good guy. take his every class. He has ONLY reflection homework and he will give you full credit good guy !
Loved prof Soto. He's so kind and funny, the lectures are simple and the main work was discussion posts each week. I had no confusion with anything and he's an easy grader on the midterm and final, which are either projects or papers (you choose). Definitely take him!!
Profe Soto is truly inspirational. Unique teaching style incorporating videos, guest speakers and lecture. Truly inspirational you will not regret this class.
Oscar is amazing!!! He is so caring and passionate about education, and it shows in the way that he conducts his class. He ends lectures by saying "I love yall" every time.
Really had fun with the le away he gave in the cajita project. Ive never had a professor who cares so much about the students well being academically, but also emotionally and pushes self care. Highly recommend this professor!! 2 quizzes, 2 small papers, 1 presentation and 1 final cumulative paper!!
Most down and inspirational profe at UCSB. Two quizzes, two papers, one project and one final paper. Helpful outside of class and is willing to help with anything. I strongly recommend this profe!!! Profe Soto makes you think critically!!
Caring and all around a good person. Very funny and also gives a different perspective on social deviance. Very knowledgeable about the subject, and critical about the system of capitalism we live in today. 2 quizzes, 2 short papers, 1 final paper and 1 presentation. All cumulative and lets you research what you want. I LOVED THIS CLASSS!!!
By far the best class I have taken at UCSB. Genuinely cares about students success and really wants students to be successful in his class. Two quizzes, two critical papers, one presentation and one final paper! He allows you to work on your paper throughout the class. Will definitely take profe Soto again!!
Inspirational, easy going and good human! Always willing to help and accommodate students! Two quizzes, two free responses, one presentation and one final paper! Highly eoccomended!!
Wow! Great professor, person, and human. You can tell he loves to teach. Quizzes, papers, and presentation all relevant to oppression. Wish we could discuss more!
The coolest professor at UCSB by far. His Gauchospace is very artsy and animated, unlike anything I have ever seen in my three years here. Very accessible outside his office hours. Allows you to research anything you are interested in, but has to be relevant to class material. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR! Will definitely take his SOC170 class!
Professor Soto is one of the most caring professors at UCSB. Always willing to help with projects inside and outside of class. Lectures were engaging and he used UNIQUE videos to supplement his wonderful teaching style. I would highly recommend this professor . Gives three papers, one presentation, one final all commutative. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Best professor at UCSB!! Three papers, one final (which he prepares you with the three previous papers), and a presentation! Love his unique teaching style, with supplementation of videos, and lack of professionalization. Accessible outside of class, and outside his office hours! Strongly recommend this professor!
My favorite professor at UCSB thus far. His teaching style is sooo unique. Very accessible outside of class and very inspiring. Very knowledgeable, and gives you a different perspective on society today! Has a tendency to critique capitalism, A LOT! But shows how everything is interrelated to this system of masss oppression! Highly recommended!!!
Profeeee! Approachable inside and outside of class. Gives you a different perspective on how we see society today. Not a difficult class, but very lecture and video heavy. Doesn't use a rubric, which is a little difficult because I am not used to so much freedom in class. One-sided course, but warns us that we have been socialized to think this way
One of the most caring and atypical professors at UCSB. Doesn't believe in the hierarchies of academia, so he treats you like a human being not a student. Lecture heavy supplemented by videos. Three papers, presentation and final paper. Love that there was no rubric, which allowed me to research whatever I wanted. Highly recommend this professor.
One of the most caring professors I have ever taken! Professor Soto really cares about the success of his students! Really help me understand the world from a different perspective! Really friendly, even though he doesn't give that vibe, and really wants his students to succeed!! Really recommend this professor!! 3 Papers!! 1 Final Paper!!
Such an amazing professor!! Gives three written assignments, but allows you to combine the three assignments for final paper! Videos, PowerPoints, and lectures were fun and gave a different perspective of the world we live! He gave us the freedom to choose any topic which goes against every class I have ever taken!! I strongly recommend this prof!
Best professor at UCSB!!
