Reviews of professor Ryan Sporer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall did not like having him as a professor. He assigns papers with vague directions that did not really relate to what we were learning in class. Long readings before every class and random quizzes on the readings (weren't hard) but you had to read a bit to know the answers. Did not feel like I got a good understanding of environmental sociolog

He was really nice! He makes the topic interesting! He has reading quizzes for every class. He does NOT post his lectures or power points online. But very nice! Would take again!

Dr. Sporer is a good professor that wants his students to succeed. He does not give any exams, but there is a lot of reading and a reading quiz almost every class. He lectures a lot during class and I didn't even take notes since there were no exams and I got an A. He mainly wants you to focus on applying sociology to your own life.

Dr. Sporer is a great professor. His class is difficult, but it is a 400 level class so I wouldn't expect anything less. However, he does the best he can to make it interesting. He gives you opportunities throughout the semester for extra credit points and he has no tests in his class. Participation is key!

lots of reading and reading quizzes, not hard though. gives credit for participation so answer questions. big book review due at end of the semester, LOTS of work with that, if you dont want to read a whole book and give a multiple-page synopsis, dont take this class. other than that great guy, very friendly
