercrombie is a great teacher! His tests are easy, and he likes to curve grades. He teaches off a power point, and we hardly ever opened our books. He is very knowledgeable, and you can tell that he truly enjoys his job!! He is highly recommended!!
Great Professor!
Dr. Abercrombie is a very nice man. But I felt the lectures were very different from the test. Your test are online and you can take them 3 times! He also gives extra credit opportunities. The paper at the end stinks.
GREATEST TEACHER EVER! Made sociology fun!
Dr. Abercrombie is a wonderful teacher who is very understanding! He has a review day where you split up into groups and answer questions similar to what's on the test. The group that wins gets extra points on their test. I would recommend him to anyone!
He is very funny, and his lectures while they are long, he makes you laugh, and gives many examples to understand the material. He can be kind of harsh with what he says BUT he does it with a smile so it is ment to be a joke. His test and homework are LONG but easy. Only bad thing with this class is the way he reviews for his test. But still great
Dr. Abercrombie is HILARIOUS! I would definitely take him again. He kept my 8 am interesting and I always looked forward to his classes and his stories. I definitely recommend him!!
Abercrombie is a very entertaining teacher. He is also very relaxed, so the due dates for tests are usually later than he says. Many tests were open to complete until the end of the semester (dont wait that long, though!). The one paper he assigns is very long, however, so make sure to start research on it sooner, rather than later.
By far the sweetest most caring teacher I've encountered. He's very helpful and fair ! I recommend him to anyone. Nothing was too hard as long as you put in a little effort. He gets an A++++
Seriously take his class. He is the easiest professor I have ever had. We had 3 test and they were online. We never used the book, don't get it. He says we need it but I never used it. There's one paper and it's like 10 pages if you do it you'll get an A. The lectures are interesting and he's funny. Lets class out early. Show up and make an A!
Very easy professor, likes to talk about his past experiences and very funny. You will not be bored at all in this class and the tests are online, just study his notes and read some of the text book and you should be fine. Worst part of class was the ten page research paper, don't overcomplicate it and get started ASAP.
Has lots of extra credit. Very very funny. There was lecture days and you could print out the notes for class. Then you would do a group activity to review. Whichever group won got 5 bonus points on the test. Very understanding and cares.
Overall a good professor, nice and answers emails just gives a lot of HW/ discussion posts. make sure u keep up with tasks
Don't buy the book!!!! i made an A in this class without it. For my class all the tests were online, at home... I think you can figure the rest out ;). Not a single time did i need the book. He's very funny so class is interesting. Tests are kind of hard but again, online... at home. Oh and there is a term paper so don't procrastinate on that!!!!!
If you can follow directions, you will do great in this class. Makes the class fun and entertaining, tells you what you need to know and moves on. All the test are online and have multiple attempts except for the final is one attempt. Test come from material found in the book, so I recommend reading the chapters and highlighting important things.
Great professor! I would highly recommend him. There are weekly discussions you have to participate in for attendance & homework, but they are very easy. Tests can be tough but not unbearable. There is one paper that is pretty long you have to write in the middle of the semester, but again --pretty easy and straight forward.
Grading was done in a timely manor, communication was clear and consistent, assignments were easily understood, followed syllabus
It's a comedy show that somehow managed to teach about society. 10/10
His sociology 101 class was so much fun, he ties in real life situations into his lectures. As long as you read over PowerPoints youll do good on his exams. There is a 10 page paper due for midterms, but its a breeze once you collect all the data needed.
Dr. Abercrombie is a hoot. Taken during the summer. Lectures are super interesting & funny. Show up & listen, write down whats on the slides and ask questions if you don't understand. 3 Exams all have 3 attempts (online), 1 moderately large paper (9-11 pgs) & final. Although the paper was pretty long, read the grading criteria & you'll get an A
Super understanding and easy to get in contact with.
Great professor and enjoyed the course! Very easy as long as you write notes from the lectures, study for the tests and complete the course paper early!
He discusses the topics thoroughly with fun PowerPoints. There's always great class discussions and his lectures are pretty short. His tests are very easy as long as you study and pay attention in class. He had all the class materials online which made it very easy to study. I would definitely take a class with him again if I could.
Be prepared to write tons of notes. Funny and knows his material.
Great professor! Very understanding.
Took during summer. Easy going and makes lectures fun and interesting with power points and video clips. Lot so of notes. Reviews before a test-dont miss it BC some of the questions are on the test. 1 large paper. Fell behind lecture due to MTC site shutdown but he helped get us caught up. Very understanding and approachable. 10/10 best professor!
Mr. Abercrombie was the best sociology professor I ever had. Every time I came to class I was excited to learn about everything he had in store. His quizzes were easy because they were exactly the same questions you see in the reviews. The only hard part was the paper. Both exams were open book. I highly recommend this class if you want an easy A.
Such a sweet older man. Very helpful if you get behind, he'll also give you extra credit and just wants you to be able to pass. Runs through slide shows for lectures and will slow down if asked. He reviews through important questions before tests and he connects with the entire class. One of my favorite classes and his adorable cat is also a 10/10!
Dr. Abercrombie is a very knowledgeable professor and is great at getting points across.
This class was asynchronous & wasn't very hard. There were in-depth discussions and a quiz weekly, but not difficult so long as you read some. He gives 3 attempts at higher scores on nearly every quiz/exam. Be sure to study for the competency quizzes, those are heavy with only a few questions. Paper was easy. Chances for retakes. Good @ email comm.
He's a real character. Really funny and makes his lectures interesting. Miss his class!
