If an allele “a” is advantageous but recessive (Waa=1, WaA=0.8 WAA=0.8) and occurs with an initial low frequency of 0.01, will it rise rapidly in frequency ( >.2) over 20 or 30 generations? Why or why not?

Depends on the probability of a pairing with another recessive allele. If many other individuals also possess the recessive, then it is likely that there will be a pairing. If no one else has the recessive allele, then it would be impossible to have a mating where both partners possess the recessive -- thus, it would not show up in the offspring.
