Comment:

this is the WEIRDEST man I have ever met in my entire life.. he is very unclear in his lessons but if one does not walk away with an A... well u get me. He is soooo easy and u don't even have to pay attention. Come on all the athletes are in the class....

Comment:

This professor is an odd and boring. He took 20 minutes to take roll--but if you missed your name he would count you absent. Make friends in the class and pay attention on review days--just show up all other days

Comment:

This class is very interesting and fun. He tells tales of his life which are totally funny! He is constantly worried about someone kicking his ass! If you can, take this professor! He tells you what will be on the tests, and gives you easy ways to earn extra credit points.

Very boring class and weird professor. Felt like a history class and not sociology, if you are looking for an easy A just make sure you show up to class and do the extra credit assignments.

Comment:

Very easy...just come to class and take the notes and actually study before the tests. Really truly do not need the book...even if he makes a little rant about A students buy the book. I have an A and have not used it once so you really do not need it. Three tests..all multiple choice. Takes attendence.

not an easy A but easy B. two tests and final are only grades. spends decent amount of time on attendance and goes off on tangents, not good if u want to learn indepth socy or ur a bad testtaker.

Everyone says this class is easy but I find that its not as easy as everyone says I mean I am making a B but to hear everyone talk you would think it is a super easy A plus...he is wacko...funny at times but very odd.

Comment:

Ek is CRAZY. very entertaining guy. tests are straight from notes - don't buy book. he's fun, old, and nutty. an easy A. attendace is mandatory. be in class "before the bell rings" or you'll be late, too. that's the only bad part.

Comment:

Easy class, just show up and you'll do fine. Ek is very funny in class, possibly boarderline crazy at times. Somehow he makes the most boring stuff interesting. Take Ek if at all possible.
