Sociology was the first GE that I took here at UCLA, and definitely one that I would take again. Speer was an engaging professor who really tried to help us understand the material he was presenting. In addition, his TA's were all top notch and really helped clarify anything that we didn't get in class. Soc 1 was a great class, and I would definitely take this again.

Would definitely take this class again. Professor Speer is an amazing lecturer and is young so he understands students better than older professors. The material is a tad confusing but he does a good job of getting you to read and comprehend through homework questions that are very specific to the readings!

The class was very straightforward. If you do homework and study, you can easily get an A.

Easy class in the summer sessions. Seems much reading but professor provides questions to guide you. Easy midterm and final that you only need to spend a couple of hours to remember the stuff and the questions are basic. Majority of the students get an A. Recommend this class.

Literally the easiest class at ucla. TAKE THIS CLASS. The midterm and final consist of matching, multiple choice, and fill in the blanks. This is an EASY A class. You can do minimum work and be fine. Just memorize things and pay attention in discussion!

Professor Speer's class was by far one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. He puts all of the slides online and gives study guides for the paper, midterm, and final (which is non cumulative). We also had one paper, but he gives you basically free reign on the topic and how you want to go about writing it.
There is weekly reading and questions which can get pretty dense, but it's pretty interesting. It's clear that he's passionate about sociology and clearly explains all concepts during lecture. Participation counts; you have to participate three times during the quarter to get full credit.

Definitely take this class. Professor Speer makes his lectures extremely clear and if you come to class and take notes, you will do well on the exams. The weekly readings can get dense, but are usually pretty interesting.

One of the best classes I have taken at UCLA. So relevant to current events and so interesting to learn about the evolution of race and how ultimately race is socially constructed. Not to mention my TA was actually the GOAT. Joauquin is the best if you can have him as a TA, you should and you will be blessed

Would highly recommend this class.

Selling textbook for $15.

Honestly this class isn't an easy A. There are homework assignments every week that are graded based on completion, so thats cool, but the midterm, final, and final paper, are hard. If you actually attend the lectures, listen to him and take notes on everything he says (because even though he posts his slides, he only posts key terms - doesn't go in depth), you'll do well! You kind of have to care about whats going on too, or else it can be really boring. I loved every bit of it though, I took him for soc 102 in the summer too. Try to get Wisam as a TA if you really wanna do good!!! Hes literally the best
