Comment:
It is true he talks a lot about poverty, class and race, but extremely knowledgeable in his field and beyond. Very interesting insight and opinions. He leaves class quickly but is always available in his office (hours right after class) and will give help/guidance, and I was able to have many fascinating discussions with him. Very good prof.

Comment:
I'm a music major... I only enrolled in sociology for the honors credit, but Prof. Black has made me love the subject. The classes are basically lectures, and there is a lot of reading assigned, but the topics and opinions Prof. Black offers are very interesting. It's obvious he is passionate about the field and he encourages students' opinions.

Comment:
What an egotist! Thinks he's all that. Not open minded. Difficult to get help from. Never around, just comes to class and leaves. Treats us like we are inferiors. Doesn't practice what he preaches.

I don't know what everyone is talking about in here, I found the class to be very easy, and found Prof Black to be very agreeable and interesting.

Don't take this class unless you think you REALLY like Sociology; it isn't an intro course, more of a boring badly run one.

Probably doesn't have a teaching degree. Does have a lot of knowladge in subject. Very unclear in what he wants, but he does help you, and try to get you the grade you want. Consider taking him pass/fail.

Comment:
Obviously never trained to teach. His discipline is unacceptable, his "exams" as he calls them are based more on the reading than what he talks about in class. Knows about subject but not teaching (coming from fut. teacher).
