Even if you are taking the Path of Slack trough college, you might get a C- in Gassman’s class; but if you do nothing but stay awake in his class, you will learn history despite yourself because this guy tells great stories and shows great films. He doesn't stimulate debate in the class, which I crave, but he covers the controversies of this count

This is a very easy teacher. Easy A. You don't even have to pay attention in class. The tests are a snap. Only bad thing about this class was that I felt like I was back in grade school with his animated stories. He even used the movie Gladiator to teach the class about Roman times. I love History, hated this class!

The Boss is an awesome teacher. He makes history fun and exciting, and his classes are slack-off, do-nothing B's, and easy A's. Sometimes he gets excited and starts talking a little too fast, but all you have to do is ask him to slow down and repeat himself, and he will. I highly reccomend this class, unless of course you actually like being bored.

His classes are pretty easy. Mid-term and finals are based on the topics of lecture and the only time you need to use the textbook is for the timeline assignment and for quotes on the final and mid-term.

Mr. Gassman is one of the best history professors one could take at WCC, so it is no surprise that his classes fill up so quickly! Attendance is taken everyday, and your grade is based off of a couple assignments, the midterm and final! If you go to class, take notes, and use your textbook for quotes to use on the exams, you'll pass the class.

Personally, he was one of my favorite teachers, his class is easy online, you basically just look at the slides (sometimes a lot of slides) and copy them down and answer the questions then submit by Friday, and you receive the work by Monday, he is very understanding and if your having an issue just tell him and he will do his best to help you.

Professor Gassman is an incredible teacher that cares about your grade and doesn't want you to suffer doing ridiculous assignments. He has assignments every week that are really easy because there are few short lecture (around 5 minutes) and then a assignment where everything is found in a power point. Midterm and Final are fairly easy.

Professor Gassman is AMAZING! He assigns 1-2 weekly assignments that are due on Friday and all the answers are either in his short lecture videos or PowerPoints. There is a midterm and final which involve having to write two 1,000 word essays which arent difficult however, could be time consuming. He also offers extra credit.

This guy is just a good professor. It's super easy to cheat and get away with it in this class simply because historical information is readily available through simple search and paste. However, he will give you feedback on how you should use notes and PowerPoints to find the answers. Overall, he's a really good professor.

Gassman is an amazing professor! I had him for all 3 of his online history courses during COVID. They all came with 1 assignment a week with questions directly from the lecture. There was also two 1,000 word essays for the midterm and the final. Today, there is no homework. There is now only the midterm and final essays for the semester.

Professor Gassman was amazing! I had him in person for US history and he was very funny and kept his lectures engaging. I liked taking notes in his class because it kept me busy but also bc it helped me create an "outline" of my midterm in finals. His class will not add to your workload if you just need credits done.

Chill easy and funny class; my only issue with him was him talking over me. For an assignment, I had to write whether or not I found the Declaration of Independence revolutionary; I said no because its racist, misogynistic, etc. with direct quotes. It then turned into an argument where I was cut off, & brushed off with "I'll respect your opinion"
