I was pretty scared of taking this class after seeing some of the reviews, but I have a very high A in it! It's not easy by any means, and it requires a ton of tough reading, that goes with discussions and questionnaires.

Professor Cason is one of the best professors you will ever take. This is my second semester with him, and the coursework is writing a paragraph about the textbook once a week and responding to 2 other people, and then doing a quiz. He gave us the prompt for our midterm and final. You can tell he loves his job and loves to teach. Would take again!

Prof. Cason is an awesome guy, he's very interesting, kind and a good natured guy. I took him for HUM2210, Most of your grades will come from the Packback postings, which is 3 posts along with 2 replies to other posts. There is a Midterm and Final but they were multiple choice and fairly easy. Overall Great Guy and would Gladly Retake him!

Dr. Cason is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. He is super kind and understanding; he makes every class fun and interesting. His humanities class is based on comic books (just a btw). There is never a dull moment with Dr. Cason, he definitely makes you think and the homework is not that bad, you get used to it. 110% recommend.

This was a pretty easy class. There are quizzes every week so you have to read the material. Attendance and participation are mandatory and graded. It is an easy A if you do all the work. There is one project, but it is not that hard. He grades very fair.

Teacher uses packback which is an AI grading your Discussions. The discussion turns into an essay every time (&replies). This could of been such a great course with interesting curriculum but the discussions/quizzes killed my grades. The quizzes were true/false, MC, select all that is true (which I never got right). I had a 4.0 before this course.

Lots of homework

Great teacher. Love his way of discussion. We don't do the usual discussion board we do packback which is better, it's outside of the norm for discussions... it challenges you while also giving you the opportunity to debate. This class was an easy A. I was taking 4 classes and was able to complete all my work in week 2 aside from the discussions.

Prof. Cason is okay. Class is about comics. Start on the weekly homework/reading early. Claim your project character ASAP, as only 2 students per class can cover a character. Discussions are easy points. On project submissions, he gives clear, insightful feedback to help you improve. Overall pretty decent, but definitely not for everyone.

I took Dr. Cason's HUM2020 Comics and American Culture class and it was great. Even if you don't read comics, he makes them interesting by drawing lots of parallels between our society and their comic book reflections. You will have to be prepared for reading many pages of comics, but the assignments are not difficult. Highly recommended.

I would say that his class was pretty good and he is a good Professor. I did take online Humanities class (similar to in-person class) and we were basically learning about comics. There was a lot more reading than I thought. That and my laziness explains my lower grade, but if you can put in the time and effort in this class you will be fine.

Had high hopes according to the reviews until I was told my discussion grades would be contingent on an AI-based tool called PackBack. I think this professor has a lot of potential as a teacher, but something as delicate as AI shouldn't decide my grade. I believe in equal standards using AI in college for both students and professors. Thank you.
