Great class. She really helps you.. a lot of class participation and attendance is mandatory. She brings great guest speakers.. midterm and final are online at home.. I recommend this class

Professor Casso is a really laidback teacher. She is really nice. A lot of the course involves participation and she brings guest speakers once in a while. She gives two tests and requires one 8 page paper. I recommend anyone to take her class! Just do what she asks and you will do fine.

This was the easiest class ever. Lots of guest speakers that are interesting, 2 online open book/note exams, a personal reflection paper and various group work presentations. Attendance is mandatory. She does lecture from her power points, so all you have to do come test time is print them out. I'm taking her again this fall.

I learned a lot! Attendance is mandatory, but there are always lively conversations and good guest speakers. 2 open-test exams and a reflection paper. Show up and you'll do fine.

Casso is a great professor who is passionate about what she does. there are many great speakers and the class itself involves a lot of group effort each class.

I took her Mexican Immigration&US. Class is a ton of reading, but it was very interesting material. Attendance is required. Class time is typically discussions about the reading assigned or group activities. We watched a few films, too. No busywork or crazy exams -- the big focus in the class is attendance & your final paper. She's cool, take her.

I took her for soc 2023. Her class is very easy all you have to do is go to class everyday took only one midterm which was open book and you could do it at home.Her final is a research paper. Attendance is majority of your grade. Overall it's an easy course easy A.

By far one of the EASIEST classes ever. She does do a midterm and a 15 page research paper, but I got a 100 on that paper, she grades so easy and I did it the day before it was due. Haha. Shes so easy to talk to and will help with whatever you need. The class is also very interesting. Enjoyed this class and the Casso very much. Highly recommend!

I loooove Casso. I took her for social problems my first year, and now in my senior year for Food and Culture. She isn't very difficult, she just asks that you truly think and care about what you write. Follow the minimal criteria, and care about what you're writing and you'll get an easy A

Shes very genuine and seems to care about her students. Before class, she has an attendance sheet we have to sign with all of our ID pictures on it, and tries to remember everyone. So skipping class isn't a good idea. She likes it when people speak up and participate in class. Her exams for my class were online with unlimited attempts and were easy

I'm in the topics: food and culture class. It's pretty chill. Just a lot of reading. No tests no quizzes. Just a set of blogs we have to do, it's not too bad. And finally a 15 page research paper about food.

Super easy class. She reads straight from the book during class so no need to buy it unless you want to take your own notes outside of class. There's only 4 exams and attendance for grades, but the exams are unlimited attempts. She doesn't come to class on fridays so an SI teaches and that's pretty annoying but other than that its a good class.

A blessing. She is one of the few professors I have come across in college that genuinely wants you to learn and succeed as a student. She is accessible outside of class and very kind to talk to, no matter the topic of discussion.

Although we have different political opinions and views, Professor Casso is a deeply caring person with good intentions and a big heart. She wants her students to pass and is very passionate about what she teaches. If you are concerned with social issues and learning about society, this would be a good class to take.

This is the easiest prof I've had. We have 4 tests and they're all online. There's no homework or anything so the book isn't necessary. On each test, you have infinite attempts and it's open for almost two days. She knows a lot about the material so she makes it pretty easy to learn. Attendance is over half the grade so you have to show up.

Very easy class! Only has 4 tests throughout the semester and they are all on Blackboard. Tests are 50 questions and all multiple choice. You don't go to class on test days. Doesn't assign homework. Towards the end of the semester, she will give extra credit opportunities. Overall, she's a very sweet teacher and would definitely take again!

Professor Casso is amazing she gives very engaging class lectures, pay attention and youll be fine the test are straight from the text book its an easy A if you put forth the right effort.

Awesome professor she cares about her students and has lectures that don't put you to sleep! In this class we had a presentation on our final research paper, she was a tough grader, but she didn't hesitate to help and answer any questions before hand!

I took social problems and I have to say its probably the easiest class ever, she's a really nice professor and cares about her students so don't be afraid to take her class the lectures are pretty interesting.

Loved this class, especially since I'm a CRJ major. It most definitely helped me. I would recommend her to anyone.

I've taken Professor Casso for 4 different classes. She cares about her students and takes time to help students pass her class with an A. Her exams are easy. You don't need the book at all, but it helps to follow along in class.

very great and inspirational professor

Prof Casso is truly a gem of a teacher who cares about her students and genuinely wants them to do well! I've taken her twice already and am taking another class of hers next semester. She's one of the best professors I've had. No frills, just show up and pay attention and she also lets you do unlimited retakes of the online tests.

A teacher who is OPEN to new ideals and enjoys interactions. Be sure you read your stuff, which should be a common sense thing for COLLEGE.

You're graded on 5 exams which are incredibly simple. She's such a sweetheart and really worked with me when life got in the way of me being able to do my exams. I love her class so much that I'm taking 2 more of her online courses next semester! You cannot fail this class, I promise you!

Took her online course and I couldn't be happier. There is no homework only 5 tests. The tests are straight from the book so read and you will be great. She provides 48 hrs and multiple attempts on the tests. She has even opened up the tests multiple extra days. You literally could not fail.

5 Test, the textbook is not needed for the online course, useful study guides available on Quizlet or studyblue If you are genuinely wanting to retain information then do not take this course.

Professor Casso is one of the best professors at this university. She cares about all of her students and wants everyone to pass. The course itself is very easy and informational. Although, the only thing you are graded on are the 5 tests she has, she allows multiple attempts and allows you to take it until you receive the grade you want.

