easygoing professor, straightforward material

Besides his voice being fairly monotone and making me sleepy, he's a great lecturer. His slides were helpful. He always posted a midterm and final review. Readings and assignments were easy to understand. There were 4 assignments and he would allow you to turn them in late with a small penalty.

took 128 & would take another. few short quizzes worth ~5% of ur grade each which are a breeze if you show up or even just review the slides since he tells you exactly what will be on there. Really lenient grading on the few 750 word papers there were and no final, just a project that you have a lot of liberty w/. Wish we got some feedback tho

he's new, so I took a gamble when I registered for his class. not bad, lectures can be a little boring because he just reads off the slides. no quizzes, only 4 assignments and the midterm + final, so make sure to do good on those. assignments can be pretty vague but he replies to emails fast!

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.

145 was great! 3 quizzes with 2 sa and 10 mc, which he provides clear study guides for & a midterm + final exam that were take-home essays that you get 3 ish days to write. lectures were interesting, and grading was fair. all readings were online and skimmable. def need to do the work and go to class to really understand, but not hard to do well.
