Comment:

He is by far one of the best professors I have taken so far, he shows you the way you can apply what you are learning in class to the outside world. He is also very caring of his students and considerate especially when you talk to him about not being able to complete something. He is not there to make your life harder and makes that very clear.

Comment:

Jeff was very nice and caring. Lots of classes were cancelled as well as labs. We only had to take 3 tests which were online, fairly easy and we could ask him for help with anything. Extremely nice, but I can honestly say I didn't learn anything.

Comment:

Wasn't the best teacher, but all the slides were online so not going to lecture isn't a bad choice. All exams were online with a three week time period to take them and were open note. The big projects were done as a class so you are guaranteed an A. Very cool person, but basically learned nothing.

There are 3 exams, he gives 3-4 weeks to finish them. The 3rd exam is the final. There all on online and opened book. Go to his office hours! He will help you on the exams! 2 powerpoints about gear but thats easy! Hes funny, respectful, and caring about his students. The lectures can be boring/ textbook not needed/ attendance not really important

I've had Davis twice and he is a super cool professor. His class is not too stressful and he is always available to help his students do well in his class. I tell everyone to take his classes to get a good grade but also learn a lot to help throughout sociology and research classes!

Quantitative Methods class is wrapped around a project. You turn in slides, send out surveys, and discuss your findings. He stresses that he is available if we need any help with our projects. Yes if you get stuck just visit him and he will guide you well. He will go out of his way to help students. Great professor.

Amazing professor, I learned how to do quantitative data with ease. Dr Davis loves star wars and he is a great professor, he answers all questions, has a steady pace with the class, and I am really sad my semester with him as my instructor is about to end. Dr Davis is the pinnacle of Sociology professors at CSULB. Do the work and you are solid

Prof Davis is a good teacher to take, he makes the class entertaining and stats less difficult. I would always start my day off right in his class with the energy he gives off. I would recommend any soc majors to take this class- it wasnt too difficult and with the tests being online it was a lot less stressful.

Took him for SOC 355-No tests/quizzes just the one major project that is worked on all semester long. Lecture material isn't the funnest but he tries. I'd suggest to participate in class discussions, he notices.

Awesome professor. I liked his approach of incorporating humor. One of my best memories at CSULB was taking social psychology with him. He covers a lot of of interesting individuals in his course. Such as zimbardo and serial killers.

He is very fun, helpful, and understanding. Definitely one of the best professors i have taken. The lectures are boring due to the subject itself. I definitely recommend him.

He is a really nice guy. I didn't learn much in his class but he is ALWAYS available if you need help. He truly does care about his students. If you take advantage of his office hours, you will definitely get an A.

Davis is a good professor. He really cares about his students. I did however feel as if I didn't learn much in the class. We had class cancelled or class would be optional. He does try to help, if you have any questions he'll do his best to help you understand.

4 online quizzes (72%) & 3 gear projects (28%). Quizzes r hard, use notes & search online. 1st 2 gear projects r given during lab - just follow along as he does them. Last gear project is on ur own or with partner. He helpswants to help u to get it done perfect. (gear projects r a given full credit). Grades will depend on the quizzes dramatically.

Dr. D, he really helped you if you went to office hours, no actual tests but 4 online quizzes that you get a week to do, will extend the due date if you say you need more time. Overall very helpful, best professor i have taken so far. i definitely recommend.
