Comment:

I loved this professor! Really funny guy and really lenient if you need anything - always accessible and there to help you. However, since you are graded solely on a midterm and final, make sure to read the book and attending lectures may help. The exams are not hard if you understood the reading to make sure to read and take notes on the articles

Basically the only thing you'll need is the $30 book of readings he assigns; the midterm and final will be on the readings. In the middle of the pandemic we transitioned to online, and he has been the most understanding prof throughout this. Legit told us dont worry about your grade, the most important thing right now is simply staying alive.

Comment:

This class was honestly such a drag to show up to. He gives three tests, each with review sheets that are going to be the questions, word for word. He does give one or two questions on each test about things that happened in class, so make sure you go if you want an A. Wording for answers is also oddly specific so go to class for that too.

Comment:

The SOC101 was not a bad experience for me. He gives 3 exams (ALL) which are based on the readings. The reading list which is only 25 dollars is the most important thing in the class and he will let you know that. If you participate, read and annotate the readings you will pass.

Comment:

You have to buy a $25 book of readings. He only grades on the midterm and final, which require a lot of memorization. He does provide review sheets before the test, but some questions on the exams are specific points he only mentions in his lectures. Just write down everything he says, writes down or shows you (videos) and memorize titles and names

Comment:

The class was quite helpful for learning current issues in society as we read many articles for homework and discuss them in lecture. Make sure you read in order to do well in the class (buy the reader at the beginning of the class!), come to lecture, and complete the review sheets so that you know what's going to be on the midterm and final.

Comment:

I would definitely recommend professor Levine to all my friends as he is very patient and always ready to help students after class. He is very passionate about this subject and takes time to thoroughly explain the topics. If you come to class regularly and pay attention to the lectures, you'll be fine.

Comment:

You really just don't need to show up to class... He hands out sheets in the last 2-3 classes that are reviews for the test, and those are the test, word for word. Sometimes he'll ask a question or two based on the lectures. If you want to go just for those, then do it. Otherwise, it's fine. He just enjoys hearing himself talk.

Proffesor Levine, is an excellent proffesor with clear grading criteria. His lectures are very helpful for understanding the readings. He chooses topics that are both important and intersting. He makes lots of jokes to both help students stay interested and motivated.

Comment:

If you have him in a lecture hall, you will be reading 40+ articles. There are only 2 test and YES these are the only things you will be graded on; the mid-term and the final. If you can't live by that then don't take the class. Prof Levine likes to make jokes and have a bit of fun during his lectures and he is open to talking to you after class.

Comment:

if you are looking to major in anything related to sociology. don't take him. we learn about articles that have legit nothing to do with sociology and just read things HE finds interesting, again, that don't relate to sociology.

Comment:

Don't take his class. He goes on tangents, does not answer questions at all- he will just rant about something and never answer your specific question, I have walked out of his lectures because he did not discuss anything that was relevant. Make sure you read.

Comment:

If you want an easy A, take this. Levine requires minimal effort, plus literally all he does is go ON AND ON. Most of sociology is common sense anyway, but he has managed to make that BORING. Not really respected, people have got up and left during his class, he doesn't say anything. Doesn't really seem like he cares.

gives 3 non cumulative multiple choice tests fairly easy and just reading articles in this class goes more in depth in lectures. review sheet is really helpful and if you do it you'll pass just read the articles. understanding if you talk to him.

Buy the book and read it, I can assure you it'll be an easy A. I missed a lot of classes and worried I was going to get a bad grade but I ended up with an A-. Attendance isn't mandatory but some of the things he repeats in class, as well as videos shown, are on the exams. Again, read. the. books.

He's a nice guy. Lectures are just fine, a lot of readings, but articles are interesting. Be ready to read and memorize. 3 tests, first one is the hardest. Easy A.

Prof. Levine just talks throughout the semester. Tests and finals are based off readings and lecture for the most part. Easy A if the material is read and understood.
