Professor Sasano is an amazing professor who takes the time to make sure you understand the material before he moves on. While it isn't set up to be the most difficult thing you've ever done, don't think showing up will mean a pass, you'll have to earn a good grade in this class. I would absolutely take this class again without hesitation.
One of the best teachers I have had at Woodland. I had him for Psych 12 and Psych 33. I actually looked forward to going to class.... He covers a lot of material but posts his powerpoints and outlines on canvas. Test reviews are very helpful so dont skip that day. Highly recommend!
Take this guy- you wont regret it. One of my favorite teachers.
Personal and Social Adjustment. Mr. Sasano is amazing at making the material relatable to everyday life. He cares for students and their ability to succeed. All is detailed and made clear for the students (PowerPointsChapter OutlinesStudy Guides) but is educational as well. Tests were multiple choice. Participation is key. Take him, he's great!
This is the first Psychology class that I have taken. I really enjoyed this class. The instructor Todd is very engaging, and funny. He keeps you interested the entire time he is teaching. The homework is basically reading the chapters he assigns. Notes help, so make sure you attend class. Test are not too hard. Multiple choice questions. I would hi
Very informative class. Todd makes it very interesting & is very funny! Everyone should take a class of his!
Enjoyed this teacher very much. Attendance and participation help your grade at end of semester. This also helps you be more familiar with the material at test time. Celebrate the reviews before the tests.
WOW! what a great teacher. Very funny. Doesn't just lecture, but great class activities and guest speakers which makes class interesting and fun. Test reviews are very helpful and he posts his lecture notes on canvas which is a bonus.
Todd is the man!! Would definitely take another class with him.
I took Todd's late start class this semester and I must say it was not hard at all. His lectures were always pretty good with videos and movie clips that related to the lecture topic used perfectly to make more sense of the material. If you give him participation, he will make sure you pass. ATTEND CLASS
I really liked the class. Very interesting. I wish he taught more class.
What a great great teacher. This was my first psych class and I want to take more! I like that notes and videos are posted on canvas. Todd is very approachable and will help you get through the class. Book is not always needed. Pay attention to lectures and test reviews instead. One of the better teachers at Woodland.
Great guy - great class. Had him for PSC 12 and PSC 1. I recommend him!
Todd was the best professor all semester, loved showing up to class to hear and talk about discussions. He was very understanding the time I missed classed plus test are easy as long as you listen in lectures!
Todd was easy going and mellow. His sense of humor was a bit cornball but, he was present in both heart and soul. I would say that unless you were a walking corpse, it would be virtually impossible to fail this class. Success in class equals being in class, listening, being there for the reviews, asking questions, and using the PPTs. Namaste'
A great class and a great teacher. The tests are fair and if you show up and pay attention to the lectures , passing is no problem. Todd is engaging and makes the material fun and interesting.
Great teacher. Highly recommend!
Mr. Sasano is a professor who genuinely cares about his students. He is knowledgeable about the subject he teaches and stays up to date on current and new information. His classroom style invites student input and participation which ultimately benefits the students ability to retain what they are learning. He is very patient with students.
One of the best teachers I've had, gives really great lectures and really cares about his students. Tests are easy and straight forward as long as you keep up with the lecture notes. Looking forward to taking him again.
LOVE this professor. He is very relateable and love his students, he wants people to pass! He hands out study guides before exams and everything on the exam came straight from study guide! Makes college fun with many presenters and short clips through out lecture. WE NEED MORE PROFESSORS LIKE TODD!
I enjoyed his class. He really is an awesome instructor! One of the best I've had so far at WCC!!!!
Todd is by far my favorite professor i've ever encountered in my entire life and honestly I don't think I will ever find another teacher that is so genuine. I have never met such a compassionate, intellectual, thorough, understanding individual, he truly is amazing . Easy class, no homework, simplified quizzes! Yes teacher take him!!
Great profesor overall, never boring and makes class really interesting.
Yes Todd is funny and lectures are interesting, but the big thing is Professor Sasano got me to think. He doesn't make you memorize useless facts, but wants you to think outside the box and apply concepts to everyday events. Shows a lot of movie clips to help you relate. I whole heartedly recommend him as a teacher. Took three classes with him.
Great Teacher truly cares for students and makes learning interesting took him last fall 2015 and I just came back to rate him because he is great.
