Comment:

Took this during the summer. Made us write a paper a week with a rough draft and final draft. Had to peer edit a couple papers for credit. Let you write about anything you wanted. Easy prompts. You need the book for the tests he gives on the reading. Do the reading its for the test. However, the reading was insightful.

I took him online and it was great he made theory easy. If you watch the lectures every week and you understand them then there is no reason you should get lower than an A. He gave a lot of extra credit points as well.

Everyone on here will say that he is an easy teacher and I wholeheartedly agree hence the A+ I just received. Take this class 100% don't even think about not doing it, and do it in person too. Here's the catch if the class doesn't talk you'll hate his class and if you have an opinion, you'll hate the class too because he will discredit you. Be wary

Professor Emery is the only teacher you should take for Soc 410. I took this class online and he made theories so approachable. There is lots of extra credit and plenty of work to get a decent grade in the class. Show interest and try. You will do great.

Comment:

Emery is wonderful. He knows what he teaches and he does it well. Unfortunately we just had a lot of jerks in the class who never participated and I felt like he got discouraged. Anyway, he gives so much extra credit it's gotta be impossible not to pass. His notes are great and his tests aren't tough. Take him if you're serious about theory.

SOCI 371 online winter session.. I must say this is the easiest class ever. A lot to do within this short course, but all work provided was a reasonable and very easy. every time he messes up or confuses us.. we receive 5 points in extra credit.. received 50+ points in XC. Dont know how moronic you would have to be to fail this class..

Best professor. Clear promts and assignments. have taken him for various courses and continue to take him! TONS of extra credit, cancelles class on occasion, likes to make jokes and engage with his students. not much textbook use on my behalf and only really skimmed through book. quizes and tests can be tricky but not that bad. Nothing but A's!

Professor Emery is the ONLY professor you should consider for SOC 410. He gave SO much extra credit! There were many (easy) opportunities to get extra credit. It's nice to see Professors who teach effectively but also give students a break to help us out. He is extremely understanding, approachable, and fair. Take him and no one else!

Took his class online. He gives extra credit for absolutely everything. Compared to the other SOC online classes he gives a ton of work, however it is all super easy no-brainer work. Spend about 3 hours max listening to lectures/doing assignments. I got a 97% in the class, even after failing the final. Do the extra credit...it matters in the end!

Comment:

I recommend taking this class online. He provides recordings which I suggest printing out the power point and making notes. Dont wait to the end to do all the tests. Discussion boards are weekly. The movies we watch fit really well with the topic and are wonderful to watch. I did not read the reader but it's helpful for quotes on tests.

Such a breath of fresh air. Been in school 8 years and he is the first to give really good feedback on assignments and answers your questions. Love it! Also, the assignments require excellent feedback from classmates. Really invaluable comments that are so appreciated. I am learning so much in his class. It's exciting!

He's a great professor! He provides audio lectures and power points to help understand the theories. The workload is divided into weekly sections. It is not so bad if you stay on schedule. He is very helpful. He gives quite a bit of extra credit. Easy A if you complete all the assignments.

I took this class online . This class was super easy. His lecture are not the most interesting & at times a little boring.If you just listen to his lectures and do the work there is no way you shouldn't get an A in the class. He also gives extra credit for every little thing. When he messes up he will give you 10 extra credit points.

Super helpful, gives extra credit. Test questions straight from PPNT and audio, little bit of text. Not hard to get an A if you just do the assignments & skim chapters. Lots to be learned here if interested. Taking him again for intersession 410.
