Comment:

What a wonderful man. Clearly extremely passionate about the content he teaches and that enough was good enough to get me interested. Class and grading is clearly cut out in the syllabus on day 1. Whole class is out of a total 100 points and will give extra credit if you earn it. No final, no tests (just 5 pop quizes based on reading). GO CLAUDE!!!

He's a cool professor, you need to read the chapters. Every quiz is open note, but you don't know when the quizzes will be so take notes each week. A few presentation projects, but not so bad.

Comment:

He is a tough grader and expects good quality of work. I took his online class and that consisted of weekly tests, small essays, media responses, and something similar to a research paper. The only great thing about his online class is that there is NO FINAL! This class can be easy if you are willing to read and put the effort in the work.

1-3 assignments/week (typically a response to an article/the book/YouTube vid and b/w 300-500 words). That being said, you REALLY have to read and give a thoughtful response or he'll deduct points. Quick to respond to emails, class isn't hard you just have to read.

Comment:

It's a 100 pt class (20 pts for essays, 20 pts for media responses, 50 pts for quizzes, 10 pts for a paper). A lot of reading in this class that you do weekly to help you with the essay and quizzes. Media response- you watch 4 vids and write about them. 10 pt paper, you review a journal article. He rlly makes an effort to help you.

Amazing Professor, the way he teaches urban studies is extremely interesting. He will show short films, and books on the material. His grading is fair, One group presentation, 3 online short essay responses, and 5 pop quizzes. Never a dull moment with Professor Willey!

Amazing Professor, the topic is very interesting and the way he teaches and presents materials makes it easy to learn. You do have to do some writing, however he is easy and wants you to succeeded and to understand the work, so he will help you along! Gets you thinking about community and your city as a place and space!

BEST PROFESSOR AT CSUN!!!! no midterms no finals. your grades are based on points. Easy A class as long as you read, participate, and attend class. don't take the class if you don't like to read. your grade pop quizzes (5 or 6), attendance, participation, group project, and paper. gives a lot of extra credit.

Comment:

One of the funniest professors I will probably ever have. EASY class as long as you READ THE TEXTBOOK because of the pop quizzes (we only had about 5 or 6). You'll always know your grade because all you do is add up your point total. There is one journal review paper, but it was only about 4 pages long. Easiest A ever.

He's freaking awesome! You always know what your grade is because all you have to do is add up how many points you earn. There's no midterm or final, only some pop quizzes, 1 journal article review, and a group presentation. He offers a lot of extra credit and lets you use any notes that you've taken. He makes class funny and interesting.

He's really cool. Keeps you interested and likes to crack a lot of jokes. Always really happy and willing to help if you need it. Grades are based on quizes, 1 presentation, and 1 paper. It's not a class you would dread going to.
