id,rating,review
3253,poor,"She treats students like they're kids & is very disrespectful. If you have a question,she will just tell you to read the book. Class attendance is pointless because she basically reads the book, but every now and then she'll say something obscure that she puts on the test. Avoid at all costs. There are way better Accounting Teachers here at Mason."
2968,awesome,"I have graduated from UofT over a year ago, but still remember how amazing this professor is! Very inspirational and truly cares for his students! I still remember many of the things he taught me about virology!"
1138,good,"He may not use big words all the time, but he gets his point across, His exams may be hard, but he warns you a long time in advance, STUDY and go to reviews, you will be all set. Probably the best bio prof. on campus."
209,good,"Dr. Molumby was one of those professors you ether loved or hated. He was extremely caring, helpful and engaging during class. The cons were that his courses were interesting, but hard to prepare for the exams. Better then most though"
3418,awesome,"She's a little stress because of the class load. However, she's very very helpful if you ask for help. She rushes sometimes because this course covers a lot of materials. She makes sure that everyone knows the material well. She's the kind of teacher who'd actually make you learned!"
1921,poor,No Comments
3310,average,"Questions from lectures, recitations, online quizzes and most importantly the chapters are all on the tests so make sure to go to recitation & lecture. I've never done so much HW & studying in my life and had to teach myself everything from the chapters. The material isn't that difficult it just extensive and there's alot to learn. Good luck!"
4017,good,"Here is the thing about Lyons. He is a great professor. If you want to learn then take that guy. He is just rude. If you are sensitive and look for an easy A, then don't bother doing security at GMU. He runs the IT security BS. This program is very successful and all big government contractors can testify for that. Thanks to professors like Lyons,"
2401,poor,This course was hell. I was an ace in chemistry in high school and here I couldn't even compete. Tests as so hard that you can't do them without past tests. Why didn't anyone tell me that this is going to be hell? I'm switching to York.
3869,good,"Full of energy and hilarious. Prof. Bauman actively engages and energizes the class throughout her lesson. Tests are not too difficult but require studying like any other test. Class attendance is not mandatory but you won't be bored if you go. Great professor and made what seemed to me a not so fun subject, much better."
948,awesome,"She definitely got upgraded from bologna at a young age because she goes ham! She is a beast and makes class super fun. She always smells of versace and intelligence! If you want an awesome class with an awesome teacher, takes this one. She is very helpful and really cares about what she is doing! One of the best classes ive ever taken!!!!!!!!!"
4354,awesome,"really great man & excellent professor. lectures can get boring, i recommend u take good notes b/c he'll tell u what parts of ch. u need to study n what parts wont be on exam. exams are pretty easy if u study. overall very interesting material/class & good professor."
532,poor,No Comments
3780,awesome,"Great professor! Keeps things easy and simple, although the labs are ok because they take WAY too long. Other than that, don't buy the textbook and go to class once in a while (once a month) and you'll be fine. I definitely recommend her!"
4020,awesome,"Here's the truth about Prof. Lyons... If you are a kid that doesn't care and you are just there... He will not help you... But if you care, and strive to do the best... He will help you every step of the way. I used to believe everyone on here about how terrible he is, but really, he's just a hardass. It's tough love imo. One of the best teachers."
3654,average,The exams are 50 question multiple choice exams. Where about 40 of the questions require you to master every component of what she teaches. She does not teach you the answers during her lectures. And there is too much information to guess which is most important.
3919,awesome,This way the best class I took at Maosn. Dr.Bauman has managed to take a subject I thought I hated and make it something fun and interesting. You do need to take good notes and show up to class if you want to do well
2704,awful,All I have to say is ARROGANT!! He made a huge mistake with a set of test marks and didn't even apologize... the tests have nothing to do with lectures and the lectures lack organization and clarity... this course needs to be brought into the 21st century with less stress on memorizing usuless facts and more on problem based clnical learning
639,good,"JE can't keep the class engaged. Each lecture is usually him standing in front of a projector, talking non-stop until you are a zombie. He expects his literary analyses to replicate what he has taught in lecture. He also hasn't realized that his scheduling sets unrealistic goals at the end of the semester by overlapping essays & other assignments."
4252,awesome,"Her lectures are extremely boring, but as long as you have the the lecture slides you can pass the lab quizzes. For the exams do her STUDY GUIDES. That is basically her whole exam. Also understand the concepts, don't just memorize them. She applies them to everyday situations for the exam questions. All in all, it's a fairly easy class."
3734,poor,Useless is the first word that comes to mind. She is unable to make a answer key for her tests so every exam has to be returned for regarding. Her knowledge is limited to the slides so don't bother asking questions. Her class does make a good nap time if you need a break in your day though
0,awesome,"Does a great job at explaining the material clearly, and her lectures are interesting and engaging. If you want an A in this class you have to read the book and assigned articles, as well as prepare for quizzes, she is a hard grader so you won't get away with not knowing the material on the exams. "
2843,awful,"well, personally speacking, I don't like this prof thought he is very smart."
4315,poor,"It was difficult to pay attention in class though he went over each chapter through powerpoints. He didn't start sending poweroints out via email until the 2nd quiz. If you study the vocab from each chapter, you should be fine, but don't expect that you don't have to study. Contact the TA, not Dennis."
2882,good,Really recommend this course! He's an excellent professor.
3895,awesome,"Before taking the class, I dreaded having a 9am ARTH class. But it actually was the most interesting/funny class I have taken. She is so passionate and she makes the class a lot more bearable. Its an easy A if you go to class and take notes. The tests are almost verbatim from the lecture notes. Don't get the book unless you plan on missing class."
1374,awesome,she really is amazing... her examples make everyone understand everything... plus shes pretty cute
247,average,Very hard class if u dont have a good TA so try to get a good one. practice all old exams because he gives the EXACT same problems in exam. P.S dont practice the exams he posts on bb. try to get high scores in all lab reports and practice problem sets. wait for the genetic test as it will screw up ur grade.
1837,good,Extremely enthusiastic!!! Loves psychology and made the class very fun!! The class wan't hard either.
4322,poor,"He likes to ramble and does not know how to use technology. If you are going to take this class, be prepared for an old fashioned, listen and take notes lecture. He is very friendly, but I did not enjoy his class"
1504,awful,DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! TAKE ANY OTHER TEACHER he is horrible. he make you want to kill yourself and never take math again. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS
3339,awesome,"This class helped me decide to major in accounting instead of Ops Mgmt! Hylton is a really good teacher, lectures and examples are crystal clear. Tests aren't a walk in the park, but they aren't impossible. Do EVERY hw before lab/study before tests and you will do fine. Shares interesting real life accounting experiences. I'm walking out with an A."
2764,poor,Possibly the worst prof I've had so far....
3372,awful,TERRIBLE TEACHER! THE ONLY REASON I PASSED THE COURSE WAS BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF ACCOUNTING. ****SAVE YOURSELF****

1598,awesome,He explains everything very clearly and helps class with problems in class. A good teacher and an easy class
3523,awesome,She is a great teacher. Her power points are very helpful. She is excited to talk about biology and explains things well. Not an easy A class but do the study guides she provides you and you will be fine. She gives you everything to succeed so if you fail it is on you. She is also good one on one. Seek her help if you don't get something.
3619,good,"Fondufe is probably as good your gonna get for Cell Bio. at Mason. Suck it up, go to class, and read the text book and you'll be fine."
1626,awful,He rambles about formulas and theories that have nothing to do with the content that's on the test. He does manage to be funny at times but there's nothing funny about not being able to do well in exams and failing the class. He isn't able to deliver concepts well. Unless you're really good at maths don't even bother taking this class.
2683,average,Simplifies everything to the point of not explaining enough.
2346,awesome,"Only Prof to make me repeatedly chuckle every lecture. Explains concepts fairly well, and is always passionate about the lecture content. Some may disagree, but I enjoy his humour and mannerisms. Definitely recommend for Organic Chem."
3976,awesome,"Great teacher, she loves the subject and will have you loving it too. She is very energetic and makes the class an awsome experience!"
278,good,He's a really interesting person to listen to although most of his information that he shares with the class are from documentaries.
952,awesome,LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!! She's super fun and her class is always exciting! I looked foreward to her class week! She's always trying to help u pass and makes everything pretty easy to do! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! BEST TEACHER EVER!! :)
2620,average,"uh oh, the class average is high going into the exam...prepare to be destroyed"
4281,awesome,"Very kind and sweet guy. Really cares about his students and genuinely wants them to do well. His class is pretty easy, but he makes lectures interesting and fun. Would recommend him a hundred times over. Love him."
2515,awesome,Great guy
3788,average,"Boring! Attend her lectures: some of her stories appear on the exams. You never fully understand the lab concepts because you go through numerous lab exercises each day. All tests are M/C, lecture and in-class HW are very easy, and the textbook is useless. I researched the material for exams and received an A for my final grade. She gives two options for the final exam."
2628,average,She is okay..The slides collect the majoy points of each chapter and her class is basically slides reading... The book did a great job of explaining the concepts and we have to work hard!
2994,good,"An unforgettable man. Even though I got tired of learning about transcriptases, I loved coming to class, because he was just so inspirational."
2609,awesome,She teaches in a condensed way (can be good or bad). You can choose either between her lectures+notes or rely on the textbook 100% to succeed in the course. The exam was quite hard. I heard that she s better when she teaches upper-yr (mgt223) accounting courses.
4146,good,"A very brilliant and quite knowledgeable professor. Very sharp in his field. This guy is absolutely hilarious at times. In terms of grading and difficulty, I would say he is somewhat challenging, but as long as you come to class and study what he tells you to study, you should be ok."
1859,awesome,"I really liked this class, and the professor. She is a very nice woman, and tries to get to know as many of her students as she can. I enjoyed this class, but I didn't put in as much effort as I could have. I forgot to do a lot of the concept quizzes. Those really do help!"
2184,awesome,"Very interesting course, well taught."
155,awful,Easily one of the worst classes I've ever taken. He does not teach what is needed to be taught in a biology courses. We are tested on random useless facts that are found in his 200 slide powerpoints rather than information we are going to actually need for future biology classes. I highly recommend avoiding him if possible.
3770,awesome,"Very kind Professor, very helpful. She wants you to pass the course and offers a lot of extra credit. She supplies the class with learning guides via BB, which are EXTREMELY helpful in studying for the exams. Exams make perfect sense and are logical. Lectures are well thought out and power point presentations are a positive. Highly Recommended!!!!"
985,average,"Literally no notes given within the powerpoints besides a few subtitles on diagrams. Tests are 70% true/false, 25% matching, and 5% questions that he makes mistakes on. Useful diagrams provided during exams, but won't help that much unless you know what you are doing. Attend SI sessions, definitely helpful and it will provide study guides."
2402,poor,This course is like any other course at this horrible university. The content is ok.. the prof presents the easiest questions from the book and then the tests have NOTHING to do with lecture/tutorial/textbook/notes!!! What is wrong with these ****s??
1497,awful,"He derives every equation, never giving any examples. Sit in on Professor Calden's classes, you'll Ace the class. His classes are unbearable."
1539,awful,Most disgusting and vile math instructor at Umass. His classes are a complete waste of time. Avoid like the plague. The worst of the worst.
2023,awesome,such an easy class...she is hysterical
1842,awesome,"Lots of energy and demanding, but a good introduction to the subject."
3990,good,"This is a confusing class. He lectures a lot and all of the midterm questions are created from his lecture/videos so pay attention. First half to midterm is fairly easy. There is one major group project that lasts the whole semester you will have to be creative, however the requirements are rather ambiguous. Participate as best you can."
2552,good,he's so cool. He says so many funny things and he likes the material.
2097,awful,"Textbooks are very difficult to understand. Uses his own textbook of course and replaces them very frequently. Perhaps, consideration to students' finance as opposed to his own would make him more popular among students. Tests are VERY difficult. More problematic, don't think he's the one that actually write them."
3277,awful,Do not take this professor! Believe me. She is the worst prof. I ever had in my life. She is not helpful at all and too hyper to focus on what she is supposed to do. My GPA is 3.37 and I had to withdraw so that my GPA would not be affected.
2985,awesome,best prof ever ! he actually did change my life ;; he motivated students a lot to achieve their best :]
4367,poor,Took him as a freshman. Hated the class! Boring lengthy lectures. Too much reading! I would take someone else. Earned a B
700,good,"You either love her or you hate her. I personally love her, this is the 2nd class I'm taking with her and I'll take another if I can. She's crazy and funny, her classes are usually never a bore. She's a little disorganized but her class is an easy A as long as you do the work and go to class. Unlimited paper, presentation, 2 exams (15%) & journals."
1461,poor,"Not a very helpful professor and kind of confusing. I had a great SI teacher though and managed to do very well in the class. Just read the text book and if you are lost there are plenty of tutors to help. Probably the hardest calc, calc III was pretty easy."
644,awesome,Extremely hard! but he was helpful and answered every question and email.
1807,awesome,"Professor Whitebourne is an very enthusiastic professor and she incorperated many fun activities. She is easily my favorite professor this semester, unfortunatly I did not put in much effort. But I would say that this class is very easy and very informative. It made me decide that I wanted a major in psychology"
929,awesome,Professor Christopher is an excellent teacher. Anyone that is majoring in Criminology needs to take her at least once. She is very personable and she knows her Crim!!
3235,poor,"I had Harley before, so I was scared to take her, but she wasn't that bad. She is really rude so I didn't learn anything from her. Do EVERYTHING on connect and the textbook, she does put similar questions on the test. I got a D with Harley and a B with her"
2177,good,"Great webpage. Used more slides in lecture after students requested he do so. Other than main textbook the clicker/softcover and workbook not necessary. The $190.00 price could be reduced by not incorporating these. Prof. has socialist bias, very left wing. Huge amount of reading. Multiple choice and essay que. on test very difficult. Ave. mark = C"
2865,average,"invites you to asks questions , then insults you in front of the class."
246,good,Molumby is charismatic and easy to follow in lecture. He is passionate about biology. He's also willing to answer your questions (although try to catch him in person--he's not great with email). MEMORIZE THE POWERPOINTS (I used flashcards) and look at the book and lab manual. Turn in detailed lab reports. GO TO LECTURE.
2183,average,He wrote the textbooks we're using and one of them is just articles... which we rarely discuss in class.
923,average,"Interesting subject and love the class. Seems very opinionated and loves to share them everywhere. That's cool. Would have been better but we were forced to buy HER book for around $50+ for class, but honestly, it has very little need being there and just seems more like self promotion. Also have to tear out pages from it - so no selling it back."
3115,good,"He's a decent teacher, but as a person, HE SCARES ME."
1185,awesome,"Wow, awesome bio teacher. Knows his audience, delivers his subject wonderfully. Tries to make things as clear as possible, is always at office hours and has weekly review sessions. My class gave him a standing ovation."
4087,awful,"Lyons is by far the worst professor at GMU. Our University should be embarrased to even have somebody like him representing this school. He is very rude, disrespectful, and when you ask for help he makes you feel like you have half of a brain. NOT the qualities of a good professor. I would highly recommend that GMU replaces him IMMEDIATELY!!!"
669,awful,No Comments
2130,good,Very hard class. Couldn't figure out what 25% of 1000 was! Inequality is fascinating. Can't get enough of tax redistribution and inequality. Sociology rocks!!!! I died laughing when he "accidentally" said scam instead of tax!
1666,awful,"Cook would be better off as a 1950's stand up comedian than a math prof. he doesnt explain ANYTHING and his "examples" in class are nothing like the ones on the exams. As far as technology goes, he has no idea what a computer is, and will constantly refer to it as "the machine." Thank god i took calc in high school, or else i wouldve prob failed"
2312,poor,the course could have been more interesting if the prof wasn't boring.
1421,awesome,"Amazing teacher, by far the best I've ever had. She single handedly made me want to be a Psych major."
3233,awful,"If you read the book before lecture, her lecture can help you understand the general gist of the text but not how to actually do anything. As said, she doesn't answer questions and her exams are wayyy harder than necessary. I read the book and took every quiz on connects website and still didn't pass. Puts things on the exam she said she wouldn't."
2321,awesome,"Great course, interesting and an easy A+"
648,awesome,"Mr. Everett is a nice guy and very helpful if you ask for help. You can tell he is passionate about Brit Lit. His lectures can be a bit boring, but he can be funny at times. His tests aren't too bad if you study, but he does require a short essay to be written WHILE IN CLASS. He does provide a review sheet, though."
543,awesome,"Nancy isn't a bad teacher at all. She's a little vague sometimes and kind of a rough grader on essays, but her quizzes actually make getting a decent grade a little easier."
1904,awesome,"Easy class, but hard to get the motivation to go, because the class is simply a reiteration of the book."
1512,poor,"Um...writes more notes than my English teachers do. Sometimes makes mistakes in the examples, and gets everyone confused. In at least 90% of my classes that I attended, about 50 people have just walked out. He rarely uses the book, but I suggest you follow it like no other, because it's your only hope. OWLs- Do well on them and you're golden."
2876,poor,Good professor.
259,average,"Class was way too hard for what it was. Tests were comprised of 40 fun-fact questions, making it impossible to study for. Would rather have learned about organelle biology that more directly relates to us. That being said, he's a very cool teacher/ guy/ dude. And makes it entertaining during lectures. Still too hard though."
3722,awesome,"Really awesome teacher, you can tell she knows what she's talking about and enjoys teaching. EVERYTHING you need to know about her class is in the syllabus. Just make sure to do the MES assignments and show up to lab. The tests are fairly easy, all the information is either in her powerpoints or in definitions from the lab book."
2309,average,"cocky, repetitive (lectures=readings), testing method is absurd"
927,awesome,"SHE IS AWESOME! I loved her! She was really helpful and looked out for the class. Just make sure you show up and do what she says and take her notes and you will be good! Oh, she is kinda all over the place. But she is still funny af!"
612,awesome,"This class is really pretty simple. The exams are take-home and are pretty easy. He has high expectations for the essays but gives you all the tools you need to do well. You get to turn one of your regular essays into the research paper, which makes that big project so much easier at the end of term. Do what he asks and you will do well! "
1023,average,"Very funny and inspirational guy. I recommend voice taping his lectures because there is no other way to review info that you need to know. Do not bother buying textbook. Tough truefalse exams. Quizzes every week (sometimes open note). Says ""it could be A or B"" in class and expects students to choose between the two on exams. Lots of grey areas..."
3526,good,"Great teacher. Slides in class come straight from the book. Has a few easy pop quizzes so come to class. Class can get a little dull, but she was very passionate and always full of energy. Read the book and got a 97 on almost every exam. She adds ~4 points to every exam as a curve. Fantastic teacher. Would absolutely recommend."
1152,awesome,he is now officially my favorite teacher of all time! He makes you think and use what you've learned in order to come up with conclusions. He is far more than a teacher that says here memorize this. I love Prof. Phillis....I wish I didn't have to leave his class!!
219,average,"Smart guy but you gotta follow the flow of his conversations to keep up. Really nice and helpful but don't expect him to be your babysitter. Kinda hot too...this guy can really pull off a mild, scruffy, bearded look."
3795,good,Nice teacher. Way to easy. Review notes and old exams you will be fine. Don't buy the book and never attend class. Go to labs ...
485,awesome,"Absolutely LOVE him! Class attendance is mandatory, but he gives chances at extra credit! His tests are straight from the study guide, maybe one or two questions from the book. He is easy if you just pay attention!"
3046,poor,"Honestly, Dr. Moylan is the worst teacher to ever step on my high school campus. His snobby and arrogant attitude, accompanied with his unwillingness to help his own students, creates an aura of negative tension throughout the class. His tendency to purposely fail anyone whenever possible is due to his anemic attitude of thinking he was successful."
1783,awful,No Comments
258,good,"I was not sure what to study for the first exam, but after taking it, it is best to study his powerpoints and pay attention during lectures. It may seem like he is saying random things, but if you really listen you can see why he is telling this. Labs were very helpful in understanding lecture as well. Powerpoints best thing to study, I got an A."
3427,average,"lectures are boring.depend on yourself to read slides and book cause she won't stop and go over it.she's the only 203 teacher if you don't go to her lecture, i highly suggest that you don't miss lab. use the book, hw, and study guides to your advantage. she'll call you out if you leave lecture early"
386,awesome,"Molumby is a funny guy, he can be an ass sometimes when it comes to labs, but overall hes good. Exams are basically the same as his practice exams. Not an easy class!"
