Comment:
Very sweet guy who loves his students and his job. His lectures can be kinda boring due to zoom. Very interesting class and lots of relevant video clips. The tests are all essays that you have a week to do-- but you'll need it, he loves LONG detailed answers or you will get a low B to C. Succeed on the tests and 2 assignments and you'll be fine!

ABSOLUTELY NEVER BORING.. Lecture concepts run parallel to the book NOT the same so read and attend class (go figure). Great guy and a great professor. If you have a heart to learn sociology a MUST take. Extremely fair professor and always accessible.. Ask for feedback on paper helps grade tremendously.

Dr. Katovich is one of the greats. He knows what he is talking about, his lectures are entertaining, and takes the time to make sure you understand the concepts being described. He is always available and helpful for office hours and cares about his students. His class isn't for students looking for an easy A, it's for students who love sociology.

Katovichs is a great professor who has mastered his craft of teaching...Really under appreciated guy. His humor is very subtle and he blends sociological concepts with life stories to make interesting lectures. Doesn't take himself too seriously and is genuinely concerned for students. Not an easy A but definitely worth the experience.

Great with explaining concepts as he puts great examples together to clarify the different concepts. He tends to use movies and clips in his class and they are often helpful. If you want to succeed come to class and read the textbook that is assigned.

Only interesting occasionally, other times extremely boring. He shows a lot of movie clips though, that's cool. Very easy writing emphasis course, only two papers.

Comment:
Social Psychology. Great professor. Everyone should take a class with Katovich. Tells lots of stories. Really cares to be involved with students. Three tests that are mostly lecture, but you should at least know what's in the book. Speaks very slowly, but you get used to it. Doesn't care if you pay attention as long as you show up on the work.

Dr. Katovich is SO SMART. He comes up with his own concepts in class, so even though attendance is not "mandatory," you need to be present in order to take notes. His exams are half lecture based and other half from the chapters in the books. He gives you study guides, and the exams come straight from them. HE is a REALLY good professor!

This guy is hilarious. Take very good notes and make sure you understand the concepts, and the tests will be easy. T/F questions on the textbook readings, so those can be tricky. He can be a tough grader on the papers. Ask him for help if you need it; he's very approachable.

I would say that this class is interesting! He covers different variety of topics that are very interesting! plus he uses his personal stories as great examples as he introduces for his concepts! Dr. Katovich is great and he has office hours where he explains the material very well. Be sure to attend class and read because his tests covers both!

He was my favorite prof. in all of my college years. Super cool guy, and made sociology relevant to everyone. Highly, highly suggest taking at least one of his classes. I think I took 3 or 4. Not an easy grade, but worth taking!

Attendance is not mandatory, but he will often give an extra credit assignment that is basically writing your name on paper with the date. He teaches from his life experiences, which makes it easy to listen to, and he loves drugs :) Also, he gives you a study guide that covers everything that will be on the test. great guy

Katovich is a realy cool guy. This class is really interesting. We basically talked about certain concepts and then watched a movie or TV show that went along with it. Its not a very easy class but it is interesting. Going to class is not mandatory. Make sure and read the book!
