Took last year. Fantastic lectures, readings, good class discussion. Absolutely hated the assignment consisting of class notes. It's drawn-out, doesn't encourage critical thinking or analysis, just writing a load of bulletpoints for credit. Thinking about my own mortality induced more meaningful thought than this lazy assignment. Give us an essay.

Zack is an amazing teacher! This class was the reason I really began to love Sociology. He is very well-spoken and has lots of real-world examples to back up his points. The readings for this class were mandatory, but they were all very short PDFs and easy to read. If you have a chance to take a class with Zack, do it!

Excellent lectures. Prof. King clearly has an in depth knowledge of global issues from historical and philosophical perspectives. If you want to become more articulate and expand the breadth of your understanding of the world. Take a class from Prof. King. Read all assigned article, think seriously about them, and write thoughtfully good grade

Well prepared lectures, provides scholarly relevant articles and opposing critical views for deeper understanding. Class discussions offer chance to learn from the lived experiences of others. Social movements can be complex, but if you read the articles you'll have material to work with for papers. Philosophical dialogue format option appreciated

This was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken with the amount of work, reading, and time. The weekly 2-3 pg papers were killer. However, this was the most rewarding class I have ever taken. Zach is so passionate and personable and is a really great professor. He makes his lectures really interdisciplinary and interesting. Worth it.

I have a very small handful of favorite professors and Zach is one of them. He's really passionate, the kind of infectious passionate that makes you WANT to attend the nearly three-hour evening lecture he hosts. I'd also recommend visiting his office hours or asking questions in class. He is extremely, Extremely knowledgeable about his subject!
