Reviews of professor William Norris

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He is an easy professor. Show up to lecture and he tells you what the questions on the exam will be. The exams were written, but open note. Also he gives a couple of essays bu if you want to get a good grade on the essay, send a rough draft to him. He will give you detailed feedback. Other than that it was an easy course to pass.

SOO BORING! Not a hard class, unless you don't go. Gives you study guides for exams but they don't help much unless you go to lecture and pay attention. His voice is irritating. Every week there is a quiz. There are 2 exams(matching, multiple choice, essay), two papers(take time to do), and a final. Take sociology online, it is soo much easier.

His lectures are mostly the power points that he posts online, but he does specify and explain most of what will be on the exams in class. All of the exams are all fully written not including the final. He expects small details in answers and assignments, but doesnt assign much work. Effort is needed to pass. Great funny guy!

HIs class was always super boring. He handed out study guides for the exams and it didn't give much guidance. His lectures were long and drug out, I am surprised that no one fell asleep during his lectures. All the notes are online and we had weekly quizzes online as well

He is very nice He would answer every question you have. His class is not easy, you have to work hard to get an A. There is a quiz every week and it is timed with no retakes. The quizzes are not easy but if you watch his more than an hour lectures you would be fine. the quiz is 20 min and it is 20 questions. Also, too much work too.

The book you use is online and free. Prof Norris is awesome. He really cares about his students success. I recommend him 100% and would take him again. If you reach out to him, he WILL help you. Just show effort and he will make sure you succeed (obviously you still have to do your part,too)

Had a weekly quizzes but they don't seem hard as he would always go above and beyond to help us, be it with responding to emails fast, or helping you understand something that would be common knowledge in a very simple and easy way!! Will pass his class if you take notes and study at least once a week for two hours. Good Luck!!
