He is very disorganized. He is very vague about the project. I prefer structure.

Good

Robert's class was a hot mess this semester. One of the students was accused of cheating so Robert made the final an easy essay. He takes a while to grade things and some of the work never showed up. He gave us 5 exams and weekly discussion posts. Relax, you only have to do 8 out of 14.

This class is certainly not a simple A. You need to stay aware of the readings and talks so as to do fair on the test. A portion of the tests are somewhat hard, regardless of whether you do this. You likewise need to do talk posts for generally weeks. The main reason I got an A is on the grounds that I did well on the research project, He additionally offered a couple of points of ex. credit, it's because I did well on the research project that makes me got an A.

Professor Mackin has a fairly easy online course. He was an okay professor but not the nicest man. The online lectures were interesting and he only makes 8 discussion posts for the semester. Big event paper at the end of the semester is graded way too tough considering the few instructions you're given.

DO NOT recommend Professor Mackin for this class. He made the tasks harder then much more harder then they needed to be.The tests are so hard and you barley have any time to complete it and it really brings your grade down. The last test is free response and essay based.

Prof. Mackin takes forever to post grades. I actually submitted an essay 2 months ago and I still have no idea what I got even though we are nearing the end of the sem. For an online class, it is a lot of work. I wouldn't recommend taking him.

This class was an average sociology class with some interesting and thought-provoking lectures. It's quite hard to get a hold of him but he's helpful once you did. It's very easy to forget to do his discussions but you just have to set a reminder for it. They aren't challenging as long as you read/listen to the lectures. This is a good choice for a relatively easy socio course!
