When you are dealiing with issues such as we discussed in class, it takes a special professor to do this and he was awesome. I learned so much from this course and I think everyone should take it.

He uses the textbook that he wrote. I really find that egotistical.

Comment:

I do Not like him at all. He has weekly home quizzes with a word limit and trust me you do not want to go over it by more than 2 words. He acts as though his job is to take away points rather than give them. class is Very boring and he does Not like other people's opinions that dont agree with his.. Dont take this class...

Comment:

I took his race and ethnic relations class. Umm sort of arrogant, but open to the opinions of others in class. You get a cheat sheet on exams, which aren't even that hard, but he is a hard grader on exams. Weekly take-home quizzes--cake walk. Also, WORD LIMIT. OBEY IT. I learned a lot, and I recommend his class.

Comment:

VERY easy class. Do the work and it's very easy. The first exam was hard I got a C but still ended up with an A in the class by doing the rest of the work. The last exam he basically told us what was on it, and you get to take a cheat sheet into your exams. Sometimes boring, but attendance isn't mandatory unless your turning something in. TAKE HIM!

Since it was a graduate course, the lectures were mostly a discussion. Dr. Pincus' insights were always appreciated and he is an extremely smart man.

Comment:

unless you're so far to the left you will not get anything out of this class. Opinions were not welcome in class unless they agreed with him. His personal views hindered his teaching. You were allowed a cheat sheet on tests but questions were so in depth that unless you spent hours on a single reading you wouldn't have a clue what he was asking.

Comment:

the class isn't too hard as long as you keep on top of your readings. Beware of his tests, they go VERY in depth into individual readings. A lot of work, but I learned a lot from this class.

Comment:

If you are a white male, prepare to be hated. His liberal attitudes and opinions are shown throughout this class. I am a white male and I felt they were bashing on me the whole time because apparently I oppress everyone. The co-teacher doesn't have a clue what shes doing either, always nodding her head and agreeing with totally opposite things.

Comment:

I thought this class would be bad, but it was very pleasant. He wasn't boring, he was friendly. 2 exams and an optional paper, pts for posting on disc board and turning in take home quizzes(7). Discussion based class, interesting subject, everyone can relate to education. I learned a lot. Go over notes before tests, know order theory from conflict

Comment:

Do not take a class with this man if you have opinions of your own. They are not welcome in his discussions, and both he and his co-teacher make it obvious. The best way to get through his class is to swallow your pride and blindly agree with everything he says.

Comment:

Horrible professor. In fact, the worse I've ever had. Perhaps, if you're absent-minded idiot, his lectures sound like they have content, but otherwise, you'll find him boring and irrelevant. He's easy, but perfectly willing to punish people who aren't impressed by his grade-school material.

I had him for psychology of culture or something like that. VERY boring class. I skipped the final and still got an A. The only thing I learned was about sexual practices of different cultures. I rarely went to class.

Comment:

GREAT CLASS! discussion based, but a good deal of reading as well. he's very chill and easy going. if you keep up w/ the reading and participate in class, you'll enjoy it more and you'll get the A! (so generally easy A class that you'll like)
