Not a difficult class. Lecture slides were dense but basically everything you need is in there and I didn't really do the readings but still did well on tests. My TA was not harsh so class went by easily. Just make sure you refresh on key terms before tests and you should be good.

you don't need to read the textbook and he posts the slides that have all the info from lecture u need so if u miss lecture you'll be totally fine. pretty easy class but 50% of your grade is based on 5 short essays graded by the TAs. my papers weren't graded until right before the final so it was kinda difficult to guess what my final grade wouldbe

Such a great GE. Graded by 5 short response papers, 1 midterm,1 final. Study well and you'll get the grade. Very great at explaining soc concepts & slides are well organized. Textbook is required, but everything he covers in class. Beware of your TA's!! They are VERY harsh graders and will mark you down for even spelling a word wrong.

He has good grading policies and you can work closely with your TA to ensure you get the grades you want. You have to write 5 essays, one midterm, one final, and section participation. All work is short and reasonable, his midterm/final are a lot like an AP test but short. His lectures cover everything the textbook does, you don't need to read it.

Turowetz is a great professor and I rly enjoyed the content that was covered. However, the grades on writing assignments(50% of your grade) are determined by your TA and the strict rubric they follow. Free response on tests are graded harshly and you will be marked off if you are even ONE WORD off the rubric. Harder than I thought SOC 1 should be.

Such a nice man who really cares that his students understand the content. Only a few quizzes/assignments and you can do well just by going to class
