Awesome professor! Didnt need his textbook. He gives PowerPoints on any subject he will put on the tests. His tests are simple. No homeworks, a lot of extra credit opportunities. I enjoyed this class.

Comment:

Trachman was a great prof, he's very straight forward and to the point. Only 3 exams and a few extra credit quizzes worth 3 points. Tests are basically his powerpoints thats you write down, just worded differently. You do miss crucial things if you skip class. He was awesome.

Only 3 exams for the semester. Doesn't give any homework. He sends you a review sheet about 2 weeks before an exam. Also gives extra credit quizzes that will help you on your exam. He tells jokes here & there to make the class fun.

Professor Trachmans l class was easy. Would of did better if I studied for the second test. The class is heavily lectured based, he does not review his notes, but he was slides were clear and simple. He gives extra credit, all of his tests were based on lecture notes. No HW, he also gives review sheets before the tests and goes over them in class

I had him last semester and hands down , one of the best professors !!!! He is so straight forward and he has AMAZING lectures. I love his use of power points and how organized he is with them, my notes always made sense to me when looking back. He also provides great study guides. No homework , just 3 exams. He's amazing, take him!

Comment:

Sociology 101, I didn't need textbook - his lectures are extremely comprehensive. His tests are very straightforward and entirely based on the lecture. If you have difficulty with the lecture, then you will have to read. He is very clear though. He doesn't like lateness.

Comment:

He is a really nice guy however I do not like the way he does his tests since we only have 3 throughout the entire semester. I was not happy about my grade in this class because even when studied I didn't do my best. I would not recommend him. He needs to add an assignment so it wont be based on tests. He isn't the worst but this should be an easyA

LOVED Dr. Trachman! Hes super clear, and makes the class interesting. He cares about what students have to say, so definitely participate. Hes kind of OCD so just be careful about being late or leaving the room. His tests are very clear and if you don't understand something hes happy to help. I would absolutely recommend this class

Professor Trachman is great. He's always prompt, very kind, answers every question.. basically the perfect professor. His ONLY FLAW is that he grades incredibly hard! He really wants one to go in depth, further explain everything. PS all his exams are essays. No MCs or Fill-ins.. ALL 5 QUESTIONS ESSAY EXAMS.
