SOC 3700

I was nervous coming into this class. The syllabus can appear intimidating at first glance, but that being said, I could not be happier that I stuck with it. Professor Skubby lays every single detail out in the syllabus, so while it seems like a lot, everything you will need to succeed is in there. You are required to write one reflection paper, though you can write a second one if you want a better grade, a midterm after every unit that includes short answer and multiple choice, and a final noncumulative test in addition to the final paper. In the end, it can be a lot, so I recommend starting the final paper sooner rather than later. I ended up rushing at the end, and my final paper was my lowest grade. That being said, his test questions were directly from the slides, and he dropped the lowest test grades. Tests also include extra credit questions. I averaged around a 94 on the tests and easily got an A overall. Skubby also makes himself available to students and will edit and return your essays before you officially turn them in. He really does want you to succeed and love sociology as much as he does. Just stay on top of the readings and work on essays as early as you can; otherwise, just enjoy this wonderful teacher and class!
