Reviews of professor Randall Salm

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really enjoyed my time with Dr. Salm. He is a great professor to take if you want to really learn and discuss the topics of sociology. I will admit that his lecturing can be a little boring, but when he opens up a dialog between himself and the class it is very insightful. Don't take him if you're looking for an easy A. You will learn sociology.

Dr. Salm makes simple ideas more complicated than they should be by having you write needless papers for simple topics. He accused 1/2 the class of plagarism for improper citing. His class doesn't really have a clear structure and will leave you confused as what to do. I give him credit for would be to make the class engaging and offers recovery.

This is the second class I've taken from Dr. Salm. I wish I had learned my lesson the first time and gone with a different professor. He is an incredibly difficult grader and expects your papers to be spot on while only giving a rough outline of what he wants. If you're thinking about taking one of his classes as a random prerequisite, don't.

I took his winter class and there was a big chunk of hw every 3 days. He gives time for holidays and leaves really good feedback on your assignments. Just make sure to look over in Content for discussion examples and term paper examples. He gives clear criteria and as long as you stick to it you're good. Use chegg study to help study for his exams.