I had him psychology he was great! Easy to under stand and approach if you need help.
Great teacher! Fun class!!
Professor Sasano is amazing. His lectures are engaging and insightful. He clearly goes over what he expects to be on tests and provides study guides/review sessions. Also he is genuinely hilarious.
great class. instructor is really interesting and he seems to really care about the students succeeding.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
He puts students first. More teachers need to be like him. I recomend this professor.
Best professor! As long as you show up to class, go over the power points and study with the study guides he gives out, you will pass! No homework, no presentations, no group work.
Professor Todd Sasano cares about his students. He is CARING Right before class starts he would come to students individually and will ask , "How are you doing?" gives good feedback or advice. He is respectful and his class is entertaining and fun. He grades from 4 Exams/not accumulating. Is better if you read the book lectures before hand .
I didn't think I would meet my favorite professor at the very beginning of my college experience. Todd Sasano is ideal in that he is one of the few college professors that genuinely cares about student success, has lectures to look forward to, and has personally left me inspired to continue pursuing psych. I highly recommend him to future students.
Todd is a wonderful professor and a great teacher. His lectures are very informative and he encourages class participation and always has a great sense of humor. I wish he taught more classes I would take all the courses he offers.
Really enjoyed your class, very clear and understanding, would defintelty take another course with you teaching it.
Tests are tough if you do not read all of the material. He does give study guides for each test. Definitely a fair grader.
I LOVE this professor. He's so nice and caring! At first I didn't realize why everyone liked him so much but as the semester went on, I realized why. He makes College fun and unlike many Professors, goes out of his way to make sure the class isn't stressful. Just make sure you show up to class and do the study guide and you should pass with an A.
Loved the class and the Professor was great! He works with you to make sure you succeed. I would highly recommend this course and professor!
Professor Sasano is an amazing and excellent professor. He works with every student and he gives very good feedbacks. Just do your part and you will be fine. I will take him again
Todd is an easy going professor with course material that is both manageable and interesting. If you have a busy schedule this is the class to take.
Professor Todd you are amazing professor and you taught me so much! i want to take your class again you're awesome!
People read the reviews. Great teacher, humble guy who really cares about students. Today was last day of class and whole class started clapping for him when it ended!
Lectures are easy to understand and relatable! His lectures are powerpoint heavy, but he posts his lectures on Canvas ahead of time. I like that he posts his lectures because I am able to really pay attention in class without having to worry about writing everything down! He also utilizes visual aids for students to better comprehend the material.
Probably my favorite professor at Woodland. Nobody mentioned the great videos he plays in class. They are very funny and help to understand certain things he is teaching. I
He is the best professor ever always willing to help
Took 2 of his classes and he's amazing. His lectures are based on powerpoints but they still give a lot of info. He also likes to show videos so that's fun.
He is super fun and his lectures are very interesting... hes exams are easy as long as you go over your notes you should do great...I enjoyed this class very much and would take him again!
This is my favorite class I've taken by far. Teaches with lots of real life examples so it actually makes sense. If you pay attention during class, he emphasizes what will be on the exam so no surprises. Lectures are funny and entertaining and he is genuinely caring. He is approachable and easy to talk to. Don't miss class- he takes attendance.
I'm so glad I finally got him as a teacher! I finally figured out he teaches only one class a semester unlike other teacher. Sign up early as his classes fill up very fast and he is definitely worth it. Unlike other teachers he wants you to succeed. Awesome lectures, study guides and he offers extra credit. Highly, highly recommend!
Great teacher!!!!! Highly recommend taking one of Todd's classes.
Nice guy goes out of his way to help you pass the class .
He is a great teacher will be glad to have him again definitely recommend
he is a real diamond in the rough at WCC. I am a psychology major and he is by far my favorite psych teacher i have had. Very nice and easy to talk to, most of it was watch informational videos and lecture plus discussion in class and the hour and a half in class for sure flew by. very enjoyable semester and thank you Mr. Sasano for everything!
Professor Sasano is a very well organized professor. Even though I took it online he was always available for help. His lectures were also really well organized and his exams were basically from the lecture notes and videos that he tells you to watch.
Great Professor who truly cares about his students passing the class. He will work with you to get through the class with a passing grade! Loved the class.
ABSOLUTELY my favorite teacher at Woodland. Great class and really cares about students. I never missed class.
