CollegeLecture
lots of work does both a final essay and a final test. But test is pretty easy as long as you do the work. can get very boring in lecture. very passionate about the subject. readings are long but interesting, not boring research papers, more newspapers long articles etc.
Overall was a very passionate professor, I enjoyed lecture but I did well on all assignments and papers but unfortunately the quizzes were very difficult and the final was a five page written final in a blue book. Would't say it is an easy class but it is manageable.
The professor is nice and all that. However, I am finding this extremely difficult to understand what he is saying. Some pure nonsense about his rant for politics, which by law, all professors should avoid talking about politics. TA is nice and all that. No clear guide of quiz study guides, etc. Some nonsense about our stupid environment. Say no!!
This professor is just amazing! Love this guy! You will love him too. He is generous and gives great feedback on reading assignments. You can get an easy A with this guy. Just keep up with notes and readings and show up to class, like the scholars and you'll do just fine.
This class was fine. It wasn’t the best I’ve taken but also not the worst. Very mid. We had quite a lot of essays and quizzes but they weren’t very hard. Start the research paper early!! I needed a few days to do it, if I had started any later I would have been screwed
Genuinely don't know what you have to do to get an A in this class. The TA grades so hard without any feedback, they expect so much from sociology students like we're experts on the environment or something. Also, attendance is mandatory, despite ya know, being sociology of the ENVIRONMENT course, I would've thought they'd be more understanding.
