Very easy, lots of group assignments.
Any Social Science or sociology class -- take it with him! You are guaranteed an A, unless you decide not the attend class or turn in the assignments on time. Take home midterm and final!
No Comments
Class had a lot of group activities (the last one, based on Star Trek, was funny); midterm was take-home but graded rather harshly; fortunately extra credit was offered (correct your midterm errors)
Awesome Teacher!!! Never will you have a professor like this one ever!!!
Very fun and super kick back. He'll help you out on anything you need. Does humor in class too.
By far one of the best teachers on campus. Will go out of his way to help students.
Very dogmatic and I have "zero" respect for this bitter professor. He teaches "adults" like if they are passive and incompetent students. Students like him because he has low expectations of us. I feel ripped off and could learn a l
I did "not" like this person's teaching style, it almost seems like he is teaching the Sociology of Barney & Shrek. I want a refund!
Extremely helpful. Do what is minimally expected of a college student and you will get an A.
IS THE BEST PROFESSOR FOR THIS CLASS. HE MAKES THE MATERIAL SO INTERESTING, THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY LOVE STUDYING FOR HIS CLASS. MOST EXCITING AND GENEROUS PROFESSOR.
easy class, you do baisically nothing, definate must
First, for those who write bad about this professor need to learn a proper grammar. Second, he is a very good teacher and understands our problems. He's there for his students at all times to help them as much as he can. Wasson has very flexible office hours and lenient with those who show effort.
I took Wasson years ago, and I can still remember his classes. He's an awesome proffesor....and when you see him around campus don't hesitate to say Hello.
This class was so easy, I felt like I was in grade school. Nothing to do, no challenge whatsoever. I thought he was pretty cool until I took him all my "A" papers and asked why I had a "B" in his class. Even with HIS grade marks, he said I was "cheating." Weirdo, but my mysteriously is an "A" now...
This class is SO EASY! Just make sure you show up because class/group work is a big chunk of your grade. Other than that there's not much to it. Pretty interesting class, you learn about yourself and how others see you and how your culture influences your decisions etc... EASY A.
Great professor, fun, easy, and great sense of humor. In order to earn a good grade in his class one needs to show up to class daily.
Just show up. All the assignments are easy. Some of the group work is fun.
This guy is awesome. He's always willing to help you on anything. Plus he's pretty funny. I totally recommend him if you're going to take a sociology class.
Very nice and helpful professor
WASSON IS A COOL GUY!!! doesn't believe in homework so don't worry too much about that. the group work is fun and participation actually does help you learn more. just participate and do the projects and you should do fine.
His class is so Easy, and theres so any **** hot chicks in his class. Good for him, and the students, because he's fun. Seriously, theres so many hot chicks, but there are some fugly ones too. But there just there to balance out the class.
Very easy! you mostly have group exercises. Take home tests and finals. Easy A
He is very knowledgeable, he was entertainging. Make sure you make it to class and turn in everything in on time.
FUN CLASS! It's all group work, with a few individual assignments. He cracks a lot of jokes, and kept me rollin' all class long. The final project is to do a skit where the guys act like girls, and the girls act like guys. Very FUNNY!!!
okay here is the really deal. i'm the most lazest student in csula. i don't read, i don't buy my text books. i hardly do****. but i somehow i would be able to find out which professor would give me that A or B. and this is one of them. believe me. all you do is show up to class everyday and i mean everyday do the in class work and you'll for sure

He is a good teacher and easy to talk to if you have any questions. You mostly work in groups but you pick your group. He has a midterm, group project and a take home final. Try not to miss classes because you lose points on in class work.
Yeah, I was the stripper on the table for the group project.. ha!! Now people started calling me "Stripperella".. i'll never forget this class.. had fun.. take him if you want some entertainment..
yea I gave birth in his class he kicks ass and is fun

It is a fun class, but he not very clear with home assignments and not very helpful when you do ask him questions. It's not a hard class, but can be a little frustrating if the assignments are unclear. He teaching strategies are very different from other professors. He does make the class fun.
This dude is a trip, I hadn't had fun in any class like I had in this class since high school, he's very approachable, very helpful, and knowledgeable. I reccomend him to anyone, he's a cross between Benny Hill and Bill Clinton lol
This guy is tight. Fun class, and he looks funny wearin' those suspenders... A REAL O.G.
He's super cool!
MOST AWESOME PROFESSOR EVER. HE CAN HELP YOU IN EVERYTHING: THE CLASS AND IN LIFE.
