Comment:

One of the best professors I have had at Cortland. I took his Maya Culture class with him and he was so knowledgeable and changed my entire perspective on indigenous culture. There were 2 tests, midterm and final, a 10-page final essay, and a film analysis essay. If you get the chance, take his classes!

Sosa is the best professor I've ever had. I've taken SOC 230 and SOC 352 with him and he is so passionate about what he teaches, he will inspire you as well. Notes are very long, but if you copy them from the powerpoint & listen to him, you will do well. No homework, just 3 tests and a final paper. Take ANY class with him and you will be happy.

Sosa is the best professor. Expect to be mind blown after leaving this class. He teaches so much about the world around us that we do not know. Truly changed the way I view the world. The class is super easy. Three tests total and a ten page paper. You as the student determine your grade. He isn't big on instructions because he wants us to succeed.

Professor Sosa is hands down the best professor I have taken at Cortland. Dont go into this class thinking it is your basic "Pred&Discrim" class, because it is not like any class youve taken. He opens up you mind to see things from a different light and really can change your mind about some topics. Nicest & most knowlegable prof at Cortland.

Comment:

Professor Sosa completely turned around my experience at SUNY Cortland. He is easily the greatest, kindest, most supportive professor I've ever had. He is passionate about his classes and cares for his students in a way that not many professors seem to. I have no doubt in my mind that he has changed the course of the rest of my life.

Best professor you will ever have, will literally change your life and your outlook on it and society and how it was formed. Take him for any class you possibly can, it will be the best class you ever take. You will gain more useful knowledge in this class than any other and will be a more well informed member of society. Best influence of my life.

Best professor I have ever had. You can talk to him about literally anything that's on your mind. He will help break down the mental block all of us have pertaining to why United States culture is the way it is and he highlights all of the people that have been exploited in the processes. He forces you to ask yourself inconvenient questions.

Sosa has got to be one of the nicest, caring and thought provoking professor in this department. He is always open to discussion and always is his office if you need to talk, about ANYTHING. His tests are super easy but be expected to write and essay for each in which you'll be examples from the textbooks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Yes-- he loves the Maya and speaks for them, but, that's the job of an anthropologist, right? He is a great, smart, interesting, caring guy and I look forward to going to his class. I take his summer class which is two hours two times a week and I honestly don't mind going to class at all. Take him if you can! He obviously loves what he does.

3 tests a semester, plenty of notice given and you only need to read the textbooks to get examples for tests. sosa is always available to talk, and tries to get a discussion going but never calls on you.

By far the best professor i have ever had! He is a wonderful, caring man who truly cares about how his students do. The 10 page paper is a little time consuming but incredibly easy. I would recommend him to anyone. He is the one professor who has changed my outlook on the world. And he loves talking to you out of class, so don't hesitate!!
