I PROMISE THIS IS THE EASIEST A YOU WILL TAKE. Tests are on lockdown but you literally will get A's on every single one because they're word for word from the pre-quizzes. Attendance is not mandatory ever which is good because I attended the lectures at the beginning of the semester and they're a total waste of time.

It's an easy A. You don't even need to show up to lectures because his tests are basically questions from his quizzes. There's also a project that's really easy and gives extra credit if turned in early. Also his quizzes can be taken an unlimited amount of time to study for the test.

Was definitely the easiest class in my otherwise difficult schedule. don't really need to show up to lectures to understand the material. The whole class is graded off quizzes given throughout the semester (that you have unlimited tries on) and 4 exams. There is also a project that, if done early, you can gain quite a few extra credit points on.

Comment:

If you actually want to learn anything from this do not take this class. If you're looking for a super easy A, take it. I stopped going to the lectures after the first test, and all I did to study was memorize the quizzes because it's the same questions on the tests and ended with a 102%. I didn't retain anything and he is the most boring teacher.

I had his class last semester remotely, and I barley went to class. He lectures but they were kind of all over the place so I just studied his weekly quizzes. All you have to do to get an A in this class is take those quizzes and memorize every question... there's your test. He's a funny guy and definitely does care about Sociology.

Dr. Adams is a great person; however, his lectures were very bland and drawn out. He likes to ramble a lot. I went to lecture the first month and then stopped and did fine. If you read the textbook and take the quizzes, you are set for an A. His class was not hard, and the content is fun and interesting.

Doug is awesome! He is so nice and you can tell he really cares about his students and Sociology. Although my class was remote delivery with him I knew that if I ever needed anything he would be understanding. I was I could've had his class in person 10/10 recommend.

Professor Adams is one of the chillest professors ever. Literally all you have to do is study his quizzes he posts (which you can take an unlimited amount of times) and they're the exact questions on his tests. Easy A.

Hard to properly rate when I barely went to his class. His lectures weren't the best, but you could take the quizzes as many times as you want and the exams were just questions from the quizzes. Probably spent 10 hours max on this class over the whole semester, easiest A.

Adams is a nice man who knows what hes talking about. The thing is he rambles on quite a bit in his lectures. But class is optional so most people dont go. Pretty easy class if you read the powerpoints and use socratic.

By far the weirdest professor Ive ever had, super awkward and mumbles during lectures. I had emailed him asking about extra credit as I had an 89.3 and he just responded with No. I recommend finding another processor if you actually want to feel engaged in lecture and want someone that the other students also respect.

Really easy class, but felt pretty self taught. The in class lectures got off topic frequently so it's easier to just teach it to yourself. If there was a book I never used it. Exams pull almost all the questions from the quizzes. There were a ton of extra credit opportunities. Seemed like a nice guy but the class was giant so I never met him.

Adams is a super nice guy and I didn't mind this class because it was really easy. I would recommend this course if you want an easy A and need to take another basic. I would not recommend it if you are looking to be challenged. Overall, I enjoyed how much he cares about his students, but I wouldn't have the attention span to take him again.

Attendance is non mandatory, yet he knows faces so if you ever need anything he is more likely to help the people he recognizes who attend his class. Super nice dude, just take the practice quizzes he provides and you will for sure get an A.

I took this class this semester and it was very easy. I showed up only for test days. If you take the quizzes multiple times before a test then you'll do fine on tests. He also offers a lot of extra credit so its an easy A class.

The class is extremely easy but is very self-taught. The lectures are long and boring, rarely cover the full material needed for the exams. However, the quiz questions are identical to the exam questions and can be retaken an infinite amount of times. Very good for studying. Also tons of bonus points offered throughout the semester.

As long as you read the textbook and use the online quizzes to your advantage, you'll be fine. I went to class maybe 5 times throughout the whole semester and didn't get below an A on any of the tests. online quizzes are the exact test questions and there is A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT. you would honestly have to try and fail this class honestly.

Get ready to teach yourself and get a tutor. The only thing that is saving my grade is extra credit. He is a very nice guy but the lectures are not helpful for the test and quizzes.

I took Adams as a freshman, and he made me look forward to going to class. I am a business major, and I took sociology because it seemed interesting. He is entertaining, an easy grader, and overall a super chill dude. You have unlimited retakes on the chapter quizzes, and he hands out extra credit like a person giving out free samples at walmart.