847,awful,"the worst teacher ever, who cares about how the formulas were developed.. TEACH US HOW TO USE THEM! dont take this class if you cant teach yourself some pretty difficult math"
3052,average,"The class is too much work. You do learn a lot though and in the end it is worth it. I liked it. This must be taken with a grain of salt because I also enjoy dressing up in latex and being whipped. He is not a bad lecturer. Unfortunately he does not lecture on everything you need to know to complete the lab reports, the rationale being that you nee"
2015,awesome,"professor goodenough is one of my favorite teachers of the year. she is easily approachable and the course material is fairly easy to learn. if you don't do well on tests, there is an optional research paper at the end of the class, which everybody seemed to get an A on. if you go to class, and study, you will do well."
2585,awful,"terrible, absolutely horrendous. I don't know why UofT lets her teach, shes useless and her voice is annoying. i hope she reads some of the comments that have posted on this website. I feel sorry for those who are going through hell with this woman, I know I barely survived!!"
3400,awesome,I am not an accounting major but Hylton was my favorite professor at mason. She was very straight forward and while the tests were hard she pointed us in the right direction. Did a great review session too.
4226,average,"For some reason, she made the exams so hard, that its hard for foreign students to get A or B. You have to give up on all your other class to get A or B. The question in the exam are too long, no time to fish all the question. I don't know its her making the exam or the crazy lab PHDs, wants us to be at their level."
1962,awesome,"She is one of the greatest professors. You can easily pass without showing up, but going to class is actually fun. Lots of good laughs in there. Great as a Gen Ed especially if you take it with a couple friends"
1233,good,No Comments
1747,awful,No Comments
4077,awesome,"Please don't judge this professor your first week of class, he appears to be a mean person but he is not. Just relax and learn, his is entertaining and you will learn A LOT! His homeworks are due 2 weeks after they are assigned. Gives study guides which are very helpful. Slides helped me study for the test than the book."
3367,awful,"She is the worst teacher in the world. She doesn't any knowledge specially computer. Don't take with her Acc301, 361. You will get an F."
3028,awesome,Wow I am amazed by him! He makes me want to become a virologist and he's sooooo hot!
3196,poor,"Hylton is the worst teacher I have ever taken. She does not understand any of the material for Accounting Information Systems. She gives tests not related to her study guides. If you have to take it with her, find a friend or two in Kitching's class, and you might make it through. May your respective God(s) have mercy on you."
1095,awesome,Great Professor! He challenges his students to think in ways we are not used to. This will definitely help us in the future biology classes.
3463,awesome,"Enthusiastic. She uses her entire body and every ounce of energy to explain the littlest things. She really cares about her students. She drops the lowest test grade, loves her job, assigns online homework, and gives out study guides for her exams. Attendance is not mandatory."
1991,awesome,"AMAZING teacher! I cannot stress this enough. I was a "go to class when i could" type of student... but i, legit, wanted/went to everyone of Professor Goodenough's classes, as did everyone else in mahar. I without a doubt suggest this class. If you want a less stressful, education, and extremely humorous class... DEFINITELY take this one."
1320,awesome,"Tammy was the coolest teacher by far. This class was one of my favorite, she made the material interesting. Tests and online quizzes are easy. If you don't get an A its your fault. Highly recommend this class."
3128,poor,No Comments
507,awesome,... never had a better prof...
7,awesome,"Dr. Hora is an excellent professor who truly cares about politics and students. Definitely expects hard work and tests can be difficult but grades fairly and the classes aren't a problem if you study. Class participation is a must. If you are interested in politics, you'll enjoy her classes. If not, I'd save your GPA the trouble."
3701,average,No. Just no.
2414,awesome,available for extra help after classes and willing to clarify in class questions with utmost attention and detail. treats students as equals.
3959,awesome,"She's a really nice professor, and the class is easy too. (this is 100 level) I want to recommend her."
2473,awesome,amazing guy..aslays their when u need him and is always very helpful....computer dummy...but hes really really cool
3695,average,"Probably the most pointless class I've taken. Easy A, but didn't learn anything. The book for lecture wasn't even cracked open. Must by the lab manual! She does Tophat questions periodically, sometimes in the beginning or lecture, or towards the end. She also does in-class activities throughout and you only have do to do 4 of them. It's an easy A"
1450,poor,"If you have taken calculus in high school and register for this class you will be all set. Extremely boring class, didn't buy the textbook, went to class once a week, passed with an A. Buy the online version of the book and you will be all set. But if you need to actually learn from him, choose another teacher."
2607,poor,"Horrible prof. At first, seemed very nice and classes seemed easy, but then the test were horribly hard and grading unfair. At first I wanted to be an accountant, but then decided not to because of her. Worst prof ever."
378,awesome,"Dr. Molumbys exams always bewildered me but, one thing is for sure the guy raised my interest in biology. He was a really great lecturer, I missed like one class and I regret doing that because he always had something cool to say. Nice guy Hard class. Take him if you are interested in the subject if not chose a diff class."
3892,awesome,"This class was so much better than what I was expecting. Professor Bauman is so passionate and engaging that the information is easy to learn because she makes it fun to learn. No textbook needed which is great, but make sure you come to class because she doesn't post the slides. Take good notes and study and you'll get an A."
678,awesome,Everette's easy but he's got this thing where he wants you to believe what ever he believes. He gets fustrated when you analyze a piece of work differently from how he analyzes it. Over all he's easy.. just picky at times.
773,awesome,"He really gets the material across well and is very invested in helping you learn. If you don't get something, he'll teach it until you get it. He's also really entertaining for an old dude as well."
1703,average,"He jumps into examples and never tells us how he got there. some things he teaches in class arent in the book so theres no way to study some of it, and before the final he tries to teach us new stuff whispering all throughout (cold) and there was 2 pages of that on the exam. i am premed, and because of his work, i am now at a major disadvantage."
1011,average,"He teaches you how things work when they are wrong, but doesn't explain how things work when it works correctly. Doesn't mesh well with my style, however the SI sessions were the only reason I passed the class!"
1966,awesome,"dont buy the $100+ book (buy $10 notes) Like others have said, you have VERY little Homework, and TONS of extra credit. There are 4 tests in a semester. She drops the lowest of the FIRST THREE will not drop the 4th. Optional final AND research paper if you aren't doing too well (they only help)Sometimes she gives you extra credit for showing up"
1777,awful,"Please retire...you waste our time. Unclear, inconsiderate, unprepared, and lazy"
4245,awesome,"Course content was interesting. She should find a way to create tests that can be handed back to the students for a better learning experience. Although, a passing grade is all you need if you do well on all the quizes and hw. Difficult? No, Easy A with some work (30 min before ea class), yes."
65,awesome,Just want to give this guy and the Stanford everywhere program a big shout out. Thank you so much.
3588,poor,She is an okay teacher but if you have any trouble understanding accents do NOT take her. She has a very thick accent which is hard to understand while she speaks. I don't go to class because I can't understand her!
3633,awesome,"She has a lot of energy and tries to make it interesting. I had her for lab, and thought she was great."
3503,awesome,Lectures were a bit funny. You need to buy the code to do the weekly masteringbiology assignments. She gives free response study guides for each chapter. There are a total of three multiple choice exams. I had this professor for both lectures and lab. If you do your work correctly and turn it in on time then you'll get the points.
2164,awesome,Take this course! The best Prof.
679,awesome,"Easy Easy teacher. Taught the same stuff from high school. Funny, easy going, reasonable, understanding. Rumor has it he's the easiest english teacher at CTC."
2302,awesome,He did NOT lecture from the book. Those who say he did must have got F.
2227,average,"like his lectures, hate his pride and stubborness, sociology man! show some mercy! unless you're a hypocrite."
781,poor,"im pretty sure thurlow doesnt know how to even use a computer. yes im bad at math, however going to class doesnt help and neither does homework. he gives homework problems on wiley that dont come close to problems u see on exams he also posts homework assignments late.he doesnt post grades on spark, and you cant bring up your grade other than exams"
3194,good,Guys I took this class in summer and online. I would strongly suggest you buy the textbook. Read the chapters assigned and then do the homework's and later on go to the quizzes on connect. 85% of the questions on the exam come from the connect. Practice them over and over again. I worked a lot for this class. u Need to understand the material well.
627,average,I took this course to get ahead in credits so I could continue to graduate on time. I do not recommend taking this course online because all of his lectures are 1 1/2 hour long power points that you have to watch all of to see whats on the test. His reviews for each test also give you no insight into what his tests will be like.
3174,awful,"You do not have to come to class, because even if you come to the classroom, you will not be learning anything from her. Mostly, you have to teach yourself throughout the semester. Very challenging instructor, getting an A is quite possible if you invest ridiculous amount of time on practicing the Connect homework and quizzes. DON'T TAKE HER !"
1786,average,Half the lecture is totally irrelevant story-telling. Pretty annoying. Just restates everything she put in the book.
1971,awesome,LOVE HER! She uses interesting examples and always tries to make everone laugh. Her tests aren't too hard and she offers a lot of extra credit. I definitely would recommend her class!
2821,average,not bad
2545,good,"his notes ARE pretty good, and he's so nice"
883,poor,"class is almost almost useless, hard to prepare for tests."
1091,good,"A down-to-earth guy. Multiple true/false tests are a drag, though."
382,poor,This is the worst class I have ever taken!!! I do not recommend this class!! It sucks.
1702,awful,"THIS MAN IS THE WORST PROFESSOR @ UMASS. he doesn't take questions in class, goes over problems way too fast and with no clear direction to them. he doesn't use numbers in his problems ever even if a student yells to him that he should. if you are going to take Math 127 take it with Calden. I failed and will have to wait to declare my major."
3370,awful,"this lady is whack... she doesnt care about the studetns at all, and is very hard to deal with"
1907,awful,"Teacher gone CrazY!... so unclear, her mind is all over the place. honestly, worst teacher ive ever had. So unorganized, SO unclear. Waste of time to show up to her class. SHES NUTS."
2886,good,"The course material is long and sometimes dry. But he does a good job of teaching. Do the readings, attend lectures, and apply what you learn to day-to-day life and you'll find that an A is easy. U of T is a rigourous school, and anything less challenging than his course would be a waste. Don't be lazy, put the effort in and you'll do fine."
31,awesome,Terrific teacher! I love her! Makes the topic interesting!
2583,awful,All the bads things people have said about her on this website is 100% TRUE. She is not friendly and gives major attitude when you ask her for help for assignments. She always directs you to the TA. She started off the year very nice then she became a totally different person by week 3. She doesnt seem to like her job. Avoid her at all costs!!!!!
2856,average,"Avoid the course at all cost, unless you love memorizing..."
3409,poor,"Way to anal about cheating, but the accounting department seems to be that way in general. Went through lectures too fast and was harsh with answering questions and grading projects."
610,awesome,"Mr. Everett's class was very difficult for me, but worth it! I learned so much from him and he always gave fairly specific feedback on papers. His powerpoints are LONG so be prepared to write and do all the examples he gives. Recommended to anyone wanting to transfer to a 4-year university and really be prepared. "
570,awesome,"he is a decent prof, he tries hard"
2347,awesome,"Very engaging prof, talks at a very reasonable pace. I personally thought he went a bit too slow but to be fair I do have a fairly solid chemistry background. He always pours his bottled water into this tiny little mug that he carries around with him everywhere; quite amusing. Overall, engaging lectures, clear grading criteria."
343,awesome,"Dr. Molumby is a FANTASTIC professor. This class is not for slackers or those that don't go to lecture or read the text book, and it is TOUGH! I read everything I could and attended all but 3 lectures, I ended up with a 'B' it was the toughest 'B' I ever earned. Dr. Molumby is very professional and really cares about his students. AWESOME Class"
2325,average,thanks for the early days when hockey or basketball is on!! You rock!
3065,poor,"The chem labs are very very bad classes, and Moylan's a terrible lecturer. The lectures make no sense and are basically useless. Don't even go. If you get a bad lab TA, you're screwed. I worked my ass off in Chem 36 and still got a B. Then I learned and took Chem 130 CR/NC and did almost no work."
4364,awesome,Prof. Dennis is great -- class is pretty easy. Sometimes lectures are a little boring but the material and text are interesting. I'd recommend him.
3600,awesome,Fondufe is easily one of the best prof. i took this semester. Her powerpoints are online so u dont need to even get a book.She is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. One drawback is her tests are really hard and all of the information from the ppt is reworded so u basically have to know it inside and out to get an A
3868,awesome,"You will DIE in Dr. Buaman's class. (In a good way of course) She is energetic and really cares about her students. She clearly teaches you about art and makes it fun. Her stories are great and make the class more interesting. The class consists of pop quizzes, but if you read you will be fine. Exams are clear and concise, just read and take notes."
2952,awesome,"Great teacher and human being. Incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The best!"

2104,poor,Brym made material that could have been interesting very boring.
1135,good,"Randy is a great guy, he is funny and usually makes class not boring,reads the police reports at the beginning of class, however sometimes he goes off into his own little rants. The class isn't what you may think bio 100 would be...it's not memorizing different parts of the plant and animal cells and learning what a nucleotide is...its more the bio"
3810,poor,"This class is easy if you actually come and take notes. Her study guides take forever to do, but if you do them you'll probably get an A."
3338,awesome,"Great teacher. Just attend class, take notes, and read. She gets an average rating simply b/c its hard to review previous graded tests unless its conveinient for the teacher aid. Its hard to study for finals w/o the inconvienience of having to look at previous tests when they are conveinient for the teacher aid."
841,average,"The professor is funny, but going to his class is pointless because he doesnt know how to teach."
3861,awesome,"She's a very helpful teacher that will cut you slack if you need it. I recommend her to anyone that is looking to take Art History. You have to take good notes to pass, there is no other way"
4379,awful,"Terrible teacher with ambigious exams, very poor lecture skills as well. Avoid if possible."
965,awesome,"Easiest A ever! Definitely take your junior writing class with him. Never bored you in class. Great guy, very friendly, approachable, and willing to help you out with whatever problems you are facing. Highly recommend!"
528,good,"I really liked her, she was so nice, and helpful.I did very well in her class and she got me intrested in the subject. TAke her"
176,good,"This beautiful man. He oozes charisma, and his lectures actually made me want to go to class. He's a decorated and well traveled biologist - but beware. Him and Dr. Brown's exams are made for you to fail. He teaches well but adds things you never expect to the exam. never got above a 65 percent in the class but with lab and lecture points got a B."
422,average,"his a cool prof. as long as you keep up with reading AND attend lecture for his 'power point lecture notes' you'll be fine. BEWARE though, exams are difficult, they are all practical questions, so must prepare good."
3360,poor,very confusion on the test
4116,awful,Worst professor ever. Do yourself a favor and look at the ratings on here and don't take him. I didn't and I ended up in his class. It was every bit as bad as the comments on here.
2408,good,"Great lecturer, but midterms are VERY difficult."
1377,awesome,"amazing professor! classes are extremely interactive and fun...you will smile the whole time. she's very clear and teaches w/ powerpoints, plus gives you note outlines. You drop your lowest exam plus get do lots of extra credit (but you probably won't need it). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"
572,awesome,AWESOME!!!!!!
3204,average,"Professor Hylton speaks very fast, which makes lectures pretty short. I would recommend studying the connect questions before each exam (there's a total of three unit exams). The unit exams are definitely manageable if you take the time to study. The final exam was the hardest, in my opinion, but still manageable. "
288,awful,HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE KENNY LOGGINS!
3496,awesome,"Prof. Fondufe was awesome! Be prepared to put in a lot of work though. I did poorly at first because I tried to take notes in class, but then I started studying the powerpoints outside of class and I managed a B. She gives a few iClicker quizzes, so be in class for those! She's very energetic and helpful."
1729,average,"The professor is funny, but going to his class is pointless because he doesnt know how to teach."
3123,average,he's ok but hard exams
2153,awesome,"His style of teaching is absolutly impressive. So clear, not boring at all, makes a class of 1400 seem like 140. Definatly a must take class, i only took it for a social science and i ended up majoring in SOC cuz of him!"
2111,awful,"Course is really easy. I wouldn't recommend going to class, All he does is read off the book he wrote. I don't like the guy, I feel like he was rude to me because of my background, from what I hear though, hes like that to everyone. These views are based on my experience with the guy, you may have a different experience. *shrugs* not a fan."
3076,awesome,"Crystal clear explanation of subject, never goes too fast. Eccentric at time, but always in a humorous way. Ask him if math is real."
4383,awful,"Awful, awful, awful. Made **** comments. Tests are too hard and don't cover any material discussed in class. NEVER AVAILABLE to students. He should definitely not be teaching!"
3084,awful,"Poorly structured lectures and class in general, things weren't taught in the optimal order in my opinion. The course structure was hard to follow and assumed you already knew a lot of stuff."
1864,good,very very smart teacher. exams are a wee bit difficult if you don't study and try. do to the extra credit discussions. they actually help and you get extra credit. she's wacky in a good way. go to lectures.
1954,awesome,"Human Biology was my favorite class this semester. Professor Goodenough has designed the course so that it's almost impossible not to earn an A. Her lessons are interesting, she holds reviews before tests, and there are many extra credit opportunities. She genuinely cares about helping students learn and succeed. I highly recommend this course."
4277,awesome,"Professor Dennis is the sweetest professor you will ever have. He really cares about all of his students and tries to get to know them, he's so kind it warms my heart. He really has a passion for teaching, tests and quizzes are easy. you don't have to come to class but read the book and be fine"
383,poor,"His lectures are more entertaining than Murray. He is a cool guy. However, his tests suck!! Memorize the lectures & read the chapters if you want to do well. Do all the lab work cause it will save you in the end. Genetic test is the hardest. If you are not a bio person do not take his class!!!"
3674,awesome,"Great Professor, explains everything very clearly. She's nice and you'll learn a lot. test comes from notes and study guide available. one exam dropped"
370,awesome,"Good lecturer. Tells you whats on exams, which are still challenging. Class average for his exam was are 55%, but it is full of idiots. Does not take late work, I tried, but he at least has a good reason for it."
2355,awesome,God-tier prof
3935,awesome,"Wonderful teacher with a crazy cool personality (which makes for a very entertaining class)! Really knows her stuff and is passionate about the subject. She really gets you to like and appreciate art. Three exams (not cumulative), which are easy if you go to class, take notes, and at least glance back at the material. Highly recommended!"
4202,awful,"Why does GMU hire professors like her? I don't think there is anything special about reading the publisher's slides and pretending like they are your own. I think she should be fired because she is not here to serve students, but wants to get one over on them. As for her concepts, they suck. Obviously so does her teaching."
1105,good,"I really liked Professor Phillis's class. I was confused at first because his teaching methods and tests are very different than anything I've ever had, but I really liked it becauuse it made you think."

141,good,It took me a half an hour just to understand one question on the final.
4181,poor,teacher requests; but I would not submit an on-line evaluation through GMU.they record your email(attached to G#)you verify its you with checkbox attach to your review(say they don't give your name to teacher) but it is traceable if requested. Rules Change. it could come back to haunt you if you say anything negative on the GMU site.
491,good,"very good teacher, keeps the class interested!! as long as you keep up with your readings you will do well!"
1615,awful,"ugghh...velcro shoes+ugghh... pony tail+ugghh big, ugly ring= wierdo!"
198,good,"If you study past exams you'll do fine but DONT depend only on past exams bc he changes small things each year that can trip you up. Overall great professor--bonus points bc he's a metal head! He's an awesome guy who really cares about the science of biology, and u can tell just by listening in class. Take him if you can! Beware of long lectures."
2530,awesome,He is very helpful and makes chemistry interesting!
4266,awesome,40% of the class is the lab and 3 exam together worth 60%. Lab very easy. Exam=Study review sheet=A...try to take Tiffany Bludau=A for nice Ass.
1171,average,"Phillis obviously knows biology, but he seems to have great difficulty getting ideas across...he likes to surprise us on the exams. He's a somewhat nice guy but can be condescending."
1226,awesome,This is my favorite class and I'm going to miss it when the semester is over
1992,awesome,One of the BEST gen eds at UMass. Just like a high school anatomy class. She gives so much extra credit and extra grades (term paper) to boost up your grade that it is very hard not to get an A.
1422,awesome,Makes class interesting. She is a very good lecturer and she is also hot.
3598,awful,I could barely understand a word that came out of her mouth and I have dealt with many accents before. Horrible. Sure she is energetic but she does not make the class interesting. I would rate her VERY low!!!
