it probably had a lot to do with the class itself, but Khalsa was, is, and always will be the very best instructor at Pierce. the class was four times a week for just over an hour each day. i looked forward to this class. I intend to take this class again, and if Khalsa isnt the instructor, then i wont take it, end of story. Khalsa needs to teach more classes at this school. I'd probly get a higher GPA if he did, lol.

Teaches some hard stuff ... but teaches it well.

Very good teacher. Not for slackers. If you want to learn it, this is the man to teach it!

fun to be in class

Mr. Khalsa is an awesome teacher. He knows what he's talking about and he knows how to teach it to make students understand what he is talking about. He's funny and is a great story teller. TAKE THIS CLASS OR AT LEAST KHALSA!!!

Way way hard.

Awesome guy!

I Loved this class. He's such a fun guy the way he gets so animated when he's talking about certain things. Also his video collection is quite extensive. Great professor. Love Him

very good

khalsa is good, i just did not do so well.

good teacher. make sure you read the book so when he calls on you, you're prepared. fun class that i always enjoyed attending.

I took Khalsa's sociology class and it was a hybrid of online and in-class. He assigns a lot of work but he is very fun and open to new ideas. He does call on you so make sure you're focused. He has lot's of stories. Very good teacher, reccommended though if you want an easy A without much work than he is probably not for you.

great teacher taking him now..and i think he kinda cute too..

One of the best teachers I've ever had.

I took his online class. If you are willing to put in the effort to get the work done on time it's really quite easy to understand. His tests refer to info in the text so it's a good idea to at least review it with his slide shows. He's a great person ho is always willing to help and answer questions. I'm taking him again next qtr!& told others too

Once you learn the hybrid black board set up class is super easy, assignments are fun.

Great professor! It's always fun attending his courses.

Being in class is a must!

great teacher. it seems that the bad reviews came from some serious slackers. My studying is average in this class and i still have a good grade. Teacher is funny, helpfull, and is really good at giving examples of the material that you can relate to. i would definitely recommend him.

Great teacher! So fun and easy to listen too. But you have to do the readings and pay attention in class. Tests are pretty tricky though. Just study a lot, and you'll do great

Probably the hardest class i've taken. Lowest GPA I ever go. He's a good teacher, but very very difficult. I could understand everything, but when it came to the tests, it was really hard to figure out what exactly they were asking, honestly. I hated how there were things on angel AND in class. It made it hard to remember when things were due.

Khalsa is a great teacher. His syllabus is very detailed on what is expected. His assignments are very time consuming, but are not very difficult. I took his online class and received a rather decent grade. If there is an issue or question email him and within 24 hours he will send a reply. The DVD logs are really long...

Great teacher! Very engaging. Not an "easy A" teacher.

He is AMAZING! i loved his class- he is not an easy 'a' but he gives you plenty of opportunities to raise your grade- he makes everything so easy to understand and he makes sure to help where you need it. he involves everyone and knows what he is doing! TAKE HIM!

What a wonderful experience. Khalsa has an interesting and fun approach to teaching psychology (his accent keeps me awake). Study hard for quizzes and exams; they're all online but not too difficult if you read the chapters. Yes, he has "cell phone garages." But they are only so his students are not distracted; makes sense to me.

Lectures are always interesting, and I would gladly have Mr. Khalsa for an instructor again. Lots of reading and online tests can be tricky, but not too difficult. He has a great personality and there are opportunities for extra credit. I learned a lot in a short period of time and was disappointed to see the quarter come to an end.

This class was alot of fun.learned a lot of useful knowledge and easy to learn from him.A lot of reading but he grades fairly. I would definantly take this class again.

I took this class online and was shocked by how writing intensive it was. I was writing between 1800-2200 words a week for this course to get an 'A'. He grades by word count. The assignments aren't hard but are extremely time consuming. He is very helpful when answering questions and he is very clear on what is expected of his students.

Mr. Khalsa is awesome!!!!!!! Very knowledgeable, he has like 3 masters and a doctorate in psychology, very fun, very interesting, tries very hard to make it interesting, and I'd recommend to anyone!!!!!!!

Very good teacher. Loves what he teaches. He is from Germany, and has an accent, but he is easy to understand. His exams and quizzes are hard, but 30% of grade is just participation so that helps.

Great teacher! One of the best. Textbook is required, but I never bought one, and I got an A. Weekly quizzes are a little challenging. Lectures are very entertaining. Leon is a great teacher who has a passion for the subject. You will learn a lot and enjoy yourself.

Great teacher, would recommend him anyday! Very structured lively, and funny!

His online class is a lot of work but you do learn a lot. He has very set expectations and lays them out clearly. If you follow the expectations you will get 100% on all submitted work. Very helpful and kind. The tests are easy if you read and take notes. Also know key terms and people well. Great class and if you do the work you will get a 4.0!

