I took Professor Whitehead's class online and he was great! He sent out 2 pre-recorded lectures a week (which you should definitely go through if you want to do well in the class). All the core content of the class is within these lectures, and the examples are especially helpful for the weekly homework assignments. Workload wasn't bad at all!
Weekly assignment, weekly forum post, a data collection exercise, and an 1800-2200 word final paper. The class was intimidating at first, but you will get the hang of it. Not an easy A class because you do have to put in work to get a decent grade. A lot of reading. Go to lecture and look at his slides. Lecture is a bit dry. He offers extra credit
This class is not the conventional sociology class, but is really cool and interesting, and professor Whitehead is one of the most caring and kind professors I have had in all of college. If you want to learn about how conversations work, take the class, it's relation to sociology will make sense by the end of the course.
Super easy! Only went to class once after midterm and still got an A. For midterm and final papers, you get like 8 choices to write on so you're bound to know at least one! Only used the book a little for papers... Definitely take a class with him!!
