Definitely take Davidson for this class. He's pretty funny and if you actually pay attention its interesting. 3 test which are half notes half text. The text is actually interesting so it really isn't that bad. He also offers extra credit. Its not hard at all to get an A.

I liked this class a lot, I always went to class and took extensive notes and it made the exams easy. The textbook isn't bad you just have to know the terms. 3 exams and extra credit opportunities. He's a smart guy.

Fairly interesting stuff sometimes. Just go to class and do all the readings from the textbook the day before the exams. The exams are straight forward; its just a matter of if you read the book and went to class or not. He's a good professor who knows his stuff. You can get an A with moderate effort.

Go to class or else you'll study unnecessary information from the book. If you actually pay attention to him you'll learn a lot. I had no real interest in Sociology until I took his class. He's down to earth but don't be late for his class! He WILL call you out- with the silent treatment. Other than that TAKE HIM :) Grades based on exams,2 + Final

He is a really good professor who really knows what he is talking about. His lectures aren't really engaging, but that's impossible with a class of 200 students. If you want a pretty easy grade, take him.

AVOID THIS GUY!!!!! I am shocked that anyone could find him interesting. he is not engaging, and not most certainly not funny (although he tries to be). lectures are incredibly dull and he often goes off on tangents that you cannot follow. 3 exams: read the chapters and you should come out with B. Reread the chapters to study and you'll get an A.

Lectures are very important but not mandatory. Grades are based on just the three exams.

Professor Davidson is a very good professor. As long as you go to his class and read through the assigned readings, you should do well in this class. His tests are fair and the questions will be familiar if you do what is asked of you. I would highly recommend taking him for this class!

LOVED his class. I liked the way he presented the information, and even though he can be monotone, he explains everything thoroughly and makes it interesting. If you go to class and take good notes, most likely can get an A.

GREAT professor. You really have to go to class in order to do well on the tests although attendance is not mandatory. If you studied, went to class and did the reading then you'll do well on the tests. He also gives extra credit which adds 6 points to one of your tests. One of my favorite professors i've ever had hands down

Pretty easy class/teacher. He tries to make his lectures sound like they're harder than they really are. You don't need to go to class to get a good grade, just read the textbook. You also have 3 opportunities for extra-credit.

The class was very interesting. He is very easy to understand and a very good professor. The textbook was really helpful and the tests were not very hard if you study. He offers volunteer opportunities for extra points! Definitely take him!!

BEST CLASS I EVER TOOK AT UD. The material was interesting and Davidson's examples made it easy to understand. The textbook is important to read but he uses a good one so its not too bad. He is funny, smart, and helpful. This class helped me go from undeclared to a sociology major. I recommend everyone takes a class with him at one point! :)

Definitely my favorite teacher of the semester. Go to every lecture and at least skim the textbook. For 201 there are only 3 tests, the third being during finals week but it's not cumulative. You should definitely go over your notes before each test but not an exceedingly difficult class.

Good teacher, tests were not that bad. Only 3 tests for the whole year (plus a 6 point extra credit assignment). You can tell Dr. Davidson really loves what he teaches. You have to read the text book as well as take notes in class. So whether or not you show up, make sure you get the notes.

I think if I was about 40 years older, I'd marry Jeffrey Davidson. Great teacher, great classes. Papers in 348 are pretty easy, and as long as you take GOOD notes on both the books and the lectures, you'll be fine in 341. Very helpful and will go over ANY question in class. He's funny and engaging in lecture and knows his stuff. highly suggested.

i enjoyed this class, but it was difficult. definitely read the sections in the book, when he says half the exam material is directly from the book and not lectures, he isnt joking. extra credit is so easy, so definitely make sure you do it. no attendance but make sure you attend class or you wont get a good grade.
