Comment:

Man, this guy is wild... He gets in your personal business, I kinda like it though. His lectures are nice, kinda boring. He knows A LOT of people who do drugs, but that's okay. His test and quiz questions are very broad and no matter what you study, you are not very prepared. His quizzes in the library aren't very similar either. idk how to feel..

Professor Beaver is an amazing professor. His lectures are super intriguing and easy to follow. His tests are a little hard, but as long as you read from the book and study your notes, you should be fine. I would absolutely take him again.

He makes up his own quiz and test questions and they are the most indirect and broad questions you'll ever experience. 3 T/F quizzes and 3 exams. Basically got C's on all the quizzes (I'm not a C student) and barely got B's on the exams. Interesting class, but painful quizzes and exams.

Very good lecturer, however I didn't learn all too much because of the lack of home work and projects. Sociology can be one of the most involved classes there is so I was somewhat disapointed

Comment:

Some topics he discussed were interesting; but there seemed to be a lack of curriculum and he didn't seem to be engaged with the class. A lot of reading, but little homework. The one somewhat helpful thing he provides is an old test answer keys that are available in the library.

He's a very helpful teacher. Puts in his two cents' worth, and has a lot of good personal experience to help make some points clear. Tests and quizzes weren't bad. He even has older versions in the library for you to study from. Definitely recommend!

Comment:

A great teacher. He is very experienced in his field. He has all the notes on the board before class. During class he tells stories relevant to the information. The stories really stick and become useful on the test. The tests were somewhat difficult. Def a teacher that cares about his students.

He gives you all the information you need to know, but you still have to read the book. Gives very hard tests, but quizzes are easy. Also, he says "you follow me" after every sentence and has some good jokes.

Comment:

Good teacher. Never hard to pay attention- keeps it interesting and tells jokes. Only had three quizzes and two exams. Got to study hard for both, but as long as you put some time into looking over notes, you'll get a great grade. If you don't remember well at all, avoid. Otherwise, take him.

Comment:

Class was interesting. I was able to pay attention everyday. Beaver is nice and not boring but his tests are pretty hard. I would recommend him if his tests were not so hard but because they are, I would try to take another teacher for Sociology if you want a good grade.

I enjoyed professor Beaver. He's a nice guy and has a lot of knowledge on the topic. The tests can be a little bit hard though. He can be a little strange in class but he's also really nice.

Comment:

Kind of rude and shovanistic. Knows a lot about the subject but doesnt egage in discussions. Discussion question will be asked, answer will be given, answer will be ignored. Very black and white that way. Tests are way tough even if you study. His crime class WILL bring your GPA down. I wouldnt recommend.

Don't sit in the front or he'll be all over you. Personally I didn't think he was as bad as some people say he is.