1714,poor,"Prof. Cook has good intentions but doesn't know how to teach his material. He is often late and unprepared, and can't answer questions clearly when asked. You practically have to teach yourself how to do all the work in the class, the lectures are no help."
3842,awesome,"She is the best professor I have ever had. She is kind, inspirational, and knows her stuff. If you ever get the chance, take a class with her."
2063,awesome,This class is very easy because she gives tons of extra credit and drops the lowest exam grade
195,awful,"I didn't like him or the class, but I got an A. This class is easier than Bios 100 with Malchow for sure."
1556,awful,"Worst teacher ever! Do not take this class. He is totally useless because he doesnt explain anything, just mumbles about nothing and writes down every word he mumbles. I do NOT recommend him. Save yourself, or if you take it, take advantage of the review sessions with the TA."
3721,average,Dr. Largen was really boring but very nice. She was always there to help so get the help when you can!
874,poor,going to class is useless! he doesn't teach
2887,average,I am an Engineer who took Soc as an elective. I really enjoyed this class and found it really easy. I had 6 courses overall with this semester but this was by far the least course load. As long as you do your weekly readings ( 3 hours each) you'll do fine on the term tests. UNDERSTAND what is written rather than memorize and you'll do fine!
3903,awesome,"Dr. Bauman is just WONDERFUL. Geneds are a waste of time for many, but like Dr. Bauman says, this class, ARTH 101, will be the MOST influential class you take (and this is coming from a science major). She ignites in your a fire to see the world, and is passionate about her subject, something that's hard to find amongst professors at George Mason."
3902,awesome,"This class is so easy. All you have to do is attending the class and you won't have have to study 1 week before exams. I only looked over the notes the night before and I got an A in the class. Professor Bauman is such an inspiring and interesting person you will not regret having her. Textbook was a joke, don't waste money buying it"
840,awful,"haha this guy is a joke. i dont understand why peopole like him are allowed to teach, cus he doesnt know how. Dont even bother going to class. i went to maybe 4 classes all semester. and i have an a-. sooo just pretty much teach yourself using the owls."
581,average,yeah all i can say is... STOP TALKING.!!! i can't hear down HERE! Don't pack up i am nOT done yet
4318,awesome,"He's a very nice man, very fair tester as well. His test questions are applications of the stuff you learn in the textbook, but he also has some questions from the lectures so attend class and take notes. He's always willing to answer questions and help you out. He gives a lot of examples in the lectures. He's a great professor. I recommend him."
1592,awful,absolutely does not teach anything . . . don't even bother going to class . . . everyone teaches everyone else
1627,average,"Cook has been teaching for so long that he has his lectures pre-scripted in his head. He will teach Calculus to you but the math department at UMass is known for striving for student success. Do all the homeworks, use the video guides, go to review and discussion. Just pay a lot of attention in series! Most students fail here."
905,awesome,Lectures are fun and interesting. She really tries to help students understand and relate material to current society. She shows videos to help that. The only complaint I have is her tear-out assignments are pretty difficult.
631,awful,"All I can say is, his expectations are difficult and he is very confusing. During class time, there is a lot to go over but he gets off topic. You can do the reading assignments all you want, but that doesn't mean you'll pass. Save your money, time, and GPA and take another instructor."
3415,awesome,"Im taking her now: she is excellent, clear, and wants her students (those who make the effort to make it) to learn. I don't blame her for being harsh on some--one lazy bum shuffled in half hr late, walked across her, and she reamed him out. Be more accountable, folks!"
1578,average,"by far the worst professor i have ever had, unclear, confusing and just plain terrible!"
162,awful,"Oh boy. If you like a professor with 200+ slides on his powerpoints, with each slide being nothing but paragraphs/unformatted pictures, hes your guy. If you like unpredictable tests with fun facts, literally fun facts as the questions, hes your guy. If you like typos on everything including your own lab book, hes your guy. Worst prof ive had at UIC"
2459,good,such a cutie
3804,awesome,"This class is fine!! Yeah, it's a little boring, but it's only a gen-ed so chill. All you need to do is work on the study guides to get an A. I bring them to class and fill them out while she's teaching so I don't have to later. It's soooo easy, just take it and get it over with. And btw- she's so nice and tried REALLY hard to engage the class."
3823,awesome,"Largen is a very soft spoken & extremely nice teacher. Its not the teacher, its the class. The class is an assimilation of all sciences that's why the material is long, hard and boring. But just read the slides and do her study guide. Don't buy the book..waste of money!!!"
2154,good,"Good, and engaging speaker. However he is pretty biased. Every topic covered centered around how material inequality is the root of all society's problems. Made it sound like the rational and moral thing to do is increase taxes and make more attempts to help the poor. Although I guess that's what sociology is so I can't blame him."
617,awesome,"I took this class online and was at first very intimidated by the syllabus. However, Professor Everett absolutely loves what he teaches and is passionate about seeing his students succeed. I set my mind to understanding the material and doing the extra, which got me an A in the class. Professor Everett is the best online professor I have taken!"
3154,awful,"Avoid her class at all costs. Average teacher, but the tests are far too difficult. She speaks too quickly and is frequently rude to other students. Just don't take her class."
1431,awesome,"Amazing professor. Very funny, makes the class go by soo fast!"
925,awesome,Great Professor !! i have taken a few classes with her and she is by far one of the best teachers i have ever encountered. her classes were so interesting and insightful i changed my major from psychology to criminology.
3311,good,"Hylton was pretty cold-shouldered and was pissed if you walked into class in the mid of lecture. I got an A in the class, but had to study my butt off for it, like studying for hours on weekends before exams. Do the homework/practices and DEFINITELY attend recitation (that's basically where you learn it all). TA Justin's good. Not bad w/ hard work!"
547,awesome,"McPike has a great grasp on the material, is very helpful, and very kind. It was a great class, I'd recommend her to anyone."
1830,awesome,"Professor Whitebourne is an easy teacher, yes, you don't need to go to class but if you want an easy A (which is what this class was an easy A): go to class, take notes, write down REVIEW POINTS, sit there and smile. HOWEVER, she is extremely full of herself and obsessed with the Aging topic and population. Also tries to conform you to gerontology"
1566,awful,No Comments
1694,average,Prof. Cook is a very nice man but his class is very difficult. You must go to class to have somewhat of an idea as to what's going on. I was required to take this class for my major and I am absolutely horrible at math. I ended up with a C- probably because I met with him to discuss exams and made it clear that I was trying my best.
2450,good,his tests were brutal. but he's pretty hot (from the balcony) LOL
1822,average,"Wicked easy class. The review points at the end of each lecture comprise all of the questions on the exams. She was annoying, but the material was a breeze."
3151,awful,His tests only focus on a randomly selected 5% of the material - it's so ridiculous. Someone who knows virtually nothing on the chapter can walk out with an A while someone who has mastered most of the chapter gets a C. You have to be lucky to do well.
2488,awesome,No Comments
611,awesome,Professor Everett was one of the most passionate professors I have ever seen and that was only after an online class. I would recommend him to anyone need to take Brit Lit II. I learned so much and wash challenged in the best ways possible.
1336,awesome,AMAZING!
3273,average,"It says something when there are two Hylton classes unfilled, and Harley has one with a long waitlist. She comes across as very rude/condescending, and as someone below said, she's really anal about laptops/phones. Calls you out on it, too. Hates it if you're late. Treats you like you're 10. MUST study *****A LOT***** for an A. Bottom line - avoid."
640,good,"I just finished this class today. I'm not going to say it was an easy class, but it was not hard either. A lot of writing. I definitely recommend this taking this course. Mr. Everett was very helpful."
930,awesome,She is the BEST professor I have ever taken!!!! I like to stop by her office every now and then just to keep in touch with her. You will love her and especially love going to her classes!
2314,average,"very cocky prof. tests were written very unfairly, they were way too specific!"
3297,good,"A good teacher in a bland subject. She expects student conduct to be high, some folks don't like that but I found it to be helpful when students were told to stop talking or stop texting...its distracting and rude. The course is hard, study and read, do the homework (every week) and attend her reviews."
742,awful,I didnt take Calc in High School so I went in expecting to learn it. Nope. If you take his class get ready to spend hours in the help center in Lederle and the LRC. Looking at the review for the exam makes you realize exactly how little he covered during lecture.
637,good,"Learned a lot in this class. If you can write a decent essay you will do fine. Just a lot of work with little to no time between essays. He grades hard, no slack. He covers a ton load of literature, so get ready to read. Mr. Everett wants you to walk away from his class with the tools for the future and not just the letter grade."
2304,average,"interesting material, but he regurgitates the text in lectures. kinda cocky"
3852,awesome,"I originally thought I was going to hate this class and it would be a bore, but I actually looked forward to this class every week! She has a ton of energy and is hilarious in class. DEFINITELY TAKE HER. She doesn't put PowerPoints on BlackBoard so you have to show up to class to get the notes or else you're lost. Her exams are straightforward."
2405,poor,"extremly unclear focus on lectures; He spent an entire lecture on naming molecules, to tell us later that he will never question naming...wtf??? If you can score above 80 in his class, you are a genius. his test average is usually 45%-56%!!"
2313,awesome,FANTASTIC PROF
1097,poor,"the whole class is basically about memorizing diagrams. quizzes once a week..he will be very unclear about how he grades the class. you won't know your grade until after the final exam. difficult class, confusing at times..TAKE NOTES."
2292,poor,I found out that sociology was more than this!
48,awesome,His classes were the highlight of my week.
2858,poor,"One of the hardest 2nd Yr course i've ever done, and he's not that useful too.."
3193,average,"Took it online during summer. Material is not that hard, but since it's a crash course that's what makes it harder. You need to digest so much info within a very short time ( 4 weeks). Get ready to study on ur own, as there no recorded prof. lectures. But take advantage of all the online resources, mastering those helps a lot on tests & final."
921,awesome,This teacher is amazing! Shes great and she thinks of the students first! She is very opinionated and isn't afraid to say whats on her mind. I took one of her online classes and she randomly sent everyone an email stating that we may have had a hard week in our other classes so the quiz and discussion board for the week was canceled. TAKE HER!

3246,average,"Avoid her if you can. She's a hard grader, takes points off for minimun stuff...she took points off from my hw bc the printing was not clear enough and at the of the semester she didn't let me see my final exam. Class is hard, so be prepared! 1 midterm and non-cumulative final"
756,awful,"all he talks about is archimedes, galileo, isaac newton, and isaac barrow. does not teach the material and tests are completely different from what he talks about. this man should be ashamed of himself"
4286,average,"Super easy class, read the book and you'll do fine. He's a nice guy, but tends to ramble during lectures (he doesn't mind if you fall asleep though). The subject is kind of repetitive and very theoretical. Mostly just memorize the sociologist's names and corresponding theories and tests will be a piece of cake. "
2804,good,"Very steep learning curve. If you read his lectures for the first time, they seem disorganized and proofs jump out from no where. But if you put effort into understanding it, the lecture notes are sufficient and you begin to appreciate smart ways he presents proofs. The TAs were very kind and helpful as well. got 100% with hard work..its doable."
2432,good,okay professor
4310,poor,"Its was very easy, you don't need to attend class because nothing he says is useful honestly. As long as you use the text book and answer the study guide you'll get an A+. Its really easy, I googled the terms I didn't understand and still got an A- on my test"
2210,good,"Lectures are always well organized and coherent. His explanations are easy to understand and he speaks at a good pace and repeats important concepts so you dont have to worry about missing things from a lecture. course website useful and up to date. fair tests, nice guy, fun to learn. best prof."
1886,awesome,"Overall, a pretty good class. She makes a sensitive subject better to talk about. A little spacey and ditsy....but a very intelligent woman."
4051,awful,"Even if you don't have him listed as your instructor. He's still the guy that gives your professors the homework and tests. This class is the reason i am not majoring in network security. Not because its hard, but rather the feeble minded department heads like lyons. He is a control freak, but at the same time very knowledge in the subject."
2592,average,"Unless accounting is completely new to you, dont go to class. She does a fine job of compressing 2 hours of textbook reading into a 3 hour class. Dont go to class, read the text, and watch for the minor details they can catch you on. Dungan and Oesch are great, shes a complete drag on the course. Not bad to look at though!"
1919,good,No Comments
836,good,"ppl are u guyz serious??? Cook is not that bad, I mean hes funny and enthusiastic to teach. The only problem i had with him was that most times he spent alot of time explaining an simple problem which made it more confusing. Overall his class is not bad at all."
2498,good,"i like his notes, i understand his notes....his notes make me less confused (which isn't all that much seeing as how my confusion is so far beyond help that not even einstein himself would try)....so yea, good notes..."
1727,awful,Cook makes this a really hard class. He refuses to actually teach the material by using examples and going over things step by step. According to him thats not his job. His job is to teach mathmatics not to hold your hand. He goes off topic a lot to complain about cell phones and calculators. If you can take any other teacher for calc I suggest it.
3607,good,"Fondufe was very energetic in her explanations. She explains well and gives very detailed slides but you REALLY cant guess anything on the tests. It is extremely detailed in what it asks for. However, if you read and know theh text book left and right then you'll be fine."
4257,average,"Ok professor, she doesn't seem to have much real world experience, I believe most of her examples are her research findings. If you have management experience (from the real world) the class isn't hard."
1831,awful,"Easy A. BUT, most unbearable class ever. I know more about her personal life than psychology because EVERYTHING is about her. She talks down to people and acts like she could never be wrong. Opitomy of annoyance. Bring earplugs and just copy the review points"
3307,awful,"I hate this class. Her TA's are snobby and rude. They act better than you for being 30 and making minimum wage. I find her personally annoying and her class painful. I hated every single moment I spent there. Unfortunately, you're stuck because she's the only one the teaches the class at this glorified commuter school."
1582,awful,He's the worst professor I've ever had...he doesn't explain anything and he spends the class writing down everythinghe says as he says it and says Uhhh....way too much....He's a terrible teacher....
3241,average,Just finished Acccounting 203 with Hylton. I doubt any accounting majors made these comments so far. Do yourself a favor and if you aren't serious about college don't take her because it will just hurt your gpa and you'll whine about her forever. If you are an accounting major take her
1070,awful,"Worst class I've ever taken, very confusing way of teaching. his exams are really hard and he's very unclear in class. you'll never know your grade and he will not reply to your emails."
4231,average,The lectures are a bit boring but not difficult. Most of the work is done in lab. Exams are pretty hard.
1283,awesome,"I love Professor Rahhal! Her lectures are never boring, she knows how to keep it interesting and even though there are 470 kids in the class she knows how to get students to engage with each other. She drops 2 online quizzes, 1 exam, and 1 writing assignment. There is no final exam, because the 4 tests (3 counted) are non-cumulative!"
4362,poor,the only class i've ever actually fallen asleep in.
2889,poor,"Tepperman's lectures are long and his ideas are not organized well. He expects everyone to think like he does that's why he sets 100 multiple choice questions for the tests. I would advise people who hate memorizing to reconsider taking this course, because that's all there is to be honest. The readings are essential to passing."
4183,awful,"this was my first time taking an online class, i really hated. there was no other teacher that teach in class available. the information was not very clear and the test was not related to the material i studied somewhat. the Qs on the test were tricky, the answers were very similar which confuse the hell out of students who taking her exams."
3247,average,The class has a lot of material but was not that difficult to understand. READ THE BOOK. She disrupted class numerous times for students coming in late which personally I found ridiculous. Come the class before exams; she covers the test material. She was not helpful and very rude when I informed her I had a problem with the online hw.
3580,poor,Just Hated this professor and her teaching!
4170,poor,Spring semester is always difficult. Crazy class. I think we should this class in Summer or Fall.
1326,awesome,She is a good teacher. A lot of notes on her slides and she kinda goes fast. READ the hauke book for the in class writing. it was the difference between a B and an A- for me. Great class overall
1647,awesome,"He isn't bad at all. He's a joker and a half and he tells you what will be on the exams. If you go to class and do the pactice problems in the class, you'll probably get an at least a B+"
3658,average,"Nice lady, but HARD teacher. Gives way too many notes, and expects you to memorize and understand far too much information and far too many concepts. If you're a biology major, she's probably a good teacher to have. If you're not, you'll be in way over your head."
2640,poor,She just reads off the slides.
2755,poor,No Comments
3875,awesome,Amazing professor! She makes you want to actually show up to class and her tests are straight forward. Super nice and funny too
3551,good,Dr. Fondufe is full of life and fun. Her study guides make exams easy. Pretty straightforward class overall.
3576,good,"She's awesome. I took her for Bio 103 and 104 and I would def. recommend her!! If you bother going to lecture, she's knows what she's talking about but if you miss class all of her notes are online. Tests can be tricky but study the power points and you'll be fine. Very easy to get an A or B. DON'T BUY THE BOOK, you don't need it for her class!"
2016,awesome,"Dr. Goodenough is the best professor I've had at UMASS. She is very funny and always kept class interesting. I took it as a "team taught" course, and out of the 3 professors I had, she was by far the best. I recommend it as a GenEd for anyone who needs a BS or just more credits, and I recommend Dr. Goodenough for anyone who wants an awesome professor."
4158,good,"Expect alot of work in his class. Doesn't tolerate s*** from his students. Takes mad attendence. Threatens to remove lecture slides if class attendence is low. If you go to class, he will help you otherwise forget it."
1835,good,she is very energentic and it makes her class that much more interesting.
1373,awesome,She does a great job at teaching a lecture of 500. Her exams are pretty easy. All you need to do is read the modules that she assigns. She allows a ton of extra credit which is a plus. She's just an entertaining professor.
3715,awesome,Very good except for the laboratory sections. Perfect for a science gen ed. requirement
2815,awful,he did not do a good job in delivering the material
3456,awful,"Very nasty teacher, don't ever slam the door or she freaks, she fails many of her student, the secret is keep up on your homework"
867,average,"He covers the same material for about 3 weeks straight. Tests are pretty easy, but he isn't always clear in lecture. Easy to get a good grade in his class."
926,awesome,"Best prof ever!.I have been to colleges in Nigeria,Canada,&USA.Thats more than half way across the earth globe,and all thru the Atlantic ocean.I would say this is the best prof that ever lived on earth. i took this class in 2010.If you cnt get at least a B in this class,you got real problems."
3773,good,EASY CLASS!!!! GREAT FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT SCIENCE MAJORS AND JUST NEED THE CREDIT!!!! SHE IS AN AWESOME AND EASY TEACHER!!!!
997,good,"I struggled with this class at first, esp. being my first semester of freshman year, but definitely attend every lecture. His powerpoints are directly related to his exams, and you can only understand the material if you pay attention in class. If you tend to zone out or it still does not click in, GO SEE GARBIS at the LRC! He is the best tutor!!"
1337,good,"Being an International Student, I find her good."
3579,good,She is a nice lady. All you have to do is study the powerpoints and you should do fine on the exams. Class is not mandatory...(she tells you when the quizes are going to be)
1099,awful,I hated this class. I would only suggest it if biology is your major and you have taken AP Bio in highschool. I did not understand anything and no one I knew in the class did either. I left the class knowing less about biology then I did going it. He was really vauge on how he was going to grade. I got a D.
1132,awesome,"At the beginning of the semester, you will be confused as hell. But once you get used to his system and go to all of his review sessions, it is not that hard to get a grade of B or above. Tests are fairly easy but there are some challenging questions as well. My favorite class thie semester."
2004,awesome,Awesome teacher who seems to really love what she does. She uses countless examples and tries very hard to simplify information to help students.
2115,awesome,"I am absolutely shocked by all these negative comments. Professor Brym's lectures are straightforward and interesting. He is very well-spoken! The course isn't the easiest, but if you actually engage in this class through taking notes and doing the readings you will earn the credit while having learned something of practical importance. Brym <3!"
210,poor,"he is a horrible prof. we can barely hear him. To get a good grade, try to get as many small points as possible. This is exactly what I did and ended up w/ A. Such as get A in presentations, problem sets & lab reports. And then obviously study for exams. Must get old exams from friends in order to do well coz he recycles the old exam questions."
4336,good,"really nice guy but class was boring..he gives study guides for tha exams so i recommend doing them..so it was ok, could have been better"
2208,awful,"i honestly have to say that he is the wrost prof. ever. he is condescending, arrogant and rude. not to mention that he calls his students liars, when they face him with the reality that he is the one not telling the truth."
59,awesome,"I love him so much, such an awesome professor. Only if i had a teacher like him, in goo'ol early days."
