Comment:

Fairly easy class. There's only one discussion a week and 3 midterms. None of the assignments or midterms were difficult. There is also 1 extra credit discussion at the end of the course. Sometimes Midterm due dates are a little confusing because it doesn't show the due date nor does he send an email, so just ask him about it.

Comment:

This was an all online class that was pretty simple. A discussion once a week that was based off personal experiences (no research at all) and 3 tests (that's it!). 85% of your grade is based on the tests but it is open note so you have plenty of time to double check things if you are uncertain. Would definitely recommend taking this class.

This was a super easy class. He gives full points for the bi-weekly posts (Honestly, you could write about anything and I doubt he'd notice lol). The exams are heavy and can only be taken once.

The class has been changed since fall 2017, it was okay to me. but all the tests were only available on Sunday which was all the deadline date on Friday (change to P/NP or drop with W). The test was given by limited time, for some of the non-English speaker students, it need take some time to read and understand the questions. What a nice prof!

Comment:

There are no homework assignments or laborious projects. The quizzes are open everything: friends, textbook, internet, and even himself! We are allowed to use 1 page of notes front and back for the 3 midterms. There's no extra credit, so don't ask him. You have to read the book to pass. He starts to become monotonous after the second week.

Comment:

Mark Pasion is the nicest teacher I've personally ever had. He really cares about his students. With that being said, let me just warn you, his class isn't as dirt easy as everyone makes it seem. You HAVE to study out of class if you want an A. This class isn't an "easy A' but with outside class studying, it could be.

Comment:

One of the easiest class you will ever take. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to surely study all of the REVIEW concepts in his study guide. He allows cheat sheet in tests. His quizes are OPEN EVERYTHING (friends, internet, notes, etc). Kind and respectable teacher. Only downside is his class can be a bit boring. Still, a very nice teacher. Gives retake for test

Comment:

His class is very easy to pass as long as you READ the assigned chapters for the week. His tests are heavily based on the examples provided to you in the textbook, and his writing assignments are all based on your opinion. The midterms/final exams are easy if you've read. I recommend going by his Exam Guide/Study Guide to help you with this course.

Easiest class I've taken to date, but at the same time I can say that he definitely taught me pertinent sociological concepts. His tests are easy and open note. Highly recommended.

Pasion is the BEST teacher ever. 3 midterms, 1 final. Online study guides and notes are provided. Additional practice quizzes are given (not graded). Very interesting to hear. One of those classes you will not mind attending. Super helpful teacher and very fair. HILARIOUS on top of everything. Win win situation. Make sure to participate!

Comment:

The only problem I had with this class is that if you don't get an A, you will most probably get a B (there is no A- in this class, and he says he "may" give you B+ if he considers that you put effort into the class). You have to do well in everything. There's no extra credit, but he allows you to retake one of the first two midterms (there's 3).

Comment:

He is very hilarious and is really passionate about the subject. I personally thought that he was more interesting in the beginning and as the weeks went by he became more monotonous. Only 3 tests total. The key to doing well is going over the study guide! Have a full understanding of the key terms - how those words apply to real life.
