Reviews of professor Daniel Petrin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
lectures get a bit boring but not a hard class. expectations and grading criteria clear early on, accessible outside of class, listens to student feedback. I went to the final exam 45 minutes late bc I was trying to get Harry Styles tickets and he didn't care. he gives extra credit sometimes if there are not a lot of students in attendance that day

Professor Petrin has very low expectations but expects participation. Very generous with the workload, only one chapter a week and a quiz to go along with it, and only three 1.5 page reflection papers. In his class, you don't memorize, you LEARN.

With being online, the only work you will do with this professor is a quiz every week and occasionally a reflection paper but that is it

This professor is a really laid back guy but still he's very fair. Show up to class because lecture material is usually on quizzes/exams. He gives extra credit for attendance. Some ectures are boring but he's well educated in the area of of crim and socs. Homework was reading chapters weekly, and a quiz or two a month along w/ an essay a month.

One of my favorite professors. The content I learned two semesters ago has stuck with me long after I finished the class. His study guides tell you everything you will need to know to be prepared for the exam. He is a teacher who could be teaching at a much higher level school. (no hate to CCRI thank you for the two free years xoxo)

The only bad thing is lectures are boring, but he gives bonus points for attendance. Petrins mannerisms remind me of Spencer from Criminal Minds. Petrin likes statistics so he will use them to help the class succeed. The class is tough because, well, its sociology, but if you have Petrin, youre gonna be in good hands if you do the work.

He's okay I guess. Good person and can be funny. As others say, lectures are boring and a little slow. He's also not really clear on expectations at times, he usually just makes me lost on what to do. Just be prepared to work your butt off, lots of writing and quizzes in this class, gotta work for it if you wanna pass.

Amazing professor. Very lecture heavy, but extremely knowledgable on what he's talking about. Quizzes were taken online with a time limit, but if you paid attention in class, you'll do well. Four short essays based on additional readings that he provides, that he will help you with if you attend his office hours. Such an interesting professor

Reading one chapter a week. Two tests and three papers per semester. Very knowledgeable in his area and very nice person overall, but pretty dry lectures. Tests are mostly lecture based so show up to class. Also go to office hours for feedback before submitting papers as he can very particular.