I tremendously enjoyed this class, partially because the professor made the information even more interesting by including our personal viewpoint of it. Professor Sasano is extremely caring and straightforward with the material. Study guides, lectures, and extra practice is super helpful and relevant. Best professor for this course!
i enjoyed the class very much although none of my responses received feedback from the professor. I especially enjoyed the freedom to write about the subjects we were learning about.
Professor Sasano is just WONDERFUL! You can really tell that he cares about his students and that he is passionate about the subject. He makes class fun and you really learn a lot. He is one of the best professors at Woodland and he is amazing. If you have a chance, you should take at least one class with him. You won't regret it, I promise! :)
I really enjoyed taking this class. The work in this class was easily manageable. I had to do only one discussion every week, and the professor answers all your questions as soon as possible.
One the best teaches I have ever had! Cares about us and reasons really fast. He even comments on ever single one of our discussions which makes it feel less like buzy work and more like it is important to him! Loved him so much would definitely recommend him!
Psych 33 was a class I was always looking forward to go to! Todd's lectures are always fun and entertaining. He offers extra credit and dedicates a class day to review for the exam. I recommend printing the lecture outlines, they were so helpful. Todd is also an awesome professor who cares for his students! You won't regret taking a class with him!
Professor Sasona is an amazing professor! He's an understanding person and replys fast to emails. His tests are based on his lectures; everything you need for the test is in his lectures.
He is an excellent teacher! Take advantage of any extra credit!!! His lectures are amazing and he gives a study guide of the exam!!! Yes it is basically what is on your exam. I appreciate the extra time on the exams because I have test anxiety. He gives this time for everyone.
Professor Sasano provides great lectures as well as great exam study guides. The course is relatively easy but does require commitment as well as weekly readings. I recommended this course/instructor to one of my friends and they enjoyed this class. 10/10 recommend!
Todd Sasano, during my 2019 class lecture in the Spring, is a professor that truly wants people to get involved with participating in class. He assures that they should try and give an answer and shouldnt be afraid of saying it. Great encouragement, however, its better if he calls them out in class to get someone to answer though.
Highly recommend this teacher! This was my last class at yuba college. I did everything I was suppose too and contributed to the class as required, it was an easy a. I was afraid I wouldnt learn much as it was about life development but I took a lot away. This teacher is nice, gives great feedback and helpful to those that do the work
I have to admit I was a little nervous about taking a summer online class, but it went great! The class was very well organized. Each week was broken down into easy to follow lectures and discussions. Professor is really nice and responded quickly and to all my discussions posts which was really nice.
The class was really interesting and enjoyed it
Very easy to do well in this class. Took it online this summer and there are some cool lectures, and videos to watch before doing the homework assignments which only consisted of discussion posts; Very easy, just answer the prompt and reply to another person with a thoughtful response. Some selective chapter readings from the textbook. And 3 Tests.
it was a fast moving summer class but interesting material, relevant lectures, videos. good discussions. enjoyed it
From discussing with other students who had him and my own experience I discovered that if he cannot sound smarter than you in your discussion then you will not receive any feedback at all. I am a student that wants feedback from professors, good or bad. I got little to none. It was very disappointing.
Fantastic teacher. Class is well organized and easy to follow which I appreciate as I have taken some really bad online classes. I missed a assignments due to a personal issue and he was quick to respond and let me make up the assignments. I also like that he provides alot of feedback and reminders during the semester.
Be sure to participate the discussion and do your assignment. He will give you all the tools to get a good grade but you need to study. He gives encouragement words that will cheer you up! So study and do your best.
I had Mr. Sasano for Lifespan and this course. Both online due to COVID. He is really easy to get ahold of, his material is very interesting and his classes seem to overlap in some areas which helps a lot. Weekly discussions are not bad and the exam are pretty doable, make sure you follow the review sheet. He is an awesome teacher.
Super enjoyable lectures and assignments! Great online learning format. You have to follow the assignment prompts and participate in discussions to get good grades, which he makes it easy to do so. 10/10 would definitely take one of his classes again.
Professor Todd Sasano prepares excellent outlines for the semester chapters. My class was an online class and sometimes you may have questions. Your questions are answered quickly and clearly through email. This professor cares about your success. I highly recommend him for your Psychology classes.
Awesome professor! Super helpful, made sure to let me know if I missed anything so I could make it up. Would definitely take again!
