Honestly the best professor at Kutztown. I would switch my major to sociology if I could take him for every single course. Genuinley the best part about Kutztown. Had him for both SOC10 and SOC245, if his class is filled just email. Looking forward to taking another one of his classes next semester too. I enjoyed going to his classes so much!

Literally the easiest A I've ever gotten. If you buy the book and read the chapters, you don't have to go to class. However, he's really funny and generally a cool guy, so I'd suggest going anyway.

Best prof on campus, i took SOC10 just for a gen-ed and it was my favorite class all semester. He's really smart and knows what he is talking about, but also funny. He has lots of funny stories to go along with his lectures, and he is open about cursing which he does a lot. Theres only 4 tests online and they're super easy. TOTALLY RECOMMEND

Super easy teacher. Just go to class and take notes. All his test are online. The only problem is that you take 5 tests, the lowest one is dropped, and the average of the other 4 is your grade.

O'Boyle is a great professor. If you like learning without the stress of paper and anxiety of tests, he is a great professor. There are five exams but he drops the lowest one, and he emphasizes everything that will be on exams. The exams are online.

Dr Timothy Oboyle is just a great lecture giver. His speeches in class are absolutly "outta pocket" but extremely funny and relatable. His principles of sociology is an extremly easly class. One dose not have to come to the class much at all. The book isn't needed and the tests are extremely easy.

Professor Timothy Oboyle, is an amazing professor. He makes class lectures fun, he tells you everything you need to know for the exams. His class is an easy A, as long as you have the note for the exams their is no way you couldn't pass his class.

I skipped class for 34 of the semester and still walked away with an A. All of the tests are online and completely open note. Everything can be found on quizlet. Also, if you do well on all the exams throughout the semester, you're exempt from the final exam. EASY class to fulfill a gen ed requirement!

if you are taking his online class don't listen to ANYTHING listed above. You HAVE to read and study hard because his exams are NOT easy and they are NOT posted on quizlet or online at all. Found that out the hard way.

This dude is the man. I went to the first two classes and realized I do not even have to go. The only four grades you get are all exams and all the answers to the exams are on quizlet. I actually forgot to do an exam one time and the exam period was over and I emailed him and he let me choose when it was best for me to take the exam. He is a boss!

Oboyle is not only a fantastic professor but he is a fantastic person as well. Show up to class and take notes for a guaranteed A. Seriously do yourself a favor and take this class. PS. Only buy the book if you plan on not going to class. I bought it and never opened it.

Comment:

He's really sharp and at the same time he has a plain-spoken working class style that everyone can understand. Unlike some of the other big lecture classes he really cares about you and your learning. He's also humorous. His class changed the way I think about life, which is to say it added a lot.

Comment:

I took as an elective, only hard part about this online class is making sure you are self diciplined to do the reading. Every week we have a test on two chapters. There are two discussion posts consisting of your own post and a reply on another students. 4 easy 100s. There are five exams each worth 100 points. lowest exam is dropped. easy A
