My first online class and it was great! He is super straightforward with what he wants and his modules were very doable. Never had a problem with him at all. There are a few extra credit opportunities, but I didnt need to do them.

Comment:

As a in class teacher He relies on youtube videos to explain all the context of the class material. He takes three class periods to go over one short power point. One week of class he showed the same video three times. Also before a big test he taught a new theory that would be tested on. Not recommended for someone who needs an active teacher

Don't get book, you won't need it ( I didn't use it once), gives 2 extra credit opportunities, can easily take the class in 2 weeks if you work ahead. Just post in forums and reply to 3 students. He takes forever to grade your papers, or to email you back, so make sure you communicate with your classmates. Easy A, if you just TRY!

12 quizzes, 3 test, 200Q final, and weekly post, that's it! Easy A. Just don't question him on your discussion post grade, he's ego gets hurt and will give you an even lower grade on your next post. Just let it go! Make sure you answer to 3 students on the forums and post your own discussion, and you will be golden! Quizzes are easy and test too!

I took his online class during the summer and it was easy. Every week was basically just a discussion board and quiz. Everything we learned was interesting too. He also had a lot of extra credit opportunities which was really helpful. Tests always had repeat questions from quizzes. Overall amazing teacher and good online class for credits!

I took his online class and it was a breeze. As long as you participate in the discussion boards and do the HW/quizzes you should be fine. I didn't have the need to communicate with him so I can't elaborate on that but his directions were very clear and to the point. It was a very stress free class.

The class was so easy. As long as you skim the textbook you'll do fine on the tests. He gives full credit for all discussions as long as you do the discussion. No papers or essays; class consists of quizzes, tests, and discussions. Quizzes have unlimited time, but tests every 4 or so chapters have a 2 hour limit. Overall, super easy A.

This teacher gave a lot of reading assignments that were difficult to keep up with. The tests and quizzes were not in the book. Would never take this class again. If you take this class be prepared to not be able to find the answers.

Comment:

The actual class(online Sociology) was easy, if you do the extra credit and turn everything in on time you are good. He responds in a timely manner to questions but seems to get offended. When he responded to my questions it felt condescending and most of the time the answers were unhelpful. All in all easy class, not very nice or helpful teacher

Comment:

Super easy A, especially for an online class. Very straightforward, one quiz a week and a test that resembles the quizzes every 4 chapters. All quizzes and tests were posted at the start so you could technically do it all in 2 weeks if you wanted. Did offer extra credit, but my grade came to 102% w/ it and he refused to give the A+.

The class was interesting, but not my favorite. There are quizzes just about every week, and you can see what you missed after you took it. The three 25-point extra credit discussions were simple and helped my grade tremendously. I would recommend this class for someone who just wants to pass. Some quiz questions are recycled on the exams, too.

Have a quiz and 4 discussion posts each week. One midterm and one final. While discussion posts has to be thorough, they are pretty simple if you understand the material. 3 chances for extra credit at 25 points each, which helps greatly. Easy A as long as you do all the assignments. Was a bit of a hard class but enjoyed it and passed. Organized.

He is amazing! I took the class as an intersession class and its a lot of work but as long as you do the online work you'll be fine. He gives a lot of extra credit too which is really helpful. TAKE HIS CLASS! Its easy and fast.

Took this class online thinking it was gonna be really hard. As long as you participate in the forums, and get at least an 80% on the tests, you will be fine and pass. A lot of reading. Not that bad though

Comment:

This instructor thinks every student in his class has a bachelor in sociology.I had devoured the textbook, but just 60-70% of questions were from it.Instead, he brings questions from Norc college, SDSU, CNN, News, and Tele-Sur, and he expects his students to be in picture of all of them!!!!!!!!!!This class may be easyyyy for those who have had que
