I found this topic extremely difficult in my studies of Max Weber for the founding fathers of sociology, thank you! Sending my appreciation all the way from South Africa.

[@thesociologytutor2449]

Thanks very much! I'm glad you're finding it helpful. I'm looking forward to Lion's rugby tour of South Africa in the summer, so hopefully we can all get past Covid and enjoy it.

thank you, you have the best videos on the whole of youtube !

[@thesociologytutor2449]

Thanks very much! Quick question, do you find it easier to engage with the videos if someone is presenting as opposed to narrating over a power point. I was thinking of experimenting with narrated power points. Any feedback would be much appreciated, Thanks Tom

[@elliegoodman8746]

@@thesociologytutor2449 Hi Tom! I think what you are doing now is perfect, like seeing you talk as well as the powerpoints in the back ground is easiest to engage with! Having you to look at is like having a real teacher in the classroom which is engaging! And the lay out of small bits of organiser information at a time is amazing! Thank you, Ellie:)

[@thesociologytutor2449]

Thanks Ellie! It's great to get some feedback. I've been trying to make the videos feel like a classroom/tutorial so I'm glad that's working. Thank again, Tom

[@lostintime519]

weber seems to be the worst sociologist.

[@thesociologytutor2449]
