Reviews of professor Jorge Derpic

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I absolutely loved this class! Jorge is so passionate about teaching and this subject, and he creates an open environment of mutual learning where he learns from us as much as we learn from him. Honestly, if you either do the readings or show up for class, it's an easy A

Take this prof if you ever get the chance!! Class is primarily discussion based and only graded on quizzes, participation, midterm, final, and one assignment. All readings are discussed in depth in class so you don't have to worry about reading super tediously. Such a kind prof and all tests/quizzes are easy if you study the ppts.

Really easy quizzes and paper assignments. Gives super clear directions of what he wants and do that while trying to add onto discussions and an A is very manageable.

Great class, and also about average difficulty with extra credit opportunities. In-class is discussion oriented and very engaging. Jorge is easy to communicate with, kind, and very understanding. I have nothing bad to say about my experiences with this class. You will have to write some papers, do in class quizzes, and take exams. That's it.

Really engaging and involved lectures, and like to include students in discussions about sociology. Even if the students aren't interested, he knows how to make the class interesting.

He is a really good teacher and likes this subject a lot. There is a lot of in class discussions. His tests and quizzes are relatively easy and very fair.

Dr. Derpic is amazing, truly passionate about the subject. I enjoyed the class, i would recommend taking it, assignments are good, you can get an A in the course if you put in the work.

Lectures are very informative and its clear that he knows what he's talking about! Readings are short and interesting and if you don't participate in class, there's a discussion board you can post to to get that credit. There's also a lot of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and most are pretty fun/interesting

Hes a really nice person and genuinely cares about his subject and it shows. He's a good intro professor and is pretty straightforward. The tests and quizzes aren't bad and neither are the reflections. Only flaw would be that he's very one sided with discussions. Like discussions are just one large echo chamber and its just pointless.

Love Professor Derpic! His lectures are super engaging, clearly cares a lot about his students, and not much work in the class except a couple of papers and relatively easy tests/quizzes. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in sociology, especially from a Latin American perspective! Discussion-heavy class but so fun

Class was very disorganized. Ridiculous amounts of readings. Still, very passionate about the subject taught and caring with students.
