As a former SOC 1 TA for Professor Lanuza and having TAed for 3+ other SOC professors, I must be candid—I would not TA for him again nor recommend him. The lack of clear assignment guidelines, condescending communication, and unavailable lecture slides created unnecessary confusion and was needlessly challenging. Some TAs even cried after meetings.

Phones must be put away at start of class. He walks around to make sure that it is put away. Don't even try it cause he will call you out. Easy class and tells you EXACTLY what's on the test. Group project and individual projects are easy. You will learn a lot. Can be finished after 6 weeks. Shows his rate my prof. to scare you but you will be okay

BEST CLASS! Does not want students that do not want to learn. No phones or computers- he will call you out. Lectures are interesting . He tells you EXACTLY what is on the midterm/ final. Had to reach out to the TA for directions for group paper but got 100% on it. Have to attend lecture, but an easy A if you attend and pay attention.

Class is easy as long as you go to most of the lectures, he is very clear about what will be on the test, and the projects were graded lightly. The no-tech rule is a little annoying, but not the end of the world. His accent makes him a little hard to understand during lectures and his jokes aren't that funny, but otherwise he isn't that bad.

Great lecturer, very clear grading criteria. Make sure you are on top of assignments as there are NO late assignments not a big deal as everything is listed before hand. No phone class which I found refreshing. Easy A. -1 point as he does not seem too concerned about getting to know students as everything is directed to TA.

A lot of the reviews on her speak negatively on him, but he's a really good professor. The no phone policy isn't a big deal, writing down everything helps anyways. :) The assignments were super easy as long as you stayed on top of everything. He also does tell you EXACTLY what's going to be on the exam!
