The class and professor was overall very good. Very easy going and grades fairly. The only thing I could ask more of was maybe more communication to the overall class, but for it being an online course it was pretty understandable. Would definitely take this course and have this professor again.
This professor is outstanding at teaching, I learned many things from him. Even though I did not finish schoolwork, he gave us the opportunity to do the work even if we turned it in late. He is very attentive, he listens to you and is a very friendly person.
For it being my first sociology class as well as being online, I thought this would be hard. But once I read through the syllabus and started actually doing the work, I realized that it was not bad at all. The professor was also very caring and understanding for this online students allowing extra credit as well as allowing some late work turned in
Professor Tamang was great! His coursework was organized and easy to follow. He gave lots of opportunities for extra credit. Tamang also gave us a generous amount of time for us students to complete the assignments. I would definitely recommend taking his class.
He is a very kind a understand teacher. And you shouldn't have trouble with him, if you stick to your work, be respectfully and don't be so closed minded.
Dr. Tamang was a great professor. He is a bit soft-spoken so I suggest sitting in the front. He was incredibly available by email and text. He was also exceptionally understanding about life situations. I definitely recommend him.
Would recommend. He's a bit soft spoken so I suggest sitting near the front. He was tremendously understanding and readily available by email AND text. Also the text book was available online for free so don't waste your money to buy it.
He's a great professor, this course was made fun and interesting and I recommend him. I would take this class again it's really easy and stress-free.
Very easy and nice professor. Has clear expectations and grades very generously.
This was a really easy class. Very clear about expectations. Cares that you pass, works with you. Very clear with due dates, has alot of homework and quizzes but the quizzes are only ten questions and he gives you plenty of time on them. Can work ahead which was super helpful for single moms like myself.
He was a good prof. Very easy going and a good teacher
I think that overall it was a great course. I felt as though I learned a lot form the class and it wasn't very difficult so if you have a busy life like I do than this could be the class for you!
Super nice, very understanding!
Very understanding and straightforward on what is required to do during the semester. Provided a doable amount of work while still making it interesting. Would definitely recommend.
This sociology course was very lecture heavy, but there were class discussions weaved into the lectures, so they didn't become too monotonous. I would definitely recommend taking professor Asha's course if it fits the goal areas you need, but try to take the non-accelerated version!
He was fantastic, very understanding and willing to help. I would 100% take his class again.
I had a late start class so lots of lessons were crammed together. Stay on top of your assignments! Tamang has great philosophy overall.
This is a very independent class, you do most of the work by yourself but at least the professor gives you a detailed instruction of what you have to do. Also theres quite a bit of reading and writing.
I think the subject matter and the style of teaching of the teacher go hand in hand. Lectures are not boring and are interactive.
I recently took an online course and the teacher was great! They were always available to answer questions and provided helpful resources. The instructions for assignments were clear and easy to follow. Overall, it was a really positive experience and I feel like I learned a lot from this teacher's online course.
This professor was very chill and was well organized in his assignments and tasks for the the week.
This professor is very easy, very clear, and easy to contact. The class itself was also good to take and fun to learn.
Highly recommend! Just took this class and it went by pretty fast and his grading and work given is easy to understand. He also got lots of extra credit work!
Professor Tamang provided a clear and concise syllabus with all expectations and guidelines for how to be successful in this course. He communicated frequently. He was gracious with assignment deadlines, fair with grading, and provided helpful feedback. The material provided was not rigorous, it was easy to read and comprehend.
Nice and easy, just keep up with assignments. Definitely advise working ahead.
Professor Tamang was very easy-going. If you reached out for assistance, he was there to assist in your needs. He did offer a couple different opportunities for extra credit which is useful if you need the boost. None of the opportunities were difficult in any way, just a bit time consuming.
I would highly recommend this class, especially with Professor Tamang! He's very understanding and supportive. The course material was easy to follow along with and he provided helpful feedback. There were also many opportunities for extra credit to boost your grade.
I wouldn't rate this class as complex but it has a lot of assignments. As long as you do all the assignments and take the quizzes you should be able to pass this class. It is a pretty interesting class I highly recommend.
Professor Asha Lal Tamang was amazing for the summer semester. If needing clarification, he was able to respond in a timely manner. The coursework isn't a lot and provides announcements every week to be able to know what is due. Quizzes are unlimited time and 2 attempts. I would highly recommend his class :)
Overall a fair instructor that is respectful of others time. On-line class was easy to follow - deadlines and amount of work was appropriate.
He is very engaging and willing to help if you need the help
This professor did a really nice job typing out his syllabus. I felt prepared for his class and like I knew what was happening. He gave many opportunities for extra credit and showed that he cared for his students. I did this as a summer class and didn't feel too overwhelmed. I wish more professors taught like Asha!
Am the most happiest student writing this review. This professor is one of the few professors i have interacted with with a big heart for learners. The professor is friendly ready to assist in case of any problem related to coursework. He organizes the content to accommodate every student. Notably, he ensures scholars get best out the course.
Professor Tamang was a good professor. The class instructions and assignments were very clear which made the class flow smoothly. The class was very enjoyable and informative. Assignments were relevant to what we were learning and the workload was fair.
The professor values class participation which is good for students since it's an online class, discussions must be lead and responded to achieve participation goal. The way the professor sets his exam is friendly I liked it; he doesn't overwork students at least he gives reasonable workload.
he is a good professor, knows the material and is available for questions. he gives lots of extra credit activities which improved my grade so much. you might need to read and do lots of DQ but it was good class overall.
