Reviews of professor Howard Sokol

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's such a nice guy! he's super smart and knows a lot about what he teaches. He really tries to connect with the class as much as he can. Things have been different because of COVID so his class was really lecture heavy, but not bad at all. I would definitely have him as a professor again!

His ratings on here are confusing and I doubted myself when registering for his class because of it. He is literally so chill and tells you exactly what to study for the tests. He's not what these bad reviews say. I had a great experience.

He is clearly knowledgeable about law but honestly just reads off of the powerpoint the whole semester. He only has 3 tests the whole semester (one of which is the final) & no homework or quizzes so these tests are your only grades. He tells stories all the time and tries to relate them to what he is talking about which helps but sometimes doesn't.

I took the class online. There was just a paper and an exam for every module but both were pretty straightforward. Papers are not graded harshly and he gives you a list of PowerPoint slides to study for tests. There is a textbook but I never read a page of it and I was fine

I do not know why Professor Sokol has such a low rating. He graded fairly, and though the tests covered many chapters, he let us know which slides to study. He is knowledgeable, and if you put in the work, you will definitely do fine.

This class is straight forward. There are 5 essays and 4 quizzes and a final exam. Essays are straight forward and quizzes are exactly like powerpoints, and he even tells you which slides to study. Very simple class and nice professor.
