Yes I received an A in this class but for an "easy" ethnic course this class was lowkey insufferable. Didn't have a canvas course until the second week, lectures were usually about his polyamorous relationships or how he's been to jail twice. Like chill professor but class was hard to get an A in because the tests were all textbook (not in lec)

Just don't do it. Extreamly incapable of lecturing, the TA's are more helpful

Prof. Mosi is a very unorthodox professor, in terms of both his behavior and style of lecture. He was difficult to follow at first, but he has incredible knowledge and passion for sociology and often references other topics, frequently philosophy and history. Lectures are not directly related to exams, but are still very interesting.

He was incredibly disorganized and didn't have the canvas page set up for over a month. He was also incoherent in the lecture and would often get sidetracked and just tell random stories or statistics with little explanation. Lots of yelling and profanity, and he would smoke a cart in class. He brought his dog, though, which was awesome.

Walks around barefoot, most of lecture is just pictures and hippie stories from when he was a kid, didn't tell us we didn't have to buy the textbook until the first day of class and didn't get the Canvas set up until a month later, and we didn't get a TA for half the semester. Nice part though is that he brings his dog. Sometimes he vapes in class

i dont know why people rate him poorly because he tests on the textbook. youd know that if youd bother to read the syllabus or listen when he talks about the exam. his lectures are supplementary material and you can tell he cares about students taking away something from the class, however, i found it was hard to follow if you stop paying attention

I think as a person he would be very amusing to befriend, but in class his lectures snowball and he gets easily sidetracked. He tests on the textbook, but doesn't lecture about anything in the book, so you will have to stay up to date either through assignments or readings. overall, His amazing TAs are the reason people pass this class.

Mosi was entertaining as a professor but really did not teach in lectures. We learned mostly from the textbook and TAs. The exams were based on the textbook only.

He is very unorganized, and the lectures are not helpful at all for the course. Lectures are difficult to understand and hard to follow because the material does not follow the textbook or show up in exams.

He does not care about his students and relies heavily on his TA's to do everything. He did not bother to show up to any exams. There are two exams that account for 50% of your grade and are very detailed. He lectures on materials outside of the textbook but both exams are only on textbook materials- it makes no sense. I would not recommend.

Our TA should have been paid more than the professor. Lecture had nothing to do with the course description and exams were based almost completely on the readings. Every single lecture was a guest speaker and attendance was required. Apparently, this course rotates between professors and it was clear due to how unorganized this course was.

Exams do not correlate to lecture, yet lecture is required as 10 percent of your grade. Lecture was on sort of supplemental readings, while exams were only based on the textbook. You have two exams that count for the majority of your grade. If you don't mind reading the textbook and taking rather extensive notes on it, then you should be fine.

Professor Ifatunji is very disorganized, and relay's heavily on the TA to do most of the work for the class. Professor was not available much and directed most of the questions to the TA. Definitely would recommend avoiding him at all costs. Even for easy classes, he makes them harder than they need to be and they become a headache.

He is very hard to follow in lecture and lectures are basically all quotes that he puts on the screen and reads out loud. He is not clear with explaining.

Professor VERY conceited. "My time is more valuable than yours." Midterms/finals almost completely based off textbook reading, but never specified what you should know other than "vocab". Tests have direct quotes from textbook & authors of studies from class. Attendance not mandatory, but weekly reflections on lecture topics. Will cold-call daily.

He is very funny and makes class interesting. He gets to the point and makes the introduction class easy so students can get an A while still deepening their understanding of the subject. He's a super cool professor the class is worth taking!

I really enjoyed this class content in class, but often the textbook did not directly correlate to the class material. Our tests are either completely out of the textbook or completely out of the blue. The class was cancelled often and the online setup was often hard to navigate. It would have been a great class if these topics were intertwined.

Everything in this class is online. You have a vocab quiz and short writing(graded easy) once a week, both of which are on Canvas. The midterm and final is also on Canvas. Buy the test bank for the textbook and memorize all the questions. Every test question is from there. You literally don't need to read or go to class except for the mid and final

Although the prof is a nice guy and clearly very knowledgeable, the course was organized poorly and what should be easy material is made to be hard. The midterm exam tested your test-taking skills more than your knowledge of the content since it came from the textbook publisher. Weighted heavily on few things and requires A LOT of reading.