It was a pretty simple class. There is an online quiz roughly every week, and three required online exams for the whole quarter. Leon offers extra credit opportunities to help those who have fallen behind a little. Class attendance and participation is also included in your grade so show up.

You are expected to learn every detail of the text book yet the information he lectures really has nothing to do with the text book. Overall it was an interesting class. You just have to put in a lot of work.

Excellent professor! Strange how he managed to be so lively and engaging from 8:00-10:00pm every night. Psychology itself is a very broad topic which is why quizzes and exams tend to be difficult. Luckily, he grades very fairly with extra credit and curves. I recommend a study group. My two friends and I came out with 4.0's because of our group.

Online course is challenging. Required to write 3 paragraphs for each 5 minute clip of a 30 minute DVD lessons. Complete overkill and distracts from the overall concepts of the lessons. And then your grade is based on word counts rather than content. You will learn a lot in this class but the amount of writing is asinine for a 100 level course.

Great helpful teacher, gave extra points on exams because of a language barrier. Very understanding if you are unable to finish an assignment on time.

This class required A LOT of work, but it also forced me to concentrate on the topic and improve my writing. He is a fair grader and gives an additional 10 points on each exam to account for any ambiguously worded questions.

Wonderful class! I took his online Soc class and loved it! There's a lot of writing (about 3000 words a week), and a good amount of reading (a chapter a week from the textbook and some weeks articles as well). The class is very organized, informative and really fun! I really enjoyed it. The final was optional because one test grade is dropped too!

Professor Khalsa is very simple and to the point. If you do the work you will get a good grade. I only missed one assignment the whole quarter and ended with an A-! Yes it is A LOT OF WORK and a A LOT OF writing ABOUT 3000 words per week plus a quiz adn discussion and responses. the dvd logs are killer and annoying but i learned SO MUCH RECCOMEND

LOTS OF WORK! There was a ton of work to do every week and most of it was boring and irrelevant to the topic. It seemed like busy work to me. Also, make sure if you take this class online that you use the online book unless you will get marked down 10% of your final grade

very nice man, there is way to much writting, he only gives you 20 minutes to take a 15 question test in which are like straight from the book!! DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU WANT A MAJOR CHALLENGE!!!!

I took this class for American Honors, and it was pretty easy. Offers tons of extra credit, and has a different approach to lectures that really causes the information to stick. He is also really clear on Canvas, He uploads the modules every week and it was all pretty routing. I would take this class over and over again.

This class was somewhat easy. The professor gives feedback on your submissions and is quite helpful. He actually checks in with you occasionally and gets back to you quickly. He gives extra credit but you have to work for it. Every other week theres a DVD assignment that will require about 2.5 hours of your time. But this class is an easy A.

A lot of work, but I found it beneficial in the long run! Though it was online, I had gained a lot of knowledge as though it was a classroom. Always answered questions promptly, and kindly. Again I stress the a lot of work, I set aside an hour and a half a day, but again it is totally worth it! Enjoyed the class overall!

I found Professor Khalsa to be mind-opening. I had not experienced some things before sociology (well, and known what they were.) I was an online student. There is a lot of reading and writing required. It's very time consuming. I did not like the My Soc Lab portion: it felt like Trivial Pursuit and detracted from the good stuff.

Mr. Kalsa was an amazing professor! He really helped everything stick in your brain with his "velcro" technique and he was very funny. Do be aware of some cursing, if you're not into that I don't recommend this class. He can be very raw at times and some people don't enjoy that out of a teacher, but I found it great :)

He is a great professor and he clearly answered all of my questions. He left specific and helpful comments on my assignments. Every other week there is a big assignment but it gets easier after time. I would take his class again if I could. I took this class online and I was nervous about that but it was way better than I expected.

If you procrastinate, this class is not for you! Although this class requires a LOT of work and studying, I found it very beneficial and gained more knowledge than I would have with another professor. He gives excellent feedback and really cares about his student's success. As long as you put the effort into it, it's honestly an easy A.

Very easy A if you are willing to put in the time. It's open book texts that are timed. If you put in a few hours with the weekly discussion boards, and read his instructions carefully you're sure to get an A+

I love the way Leon interacts with all the students throughout the class. I was really nervous about it at first because he will call on people at random but it has been really helpful in understanding what we're learning. He focuses a lot on creating unique ways to remember things in his class which is also very useful.

This class was online and I loved it. He is very straight forward about grading. Only a few assignments a week but require a lot of time. If you have good time management you will be great, if not you can still pass with a decent grade. He gives great feedback on every assignment, very much recommend!

Leon Khalsa was a great Professor! His tests and exams can be pretty difficult so make sure you study. Hes hilarious, and very helpful. His enthusiasm and positivity make the class very enjoyable.

Leon is an amazing professor. I wish more professor taught the way he does. You know his class is awesome when everyone is constantly laughing/smiling. The only problem I had was all of the constant online work, easy but tedious.

