This isn't the most exciting class, but if you're a soc major, you must take it. Study and you can get an A

Good overall class. Pretty interesting. Not hard to do well in. Just pay attention in lecture and discussions and you should be fine. There are two papers for the class. Both are pretty easy.

GO TO LECTURE!! His tests are based of his lectures. If you go to class and read, you should be able to pull a good grade in this course. Hunter uses the Dutch Knockout system also. Overall if you go to lecture, do readings for anything you're unclear about, and attend discussion, you should be able to pull an A or B without pulling teeth.

Only take this class if you need it for the soc major. Its not that difficult. Hunter tailors the class to first years.

Prof. Hunter is my absolute least favorite professor at UVA. He doesn't allow you to take notes on a computer and he doesn't use power point slides, so if you miss anything in his lecture then there's no way of getting the information. The material in the book doesn't really match the material in lecture either. It was never made clear what to study, so his exams were extremely difficult. Your TAs are your best resource if you take this class. It'd just be better to take it with a different professor though.
