Comment:
This professor really knows what he's talking about. Take a lot of notes because he doesn't do powerpoints or the book (altough he says skim it you don't have to). The definitions he gives you WRITE THEM DOWN they are exactly what is on the test. He can get really lengthy and on tangents but overall good professor to have for sociology!

Take notes in class and read all the chapters before the test. I didn't do much for the first test then when he handed them out I found out that he takes the bulk of his questions from the book. Good teacher, gives extra credit!

Good teacher, funny and smart. Don't take the class at night though. It was so hard to pay attention for 3 hours. He is awesome, sociology...not so much. But the tests are pretty straightforward. Overall not a bad class

Seems like a cool guy and knows the material. I wish I could find a Soc class I could take with him because I bet it would be enjoyable. He finds ways to relate the material to himself as well as his students, allowing them to relate to it in a much easier way. Always has a smile on his face, gaining him a few points.

Comment:
I think he is waiting to retire. Adleast that what it seems like when he gives you make-shift assignments, because he hasn't planned for the class. I've had him before, and his unprepared-ness is typical. I am not sure that that is the best think if you want to feel prepared when you graduate. He is a really nice guy, and he knows his stuff.

He was very fun in class which is why it wasn't so bad being in class for 2 1/2 hours at night. He doesn't usually let out early except on test night. And there's only 3 easy tests so, go to class and you'll get a good grade.
