Todd is a great professor-- I just really didn't like the structure of the class. The semester-long group project is nearly impossible to collaborate on, and I really didn't know what was going on half the time.Rate My Professors ↗

Todd was a very enjoyable professor for soc140. He seems to really care for his students and I enjoyed how he offered many ways to earn extra credit. The class is also pretty low effort which I really like. As long as you do the readings (they take about an hour so not bad) and listen to the class discussion, you will excel. Also no exams!Rate My Professors ↗

Todd is a really nice and likable guy but the format for this class is a little bit odd. The lectures are essentially group discussions and instead of midterms and a final exam, there are biweekly quizzes which are definitely difficult. The discussion section is very demanding with a very difficult and heavily weighted project.Rate My Professors ↗

Todd was a good professor. He cares about his students, but his style is very different from most. The pod setup and class lecture are practically a discussion for the whole period, but the content is interesting. Be sure to ask questions if you are confused about the bi-weekly quizzes. They're worded weirdly and easy to do poorly on.Rate My Professors ↗

He is a nice guy and cares about his students. Its about 15 pages of easy reading for two days/week takes like 2 hours max/week. Lectures are participation based with students talking instead of him. The quizzes are tough but if you do the readings you will do well. A bad thing is that instead of a final, there is a group project but its easy.Rate My Professors ↗
