    SOC149 . Nielsen E S 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

    Was a really good professor, although they do kinda send the guidelines for the essay very last minute but was an interesting course!

    SOC149 . Nielsen E S 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

    one book to read, weekly personality tests, 2 papers, a midterm, final paper, and final exam. didn't upload the instructions for papers until the week it was due so that was pretty stressful. iclicker attendance, but all of the exams are take-home/open note. overall good professor and really interesting class, but could be a little more organized.

    This class taught me a lot! 10/10 would take again, not hard and very easy to follow lecture.

    SOC126URBAN . Nielsen E S 3 Months Ago

    he's a nice person, tried to make class funny but lecture often felt a bit vague and tangential. no assignments until midterm, then low effort group project and connected essay, then final. (both exams were online multiple choice) didn't grade anything until after finals and ignored my email. pretty easy, and he seems kind but i didn't learn much
