Comment:

Schools and society online class- Easiest class I have EVER had at Stockton. Quizzes are a piece of cake and all you have to do is answer some discussion posts here and there. The leniency with due dates is awesome as well. Such an easy A, but also definitely learned a lot.

Comment:

Horrible professor, no idea what he is doing. Gives unclear assignments and an unnecessary 25 page paper along with a 30 minute YouTube video you must create yourself. He never helps you when you ask for it and is a horrible grader. Does not know what he is doing, disrespectful, rude, and should NOT be a professor.

Comment:

Thought this would be an easy online class about my family, but have been left with the stress of trying to write a 25 page paper with no guidelines. He basically throws you into blackboard & you have to figure out everything on your own. 25 pages is drastic when he doesn't say what type of topics should be included in it, making it hard to stretch

Comment:

Took this course to fulfill a SOBL requirement, and it is not worth the stress. There is no book, he wants you to binge watch a 10 hr video and a 25 page paper with no guidelines or outlines. I thought the work throughout the course would come together to make a portfolio of some sort, but was wrong. The syllabus is useless in explaining things.

Comment:

You are all on your own when it comes to this class. The directions are very vague and you are left wondering what to do. There are not tests or quizzes, just a 25 page paper due at the end of the semester on your family. You also have to upload interview videos onto youtube.

Comment:

Not sure why an online sports in society class must be this difficult. Plan on reading the book front to back. Quizzes every week, 20 questions in 30 mins, which is not enough time unless you've read more than half the 30+ page chapter. Midterm and Final very hard, doesn't answer e-mail, doesn't care and doesn't try to make it seem like he cares.

I took his Schools and Society online class and it was the easiest online class you could ever take! His quizzes are made from his book and chapter outlines, most of the time they're truefalse (most of the answers being true because he doesn't like false statements). I highly recommend his class. Easy A.

The online class is easy but the teacher does not communicate with you and if you have a question, then your on your own. He is pretty rude and and does not answer any emails.

Easiest online class I've taken. One book needed. Assignments are bi-weekly. One week you look at a chapter title & write 3 paragraphs of what you think will be discussed. The next week you read (I didn't) take a quiz Tf most answers are TRUE, and then further research a topic from the chapter & write 3 paragraphs cited. Midtermfinal all tf

Took Acting as a Living Art as my GAH. I love acting and he was very wise about it, I enjoyed every class and he has so much experience in life that gave me insight on my own life. Don't take this class if you don't like talking in front of people, but if you do then take him, i loved it!

Comment:

Professor Smith is probably one of the last of the great professors. Old School. Been in the game 40+ years. Talks about himself, and uses personal experiences all the time. A WEALTH of knowledge about surviving in this world. It might seem pointless, but LISTEN and you will learn something they dont teach anymore.

I Had him for an online sports and society class. Poor communication with class. I tried asking for help and took a month for him to respond. I eventually dropped the course because was not worth the time and effort to get a bad grade. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Comment:

Speaking for life was really easy, if you don't mind getting up infront of a class talking about very intimate details of your life. The Prof. on the other hand is nice, but does nothing but talk about himself. He rambles about something trying to teach a lesson and you just sit there wondering what he is talking about. Interesting class...