1211,awesome,The best professor I've had in my 4 years at college. Makes biology more fun and makes you think hard. Has a good sense of humor but very disciplined.
2456,average,"Prof Browning has an easygoing nature and is humourous, but his test was pretty hard.."
1972,awesome,BEST PROFESSOR EVER. It was my favorite class I took in college and I don't like science at all.
4340,awesome,"I don't understand how anyone could dislike this man! He is so nice! Also, his class is simple, he hands out a sheet the literally lists everything that's going to be on the test.. if you study it there's no way you can fail! I love him, I can tell he loves teaching and he tries so hard to make jokes.. it's cute"
1705,poor,"Do yourself a favor and ignore all the ratings that say that he is of any help. I had a 3.8 GPA until I took this class, and FAILED my first college test with this guy. He might be a nice guy but he should have retired 30 years ago. I attended all of his lectures, along with turoing, and BOTH reviews before the test. Got 60's on first two tests."
765,awful,"Avoid Cook at all costs. Easily the worst professor I've ever had. He exams are nothing like the practice exams, homeworks, SI sessions, or what he does during lecture. Even the TA can't figure out what Cook is asking in exam questions. Very misleading. Even if you work hard, your final grade is left to luck. He never checks his email."
2493,awesome,"This guy owns as a prof. He loves his chemistry, and tries to explain things as if he's teaching a first year class, not lecturing to Nobel laureates."
4121,awful,"There was little to no explanation on the project, which is 25 percent of your grade, and he would rather make you feel stupid then help you understand what he wants you to do."
1078,average,"Alright Biotappers, this is a logic class so learn to think the way he thinks and you will get an A. Refuse to go through what he says is right then its most likely going to be a B. You almost never use the book so just share with someone else. If you had a great bio teacher, get ready for the worst. He procrastinates and personally doesnt teach."
4136,awesome,"With Lyons, your either going to love him or hate him. I thought he was a great instructor, and I learned from the course. Very helpful with going over the assignments and homeworks. Don't try to bull**** your way through his class and expect an A."
2787,awful,"You are either one of 3 students, someone that already knows all the proofs, somebody that will fail, or somebody that will memorize about a hundred past exam questions and pass with a 70. No other way to deal with this course"
1538,awful,"save yourself, i got an A and still hate the dude!! judt awful. had to teach myself and after the first 4 weeks never went to class because he never said anything worth hearing"
2426,awesome,I love him! he is by far the best prof I have had all year! Hes a treat and makes me want to go chemistry - which is hard to accomplish!
2409,good,Organic Chemistry is...how to put it in clearly understandable terms...murder.
2451,awesome,great!
582,awesome,Very lively lectures especially when he does experiments in class.
2329,average,"The guys is so full of himself and yes, his lectures are all out of the book"
3909,awesome,"One of the best classes I've taken. INCREDIBLE professor! You will learn SO MUCH in this course. Be prepared, it's a no BS class. You are going to have to work, but more importantly use your brain and challenge it. I'd take any class with her if only I were an ARTH major."
3570,average,Very energetic teacher. Test questions written more complicated than needed. She likes questions beginning with "which one of these is NOT..." Arrgh!
940,awesome,Had her three times she is the best. Love her. MUST TAKE!!!!!!!
1080,average,Randy's class was based on logic. He assigned 4 chapters to read all semester- none of which were necessary for the exams. We didn't get any quiz grades back from the weekly quizzes because he wanted us to ponder the questions all semester. He put the exam answers up about a month after the exams. He used PRS every class. Overall didn't learn much.
187,awesome,"He was a great professor, the lectures were always very interesting. He definitely cares about the students as long as he sees you are trying. The labs are pretty easy and straight forward. Take good notes during lecture, you can honestly pass the test just off of this. He gives great examples during lecture, understand it and you'll be ok."
941,awesome,"Had her three times this semester, and I wouldn't have gotten my gpa where it could be without her. Her lectures aren't boring, easy to understand. Tests are easy, as long as you know the information. Shes my best friend :) Spent most time in her office just talking haha. MUST TAKE!"
2741,awful,No Comments
3664,awesome,very energetic
2689,average,No Comments
4303,average,Nice professor. It's an easy A class. You don't need to show up and still pass. You just have to read the chapters before the test and quiz and you'll be alright.
2086,poor,boring
3680,average,"she is an alright teacher, if you are horrible in science do not take her, I talked with her and she says that she has the hardest tests out of the bio department!"
2279,average,"writes his own book EVERY YEAR, killed me and my brothers, what to do with the books?"
226,poor,"I took his bio class about four years ago. I'm in medical school now, and still think his class was more difficult than necessary. Obtain old tests. Give your clicker to someone else. Find old lab reports. Do what it takes to get ahead. I wouldn't be where i am without these tricks."
4009,average,"Theres alot of hate going around with lyons. Most of it is whining. Hes not that bad. yeah hes not a real pleasant guy but he knows his stuff. if you wanna learn take him, he makes you think about security the right way not just reading off the ppt slides. Lyons writes the exams. It wasn't much work, a few assignments, and like 2-3 tests."
535,average,She is da bomb. After class we would smoke a fat bowl in her office and chat the time away comparing and contrasting various philosophers. Take this class if you wanna get high!!
1717,awful,"Worst Teacher. TA test reviews do not help and if you approach Prof. Cook for help, he does nothing for you. Read the book, SI sessions help. Everyone fails that tests, but you should end up with a C if you do the owls."
3816,poor,"Last semester was nice but it fell apart.She gives skeleton notes and expects you to write down everything she says.Thats her way of punishing those who dont come to class.She makes us print out the labs; thats about 2,500 sheets of paper wasted per week; way to teach us to be environmental friendly"
1404,good,tammy rahhal is awesome...everyone should take her class. her teaching make me wanna wake up in the morning to take this class...she's spunky and funny and full of life.
3217,awful,Try to find another if possible. She is the rudest teacher you can possibly find in Mason. She is harsh and does not respect students. She thinks she knows a lot and she is the type of person that will not accept she made a mistake even if she did. Her specialty is to step on you and make you feel stupid. I wish I could've dropped her class.
3305,awful,"Avoid her if at all possible. She does not teach the material well and does not want (or is able) to help you outside of class. I can honestly think of no redeeming characteristics she posseses as a professor (for this class at least). If, like me, you have to take her...JAH bless!"
697,awesome,Wow not as easy as i thought she would be! But its research sooo.. She grades only on Mid(1st part of paper) and final (ure final paper) just choose a good topic and the right group and dont slack ull be fine. shes super nice too so ask and shell help.
1124,good,AWESOME!
4372,good,He's okay and very nice...his exams are hard...but if you have him...make sure you do the readings regularly and do the study guide and u'll be in good shape. he gives a lot of xtra credit...i wouldnt even bother goin to lecture...its a waste of time! just go to the review classes!
2172,average,"A very smart professor. However, these needs to be a drastic audit on the methods of evaluation. There should be tutorials, no excuse. BIO150 with comparable size had them. Often, lectures were very dry and simply from the text. TA's not approachable, and useless at times. Monotonous at times. My overall grade for Brym is a c-"
2266,awesome,No Comments
586,awesome,"Being his brother, it's hard to find any of his good qualities, but this man is brilliant (relative to most, not me), if you fail his class, perhaps the problem lies in your own stupidity."
2367,good,"Dr. Browning is a very funny professor. You definitely DO NOT want to miss his lectures, he is a hilarious person, even though some of the CHM stuff is difficult. It is because of him that made chemistry more bearable for the first year."
1400,average,No Comments
3424,awful,definitely needs a new career because she cant teach accounting. doesnt care that the majority of the class has d's and has a more than annoying voice.
2442,awesome,No Comments
2218,awesome,Prof Brym is an amazing teacher. He speaks with charisma and enthusiasm! He is very approachable and communicates well with all. His website is one of the best maintained of all UofT professors! Tests are not hard--this is UofT; not high school!
1037,poor,He refuses to help when I ask and i've asked multiple times
208,awesome,"Dr. Molumby is excellent. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about biology. He tells some fascinating stories in class, all of which are relevant and many ended up on exams. His exams are difficult. If it's hard to hear him, just sit closer. It's not his fault - UIC desperately needs to invest in new P.A. systems for the large lecture halls!"
2358,awesome,"Great lectures. Good explanation of lecture materials, sometimes adds humour to lectures. Tests were next level hard."
565,awful,"worst teacher ever! everyone in his class is smarter than he is, he always makes mistakes.How did he EVER get his PhD? PLEASE GET FIRED!! cuz i can't learn anything from somone who doesnt even know what they are talking about."
313,awesome,"i love him!! he's nice, very informative, makes material easy to understand and makes it a enjoyable experience. i wish ppl would stop dogging him....HE ROCKS!"
601,average,"As a Brit Lit I student I was not excited about the material until closer to the end of the semester, and English is my major. Although his tests are hard, they are not meant to trick you. I do not think I'll take Prof. Everett next semester, but if you choose to, you better be on top of your writing and grammar game. He expects a lot from you."
233,awful,"He is a great lecturer and interesting to listen to.He uses real life stories to explain the topics. Exam questions are vague and misleading,written deliberately to trick students into choosing wrong answers.It's more about how well you memorize every last detail from about 1600 of his ppt slides than how well you understand the concepts."
3366,awful,"She is disrespectful teacher, I had never seen. She yell at every students. What ever you done, getting low grade. She is not professional. Don't be in her class"
931,awesome,"She is one of the most influential people in my college career. I stop by her office on the regular (as do many other students). She's very personable, interesting and all around just a wonderful person! She's a great professor, teaches you how it REALLY is, not the way society wants you to see the world. Definitely take her class(es) !! :)"
4060,poor,"A good professor or faculty member knows how to network with his students, as their industry/govt connections and influence can prove to be mutually beneficial for the department or the instructor in the future. Michael Lyons obviously never bothered to learn this important life lesson. Prof. Bob Quinn needs to be running this department IMHO."
3837,awesome,"Professor Bauman is a gem of George Mason. She is deeply intelligent and you will walk away from each class a better thinker. She makes things challenging in a productive way. You have to study and take time with this class to get an A, but she will make you want to earn it. Definitely recommend."
4289,average,"He's a very nice man, but his lectures are boring. There were three quizzes, two midterms, and a final. The class is pretty easy if you study and read the textbook. If you're one that likes to skip class, you can definitely still pass if you skip. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's possible."
111,awesome,"This guy was freakin amazing. If you've got to take CS106A and you're not too keen on it, you should definitely take it from Mehran. Seriously. He even passes out candy in class, so you can't go wrong by going to lecture."
3468,good,"Just stick to the study guides and you'll ace every test she gives you. There's a bit of homework too, but other than that I'd definitely recommend her if you're just trying to pass the gen ed"
1089,average,"Class based on logic and reasoning through diagrams than on actually learning content. Personally found it straightforward but a lot of people thought he was very unclear. Easy if you're good with logic, really hard if you're not. Learning how to reason was kind of useful but felt like we could have learned more actual content."
3264,awful,"I please hope this woman is reading up on what her students think of her. She is THE most pathetic teacher, and human being on this campus. Absolutely terrible teaching, because she doesn't teach. She has a nasty attitude to everyone and her class is downright ridiculous. Do not even think about taking class with her."
230,awful,"You don't have to go to his every lecture and read the textbook and still managed to get B in his class.Didn't like his lab reports and problem sets because some of the TA's are really anal about how you write them!To sum up,3 exams the 4th exam is an optional exam.3 problem sets,2 lab reports and 2 presentations."
2170,awful,His lectures are boring and so is the textbook. I could not understand the material nor analyze it correctly. His lectures and material are dry and not interesting. The tests are multiple choice and have some essay questions-extremely hard and detailed. I wish I would have dropped the course sooner or I shouldn't have took the course as an elective
2099,average,"His classes were pretty boring and repetitive. He taught every other lecture and another professor would teach the other lectures. The other professor was better. Pretty tough tests, as all Sociology tests are. They are always worded confusingly. Read the textbook weekly and you'll get a B or B+"
3525,awful,"If you want to learn biology 103, Dr. Fondufe is not for you. In my opinion she didn?ÇÖt teach material, she repeated it. For me her problem is not that she moves ?Ç£too quickly,?Ç¥ it is that she reviewed concepts I had no prior knowledge of. She seemed to be shouting the slides, leaving most of the material to be self-learned or inferred."
472,poor,"This was a hard class and I'm an honors kid who has an interest in the subject. He knows the subject very well but he taught the 021 class as if it were a class in graduate school. There were only 2 chances to get extra credit and none of them were available past the midterm. Good teacher, but very tough class!"
1894,awesome,"she didn't seem to be all there but the class was cool. i was kinda sad when it all ended, she takes everything to heart and that makes the students feel special. quizzes and tests are easy...do ur work and u'll do better than expected."
2487,awesome,"he is soooo sexy, i fantasized all class, which probably explains why i got a B"
2668,poor,No Comments
1912,awesome,"If you ever have the opportunity take her psych 101 class, and even more important... psych of aging. I took this class back in 98, and it has staying with me more then any other class i have ever taken. A degree from UMass is not complete w/o this clas"
1127,awesome,"Phillis is an amazing teacher. Instead of memorization which is what Bio usually is, he makes almost every concept into a series of puzzles to solve. He is very dedicated to teaching and is really smart. The only problem is his tests are constantly full of typos which confuse the problem... usually he gives you the points though"
2374,awesome,"Atrocious grammar. He says then on average 2 times per minute. Yes I counted, it drives me crazy. Also explains things in minute detail - so I'm sure everyone and their dog understands, but it gets a little tiresome."
1769,poor,I don't get calculus and he isn't helping much!
3930,awesome,"Just as everyone says, there are three test non are cumulative. There are 2 papers not more than 2 pages. A very fun and outgoing teacher that I think made me interested in Art History...One of My favorite classes...If need to take Art History she is one of the best. I recommend her..."
4208,poor,"Don't take MGMT301 during regular semester!She don't allow international students use dictornay during the exams, and the paper assignment is really hard to get a good grade!"
2596,poor,not very good lecturer. the lectures is just the textbook repeated. tests are not hard but made to trick you. i didnt enjoy this class
3593,poor,"Questions from the test are ridiculously difficult and are half are reworded directly from the book. The quizzes are the same way; trick questions on EVERY OTHER QUESTION. Powerpoints that are directly from the book software. Are you seeing a pattern? If you need a 103/104 class, take Laemmerzahl. This professor is essentially useless."
3862,awesome,"I took 3 classes with Dr. Bauman while at GMU - the first was mandatory for fine arts and the other two were out of choice because the first class was so awesome. She's an incredible teacher and she honestly changed my life. Tests are very tied to class material - if you show up and pay attention, you'll be fine. Tough but fair in grading."
361,awesome,"Well, I would agree his exams were very difficul. I took him my first year though and didtn put emphasis on the book. If you read the book n memorize his slides you should fair well. He's a great guy still says hi to me"
135,awful,"Worthless teacher, worthless person, just worthless matter"
1134,awesome,"Phillis is a great guy and is very elaborate in his explanations. I highly recommend taking his class. I never really used the book, but if you go to class and lab, you should be fine."
2406,awesome,"Very clear in class with adequate info in notes. However, the term test was difficult. Final exam was fine. Adorable, funny, and helpful. Favourite prof so far!"
1151,awful,"This man is quite possibly the worste teacher I have ever had. It was best not to listen to what he had to say (I got an A). He drew the most confusing diagrams I have ever seen, and made things more complicated than they needed to be. If you gave this man a good review, then you have never had a good biology teacher. I got a 5 on AP Bio + 740 SAT2"
4131,average,This is the worst class I ever had and the hardest I have ever taken and Mason. Try to take this class with another professor....Professor Lyons knows his stuff but is rude and nasty and the class did not have to be PHd difficult for the students to get the concepts.
3384,good,"Not the easiest teacher, trys to make the class average a C, but not impossible to do better, I had a 60 avg going into the final and passed the class (IDK how though)"
2921,awful,"I wish I never took this course. He does not deserve the esteemed position he holds in this University: he doesn't teach, does not help students and will demean and embarass them any chance he gets. Please avoid this class and avoid making the same mistake that I, and apparently others, did."
1053,poor,"His me tires are almost impossible to follow never mind take notes on and he doesn't communicate well with TAs which makes discussions almost useless. The only savior is the SI of the class and then the exam reviews. If I have the choice I will never take his class again, makes things way more a stressful than they should be."
3939,awesome,"One of the best professors at Mason. Loves her subject and gets you to love it too. Take notes, study hard, go to class and you'll do well. I got a B+ but I had to work really hard and I am a history and art history major. She just expects a lot from her students but what you give you will get in return. She is FANTASTIC. Take her class!"
22,poor,she comments all the time on how she has a phd yet gets stumped once a period
2303,awesome,extremely interesting
1653,awful,"Avoid Cook at all costs. Easily the worst professor I've ever had. He exams are nothing like the practice exams, homeworks, SI sessions, or what he does during lecture. Even the TA can't figure out what Cook is asking in exam questions. Very misleading. Even if you work hard, your final grade is left to luck. He never checks his email."
2093,average,"Brym covers the research aspects of sociology, mainly math, and as a social science student it isn't exactly my strong suit, and its confusing to follow. Tells funny jokes occasionally. But make sure you really pay attention to his information, because reading the textbook for his sections does not help, and his section of the test is rough. "
3999,average,"Here are the things you should know about the course and the professor; you cant miss lecture, you should take notes for the entire 3 hours of lecture word by word, group project is 30% and no guidance is provided by the professor, homeworks are concentrated towards the second half. The professor is smart but the course is irrelevant to info-sec."
695,awful,worst professor ever. so unorganized that it's not even worth the A i'm probably going to get. don't buy the books - you never use them. rambles and goes off topic. just stay away!!!
2174,awesome,"One of the most fair profs of U of T. A rare thing. All you need to do is, KEEP UP WITH THE READINGS...Study sociology every weekend...read the chapter like 3 or 4 times and not leave the reading till the weekend b4 the test, and there is no reason why you should get less than B in the course. Tests are slightly tough, but totally fair. Great prof"
3126,awesome,No Comments
420,good,Good class. Powerpoint lectures. Labs are easy. Tests are a little hard. Reading the book isn't really necessary-just study the notes.
2389,awesome,"Dude is my hero. He made me smart. Lectures were off the hizzle, but midterm made me cry. Mmmmmm"
3435,average,"Goes way too fast with material, tests are hard but seem to get easier, just make sure you do good on the project"
460,awful,"He is a very nice teacher and an interesting character. On the other hand, the tests are very difficult. Assigned readings are barely even covered on the test and the notes in class are quite confusing. Would not recommend half of the class have dropped the class."
1067,average,Randall is awesome
87,awesome,Best. Prof. Ever.
3188,awful,"In class she literally calls out people who go to the bathroom. She'd rather disrupt class to publicly shame the poor student and say how ""her class isn't a movie theater"" than actually teach it. Also, don't bother showing up if you're even the slightest bit late for class, you will also be ostracized. I think this says a lot about her as a teacher"
2059,awesome,Easy class. Grade is based only on a few midterms and the final. Drops the lowest final. Goes through material extremely slowly. Can probably ace the class by reading the material just before the exams. Recommended if you are looking for an easy A.
3414,good,Its a hard class and she moves very very fast through the material. She can come off as a little uninterested in helping students but if you go to office hours you will get help.
2420,awesome,We love him
282,poor,"the exams are hard because he makes them that way intentionally so know your stuff and study for the exams! i got an A from doing well on the first 2 exams, bombed the third one but the final is optional"
3089,good,Nice
1872,good,Easy to the point of being embarraasing.
2318,awesome,Brym takes the TTC!! Wow!! He really DOES care about the environment!!
540,awesome,"She is an extremely nice professor and an easy grader. There are quizzes every day but she gives many opportunities for extra credit. The material and class sessions are VERY boring, but its an easy way to fulfill a PHL requirement."
3450,good,"Can be oversensitive at times, but when she lectures she is interesting to listen to.She gives out review sheets and tells you problems to concentrate on before the test!I went to all classes and studied day of the tests only, 97% going into the final."
3532,awesome,"Dr. Fondufe is an excellent professor. She is extremely well versed in Biology and she teaches well. She is vibrant and friendly and is very open to asking questions and giving answers. No pressures. Her exams are quite difficult. She is good at posting on BlackBoard and if you read, attend class and pay attention, you'll do well. I enjoyed her."

