Honestly, it is not an very easy course, but I won't say it is hard, either. You must go to lecture (which is hard since it starts at 8:50 am), And You MUST read the book. Get a general idea of powerweb reading. And be sure you go to the discussion before the exam. You will get at least a B in this class.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/130424","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:31:44.202426+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTE1MjQyMjQ2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:130424","instructor_name":"John Delamater","course_label":"SOC160","course_id":"PSYCH/SOC 160","course_uid":"course_bafe6aa03883a1ec886b472f","review_date":"2008-12-19 11:01:53 +0000 UTC","comment":"the beginning of the class was really fun..good lectures and interesting material..but it gets boring at the end because he teaches it straight from the book..VERY hard tests--you have to study or you will fail...average score on a test is about a 35/60 but it's curved","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/130424","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:31:44.202426+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTE1MjA4ODcz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:130424","instructor_name":"John Delamater","course_label":"SOC160","course_id":"PSYCH/SOC 160","course_uid":"course_bafe6aa03883a1ec886b472f","review_date":"2008-12-16 13:06:23 +0000 UTC","comment":"Anyone who thinks this class is hard should not be in college!
