Took the class online and Sociology was never this hard before! This professor knew his stuff, was helpful with students, very easy to cope with in terms of project submission.

This guy is friendly, but he is a A$$ when it comes to grading. Even If you write an A+ paper, he will find a way to give you an 80 or a C. If you want to earn a good honest grade and learn something, DO NOT take this class. If you want to learn and not get punished for being an A student, DON'T take this class.

Grades on a scale of 1-80. Will not let you get anything higher than a B- ... Freud himself would finish the class with a C. Harsh grader, and gives far too much information online for anyone to trully learn. Teachers are supposed to teach and let ripe minds flourish, not dish out B's and C's to hardworking students. My advice, STAY AWAY!

Arrogant guy. Impossible to get an A on anything (and this is coming from a student on the Dean's List with straight A's). Not friendly, belittles you, and does not offer help. If you want a professor that cares, look elsewhere. You can be an A student and put forth your best and still almost fail. Beware!

Too much reading and writing in this Online class, the professor is nice but HARD grading and gave tough assignments. You have to study everyday from the book and the notes and there is a possibility to do extra credits which are interesting. Doing all that you still won't get an A. I DON'T recommend this class!!

He simply sucks with all his harsh comments on the reaction reports and assignments. I would rather go to class and not take him as an online professor.

Dr. Kassop is an excellent teacher of sociology. He is clearly passionate about this subject, and though the course is not easy, it is well worth the time and effort. i would certainly take on another online course with Dr. Kassop at the helm.

Dr. Kassop is a great teacher! I went into this course simply looking to get some electives covered; I really think I benefited from this course! You must not fall behind. It is a lot of material, but if you keep up, you will do well and will enjoy this course. Dr. Kassop always responds quickly to emails and is very accessible. Highly recommended!

Took this as an online class over the summer. Dr. Kassop would send constant email reminders on work to be done and due dates. He is flexible on when reports could be handed in and offers an extension if requested early enough. Also offers extra credit opportunities.

really nice teacher. multiple choice test for each unit online. He uses moodle alot so its very helpful. he puts his own online notes on moodle so you should bring to those to class. you should get the book because there are questions on the test that we didnt learn. for extra credit do the linkletters for each unit (very easy).

Very helpful, Responds very quickly to emails. Took him for the 7 week online soc-103 class. wasn't a heavy workload, but it can seem that at times. You just need to read the syllabus carefully. Extremely good feedback, for our class, we had recommended due dates for assignments, he didn't penalize students for late assignments.

You MUST have text, all work uses book as reference. He provides notes, and chances for extra credit. Gives timely feedback, with positive comments and suggestions on how to improve. Makes himself available, for questions and and clarifications.

Eh, if you have to it won't kill your GPA. If theres another option I would recommend going for that. Its pretty clear he doesn't believe in giving A grades.

Professor Kassop was awesome. He is not boring at all. He talks alot about his family and himself as it relates to topics. The test are taken online. If you report to class and take notes you will pass his class with no problem. He is very nice and is always available via email etc for help if needed as well as office hours.

2017S2 SOC-103-098WB 5 week course, If you dont have the time, do fall/spring. Follow the protocol dont fall behind & you will pass. Dr. Kassop is fair, gives extra credit opt, grades & responds to emails quickly. Do practice quizzes, cite multiple theories/sociologists in RRs. Midterm harder than final. Excellent Professor!

Well organized w/ study guides. There is a lot of reading and 4 reaction reports you must do. Turn around for grading is great. His comments can be extremely harsh. I got an 85 on a paper and his comments made me feel like I submitted complete trash. He's not easy but not terrible. Took away extra credit ops mid term with no explanation why.
