Reviews of professor Jordan Besek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Probably the best professor Ive had so far. Clearly loves what hes teaching. Dont be scared off by group work! Its simple and easy. Hes extremely understanding and tries his best to look at his class from the perspective of his students. No tests, but you do have to write a few papers.

Jordan is a nice guy and loves what he is teaching. His gives pop quizzes and random attendance which is 15% percent of your overall grade. You also have to rent/buy all of the movies. Some are great some are mediocre. No cell phone or electronic use during lecture.

Jordan planned this course very well. Every week a new concept is introduced and you take notes, in-between classes you watch the assigned movie, and next class you get with groups to write how it relates to the concept of the week. 2 response papers and one final paper. NO EXAMS. DOWNSIDE: you have to rent or purchase all the movies in syllabus.

Lectures can be a bit boring and drag, but overall a very interesting class. Liked the group work and movies, and was graded on a few papers and journals. Overall easy pathway just can be a bit long of a lecture, but he provides chances for extra credit.

Avoid this clas! It was aweful and as for the pop quizzes if you dont read then youre doomed. I had awful group memebers so I had to do majority of the assignment by myself. Unless its required, dont take this class.

Overall, Jordan is a good teacher. He makes clear what you'll be graded on, and although there are a lot of readings and a few papers to write, the assignments are not difficult. Go to class for pop quizzes and attendance sheets-these will definitely help you gain easy points to your final grade. Tests are easy if you study what he says too!!

Amazing! Clearly passionate about what he teaches and is truly invested in the success of his students. Definitely a class in which you'll get out of it as much as you're willing to put in.

He will let students talk for the entire class period about unrelated class content. Class is full of movie buffs who are dying to speak rather than students of sociology. We get it. You have watched movies.

This is one of the only professors who's lectures I genuinely enjoy. Quiz questions are a bit hard but you can do well with studying.
