Collegetook soc 128 in the winter & it was amazing! 2 short papers & 1 final with a lot of freedom on what you choose to do (ex. essay, photographs, making a playlist, etc.). 3 quizzes & they were super easy even if you just review the slides. you can tell that turowetz rly cares for his students & wants all of them to succeed
Not a difficult class. Lecture slides were dense but basically everything you need is in there and I didn't really do the readings but still did well on tests. My TA was not harsh so class went by easily. Just make sure you refresh on key terms before tests and you should be good.
you don't need to read the textbook and he posts the slides that have all the info from lecture u need so if u miss lecture you'll be totally fine. pretty easy class but 50% of your grade is based on 5 short essays graded by the TAs. my papers weren't graded until right before the final so it was kinda difficult to guess what my final grade wouldbe
Such a great GE. Graded by 5 short response papers, 1 midterm,1 final. Study well and you'll get the grade. Very great at explaining soc concepts & slides are well organized. Textbook is required, but everything he covers in class. Beware of your TA's!! They are VERY harsh graders and will mark you down for even spelling a word wrong.
