This is for the drugs class, the course number wasn't available. The amount of reading... INSANE. You will read 3-4 lengthy papers/articles/txt book chapters each week and then be expected to remember material from EVERY one for the exam. The study guides for the exams are not helpful at all. The professor is a nice guy I'm sure but omg.

There were 3 papers and 3 tests (MCQ + short answers) for the class. As long as you attend lectures and take notes, you'll be fine. His lectures were inspirational, and you will learn a lot from him. Definitely recommend taking any of his classes!

Super engaging and the lectures are digestible and easy to understand! Attendance is required as there are iclicker questions during lecture that track your attendance. There are 3 midterms (no consecutive) that are 20 mc and 1 sa each, but all are worth a lot of points so getting one question wrong can ding you a bit. Overall, enjoyed the class!

For 108E there is a test in week 2 that you'll most likely fail. I liked the class overall as a SOC major. But I had to basically live in office hours and constantly email the TA and professor. My recommendation is to take this class with only 2 other classes (so 3 overall). You must attend class. IClicker is a must.

Don't take his class. His TA was ridiculous and the grading she used was too harsh, even after grading things 4 weeks into the quarter. Prof isn't helpful. Don't set yourself up

Class material was interesting but the TA broke the class. Assignments consisted of ann imaginary grading rubric the TA uses, not the one provided. Sobotka didn't do much to change this after receiving many complaints. Long readings each week, nothing was graded until week 4, uses Iclicker for attendance. I wouldn't recommend this class.
