Reviews of professor Rick Eckstein

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Eckstein is a really nice guy who always keeps you laughing. He is super straight forward about assignments (readings mostly) and the class time is usually a discussion. His tests are multiple choice but I think they're pretty difficult. He packs in a lot of participation points so I'm not too worried about my grade, but he's an awesome dude.

Favorite professor ever. He is such a good introduction to sociology and genuinely cares so much for the topic. Only 3 tests so you need to do well, but if you take notes during class you should have no issues.

Dr. Rick's class is lecture-based but not boring, he really does his best to keep students engaged. He uses novels instead of textbooks and although you can get by w/o much reading I recommend getting the books (electronic/physical) bc you get to use them on the test. Attendance policy is the same as the university's. He also only gives 3 tests.

I like his class because the content itself is interesting and he's a funny dude. Prepare to be entertained. However I hated his exams because the multiple choice didn't make any sense and it sucks for people who are good at standardized exams but bad at his quizzes. Otherwise he makes you make connections btwn sports, prisons, and sociology.

Dr. Eckstein is a fantastic professor. He brings up interesting topics in his lectures and encourages class participation. He's also very funny and his tests are mostly multiple choice with one writing component at the end. Would definitely recommend taking his class.
