Comment:
I took Dr. Ness for Honors Sociology 1101. As a professor, he is extremely knowledgeable in his field and lenient in grading. I appreciated the unit review study guides he provided (they were basically the exams), the feedback he gave on essays, and his sense of humor. However, his lectures are always extremely long-winded and can be boring.

Comment:
He is very nice, but unless you are interested in social problems, lectures are boring. He gives plenty of extra credit options and all his quizzes are open notes. Tests aren't too bad but they are all in essay form. If you don't answer the question exactly as he would, he deducts points. Overall, it is fairly easy but be prepared to read and write

Comment:
SUPER boring. Lectures are extremely boring and not interesting at all. I honestly have no idea what we learned in this class. He rambles about nothing for the entire time. He tests are all in essay format too.....I did not enjoy this class at all. But he is nice so that may count for something???

I cannot express how great Dr. Ness is! I have taken him for 2 sociology classes and I wish I could take him for all of them! He is funny, explains all concepts thoroughly, and gives tests that come directly from readings and class notes! Take him...you'll be happy that you did!

Dr Ness is a nice guy,and one of the best profs on campus. He gives open book test, study guide which is exactly the same question seen on test/quizzes.He also offers a lot of extra credit,almost 30points.Anyone failing any of Dr Ness classes,honestly needs to drop out of college.If everyone goes to college,who is going to keep the restrooms clean?

Comment:
He's deathly boring, and if you don't answer questions with the specific words he used, he won't give you credit. You don't really learn how to analyze social problems, you just look at a couple that interest him. It's mostly about racism.

Dr. Ness is so sweet, funny, and helpful. His class is fairly easy if you're willing to pay attention and study. Even though the class itself is boring, he tries to make it better. I'm definitely taking him for other sociology classes in the future.

Comment:
Dr. Ness pretty much gives you everything you need to know. His lectures may not be bells & whistles, but they certainly give you all the information you need. It's not difficult...you just read your selections (which are very interesting), answer the questions that he gives you...he goes over it in class...he announces quizzes. Bam! You pass.

Dr. Ness has to be the nicest prof I have ever met, and a great one at that. There was a bit more work to do than I was expecting, but they are all guided to teach you concepts that you would otherwise have to read the text about. Very funny prf, and very easy to discuss questions about assgnmnts. gives extra credit on tests! I'll take him again!

Ness is awesome. The quizzes were open notes and so was our final test. The other tests consisted of 2 short answer/essays questions, depending on how much YOU write. I highly recommend taking him for this class.

Comment:
WOW pretty harsh & unfair comments! Dr. Ness is a wonderful instructor; extremely smart & organized. Remember kids, you are in college now & have to EARN your grade. I plan on taking him for more classes - I actually learned something from him v. the instructors that hold a students hands because ASU is full of dumbed-down lazy flunkies. Grow up!

Comment:
He is a really nice guy. Lecture is not all that entertaining, but he does not waste your time giving notes that will not be needed. Ness gives notes that he is going to be useful when taking the test. Eash test come with a study guide, if you do that and then study it, there is no reason not to pass. I recommend this class, not too much reading!!
