Great class. Prof Y is very clear in lectures and makes his expectations clear. No homework assignments or discussion section (took in summer) so it was midterm and final based. Doing the readings was essential and he makes a great effort to get students to engage. Many people participated which hasn't been my experience in other classes. I took another class with him in summer which was very interesting. I would definitely try taking SOC101 with this professor. We covered Simmel, Marx, and Durkheim. He made these dense topics and readings interesting and cares for each students success. I would recommend. Attendance was recorded through short responses in class - 7 in total.
