Getting the sentences
1. Determine if it's a godan or ichidan verb
How do I determine the type of the verb?
2. Conjugating the verbs
Godan verbs
1. Change the last character from it's 'u' form to the 'a' form.
む (mu) => ま (ma)
す (su) => さ (sa)
う (u) => わ (wa)
ぬ (nu) => な (na)
つ (tsu) => た (ta)
ぶ (bu) => ば (ba)
く (ku) => か (ka)
ぐ (gu) => が (ga)
る (ru) => ら (ra)

2. Add せられる to the end.
Ichidan verbs
1. Remove the る from the end of the verb

2. Add させられる to the end.

Special cases
する (to do) is changed to させられる.
くる (to come) is changed to こさせられる.

Conjugation examples
Let's conjugate the godan verb 書く/かく (to write):
Basic Examples
Before we start: かく
1. かく -> かか
2. かか -> かかせられる (is made to write)

Now let's conjugate the verb 食べる/たべる (to eat), which is an ichidan verb:
Basic Examples
Before we start: たべる
1. たべる -> たべ
2. たべ -> たべさせられる (is made to eat)
Abbreviations for Causative-Passive
Fortunately, a shortened form exists for most of the causative passive forms of godan verbs (the left column):

かう => かわせられる => かわされる
よむ => よませられる => よまされる
しぬ => しなせられる => しなされる
まつ => またせられる => またされる
よぶ => よばせられる => よばされる
かく => かかせられる => かかされる
いそぐ => いそがせられる => いそがされる
はいる => はいらせられる => はいらされる

Please note that verbs ending in す cannot be abbreviated this way:
けす => けさせられる => けさされる

With the causative passive, use が (or は) to mark the person being made to do something, に to mark the person who made them do it, and を for the thing they were made to do.

生徒たちは先生に宿題をさせられた。 The students were made to do their homework by their teacher.

Contrast with causative particle usage: が (or は) for the person who makes someone do something, and に for the person they make do it.

先生は生徒たちに宿題をさせた。 The teacher made the students do their homework.

What seperates causative and causative-passive is that in causative-passive, the person being forced to do something is affected by it. For example.

父は車を洗わせた。　Dad made me wash the car.
父に車を洗わされて、いやでした。　Dad made me wash the car, and it was annoying.

If you didn't mind washing the car, you would use causative. But because you didn't want to wash the car, and were annoyed, you would use causative-passive.

According to the Genki II book, all u-verbs except the ones that end in su are more commonly conjugated as asareru instead of aserareru.

Yea, I've been meaning to add the abbreviated forms. I'm a bit busy, but I'll make sure this gets done in the next few days. Thanks!

You might want to make the construction much more easier:

るverbs (-る) + させられる
うverbs (-う) + あせられる
する → させられる
来る→ こさせられる

or:

る verbs: nai form (-nai) + させられる
う verbs: nai form (-nai) + せられる

For u-verbs, this is commonly shorten to ‾される:
(Precisely what gaokyouryuu said.)

買わ(ない) -> される -> 買わされる
書か(ない) -> される -> 書かされる
*** 消さ(ない) -> せられる -> 消させられる
待た(ない) -> される -> 待たされる
運ば(ない) -> される -> 運ばされる
読ま(ない) -> される -> 読まされる
入ら(ない) -> される -> 入らされる

*** 消さない -> される -> 消さされる (incorrect)
The short form is not possible for verbs ending with す

To be honest, all the 'conjugation' pages need to be rewritten so they're more like this:
http://www.renshuu.org/index.php?page=grammar/individual&id=478

There's just not enough time, as I'm spending most of my time on the site's redesign. I'll go ahead and take of this one, but let me know (send me a private message) if you're interested in helping with the other pages.

I understand the causative and passive forms when I hear them, but I don't feel confident enough in their corresponding particle usage to use them heavily in my own speech (or at least, not in circumstances where I need to use particles, anyway). Could we add such an explanation to this page?
