Never met a professor who is as passionate as Paul is. Really wants his students to be engaged in the world, and know what is going on. The book for the class was online and very accessible, not overpriced. You learn more than you would think in this class.

He's great. His assignments are easy and to the point. He gives extra credit and he absolutely loves when students participate and speak up. You will actually learned very important things in his class. However, don't miss class, you will lose points and it will effect your grade. thats why i ended with a B, could have been an A

Comment:

I hate labeling a class as "an easy A" but it's really the only way to describe it. He deducts points for every absence, which is annoying because I didn't gain any insight by going, but there's extra credit. Got 100% on all my exams (multiple choice). You'd have to try really hard to fail, so definitely recommend for the many looking for an easy A

Harasha is the best professor ever. I took his hybrid class and it was a breeze. He puts an assignment up every week & gives you a whole week to do them, which are super easy. He cares about students that engage in his lectures. He is a down to earth soul who cares about his community. Gives plenty of extra credit. Highly recommend all his classes.

Paul is the best professor I've had so far. I took his 8 week course in person and it was super easy. He is passionate about Sociology and really cares about his students. If you show him that you care and listen to his lectures, you wont regret it. I would definitely recommend taking his class. Easy A if you put in some effort.

I would recommend taking his class for any course that falls under sociology. His lectures are personal and interactive. First day of class, he gives you all the tests (including the final) that will be taken throughout the semester. There's no way anybody should fail this class.

I loved this class. I took his 7am summer class and I am not a morning person, but I looked forward to being there on time every day. The summer class was a bit fast paced but as long as you read the book and put effort into the few writing assignments he assigns, you will pass. I plan on taking his race class in the spring, awesome teacher. 10/10

Comment:

Professor Harasha is one of the best professors I have had in my academic career. I had never taken a Sociology course prior to this summer, and did not know what to expect. He is truly passionate about Sociology, and the well being of his students. This class opened my eyes to the realities of the society we live in, and the effects it has.

Comment:

In SOC180 we looked at how technology impacts society. Lots of group discussion, very little homework. Mr. Harasha is passionate about bettering society, and not afraid to share his opinion while always inviting students' input. I love that he's open to let spirituality/God into the discussion. His optimism and conscientiousness are inspiring.

Harasha is awesome. The class is easy but still engaging. He cares about the world and his students. He inspired me to cut down on technology and life has been better since. He is looking to make a difference in the world, and he does.

Very basic SOC101 class. Read the book, answer test questions, take tests. You also choose between service learning or writing essays. Essays were 3pgs max. Super easy A. He is a great professor although he gets side-tracked A LOT.
