Very kind and understanding professor. Course work expectations are made very clear. He has a lenient late policy. If you keep up with the lectures and readings the final is easy.SOCL1101 2024-08-24 00:51:31 +0000 UTC
Professor Levy is very nice to student and passionated on lectures. He is very helpful and flexible when students have any problems. Readings are important for this class and be ready to write some papers. But definitely I would recommend this course:)ANTH2305 2024-04-23 23:51:06 +0000 UTC
It's not just that his lectures thoroughly explain both the theories and their applications (which they do) or that the course structure will throw new engaging puzzles at you just as you think you've solved them (which it does), but on top of all of that he's a genuinely kind and approachable person. I highly recommend attending his office hours!SOCL4522 2023-09-05 01:15:43 +0000 UTC
I took Ben's class at Emerson and it was really enjoyable! Lots of reading but it's worth it because his in class discussions are very interesting. He's extremely into in his teaching and it makes his class genuinely engaging. He's very nice as well and felt more like a friend than a professor.SOCL2350 2023-01-18 16:45:22 +0000 UTC
Had Professor Levy for Social Movements this semester. He is such a kind individual who is also clearly very knowledgable about the subject material and strives to keep the class interested in it as well. As long as you participate and do at least some of the readings he'll work with you to get the A. Would definitely take another class with him.SOCL2268 2019-12-14 07:16:26 +0000 UTC
Benjamin Levy is the best Math teacher ever in NEU and in my life. His caring to his students was unreal and I bet nobody in NEU cares so much about their students and are willing to actually help students face to face whenever he has time. The way he teaches is also effective. Just remember that in a math class you should pay 100% attentionMATH1341 2018-10-24 15:26:30 +0000 UTC
He is a good and kind person but I just don't like his class. By the way, the exams he gave are very wired to me since he does not often test us the most difficult content but some small details. Sometimes half the test is just one detail. Therefore if you did not review that detail, you will fail very easily. Outside guidance is available.MA1431 2017-12-19 23:51:15 +0000 UTC
Professor Levy is ok. He helps when you ask for help. Sometimes he teaches the same stuff more than once on two separate lectures. He uses WebAssign for homework, which basically sucks. His classes tend to be small, so nod as he talks and don't get distracted, he doesn't like it when students do that.MATM1341 2017-12-16 01:14:59 +0000 UTC
What a wonderful intro class and professor. Clear assignment guidelines, great lectures and use of multimedia. And for an online class where I never once met the prof in person, I felt a surprising amount of connection and care from professor levySOCL1101 2024-08-13 19:59:14 +0000 UTC
Good professor, really cares about his subject. Very willing to give extensions if you ask and make an effort. Lots of reading but no dry textbook, so it went faster.ANTH2305 2024-03-29 18:18:23 +0000 UTC
Benjamin is clearly very passionate about his topics. Very discussion based class, but I've never felt like I've learned so much. Great facilitator as well and fostering a very comfortable environment. Love Benjamin and his excitement for the course material is what kept me wanting to keep coming to class.SOCL2350 2022-11-15 14:25:24 +0000 UTC

professor levy was always available to help. he's very knowledgable and even though lectures can be heavy at times, he's extremely understanding and is easy going overall. would definitely recommend him!SOCL1101 2024-05-06 08:14:16 +0000 UTC
He's a really nice and understanding professor! As long as you keep up with the readings you should do well.ANTH2305 2022-05-02 15:12:59 +0000 UTC
This was the first class he taught by himself, but I felt like I got educated by someone who had been doing it for years. The syllabus was dynamic, he respected and asked for student feedback, and changed things after being called out. He leaves awesome essay feedback but isn't a harsh grader. He is a true gem and makes ppl feel safe n respected!SOCL2350 2019-04-12 13:21:14 +0000 UTC
