Comment:
He is the worst teacher I've ever taken. He spends 70 minutes rambling on about how terrible our generation is, then 5 minutes about the hw. The only directions in the reader on the paper assignments are literally stick figure drawings. If you show up to the last 5-10 minutes of class everyday though you'll get a B, though it can be time consuming.

Comment:
If you can follow directions and not over think this class you will get an A. All Prof. Werner wants to do is make sure you can regurgitate his templates, nothing fancy. At first the 18page research paper sounds intimidating, but you build it as you go. There are 2 tests that are straight out of the book, and take advantage of the online study site

Comment:
He is the worst teacher EVER! He is confusing, boring and condescending. He doesn't listen to questions, seems to anticipate your question and gives a useless answer. I gave up trying to learn anything from him and instead just completed the assignments EXACTLY as he instructs. I got a B but I didn't learn anything!!

Comment:
This guy is completely useless. You ask him a question and he yell and argue with you. He makes you buy his Reader, which is completely out of date, then excuses himself by saying he's human - no Prof Werner is just lazy. He will mark you're paper when you're wrong, and when you're right, and also admits to only reading the first half a page.

Comment:
Nice man but extremely boring. EXTREMELY. The homework is time consuming but pretty easy. The final paper is practically all the homework assignments put together so don't be afraid of the 18 page paper. Must read the book because nothing he says makes any sense. The test are very difficult but I got a B+ in the class.

Comment:
The test are a little tricky, but the homework is straight forward. He's not checking for content (as well as the paper) he's checking to make sure you know how to format things the right way. Do that right, you get full credit. The lecture is boring. Not mandatory, BUT he collects HW and passes it out which I think is how he takes attendence

The comments under me are accurate. He is hard. His tests are impossible. I got a 73/100 and was in the top 5 in the class. He curves tests though. Go to class, follow his directions exactly for homework, and do the online quiz at the end of every chapter of the book for the tests. He puts on a tough front, but he is actually nice. I got a B.

Not a hard class. Read the text for the exam, do the hw by the guidelines, and get an A. His lectures aren't the best but just go high and you will laugh. I think it was one of the best classes ive taken in the stuck up **** soc dept. at state.

Comment:
I am sure his attitude towards his guidelines stems from students that think they can BS their way through college. The homework is EASY and it's pretty much a step by step process of the paper. As for exams, DUH U HAVE TO READ THE TEXT TO PASS THE EXAMS, is the info going to magically appear when you look at the exam??? nooo u idiots!!!

This professor/class was not impossible. Do the work he tells you to do, they way he tells you to do it and you'll be fine. Study for his midterm by READING the textbook and taking down the vocab words. By the way, I got an A on the exam without a curve, so get over yourself.

Awful! Hates SDSU, hates the sociology faculty and hates the students. This is one of the worst teachers I have ever had, including the kindergarten lady who put me in the corner! Prepare for a nice nap if you take him.

He's not that bad. Every week you have homework and all you have to do is FOLLOW exactly the templates on his textbooks or examples on the back of the book. But his tests are really hard, no doubt about that. overall, his alright!