Very easy and fun. He's nice. You can actually learn something in his class.
take this class!!!
Very laid-back teacher that knows how to properly teach a class without assigning 16 page essays. Fun and simple, definitely recommended!
really easy and laid back.
A fun and wild professor. He's really cool, well kind of old, which makes him very skillfull and knows what he is doing. I got an A. All the work is group work, very little individual work. Midterms and final are take-home, you can call or e-mail exchange answers from friends. VERY EASY class and a cool-hip teacher
I have taken all my sociology classes with him. his is one of the easiest teacher out there. Just as long as you go to class and do group exercise which would give you a easy A in that class. However it is a little bit confusing understanding the stuff he wants to do so you need to ask him.
A very fun class. All you talk about is sex in that class. He is very funny for his age and very helpful. He will add you even when the class is full, I missed 4 classes and still manage to catch up and get an A. HIGHLY RECOMMENDDED!
a kick back class, never assign work, everything is group work very easy, every one should pass with a A+++++
Easy pass. As long as you do all assignments and follow directions carefully, then you have an A. Cool teacher. Instructions are kind of hard to understand, so become friends with other classmates who know his style. Would recommend him.
While his class is fairly easy... you MUST show up to basically every class. Most of your grade is depended on if you show up. His mid-terms and finals are somewhat complex and confusing... but they are both take home. Overall he's a good guy but sometimes his class just got annoying.
Basically you have to show up to class to do the group exercises in order to get a good grade. He was a nice guy but it seemed like his assignments were confusing and DUMB ... and some of his jokes were kinda gross coming from him.
WOW! He is so fun. Very Very easy class. All you have to do is show up participate in fun activities and laugh all you can. Easy A+
Easy A. Always remind me of the old man who dances in the Six Flags Magic Mountain commercial.
This was my very first class that I took, and to my suprise it was the easiest. There is no textbook needed, just follow the handouts and go to class every day. It's an easy A+ if you take his class. Both the midterm and final are take home.
Very easy professor. He explains everything and make the class very interesting. Plus the guy is a clown so you will be awake in class.
Easy Class IF YOU WANT A TAKE HIM. SOME WORK BUT ITS VERY EASY TO DO. TAKE HIM
Show up and do all the work and you will get a good grade. There are a lot of group activities, but not really anything difficult. Lectures are usually informative and entertaining (jokes may be a bit corny). He really makes an effort to educate and he cares a lot about the students and the community. I would recommend him just for that reason.
he was a really good teacher. his jokes are a little bit corny, but he has good humor. just need to show up for class because of group participation. very easy A class.
GREAT Teacher! he has a great sense of humor, knows ALOT of intersting stuff. Pretty easy class if i dont say so myself. The work is easy too so its almost like a guaranteed A. Lectures arent boring because he makes you laugh. Awesome Teacher.
great class i strong recommend
EASY!! Take home midterms/final that u get to revise for 1/2pts back. I e-mailed my final so I wouldn't havta go to school that day. Few & easy hw. Group work that's fun & simple. Very funny prof. If u go to class and do the SIMPLE work given, it's a total guaranteed A. I agree with everyone else- if u get even a B you're pathetic. TAKE HIM!!
Prof. Wasson is funny, friendly, helpful, fair, and lenient when it comes to grading. Just turn in homework, attend class everyday, do the group work, and he will help you with the final major project in the end, every step of the way and you will get an A in the class! Taking this class with him was fun and it's nothing to stress out over.
We have take home midterm and finals.... HE let's your revise the midterms to recieve 1/2 points for every correction.......... He's highly recommended for an easy A.............
good teacher. take home midterms and finals. easy class
Easy Class.
Easy class. Attendance and participation are counted toward grade. Group projects/discussion almost every class. Major project of the quarter is performing a skit where your group portrays the opposite sex.
he is humerous.
He knows the subject really well and seems to be really funny, but his jokes give other students opportunity to make comments that are inappropriate. The class can get really dumb, and you find yourself laughing weakly at the jokes and how ridiculous the whole thing is. The tests are really annoying and kind of hard if you're not used the format
THE BEST TEACHER YOU CAN FIND IN THIS SCHOOL
the BEST teacher in this school. easy and really fun class.
This is an extremely easy class. Just make sure you attend class because it'll hurt your grade if you don't.
