Reviews of professor John Rinciari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Rinciari was an overall great professor, but you have to make sure to take notes during the lectures. Tests are on information from both online textbooks and in-class lectures. Although some things on the test you will have not learned and won't find them in the book. Despite that, he doesn't require attendance and does make-up tests.

Professor Rianciari was good. He knows his material, and everyone engaged in discussion. There was not much class work and tests only, which was troubling. However, as long as you take notes, come to class, and study, you should be fine.

I had him for 3/4 classes last semester. He will put stuff from the textbook on the test that he doesn't teach in class, but will tell you the chapters to read. We had 3-4 tests including final, and 3-4 writing assignments around 4 pgs. Only downside to him is his lectures can be a bit boring. Very understanding guy. Study and you will do fine.

Just like the other reviews say, the lectures are extremely boring and does not cover material on the exams. Study guides are not provided either, so make sure you read the chapters. The only thing that makes it easy to have a good grade in this class are the 3 other assignments.

So far, this has been my favorite sociology class. Multiple choice tests can be challenging but are based on the PowerPoint lectures and readings from the book. Professor Rinciari is accommodating, flexible, passionate, & has a sense of humor. If you're alive in 2022, you should take this course. You'll enjoy it if you have an interest in content.

My first impression of him was that he was BORING. He plays a lot of boring videos and rambles the whole time. A lot of the stuff he talks about in class is barely on the tests. The written assignments were the easiest things we had to do...

Honestly, to give Rinciari some credit, he's a very kind and understanding professor. However, his lectures tend to mostly consist of rambling and you'll watch a lot of videos. If you take his class, the textbook will be your best friend for the tests. Other than that, be prepared to write a few easy papers and you'll do just fine.
