145 was great! 3 quizzes with 2 sa and 10 mc, which he provides clear study guides for & a midterm + final exam that were take-home essays that you get 3 ish days to write. lectures were interesting, and grading was fair. all readings were online and skimmable. def need to do the work and go to class to really understand, but not hard to do well.

easygoing professor, straightforward material

Besides his voice being fairly monotone and making me sleepy, he's a great lecturer. His slides were helpful. He always posted a midterm and final review. Readings and assignments were easy to understand. There were 4 assignments and he would allow you to turn them in late with a small penalty.

Personally my favorite sociology professor so far!! This was my first quarter at UCSB and he was the best professor for me to take. Quizzes and papers are straightforward, attendance isn't mandatory but definitely recommended. Lectures can feel dense but it's all digestible and honestly super interesting!! Quizzes are based on lecture and readings.

Dr. Turowetz has been one of my favorite professors that I have taken within the Soc Department. His lectures are incredibly clear but still touch on extremely impactful information that is set up cohesively throughout the q. The gradebook consisted of 3 in class quizzes (10 MC and 2 SA) 2 short essay assignments, and a final. Def take, very easy!

good class and interesting, but there are 3 harder quizzes and 2 major assignments. the final project is doable and fairly easy, but a lot of reading for the class. not sure if it was just the ta for my class, but very harsh grading. stay on top of readings, multiple chapters assigned a day.