Professor Sasano is an inspiring and dedicated instructor. He is truly passionate about teaching psychology, and does so in an interactive manner. Allowing all the students to give feedback and share their unique journeys. This allowed us to gain such great perspective of our lives and has been a positive lasting impact. Hes one of the best I had.
I have had this professor for a couple class now. I really enjoy his classes. He gives a ton of useful information. I can tell he wants to see his students to succeed. No surprises, you get exactly what yoy sign up for, which to me is a huge stress relief.
The assignments are very easy and straightforward. You just need to read the module for the week and youll be set. You dont need the textbook; I never used it. Sasano is really nice and understanding.
Prof. Sasano is an amazing professor and really cares about his students. His lectures are very straightforward and he also provides a lot of helpful outside resources. The class is graded by discussion posts and 4 tests, all of which are very fair and doable. The textbook is also not needed for this class, just read lectures and watch the videos.
Very kind man I wish I could have taken his class in person but due to Covid, I was unable. Loved his way of teaching he added videos to the lecture to help understand the content better. I really enjoyed this class.
I really liked the videos that the teacher posted that related to what we were to read. In order to pass the exams you need to read the textbook and take notes on both the videos and the power points. The text related to real life experiences.
If you need any psychology class, Todd is the way to go! He is so clear with his expectations, and offers a lot of extra credit (even for things as simple as submitting before its due). Very understanding and he clearly wants his students to succeed. I learned a lot but it was not anxiety producing or stressful, just fun and interesting!
I took 2 classes from Professor Sasano. Each course was carefully laid out and easy to navigate. The modules were fun and insightful. If I wasn't graduating I would take more classes from him.
He is an outstanding educator! Utilize any more credit!!! His lectures are fantastic, plus he includes an exam preparation guide!!! Yes, this is essentially what your test will cover. I like the additional time allotted for tests since I suffer from test anxiety. He makes this time available to everyone.
Professor Sasano is great! I took Lifespan Development during the summer and he made the course work very doable and not too overwhelming. The expectations are clear from the start! He provides study guides and wants you to succeed. He is also very accessible.
Best professor ever
Amazing Professor! I was a little hesitant to take a summer class just because it goes so quick but I truly enjoy it and did not regret it!
Professor Sasano is great! Hes very understanding and willing to work with you to get your homework done.
Professor Sasano is an extremely nice Professor, he cares about his students and he doesn't just give easy A's you have to work for it. If there is some sort of emergency, he will understand, you just need to communicate. Study hard and you'll be fine!
Professor Sasano is very organized. You will get the material for the entire week on a Monday, and you will have to complete assignments usually by Sunday. Unless you put zero effort, it is hard not to pass his class. He gives you feedback and he grades promptly. He is also very good at replying back to your emails ! I definitely recommend him!
This psychology course was one of my favorite college courses that I have taken so far. Very engaging despite it being online as professor gives you a lot of feedback and is easily available.
Professor Sasano embodies every key characteristic a professor should have; he's engaging, patient, communicates efficiently, and he understands that quality trumps quantity. He will push you to think critically, but he never makes things so rigorous that it becomes unmanageable. I found myself genuinely loving the courses I took with him.
Great Professor wonderful, I have taken both of his classes and thoroughly enjoyed them and learned a lot. I wish he offered more classes. Professor Sasano understands and works with students with disability.
Great professor, Super laid back, put some effort into the discussions and read the lectures he gives you and youll have a great experience. Very sweet, engages/comments on students discussion posts throughout the week.
He is well organized. You get your work for the week every Monday you have till Sunday. After being out of school for a few years taking this class has helped me want to stay and school. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. You can still see this passion for his job and I'm happy I got the opportunity to be in his online class. Thank you
Fantastic instructor with a real passion for the content that he teaches, insightful and very supportive of his students. Thank you Professor, youre the best!
Professor Sasano is an outstanding, caring professor. The courses themselves are not hard at all if you keep up with his pacing, which is very doable and reasonable. My favorite part is that he actually makes time to comment on students' works, so you know he'll be looking for your work. He gives extra credit on tests. I loved both of his classes!
Professor Sasano is a fantastic teacher! He genuinely cares about your success within the class, and gives wonderful feedback. Each lecture was very insightful and intriguing, and truly benefited my understanding of each subject matter! He also gives lots of extra credit opportunities, so that was great!!
