I loved this class. Weekly reading quizzes that were not too challenging. The bulk of my grade was based on two papers and a final. For both papers, Dr. Bridges gave us super helpful directions and discussed both projects in class. I made a movie trailer for the final with a short paper. It was a fun way to end a great class.

By far, the *best* professor at UCSB. Took his Special Topics course so I didn't know what I was getting into. Turned out to be Sociology of Privilege and he carefully planned out each one of the readings which were so amazing. His passion and amazing lecturing skills made me want to ride my bike to class even when it was pouring rain outside.

I really like SOC185G and the lectures are always so interesting! The only thing I have to say is his grading criteria does seem to be really tough, and his policy on late work is a bit harsh. No makeups for quizzes and you can lose a lot of points for late essays. Understandable, but just a warning to stay on top of things!

He is the best professor I have ever had. His lectures are very engaging and entertaining and I looked forward to going to every class. He has a very good teaching style that promotes student engagement without being forced.

AMAZING PROFESSOR ! He became my favorite human. He's class became my favorite because of the way he lectures. I cannot say this enough he is not just an amazing professor but also an amazing human. He is really caring, gives amazing feedback and wants you to succeed. The way this class is designed makes you want to learn. Also amazing slides!

Took Soc125P with Dr. Bridges--best lecturer I've ever had, super knowledgable and engaging and highly encourages students to come to office hours. Weekly quizzes on readings/lecture content, 2 papers, and a midterm and final in-person. Need to work hard but it's easy to keep up with the content if you're going to lecture.