We had lots of DQ and assignment and we had to comment for each DQ, but we also had lots of extra credit activity to improve our grade.
This class made sociology easy to learn. The textbook was online and free, which made the course material much more easily accessible. As this was an online asynchronous course, there was a lot of DQ and quizzes but wasn't too difficult to get through. The instructor was also readily accessible and helpful when needed.
Professor Tamang's class was very easy and interesting. I would encourage anyone finishing any generals to take classes with professor Tamang.
This is nice professor
I took this course online during the 8 week summer semester. It's a lot of reading & quizzes, but each chapter only takes about 30 minutes. You have only a few other assignments. The workload is totally manageable & Profesor Tamang is awesome. Would definitely recommend.
Professor Asha Lal Tamang was very considerate and helpful to students. The course contents and assignments were not that difficult to complete.
I would definitely recommend!
I believe Professor Tamang was a great professor. Professor Tamang was understanding, his communication was great as well considering this was an online course, and he was great with grading. Overall I understood the curriculum, and the class was great thank you.
This professor has a good schedule outline to help you complete this course. You can turn in things later, with a portion of the score removed, but I suggest you stay on top of things. The class gets easier once you get get the hang of the class.
This class is pretty easy if you understand the assignments and do them on time.
this class is very easy and that you will not struggle as long as you follow the schedule given to you by him, good luck!
He is understanding and accommodating, His grading is clear and has a bonus mark for students who are willing to put extra energy to achieve their desired grades. He gives a second chance to those learners who for some reasons don't meet the deadline for submission of assignments. He corrects leaners respectively. Professor Asha is soft but firm.
Great professor, easy to ask questions too.
Great professor, fairly easy class if you stay on schedule and don't fall behind.
Professor Tamang is easy to work with and readily available for help.
Professor Asha Lal Tamang really cared. He communicated effectively and often. There were a lot of tests, but nothing unmanagable.
Was all around a great Professor. Yes there is a lot of reading, but very managable.
Overall I really enjoyed the class even though it was an online course. The introductory class wasn't too difficult and if you follow the syllabus, it's pretty straightforward. Do the assignments and participate in the activities and you'll be fine. I took this course over the summer, and though it was accelerated I felt that I learned a lot.
he is a very good professor! super helpful and knowledgable if you communicate to him that you need help he will do his best to help you!
Professor Asha was great! He is a great teacher his instructions were clear and he was very supportive and helpful if I had any questions he was there to assist.
I highly recommend this teacher. I was fairly nervous because this was my first college class but it was very manageable. The teacher did not load my schedule with work and was very understanding. The work was easy to follow and it was at your own pace for the most part. If you are thinking about taking him, do it.
The structure of the course was laid out in a way that was accessible and easy to learn the material. He doesn't rush students through the course and allows us time to retain the information!
Dr.Asha cared about his students and made the class very easy to navigate through. His instructions were clear for the most part and there was only one big project which was a 5-10 page paper. Other coursework was just doing quizzes and discussions based on reading the textbook, but it was very manageable. Would 100% take Dr.Asha's class again!
I took Intro to Sociology online and Professor Tamang's organization of the class is exceptional. The grading is clear and he is always willing to answer any questions. He periodically posts announcements and also encouraged students to sign up for Mental Health First Aider training! Overall would take a course from him again.
I really liked this class it was easy for me. I thought it would be hard but it was not. The professor is really nice as well.
Dr. Asha is a great Professor! the class was organized great. He wants you to succeed, answers his emails early, helps you understand the topic. The class was not hard. Extra credit is available and late assignments are acceptable only if you have a valid reason. Taking notes are important! Notes are 100 points. Overall great Professor and class!
Asha Lal Tamang is a remarkable professor who dedicates time to thoroughly explain concepts. He is approachable and adaptable, displaying a deep passion and extensive knowledge for teaching. Asha goes above and beyond by offering his students the opportunity for extra training and certification. Moreover, he conducts his classes with utmost respect
This class provided me with great resources and a even better professor! Grading is easy and not too much effort but you still are learning a lot!
He provides the textbook because he's the author which was cool to me lol. He also has quizzes to help improve your grade, he's very understanding.
I personally loved taking Sociology with Professor Tamang! I took this course asynchronous, completely online and Professor Tamang had everything very organized. I am personally not great with technology but with this course, everything was easily accessible! The textbook is the best resource in this course so be prepared to read!
He is ok, I think?
This professor's class was very clear and understanding.
this professor's class was very easy to follow
I 100% recommend this professor. He has everything set up for the entire year so if you want to, you can work ahead. He is a fast responder to your emails so you aren't left waiting. He also lets you make up late work. I forgot to do a discussion post and he still let me get credit for it. Definitely one of my top professors.
Professor Asha is a good professor! His lectures are straightforward to understand and easy to follow. He is excellent at grading assignments in a timely matter. As a student who looks at their grades weekly, I appreciate that! The assignments aren't hard, but they're sort of long. It's essential to set aside time to complete them.
Our professor was very nice always asked if we had any questions, comments, or concerns. His lectures ere always very informative and brief. I like how he made sure everyone was on the same page as far as the topics we discussed before moving on to the next topic. He allowed all of us to engage with one another and participate in group discussions.