Very funny & easy professor; hw are easy, no textbook required, just a package of his papers. Take home final, doesn't care on grammar, as long as u answer the question he asks. Work w/ group. Group drama is really funny, u will laugh so hard for sure. LOL. Kind boring when he talks, i fell asleep in class, overal, he is easy get A or B.
the best teacher in town. strongly suggest to take his class. fun and easy. and maybe you can learn something too.
Just listen to his lecture and participate in all group discussion. you are guaranteed an A,and he is really a funny old guy.
If you are looking for "easy", then take this class. Personally, I find this class to be really embarrassing and can't believe this is supposed to be a college course. A HUGE waste of time. Come to class, participate, get a decent grade.
Take home mid term and final. kind of more difficult grader, but still got an A. minimal short papers due. Funny guy and enjoyable.
Loved the class. Take home midterm and final. Midterm can be revised for higher grade. Come to class, alot of group work and takes attendance. Make sure to participate! Fun class to take and easy grader.
Easy class ONLY if you attend class every day. Grade is based on easy group exersices and if you miss, its really hard to boost your grade.All Sociology prof. seem to be a bit bitter so dont let that stop you from taking his class or to ask questions. I recomend him.
He was extremely easy. He makes sociology fun and... interesting. He likes to talk about the human acts of nature alot... but you'll find him charming and hilarious. The textbook was only a paper packet so you save lots of $$$. Take him if you want to learn and have a good time.
EXTREMLY EASY PROFESSOR!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO CLASS DO THE IN CLASS GROUP STUFF WICH IS REALLY EASY. THERE IS A TAKE HOME MIDTERM. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM! HE IS SOOO FUNNY TOO!
i hated this class with a passion. seriously, he is so unhelpful about everything. he depends on his TA and you're better off going to her than Dr. Wasson. this class was a complete waste of time. easy A, but the experience was horrible. he needs to retire.
HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR! VERY FUN TO BE IN CLASS AND WORTH IT!
we wasted a lot of time just having all like 50 students stand in line for him to check our work during class. he didn't want our midterm to be in our own words, which i found out after i had finished mine, and i got marked down. this class is a joke. all my other profs gave me As, but i got a B in this class. i should've gotten an A. he's unfair.
easy easy A but keep track of your scores cuz he has such a large class that he mixes up your grades .. attendance is a must but overall lots of fun
Awesome teacher! He is very funny and easy. He's older so sometimes its a little unclear what he said. But for the most part he's really cool and you'll enjoy that class.
He's so easy- it's not even funny. We had a take home midterm & he tells you where to find all the answers in our Sociology exercise book (it's mandatory to buy since you use it every time). He's a cute, little old man that can get away w/ talking openly about sex & all the details that go w/ it. No readings or hw: highly recommended!
easy A but he is liable to mess up your grade so keep all of your graded assignments for future reference. funny, but he can go overboard sometimes. (coming from him, some jokes seem weird)
VERY EASY. its a fun class. he talks about sex alot it is funny. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
he is funny, and a really great teacher. he makes you laugh
Great professor, classes filled with small activities that actually constitute your grade. Be sure to be present at all times to avoid important in-class activities, cuz if u miss one, u'll have to make up for it, by doing libr assignments, that suck. Overall, awesome prof. and class
Professor Wasson is a mid-western, laid back kind of guy who is very sincere in his teachings. His midterm and final were take home and the in-class activities were easy but kind of a waste of time. Oh, and for your information, his T.A. was a nightmare! Keep all of your assignments because they tend to get "misplaced" or "not graded"
I acually dont like him cuz he can at times be just as rude as his T.A. Easy class but u have to attend every meeting cause he checkes attendence by submited class assignements given out every day. Take home mid, final and a presentation which was a skit everyone had to act in.
Wasson is really cool. As everyone says he does remind you of the guy from the Six Flags commercials. The easiest way to pass his class is to attend his class (his classes are not boring). The papers are really easy, if you put some effort in it.
Dr. Wasson is awesome! The class is really easy and he makes his lectures interesting, with funny stories too. Easy assignments, fun group activities, take-home midterm and final. He lectures based on the "exercise book", so buy that one. The textbook was not used at all, so don't buy it. Plus, he puts it on reserve at the library anyway.
This class is extremely easy. Just do the easy assignments and group skit and you should do well! He makes jokes and stuff. The only thing I did not like about him was he would loose assignments.
HE is just the easiest teacher i had my entire life. nothing to worry about as long as you attend the class, no homework, no reading, If you dont get an A, it's just you are toooooooo dump.