Read the book and you will be fine. Very interesting class if you are taking it for the correct reasons. Easy A, only 5 tests all semester (online class) .

Loved her lectures, she is one of the best professors I have had, easy to communicate with and work with.

One of the easiest professors Ive taken! Literally just read her PowerPoints and the chapters that are assigned and youll get an A on the exam. If you need this as an elective class definitely take it! The professor is also easy to communicate with and cares about her students

If you are looking for an easy lower division class to count as an elective, take this class. It doesn't require homework and allows multiple attempts on the few exams that are spread throughout the semester.

Easiest class I have ever taken. I reviewed the PowerPoint slides to study for exams. She gives you unlimited attempts to make an A on the exams with a 48-hour window to complete them. I actually learned so much in this class! I'm a Bio major and took this as an elective. The perfect class to take as a "blow-off" while you boost/maintain your GPA.

4 exams and are all incredibly easy! You cannot fail this course lol

If you have to take core classes, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR RIGHT NOW! She makes it really easy for you. You are graded by only a few tests, and you can take them as many times as you want until you get the grade grade you want! I wish I could give her 10 stars, honestly. She's super nice as well!

Great class, the professor was very motivational and did a great job on checking on us weekly. I recommend taking her classes, if you need an online class the due dates and expectations are clear. Professor Casso is a solid choice.

Prof Casso is amazing! She truly cares about her students and is very supportive. Her tests are straight from the book and you can use your notes. If you don't make an A it would have to be because you simply didn't take the test. She does make the lessons interesting and you're graded on only 4 tests! Easy, yet fun and interesting class!

Test heavy with plenty of opportunity to improve your grade.

Only 4 exams, so be ware. other than that this course is easy, just watch the lectures and keep up with the dates

Class was fairly easy. All you need to do is read the textbooks/ the power points and the exams are based off on them. Grades are made up of the 4 exams with no extra credit. Don't worry though, exams allow multiple tries and she will usually open them the exam on a later date if needed to retake. Seems to care about her students doing well.

This course consisted of ONLY 4 exams. DO NOT MISS AN EXAM. The exams are easy just read the chapters or read QL.. This class is super easy.

She is amazing! So articulate and so clear with her expectations. Honestly, you have to do your part (that's the whole point, duh). She keeps the class engaged and is obviously passionate about teaching. Graded by journal entries and a qual research project! She really makes you think lol

Online course are graded by 4 Exams covering 3-4 chapters. One of the easiest courses I have taken.

Class was only 4 tests and allowed for unlimited attempts to get the grade you want. The tests are open for two days, so there is plenty of time to take them. Book is free to access which helps during tests. Very easy class I would take professor again, not much to do for this class.

Took online in summer very easy class based off 4 easy test that are unlimited tries :)

I took her for Drugs and Society and she really only gave 5 tests the whole semester and never gave any homework. She also didnt take attendance but she said that might change next semester.

She was a really fun and nice professor. I took her Drugs and Society class, and for me it was difficult. She only grades by a couple of tests, so it is hard to turn your grade around if you fail.

One of the easiest classes I've taken at UTSA. Clear grading with only 4 exams that you're graded on, and you can retake them as many times as you'd like before the deadline. The material is easy to understand, and she helped us stay engaged with the material by sharing current events going on related to the course. I recommend!

I was a bit intimidated by course title, "Qualitative Research Methods" at first, BUT Prof. Casso's in-person lectures were AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend this class! Follow and trust the PROCESS and you will pass. Prof is available to help. She wants everyone to pass, but you've got to participate! Has NOTHING to do with statistics! Enjoy!

The class was asynchronous so if I wanted to work ahead or with the course could have that option. Gave multiple attempts at quizzes and assessments which was kind. Confusing at times on the grading in comparison to the material. YOU NEED THE BOOK! Not so much the associated online materials but the complimentary materials were so educational.

This class was the easiest class I have ever taken. The whole course consisted of a canvas quiz for each module with 10 questions each and unlimited attempts and then a test at the end of every 4 modules. I don't remember anything I learned, but I don't even mind cause it's an elective course and I didn't have to worry about it all semester.

She was readily available to students, open about her class requirements and wants her students to succeed.

This class was graded on weekly quizzes and four unit tests. You could take the quizzes many times until you get a 100, and the test questions were from the quizzes. You don't have to read the textbook to pass, but it provides interesting information. Professor Casso was very clear about deadlines and announced multiple times when things were due.

This was the best summer course I have ever taken, only 2 assignments per week with unlimited attempts. There is a textbook but I did not use it once. She is very nice and helpful, sends lots of reminders to get work done and gives you plenty of time to do so.

There were quizzes over every textbook chapter due every week, she offers many chances to take the quizzes which was a plus. Always sent reminders of quizzes or assessments days before and multiple times the day of. If you don't try you wont pass but this course was very simple and straight forward.

Professor Casso is a 10/10 professor! This class was such a great learning experience and really helped prepare me for grad school. I really enjoyed the blogs and the research paper, both were meaningful and well-structured assignments. Professor Casso expects a lot from her students, but she's always available to guide and support you.

Professor Casso was a great professor. There was a quiz every week due on Sunday at 11:59pm. There was also 4 unit assessments, but they were good as long as you read....but you can look them up online too. Just be cautious. That was really the only homework she gave and she always sent out reminders. Please take her if you need an easy class! :)