He was very easy on us as a class. Very few times was I confused with the course, many times the tests given and the assignments were super easy to grasp. I learned a lot through the textbook and I felt very confident about my progress in this class.
Though the course contents are so much, the professor made learning easy and comprehensive for all student. All student were involved in the learning and activity process of the class with the use of discussion posts which is another good way to understand the course more in-depth. His feedbacks on assignment and projects are simple and helpful.
This class was so digestible; there were weekly quizzes, but they were short and basically summaries of chapters. Lots of extra credit opportunities and the professor was informative and there when you needed him. I would like to take this course again!
Mr. Tamang is an amazing professor, I am a high schooler who is taking PSEO classes through North Hennepin for some college credits. I was having some trouble with navigating D2L itself because I am an online student. Nonetheless, he was willing to welcomed me and helped me through navigating the app.
Chill teacher not difficult at all just show up and get the work done.
Professor Tamang provided a great Intro to Sociology experience. All of the assignments were straight forward and I learned a lot from them. Each week there were a couple of quick quizzes based on the textbook with assignments or discussions sprinkled in. He was very helpful and everything was laid out nicely.

Fast email responses, many optional assignments available for extra credit, and cares about his students.
I genuinely enjoyed having Asha as my professor, he is very down-to-earth and is great at dealing with unexpected situations. There is not too much work given, and he can be very flexible towards students and deadlines. The homework isn't difficult simply make sure you are following the instructions well and you should be fine.
This is one of the best professors you will ever have. Professor Tamang is incredibly reasonable and organized. The coursework is very informative and interesting. He is attentive to his email for question's, due dates are very achievable, and he will work with you as long as you're active. 10/10. If you have him, you'll be ok, just ask question's!

I took his intro to sociology course. he is very caring and he genuinely wants his students to learn. he is always happy to help or answer any questions. the course is not hard at all and does offer an optional assignment for extra credit. the topics covered were interesting and meaningful.
The text for the class, which Professor Tamang co-authored, is very approachable. Announcements to the entire class were pretty sparse. Expectations for due dates were very clear, although criteria for certain assignments could be vague. There are lots of opportunities for bonus points.
The professor is very engaging and included many of his life moments into the lectures. Many of the assignments were very clear and not hard to understand. Overall, his teaching style is easy to understand and engaging for students.

Asha Lal Tamang is an amazing professor, he's not only good at what he does but very flexible in the learning ways for other students. His class is mostly lectures and not while you do a weekly assignment or so. I recommend Asha Lal Tamang for those who may not want a lot of homework but want to learn properly on the subject he teaches.
Asha Lal Tamang is an amazing and caring professor. He's not only good at what he does but he's very flexible to the specific learning needs for students. I recommend this professor for those who want to learn about the subject and want low homework, about 1 or 2 assignments a week.
Asha Lal Tamang is a wonderful, caring, understanding professor. This was my first semester at Augsburg University and he was such a great first introduction to the course because I assumed it would be incredibly difficult. Although this class can be challenging he makes sure all students understand what is going on.
Professor Asha La Tamang was a good professor to have. Homework he assigns isn't hard but don't procrastinate! If you try and give a good effort you should be successful in the class. He does teach through lectures but they are not hard to understand, pay attention, take notes and you should be good. There's also extra credit to boost your grade!
The teacher's way of teaching was interesting, and they made the information clear. In general, they were very good at their job.
The teacher mostly does a power point lecture and a few discussion question in class. We also have a 10 question test for each unit we learn about. There are also a few discussion question assignments you need to write about online and submit. Lastly extra credit is provided all the time and dose not hurt your grade at all.
Professor Asha is really interesting. When doing his lecture, he provides explanations to where you can understand the class and still have all the information. To study,I personally like the textbook because you can highlight you can do your notes and go back to it at the end of the chapter. caring and understanding. He is super understanding!
Relatively easy class, great if you're getting back into school and taking an online class. Lessons were easy to understand and quizzes were straightforward. You did not have to purchase additional books which I really appreciated and the teacher really supported you in passing the class and the assignments weren't overly complicated. Thanks, Asha!
I really enjoyed taking this class with this professor. He is very understanding and laid back. Make sure to communicate if you need help. Very caring and is a good person.
The syllabus and grading were clear. I found the readings and lectures easy to follow and very helpful for the weekly quizzes. The professor was very neutral for every topic which allowed for our class to have very open discussions that were facilitated in a safe and welcoming space. I would definitely recommend this class and would take it again!

The class was an interesting one to take. It expands your knowledge on certain subjects. The professor is very helpful with learning the material. There are weekly quizzes on the chapters but they are quick and not too difficult. I would recommend taking this class with Professor Tang.
Professor Tang's class was enjoyable and helpful, with easy-to-understand lessons. It's suitable for returning to school and online. Professor Tang uses PowerPoint lectures and discussion questions. His lectures are interesting, and he integrates his personal stories, providing feedback and accommodating to students' needs.
Asha was a good Sociology professor this semester. He had a very good way of teaching us the correct material from the online textbook that he co-wrote. He didn't give us any difficult tests or exams this semester, which was really nice. He also respected the students a lot, during class as well, which was nice of him. Overall, a good professor.
I really enjoyed taking Asha's class and would like to take another one with her. The class was very straightforward and we were allowed to take the quiz twice. Additionally, there was an opportunity for extra credit. Whenever I had a question, I simply emailed Asha and she was very prompt in her response.
