He is a very nice man, and tries very hard to make sure everyone understands the material. He is a little vaque on some things, and the tests are more dificult than expected, but he grades on a curve and wants everyone to pass.

He's really nice, but pretty boring!! Good class discussions, but boring lectures Alot of text book reading that you have to do cause thats all the midterms are about- there are about a million midterms, but no cummulative final! I would take someone else

Ha is a great teacher. I love watching him drink water. In this course, he curved his tests so that about 25% of the class got A's. A majority of the class is group discussions, and I highly recommend it (if you can deal with the idiots in your class making absurd comments).

This is the second class I've taken with Ha. I think he is only boring if you don't care about what he has to say. H curves tests so it is very easy to get an A.

Man Ha is the coolest professor out there, it's hard to say why, but if you have his class he is totally cool, also he knows what he is talking about and can make good examples

Ha was a very nice guy, but somewhat lethargic.. someitmes I wanted to shake him to get his words out faster.. prolly the easiest class i've taken.. he practically gives you the test to take home and study. Good guy.

i took it online and it was great :) the tests were a lil off when we took them IN class... but it was good

Good teacher, focus more on the reading and less on the lectures. Over half the class didnt attend more then half the time. An easy 'B'..

Good teacher, dry sense of humor, open to questions. Lots of reading, no homework, graded on exams. Ha provides excellent website for class info and study guide material. Several films shown. Extra credit for even small amount of class participation. Friendly guy.

A really nice guy, made everyone feel comfortable. Lectures were pretty long, kind of mono tone, but a good sense of humor. Not a difficult class, but a ridiculous amount of reading.

He's really into class discussion. The class is really interesting,and he curves the tests.

Loved the class. Excellent teacher.

Prof. Ha was extremely helpful and willing to take the time needed to assist me in my studies.

Mr. Ha is an awesome professor. His lectures are full of information and well organized. He is very caring and willing to help you succeed. Make sure you do all the readings.

Dr. Ha's class was great. It was a perfect "no stress" course after having some extreme classes. I mean "no stress" in a good way. I learned A LOT, and found all of the info very relevant. To pass with a good grade you simply need to care about your GPA. The reading can be dry sometime but the subject matter always varies to spark some interest.

If you care about your GPA you will get a good grade, period. It's a great no stress class after taking some heavy courses. I hate to say it's an easy A because you have to show up, pay attention, and do some reading, but that really is it. He does EXTENSIVE review the class day before the test which pretty much spells out what you need to know.

This class opened my eyes to the world and Ha was a great, passionate, and informative. He enjoyed and encouraged students to speak up and discuss material. He always let you know what was going to be on tests and was always open to talking outside of class or after to help students with anything they were having trouble on. A worth it challenge!

Dr.Ha, is an excellent teacher, who is passionate about Sociology. He is also a kind and understanding person, who always makes himself avaiable to students who need his help. The class lectures are in power point and available onlne. They cover reading assignments and a study guide review for exams. A great plus! A great course! Enjoy:)

Dr. Ha is a great teacher. He cares about sociology not only as an academic subject but as a way of looking at one's place in society. He is really helpful, and I highly recommend going to office hours to ask questions; he has lots of useful and insightful answers. There is a good amount of reading (it's college), but the essays are interesting.

I wouldn't say the class was "easy" because there is actually studying and reading involved in a few different books. I did the 9 week course online. He makes the assignments very clear and simple. I enjoyed the discussions and the tests are very easy if you did the assigned readings. I loved the class!

strait-forward class. show up for lecture and take mediocre notes and you will pass all of his tests. do the assigned reading in addition to the note taking and you will ace all of his tests. attendance is not required and not necessary because he puts all his slides and lecture notes online. good discussions, interesting reading material.

GREAT teacher. Prof. Ha is awesome with his feedback and his input. You REALLY need to stay up on the reading or you'll fall behind. It's a heavy work load, but well worth it and the discussions are fun and engaging.

SUPER easy class. All I did was show up for class, go over lectures and study guides for the midterms and do the 5 hw assignments and I got an A. Kinda boring class, and he is a little awkward, but hey, its and easy A!

Took this class and was amazed by how easy it is. Ha is very awkward, but it's not unbearable. Don't buy the textbook, you wont need it. Take this class if you want an easy A.

This was a great class! Although I am not a sociology major, the material was thought-provoking and fun to learn. Dr. Ha is very clear about what is necessary to get an A. I felt like the so-called "awkwardness" people have mentioned was due to his dry sense of humor, which I enjoyed. Get into the material and take a fresh look at mankind!

This was my second online class. Although online classes are some what difficult, I enjoyed the class and the teacher was nice. Its a relatively easy class, as long as you READ a little everyday, you wont fall behind. Study guides are exactly whats on the test plus other reading. I would recommend taking this class online! I really enjoyed it :D

I LOVE Professor Ha!!!He really is a great professor :)I enjoyed his intro to sociology and race/ethnicity classes. I learned so much and used all of the resources he provided such as lecture notes, the textbook, and his willingness to answer questions.He is very straightforward and funny.If you don't do well,please reevaluate your academic life! !

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 the test is from the power points. The class is also incredibly boring. Just study and review material and you will be fine. No need to waste your time showing up.

TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE! you take three major tests on campus, his tests are literally WORD-FOR-WORD off the printable study guides. dont waste sitting in the classroom, lots of reading at first but once you get the hang of it, it's an easy A. Teacher is super chill during tests too

Hands down easiest class I took at Cuesta. You can skim the power points before walking into a test and ace it. Offers a super straightforward research paper (just your own thoughts) to replace your lowest test score or the place of your final. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOKS YOU WILL NEVER OPEN THEM (This is coming from someone who bought every textbook)

I LOVE HIM!!! seriously he wants to help students he is the greatest! TAKE HIM

Mr. Ha is a great teacher! Loved his class. He was so organized with power points, study guides and assignments. I look forward to his Race and Ethnic Relations class next semester.

I took this class online and it was very easy. He has study guides for each test that are the questions on the test and this is very helpful. A long nights study session the night before the test and you can land A, and learn a lot. This is a must take ONLINE class!

He is an awsome person that actually cares

SUPER EASY CLASS. As long as you do the study guides, you'll ace the tests. This class is comprised of social forums in which you have to contribute for a participation grade and 5 exams. Great class!

Professor Ha was great. This was an online class and even though there was minimal contact, you can tell he genuinely cares. I wish I had taken a face to face class with him. Definitely recommend

Online Class ,9 weeks long. 2 chapters a week. 5 tests. 1st midterm 60 questions 2 chapters, 2nd midterm 2 tests total for 100 questions 4 chapters, Final was 104 questions made of last 4 chapters. Must post online! Its points based class. Do extra credit! I had B and 2 A's from tests and still a D, had to rely on the finals to make sure I passed.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Prof Ha is the most interesting teacher you can take for SOC. I changed my major after i took his class.

SO. SO. SO MANY PAPERS. The review from 2020 is absolutely right, this class is 2-3x the work in other classes. A 900 word paper every week + quizzes + regular homework. However, its very hard not to get an A or B in this class if you do the work.

The coursework is very straightforward and his grading is fair, but there is lots of assigned reading.

This class was very homework/quiz heavy but overall not impossible. He also allows you to retake one quiz per module (there's 2 quizzes every week or so). The study guides he uploads are identical to quizzes. His essay/post discussion instructions were super clear and he's very quick at responding to emails. And there's no penalty for late work!!
