Comment:

DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He wrote the textbook and has super hard questions for the tests that you cant find in the book. He does not respond to emails and does not have office hours. The tests are the only grades in his class and if you fail them you fail the class. 10/10 worst professor ive ever had.

Comment:

so hard to follow. i'm an A/B honor roll student. his instruction on tests, extra credit, etc are very confusing. constantly going off track, thus confusing lecture with his own opinion. makes you buy the textbook but constantly disregards what the book says, saying the book he wrote is better. very opinionated and condescending. do not take!

Comment:

Hubris! Incredibly close-minded and arrogant fellow. Without a clinical diagnosis I cannot attest that he is a narcissist. However, his lack of basic personal communication and compulsive controlling attitude makes him a very unpleasant person.

DO NOT TAKE ONLINE!! I had to drop this class because I knew I was going to fail. He is very strict about every single little thing and if you don't do it exactly his way, he takes off points.

This professor is easily frustrated and upset. He has a hot temper and sometimes says things he shouldn't. His passion is conveyed poorly and he comes across angry.

Comment:

Have taken several of his courses. If you ever need clarity, just give him a call or stop by his office. He's more than happy to help. Occasionally, the online courses had some confusion, but he would try to correct the issues when addressed. Doesn't require a text in most classes, which is nice. Encourages students to get involved in research.

Comment:

Horrible professor. Rude and extremely opinionated. It does no good to have your own opinion in his class. Actually watched him tell a girl on the back row she was "getting on his nerves" by twirling her hair. Easy class if you can put up with his personality.

Comment:

This professor has poor communication skills and is not clear at all with regards to his instructions or his quizzes. His quizzes are hard as the text says one thing but when you answer it per the text, it shows wrong. The guy needs to come to reality with regards to how to deal with people. You can never get a clear and concise answer from him.

Comment:

I was very interested in sociology before I enrolled with Jedlicka. He was a horrible teacher. He tried to justify how 'American' he is and always told the students how were 'un-educated' and that he would 'have to fail at least half of the class' He is a horrible teacher, I would NOT recommend him to anyone!

Comment:

I had Dr. Jedlicka last semester for an online course. He is a very knowledgable professor, and I found his class very interesting. He does not baby his students. Often individuals were frustrated with him responding to questions with questions that prompted them to figure out the answers on their own.

I agree take the internet. I have heard negative things about his regular classes but had no problems with internet courses. You have to do your work of course but there really isn't that much. tests take questions from your quizzes word for word. i highly recommend him as an online class.

Comment:

I enjoyed the class and felt that his teaching style is what should be expected on the college level. Nonetheless, attendance is mandatory and there will be weekly assignments due online. He is extremely intelligent, possibly explaining why the earlier post claimed him as being "leftist". I finished with an A in the course.

Internet is the way to go !!!! I never had the negative experiences that others have talked about here. Somewhat confusing at times and the "group project" sucked, but an A is an A...

Comment:

omg, this was the worst class. he wrote the book - which isnt a "book" at all, but a cd-rom! his lectures are boring and hard to understand. He talks in cirlces, rambles, and if you ask a question he just starts talking about something and he may or may not answer your question. The class went online after I took it.

Comment:

He is very bent on explaining how "American" he is. He tries to use historical refrenses in class, but he tends to bend them in his favor. He loves talking about how much he knows, but I seriously doubt the things he claims to be "fact." Plus, the required book is written by him. So, you don't get anyone else's opinion. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!
