SOC 2230

Good, Easy

Best class I've ever taken! Very enjoyable, and fun. Good background for other soc classes also.

Bob (the professor) is very eccentric, funny to listen to & very passionate about what hes teaching as well. Its an interesting subject made even more fascinating thanks to him. Reading's unnecessary and so's writing for this class, just 3 pretty easy tests (last one isnt even cumulative). The possible essay topics for the final are posted online within the first weeks of class. I also highly reccomend Ryan G he's the most laid-back & fun TA i've had over 2 years

This class is really easy if you go to class...all the exam questions come directly from lecture... The reading is completely unnecessary because it just repeats everything mentioned in lecture... McConnell is hilarious to listen to / ecentric but cool. Add this class if you need something to boost your GPA with all those crazy math/science classes...

an interesting topic and its not that hard of a class

His class was my favorite at the university. He is amazing. The information is fascinating and he does a wonderful job presenting it.

Don't have Peipei as your TA! She's nitpicky and not that fair. Try to get another person...anybody else!

i fell asleep in every class, really boring. The reading and lectures rarely conincided. It didnt help that i got the worse TA, John. Overall not what i was expecting in the course, major disappointment.

This class is easy as can be. 4 tests, each is two essays, and a list of possible essay topics is posted at least a week before the exams. No final, just a fourth test. A very interesting class, and does not require ANY work outside of class. Nobody reads anything. I had Peipei as a TA, and she was fair. No matter who your TA is, they will waste an hour of your time every week but it is important to speak up and participate in discussion so that they know who you are and give you better grades.

This was a really interesting course. Professor McConnell has really great and entertaining lectures. He provides test questions before an exam. There isn't really a lot of work involved. There are midterms/final and an easy assignment. I never really read the books and I didn't have to study much for the exams at all. Great course
