CollegeDr. Linz is a good professor who is very passionate about the subject he teaches, even though his lectures are pretty boring. He does pop quizzes every week and 4 800-word essays throughout the quarter.
Professor Linz is so woke. Im currently in his class online spring quarter set to get an a. No papers just tests if u prefer that, not too challenging. He IMMEDIATELY updated slides with crucial information from recent police brutality such as Ahmed Aubrey the next day. Seriously this guy CARES about black lives and your education. Will learn a lo
The class was very interesting and relevant especially now as it has to due with racial injustice and the law. Obviously the class was online due to Corona and he adjusted well. I watched all of the lectures and enjoyed them.
Great professor. Made class really interesting. Grade is made up of multiple-choice final and midterm, offered lots of extra credit opportunities! Posted lectures online, but made class fun. He tries to trick you on tests, but if you study his lectures and understand the material you'll do fine. No textbook, just readings online. Def recommend him!
Dan is a bit disorganized, but the material is very straightforward and posted online. Both classes were composed of two 50 Qs multiple-choice exams: a midterm and a final (non-cumulative), both worth 50%. He also offers 14 points of extra credit and weighs the class to help everyone's grade.
I have no idea why all these comments are negative.. Its probably the students and not the professor. LINZ IS AN AMAZING TEACHER! ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES. He is easy going and has fun teaching the class. Just show up to class, listen, take notes and youre GOOD. Book is sorta not necessary. AGAIN, take his class, YOU WILL LEARN! Love him
