Reviews of professor Phillip Lewis

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This Professor has a no-technology policy and slides aren't posted so you must hand-write notes/all the information on the slides in class. It is graded with 5 exams so you have to score well to get an A. The best way to study would be by memorizing the notes from class, readings are assigned but notes are enough. Skipping class can disrupt grades.

Class is 5 exams no HW. Textbook is not needed, but can help. You NEED to attend to do well or you will suffer during the exams. The questions are easy, but come right from lectures. Make sure to memorize names of concepts and sociologists. He is a good lecturer, but don't expect any flexibility if you miss an exam.

Professor Lewis was outstanding in my opinion. The no phone and laptop rules may suck for some, but I found it to be helpful. I retain the information better when I listen and write AND it forces me to pay attention to his lectures that the exams are 100% based off of. You have 5 exams that make up your grade. It is easy if you simply show up.

If you don't attend class it's very hard to pass. But lectures aren't boring. Take good notes

Social Problems is my favorite class ever. Professor Lewis uses meaningful topics that makes me want to come to class every week. Much better than most of my other classes this semester.

Professor Lewis is a great example of what a university professor should be. If you are a good example of a university student, you will thrive. Go to class and do the readings. It is shown he cares about teaching the information and it is kept interesting by sporadic comedy.

Professor Lewis is a great professor if willing to attend class since he does not allow technology and notes are written by hand (not bad at all.) Exams are easy and no surprises. The information is very straight forward. Took him for intro to sociology and social problems both very great classes! highly recommend taking his class.

Professor Lewis is a great professor, he is strict about his classes, but it only helps you get the most out of it. All of the topics we studied were actually really interesting and I never felt bored in the class. As long as you take good notes in class and study well for the exams, you'll have no problem doing well in this class.

Make a genuine effort, and you'll get an A regardless of the quality of what you end up making. He can tell how much work you put into something, and how much you care. He just KNOWS. He also gave me a plant. 10/10

make sure you write down all of his lecture notes. he doesn't give out his slides and he only has 4 tests based on films that's easy to remember. no phones or computers tho. just make sure you study and i personally didn't get a textbook, you don't really need it. his tests are based on lectures and the films. overall, not bad.
