Comment:

Isaac's class was extremely easy and one of the only classes I enjoyed showing up to. You don't need to read, but it helps in the class. The best part about that is he has the text book, PP, and assignments online. The examples he gives in class stick because they're personable. Con: He has bad handwriting. Which he knows so, he doesn't write much.

Comment:

Professor Isaac was easy going throughout the semester. He gives a lot of assignments, but grades easy as long as you do the work or his instructions. The only thing that I did not enjoy in this class were all the tests, which seemed to be a constant struggle to keep up with.

Comment:

He says a bunch of dumb things, such as saying people can't lose their jobs on false rape accusations. He's hard to understand, as he's from Ghana, but he'll let you record his lectures if you ask, so that's nice. My advice: Beware.

Comment:

I took him twice, the first time I took him was for SOC120 and that class was okay so I thought it would be good to take him for an online class. Biggest mistake ever, he is rude, piles work on you, doesn't respond to emails, he grades hard. He gives you several assignments and tests and in a short time limit, he is a horrible online teacher!

Comment:

Isaac makes this class interesting and fun. I took this course over the summer so it was a 4 hour lecture twice a week. But his lectures were organized and clear. His tests are not hard if you read the book and listen to his lectures. He is not very understanding and kind of rude when you absolutely have to miss a class.

Comment:

last semester i had class with him. the thing is ,students have no permission to talking to each other so there is nobody talks to each other by the my first day to the my last day. also when i have a question he told me to reread syllabus by yourself which is not helpful. not including unclear assignments and no participation in class.

Comment:

He is a little hard to understand sometimes due to his accent although he was a great teacher for my class. His whole class is a lecture and you take notes on his power points. He really tries to entertain his students and make his material retable with everyone's lives. The only advice someone really needs is to show up, take notes.

Comment:

He's a little hard to understand because of his accent, Also very scattered notes. And lectures the WHOLE class time. I had a 4 hour class with him he talked the whole time. I think i had 1 class assignment. He jumps from back and fourth subject to subject leaving you confused. And your notes a mess. Barely able to find anything you need to study.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR AN ONLINE COURSE! He assigns multiple time consuming things that are due within a couple days of each other. It seems that all of the assignments and exams include topics not yet covered & when you ask him, he tells you to read ahead if you want points. Also is very bad at responding & answering questions via email. Terrible.

Comment:

I would not recommend! His instructions are extremely complicated & difficult to understand. There were times that I emailed him to clarify something in the syllabus & he responded rudely & basically told me I needed to re-read the syllabus. There is ALOT of reading & work that is assigned all at once & cumulative so you're unable to work ahead.

Comment:

I took Addai's sociology class my freshman year of college. He was funny and made the class very interesting. I would definitely recommend him to anyone taking sociology. Notes are on power points all ready for you to write down, the assignments and papers take up a lot of time but makes taking the exams easy for a 4.0

Professor Addai made Sociology so easy and enjoyable for all students. Gives tons of extra credit homework, so should have no problem passing his class. He is always looking for ways to help students in and out of class. I loved every single minute of his class and i always looked forward to his class, especially when I was bored. I recommend him.

Comment:

I took SOCL 255 online. He seems like a good person, although his English is not the great. It is hard to understand what he wants sometimes, and also if you ask a question. It takes him a couple times to understand what you are saying. Be very clear. What I taught myself in the class was interesting and if you actually do the work you will do fine

I really enjoyed his class, although it was hard to understand him at first, you get used to it. While his lectures are long he only spends time on the information you actually need to know. He is also pretty clear in all assignments and in lectures what you need to do and know. He was also pretty funny and spoke his mind often.

Lectures every single class, you either have to take great notes or read the book and ask a lot of questions to pass. His lectures aren't at all boring though. His accent can be hard to understand sometimes.

Dr. Isaac is great professor, funny, precise, clear on the point. Expect to do a lot of work but his class is the most enjoyable class you can ever take. He is very willing to help and knows his subject beyond reasonable doubt.

Comment:

I aced the class, but it takes a lot of work and don't expect feedback. He is not helpful through emails and is kind of rude when you ask questions. His tests can be confusing considering his spelling is off. The assignments take forever due to some of the questions you have to google because they aren't in the book. Worst online class I ever had.

Did not get one test back after taking exams.... his spelling is terrible on exams and makes them harder to understand what he is saying. If you can independently work on your own take the class, I got an A but his replies sometimes to emails and questions.