He used multiple forms of teaching and assignments throughout the whole quarter and made the online class interactive. At the end of the quarter he bumped my grade up, and after each assignment he would give feedback.

The best professor I've ever met. His lectures really got me interested in psychology even though I'm a computer science major. I'm now taking psychology as my minor.

Online, super easy, 3 assignments a week, practice test, and test, looked up on quizlet. One big assignment every Sunday 2 hours tops, gives feedback on what to do to get an A next time. Finished all work in one day.

3 exams, each exam going over 3 chapters. 1 optional final exam, for kids who missed one of the previous 3 exams. 3ish launchpad assignments per chapter, then a practice quiz and quiz for each chapter. Gives extra credit opportunities. I personally found the class relatively easy and fun, it helps if you're already interested in the course topic

A great professor overall. He definitely likes you to do some reading, but his in class instruction is really solid and does a good job clearing up key information. However, tests and quizzes rely very heavily on information in the textbook. Youll also find no shortage of life advice in the class, which is something I really wasnt expecting.

Leon really cares about your grade. There were a few times I forgot about an assignment, so he would send a canvas notification to remind me. The DVD assignments take a lot of time, and are worth a lot of your grade, but are not too difficult. You just have to be willing to put in the effort and you should receive a solid grade. Highly recommend:)

A class based on being able to recite a textbook. Not my favorite class, it made me change my major from Psychology to my backup. He is very passionate and well aware of peoples sensitivities. He offers extra credit, but he is a teacher who gives you lengthy assignments when he cancels class. He also calls on people randomly, so focus. A 6.5/10.

Professor Khalsa was great! He is very caring and he lets you know he cares about your grade in the class. When something is due and has not been turned in yet, he lets you know what will be due soon and how important it is to turn it in or it will impact your grade. His tests are easy if you read the book!

Professor Khalsa was one of the best teachers I have had. He seemed to actually care about his students. If you hadn't turned something in and the due date was near he would send you a reminder telling you that he didn't want you to miss any points. He seemed interested in what he was teaching and interested in his students as well.

He was a good professor. He graded quickly and gave good feedback and had opportunities for extra credit. His exams were hard and very specific so you have to know the material well and memorize many details. There were no video lectures; you read a chapter, took quizzes, participate in a group discussion or DVD lesson, and then took the exam.

Nicest professor ever! But his class is tough. Each week there is: 1-2 chapters of reading (3-4 hrs), participation assignment (1hr), DVD or DB which involve a lot of writing (2-5 hrs), practice quiz (15 min), and a moderately easy chapter quiz. He grades easy if he sees effort applied and is very understanding and intelligent. Take this class!

Leon Khalsa was a good teacher! He gave clear grading criteria and gave feedback that was extremely helpful. He always graded things quickly and gave extra credit. I would take another class that he taught because he was so helpful. Also, I did not even read the textbook like at all and I still managed to get an A. It was an easy class overall! :)

I had him online so I cant speak to his actual class. But I have not read the book since the second module and I still have a 98 in his class. Its the same thing every week so youll never be surprised. And he gives amazing feedback. Do the work and you should be fine cuz I normally dont even know what Im talking about.

Professor Khalsa cares a lot about his class, and it shows. His feedback is always valuable and chock full of life advice, and the curriculum he uses is very informational. Hes also a pretty mild grader and a generally cool guy, but you definitely need to keep up with the assigned reading to understand what the quizzes are asking you.

His homework was very easy, he has templates for all of the homework so if you do your work on those guidelines, you'll easily get a 100%. His homework switches every week, one week its a discussion board, the next a dvd lesson journal and then quizzes. Read the chapters, they're very important! The journal is lengthy but not difficult.

Professor Khalsa is a very nice professor and is willing to help his students and answer questions. He responds to your messages in a timely manner. Yes, the homework can be tough such as some of the discussion board topics he gives and there is a lot of writing and reading involved. There's about 3 quizzes each week, but its doable. :)

Professor Leon should have a much higher rating. He is great, cares for his students, and has a love for teaching. Classwork is very heavy but necessary. A chapter reading and a couple of homework assignments a week, but totally doable. He helped me out a lot and his way of teaching and providing resources is amazing, especially for an online class

If you are looking for an engaging class that has a lot of work but is all easy, this is the class for you. the workload is all worth it due to his heavy engagement and amazing constructive feedback on every discussion or assignment you turn in. It felt like having a free therapist that made sure you are pulling your weight while cheering your on.

This professor is such a sweet man, butttt this coursework is actually extremely trying if you have other responsibilities.

I loved the teaching method .

12 late turn-ins. I had to communicate with him about why and show I was still woking. Participation and Communication matters and helps a lot. There was lots of quizzes and writing and there are DVD videos to watch. It was calm but I had to stay on it. He messaged me with reminders. I don't think we had a book but the videos were the text book. :)
