Majority of the lectures were online but this class is really straightforward. The reading and lecture slides go over the same things and the test questions were taken directly from the lecture slides. He showed a lot of cool videos and told a lot of stories that were really interesting. There was a short summary of the readings due every week and one short paper at the end of the quarter where you interview someone about their job. Overall, I learned a lot and it's a pretty easy class. I would definitely recommend taking it!

This is my second time taking Professor Sigmon and I enjoyed it! The class itself is broken down into discussion participation (for discussions + weekly writing assignments), midterm, paper, and a final. Lectures are non-mandatory where Prof Sigmon goes over the slides, which he makes available at the end of each week on BruinLearn. I think you can do just fine with the slides yourself, but going to class really helps with retaining that information and he does expand on concepts, so if you're confused, that's helpful. He bases his lectures on weekly readings, which are also what your writing assignments will be based on and what you'll discuss in discussion sections, where attendance is mandatory. The readings can be big, but they're interesting, and that's kind of to be expected in any Soc class!

For this class, the topics were always engaging and reflected past and current trends in the sociology of work. The paper requires you to interview someone about their job to determine if it is "good" or "bad" based on provided criteria. It's fairly straightforward and not too hard. The midterm and final both had mostly multiple choice and T/F with one or two written answer questions. Some of the questions were phrased a little weird to me, but if you're taking notes in lecture / on the slides and reading the materials, it's not hard to do well. It's a really interesting class and Professor Sigmon does a good job of making sense of readings that are particularly dense or hard to navigate.

Super light class. Midterm and final were so easily as long as you study and do the readings. Readings weren't bad and were doable. He provides a study guide for midterm and final. He's chill and a funny professor.
You have weekly discussion posts based on the readings ~500 words.
1 midterm
1 5 page paper on someone's job [also super easy]
1 final
10 discussion posts

This class was super interesting and very engaging. As a Sociology major, I found this class to be super easy and very applicable to the real world. Every week you have a one-page, double-spaced, summary reading due to your TAs and discussion is mandatory, you have one free miss. There is a midterm and final. There is also a paper on the quality of a job that someone you know has. I would definitely recommend this class!