Loved the class, professor was quick to respond and offered clear instructions. Class was enjoyable compared to other sociology classes.
It was a class that did do good and by far the a good class that wasn't to stressful and I appreciate it and I really think people should take this course and this class really really easy

Asha is a good professor to have. Although I took his online class he seems pretty cool to me. He gives good feedback to help you how to improve your assignments and gives clear instructions.
He was a good teacher overall with a caring mentality, he also showed us through out the semester that he valued us more than just students. He saw us as people who make mistakes too, and showed us generosity to us. He was a awesome teacher.
Professors teaching style is very easy he makes it easy to understand the material.
Materials and content easy posted and understable. Easy to complete and follow. Fast email response in my experience asking about an assignment.
Asha is a wonderful and easy-going professor. At the beginning of the semester he told us "none of you will be failing this class" and I agree. To get a failing grade in this class you would have to try NOT to show up and NOT to do any of the assignments. Overall he is a great professor and I would love to take another of his classes if possible.
My experience in this course was fun. The professor was polite, straightforward with his expectations in his class, and flexibility.
Extremely understanding and fair professor, and the course was was pretty interesting to be apart of.
Professor Asha is a nice teacher, very inspiring for me.He is very understanding; he knows that some situations happen and we as college students life can change fast and when it comes to assignments he is very kind, and thoughtful about us.

All you have to do is communicate with him he is a great communicator
This class can be easy if you don't struggle with procrastination or laziness. It does not require the most out of you like most classes will.
He is understanding of situations that happen to international students.
The Professor explains well and gives time for questions. He is so encouraging for success attainment.
He is a great professor who cares about his students and gives fantastic feedback on homework assignments.
Dr. Tamang makes sure you understand the material and gives informative lectures so you have a clear comprehension of the material. If I have any questions, he is willing to help me figure out how I can get the work done and still be able to continue the course. Dr. Tamang also encourages teamwork, inclusivity, and challenging how you think.
Honestly one of my favorite classes , The professor was very understanding and helpful. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone.
I couldn't attend many of the lessons because of personal pressing issues. Still, I learned a lot in the classes I attended, and the lecturer provided many concepts and made it possible to understand them.
I took the all online course but his teaching stayed consistent and well. Sometimes I got confused by due dates because of the way D2L was set up but besides that great teacher.
Professor Tamang is a wonderful, there are no other words I could use. He grades fairly, he provides lovely lectures that truly get the brain thinking, and in my opinion is the most important thing in a professor, he cares. Overall I would take any class taught by him in a heartbeat!
The workload was very easy to understand and complete. The professor is very understanding when it coms to late work. He will try to work with you to make sure you are get a good grade in the course.

Professor Tamang was very easily going throughout the whole semester. He goes over the material in class in a well timed manner, as well as an online textbook for whenever you're not on campus. He goes out of his way to reach out to his students and overall he's great professor and I would take one of his classes again.
He is nice
Asha Lal Tamang is a professor that wants to see you succeed. I started off the wrong foot and wasn't really getting caught up or anything, but he was there to warn me and tell me to get caught up. Of I didn't know something he would help me and direct me to where I needed to go and due. He's a teacher that wants to see you pass.
Very easy professor, I had stuff that were turned in late but he got that covered and graded. As long as you turn in your work you should be good. My favorite professor throughout this whole PSEO journey.
His very understandable and so are the assignments you are give, and is a very respectful professor.
This professor was easy to get a hold of, and always willing to help, and was avalible. the class was fairly easy, and the instructions were clear. if you follow the syllabus and do the assignments you will easily get a good grade in the class.

youlll love learning from Mr.tamang.
The workload was neither too little nor too much, he takes late work and is very easygoing. I recomend this professor to anyone interested in his classes.
I think that he is a great professor. There are a lot of quizzes but not heavy on tests. He also is helpful and gives great feedback.
Professor Tamang had a good balance of both reading and lecture work. The assignments weren't to difficult, and I learned just as much from the outside-class resources as I did from the in-class activities and powerpoints.
His teaching style and notes are great you can take the quizzes and have what you need to pass he very good at communication the assignment and when they are due
I really enjoyed doing weekly 10-point quizzes, it kept me on track with the course and it was easy to learn/follow everything in the course. If you had a question, the reply was emailed within an hour. really enjoyed this class and would 100% take again:)
Asha made the material he was explaining very clear. There were rarely clarifying questions and if there were they usually led to a great discussion of the class. Asha was able to keep the class engaged well. One time students got into an argument and he used it as an example in the lesson which I thought was super clever and was a good talk.
Really great teacher! Really good content!
amazing teacher! his passion for the subject matter is contagious and you have a gift for making complex concepts accessible to all of your students. His patience and kindness in the classroom create a safe and supportive learning environment.
really understanding of students, love the teaching style he was able to convey the material clearly and easy to understand
I am taking the course Criminal Justice. Dr. Asha is very nice he grades easy and gives a good feedback. He makes lots of updates so you feel supported though your journey and is willing to help you if you are struggling with anything. If you submit everything on time you could get 20 point bonuses which is very nice of him.
He's good, very supportive ,always willing to answer questions. I love his teaching style very easy to understand I didn't have much of a struggle with this online class.
1) A Good Personality as it leads to better communication, understanding, and ultimately good results. 2) A Good Listener
Tamang is very helpful in offering support when needed! Assignments are clear and easy, although be prepared to read a lot and take some notes. Loved having him as a teacher!
