This course was offered during Summer Session C, 2022. The class covered foundational sociological theories focusing primarily on the works of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, and how their contributions helped to shape both history and contemporary society, Dr, Yeritsian was a fantastic teacher. A great communicator, and despite being a remote class, his lectures were concise, emphasizing the most important aspects of the assigned reading material, some of which was long, complex, and dense. The three graded essay assignments, gave us plenty of freedom to engage meaningful contemporary issues and phenomena and tie these to concepts and theories we learned. Thoroughly enjoyed the class, and it was excellent preparation for Sociology 102 taken in the fall quarter, as well as for the major in general. Dr. Yeritsian was always accessible and helpful during office hours, and also by appointment. He encouraged me to work on critical thinking and to developing stronger writing skills that continues to help me tremendously. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend--A++
Professor Yeritsian is very knowledgeable and he makes a theory class very interesting! He gives good lectures and clearly explains the course material. The class overall is organized well. If you do want to learn and have a strong foundation in sociology, take him! He is very professional in his job. The class requires effort and time that will surely pay off later. There are always options for classes where you don't learn anything, but in this class, you would gain a lot of knowledge that will be useful later in life as well. One of the best sociology professors at UCLA! Enjoyed his class, and highly recommend taking him!
All of the reviews are outdated. I am currently taking him in Fall 2022 and he is easily the rudest professor I have ever met. He talks in a way that makes it extremely difficult to grasp what he is saying and will try to argue with you if you're asking a simple question. Your grade is based off of 3 exams. Its 30 questions multiple choice and 2 blue book essay questions per exam. Not the hardest but if you can't grasp the concept, they are difficult. I truly would never take a class with him again just because of how rude and entitled he acts.
Dr. Yeritsian has been one of my favorite professors! He makes his lectures very interesting and does an amazing job making the content understandable and relatable. There were only 4 short papers that made up the course grade and all were very managable. I would totally recommend anyone to take any class with him. He truly cares about his students and is a great professor.
Dr. Yeritsian is an outstanding professor. Before taking Soc 101 I was anxious because I heard that it is a dense class. However, Dr. Yeritsian makes it so simple and manageable. The class was organized into 4 modules. No midterm or final, just 4 assignments total. These were 4 page papers at the end of each 2 week module. He really knows how to explain concepts without confusing students. He provides relevant readings (in pdfs, no need to purchase anything) that are both interesting and helpful in learning the material. Dr. Yeritsian truly cares about his students. He will not stop helping you until he is certain that you are confident with the material. He is great at relating real-life examples to what we are learning to make everything more understandable. I didn’t even get an A on all my papers, but its not important because the experience with the professor was just so wonderful. He is caring, understanding, and just an overall great educator. Take any class you can with him! The best!
