I took 399 with him - people seem to either like him or hate him with little inbetween...I found him to be a pretty good prof, but do you do have to go to class and take notes on what he says rather than just on what's given to you.
My opinion is that the class would be easier to take with Manzo if he still gives out his study guides...it's also more entertaining with Manzo, though you'll probably end up learning less (if you care).

terrible prof
I agree with the above posts! He is so full of himself. Soci 325 turned out to be soci of sports as the examples that he will talk about in class are mostly sports related. So if you're like me who doesn't have any clue about sports, you will become more confused. Oh and not to mention his accent! He is definitely one of the profs I will never take a class with
I liked Kevin Young.
I did Soci 399 - Sociology of Sport and it was well taught.
Didn't think he was full of himself at all.
I took 325 with him. I had to withdraw because he was so bad. He has no notes, makes you buy 2 of his useless books, and his midterm and final are 50% each.
Took 325 and 399 with him. Easy A! I thought he was an amazing professor. All you have to do is read the books (which are easy and straight forward), study his notes for a couple of hours before the exam, and you get an A! I had a friend who only went to one lecture and still got an A-. I would definitely take another course with him. The 50% midterm was not bad. It gave me more time to focus on my core classes. Most of the stuff is just common sense. Plus his exams are multiple choice and no BS papers! Also his curve is very generous. You can get an A- with just 80%! If the books are detouring anyone, I will sell mine for cheap.

I heard 399 was really easy.