He was a great professor, fair grader, and always available if you had any questions on the homework.
He is a very professional teacher and is really good. He always will ask more from you so you can learn more and makes sure that you are understanding the content. Notes were very easy to follow and provided a lot of information. I would recommend this teacher if you want a true look at a college class.
This class was very easy to understand and was also structured at a very manageable pace. As long as you stay on track and follow his recommended schedules for reading and assignments, it is very easy and helpful!
Clear communication with students, Approachable, Fair, and provides a great learning experience
Professor was very hands on in asking questions that made us think beyond or own perspective to crtically assess situations that may arise in this field of study. Great feedback and ability to engage us.
Professor Tamang was a great instructor and often when into detail with his lectures.
I don't have many complaints with him, he's a good professor but I wish sometimes he made his expectations and instructions more clear.
He gives weekly quizzes on textbook readings, has very few discussions, and provides many opportunities for extra credit. He gives a layout of the entire semester in the syllabus so read it. Also he emphasizes participation which can lead to extra credit. Just do the all of the assignments and you should have success in his class.
Mr. Lal simplified and made learning enjoyable. They constantly explained topics with examples from real life, which made it easier for me to understand how sociology impacts our daily lives. Mr. Asha gave a really engaging class, and I learned a lot.
Dr. Tamang is a very knowledgeable professor who is willing to work with students to help them achieve the best they can do in the class. My only issue during the class was some confusion with due dates at the start. Dr Tamang help clear those up for me and allowed me to submit anyway. I would take another of his classes if it fit in my schedule.
Dr. Tamang was a great professor, his lectures were well thought out and helped me understand the topics. Just know that you are expected to have read the chapter first prior to attending the lecture and be prepared to the quiz chapters in class or right after class.
He is an intelligent and respected professor. As the class was asynchronous he was pretty hands off, but the grading criteria was apparent and he was easy to reach out to if needed.
Dr. Tamang is a very talented Professor. The entire course was built in a very thought out way. He has weekly quizzes throughout the semester which I enjoyed completing. He gives many opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester and he responds, grades quickly. 10/10 Professor
professor was very understanding and nice.
This professor was incredibly kind and used words of encouragement to help motivate students to complete their coursework. He grades quickly and responds in a timely manner. Coursework consists of textbook readings, quizzes, discussions and a few papers. There are also many opportunities for extra credit to boost your grade.
My experience with this professor was very positive. His class was very manageable, he offers lots of extra credit opportunities, and his class is laid out well within D2L. I did struggle at time because instruction and expectations for assignments weren't always as clear as I personally like, but I felt that he was a very fair grader.
I wrote the most recent review, but it did not save to my account for course credit. I had a very good experience with this professor. I feel that he is very reasonable and accommodating. I was able to balance a full time job, this course, and three other courses with minimal issues. I would recommend this course and professor.
He only expects your best effort. As long as you do your best he will be extremely fair.
This class is very necessary for the busy adult. It is very accommodating and forgiving if any work is missed.
this professor likes to do discussion posts and they are always great to do. he always responds to emails right away. liked him as a teacher.
From the very beginning, Professor Tamang's passion for sociology shone through in their engaging lectures and thought-provoking discussions. What impressed me most was Professor Tamang's ability to make complex sociological concepts accessible and relatable, ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, could grasp the material.
Really enjoyed this class.
Understanding and kind, available outside of class!
Very caring and if you stay on top of deadlines you will do just fine!
It was interesting class and I enjoyed the material, but be prepared to read a lot. On the bright side, the textbook came out recently, so the readings were easy to digest, at least for me.
Talks for a while, maybe not easy to understand. But you will learn new concepts and criteria.
I took this class online through PSEO, it was a big workload for me with 3 other college classes and 1 HS class. He graded things kindly, but the work was due in a short time after each one and he was a little hard to communicate with through email. There were many quizzes and 1 paper that you submit a draft then fix it for later in the semester.
I would highly recommend taking this course and with Dr. Tamang. He is amazing and very good with communication!
He used the class slideshows and his textbook to teach us the material. Overall the class was easy to keep up with.
Clear expectations with the ability to work ahead if needed. Communicative to e-mails within a timely manner. Work expected was fair and not overwhelming.
Good for an online class. Very straightforward.
I took Intro to Sociology with Prof. Tamang, and his course was extremely well organized and easy to stay on top of. If you do miss points on an assignment, there are many easy extra credit opportunities to make up for any deducted points. I would highly recommend this course. It is easy to understand, engaging, and not very work-intensive.
Dr. Tamang has all the assignments in the modules folder and they're easy to find. He's always asking students to contact him if concerned and asks for feedback. I don't even like sociology and I had to take this course to graduate, but I still liked the course nonetheless since it was very well done. Would take him again.
Mr. Tamang's course can be challenging at times and may be hard to complete right away but what I think about his course is that even though it is hard at times it is a class very good for challenging your mind and making you think deeper than your average class. I believe this class is a perfect fit for me and will be for many others.
This class was challenging for me at times but I think the challenge gave me a very good understanding of how college work will be when I get there. I say that Mr. Tamang's class was a perfect fit for me and will be for others as well.
Great professor and the course was super easy to navigate. He also responds quickly to emails and is super helpful and understanding. If you complete the assignments on time and with effort you will do just fine. He even offers a virtual notebook through honor education.
