He is a great professor, he is very knowledgeable and his lectures are very interesting. He gives study guides for his tests, as long as you really take your time to really study you will pass.

Comment:

Dr. Price is the best of the best. He picks up on who participates and is big into group work and class discussions. The tests are exactly what is on the study guides. He also gives extra credit sometimes on the tests and an extra credit project. Very little homework or effort besides the tests and his criteria is clear. Definitely recommend.

Comment:

Prof. Price is a great man. He was organized, and although his tests were tricky, he was very nice and always understanding. He encouraged class discussion and didn't judge anyone's opinion, making it a safe environment to share. We had a few short written assignments, and we had to read the textbook, but it was very doable.

Comment:

Signed up for an honors soc class unbeknownst to me. Was expecting it to be difficult but it was actually quite easy. As long as you show up, do the work that's assigned and do decent on the exams, you should pass. There wasn't a bunch of papers to write like another review stated. Prof Price is great at making you think from different perspectives

Comment:

If you do not like writing papers DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I personally love writing and I think the writing assignments given were very helpful to further understand the material. He gives full credit as long as you include everything on the rubric. Theres at least 2 discussions a week plus 2 papers. The book isnt necessary but helpful.

Comment:

Professor price assigned A LOT of work. He would give full credit on the homework but for projects he would never give the full credit, nothing was good enough for him! I would message him prior to the due date to ask how I could get full credit on the projects and he said I cant predict your grade I still got an A though.

His online class assignments are ridiculously excessive and the course material basically just alternates between common sense and senselessness, an unnecessary headache and literally my worst college course so far.

Comment:

This online class was difficult. There was so much work due every week it was ridiculous. I also felt like I was taking a web design class for some of the assignments. He doesn't respond to some questions you ask and when he says something is wrong with your assignment and you ask him to clarify what he means by that he doesn't clarify anything.

Comment:

If you are a Latino please don't take this class because you would not pass. I did all the paper work I was never absent and I got extra credit when people was absent and she still not pass me. I am very upset because I was there the whole time and she is not giving me a clear explanation why I did not pass if I did everything.

Dr. Price is an excellent professor. He was very understanding of students circumstances and made accommodations accordingly. You just have to talk to him,he's very approachable and friendly. There is some group work but it's actually beneficial towards certain assignments. His study guides are great too and he reviews them before each exam! EC Too

Amazing teacher! I would really recommend Dr. Price!! He makes class very interesting. He only has three Exams during the whole semester and he gives his students a study guide for his exam. Study and you'll pass his class.

I enjoyed Dr. Price's class. He has more of a discussion type lecture than powerpoint/notes, but you do have to do a lot of textbook reading on your own time to do well on his exams. 3 exams total, 2 papers, and 1 final project. He's tough grader on papers, but his study guides are pretty similar to the actual exam. Take advantage of extra credit!

He is a tough grader but if you do all your work on time you will be fine. Just follow the rubric and pay attention to due dates.

Comment:

I took the 8 week course and it was multiple writing assignments every weeks. He is also a tough grader. I had an A almost the entire course and I dropped down to a C the 2nd to last week because of the projects he assigned. The textbook is required but I never got it and I was fine. It had nothing to do with my grade dropping.

He is an amazing Professor! I enjoyed his lectures. He makes his study guides as he makes his tests so you will have a good idea on how his tests will look. If you do the homework and pay attention, you have a good chance of getting an A!

Comment:

Unclear, inaccessible, and lazy. His grading criteria was not clear resulting in me doing the projects wrong. When I asked for help he either took too long to respond or told me to figure it out. He did not seem passionate about sociology, relied on softchalk lessons to teach us. His projects were outdated. The textbook only covers basic ideas.

Mr. Paul C Price was my Professor in Black Sociology, Black Psychology and Black History at Pasadena City College in their Pan African Studies Curriculum in 1987 and 1993 he helped to shape and narrate my views of my heritage and who I have become as an Afrikan in America so much to be thankful for for laying out the framework of Black Studies!
