Comment:
He's boring, going deaf and ignorant. This professor is the type to say that the grass is blue, and on the test, the answer to "what color is the grass?" is blue. Even though you know grass is green, you must write that it's blue. Write down everything he says and you'll pass just fine. He is absolutely miserable though. Avoid him if you can.

He is a very intelligent man but his class is incredibly boring. Do not buy the book. Write everything he writes on the board and you will pass. All of his research is from the 70s so the class is very dry. Overall decent class just boring.

Comment:
The professor is unbelievably dry and boring and he is definitely going deaf. He'll put you to sleep in class but the tests are ridiculously easy. Just copy all the notes and the tests are exactly from them. No need to use the book. Easiest class I took at Rider

Comment:
i was fascinated with sociology prior to his course. but he ruined it for me. he is so dry and so flat. his accent is difficult to understand sometimes, and he never correctly understands your question. also, i swear he is going deaf. attendance will screw you over. just copy everything he writes on the bored, and study that furiously for the exam.

THE MOST BORING PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD!!!!! Had the hardest time staying awake during class. He is so boring and is a very hard grader. Good luck getting a A. The textbok is useless everything he grades is from his notes.

hate to say this, but this class drove me up the wall. i fell asleep every class until i started brining my laptop to keep me awake. there were only three tests, the first, midterm and the final. i ended up getting a C+ which i condsider a great accomplishment. if you end up taking him, take LOADS of notes, make sure you read, and study hard.

Comment:
His lectures are dull. The only grades are the quiz's which are hard. You definetly have to read the chapters and study. I was absent over 15 times in his class yet I still managed to get in the B range. He is nice about letting students make up exams. He does not use blackboard nor email.

Comment:
Horrible. Although classes are not hard to pass academically, he screws you with attendance. I am a commuter student with a 45 minute drive to campus, he refused to mark me present even when I was 2 mins late. Passed all exams & projects, received a C- solely based on attendance. He is ridiciulous & I would tell anyone to run from him.

He is a good professor who does a great job teaching. At times, you will need him re clarify or go over things due to his accent. All his notes are taken on the board and will need to be decipher. He does teach you well and what sociology is all about.

His accent is incomprehensible. It's very hard to understand him and he seems to always contradict himself.

Comment:
Don't be discouraged by some of these reviews. He has an accent, but he writes every single note on the board. Write the notes, go to class, and be there the day before the test because he gives you questions that are on there. Study your notes and its impossible to do bad.

Comment:
Test questions are ambiguous. Read test questions to the class that the whole class protested about; remarking that they were unclear. Doesn't know how to write a fair test. Nice guy though. But he needs to be taught to write tests.

Comment:
Gives lots of notes, gives really good review (with questions and answers straight from test) impossible to do badly unless you really try. He does have a strong accent, but it's only a few words that sound different, so you'll figure it out in a class or two; he writes EVERYTHING on the board anyway, so no worries.

One of the most boring classes you can take. Also, has an extremely strong accent and is impossible to understand. The class is strictly lecture. Almost impossible not to sleep, but hide it.

Comment:
If you are a relatively good student you will be fine with this professor. Take the notes he writes on the board and study for a little before the test, and you'll pass. I have him for an 8AM & its hard to sit through, but you don't get a lot of work. He is not THAT hard to understand, people are exaggerating. Don't be afraid to take him!
