The class is very straight to the point. While you do have to teach yourself a bit, I think it is worth it. Don't expect anything amazing in the lecture. Very dull and monotone presentations. The grading was very easy. All the material is online, so you really can get away without attending every class.

easy professor and a really nice guy! while he may be a tiny boring to listen to, attendance isn't necessarily mandatory and all the assignments are pretty easy. very doable work, easy graders, and an overall easy course. he is passionate about the topic and we learned interesting stuff! highly recommend him!

While the class was relatively easy, you teach yourself all of the material. Professor teaches for the first week, and every class afterward consists of student presentations. The only assignments were 4 papers and a final that could either be a video or an additional paper, so if you like to write this is a good class fo you. Very kind grader.

Class was made up of 4 writing assignments and 1- 60sec video. Class was easy but you do need to read the 4 books to understand what the class is about. No need to attend class as long as you keep up with the reading and submit your assignments on time. I hardly went to section but the TA was nice and helpful. Overall a easy class.

very easy and simple class, lectures are boring/optional to attend but for assignments you need to watch the films/videos we discuss in class. very few assignments but they're easy and managable. extra credit for people that present first! very inspirational class :)

One of my favorite and easiest soc classes I have taken. Very manageable workload and John is a really nice guy.