I definitely recommend having Mr.Tamang as your professor. His workload is very doable and the weekly expectations are clear. If you stay on track with the assignments you will pass very easily.
The professor did a great job keeping the students engaged. With class materials, he always gave clear instructions on how to achieve the highest grade. My favorite part about class is how he made sure to let every student have their voices heard whenever they had a comment or question on a certain subject.
He is a great professor who grades very easily. As long as you keep up with the quizzes each week, this class is very manageable. Would definitely recommend it!
Prof. Tamang is an amazing teacher who I would definitely recommend. The overall class is very manageable and if you keep up with the quizzes and a few discussions over the semester, you will easily pass.
It is highly recommended that you take classes with Mr. Tamang. The weekly expectations are clear, and his task is extremely manageable. You will pass with ease if you complete the tasks on time.
Just get the work done and you'll be okay.
Hes amazing!! He knows what he's doing and will help you at all costs.
He's amazing!
The directions are very clear and if there are any questions he gives clear and concise answers.
Took this class as part of a credit for my degree/high school requirement. Ended up learning so much about Sociology and what the field is like. Very enjoyable class and the professor is easy to reach outside of regular school hours via email.
Professor Tamang was a great professor. Whenever there was a question I had or needed clarification on, he responded quickly which was helpful on some of the more difficult assignments. He treated everyone with respect as long as we showed him the same courtesy. This was not my first class with him so going in, I knew what was expected of me.
Very good open minded Professor who wants to see you do well. Workload is pretty mild, with a good amount of optional work. would recommend to anyone else looking to take their first sociology class here.
I had an amazing experience in this sociology class this semester. The assignments made difficult concepts easy to understand and kept the class engaging with real-life examples. He was always available to help and genuinely cared about our success.
this course is very interesting. we have great chats about so many stuff. this course teaches you about a lot of important issues and topics. it is very useful. it gives you so much knowledge about many things that happen around the world. it gives you a new perspective of the world. you gain so much knowledge in this class. the professor is nice..
I took Introduction to Criminal Justice and it was a good experience for me. Asha is a great professor and it is very easy to communicate with him, which greatly helps. The coursework is reasonable, although I would advise being proactive when doing this class as missing work can pile up quickly.
very available teacher,also take time to listen to students.
available for student and explain very well course material.
This professor is very nice because he is always willing to help and doesn't take long to respond to emails. His class is very manageable and easy
Everything was great except the timing of the lecture. A three-hour lecture after 6 was a little too much for me, but other than that, you will enjoy it.
I did take this class an an online course, so lectures weren't included, and it was mainly assignment-based. The instructor responds to emails very quickly and does a great job of answering any question you may have. The assignments were pretty straight forward, simple, and easy to navigate. Would take again!
He was always reachable meaning if you needed help he was always there, his class does have a lot of reading but you are actually learning something
Professor Tamang was a great professor. Got back to my emails, makes things clear, and not too many hard assignments. Overall, good professor.
I think this professor did a decent job of being very clear as to what was expected for the class in the syllabus. The textbook was straightforward and made it easy to follow the homework assignments as well. I did not feel overwhelmed by the amount of readings and assignments that were due at the end of the week as well so that was nice.
Criminal Justice covers a variety of topics, so I would encourage you to reach out if in need of assistance. The class structure and flow is easy to follow, and the amount of time given to complete is more than fair based on the scope of the projects. Overall, it was a great class to take.
He is great!
If you have a chance to take this class with Mr. Tamang.
I took intro to sociology (SOC 1110-52) online and it was alright. You read assigned chapters every week and do 10 question quizzes as well. There are bonus assignments to do for extra credit and occasional other required assignments with a lot of writing. Overall a pretty easy class and was one of my least stressful classes of this semester.
Professor Tamang's abilities are truly remarkable. His teaching style is engaging, interactive, and meets the needs of diverse learners. Professor Tamang fosters a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and participating actively in discussions. he is extremely caring and supportive of all his students!
I was just a bad student lol
Professor Tamang is such a wholesome person. When I was falling behind in his class he took it upon himself to reach out to make sure I was aware of falling behind. His grading is not tricky at all, and personally, I feel like he puts his student's needs/issues first above grading. I would totally recommend taking a class from Professor Tamang!!
Straightforward professor that knows what he wants from the students: work hard and complete assignments. Utilize the textbook and practice quizzes. There will be a lot of assignments at first but slowly work through them and ask questions if needed. Read the syllabus!! If you do the work you will do great.
He was very nice and understanding. He really cares about his students learning. Most of the assignments were straight to the point and directions were easy to understand for the most part. He always want students to do their very best they can in his class. He is someone who wants to create a positive learning space for his students.
Professor Tamang, is a great professor. I took an online class and the instructions for this class was very clear. He does give good feedback and allows you to fix your mistakes. He gives an annex of what you should be doing for the week if you choose to do online and it was very helpful!
This is not very lecture heavy, but you do have weekly readings and quizzes to do. There are bonus assignments you could do. I loved this class and learning about the structure of the world. The professor gives clear feedback and I also do online. It was very easy to navigate what we were doing for the week and the assignments though the annex!
Professor Asha Tamang has been an exceptional guide throughout this semester, demonstrating qualities of care, consideration, and excellence in teaching. Their commitment to student success is evident in every aspect of their teaching approach.
