Took many many courses with prof Lamy. I thought he was really knowledgeable and ended up majoring in it. He was interesting, engaging and picked really good course textbooks. Was quite funny also and made classss interesting. Shame he retired as he was a great asset.

Truly a wacky style of professor in the Steven Wright Comedian sort of way. Often times you're asking yourself..what? But hey, it keeps you coming back for more. Lots of videos, easy assignments, and ahhhhh powerpoint notes. He's retired now, so hopefully you had the chance to take some classes with him, even if just for curiosity's sake!

Comment:
Professor Lamy is a genuinely nice guy with an obscure sense of humor and he totally turned me on to sociology in my first year. Because of him I opted to minor in soc and am now pursuing a PhD in it. I took 4 classes with Lamy and enjoyed every one of them and got great grades. You have to work for it, but his classes are worth the effort!

Yeah.. I don't really know what to say. His mid-terms were completely irrelevant to the course material, too many questions about little insignificant statistics... his attitude is kinda bad and his lectures are just as good as counting sheep if you are having trouble sleeping.

This guy has a total attitude problem. I took this class during the summer semester and he basically started the course out by telling us all that the knew we were just trying to slack off by taking a first year course in summer school and that he was going to teach/grade more like a third year course to prove we couldnt get away with it. great.

Comment:
I can't figure out if he is a ****, or if he just needs to work on his delivery. He said some very strange things during his lectures...I am not sure if I would recommend htis course - on one hand, the pass/fail assignments can really boost your mark. On the other hand, you will really need it because his tests were extremely hard.

Comment:
not a bad prof.. his exams are pretty tough but he makes up for it with the free 20 percent alloted to assignments. most exam questions come from the textbook, so READ the book. too much emphasis on the economic aspect for a sociology class.. overall not too bad..has his funny moments.

Assignments were simple. ( gave 7 pass 5 ) Mid'terms were very hard. optional final exam. class material was interesting, but he needed to teach something other than what is on the power point slides. TA's were nice. Easy B+ course.

Lamy is the effing****! Funniest man ever, pretty sure he hates mexicans though. His Test can be hard, and he sometimes shows silly videos, but the assignments are a free 20%

Comment:
Great prof. I like the fact that he gives an economic facet to Sociology. The book he chose for this class is a very good one (again, very preoccupied with economics). His comments are well thought-out and doesn't go too overboard when taking a side on a particular issue. Great prof, too bad he's retiring.

What a rediculous little man. He is boring and horribly unfunny. He completely turned me off sociology. Most people only go to class to get the assignments. I bring a a and CD player so I don't have to listen to him talk. His midterms are impossible but the assignments are easy.
