Reviews of professor Robert McConnell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very interesting guy but the class was easy enough. Just pay attention to lectures and do the readings and you should do well. There's six exams total, including the final, and a weekly quiz (all online). He's pretty funny and really loves to talk. Would definitely take his class again!

I took this class because it was a gen ed for my major. I read the reviews and thought he'd be a good teacher. I was wrong. 80% of your grades come from the tests alone which right now has an average of under a 70 for the class. He says that he gives no curve or extra credit which so far he seems firm on that. His lectures are difficult to follow.

I hate to do this because he's very nice, but I would not recommend taking him. His powerpoints are mostly pictures and quotes, so you have to take notes just off of what he says. He's very engaging but the lectures are still boring and the tests are very hard. This class should be an easy A, but it's my lowest grade right now.

This class is extremely boring and the exams are way too hard. He does not review anything for exams and does not even tell you when they are, he just expects you to know. I would avoid him at all costs because this should be an interesting and easy topic. Although I do think he has good intentions, for such a simple topic he makes it much too hard

Very interesting personality and good music taste but his teaching style is very slow and can get relatively boring along with the dull lecture slides. Tests are on paper and are fairly difficult. The whole topic of sociology itself is very bland and confusing so I don't even recommend taking this class in general unless required for your major.

Be prepared to teach yourself the material, he doesn't give any help for preparation for the exams. The entire class had an 60% average for tests. Wish I withdrawed.

His slides aren't super detailed so it is important to take notes on his lectures, but if you do that and study the key points it's not hard to be successful on the tests! He is very passionate about sociology and does his best to make lectures entertaining.