Doctor Tamang is a great instructor. If you pay attention to due dates and stay caught up with readings, the quizzes come easy. No big tests or final.
The class with this teacher was very interesting because the way he explained his topics made it very easy for me to understand, in addition to the fact that his methods to make us learn were projects that made my mind work in an educational way. In addition to having different ways of explaining, I really liked taking this class I learned a lot.
he was very reachable meaning if you had any questions he always answered them , in this class you will read but you are learning a lot of new information
The way his syllabus was set up was extremely confusing, a lot of the assignments that were turned in were considered to be not turned in and thus got no credit until later on.
A lot of the assignments were made extremely long for something that needed no more than a simple sentence, into 5.
100% recommend grades on time and respectfully grades assignments.
Mr. Asha Lal Tamang was an amazing professor and helped me really understand how to complete the assignments he gave. I am a PSEO student and was very grateful that he was patient with me.
Asha is a very caring professor and is invested in the wellbeing of his students. He doesn't assign very much work and most of it leads up to the final analysis paper. Asha doesn't give extensive feedback on assignments that are turned in if he feels you did well, but he is available for any questions that you may have, which is helpful.
Asha is a really nice professor who gives feedback and allows others to share their opinions. Class is centered around class participation and weekly assignments.
He gives clear lectures and asks clear discussion questions.
Gives clear lectures and gives great feedback.
Dr. Lal Tamang cares about creating a respectful learning environment for his students and is willing to work with you if you're struggling with course material/having a rough semester.
Professor Lal Tamang creates a respectful learning environment. The class involves clear lectures, great feedback, and engaging discussions. unstuckstudy ai was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, a rewarding and manageable course.

Just pay attention to your class work and please read the syllabus
Just make sure you pay attention and please read the syllabus
He has very good structure, pace, and clarity of the course. He offered an introduction at the beginning of the class to open up a way to communicate our learning styles and if anything important might impact our participation in the class. I really enjoyed how he organized his class.
Just a good professor who knows the subject and is willing to help if needed, as long as you show interest and don't skip classes.
I think this course was fairly easy and the reading material is very informational and easy to understand.
The class is extremely easy.
I loved that we were able to do things on our own. Also how it was our job to look at what the plans are for the week. I found assignments and tests were pretty easy to do.
I recommended taking this class
Professor Asha Tamang effectively teaches the course materials, primarily drawing the lessons from the textbook. He connects current events to the lectures and encourages students to engage in extra work to improve their understanding of the material and apply it more effectively.
Knowledgeable and caring but sometimes hard to understand. He has a high-pitched voice and a strong accent that meant I needed to sit up front to make sure I could hear and follow along with what was said. Sitting up front helped others too. Lots of group discussions so I made some friends in class. Homework was mostly just reading and quizzes,
Professor is kind and only assigns a weekly assignment and an online quiz per week with the chapter reading. It's a pretty easy class if you plan ahead and he'll provide good feedback on assignments. No group projects and completely asynchronous which was great.
Professor Tamang is one of the most lenient and understanding professors that I have had. The course was laid out in a very clear manner. The material was easy to understand. While being somewhat "easy" I feel like I still learned a lot. If you just stay in communication with Tamang, there is no reason why you shouldn't pass this class.
Professor Tamang is awesome! super supportive and gives feedback on assignments. He does hold you responsible for attendance and turning in assignments on time.
Amazing professor, interesting topics. He gives clear instructions on assignments, interesting discussions, lots of extra credit. Just take his class, you won't regret it.
It was a very professional and peaceful work environment. I learned a lot.
Sociology is my major, so I was especially interested in this class. I found the workload to be very manageable. Professor was clearly knowledgeable and interested in the subject and encouraged discussions amongst classmates. He was prompt with correspondence. I'd definitely be interested in taking another course instructed by him again.
The professor is easy to connect with for help/feedback in how to do assignments, everything is presented very clear online that makes it easy to stay on top of work. He encourages discussions between students which I feel is very, very important for a class like sociology. He's willing to accommodate with you, it's a relaxed class and professor.
great proffesor
Tamang did a research paper as extra credit, so participating in it helps your grade a lot. The topic is your choice, so it is very interesting and helpful for the future. The class is easy if you get your stuff done and pay attention. Tamang is very friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this course with Tamang!
Professor Tamang is awesome! I took intro to sociology this semester at normandale and loved it. The entire semester is layed out from start to finish with due dates at the beginning of the semester which is nice to be able to work ahead. The class is mostly made up of discussions and quizzes.
Sent out the weekly modules with all of the resources for the students to work on. Let us work ahead on bonus point assignments to earn extra credit. Weekly 10 question quizzes every week on the textbook. He is very assemble to email and get help from.
The class had a really good balance of lectures and assignments. It made me genuinely interested in learning more about sociology. I would definitely take another course with Prof. Tamang in the future if I have the chance. If you're looking for a professor who truly cares about helping students understand the material, I highly recommend him!
Professor Asha is one of the best professors I've had. Their materials are explained really well, and their lectures are organized and interactive. Even the hard topics are taught in a way that's simple and understandable. I really appreciate how supportive they are and I would highly recommend professor Asha to students.
Professor Tamang is excellent. This class is not overly difficult, I would highly recommend to other students. The professor has clear expectations and anyone who stays up to date on homework is sure to do well. There are ample opportunities for extra credit if it is needed. 10/10 class with interesting content.
