Winter 2023 - Professor Sexton is great, and this was one of my favorite classes at UCLA! This class provided opportunities for me to develop and strengthen important critical reading and writing skills, oral communication and listening skills, and research and data collection skills. I believe it has had a significant positive impact on my academic growth. The research project is a large portion of the grade. It was done throughout the course of the quarter, and involved conducting interviews, attending observational visits, collecting field notes, presenting an in-class presentation, and writing a research paper. This class, and especially this project, challenged me to apply my knowledge in a real-world context, to think critically, and it expanded my opportunities to establish connections both inside and outside of UCLA, all due to Professor Sexton. He provides ample guidance and support throughout the research process, and is overall an engaging and inspiring professor. Beyond the classroom, Professor Sexton is continually committed to supporting students in pursuit of their higher education. Definitely take this class if you are looking for ways to increase your academic experiences, and develop valuable skills.

Fall 2021 - Professor Sexton's class is one that is fundamentally fascinating and is one that is appealing for not only sociology majors or adherents, but of anyone one whom desires the history and realities that surround religion and its impacts throughout time. I was very satisfied with the course and my favourite part was the research paper of which was an ethnographic paper of a religion of our choice in relation to sustainability. That in itself was an interesting correlation of topics and made one choose something they may have already had knowledge of or allowed one to gain knowledge of. In overall class structure, it was a very broad and this was shown with the differing topics of every week, differing three books throughout the quarter, and with the numerous guest speakers that came to class on significant bases. Nevertheless, this course was one that is fascinating and should be good for a person that indeed enjoys theology in its many vast forms. But, it is a course that does require individual motive towards reading and its topics, however with the professor and the TA's; such should be of no problem as they were all very accommodating and involved in my personal experience throughout the whole quarter and that in itself makes the professor a rare as well as exceptional character whom really is striving for his students academic, professional , and even personal successes.

Winter 2020 - This is a really awesome professor who offers a unique insight to the Sociology department. Some of his assigned readings were a bit lengthy and dense, but the professor and T.A. helped me in understanding the material. The class consisted of two written exams (mid-term and final), weekly question and answer homework, and one research paper. The pandemic did begin at the end of this class which disrupted everything. However, the professor was very considerate and lenient. Definitely would take a class with this professor again!!