533,average,This teacher was way too interested in the sound of her own voice. I dont think she even understood half the stuff she was saying and most of it was B.S. She talked to us like we were 4th graders. Take this class if you want to be bored out of your mind.
1368,awesome,"I love this class and have not missed one lecture because i really enjoy going! Professor Rahhal is so funny and makes the class really interactive with all sorts of fun experiments, which really helped me to learn the material better."
3853,awesome,"Dr. Bauman is exceptionally brilliant but for someone who is not very literate in art, I really struggled. She is REALLY hilarious and has amazing lectures. Although I did not put in enough effort into this class, I would absolutely recommend her. She will help you but get ready to be productive!"
4175,awful,Very rude and I quit because of the way she treated me.
2019,good,Her tests are easy if you go to class. I didn't go to class for the first test and I did poorly. Same for the final. Just go to class and there's no need for the book just study with the notes she gives out.
4258,awesome,great
3925,awesome,"This woman is fantastic. She is a brilliant instructor, helpful, funny, interesting. If you need your gen ed class this is fantastic you will fall in love with her! Textbooks are cheap. Just tests and she gives you everything that you need to get an A. TAKE HER!!!! :)"
3121,awful,Hw looks like Bill Gates. He is hard. Dont take the class.
3742,awesome,"Her lecture was easy, but the lab is so annoying. But if you take care of the exams, it would be easy A. And also, lots of extra credits chances for visiting museums and so on."
662,good,This was the toughest class I have taken so far. If your not 100% comfortable with the day and time with this teacher then don't take this course. Nod off in this guys class and he'll pop off. Gives an ok review for tests and encourages students to visit him during O.H. if you need help. Do the reading because this guy pop quizzes like a wizard.
4366,poor,"First day of class went off on tangent when discussing syllabus. Hardly finished the syllabus before class was over. Couldn't follow lecture, either. The man was all over the place and the tests were just the same."
2085,awesome,"amusing, makes class fun and interesting at times"
3125,awesome,His final was impossible
4153,average,Just finished his final yesterday which is EXACTLY like the midterm except for about 10 different identification questions. Also gives the option to do 4 out of 6 short answers and 1 out of 5 essays. As long as you do the work you're ok. Go to class!
2345,poor,The whole class is self-promotion and quoting from the textbooks (that HE wrote)
2676,awesome,"excellent lecturer, fair marks"
4345,awful,"This professor is extremely boring, all he does is lecture. His reviews are pointless, and his exams are hard. DOES NOT FOLLOW SYLLABUS AT ALL!! He says if you come to class you will do fine but really just read the book. Alot of material you need to read the book to know. Horrible professor."
1420,awesome,"makes the class very interesting, made me want to minor in psychology, highly reccomend taking her class!"
2603,awful,Not a very good professor overall.... Does not respond well when questions are asked and just does not have a passion to teach the course....and she has this pretty irritating voice....
1553,awful,"Very boring class, you feel like you are really not learning anything. Not recomended"
942,awesome,"She is great! One of my favorite professors I have taken (and I'm a senior). She makes Sociology personal, and that makes the class very interesting. She really cares about her students, and will help you in any way she can to get the best grade possible."
2669,poor,No Comments
779,awful,"He is by FAR the WORST professor in UMASS. His lectures are very unorganized, so it's hard to take notes in class. He has no information about the class posted on his site. He is not clear in his lectures. If it wasn't a required course, I would avoid him."
1988,awesome,She is an AWESOME teacher! Bio 106 is such an easy class because you can get the notes at the annex and there's no need to even go to class if you read them although honestly I wanted to go to class because she makes it so interesting and funny. She uses demonstrations and jokes around to make the class material enjoyable. DEF TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
2623,awesome,"She is much better in this class than in mgt120. Explains everything perfectly, and always encourages questions. take her for mgt223 if you get the chance."
4184,awful,I?m disappointed with Mason and the quality of professors they have. Class is bad as well as the professor and lab instructors that have no idea what are they talking about. Tests are meant for challenging and failing the students and generate a source of revenue to the school. This is by far the worst class I?ve taken since I started Mason.
2663,awful,annoying voice & poor teaching skill
3596,average,"Sit near-ish the front, print out the power points, and you'll be fine."
121,awesome,"Dr. Alexander is very eccentric. His lectures are full of tangents, jokes, and even singing. Don't let that dissuade you, he is a fantastic professor. The online notes he provides are so detailed you could pass the class just by studying them, but I attended every lecture because I enjoyed them so much. He is very knowledgeable too."
887,good,he actually explains what he means
4215,awesome,"Not a bad professor,"
685,awesome,"SHE IS AMAZING! She makes sure you know everything about anything before you have to write the huge research paper. It was not bad at all! Very fun, relaxed class but we learned at the same time. Thanks to her, I know how to correctly write a research paper. She is a breath of fresh air compared to the more lecture-happy professors on this campus."
3560,average,Very difficult professor. I took IB biology in high school before taking cell bio. On the first day she said there is a 33% failure rate. I got a D and had to repeat the class and that destroyed my college school for the next 4 years.
1844,good,WHITBOURNE ROCKS!! Definitely take a class with her! If you try there is NO WAY you can fail this class. Lectures are interesting and she knows how to keep the class awake even at 9am! She's a great teacher and gives soo many opportunities for every1 to pass! take a class with her!
4155,awful,"Extremely hard. Very intimidating. Not recommended however, right now he's the only one that teaches IT 221. Go to every class and keep up with your homework. Good luck."
2457,good,I think that he was good but his tests were really hard! Chm in general is not that generous with marks!
413,awesome,"hi molumby,i know your reading this right now. prof. molumby is well organized with fun lectures,but he talks too fast.you need to slow down a bit when you go on with lecture prof. his exams are a bit difficult and need to make sure to read the book because the exams cover book material.c u in clas"
789,awful,Prof is a nice guy but he shouldn't be teaching. His teaching style is random and he does a horrible job of actually explaining the material. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND DROP THIS CLASS ASAP OR ELSE YOUR GONNA SUFFER THROUGH THE SEMESTER
3942,awesome,"Um, wow? Whoever said "Greatest Professor at Mason" wasn't joking. She makes boring material look interesting and is EXTREMELY dedicated to being a fantastic teacher. The book is useless; don't buy it. 3 tests and writing assignments. Attendance is mandatory and you're graded on it, but why would you miss this class? It's fantastic!"
3521,awesome,She was is and will be the BEST professor so far!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Honestly she made bio so easy and explained stuff so well! If you are confused on anything just go to her office and you'l LOVE HER!!!
2037,awesome,"although this was a horrible class, it was split between 3 prof's, and Goodenough did a section! She is a good teacher, very clear, exams were a little tricky, but overall, pretty easy!"
2986,awesome,He was the best!
3632,good,"I thought this class was easy. She is definitely energetic but lectures are still boring. I rarely went to lecture and still got an A. Her tests are easy, best way to study is by looking at the power points and reading the chapters. Other than the tests there are no assignments (except in lab). I would recommend taking her."
1688,awful,it was god awful. Hes so old he broke his hip and we got an actually decent teacher. everyones grades jumped up until he came back and they all plummeted. he should stop teaching hes older than the dust in the air.
2817,awful,Easy to get full mark if you memorize. But you cannot learn anything from him. Take sta347 in summer to avoid this ass.
1425,awesome,"Tammy's awesome - Make sure you keep up with the readings and the class is a breeze. She's really funny and randomly gives extra credit points in class, so make sure you go! I highly recommend this class!"
2535,good,"kewl prof, cute,talks alot (good tho), interesting,best prof i had in chem"
272,average,"The class seems good UNTIL... you have to take his tests!! They are so tricky. The best way to prepare yourself is studying off old exams and attempting to memorize all 100+ power point slides, literally. I don't suggest waiting until the night before to study for his tests. you'll drive yourself crazy and be overwhelmed with information."
782,good,I only went to class for the first two weeks of the semester and still got an A. Just do the homework and go to the review sessions before tests. Don't bother buying the book because the Wiley access code you need for the homework comes with an ebook.
521,good,hes a really cool teacher
522,good,"i liked him a lot but the course was really boring... also the tests are insane and you realllly need to study. He didn't give us any extra credit options, but i liked him anyway"
2377,average,His midterms were purely brutal. His examples were way to easy compared to the midterms he wrote. Plus he wasn't great at teaching nor was his powerpoint slides very helpful:T
2341,average,The course and the lectures are really interesting but the testing method sucks!
3571,awesome,"Class can be boring if bio isn't your thing. She was very energetic/enthusiastic which helped make the info more interesting. Exams/material are hard; however she gives VERY detailed study guides -- your grade is up to you. Notes are online, don't need the book, and she does review sessions before exams. Enjoyed her class and got an A!"
4166,poor,Took this course in summer session online. I feel like I was doing work for 2 courses. All her exams are now short answers. A LOT of reading and listening to her monotone PowerPoint.
350,awesome,He is a good prof. It's so interesting and he is so funny. I'm not afraid to ask him questions!
2168,awesome,Amazing prof!! makes the subject matter interesting and easy to understand!!
1995,awesome,She is so nice. Her class is easy. She gives extra credit. Read over your notes and you'll pass the test.
2765,awful,Materials were not clearly explained in lectures. Not willing to answer question
3681,awesome,She is an excellent teacher. I reccomend her. I took 103 and 104 with her and got A's in both of them. Take her..shez awesome
3980,awesome,"Loved her lectures - seamless. She takes great pride in her job and it shows. Comprehensive study guides and papers - which she is willing to read in advance and give feedback for improvement. Loved it, loved it, loved it."
1511,awful,Terrable class. Teach just writes down everything he says and confuses the hell out of you
651,good,"Mr. Everett is very boring but I did learn from his class. Make sure you do the readings, as his tests cover the reading material. Make sure you're well-rested before you come to class, because it's the typical lecture and you might fall asleep otherwise. Study, study, study for the tests and do well on the research paper and you'll be fine."
3757,good,"Okay, this class is easy BUT it is A LOT OF WORK IM TALKING LIKE THE LAB IS 4 HOURS PLUS ANOTHER HOUR OF HW EVERY WEEK. The tests arent bad but lets put it this way, I got an A in other business courses (Accounting, MKT AND ETC.) but got a C in this course. If you are just trying to get a gen ed out of the way that is not a lot of work, avoid."
3500,poor,Thick accent and very difficult tests for a 100-level class. You'd better do well in the lab and on the homework if you want to pass this one.
3158,awful,"This is a self taught class, I repeat SELF TAUGHT! Going to class is honestly useless she doesn't teach, she rambles. You have to invest a lot of time and energy! The tests are really hard. Study the hws and quizzes like your depends on it, the tests are based on that. And don't expect any extra credit or curving from her."
4086,awful,"I emailed this guy to ask a simple question about IT policy at Mason and he replied in a way that made me feel like an idiot for even asking. Not helpful, not smart and if I met this guy on the streets jeez, you know the rest."
4243,awesome,"Her class is extremely clear and organized. The material is not difficult to grasp at all. If you just read the chapters and look at the slides, you should do really well. No surprises. Exams are relatively easy."
3309,awful,"Absolutely no reason to take 361 with this beeeeee-otch...take it with Karen if possible/with Baker if no other options. 361 is a tough class, why hate the class AND the teacher when you don't have to???"
118,awesome,Awesome lecturer who knows his stuff. Funny guy too!
2579,poor,"Very bad teacher. She doesn't teach accounting, she reads accounting. If you have taken accounting in high school, just skip her lectures, they are useless; just read the text."
2351,awesome,"Prof. Browning has really made his lectures amusing. He is quite funny, and his animations are top shelf. Outside of classroom, Pro. Browning is extremely approachable and easygoing. Some say that his tests are hard; First, it isn't very hard and second, he's very willing to help with any questions you have, even dumb questions. XD"
168,poor,"you don't get your grades until the end of the semester. The tests are not based on the powerpoints, and he goes on rants during lectures."
2757,awful,the reason why life sci students are bitter.
1613,awful,the person above somed it up.....ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh awful teacher
835,poor,"Extremely unclear, never gives example problems. The material is not too hard but he makes it very confusing. He's not a bad guy, but his class is very boring and going is a waste of time. He may know what he's talking about, but no one else does. Help sessions w/ the TA's will save you though...but I would avoid him if possible."
1405,awesome,Loved her!
3119,awesome,"Great teacher, however class is exceptionally hard. I did more work for these 3 units (mini course) than i have all year in my calc class."
4161,awesome,"One of the best professors I have had so far in the MBA program. Although she spends a bit more class time in group discussion than I prefer, you can tell that she is actually very prepared for class each week. If youre a decent writer, the class is pretty easy. Attendance is a big part of the 20% participation score, so come and dont leave early."
962,awesome,"Professor Schurter is by far the best professor I've had at UMass. I hate writing, but Schurter made this class enjoyable and inspirational. I learned more useful and relevant information and skills than I have from any other professor at UMass. If you can, make space in your schedule for this class over any other professor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. "
945,awesome,Best online teacher ever. very organized course and easy to navigate. Take this professor! She needs to give a class on teaching to other professors in the world.
462,awesome,"I loved his class! Dr. Capelotti is now one of my favorite professors. His personality makes the class enjoyable, and he made it easy for me to take an interest and really pay attention to the material. This class requires that you study and learn the material outside of class, but that should be required on a college level. His class rocked!"
2284,average,"BORING, he barks at students (cellphones) he's rude and against us mark wise"
328,average,"This guy can teach! The class is a challenge...but a sweet one. If you actually study and seek help when you do not understand something, you will excel. His lectures are the best on campus so far me.Get ready for evolution and truely being able to apply what you learn when you finish this class. Great spring board for genetics and bio curriculum."
3679,awesome,She was a good teacher who definitely knows her biology....the tests were kinda hard....but if you go to class and take notes you should be fine.
3739,awesome,"love love love her!! she's such a great, amazing, nice person :-) the material isn't hard and you don't need the book. just fill out the learning guides during class and you'll do well. the labs are kinda fun. she tells hilarious stories in class. take it in the summer!!!"
2462,awesome,"The most energetic and enthusiastic professor in U or T!!! Made me emjoy organic chemistry even MORE! His test this year, as other people put it, was tough with a 54 class average, but I did well and I found it to be very straightforward."
2247,awesome,"I switched my sociology class to be in Professor Brym's class. I think he's an excellent professor, and really makes the Con Hall experience worthwhile. He is very organized.. and this shows up in my note-taking as well."
3214,average,"The class wasn't that hard, but you really have to study. I think study on your own is the best to learn it."
1360,awesome,"Very good teacher, lots of extra points so very easy to get an A. If your average exam grade happens to be an 80 but u do all OWLs, in-class assignments, experiments and inclass bonuses, you will get an A!"
2223,poor,No Comments
367,good,one of my favorite teachers..kept class interesting..have to go to lectures for the test..but thats not a bad thing :)..knows his bees
4096,poor,"this prof. ignores u when u need help! He will make u feel stupid when you ask a question. He will try to fail you!His tests and quizzes are easy yet he barely gives u any credit because he does not believe in his students passing and doing well, you are lucky if you get a D or a C.. Please don't take him unless u want to ruin part of ur life"
2416,awesome,"Very good prof. Clear, helpful, and genuinely cares about his students doing well."
3362,awesome,she is not bad at all.
4347,poor,"going to class is such a waste of time..looking around, almost everyone who's there is actually sleeping. just read the book with the study guidelines, and you dont even have to go to class"
2191,good,"I think he was first-rate, indeed. I mean obviously the guy's intelligent because he WROTE THE BOOK on Sociology, literally! Good text, great lectures, and like someone else said, he explained things slowly to that we could fully understand the concepts. I suppose that's why he was a little tough on the tests! Good guy though :)"
2591,poor,I hated the class
1375,awesome,"great teacher, great examples, really makes sure you know the material"
2525,good,he's adorable
772,average,Goes on tangents every class and teaches for maybe half the class. Easy to get a good grade but bring entertainment.
1284,awesome,"Such a nice Prof, one of the best classes I have ever take. Drops your lowest test, lowest 2 quizes and a SWA. Readings are really easy and enjoyable. Tests are actually somewhat hard, but as long as you READ the book thoroughly and DO the study guide you will do fine. You can also get 20 pts extra credit from psych studies. Over all awesome Prof."
3003,awesome,He's Beyond Fair.
1514,awful,"guy plops his butt into a chair and writes long winded notes on an overhead all class long, the whole time speaking in this boring monotone. He writes out EVERYTHING he says as in "next... we will be discussing... the use... of the derivative". I completely stopped going to his class, and now sit in on other lectures and use the book."
4171,awful,WORSE TEACHER EVER!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY GMU HAS TEACHERS LIKE HER???AVOID IF YOU CAN!!!YOU WON'T LEARN ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T TEACH ANYTHING SHE HAS HER TA'S DO ALL HER LAME WORK... AND WHEN YOU ASK FOR HELP GUESS WHAT??THEY DON'T CARE!!!
4209,awesome,"Professor Wolf is very clear and tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams ( but a decent amount comes from lab). She could be more concise in the lectures sometimes, but it's bc she want everyone to understand the material. She great if you have questions although you probably won't. Lab is a must. Prof. Wolf is excellent."
498,good,"Not too bad of a class. Wasn't interested in this class at first. Dr. Capelotti seems intimidating at first, but he is a very nice and helpful man. Download notes from Angel, and you'll be okay."
1414,awesome,This teacher rocked. She was very helpful and clear and was always willing to explain stuff further. Her classes were packed with interesting information and she often played film clips to help you understand better. She was nominated for an award cause she rocks.
1234,good,Very hard class to teach...does very well considering
3563,poor,I studied enormously for her class but still got a D :( it is a total gpa killer you need to read meticulously and everything!!! and write down everything that she says as she JUMPS AROUND WITH HER HANDS FLYING!!!!!!
435,awesome,Very interested in helping students learn. Comes to class with a positive attitude everyday. Course material is very clear and grading is fair. Pushes students to think and dance fully every class. Always let the class know when they are doing fantastic :)
1674,awesome,"Such a great professor. Taught the material at good pace and kept the class laughing. Easy to understand teaching method. Incredibly nice and will go out of his way to help you, so long as you ask."
1251,good,"I LOVE TAMMY AND I LOVED THIS CLASS. Spontaneous writing assignments in class that you have to read for, short weekly quizzes for homework, offers TONS of extra credit, makes the class very interesting! Fairly easy exams, minimal effort required... she doesn't post her slides online so you have to go to class (but you'll want to go!)."
365,awesome,"I will forever be in awe of Dr. Molumby. You are seriously missing out if you don't take his 101 course. He is brilliant, helpful and it doesn't hurt that he shares his, in my opinion, obviously correct wordlview with the class. Fours stars, two thumbs up, and all that. PS-go to class and work hard."
1945,awesome,Bio 106 with Goodenough is an easy course. She provides the lecture notes as well as the powerpoint she uses for the whole semester on Moodle. There is homework once a week that takes at most 30 minutes. She is a very nice person and genuinely enjoys teaching the course.
3693,awesome,No Comments
276,average,"His tests are very tricky, watch out!!!"
3130,awful,"I feel the last reviewers. His lectures are very dry, and he doesn't seem to be able to explain the material well. He uses a ""textbook"" that he wrote which is horrible. Mid-term and final exams are based on only one single chapter, so luck is a significant factor. I'd recommend 15-317 instead, which is its alternative for most purposes."
2018,awesome,i advise everyong to take human bio with judy. she is a fanominal teacher and inceradible nice. she's amazing
2653,awful,"She's a horrendous professor and would not be able to teach a fish how to swim, let alone a bright student accounting concepts. Her tests (especially M/C is extremely difficult and un-fair)"
3150,awful,No Comments
1506,awful,"just dont take this class with him. take anybody but him, i hear Calden is very good."
407,good,He's exams are very tricky. Study the old exams and you will be better off.
3221,average,"Very challenging class. Accounting is already a hard subject and Hylton doesn't make it easier. Lectures never helped me. She flies through the material and thinks we know most of it before we start. Recitation helped a little bit, but the connect homework, connect quizzes and studying more than 15 hours for every exam got me a B."
1644,awful,"all he talks about is archimedes, galileo, isaac newton, and isaac barrow. does not teach the material and tests are completely different from what he talks about. this man should be ashamed of himself"
2230,poor,This class is Propaganda Central.
2069,awesome,"very funny, and straight forward."
