Interesting class, though also hard because topic requires so miniscule analysis. No attendance during lectures taken, but sections. Funny lectures because of examples from shows. Reading mostly not necessary, except occasionally for assignments (only take-home, no tests).

This Professor was really down-to-earth and I was entertained by his lectures. You are only graded on a few papers so be sure to read the material and attend the lectures! His lectures are relatable, funny, but very theoretical at times and can be word-heavy. But overall I would absolutely take his classes again!

I took this course over the summer and it was async which has it's benefits and drawbacks. This course is good for people who want fewer assignments, but it's difficult to improve your grade if you do poorly on one. There was a midterm (40%), final essay (50%), and an easy exercise (10%).

The content itself was confusing but he took the time to make sure students understood the material to the best of their ability. You can tell her loves teaching the subject which made it interesting to learn. Grades were based on an easy assignment, the midterm paper and final paper. Show up to lectures and you should be fine.

Raymond was the best professor as far as the soc department’s justice system courses! I have taken many of professors who teach the justice system in the soc department and he was the best! Avoid Gordon at all costs & take Raymond and Rios instead u won’t regret it! Easy material, graded on group project and midterm and final!

Awesome professor! Took him for the Summer course, the class itself is a hard thing to grasp. But he has a way of explaining things really great. Go to office hours if things are not clear super nice in explaining if you really did not understand a single thing. Or to just talk, very interesting conventions, worth a while.
