Personally my favorite sociology professor so far!! This was my first quarter at UCSB and he was the best professor for me to take. Quizzes and papers are straightforward, attendance isn't mandatory but definitely recommended. Lectures can feel dense but it's all digestible and honestly super interesting!! Quizzes are based on lecture and readings.

Dr. Turowetz has been one of my favorite professors that I have taken within the Soc Department. His lectures are incredibly clear but still touch on extremely impactful information that is set up cohesively throughout the q. The gradebook consisted of 3 in class quizzes (10 MC and 2 SA) 2 short essay assignments, and a final. Def take, very easy!

good class and interesting, but there are 3 harder quizzes and 2 major assignments. the final project is doable and fairly easy, but a lot of reading for the class. not sure if it was just the ta for my class, but very harsh grading. stay on top of readings, multiple chapters assigned a day.

This professor's lectures are simply inaudible and the questions answered in class are vague and unresolved. The exams were only scoped and the class review did not help. The exam is only 30 minutes long and then you have to write two answer questions afterward. There was barely enough time. the TA was also very harsh in giving scores.

taken multiple classes with this prof, the last thing he wants is for you to fail the class. Extremely clear on what he expects on his papers so follow the rubric and you should get a near perfect score. lectures are just slides that he reads off of but they're also posted online

gradebook is very minimal, graded off two papers, two quizzes, and the final, all of which have a hefty weight. attendance is not mandatory, but some films we watch in class are featured on the quizzes so i would reccomend going anyway. very sweet, don't be afraid to ask questions, i only wish the papers' grading criteria were clearer