1924,poor,No Comments
4370,average,I was only in his class for one day so i dunno if hes easy or not.I couldnt be in his class for the rest of the semester. he just jumped into the lecture without explaing just what we would do in the class and I didnt understand what he was talking about. Didnt strike me as an interesting guy.
2899,awesome,"people are complaining how his tests are too specific but how is that bad? His tests are literally word for word from the textbook, and YOU HAVE THE TEXTBOOK! basically you have the answers...so I dont understand how that is a huge ""problem"" for students. Plus, his lectures are interesting and follow the text nicely as well.Do your readings=85%+"
844,awful,He sucks!!! Don't take this course!!
3728,good,"Really nice lady, and over all a pretty good professor. Lectures can get a little boring sometimes. Make sure you show up because we do in-class electronic questions from time to time. Has some pretty gross stories, but its fun to listen if you have a strong stomach. Lab was horrible though, that's the only real downer about Largen."
2044,good,"From what I remember she was very easy, back in the late 90's, so long as you paid attention in class. She has a quirky sense of humor and is a total nerd.. she's awesome. Warning: she talks about certain activities with her husband. Whenever she can, really. It's weird."
86,awesome,attending CS106A online: Mehran Rocks!
3634,good,Had her for lab. Very energetic. Tries to make it understandable. A little gets lost in the accent but good teacher otherwise.
3979,awesome,great class. Make sure on your papers you pick apart what you are analyzing or else she will take off. She is very passionate about the subject which makes the class great.
3707,average,"Would be a good professor if she did not try to trick you with trick questions on quizzes. She asks a true or false question and has A. False and B. True. There is no point to this other than trying to trick the student! I don't get why any professor would do this. Additionally, in a 40 min test period she gives exams with 45 questions."
2238,awful,No Comments
4395,average,"I got an A in the class and never went to over 5 of the lectures. That is because the material on the tests cme directly from the book, not what he taught in class. Just read the book"
1196,awesome,I love this man! He's awesome!
855,poor,"this class is insanely difficult b/c he goes over things way to fast, and fails to explain them unless you constantly ask. It is good cuz no quizzes, which means you dont have to do if you dont want to. Get a tutor and youll be allset."
1878,awesome,"Prof. Whitbourne is great! She uses lecture notes, his lectures are filled w/music, videos & power point slides. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had!!!"
2480,awesome,I have to agree with everyone elses comments about Prof. Browning...especialy the one about him unintentionally running his hands through his hair...lol...Excellent Professor!!
78,awesome,Mehran is a bright and interesting lecturer who keeps his audience in mind. My only criticism is his use of pet phrases (e.g. Rock On) which amuse at first but become tiresome by the 10th lecture.
944,awesome,"My favorite teacher and one of the coolest teachers at West Ga. I got an A out of the class. Come to class, take notes and read the book and you'll pass the class. I would take another one of her classes."
199,average,If you sit from the middle to the back of the lecture hall you won't hear a word he says. The powerpoints are FULL of text and very boring. Lab was also boring and kind of a waste of time. Interesting material if you read it. Tests are composed of material from powerpoints. Go through all slides and old exams to study.
3937,awesome,"I love, love, love her! I took art history 101 just for fun because of her. She is smart as a whip and sassy. Class is fun, but you learn ALOT. Mason better wake up and give her tenure before a wise school sweeps her away; robbing GMU of their best professor. She is so good I may take one of her classes after graduation. Oh, she's pretty cute too!"
3953,awesome,She is the best teacher at mason!!! actually makes art history FUN!!! just take good notes in class and you shouldnt need to buy the book!! (i didnt have one and i got an A) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
801,awful,"Professor Cook is a terrible teacher, and an even worse comedian. The only thing worse than his lessons were his jokes. There was zero learning and zero laughter. I walked into the final exam touting an A average, and failed the exam, which landed me with a final grade of a C. This class was absolutely horrible, and you have no choice but this man."
2846,average,"He wasn't bad at all. We had 3 hours allotted for lecture, he let us go after 2. Marking scheme was good: do better on the next test, that's your course mark, so do the best on your exam, that's your final mark. A lot of memorizing though..."
3511,awesome,"INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! Fondufe genuinely cares for her students and is hands down the most enthusiastic lecturer I have EVER had. Is an easy A? No. You will have to do more than memorize the power points the night before in order to get an A, but it's definitely not impossible! "
4219,good,"She really does try to make the lectures decent. "A" for effort Ms. Wolfe, "A" for effort. But you know it's a lecture(BOOORING). Study for the test. Get a head start on the paper. Go to lecture. Don't break your egg."
2258,awesome,Helpful anytime I needed it. Updates course website frequently. Lectures are structured very well. Perhaps a list of the major points and objectives of the lecture at the beginning would be helpful. Excellent!
231,awful,"To be completely honest, this guy was very tough. Material not that hard, but the way it was tested, pretty tough indeed. Exam questions were pretty hard too. It wasn't about knowing the nature of certain biological concepts, rather, his last sentence on slide 256 of his 3rd powerpoint of the unit."
2005,good,"I loved her!! She is so cute and quirky. Her review sessions prior to exams were also a big help. She also gives extra credit in class, so go!!!"

1033,good,"Randy really is a great teacher. His classes run very smoothly and he tries to make biology as fun and approachable to the students as possible. While his unwillingness to give away answers for any clicker questions and his sometimes vague responses of ""yeah, maybe"" could be frustrating, his methods will grow on you and i very highly recommend him."
3260,awful,This professor is a real shame for George Mason.
2634,good,this class wastes your time- her slides are stolen from the CD and she just reads off the slides every class- and her tests are so much harder than what she actually teaches
1583,awful,"Didn't teach me much, had to learn it on my own, but let's you use book and notes on tests that average 5 to 6 hours long cause you have unlimited time, which you end up using asking yourself, "Where did this come from?""
2665,good,"A more laid back teacher. Overall I liked her, but then I got 100%. People should remember that this is a course where u have to do most of the reading on their own. They can't expect her to teach everything in the textbook in just 2 hours a week."
3971,awesome,Excellent teacher! She made the class fun and enjoyable. The lectures were very clear and she got you involved with the artwork she presented.
2337,good,"Explains concepts well, and the tests are generally pretty straightforward"
424,awesome,"Yummy. He teaches some Animal Behavior classes at Columbia, and let's just say we're very happy to have him here."
392,average,Is a pretty good teacher.
1143,awesome,"He is really great at teaching. He really wants people to do well. The way he teaches is so interesting that i didn't need to read the book at all to do well. He always holds review sessions. He really wants people to understand the material and do well. Quizzes every friday, he drops them if he thinks they're unfair."
4163,average,"She is OK, but the class is horrible. I can't believe I had to waist my money on it. Most of the material is common sense and lectures are super boring. Exams are timed and could be challenging. I'm glad it's over."
191,good,"DECENT PROFESSOR. Study like crazy off the power points and practice exams if you want an a or b in his class. if not, you'll be grateful with a c."
104,awesome,Best Teacher I've Had At Stanford
3499,average,"This class was the death of me for a gen Ed. Fondufe loves biology and is super entergetic for reading PowerPoint slides. Honestly I barely went to class, read the notes or studied and somehow still passed. The test me are very difficult and confusing for an intro course. "
3899,awesome,BEST TEACHER AT MASON. Took it as an elective and I've never enjoyed a class so much. She is very passionate about what she teaches and also very funny! She makes architecture much more interesting =)
1964,awesome,Very informative class to fill a Gen-Ed!
2268,awesome,great prof!
553,awful,"Very arrogant man, which made him unapproachable for help. Screwed us for the final, had his favourites, and stuck his tongue out too dang much during lecture. SO happy when he left"
3829,poor,12/140 People show up to lecture... something wrong there. Especially when you read of the lecture slides.
1948,awesome,"She is absolutely amazing! She's funny and manages to get everyone involved in the lectures, though there are 500 people. Great professor, easy class, would definitely reccommend! "
1459,awful,Terrible Teacher. Decides to teach the last section first just for fun. The only way to keep afloat in this class is to attend another class with a real teacher. The only helpful thing he does is let you use your notes on the tests
1756,average,"took calc in high school, and never went/ go to class and got an A in 127 and will get one in 128... boring class, puts me to sleep, and doesnt explain things well, so i dont go. tests to the point usually."
2529,awesome,beyond awesome
2639,awful,just terrible.....
2179,awful,No Comments
2107,good,Multiple choice exams can be tricky but study and understand the textbook material and you'll be fine. Brym explains things well.
1787,good,"If you do the work, you'll be fine! Take advantage of the extra credit and go to class as long as you can. I missed some Friday classes and had no problem. Use the study guide and lecture notes and you'll do well"
3609,good,She is an excellent professor. she teaches the material very well.She is energetic during class. she is very caring. Go to the review sessions before exams...very helpful.
1587,awful,"This was the worst math professor i've ever had. he was lazy, and didnt give examples in class. instead, he'd sit at an overhead projector and just write paragraphs, and expect us to decipher them. do not take this class with this teacher"
4005,good,"Lyons is a great guy, there's a lot of misconceptions about him. Follow his rules and you'll do fine. There are 2 exams, 1 assignment, and lots of in class hands-on work. Grading is very fair. In this class he teaches you the hands-on offensive/defensive techniques with VMs. Be in class and listen and you will do well."
1731,awful,"He spends entire classes deriving formulas that are in the text already, and spouting off about Leibniz and Newton. Hates cell phones, yet comes to class 10 minutes late EVERY time. Avoid this class at all costs, unless calculus comes easily to you- you will not learn anything!! Seriously, he sucks!"
3587,poor,This class was dreadful to me. I go to class everyday and couldnt get myself to pay attention. Her powerpoint slides made it hard for u to want to pay attention. I didnt even bother. Ah! i hated this class
4365,awesome,"This class is easy. You don't even have to go to class, although I thought his lectures were alright, just read the chapters and go over the terms he gives you. 2 multiple choice tests and a final. He's also really nice."
2884,average,"I took SOC102 and 103. Didn't buy the textbook for either (he assigns books he wrote every year); borrowed it from the library if I felt like going more in depth than what was on the slides. Good course if you like rote memorization. Went to all the lectures for 102, none for 103, only studied before tests, got 78 in both. Easy A with more effort."
3042,good,No Comments
1791,average,"If you are truly interested in taking/majoring psychology, then go right ahead and enroll. If you have no interest whatsoever (such as engineer major or filling in GE requirement), this class will be pretty difficult. I personally found it harder to score higher on her exams compared to those in my engineering major."
2344,good,"He does a great job conveying the material, plus he's a tom jones lookalike."
1940,awesome,"Professor Goodenough is one of the sweetest, most wonderful professor's I've had at UMass. She is literally the storybook grandmother that you wish you had, and just the cutest person in general. I really want to give her a hug whenever I see her. I took her Bio 288 class this semester and it was a breeze. Easy assignments, lots of extra credit."
702,average,She is very nice and very laidback! Most prof. require a 60 pg paper for this course but she just wants u to do a small paper and oral presentation. This professor is a bit unorganized but pay attention to her lectures because whatever she talks about will be on the exams. She will tell u exactly what is on it if you ask her.she lets u out early!
3417,good,She's not that bad. She does go fast but I'll take her over any other accounting teacher. Problem is some of the questions on the test are written differently than how she shows you but still not hard. Just study a chapter a day and you'll be fine.
2186,awful,No Comments
3988,awesome,"I dreaded taking a "fine art" at Mason. I dont like or understand art. But this is a great teacher who is fair, easy, and will get you to understand about art. After the 1st week or two this became my most interesting class. Very real and down to earth, not your stereotypical art teacher."
994,awful,Very condescending and rude if you ask for help outside of class. He expects you to have taken bio previously and fully understand the concepts. Only reason I passed was because I took AP Bio. Not very nice and not very helpful.
464,average,"Took him for 21 & 45. There are a lot of notes but the tests aren't hard if you study. Their multiple choice! 3 exams and a final that's it. if you aren't a good test taker maybe this isn't the class for you. But that's what college is, tests. If you're in college and don't know how to take a test, maybe you should go to community."
2090,good,"His questions on tests are harder than caron's. He's pretty interesting though, and I like his statistics and real life examples; in comparison with caron, who is much more definitionalby the book. I think the two complement each other well. Caron makes things cleareasier as a course coordinator; Brym's lectures are very goodinteresting."
3539,good,"She's easy enough if you go to class and do the study guides (and by that I mean actually do them, not flip through them at the last minute). You don't need the book, she puts her slides on blackboard, and not every iClicker quiz counts. The most annoying thing is the online assignments, which she only announces in class."
3799,average,No Comments
4193,awesome,Go Mason for giving the online lecture option! Web class was fine & Prof is great. Read the slides & go to lab for an easy A in this class. The paper is graded a little harsh but lots of extra credit available to make it up. There were a few exam Q's only in txt book otherwise book not needed too much.
2707,awful,don't ever take his lecture course!!! boring :((
1236,awesome,Profesor Rahhal is really great. Her lecture slides are very easy to follow and she does a good job explaining things. There is homework and some pop quizzes but she gives a ton of extra credit and drops your lowest exam score. She is highly recommended.
3703,awesome,"The best science teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are very clear, she has great relationships with the students and labs aren't terribly hard, just long. Gives 3 tests that are entirely based on her lectures and powerpoints. Professor Largen is also always willing to help and explain difficult concepts, don't be afraid to ask her."
2533,awesome,he was my favourite teacher. I actually paid attention in his lectures
212,awesome,Class was very hard but final wasnt bad and amazing curve. Deff take him
1036,average,"I disliked him at first due to how he jumped straight into deep material on the first day of class, but afterwards I got used to his concept teaching style and was able to pull through. His exams are tough, no doubt, and you better be prepared for a quiz every Friday but most times he's pretty lenient with letting us use notes or discuss it "
4324,poor,"Very nice and sweet. I did not like his teaching method. But everything was out of the book so i still did well. As I said before, he is very nice but I would not recommend him if you are actually trying to learn something"
900,awesome,"AMAZING! I look forward to going to her class. She relates all of our sections with her past life experiences. I love how she gives you the freedom to express yourself and she isn't bias to any opinion. Truly a well-rounded teacher. I highly recommend taking her class! Take notes though, PLEASE. It'll help when it's time for test."
1446,poor,"He is a nice guy, but he's usually late to class. His lecture didn't help me at all. You have to teach yourself. Midterms were awful... I guess he's really smart so he can't understand what and why are we confused about."
4109,awful,"He is one of the most difficult professors. For a first level graduate course, he spent a majority of his time tried to make the topic as difficult as possible. As a working adult paying for the course out of pocket, I found his style better suited to elementary school."
1849,poor,"WAYYY overrated. Bubbly in class, but wont give you the time of day otherwise. Thinks she is better than everyone else. Easy A, but not worth it. Take PSYCH 100 with someone who will actually help you if you need it."
2159,awesome,"WONDERFUL CLASS AND YOU NEVER FEEL HIS BIG CLASSES, VERY PASSIONATE, CAREFUL PROF ABOUT THE STUDENTS,I learned many life lessons from his class, exteremely punctual, organized, kind prof, extermely well presentor, very helpful for ESL students, don't miss his classes I wish I had more classes with him"
2197,awesome,"Dr. Brym is a wonderful prof. He is very interested in his field and gives great lectures. It is very possible to get good grades in his class if you spend sometime studying sociology everyday. If you leave the readings till just before a test, you will either fail or get a bad mark. The tests are a little challenging, but not unfair by any means."
660,good,This class isn't that bad. But it's definately not for someone looking for an easy A. This class is challenging and you have to make sure you do all the work otherwise you will not pass.
1614,awesome,No Comments
741,poor,Cook has been at it a long time and is the definition of old school teaching. I was never great at Calculus so i went to 95% of lectures and still had a lot of trouble with the materiel. Effort outside the class is a necessity to get a good grade.
245,poor,"he think he is darwin or sth,,,clearly he is just focusing on lecture.. he is not willing to help you outside of class for example, not answering email question, during office visit told student look up wikipedia with question... what a awesome bio professor i would try avoid his class his test is tricky too"
3661,average,"I must say, Fondufe's class is good if you A) already know Biology and just need to finish the course or B) enjoy being read to from a textbook. Personally I need an instructor who does a little more than a daily "story time." Sum it up: Boring as all!"
1754,poor,"His tests are more clear than Math 127 tests, kind of a funny teacher, but makes me sleepy."
2029,awesome,"She was part of three teachers that teach the class. She is a small woman, sooo funny. Offers extra credit, test was straight forward. Lectures were entertaining. Puts all lectures, powerpoint slides, and notes online. Just study before the exam and you will do fine. Her classes are funny and entertaining they make you want to go. Awesome woman!"
3161,awful,Extremely difficult class to pass especially with Hylton. She's very rude and talks very fast during lecture. I asked her to repeat something because she spoke too fast and didn't hear what she said and refused to repeat herself. Some professors don't care about the success of their students and hylton is one them. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
1206,awesome,"Hands down the best professor I have had in my 4 years at UMass. Runs help sessions 2 times a week on his own time, gives clearest exams I have taken so far and shows the most genuine interest in his students' learning that I have seen."
509,good,"A little weird at first, but interesting nonetheless. Class is pretty easy if you read the materials and study. Good teacher overall."
3378,awesome,She tells you exactly what will be on exams and is clear when explaining the material. Always willing to help and wants you to succeed. A great professor!
597,awesome,"Great class, though there were a lot of whiny, entitled students in the class. If you argue that Robert Wilson killed Francis Macomber when the omniscient narrator clearly states it was Margot that did it, Everett is going to let you know. He will do that with any interpretation of literature. You have to be persuasive! It is college!"
2178,average,his tests are deadly
3514,good,She loves biology and she is helpful. BUT HER EXAM ARE HARD and very tricky :) You dont need a book everything comes from the slides and her exam questions are developed to confuse you . Not an Easy A . I wished that I took it with Madden :(
4271,average,The test is not to be as long you do the reading. The only problem I have is trying to read the stupid book...They need to get a better textbook....
981,good,All the tests & Friday quizzes are multiple true/false & the discussion assignments are T/F & free response so you have to be able to understand concepts and ideas to do well in his class - not just facts. He goes pretty fast so use a laptop or record it. If you pay attention and go to all SI sessions it's an easy B and a kind of difficult A.
3002,awesome,teaches in a very interesting way
4130,good,"Great instructor, but lots of work. Homework is long, project is unbelievably timeconsuming. Not hard, just takes a lot of time. But he really, really knows his stuff. I learned a lot, but be prepared to put in a lot of time. I'd take him again."
518,good,As long as you read the ANGEL notes you'll be okay.
3306,average,"There are a lot of information you have to know, we covered just about the whole book. The teacher overall is very energetic and loud. She's not a bad teacher but there is just so much she has to cover so read the chapters. Each exam has atleat 3 chapters. Good Luck."
767,good,A good professor who has good intentions. His age does make it a little harder to understand but he knows his stuff and if you aren't retarded you will do fine.
4287,average,"He was there for you if you asked for help and would give out extra credit. His quizzes are pretty easy, but for some reason his exams weren't. I barely showed up for class. Just do his study guides and read the chapters and you will be fine! "
1726,awful,"He is the worst teacher i have ever had. I love math, and i normally understand the concepts in math very well, but he just doesn't know how to teach. he doesn't show you how to apply anything, and what he does teach he teaches in the most round about and confusing way possible. do anything to avoid having him!!"
1651,average,"Confused why everyone is talking about how he makes exams hard.. he doesn't even write the exams, the department does. He even admitted he thought the exam was too hard so he would scale the final grades for our class. caring and knows his stuff, calc can be confusing, not his fault. I skip class at least 2 out of 3 times a week, still manage an A."
2902,average,"Condescending, arrogant, and overall just plain rude. The tests are too specific; some questions are drawn from statistics hidden in the most obscure graphs, which are shown only for a few seconds in lecture. Too much readings for a half year course, and the readings use sociological jargons that was never taught. Overall, don't take this course."
3127,awesome,No Comments
3641,good,She's very entertaining because she likes to jump around a lot. She's very nice and helpful. If you read the book before she does the lecture you will definitely do well on her exams. She uses many analogies to explain the concepts. She gets the questions on her exams from the old exams and from the end of each chapter.
3265,awful,"It's a simple formula to get through this class: 1) Nerves of steel 2) The ability to teach yourself thoroughly 3)Preparation for the worst teacher of your life It's a piece of cake if you can do all those things. Oh yeah, be prepared for point deduction, don't even bother asking why because you won't get a respectable response anyway."
