One of the smartest profs in the department, and he treats his theory class like his baby. Get ready to read, with a one-page memo response every week. He made me love theory when I thought it wasn't for me. 1 midterm and 1 final in class essays, 1 final essay and memos make up grade. As long as you understand the overall concepts, you'll do fine

Take this class--it will completely change your vision of sociology. It might be called Computational Sociology and have a different course #. All readings are PDF's on Gauchospace. We analyzed Twitter data to try and detect "fake news." It was a wild ride but well worth it. Your project may be different, but I can guarantee it will be awesome.

The reading can be a bit heavy, but hey, it's a theory class. Weekly one-page memos, a mid-term, and a final + a final paper. He is a very fair grader. He wants to see participation and improvement. There are people that love theory and people that don't. If you fall into the latter category, find someone who loves theory and form a study group.

Fun class. We learned how to use DiscoverText, software that analyzes Twitter feeds, and create projects out of them, of which we presented by the end of the quarter. The class is highly emphasized on a single but big group project so you are expected to make meetings outside of class to finish your project.

Felt grim about having to take a class on social theory because I thought it would be very dull. I couldn't have been more wrong. I loved the class and learned a multitude of material that is invaluable. John Mohr is a great facilitator of discussion and treats everyone with the upmost respect as we tried to grasp very hard conceptual theories.

He is extremely sweet and helpful, and genuinely cares about his students. We had weekly assignments and one final paper. It was a small class so participation was expected but the topics were very interesting. Would definitely recommend!
