Reviews of professor Oscar Soto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Profeeee! Approachable inside and outside of class. Gives you a different perspective on how we see society today. Not a difficult class, but very lecture and video heavy. Doesn't use a rubric, which is a little difficult because I am not used to so much freedom in class. One-sided course, but warns us that we have been socialized to think this way

Such an amazing professor!! Gives three written assignments, but allows you to combine the three assignments for final paper! Videos, PowerPoints, and lectures were fun and gave a different perspective of the world we live! He gave us the freedom to choose any topic which goes against every class I have ever taken!! I strongly recommend this prof!

By far the best class I have taken at UCSB. Genuinely cares about students success and really wants students to be successful in his class. Two quizzes, two critical papers, one presentation and one final paper! He allows you to work on your paper throughout the class. Will definitely take profe Soto again!!

The coolest professor at UCSB by far. His Gauchospace is very artsy and animated, unlike anything I have ever seen in my three years here. Very accessible outside his office hours. Allows you to research anything you are interested in, but has to be relevant to class material. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR! Will definitely take his SOC170 class!

One of the most caring and atypical professors at UCSB. Doesn't believe in the hierarchies of academia, so he treats you like a human being not a student. Lecture heavy supplemented by videos. Three papers, presentation and final paper. Love that there was no rubric, which allowed me to research whatever I wanted. Highly recommend this professor.

Caring and all around a good person. Very funny and also gives a different perspective on social deviance. Very knowledgeable about the subject, and critical about the system of capitalism we live in today. 2 quizzes, 2 short papers, 1 final paper and 1 presentation. All cumulative and lets you research what you want. I LOVED THIS CLASSS!!!

Loved prof Soto. He's so kind and funny, the lectures are simple and the main work was discussion posts each week. I had no confusion with anything and he's an easy grader on the midterm and final, which are either projects or papers (you choose). Definitely take him!!

Wow! Great professor, person, and human. You can tell he loves to teach. Quizzes, papers, and presentation all relevant to oppression. Wish we could discuss more!