The professor explained very clearly what was required from me. There were many opportunities to earn extra credit. He responded to emails quickly. The assignments were not difficult but were interesting. It's important to know how to properly cite sources in order to successfully complete the course. It was an online course
This professor was very laid back. He has a lot of lectures.
Professor Tamang is a really flexible person. If you're the type to fall behind sometimes (like me) don't stress, he's really chill about it. The quizzes don't have closed submission deadlines. I would definitely recommend if you want to learn about sociology at a chill pace.
He is very clear with instructions and his lectures, they're easy to follow. He's also willing to work with you if you fall behind (like I did), you just have to reach out to him and catch up. It's clear that he enjoys teaching Sociology and I enjoyed and learned a lot throughout the course! (I only fell behind due to personal issues).
Professor Tamang is a no-nonsense and well-structured teacher who presents ideas simply and relates them to the outside world. She's understanding, offers constructive criticism, and maintains a good class atmosphere. I learned a lot and would highly recommend her to other students.
Professor Asha Lal Tamang is a very good teacher with a very straightforward and uncomplicated approach to teaching. Complex ideas are simplified, and complex content is broken into little bits and pieces. In short, Professor is good communicator, good teacher, and helpful individual, all of which allow students to perform well.
good class
Asha was a great professor and lecturer! Our class wasn't the greatest at participating, but he tried to always ask questions and facilitate discussions. Through this, I was able to make some friends outside of the class! He is also very understanding and caring if you are going through a difficult situation; with Asha, communication is key!
This professor is Amazing, for reason I will not disclose I was unable to submit assignments for several weeks. After a while I was trying to catch up on assignments and the professor was very understanding of my situation. The very next day I checked my grade and they already graded all the assignments I submitted late. 10/10 would take again.
I definitely learned a lot from Ashas class. The material was useful and interesting. He responds to emails quickly which is great. I would recommend him to a friend.
Asha Lal Tamang was very understanding throughout the semester and offered many resources to remain successful. I truly appreciate that his course is able to be taken at the individual's own speed. This was a lifesaver while working a full-time job.
He is very easy-going and nice, but he lacks in communication; at least I thought there could have been more reminders about the quizzes, assignments, and discussions that are due.
Professor. Asha Lal Tamang is a highly skilled professional. His engaging and well-structured teaching methods make the concepts much simpler to understand. He has a talent for breaking down difficult material into clear, manageable explanations and frequently using real-world examples that enhance comprehension.
Well organized modules in online learning. Assignments were not difficult and were given good enough time for due dates.
My professor was very easy going and one I ended up liking to the point I took another one of his courses. He does a good job at letting the materials be accessible to us early to give us the option of how we wanted to use our time. He probably wanted to see if we would use it consecutively or not. I am glad he let us access our stuff on our time.
This professor is there when you need him doesn't hoover but always there when you reach out for help
Great Instructor. Follow the sullabus and the scheadule and you'll be all good.
Very Easy class to take, I enjoyed every bit when I was there. the assignments are not hard very easy to understand. I recommend him 100%
Straightforward course and assignments
Professor Asha is a great online instructor. Periodically checking in and being available throughout the semester made the course less stressful.
Dr. Asha Lal Tamang is a great teacher, who proves to be knowledgeable in the field of Sociology as well as community-oriented policing. She has a participative, explicit and student-focused teaching style, which makes complex ideas understandable to all students.
Through this class, Professor Tamang is great with guiding the class with the topic of sociology and does a good job with breaking down the topics, so it is more digestible. If you take this class, it will be a good introduction into sociology.
His class is good, and you will learn a lot of interesting things about sociology. he does a good job explaining class material. It's not just a long dragged-out lecture. he keeps it fast moving and interesting. there is TONS of extra credit opportunity's His classes are quick, and he doesn't waste your time. very laid back and chill, no stress.
Dr. Tamang's class is easy and quick if you want an easy A, but the one thing I disliked this semester was that he'd cut students off a lot during lectures whenever trying to discuss the course content. I'd take his class if you're just looking for an easy low effort A, but if you seek to engage critically in the course content look elsewhere
I think Professor Tamang is fair. He lectures on assignments that are assigned and due. Although sometimes he was hard to understand (English isn't his1st language), he never hesitated or got offended when asked to clarify or repeat. I like the fact that a check in is included in your grade so you know where you stand & he can give feedback & help.
I want to just say that I appreciate the communication that you give and the willingness to help and understand to what help is needed.
This course is very straight to the point. If you participate, do the work on time, and submit quality work, you are sure to get a good grade. This course included matching activities using terms and vocab from the textbook, as well as quizzes, and textbook readings. This course is a great model of how an online course should be structured.
Professor Tamang is very adept at keeping the class transparently updated on grading and class progress via both email and D2L announcements.
This professor is very helpful and gives students the opportunity to do extra credit for better grades. As long as you put in the hours to learn the materials of the class, you will do well! The assignments are not excessive and there are no surprise pop quizzes. This professor helps his students and encourages having a good school/life balance.
Great class.
Kind, thoughtful and engaging. I never felt nervous to speak up or share my opinion.
I truly enjoyed this class and appreciated how kind and supportive the instructor was. I learned a great deal and gained valuable knowledge throughout the course.
Asha Tamang is accurate with his grading/advice that he gives you. I think he is understanding and does want to help you succeed not just give you pointless challenges or unnecessary obstacles.
