Overall he's a great professor (with a pathological hate towards Abercombie) He's pretty funny and very helpful =]

EASIEST CLASS i've taken so far at Towson. HE gives a lot of work, like 60 second responses, but they are not hard. Do the reading and pay attention in class and you will pass the class with an A. Very funny guy, relates topics to everyday life, which makes it so much easier to understand the material.

Great teacher. I had this class at 8am and it was by far my favorite. He's a younger guy and keeps the lectures involved, up-beat, and interesting. You do need to keep up with the reading and work (many short papers and two longer ones), but they are not difficult assignments and he is a lenient grader.

I honestly did not like him as a person, and thought the class was gonna be a nightmare. And even with this belief i still did very well in his class. He makes sure you get a good grade in his class. He opens many opportunities for extra credit/ He wants you to pass, and will make sure you do. TAKE HIM

An alright teacher, can be very arrogant. I enjoyed a lot of the discussions in the class and found them interesting. While the work was not hard their was a lot of it and if you were not willing to do it don't expect him to give sympathy.I think he expects too much I would say take it if you are serious about the class. Don't think its an easy A.

I took this class over the summer, so my opinion may be different/irrelevant to you. But I thought that he was a nice teacher. Funny. Looks like Geoffrey from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Tests (at least over the summer) are easy all you have to do is study vocabulary words. If you participate in class discussions its fun and will help you get an A =)

I took him last year for Sociology 101. Controversial topics help understanding as well as interest. To be completely honest, Professor Dashiell is the reason I chose Sociology as my major. If you want a BS easy A, not him. If you want a great class, and are willing to do the work. He's your guy. I'm looking forward to SOCI 243 with him over winter

Great teacher. Maybe a little to easy on grading but my only real issue with him was that he lets the class take over during lectures even if they are complete idiots. I felt like he taught less and let the class talk more than neccesary.

Best prof. I've had coming from a computer science major, very down to earth and related to current social times. lectures really hit home, and can be fun and interesting. There is alot of writing, but thats expected in college. Would def refer to students.

Very helpful teacher. easy to understand doesn't give hard assignments just do what he says.... makes class very interesting and fun!!! enjoyed this class a lot! will take his class again very fun

Prof dashiell was truly an inspiration. Dont let his good looks and youthful appearance fool you. This man has accumulated decades if knowledge in his 30-some years, and with his ability to read 150 wpm, he's packing more in (often in form of his assignments)But knowledge alone doesn't make him great. He's determined to see his students evolve.

Took class summer 2011, 5 reflection responses (easy), 3 two page Reaction papers (easy), and 1 three page Observation paper (easy). Final that consist of 3 questions (must be able to elaborate on topics given) you can write 1 paragraph or 5 paragraphs. However, you must answer the question and explain in detail. Good Prof, good class.

I LOVE Prof. Dashiell. He seems intimidating at first but he's very funny. Only tests are a midterm and a final. 2 response papers- one on Jersey Shore and then a family oriented show. 4 page paper on people watching at Towson mall & a final paper on a group at TU. Class isn't mandatory. Not bad for an 8am, I'd take him again! :)

He is intimidating, but don't keep that from taking his class. He is stict on things like font, and will make you scared of messing up. His assignments are very fair and understandable, and he has a great sense of humor, and class discussions are usually really interesting.

He's a cool teacher. He seems mean and scary at first but he's really not. Read in order to be prepared for your quizzes and do your papers and you'll be fine. A lot of people hate him but they are probably the ones who don't study or do their work and then get mad about their grades.

SUCH A GOOD TEACHER! easy assignments if you work hard and a fair grader. definitely interested in what he talks about and keeps the class fun! do the assignments, pay attention in class, read what he tells you to read, and you will do great.

Class was very interesting and fun. He does require you read a lot of essays for each class (he said he was going to cut back next semester) but make sure you read to be able to participate in discussions. The class was very easy though, just do your work and you'll do fine. I'd definitely recommend him.

He is a really good teacher, make sure you do what you are suppose to do. Do not slack on his assignments, everything counts. When you first meet him he may seem unfriendly but as the semester goes on he is very kind and understanding. Take him!

I took his Sociology 101 class last semester and it was great, even though it was an 8 AM. You learn a lot and he keeps it interesting. You should go to every class because offers a lot of extra credit assignments and gives study guides before the midterms and finals. Great teacher, take him!

I loved him as a professor. attendance was not mandatory but go. He says a lot of assignments in class so make sure you go. Though I had it at 8 am, it was the best 8 am i could have taken. He knows what he's talking about, and is willing to teach you it all. Read the book, it will help you and if you do the assignments and journals you'll be fine!

