I took Sociology 40, it just wasn't listed in the course selection. It focused on American Psychosocial racism and I must say the class changed my perspective about racism. Professor Prager did his best to teach the class and provided interesting topics about things happening in current time. His lectures however were incredibly unorganized. I felt like every lecture we started over as if it was the first day of class. I ended up missing class the last 2 weeks of the quarter since he would put them on Bruincast and there was no point if what he was saying wasn't really useful to the class or final. My TA was probably what helped me pass the class. They gave weekly 2 page writing assignments about articles and videos discussed in the class. The midterm and final focused on the major readings of the class. My TA gave us a study guide and it helped make the midterm and final very easy. I got an A in the class, just as I'm sure mostly everybody did. This is a very easy GE and as long as you pay some attention, you should pass with an A too. Also, the course reader was free online.

Prof. Prager is the nicest guy, very aproachable, and helpful. He really cares about his students- I was in a class of about 40-50 people and i think he knew almost every persons name really early in the quarter. His lectures are interesting, and he is very good at explaining otherwise confusing material. He will like you if you come to his office hours- I would highly suggest it. Take a class with him.

Professor Prager is an amazing teacher. I had him for GE cluster 21A, and every tuesday and thursday I looked forward to his class. He truly cares about and understands the material he teaches. His lecture style really makes it impossible to fall asleep! :) I think he is the best teacher I have ever had, and I dont expect to ever have better.

Winter 2019 - I initially hated this class, but as time went on I got used to Prager's teaching style (he literally just talks for the whole lecture) and began to enjoy the class. It's not a heavy workload, and if you keep up with the readings and go to lecture you will do great. The midterm structure was not my favorite but he accommodated and gave extra credit for the final! Selling all 4 books for the class and will include free notes and study guides I used for the midterm & final!! Text: **********

Professor Prager is by far the best professor I've encountered during my time at UCLA. I took Sociology 10, Sociology 101, and Sociology 102 with him as a professor. Each time, I learned many valuable ideals and sociological views. He allows students to make their own views out of the texts and is extremely helpful in answering questions. He analyzes the readings and asks for student analysis as well. He always specifies exactly what the students will need to know for exams but I feel that he never placed much importance on grades which was awesome. Taking a class with Professor Prager can be very rewarding if you enjoy reading, analyzing, and learning.