He is really nice, super kool but hard of hearing so if you don't understand something go ask him. YOU MUST ATTEND ALL CLASSES, his lectures are interesting and the group activities are fun. Keep track of your grade, you don't need a text book. Take home med-term & final. But missing a group activity can really mess you up, so go to class.
This Professor rocks!! Heres a red hot chili pepper!!!!
great
GREAT TEACHING SKILLS, EASY CLASS. I LIKE HOW HE TEACHES BECAUSE YOU LEARN BETTER BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT STRESSED ABOUT YOUR GRADE. I LEARNED SO MUCH IN THIS CLASS. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN AND GET A GOOD GRADE.
very easy....you dont need to work hard, but have to turn in everything to get an A
He's an AMAZING professor. Super helpful. Just show up to every class since he takes physical attendance at random. And if you miss a group activity you could easily loose points.Take home midterm and final! He rocks!
DO NOT LET "take home midterm and take home final" MAKE YOU THINK THAT THIS CLASS IS PIECE OF CAKE! BECAUSE IT'S NOT. This class is the MOST ANNOYING type of class I've ever taken so far and the reason is because there are like 30 different types of assignments (including group work where you don't get to choose your own group)that make you intervi
It was a pleasure to take this class. I learned a lot and it was very entertaining. You will not regret taking him for this class it was hilarious!
Dr. Wasson is one of Cal State LA's best professors. More should strive to be like him.
"ANNOYING" is the perfect word to describe this professor and his class. Don't take my word for it. Try taking him. Then you will find out why I said this. 90% of the class chitchat and get lost while he jokes around and is always NOT CLEAR in giving instructions to complete assignments.
Take him! He is really helpful and easy. If you do not get an A, then you are an idiot. Even if its for Soc 120, 201, 330, 341, you should have no problem.
Wasson can be confusing about his assignments at times, but if you speak to him after class he will clarify. I took him for a night class and he would let us out to go do our homework early. There was no book, just a course packet. I highly suggest !
He is very easy. Must do work to pass class and do not miss group assignments. He is funny as well and very organized. He always shows the progress of your grade.
Great for an easy, but time-consuming "A." Can be nice during class and EXTREMELY rude one-on-one. Assignments are constantly misplaced, so don't fall asleep! The little I learned, I learned on my own because there was not one real lecture! : ( A waste of time...
Great teacher easy A he is very nice!
Very easy class! funny and intertaining! Just make sure to turn in everything on time and follow the guidelines. A lot of group work and group presentations!
this professor is really easy !! its an easy A .!! there are 2 midterms and a final all of them are take home and you still have the opportunity to make up missing points!! TAKE THIS PROFESSOSR!!
Wasson is awesome. Class is extremely easy. Be in class everytime to do group work which is most of your grade. Midterm and final are take home
If you dont get an A in this class your a very stupid person. All you have to do is show up and practically put your name on a piece of paper and bame A...take him it will help your GPA
this was a very fun and interesting class. this professor is very big on group work. the final and midterm are take home which makes this class easy. i highly recommend.
Very easy teacher. Very easy class. you just have to attend every day.
ridiculously easy class. Just show up and sign your name for your group work. You don't really need your own copy of his text, there is a pdf version available or you could just share a copy with someone. 1 midterm paper, 1 final paper, just follow directions. There are about 4-5 small assignments that you'll have to keep track of.
Super easy & super fun!!!! Must take :)
If you go to class and do the work. it is so easy!
Wasson is a very funny teacher. His Class is amazing!!!! 1 midterm 1 final are take homes. You have to show up to class do get credit for group work. ASK QUESTIONS may get lost at times
It is mandatory to attend class because there are group work almost every day. You can fix any mistakes on your work and turn it in for half a point per problem. This class is easy. You literally have to try not to pass this class.
I like him 100%. Really funny, nice n helpful!! If u want to pass a class for Block D with a good grade, this class is a MUST! ^^
Very easy! Too easy
easiest class i've taken so far and it's my third year.there's an activity everyday so go to class. If you have hard class this quarter, take this one with it cuz this class is sooooo EASY
Great professor. Clearly understood the subject. Presented the subject in a simple way, but still challenged the classroom. Great experience, Highly recommend him.
Kay is just about the sweetest professor on campus. Cute old man, funny, and has really been through a lot. Class is as easy as it can get - interesting activites everyday. Love him! I truly recommend this class
I took him years ago, but he was super easy.
