Loved his sense of humor. I think many misunderstand when he's joking. Interesting classes. Learn things that stay with you after graduation.

Love the professor, but 75% of the final grade depended on exams and only 25% on essays. I did good on the essays, but the exams were hard to get an A on even though they were open noted and it's a 100 level class. I wish the exams & essays were weighted differently or had another component/category to it because the outcome of grades would differ.

Professor Lundskow is very smart and knows what he is talking about. His lectures are long, but informative. However, the grading for his class is difficult. All of the exams throughout the semester are online, but they are hard and you cannot find the information. The essays assigned in this class are graded harshly and make up a lot of your grade

Prof Lundskow made this class bearable. GO TO CLASS. Take notes on everything he says, even on films! So much of the exam questions are from stuff he's said as his powerpoints are just outlines. He lets you know why you got the grade you did on your papers and is very lenient in due dates. He's funny & knows his stuff. I'd take him again for sure.

I really enjoyed this course. Lundskow is very intelligent and gives very interesting lectures. He can be tough on grading papers, but I still found it to be fair. Also did some movie days, gives random extra credit, and allows open notes on tests.

Really smart guy. However, very unclear and tough on grading essays. His exam questions aren't very straight forward, but are open note. Wouldn't really take him again, and he holds you after class atleast 3 minutes every class period.

He isn't the worst professor. There are only two exams and no book so his presentations are kind of all over, its a pretty easy class but he grades things kind of tough. Everything is a baseline B unless you prove to be better or worse. The writings aren't difficult just broad. My problem is he goes over on time and i have to rush to my next class.

Only has the midterm and the final. No other exams than those. He assigns three reading assignments for homework and a 350 max word essay is due with those. Very confusing as to what he wants you to write about. Extremely broad and a tough grader.

Pretty funny guy. We watched a lot of movies. Go to class, he takes attendance and gives extra points when there's not a lot of people. 2 exams. Papers in response to articles that he does grade semi-toughly. Especially since he has a 325 word max, you can't include everything. Overall, fairly easy, but kind of boring.

Professor Lundskow is super super boring. You have to read 2 articles and 2 SUPER short books and write 200 max. word essays. There is a midterm and a final which he gives a study guide and takes the exact questions for the exams. Hes super boring but easy.

I went into this class expecting it to be hard, but the Prof did a great job deeply explaining everything. There were group papers for every section, but if you get a good group those are not difficult.

He knows his stuff and is extremely smart. The lectures are fun and interesting. He gives two exams which are very easy. He grades extremely hard on papers.. It's very hard to be given a 100 on a paper written for his class.

He knows a lot about his subject. He goes off on small semi-off topic things but are still interesting. Grade is based on exams and 5 papers. he gives you a study guide with direct quetions from exam to get an easy A. papers are responce papers to articles he assigns. Overall not a bad guy and a pretty easy class.

I have my own opinions but I am open to learning other peoples' opinions. Lundskow does not accept anyone's views but his own. His papers are impossible and you basically have to pick up brain waves from him to understand what he wants. He useless when it comes to help. Do not take if possible.

Terrible prof! I felt like I learned virtually nothing about sociology. He would go on long off topic tangents that had nothing to do with the material. He only liked to talk about what he was interested in. However, class was blowoff and an easy pass as long as you studied in detail topics discussed in class.

Comment:

If you do not agree with his opinion, you clearly do not understand the material, regardless of if you have a solid argument for the other side. He was rude, and would purposely pick students who would be uncomfortable with a new idea and put them on the spot. Exams and quizzes are very easy, and papers are very hard and he grades papers hard.

This class could've been really interesting, but the mixture of off topic monotone lectures and the ridiculous grading scale made it horrid. 60% of the class grade was papers, which he graded outrageously and unfairly. Save time and tuition...take another class!

I was not impressed at all. He seemed really arrogant and was a very tough grader on papers. I didn't feel like I learned much at all. If you don't agree with him, he will not like you. Don't take this class if at all possible.

Comment:

Was confusing during lecture and didn't give much of a holistic view of social psychology. Trailed off a lot, didn't give clear expectations and was somewhat rude when evaluating essays. Topics and movies he showed were somewhat interesting, but I didn't learn much. Didn't communicate well either.
