I also took Soc 147 with him! He is the best sociology professor take his classes .

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!

Don't take his class. His TA was ridiculous and the grading she used was too harsh, even after grading things 4 weeks into the quarter. Prof isn't helpful. Don't set yourself up

Class material was interesting but the TA broke the class. Assignments consisted of ann imaginary grading rubric the TA uses, not the one provided. Sobotka didn't do much to change this after receiving many complaints. Long readings each week, nothing was graded until week 4, uses Iclicker for attendance. I wouldn't recommend this class.

When things were graded, grades were BAD and we were already like 4 assignments in. Awful class, awful amount of reading, unrealistic expectations for students. The midterm and final were insane and also we took the final not during finals week and then literally had another class after ??? Had his finals for both of the classes on the same day

His class was interesting and he made it engaging. However, what bothered me is that after receiving so many complaints about the TA and grading he didn't do anything to try and help. It's not cool when TAs act like the professor. YOU'RE NOT! She was nit picky, went off her own grading system, NEVER responded to emails, and made the class awful.
