SOC 2230

Easy course. Didn't buy any of the books and did none of the reading and just went to lecture and got a B+. Studied hours before the test and got A's and B's. Easy 2000 level class if you're looking for a GPA booster. The topic was also very very interesting and I learned a great deal from the course. The professor is unique and is an excellent lecturer. Well worth the course material and the class wasn't even rigorous.

Very easy class; all information on exams was stated during lecture (aka you dont have to read). 3 midterms and a final are the only grades in the class. TA was not the best; try to get another if you can.

This class was bs. Trickery on the tests. meh. College is a place to learn and better yourselves, not to be used as a means to a paycheck. Felt like a theater. Subject matter was interesting, the presentation of said information on a test was questionable. Cheeesyy

4 midterms and a non-cumulative final. All multiple choice and all based on the lectures. If you go to class and take good notes, it's as close to an automatic A as you can get.

Great Professor, Engaging, Captivating

Extremely easy class and also pretty interesting. He doesn't assign any homework. All you have to do is show up to class and take notes, and show up to discussion and make a few comments. 4 exams and 1 final, all non-cumulative. Readings are unnecessary.

McConnell is the man. Really weird, but really funny. The class is extremely easy. Three tests make up 90% of your grade, and the other 10% comes from participation in discussion. Reading is pointless. He does not include anything on the tests that he does not go over in lecture. Just go to lecture, take good notes, and pay attention during discussion. The only time you ever need to do work outside of class is studying for the tests, which does not take long at all. With all of this being said, you will need to learn the material somehow. It is not a class you can bullshit your way through, the content is just really easy to memorize. It's pretty interesting, too.

This class is not an easy A, don't get that impression. While the tests may be multiple choice and very few questions, small mistakes on tricky questions can make a big difference in your grade. McConnell is .... interesting. Good professor, witty, funny, odd way of talking, but overall portrays the information well. I had Denise Deutschlander as my TA-- lots of work, discussion questions to answer, etc. Recommend Kara as TA.

Interesting course material, if you like crime and why people commit crime (the main focus of the class). Gets a little dry after a while, but overall is very interesting.

This class is certainly not an easy A. If you want to get an A, you must go to every lecture, pay attention, and take detailed notes on the lectures. The tests come from the lecture notes almost verbatim; however, it seems that McConnell deliberately tries to trick you on the tests with some of the questions he asks, which is very annoying. The tests were 30 mult. choice questions along with 2 short essays in 50 minutes, a lot to handle if you're a slow test taker. I would recommend the class if you're interested in the material and are willing to put forth a significant amount of work.

Don't be fooled this is no a easy class at all. And the material isn't very interesting either. I honestly wouldn't recommend this class to any one.
