This class was very boring. He lectures the whole time (powerpoint slides online), and a little difficult to understand but overall i would take this class again. i did not do any of the readings, and only went to a few discussions and still passed. There are 3 pop up quizzes based on quotes and the last one was fill in the black, 1 in class midterm (2 essays) and a take home final (4-5pgs). 1% extra credit for survey at the end of the class. He is really nice and sweet. The discussions were more boring than the class. We formed a group and answered questions and shared with the rest of the class. Definitely better than a lot of other professors that teach Soc 101. I recommend you take it with him or Jepson!

Enjoyed this class immensely! Professor Bargheer is very nice and he responds to emails. I would take again in a heartbeat, not sure what my final grade is yet, but I aced the midterm and the quizzes are easy if you do the reading. I highly recommend him.

Bargheer is so nice! The class has lots of readings since you read older works of Sociology. I got an A- for the class when I thought I was getting a B. Grades on: 3 Pop Quizzes (They are easy and won't hurt you), Midterm (In Class, 2 short ssays) and Final (Take Home, two 5 Page Essays). The readings can get difficult but the TA's will help you understand them. I think my TA was a rough grader cause I think I deserved better grades from the midterm and final lol. Take this class with Bargheer or Jepson! I hear both are good . PLFs help too if you are in AAP! I am a first year and I would recommend this class (Remember that I got an A-). I did not stress much about the class tbh
