Has anyone taken sociology 181 with Waisman?

<p>If you have, what are the midterm and final like?</p>

<p>Kind of, I was enrolled and came to class for the first two weeks. My personal impression: He’s very difficult to understand personally because of his personality and his tangible Argentinian accent. I ended up dropping his class because I found it really hard to learn and given the format of his class (all of it is reading really dense books and then taking an all-essay Midterm and Final), it would have been hard (for me) to succeed. His presentation of the material didn’t make me enjoy all of the theories of communism and how they relate to Modern Society. I felt like he didn’t really care for his students (120 of us in a cramped room, and if you sit in the back you can’t hear him). He’s one of those tenured professors with 25+ years under his belt and at this point he could really care less about how his students view him; he’s guaranteed his fat paycheck and therefore can teach however (and however much) he wants. It seems like he was feeling that leisure quite strongly.</p>
