if you want to get better at writing this is your guy... seriously Professor Hammes will help you get there. yes it may seem like lots of work but once you focus and do what you have to do it seems right. he is very detail in his feedback ( this is a good thing people!!). overall if you want to improve your writing do not think twice.

Very sweet and chill professor! Also not a hard grader at all. We had 2 quizzes, maybe 5 graded hw agns, 2 short essays, midterm, final, & short presentation based on theories but all super simple .

Really cool guy. There's a lot of reading (3 small books) and gives a couple of open note quizzes on them. Attendance is important since he reviews each chapter in class. Midterm and final are a "menu of social deviance theories" which we add to throughout the semester via the readings. 1 class presentation. Just read, participate, and you'll pass!

Prof. Hammes is such a caring, sweet person. He explains all of his assignments thoroughly and the textbooks he uses are interesting to read. His lectures are relatable to everyday life so you won't be bored with them.

Professor Hammes is so passionate in the topics he covers. He didn't assign that many assignments- two writing responses, 3 Friday writings, a presentation summary, a presentation and a paper. He lectures a lot but everything he talked about was interesting. The only thing I would've appreciated is more clarification on our paper- but he's great!

He structures this class mostly around historical readings that are so long and not clear. He expects you to understand it just from reading it on your own which is impossible. The readings are hard to get into. There's no notes in the class. 3 papers 3-4 pages and a few reflections. All lecture based which hard readings.

One of the best professors at John jay. (If not THE BEST). If you want to learn, have fun and actually enjoy the class, you need professor Hammes in your life !

Solid Professor. No major complaints about him. Theres a lot of reading. Be prepared to read a lot and participate based off of those readings. The class only really moves when theres good participation. Do the work, the readings, & participate a good amount and youll get an A no problem. Not a difficult class at all, besides all the reading.

By far one of the best professors I've taken at John Jay. Cares about his students and his work. I HAD to take him again for SOC440 bc he's so good. He deserves much more recognition. Highly recommend him! Easy work, easy grade. Cant get more simply than that.
