TUROWETZ J
this was common sense in a course. genuinely so easy I felt like I was getting dumber by being there. dw you'll get an A if you have have any brain cells. prof is super nice but class was just boring.
Great professor, methods is supposed to be the hardest soc class but he made it really straightforward and I wasn't overwhelmed with the workload or concepts. Definitely recommend taking as a soc major to fill this requirement.
He is a very passionate professor and really does a good job explaining topics. There was one midterm and final with 50 multiple choice questions each. He does a review of the topics on the test before so if you study the concepts then you should be fine. The tests are non cumulative. There are 4 other assignments assigned throughout the quarter.
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.