He bases his lectures on the powerpoint but also has his own definitions for some of the terms and adds in other terms that you need to know that aren't on there or in your textbook. So it's important to come to every class. Most assignments are due online (10 journals, 3 mini papers, 1 observation assignment). He makes class really fun! Take him!

He makes the class super fun and will keep you awake if you're ever close to falling asleep in his class. Attendance is mandatory because he will grade you based on whether or not you show up to class. I loved him and would definitely take him again!

The professor is very intimidating at first, but wants all students to try their best. He engages the class and tries to make it interesting for a three hour class. Just try your best, be on time, and participate and you will be fine!

Awesome teacher, made me think, interesting, fun class.

He makes the materials easy to relate to. He asks questions that make everyone think similarly and differently, which was good. I'd definitely take his class again.

Only 2 exams. Lots of reading and notes. Online discussion posts due every week. 2 easy observation based papers, and one research paper. He's nice but can be a little intimidating. MUST READ YOUR TEXT BOOK AND ATTEND CLASS to get good grades on tests.

Prof Dashiell can have a negative demeanor and come off as cocky. He does expect for you to participate and that will forever help your grade. Do not be late and whatever you do do not use your phone in his class. OMG he will embarrass you almost every time. Never mind I paid for the class and can use if my phone if I want,

I had this as a night class, but I loved it. The class was long, but he made it really interesting. Prof Dashiell may seem kinda rude, but he's really the sarcastic funny type. Try to read as much as you can. Don't procrastinate on the big questions or case studies. Take notes and participate. Make sure you don't don't don't use your phone in class

This was my second time taking Dashiell. While many may say that he's "rude" literally all you have to do is not be on your phone, or doing other stuff on your laptop. I turned my phone off every class. Participate and pay attention and you'll pass the course. 2 exams, 2 papers, reading, and discussion posts. He really knows what he's talking about

He's a very nice teacher, and sometimes very sarcastic. Overall the course is pretty easy, read the textbook and you'll be fine. Class is usually him going over powerpoints but the lecture is very interactive

He might come off as rude, but he's very sarcastic. He cares for his students and tries to help them out. He does call out people who aren't properly using their devices and calls out the class if the majority hasn't read the last chapter(s). You will have one to two chapters a week to read. He's pretty clear with his grading criteria.

Interesting class, and lectures were good. His attitude kind of ruined it at times, but he got better throughout the semester. Just dont use your phone or disrupt him and tou will be fine. Tests arent that difficult if you read the chapters, 6 page paper on any topic of the course. Offers extra credit opportunities. Easy class to get at least B

DONT BE ON YOUR PHONE! As long as you participate and take notes on the slides you will be fine! Some say he is rude but I think he is really funny and makes his lectures interesting, you also do a lot of talking and participating.

He really is not as bad as the reviews make him out to be. He was intimidating for the first few weeks of class but he is a very fair and great professor. Everything is easy to understand assignments are straightforward. There are disscussions that you have to write every week but they are so easy that you can write them an hour before they are due

One of the smartest people I have ever met & helps you gain knowledge about things that are actually important. He is very intimidating at first but lightens up as the semester goes on. He's passionate about the material covered & I left the class a smarter, more well-rounded person. If you try, you will learn a lot about race class and gender.

He made it seem like his class is going to be extremely tough, but I soon realize if you put in enough effort to understand the material you will do fine. I almost fumbled the bag by thinking the class was going to be too hard. His knowledge of the material keeps you engaged. He also has great personality. Grade was low but i was able to pull C

Dr. Dashiell is a very good professor. His instructions for assignments are very transparent. Therefore, if you follow his specific instructions and read the textbook you should have NO problems in this course. I really enjoyed his class and he emboldened my understanding for sociology. ��

You can tell Dr. Dashiell really cares about the material and puts time into what you'll cover. Something really cool about him that you can always feel safe/not judged when he holds class discussions/debates. As long as you try to take notes and do the work, you will pass. I would take him again if I needed more SOCL classes, but I do not.

I was anxious to take his class from the reviews. His course requires EFFORT. If your the type of student that doesn't study, test well or show up to class don't take him. I didn't read one chapter, just pay attention in lectures and you'll pass. He has a fun personality but can be overly sarcastic sometimes which some people misinterpret.

This class requires a lot of studying and participation. Be prepared to discuss the readings and TAKE LOTS OF NOTES. I recommend flashcards to remember terms for exams but pay attention to the examples he gives in his lectures. Do not rely on his slides b/c he doesn't always post them. He seems intimidating, but his instructions are very clear.
