He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. Lecture is more of a discussion but it helps make the info clear. Exams are a little difficult but if you do the reading and listen in lecture you should do fine and he curves the class at the end. I would take a class with him again for fun!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1749013","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:17:55.066068+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyMDE3MTg4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1749013","instructor_name":"Michael Massoglia","course_label":"SOC441","course_id":"SOC 441","course_uid":"course_c5c70ab310ccd9fa991e83e6","review_date":"2013-08-01 17:22:55 +0000 UTC","comment":"Really good professor, treats students well.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1749013","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:17:55.066068+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyMDE3MTU0","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1749013","instructor_name":"Michael Massoglia","course_label":"SOC441","course_id":"SOC 441","course_uid":"course_c5c70ab310ccd9fa991e83e6","review_date":"2013-08-01 17:16:07 +0000 UTC","comment":"He sincerely cared about the student experience in the class and tried hard to remember/understand what life is like for students.

His classes are really just giant discussions,and if it weren't for the fact that attendance in lecture counts towards your grade, I would not have gone to a single class.
