Great professor. He was one of the reasons why I decided to pursue a doctorate in sociology. Sad to see he retired.

Best class ever. Easily one of the best professors. There is reading due every class, but it's no more than 5 pages to read. Gives out extra points. Goes over what will be on the test. Makes an 8am enjoyable. Highly recommend. Wish I could have him for all my classes.

He's a funny guy, hard to follow bc sometimes things (what you do in class) change....i didnt learn much, but make sure you go to the classes when you know there are in class assgnmts. only 2 tests. Willing to help you if you go to him. If not, he probably wont care about your grade either. He's cool though.

Polk is awesome. He is so..funny. He makes research easier to understand. He tells you exactly what he expects in class & on test. Extra points available to help grade. Take good notes for his tests & study & get a good grade. I am taking him again & would recommend anyone to take him. One of YCP best professors.. All professors should be like him.

Polk is awesome. very good, entertaining class, made it bearable having to be in class at 8am. All for the "V". lol go to class, do your assignments and you can get a relatively easy A. Wish I would have had more classes with him.

Excellent Prof. Makes sure you understand what he's teaching, very personable. Keeps you almost the entire 3 hours, but it actually pays off when you go to study for the tests. Great man all around. "...****s & Hoes" lol

awesome teacher! One of my all time favorites, I feel sorry for those who don't get to experience his classes. Tests can be hard but well worth it for the hysterical class discussions and assignments. First assignment is to do something deviant:)
