Reviews of professor Nicholas Cragoe

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Cragoe does a good job lecturing. But, he does not teach what is on the test-that is up to you to study from the textbook. He is very passionate about what he does! Overall good professor, but the tests are very difficult.

I would never recommend him. He does not know how to teach and when he does lecture, it is full of opinions. There is always an excuse as to why he is tired. Everything is brief and you're expected to know it immediately. He always says to ask questions but the syllabus says to never email him until other options to find your answer are exhausted.

He isn't clear on what he expects on assignments. He went through lectures fast and the examples that he gave were not helpful at all. We have to read a chapter and do an assignment that is due on Sunday at midnight. These assignments aren't helpful when trying to learn the material.

If you read the book and fill out the reading guides and study from them for the tests you'll do well. There are attendance quizzes every day, 4 easy reflection papers, and 4 exams. Also there is no final. The class is easy if you go to class and do a little bit of work. Would definitely recommend Cragoe.

A solid choice for SOC 150. He has interesting lectures, productive class discussions and reasonable tests. If you attend class, read the chapters and fill out the study guide, you'll be good to go. The amount of reading is super manageable: often 15-20 page chapters.

Lectures are very boring and you have responses due every Sunday night. He is a tough grader and not specific on when things are usually do. He also takes attendance every class but you do get 3 free days to skip.

Very intelligent, makes learning fun, lots of class discussions which personally helped me understand a lot. His goal is to help you understand, he makes sure to have times for after class questions and lots of office hours. Very understanding and knowledgable on different cultures/the subject he teaches.

He is a good teacher but relies too heavily on discussion to carry this lecture class. Half of it is his teaching and the other half is him waiting for someone to respond to the discussion and asking the same question over and over again. Reading quizzes at the beginning of each class are incredibly hard and messed up my total grade in the class.

A fair grader with reasonable expectations, he also takes student feedback quite seriously in order to provide the best experience possible. As someone that likes to procrastinate, I found the workload to be very easy to handle.

EDIT: The workload is reasonable, but the readings and responses can feel a bit tedious at times.