Todd Sasano is the best Psychology Professor at WCC! I took his PSYCH-41 course online and very much enjoyed it. The assignments, which consist of discussion posts, exams, and extra credit, are pretty straightforward and easy to complete as long as you keep up with the assigned readings in the textbook. He's always looking out for his students!
Professor Sasano was great! I really enjoyed his class. Very educational, yet fun!!
Mr.Sasano is AMAZING! He gives extra credit opportunities for those who may need to catch up. The lectures are also very educational and interesting. He does a great job at making sure his students are on the same page, and engaged in the lesson. I would definitely take another course with Mr.Sasano.
He is very helpful and responds quick to your emails.
Overall a amazing teacher! He really helps when needed and all lesson are very clear and straightforward! Highly recommend.
Professor Sassano is wonderful! His class is easy to follow because every topic is very clear. Also, he answers very fast emails and clears all your doubts. I think this class must be included in the general classes because of all the good things you learn from it. I learned a LOT! Highly recommend the professor and his class!

I took this class to fulfil a requirement for RN programs I hope to apply to in the future. The instructor is all about helping his students and is always available to offer his support. The course is set up in a clear manner, the lectures prepare you for the tests, and he provides extra credit opportunities. I really wish he taught science courses
By MISTAKE I posted: Awful,/ Quality 2 / Difficult 5 (It is NOT TRUE) I email and edited many times "Rate my professor" but there is no way they could take off my terrible mistake. Professor Sassano is AWESOME!! Take the class and enjoy one of the best classes at WCC !! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
This was by far the most engaging online class I have taken during the last 3 years. Todd is very interactive and commented on all my assignments. He also made time to review the tests with me. A very fun class that was perfect for the summer. Highly recommend!
Great professor. Fair assignments and grading and very nice feedback.
Great professor! Light on homework and tests. Passionate about the subject and always gave feedback. Many chances for extra credit. I took an online class and we had a textbook that you need to purchase for readings and professor Sasano provides great notes and lecture information. Would take again!
name a better professor ...I'll wait..!!! jokes aside loved the class, it was manageable and engaging
Nice class with good discussions. Goes over information well and is well-planned. 10/10
Nice class, well planned, good discussions, encouraging feedback. 10/10 no complaints. It was nice to learn with the ability to share but no overwhelming pressure.
Nice class, well planned, good discussions, encouraging feedback.
With Professor Sasano my experience was great. Had a big event in my life and he was more than happy to accommodate m with work early. Answered any questions I needed and helped with giving extra credit with assignments. I will say use the study guides they help a lot.
He was a great teacher. Understanding in emergencies to turn in work late for credit. Always give gave great feedback.
Professor Sasano was amazing!! He was able to present resourceful lectures that had exactly what we needed for tests, posted helpful study guides, and would always comment on other student's work.
Professor Sasano is an excellent professor. He cares for his students and wants everyone to succeed. He is also understanding of other's circumstances and gives ample time to be able to complete all of the coursework. This course does require time and effort to learn because the material is dense. Read all of his lectures and take notes!
Professor Sasano is fantastic! He is very clear on his instructions for the homework and quizzes/tests. He gives great feedback and is very fair. I would absolutely take another class with him!
Very clear on what was expected and always available to answer any questions. Extra credit opportunities were given throughout the semester, nothing too crazy but always a nice boost. The lectures and reading materials were also pretty easy to get through, he always made it easy to know what to look for. Great professor, 10/10 would take again.
Great class learned a lot at my own pace!
Mr.Sasano goes above and beyond to make sure his class is all on the same page and that we are fully understanding the lectures/info given to us. This is my second semester with Todd and I must say he did not disappoint. I learned so much, and the lectures were very engaging. Thank you so much Mr.Sasano!
Professor Sasano is the best. He cares about his students, very friendly and approachable, responds quickly, grades fairly, and very knowledgeable. He loves teaching students and will do whatever he needs to make sure they understand the lesson. He has a light workload and gives students more than ample time to complete their assignments.
Good ONLINE professor. Answered any and all questions quickly and let class know in advance any upcoming changes to the site, curriculum, or other changes. The class is easy with studying and dedication.
Loved this class! Professor Sasano is fair and clear on expectations. Would have gotten a better grade in the class but I mixed up a date or two. There are weekly homework assignments and 4 main tests, he also offers extra credit. Would definitely take any of his classes in the future.
