SOC 3710

The class material is dry and not very engaging. The class readings are focused on theory instead of business. Participation plays a big role in performance. However Prof Gorman is very nice and smart.

I took this class for the Entrepreneurship Minor and I wouldn't recommend. The truth is it's not super difficult (I got a B+) it's just super boring and there are weekly write ups on the readings for the class that are 30 pages long and never make a lick of sense. Gorman is nice but focuses on how much you talk in class, so if you don't like to participate you're screwed. There are 2 exams which are the easiest part of the class but 3 papers/projects that are the main portion of your grade and are just a hassle to do. Overall, wouldn't recommend this class unless you really have to but ultimately it's not that hard, just frustrating.

It was a good course. The material wasn't difficult to understand or remember, and professor Groman is very nice. Not sure why this class has such a low rating, it was pretty easy going and enjoyable. There is a lot of group work though, but it's nothing crazy where your grades depend on other people- it's mostly group discussion while filling out some worksheets.
