Comment:

Took him twice, GREAT professor. He is very understanding and truly cares for the success of his students. Every week there is a discussion, a quiz, and either a timed essay or a two-page analytical essay. They are not that hard! Lots of reading but his study guides are identical to the quizzes. NO EXAMS EVER!

SO glad I disregarded previous reviews and confused by them. He is clear in requirements for his course. Online class required weekly discussion board, weekly quizzes, & either a timed essay or on an article/video but this is standard work for online classes. Read & utilize his posted lectures each week, skim through the chapters, you'll do fine!

Comment:

Terrible. Don't take Ha. An unreasonable amount of reading and essay writing per week. Reading is 2 ch/week, plus 25-50 pages essay-style lecture notes/chapter. You must read all or you will not do well. Extremely tricky questions, like the kind that attempt to fool you rather than see if you know the material. Wish I hadn't taken him.

Was there a lot of homework for an online class? 100%. Each week we have a discussion, a quiz, and either a timed essay or a regular essay based off a video provided. That being said, its all laid out and the study guides he gives are EXACTLY like the quizzes. Do the study guides and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Professor Ha is by far the worst professor Ive ever had. If you want an A, dont take his class. The amount of work due per week adds up to the amount of work for 3 different classes combined. Taking his class as a full-time student was terrible. TONS of reading then tested on the most specific details. He needs to find a different job. HORRIBLE.

Frank Ha is one of the most AMAZING professors here at Cuesta. He must have really taken students' feedback and changed his entire curriculum because this class was outstanding. He is extremely nice and understanding when it comes to students' needs and he genuinely cares; I will definitely take another class with him ASAP.

I love Frank Ha! He's so funny. His classes can get a little boring sometimes but for me i feel like it was just the subject. He's a great teacher and i missed a few classes but still got a good grade.

People are really hard on him on this site, but I think he's great! He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches and even if he's a little quirky he puts in a lot of effort to be kind and approachable.

Comment:

Study guides can sometimes be hit or miss, make sure you write down specifics. Tested on irrelevant information at times. Basically the quizzes are pretty ridiculous at times; they are timed so that you may not use notes which is fine, but sometimes modules are spaced a day apart so it doesn't give you the study time needed. Discussions are great.

Comment:

Prof Ha does not allow you to review your quizzes after taking them so you will have NO IDEA what concepts you are not understanding & you will have NO IDEA what you need to study more of for exams. He requires several lengthy assignments be completed during the week, EVERY week of class. This is supposed to be an intro SOC course, not advanced!

After seeing all those negative reviews I would say Frank ha is an average lecturer. He a tough grader. However, he is not that bad over all. He is lecturers are extremely boring but there is no other option

Comment:

Great discussions in class, but totally boring and useless lectures every day. Monotone and boring, I fell asleep in class numerous times. As long as you read the material and sow up for tests, a passing grade is obtainable. I wish I would've taken it online and skipped that class time!

Comment:

I wouldn't say the class was "easy" because there is actually studying and reading involved in a few different books. He makes the assignments very hard. The the discussions and the tests are very hard if you didnt the assigned readings. boring class though.

Prof is nice but there is absolutely no point to attending class. He just reads everything off of power points which are available online. Everything on neither from the powerpoint and not from the book. The class is also incredibly boring. just show up to the exam u will get c. attending , reading books and notice not a big difference

Comment:

This teacher is incredibly boring. Makes power points which he just reads to you, leaving you wondering why you even came and when its going to end. Also, his tests hardly reflect the the class material, and he expects you to do more learning from the book, which is never gone over in class. Frank Ha manages to make an exciting subject quite dull.

Comment:

If you're looking for hard and boring class, sociology with Ha is the way to go. He's very tough grader, strict at all, and make class boring ways. Showing up for every lecture is not mandatory, but you will need to study hard the notes he and study book 4 times. Highly recommend not taking this class with this lecturer
