See comment on the joke of a prof below
Required for all sociology majors/minors, and offers some things to personally consider if at your own pace and comfort. But sociological theory isn't real sociology.
Extremely opinionated and self centred, admits he studied theory to escape real sociological research (shouldn't be in his position honestly), and is terrible at explaining (just makes his explanations long and complex). If he did his own exams he'd probably fail. Can't even explain simple exam instructions like 8 pages, can be single spaced (and a particular font?) but needs standard margins. Explains philosophy as if he wrote them himself so its hard to distinguish their arguments from his opinions, and its unclear where he brings the main points (if even mentioned at all)
These days Craig only teaches in summer. It'll be fine to get done and over with then. Otherwise Ana Vivaldi is a more popular option

Reading heavy, challenging essays, evaluation fully based on essays.
My TA kept telling me I have to present a "deeper analysis" of the material! I don't know what that means but you might find it useful!!!