421,awesome,"OUTSTANDING class! His tests are tough, but he gives you the information - just study. Can learn a lot in this class"
123,awesome,"Probably the best teacher i've had since i've been at state. He presents the material in a very interesting way and has some hilarious stories to go along. His classes are usualy not easy, but that's the nature of the course and not his fault."
3263,awful,"Avoid this professor if you:1. dont like to be called during the class (she calls up your name to ask questions if you dont answer, she make you embarrassed) 2. foreigner (she discriminateS students based on their first language)OVERALL, she is the worst professor I have had She does not teach but yell every time in front of you"
4346,poor,i wrote this professor 5 emails and he never responded to any of them. he is unreachable
1244,good,"Amazing professor do the small books readings textbook not necessary but helpful, she gives mini quizzes on readings and if you come to class after an exam expect extra credit, she drops one exam super helpful. Tas helpful as well, would take again"
819,awful,"Awful, Awful teacher. He just puts random examples on the board, solves them himself and doesn't explain how or when to use the equation. Math was always fun and enjoyable for me until this guy. Very unhelpful. Doesn't look at emails. Just don't take 127 with him."
1403,awesome,"tammy is the BEST, she's hilarious, soo smart, very interesting... 4 exams, drops the lowest... no final, the owls are annoying but easy, offers lots of extra credit!"
1382,awesome,"One of the best teachers I have ever encountered in my life. Made everything she talked about seem exciting, and told lots of funny stories. On a side note, the class is pretty easy (and if you do well in the first 3/4 of the class, you dont have to do the rest of it, because of dropping grades), and she's hot."
100,awesome,Good teacher
4126,good,"He knows his stuff really well. You must go to all classes and do the homework. He is clear on what he wants, but he hates slackers. If you slack or skip class, don't take it. Homework is time consuming, and the project is unbelievably time consuming. Be ready to do lots of work."
1575,poor,slept through class more than I went to it...so boring but an 85 is an A so i cant really complain
1638,good,"If you don't mind getting into the actual theory behind basic calculus, Cook is great. He's an older guy, and an old-fashioned lecturer, but I find it charming and refreshing. The exams are easy if you know how to make good use of your calculator, attend class, and follow the text somewhat. I don't know why people are so down on him..."
1795,average,Super nice. Not helpful at all. What she lectures is rarely on test. GET LEARNSMART
4237,awesome,"Her exams are semi-hard, you need to attend class. Her notes are the main key to her exams. Going to lab is helpful b/c of all the quizes given. Do the extra credit, it boosts your grade by a full letter!"
399,awesome,It was a great class all around. The professor was awesome and my TA was the best one I have met at UIC.
3731,good,Do not buy the textbook for the lecture! It wont help you. marginal cost clearly exceeds marginal benefit. the course material is simple. just take the time to go over the power points and study before the exams. Dr. Largen is a sweet person and wants her students to succeed. Recommended.
3782,awesome,"Really easy class. I thought the exams were pretty simple as long as you use the study guide. I never opened the book (in fact, I never bought it) and got an A in the class. The class can sometimes be a bit boring, but she's really sweet and it's really easy."
3873,awesome,"She is a very good professor, would recommend her. Classes are fun but you have to do the reading because she gives pop quizzes. nothing hard. Just read before class, attend class, study from the study guide she provides and you'll get an A."
1352,awesome,"Amazingggg, take this class, you'll actually want to go to it."
4342,awful,teacher SUCKS! hes boring as sh!+ and the lectures are pointless. never take him and switch your major if its sociology
3924,awesome,"This is a hard class! dont think its an easy A, at all!! I found her to be interesting, but the exams are no joke. Go to every class, and write down everything. I mean everything. If you like art, you will enjoy, if not, look else where. She is tough."
982,average,"I had to really work in this class to get the grade I wanted. His exams are difficult with trick questions, so it is easy to get a few wrong. I had to study a ton in this class. I think Randy does care about his students, and even proposed a new grading system, but he definitely makes this intro class very difficult. You also don't need the book."
456,awful,"Well I will start off by saying by the end of the semester more then half of the class will drop this class. test are very hard and not based on the notes given in class or the book. you pretty much have to teach yourself everything. he is not too helpful if you are struggling, he will just suggest you to drop the course... I would not refer."
2748,awful,that a prof this rotten should be teaching such a core course is a disgrace!
3509,good,Prof Fondufe is one of the best professors as Mason in my opinion. She is very passionate about biology and you can tell by her lectures. Your grade will reflect the amount of studying you put in. Everything you need to know are on her powerpoints so buying the book would be a waste. Genuinely love her.
1950,good,"Really easy class if you show up, do the homeworks, and study a bit before the exams. I'm not a science person AT ALL and still managed a 95 average in this class. The concepts you learn are actually really interesting and apply to everyday life and your overall health. Great professor!"
3497,awesome,"She was a wonderful lab instructor, energetic even at 7:30 in the morning! Her lectures were never boring and I honestly learned just as much if not more from her lab class than my bio lecture! "
4169,awesome,"Took the online course with her, class was super easy. Exams were straight from the online powerpoints. Online lectures were only about 1 hour per week (much shorter than a physical class). The exams were multiple choice and very easy!"
641,awesome,"Mr. Everett is a very good teacher. In my opinion, he is too easy for a college professor. But I'm not complaining. He lays everything out in the handbooks and the syllabus which helps a lot. Yes, there is a lot of writing, but its well worth it. If you just do the work on time, you'll pass."
1953,awesome,"I recommend her for junior year writing. It was pretty easy, a few writing assignments each week but they were not difficult. One major project that accounts for 50% of your grade, so just do well on that and you'll get an A"
4028,awesome,He gives you everything you need to get an A. If you are a good student it's a easy class. I don't know what all this crying is about.
3405,good,Challenging professor but she definitely gets you to learn the material well. Read the book and do the practice problems. The study guide book helps a lot for the exams as well.
4195,good,"I took the online lecture with her and it wasn't bad at all. The second exam was a little tricky, but other than that, read the text book, read the slides once to yourself and then listen to the lecture. Material made more sense to me this way. I studied slides and terms for exams and got an A in the class. The paper wasn't too bad either."
3534,good,Reads directly off powerpoints. If you want an A read the chapter and skim the powerpoint before she goes over it. Her lecture is just reading directly off the powerpoint. Exams are very tricky; average is ~65% - no curves but sometimes gives a 2% or 4% boost on each exam. Impossible to get an A! If you want an A; dont take her!!
1884,awesome,No Comments
3699,good,"Professor Largen is such a sweet lady! In my Environmental Science class I didn't get to meet her on a personal level, but she was so willing to help the class with whatever questions we had, and also was so understanding when we had trouble with our TopHat (online questions during lecture). This class is THE BEST for a lab requirement. TAKE IT!"
3176,awful,She is so rude! Worst professor not helpful at all. Ruined my first semester. AVIOD taking her.
2244,awful,"after 2 horrible, stupid tests, i absolutely hate this course. the textbook, which Brym wrote himself, is horribly unclear and unbelievable boring. trying to read it is tedious in itself. listening to his equally unclear lectures is also a pain in da ass"
845,average,extremely boring. I went to only 3 classes but still did fine.
542,average,"Tough class. Quizzes everyday! She is a neat lady, but not a fun teacher."
91,awesome,"I am a computer science student, but do not attend Stanford University. I have seen most of his online lectures on programming methodology and i have been blown away. By far the best professor/instructor/teacher/lecturer i have EVER seen in front of a class doing what they do best."
3172,awful,"You have to teach yourself everything to be honest. She doesn't really go over things in class and if you have questions, she answers them very matter-of-factly as if Accounting comes naturally to you. Spent all semester doing computational problems in class only for the final exam to be conceptually based. GMU's school of business is a mess."
1979,awesome,No need to go to class. Buy the study guide for like 8 bucks and study that before exams and you'll do fine.
2185,poor,"Not a good professor. The multiple choice tests focus on minor detail and do not effectively test a students knowledge. The lectures were not engaging, the professor loses focus easily, the use of TA's was non existent and the prof was not really approchable. Alot of people failed by a marginal percentage."
3164,awesome,"One of the best professors I have had at Mason so far. If you follow her lectures along with the chapters in the book, you will be absolutely fine. Online homework really solidifies the chapters so if you stay on top of your work you'll get a good grade! Her final was really tricky and she focused mainly on the final chapters she taught, good luck!"
2251,good,"Prof. Brym is a great teacher, but what he says in class, you could highlight in your book and take little notes on the side for his "in class" questions on mid-terms. Loved the course, though."
4306,poor,"His lectures had nothing to do with the class, my roommate and I only went to class on days there was a test and still passed."
1048,good,"His class was definitely a challenge at first because he mainly only uses diagrams and true/false questions on his exams. But, by the second month, it turned into one of my favorite classes because his teaching style started to make sense and the class seemed easier. You should attend every class, and he gives weekly, easy Friday quizzes."
1960,good,She is the best! So funny and she does the best demonstrations. Great class.
237,awful,"RUN & DON'T LOOK BACK! Hands down, one of the worst professors I've had in my college career & I wanted so badly to like him. I am not trying to slam the man but I'm just being honest. He gets off on tricking his students...WE GET IT MOLUMBY, YOU'RE THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM, SO ENOUGH WITH THE GAMES AND JUST TEACH US!"
2297,average,"personally, i think hes funny and very knowledgeable... kind of im right but.."
1133,awesome,"awesome guy, class time usually flies by. lots of PRS use to help get points across and definitely keeps students involved. holds lots of review sessions and makes them interesting (talent nights). nothing to complain about except the labs :-X"
1805,good,She's really easy and entertaining. Her notes are fill in the blank and if you miss class you can easily copy them from someone else.
3231,average,"I took this online in 4 weeks for my Business Minor. I spent 4-5 hours a day studying and was really discouraged after I got a D on my midterm. However, she said the final would be counted more if you did well. I ended up with a B. I taught myself a lot and relied on the book. Her ""online lectures"" were useless. Great class, ok professor."
163,awful,He's arrogant. Tests are impossible and ask ridiculous trivial nonsensical questions. Second test was a group test yet I don't know a group who got a 100 (Though most groups got B's and A's). Doesn't know how to teach or how to run a class. Would avoid him as much as possible.
3114,awesome,He is an AMAZING teacher! I had such a hard time in Calc I but with him Calc II was so easy. He is totally open to you coming in for help and he is a really personable guy and loves helping and teaching. One of my favorite prof. by far
2602,poor,"SHE MAKES ME HATE ACCOUNTING FOREVER. Seriously, she looks like she rather stays at home than in class."
2686,awful,No Comments
2483,awesome,He is awesome!
2828,awful,errrrrrrrrrrrr i hate him... he is so rude and makes me want to kill myself...the course was hard and he made it worse
3201,awesome,"Hylton is tough, but is one of the best professors Ive had in college so far, IMO. If u GO to class prepared and put the time into studying, you'll do very well. Use Connect (Learnsmart; homework didn't help me that much) to learnstudy the material, specifically in preparation for the test and you'll do very well. You MUST study for the test. "
1811,good,"Super easy class as long as you do the work. Follow her on twitter, she posts review points that are usually on the test! Always study review points in general, thats where the exam questions come from."
2411,good,decent prof last year i had him and his test wasn't that hard...hope he continues this year :)
3528,awesome,"This class is going to be a little difficult. You will definitely need to put some effort in if you want to get a good, solid A. Study the power points well! The book was never really useful or helpful to me. If you study a lot and really know the material backwards and forwards than a A should be NO PROBLEM."
3759,awesome,"Even if this is a high rating, let me tell you, this class is only for those who want to get the science gen ed out of the way. This class is far too easy, and some of the stuff she teaches is what you have learned in high school. It really helps that she has study guides for you. Absolutely hate the labs, for the workload is completely ridiculous."
2997,awesome,"Amazing Prof! very inspirational. I am sure he has changed thousands of lives for better. People who think he is unorganized, and unclear, are the ones who don't wanna go to lectures. But if you go to lectures, this is the best course ever. He is a special prof, very different... a prof you will remember for the rest of your life --> the BEST!"
2638,awful,"I don't even see why she is in the room, the whole class she just sits there and listen to students present. And when she actually gives a lecture, it's less than 15 mins and she reads off the slides that we printed off the site already. Absolutely useless, overloads of assignments, learn nothing"
4397,awful,Just blabbers on. Very hard to understand. Study guides do not help on exam. Must atten lectures to knows what goes on the exam.
4083,average,I only took this class because I had too. The grading was ridiculous. I think the HW requirements were extreme. And I think its ridiculous to cite the origins of the APA format.
2293,average,100% multi. coice tests - always against the student!
1452,awful,"DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He acts like you are a brilliant mathematician that knows everything at calculus. He stands in front of the work he does on the board so you can't see until he moves onto another problem. He has no clue what is going on, ever. The only way I'm passing right now is because i went to the midterm reviews and tutoring sessions."
593,awful,Worst professor you could ever take.
41,awesome,Awesome
560,average,No Comments
2277,awesome,Managed a 1500 person class well. His knowledge and enthusiasm for sociology was really absorbed by the students.
2357,awesome,"Not the best course coordinator, but an amazing lecturer! He may seem weird the first lecture you have with him but as the semester passes by you'll notice the guy has soo much swag and he really knows his stuff. P.S Watch out for his puns! You may not get the joke but his laugh is really contagious."
243,good,Best teacher at UIC. Period.
1339,awesome,Always does her best to make sure everyone understands the material. Makes the class fun.
2527,good,"I LOVE YOU, SCOTT"
3547,good,"She's very animated and has an entertaining accent. Class was boring (Hard not to be- large class and the fact that it's biology. I'm not a fan of science). Class wasn't too hard though. If you study well, you should get an A. Don't buy the textbook- she provides slides and study guides. You do need an access code and an iclicker, tho."
1442,awful,"He seems like a good mathematician which is probably wh he has the job, but he is terrible as a teacher. He is hard to hear even in the front, hard to understand if you can hear him. He takes no care in helping you. If you ask for help he averts the effort of helping you by trying to give you such a confusing answer that you stress and give up."
261,average,"His tests were hard, but studying his old exams were more helpful then actually studying his powerpoints. It is easy to get a B in his class and hard to get an A. Lastly, he really needs to learn how to use a mic."
3665,awesome,"She is a very good teacher! When signing up for 213, choose her session. It is a difficult subject and you will still have to study a lot but she seems to understand this and makes lectures very clear and to the point. More than likely you will be able to understand her lectures, and in order to get As on the exams all you have to do is study."
1689,awful,"Professor Cook is a terrible teacher, and an even worse comedian. The only thing worse than his lessons were his jokes. There was zero learning and zero laughter. I walked into the final exam touting an A average, and failed the exam, which landed me with a final grade of a C. This class was absolutely horrible, and you have no choice but this man."
1725,poor,"i took calc in hs, and like math, i found the class to be easy, but only cus i had an understanding in calc, i do not recomend cook and from what i heard about the other math teachers i dont recomend them either, cook is boring, old and doesnt teach, wish i could say something good, but nothing comes to mind"
4040,awful,"Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. HW is tedious and irrelevant. I work in the industry, this guy sucks and all of his material is WAY too scattered. Doesn't help students, not sure how he got this job, worst professor at mason by far. Do NOT take him."
834,awful,"This is one of the worst classes i've taken. the concepts would have been easy to understand if he had any clue how to explain them. The material on the tests is so random compared to what he teaches in class. He doesn't prepare you well for the tests at all, and the owls are a pain. Don't take this class unless you absolutley have to."
1866,awesome,"She is so effervescent!Today 1 of her head TAs,Dmitry,taught lecture for an exam review and it was *blah* Within the first 5 minutes he lost everyone & everyone started doing their own thing or dozing off.Made us appreciate Prof Whitbourne a heck of alot more than we normally do!She is a fabulous,knowledgeable lady(w/ lame jokes!) I <3 Whitbourne!"
2010,awesome,"Excellent Teacher, excellent class. Insane amounts of extra credit. USEFUL information for college students (STDs, Birth control, cancer etc.). Fun class to go to, she shows entertaining movie clips and uses props to solidify her points. Dr. Goodenough is the best teacher I could have asked for my first semester at UMass."
340,awesome,"Dr Molumby, if you are reading this, I love you!!!"
1601,awful,No Comments
4132,good,"This class killed my GPA. I am a good student I went to all his classes, paid attention and turned in all assignments. I spent alot of time on his "project" and walked out with a C. I know people who didn't even get that. If you want a tough class/professor look no further, his/he is the hardest one I have come across at GMU so far."
480,average,Professor Capelotti is hilarious! His powerpoints are a little confusing and his tests are hard but he always lets you come to him for help.
3024,average,can be boring and hard to understand. the course isn't as easy as some people say.
4065,awesome,"Best professor I've had at Mason. Yes, he's harder than some but that's only because he actually expects you to work. Go figure! A professor who wants you to actually study...what a concept right? All the people who have rated him badly are either lazy or really stupid."
2361,poor,"Took CHM139 1st semester, passed 1st midterm and decided to drop it as labs were time consuming. Took it again 2nd semester and failed first midterm (evidently harder than other profs). Decided to stick through and did second midterm which was supposedly ""easier"" (quote browning) to compensate for first but format of test was changed (due to strike"
4396,poor,"*DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS* I repeat, *DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS*! Guy is totally whack, I got a C in this course, and two of my other friends took the same class w/ different profs and both got A's. Take O'Toole, I heard she was good. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
1766,awful,i hate calculus..but i guess he knows his stuff..if i went to class i guess that would help...
4186,good,"This was the first online course I took. Ms. Wolf was very engaging by sharing all kinds of various personal anecdotes and experiences. I enjoyed this course despite the grading rubric being a little harsh. Exams are primarily taken from the lecture and the online videos. Lab is almost completely useless, it's more just a point of contact with you."
4001,awful,"This course revolves around a project that makes up the majority of your grade. He provides ZERO instruction or guidance as to what he wants us to do, but expects A-quality work. In addition to that, he is very unapproachable with questions you might have. Lastly, the course is just irrelevant, has no structure, and it just needs to be removed."
2962,good,very interesting professor
3280,poor,"I worked my ass off in this class and still got an F. She obviously undertstands the topics herself, but her ability to relay that information on to her students is abscent. Do not take this teacher."
3066,poor,"I cannot say if Christ will return, yet this man single handedly proves Satan DOES!!!! Take this course if you are a masochist; you will never recover."
1271,good,"Very fun professor - it's tough to get up for a 9am class but she tries to make it enjoyable. Grade is based on 4 exams (one is dropped), easy online quizzes, and in class quizzes based on assigned readings. Does lots of in class activities to make sure the material is understood, which adds a fun element to lecture. I"
3828,awful,"I'll agree with everyone else. No one goes to lecture, thus no one learns anything. Nice lady, kinda dumb, doesnt explain much. Read the book, her study guides suck, not many people do well on her exams. and she class is really early too. Read book"
3832,average,"BORING! She reads off the slides, her exams are tough, AVOID her if you could!"
2398,awesome,"He is an AMAZING guy, with the best teaching abilities in U of T! YES PEOPLE, his tests are hard (I have failed one). However, he challenges your mind and you ability to understand chemistry. If u r used to memorizing equations, don't take his class, but whoever enjoys doing it, I shall prefer it to them!"
347,awesome,Completely unpredictable! Unusual but COOL!
3010,awful,No Comments
4038,average,"Homework is worth 40% of your grade. There are usually only 4 or 5 assignments, so make sure you do them all. Don't leave it to last minute as it will take some time. Attend his lectures and take notes from slides as well. If he asks a question and no one answers it correctly, he'll put it on the final. He's not bad--just difficult to contact him."
3982,awesome,I hated the idea of taking art history. But her class is excellent! She takes a dull subject and makes it fun and interesting. Gives a study guide for the 2 exams.
1423,awesome,"Best professor i've had, my psych class has 500 kids and it still feels like shes teaching me individually..Shes a great professor, very very helpfull..I got alot out of the class."
4081,awesome,"He does have an abrasive personality, but did you pay to be babysat or did you pay to learn something? He certainly knows his stuff, leave the dignity and pride elsewhere and it can be entertaining. He rarely smiles and always wears sunglasses...even when dark. He gives good analogies where needed and teaches only what needs to be taught, no fluff."
