I love Dr. Sobotka. This was my second class with him, and he's wonderful. I enjoyed crafting our experiments. It was helpful to work on the final project throughout the entire quarter. Only one foundational test. Take this class!

SOC147 . 8 Months Ago

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!

SOC134 . 11 Months Ago

As a professor he does a good job engaging students in lectures and I can tell he cares. But this class is WAYYY too much work, ~500 word assignment every week, 2 exams 1 group project. My TA was also very biased with grading the weekly assignment. I got pts deducted for minor citation errors but my friend who did the same always got full credit…

He is so nice and understanding. He cares about our opinions and makes the classroom environment feel safe. I would recommend a class with him!
