I made an account to tell you to take this dudes class. I have taken Soc 101, 122, and now 128 with him, and consistent with his lecturing and class organization. There are 2-3 quizzes, depending on whether it is summer or normal quarters, and a paper final. Assigns reading, but I have never had to read to do well. Always good for makeup/extensions

Fav class this quarter. 5 essays that are 400-500 words but are easy and graded fairly. A midterm and final. Both are easy, just make sure to do the readings, go to class, and study. Turowetz is very chill and so knowledgeable. He lectures very clearly which is lovely plus he has straightforward grading criteria. Definitely take this class!!

Overall easy GE, 5 500-600 word essays, midterm and final. Essays are easy, if you study a bit for tests you'll easily get an A.

a lot of writing for the class, but it's doable. your ta is what really matters

I love Prof. Turowetz! He's very kind and helpful. His lectures are straightforward. 3 quizzes, 2 short analyses, and 1 final paper (a playlist or creative project). I found this class very accessible and easy. The final is enjoyable.

Lectures were a little boring at times, but Professor Turowetz explains concepts simply and gives many examples. It is clear how much she cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Midterms weren't too bad as long as you study. No cumulative final. Writing assignments were time consuming at times, hardest part is the TA's grading on these!

easygoing professor, straightforward material

Besides his voice being fairly monotone and making me sleepy, he's a great lecturer. His slides were helpful. He always posted a midterm and final review. Readings and assignments were easy to understand. There were 4 assignments and he would allow you to turn them in late with a small penalty.

Personally my favorite sociology professor so far!! This was my first quarter at UCSB and he was the best professor for me to take. Quizzes and papers are straightforward, attendance isn't mandatory but definitely recommended. Lectures can feel dense but it's all digestible and honestly super interesting!! Quizzes are based on lecture and readings.

145 was great! 3 quizzes with 2 sa and 10 mc, which he provides clear study guides for & a midterm + final exam that were take-home essays that you get 3 ish days to write. lectures were interesting, and grading was fair. all readings were online and skimmable. def need to do the work and go to class to really understand, but not hard to do well.

Dr. Turowetz has been one of my favorite professors that I have taken within the Soc Department. His lectures are incredibly clear but still touch on extremely impactful information that is set up cohesively throughout the q. The gradebook consisted of 3 in class quizzes (10 MC and 2 SA) 2 short essay assignments, and a final. Def take, very easy!

good class and interesting, but there are 3 harder quizzes and 2 major assignments. the final project is doable and fairly easy, but a lot of reading for the class. not sure if it was just the ta for my class, but very harsh grading. stay on top of readings, multiple chapters assigned a day.
