Comment:

He was very funny if you knew what he was talking about. I didn't go to class for like 2 wks once and he never noticed. Study the study guides and take notes, 'cause they're on the exam. He was pretty good tho.

He was funny but I had no idea what he was saying about sociology. He gives grades based on 3 tests so if you bomb one you're pretty much screwed.

This was my favorite class. he is so freaking hilarious and will tell you the most interesting stories you will ever hear. Class is kinda challenging but if you show up, take notes, and ask questions, its a pretty easy class. he is my favorite professor by far!

Comment:

he is agood teacher but his lectures are all from his notes and some from the text. be prepared to come to every class and listen carefully. tests are hard if you dont take notes or listen in class. i liked his class, it was fun but kinda gets boring after a while. i would recommend him though.

Not horrible; not great tho. His handwritting is illegible & he is impossible to hear unless you sit in the first row. He mumbles a lot.

Comment:

Schweiker rocks. He's facetious at times, but it helps break things up. If you're stupid enough to not go to class, you fail. He concetrates on social issues that are real world, current, and important. The worst thing about his class is how he grades, 3 tests only. So if you mess up on 1 like me, your grade suffers. But I trust you'll get over it.

Comment:

This prof. is very interesting he talks about his ex wives alot(not sure how many he actually has) and about his current wife. All the things he teaches in this class you learn through a high school course. There isn't any work just three exams but the thrid one is considered the final. This class is strictly a lecture class.

He sits there and lectures the whole class, if you dont come to class or read the read you will not get a good grade. Go to class and study and you will do fine! He is a bit weird but very intelligent.

Comment:

Very easy professor, talks alot about random stuff that happened in his life.. mainly **** again women. 2 tests, and a final are the grades, so if you do horrible on 1 test, it can impact your final grade.. Nice guy though

Comment:

I've had him twice - once face to face & once online. I have mixed feelings. He is very knowledgeable & very laid back. In class he makes A LOT of comments about girls & it gets irritating. Assigns no homework other than read the book & take tests. Online was better so I didn't have to hear his comments so much, more sticking to the actual class.

Not quite sure what to say. Interesting class. But you learn more about his life experiences than anything else. Easy exams.

Comment:

This guy is not a **** he just talks frankly about sex. Learned a lot both about sociology and abut life. He even told us about Roth IRAs and encouraged us to open one.He treats all students fairly althogh a lot of us are ...holes. I only got a B, but that's what i deserved. If je weren't so old I could go for him.

Comment:

I dont no what 2 say! He is a male pig! I hated his class. U dont have 2 come 2 class, but I did & still didnt do well. He gives notes verbally & then they always turn in 2 stories bout himself or sexy women. There r 3 quizes. I would take them & think I did well but when I got them back I ended up bombing them??? Mayb I wasnt sexy enough?

Comment:

Anyone with a desire to learn will do well in Dr. Schweiker's courses. He's best at Symbolic Interactionism and Social Deviance. Elite Deviance was an excellent class, too. If you invest your mind and time, you'll learn so much. Plus, he's very friendly and approachable, especially about sociology, though he's very strict on grades.

Comment:

He jumps around way to much. Maybe he should invest in a projector or something. He reads from his notes way to much. Really boring because he just reads information to you and even if he writes on the board you cant read it.