2102,awesome,very organized and an overall good professor
632,awful,As far as teaching goes he does not stay on topic most of the time and starts talking about things that have nothing to do with British Literature. He grades harshly while putting students down indirectly in class. For everyone out there never take a class with him cause he is unprofessional. Dont make the same mistake I made.
2494,awesome,"Browning is amazing...The world still makes sense for crying out loud! He's an excellent prof, really clear and he makes sense...looks like George McFly at the end of Back to the Future, it's kind of funny."
3502,good,"Her voice makes you want to pay attention to the material. It's obvious she loves biology and really tries to make you like it. Her test are really hard though. She does give out study guides but they're so long. You need to study like 2 weeks before the exam. Always do the homework online, you can fail every test and still pass if you do the hw!"
2570,awful,One of the worst profs I have ever had She should be teaching high school instead of a class in an MBA program. Rotman should be ashamed that she is still there inspite of the horrible reviews over the years.
2798,good,A good fellow with a very bad handwriting. Can't type his lectures.
1465,average,"I was really nervous for this class-math is NOT my strong subject at all. Rudvalis can at times be confusing with his explanations, but at other times he's explaining is helpful. He is extremely fair when it comes to homework and tests. He gives many review sessions and additional opportunities to complete h.w. He's understanding; not arrogant."
4339,awesome,my favorite teacher!! he's the best
115,awesome,Mehran rocks my socks off.
3972,awesome,Great just go to class and talk with her and you will be in
1494,average,"this guy is alright, might be a little crazy, but so are the best of us"
1232,poor,BORING!!!
2229,awful,"In a word........BAD! Avoid is course at all possible costs! If in his course, avoid life sucking lectures."
1153,awesome,"Great professor, great guy. Take this class with him."
3026,awesome,LOVED the class. Great experience. Cares alot about students...
57,awesome,Mehran is awesome! 106A is awesome. Take the class!!!
3448,average,I wouldn't recomend this teacher. I imagine you could find a more relaxed professor.
4348,awesome,"dr dennis is a great professor, he really knows what he is talking about. his lectures are somewhat boring, but once you get used to his style of lecture, it's all good. and always do the study guides before exams cuz that's practically the exam right there. and his laugh is so hilarous! i reccomend taking him. =D"
1735,awful,"the worst teacher ever, who cares about how the formulas were developed.. TEACH US HOW TO USE THEM! dont take this class if you cant teach yourself some pretty difficult math"
3495,average,"Awesome professor. You need to study but lectures are clear and to the point. She is the best at Mason. Take her if you want a good grade, but pay attention and do hw. Don't skip class. Most profs. at Mason can't teach, but she can. If you want to pass take her, very energetic, makes you learn. PowerPoint are very helpful too. TAKE HER."
3300,poor,"Hylton treats students like children, constantly yelling at them to put their feet down or put their phones away. Not a good teacher, and I got screwed by having a bad TA as well. Tests are heavy on material and very tricky. It is possible to get a decent grade, but be prepared to do a ton of studying."
3688,awesome,"Dr. Fondufe was a great professor - very clear lectures and notes, given with enthusiam. Tests were not difficult if you went over the detailed study guides...take her for biology if you can! Willing to help during office hours and is very understanding."
707,awesome,"This lady is a nutjob but in the good sense. Caring, funny, sweet, she's the best. Made the enviroment comfortable and tried to get everyone involved. If she teaches any other course in the future, I won't doubt to take her class..."
1093,awesome,He is smart and funny.
4309,average,"Honestly he is the NICEST professor ever, you have to go to class for the journal, 3 tests, 3 quizzes and thats basically it. very easy class, NEED THE BOOK! his lectures are pointless and are not tested on, everything tested on comes from the book, the journal is the only reason you have to go to class; he's so nice though! and old haha"
1376,awesome,LOVED THIS CLASS! Prof. Rahhal is amazing. It's very easy to get an A. The class is fun and interesting...I actually wanted to go to this class and it left me wanting to know more about psych..definitly recommend it
72,awesome,"He is one of the best professor i have ever seen in my life . His teaching is simply awesome. The way he explained each and every concept is excellent . I completed the entire CS106A lectures in two days .He knows how to attract students certainly not by giving em chocolates but through his teaching skills .. I love Mr.Sahami, you changed my life."
1922,awesome,"She made Psych 100, has a lot of fun, I recommend her to anyone!"
2460,average,"Tries too hard to be funny, really not that hilarious. Acts like an awkward teenager, maybe never grew out of it. The test was way too hard, half the class failed! Doesn't use time in class wisely, instead of cracking 'jokes', should've been giving out examples to clarify the concepts."
1764,poor,No Comments
743,poor,"If you didn't take calculus in high school, like I didn't, you're gonna have a hard time. He only teaches the basic principles, and the exams are much more complicated. The homework is all online, but his lectures are almost 2 weeks behind the homework due dates. If I wanted to teach myself calculus, I would have taken it online."
2867,awesome,"The best prof I've had at UofT! Very funny and his passion for sociology really shows in his lectures. Really made sociology interesting. I only went to class to see him, the tests come from the readings so you can skip &still pass as long as you do the readings. I wish Dr. Tepperman could teach all my courses! DO YOUR READINGS and you'll do well"
1005,average,He gives unclear answers when going over questions so you are left wondering what the right answer is. The comments he makes in class and comments he puts on slides when they are uploaded can be contradictory. Makes you think in depth about problems.
1190,awesome,Great prep. for the MCAT! Uses ingenious problem-based learning and makes you apply all your knowledge. Wants students to get the "whole picture" and genuinely wants you to learn and understand! An outstanding professor.
1125,average,"AMAZING PROFESSOR! He has a bad case of ADD, and he goes on MANY tangents. He often doesn't tell you the answers to questions because his point is to let you think about the question itself. Basically the same stuff is covered day after day after day, but if you miss a day, you're screwed because you never know what was discussed the day before."
1241,awesome,"This professor brings the field of psychology to life. There is a lot of reading and you certainly won't pass if you skip lecture, but she makes it worth it. You'll be excited to go to her lectures, even if you didn't have a prior interest in psychology."
2211,awesome,Excellent proffessor. A leader in his field.
2678,average,"The lectures are too easy. (Of course, the tests are not!)"
998,awesome,"Awesome class, great professor. As long as you focus on what he says during lectures, it's pretty clear cut. He's very conceptual and teaches you the concept, expecting you to be able to apply them. His exams are mostly true or false questions and can be tricky, but if you look over the lecture slides a few times, it's not hard."
1577,awful,I HATE THIS MAN WITH A FIERY PASSION. He's one of the only 2 people on the planet that I hate. Don't take a class with him. Chances are you won't learn anything and you'll have to take it over.
4214,average,She is so sensitive. Do not bother her. She is not happy about teaching. I think she is fired.
1826,good,"She is a great professor. Her test are really easy and her homework, which is a quiz, on spark are easy as well. you get to chance to to take it and if don't do good the first time you can redo it. The second time it's the same question so you can look at the answer from the 1st attempt and pass it. Overall a very good professor"
4380,poor,"I read all the chapters, went to EVERY class, and sat in the front row despite how BORING they were. His tests have multiple correct answers but you are expected to know the "more correct" answer which is b.s. and he knows it. he needs to go back to vcu/vdu."
4389,awesome,"yeah, i don't agree with most of these people who rated on here--although he may not have a very interesting lecture class, as long as you read the book and listen to what he emphasises in class, YOU WILL DO WELL!! plus, he allows a lot of extra credit!!!"
2752,awful,"stopped recording lectures, couldn't bear to listen to him twice...worst prof.."
440,awesome,"He was a great instructor, and increased my interest in dance. He's got a great personality, and makes you happy to be in class...he's also really fair at grading and understanding as a person."
1100,awesome,"Best professor I've ever had inspired me to be extremly interested in biology. takes time out of his schedule to help students. GO TO REVIEW SESSION he has reviews every thursday, go and learn. great sense of humor, can go fast at times. he really is an amazing teacher, uses a different style than normal I really liked it. great professor!!!"
2369,awesome,"Teaches a bit slow at times and by doing so, he does a very good job of explaining concepts. Pretty funny professor overall even though he makes the occasional lame joke. Very helpful and approachable if you need extra help or have general questions. He's a jolly person who makes learning orgo interesting. "
649,awesome,"Before taking Mr. Everett's class, I couldn't stand reading and I couldn't write a decent paper. He taught me how to write well and appreciate reading. I loved that class! He knows what he's talking about and is eager to help when you need it. Awesome class...even better teacher!! Thanks Mr. Everett!"
1546,awful,"This teacher sucks. All of the bad things mentioned about this dude are true. You can skip all the lectures and teach yourself the material and will be set for the tests. Just attend the review sessions they are helpful, but this professor makes it very hard to get out of bed in the morning. I do not recommend this prof."
2754,awful,"just try listening to him and not fall asleep, horrible prof!"
2471,average,"anyone who gives him a pepper has obviously not seen him close up. he knows that his students like him, and is thus waaayyyy to conceited about it. however, he was an okay prof. to bad his ego is larger than the class."
630,good,"He's enthusiastic about the subject matter, and he definetely puts an importance on the history of the subjects we cover. This is a sophomore English class, and he grades like he means it. Not a class for someone who isn't willing to work for a good grade, but not impossible to get an A."
672,awesome,No Comments
1249,awesome,"If you're looking for a pass/fail class, take this. I'm sure it's an easy A if you're taking it for a grade too. But Professor Rahhal is very nice and interacts with her students in a fun way. Lectures weren't boring and there are 6 pop quizzes throughout the year so you kinda have to go just incase it's a quiz day."
482,good,"I love Capelotti. He's a great professor. He keeps you interested with jokes, but still teaches with them. Gives extra credit. tests are a little difficult, but if you do the study guide and read you can't fail. plus, he's pretty good looking."
1584,average,Hard Class. I have no clue what is going on. Pretty helful and I wouldnt say he is rude. The class is calculus its hard....
4045,poor,Lyons is unprofessional as a Security head & professor. His homeowrks/quizzes/exams either A)Confuses students or B)Make you loose points unwantedly! Ridiculous amounts of homework & writing that will make you go nuts! Exams are difficult as Lyons wants you to fail hard and avoid the security concent. Also mocks you & your questions when asked.
1462,awful,Terrible teacher. Tough to ask questions when he shoves it in your face that your a moron.The only way i passed the class was by going to the calc help center. If you get him as an instructor i highly advise you to switch. Professor McGibbon is a much better teacher of Calc 2
3049,good,"If you listen in class, do your work, and have half a brain, you'll do fine in Moylan's class. Many of my classmates were whiny pre-med students who wanted to learn ONLY what's on the exams and nothing more. If you're so lazy and want everything spelled out and spoon fed to you, why the hell did you apply to Stanford??? A's are EARNED,you whiners!"
3653,good,"Very enthusiastic teacher, wants you to do well. I recommend her to anyone taking a biology class. Her tests are really easy if you just study the notes. I wish she would teach all the bio classes."
49,awesome,"Mehran is the best. He makes CS approachable for beginners, and his lectures are awesome and are full of funny jokes and candies."
3449,awesome,she is very energetic.....
4384,poor,"This teacher is confusing at times, but he gives out review sheets that cover pretty much everything that will be on his exams. Study for his final!!! The review sheet he gives for the final has nothing to do with the actual final exam...very confusing..."
858,awful,"He is a very nice person but this class is rediculously hard, especially if you've never taken calc before. The tests are impossible and his lectures are all over the place."
1072,average,"He has a different style of teaching that takes a few weeks to get the hang of. His lectures are pretty confusing, but reading the book helped me a ton in understanding the material and getting good grades on his exams. Just don't slack off and you should be fine."
719,good,She is the absolute best teacher. Definetely take her Interpersonal Communications class!!!! I took this class Friday mornings and every week we had great discussions. Its alot of fun.:)
2542,awesome,very good
1660,average,Goes on tangents every class and teaches for maybe half the class. Easy to get a good grade but bring entertainment.
1656,poor,very boring and not clear. did not fare well in his class
2743,awesome,First U of T course where I was supposed to use my brain *no pun intended*.
3352,poor,"Very tough, very fast, very smart. she knows the material so well it's hard for her to comprehend that we might be learning at a snail's pace while she teaches at a rabbit's pace."
4376,average,"Yeah the tests are multiple choice but rather challenging for something like Sociology. They are almost 100% OUT OF THE BOOK, so unless you want an A+ don't waste your time attending his every lecture, sitting in front, and taking notes. The book, on the other hand, is actually a pretty good read."
2572,poor,Class is interactive. But provides ZERO help outside of class. Never replies to email and TA replies to email 3 weeks later regarding your questions. Grades take forever to come back.
3796,average,"Class is way too easy. You don't have to attend class at all, and labs are a pain in the ass, but definitely an easy A!"
4182,awful,"It's an online class, meaning lectures are online but lab is still in the classroom. She has a monotone voice on the online classes which makes her very boring. Her tests are hard, and ridicously wordy. She tries to make it seem that just because she has a PhD in MGMT that it should be a hard class -- she comes off as rude and her TA's are morons."
3210,good,She is a good teacher and the class isn't that hard. She even allows the second exam score to count for the first if it helps your grade. Lectures feel short because she's good at teaching. Going to lecture isn't that important but lab helps a lot.
1385,awesome,"Tammy is AWESOME!!! I never skipped this class. She was able to make people want to participate in a 300 person lecture, that's how good she is. Tells cute stories about her twins. Very clear about material. Encourages questions. Lots of extra credit and ways to get a good grade. Definitely A+!"
4145,average,"This professor was funny, but enjoys making smart ass comments to some valid questions. Tests are do-able if you study, but the project is ridiculous for an introduction to cryptonography."
1399,average,No Comments
1195,awful,One of the worst instructors ever.
1408,awesome,aw shes such an awesome teacher. she's sooo clear and understandle and FUN. the classes are so interesting!!! she has made me want to change my major to psychology! take her class for sure.
2974,awesome,The class was interesting although lots to remember and the prof is awesome!!!
1798,awful,"You need to come to class to watch all of the videos and understand the notes that you are taking. Everything that she says to study is barely on her exams. You need to read her huge textbook. Shes nice, but shes not helpful. Her TAs do all the work for her, and aren't helpful either. Not many people get over a 70 on exams"
1475,awful,"It's really too bad: the professor seems like a cool enough guy, but he's just a horrible teacher. I did well in this class, but only thanks to the online homeworks and the textbook. Lectures are boring and confusing, exams are impossible. So be ready to basically teach yourself math."
2495,awesome,Browning kicks ass though his tests are to easy. But any thing else... anyone who disagrees are probably those medschool clowns who don't want to learn anything.
35,poor,"As much as I was interested in this class before taking it,my motivation for it steadily declined as it progressed.She has the ability to turn interesting topics into boring ones and does not allow anything outside of her rules.Grading is very unfair and she shouldnt teach undergraduate courses because she doesnt know how to deal with young people."
3041,good,Very interesting and entertaining teaching style
2464,good,"He makes his lectures interesting and fun! However, the material he covers in lectures are way too basic...his tests are harder than what he teaches. Great guy but not so great of a prof."
2206,poor,man he's tough!!!
2924,awful,"God I hated this class. I don't think this guy said more than 10 words in a single lecture, other than the lecture where he WASTED our time irrelevently talking about HIS research. Very arrogant and rude. In a course which lasted 3 months, 2.5 of those months were spent on student presentations. I wish I never paid to take this class."
1286,awesome,"Really decent overall teacher. She's good at engaging the class with all of her personal anecdotes, psych exercises, and videos, making this class very enjoyable. Attendance is mandatory with the SWAs, which aren't too bad. The exams are harder than you'd expect, so definitely take time to study. Take advantage of psych studies for extra credit."
349,average,good professor but hard. his lectures are A LOT more interesting than Murray's. His tests are so hard though..he will purposefully fail the entire class on the first exam to scare u into coming to all lectures and READING the book! his second exam and quizzes dont get much easier. so you need to study a lot..it helps if you have old exams to study
3365,poor,"A very unpleasant personality: abrupt, sarcastic, and a sharp voice. Read the txtbk, GET THE STUDY GUIDE, and go to recitation and you should be able to skip the lect and get a good grade. Do attend last class b4 final to find out what's on final. Sadly, she's the only prof for this class, so grin and bare it."
2829,awful,"He routinely yells at students who ask questions and doesn't seem to care if anyone understands him or not. In four years of university, this is by far the worst professor I have ever had, and I cannot think of a worse person to be in such a prominent position at a leading university."
1681,poor,"By all accounts, an awful professor. He's very unclear, and his jokes probably got old around the dawn of indoor plumbing. Run while you can."
1443,awesome,"His lectures might be hard to follow at times because he assumes the students are smart enough to follow. He knows his stuff very well, and he is happily willing to explain everything of a complicated problem in great details. OVERALL he is a very nice professor, but too bad he is retiring after this semester."
2520,awesome,He's so cute when he blushes!!!
1671,average,"Great Guy, but its hard to understand what he is teaching; he goes off tangents and talks about the history of the math than actually teaching us how to do it. If you get Felipe as TA, it is HIGHLY recommended that you go to his SI sessions, especially 2 or 1 days before an exam. It really helps since he hands out review/exam guides."
1179,average,This professor was very nice but beware- his exams were very TRICKY! He put questions on there to trick people a lot. He also didnt always explain concepts very well.
3269,awful,"Hylton does not deserve to be a paid professor at Mason, nor does she deserve the title of being a professor at all. She is a condescending individual who barely comprehends the material herself and should not have the authority to teach it. She makes inaccurate accusations of students cheating and reports them to the honor committee."
3729,awesome,"Shes a pretty great proffessor. The lectures arn't entirely neccesary, but class is ussually fairly enjoyable because Kim really loves the subject and her class"
2810,awful,"Worst Stats prof ever, wont answer questions and refuses to help. changed to the evening section With Brenner and my mark went up 30% Brenner BTW is awesome, take his secthin not mcdonnough"
1916,good,"She has tons of extra credit, which is nice. The tests arent hard, just study. Everything is very clear."
1357,awesome,SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD! she's the most amazing prof ever
1825,good,"I love her, the class was pretty easy, her approach to the class was fun , she is very excited to get the material out,the time is a pain in the ass but you don't need to show up most of the time."
786,awesome,"Such a great professor. Taught the material at good pace and kept the class laughing. Easy to understand teaching method. Incredibly nice and will go out of his way to help you, so long as you ask."
469,average,"He's a good teacher, but he doesn't help you prepare for exams. He makes class kind of interesting. There are no study guides, and his test averages are low."
140,awesome,Good humor! Hard but fair!
788,average,"really nice guy. willing to help if you ask. a little out of his element as far as technology goes, but actually cares about his students."
323,awesome,The class was pretty easy. Reading the book and attending lecture helped alot. The sample exams really gave you an idea of what was on the exam. Labs were kind of too easy though. Prof kept my attention- good lecturer.
4201,awesome,She is the best professor.
714,awesome,"wonderful, wonderful professor :)"
3815,good,"Not an easy A but a likely B. Definately way easier than any other science gen ed. Look on the power points to see if there's an in class activity, if there isn't... go back to bed, you'll thank yourself later. The material is so easy yet she'll trick you on tests but she's nice otherwise."
4235,poor,Oh she is horrible. She would not give me 0.8% to pass the class....so b/c of that I have to retake it and repay for it. She is soo unapproachable and very confussing! I wish there were more MGMT prof's...b/c then I would not have taken her. And yes her exams are hard. Good luck!
3694,awesome,"Dr. Largen is an extremely passionate professor. She obviously knows what she's talking about and is genuinely interested in it as well. The class was easy, but I'm also an environmental studies major. All you have to do is take notes on the power points and review the ""quiz"" questions and you should get an A on the tests."
4199,good,"The tests are easy, there is one paper, and tons of extra credit. Go to lab, take the online quizes, and watch the lecture. An 'A' is not difficult to get."
3256,awful,"One of the worst professors I have ever had at George Mason. She knows nothing. If you don't understand and ask her, she even makes fun of you. She judges students based on her feeling. No grading scale on assignments."
406,awesome,No Comments
2614,awful,"For those who haven't taken accounting - this class is hell! She explains nothing and tests are retarded and have nothing to do with the text book or lectures! Terrible prof. From the other hand - if you've taken accounting before, don't go to class and you'll be fine. Class is only frying up your brain. Do past tests and you might survive."
1004,poor,loves trick questions
890,good,"Doesnt prepare you for the tests well, but they arnt made by him..."
2673,awful,the worse teacher ever!!! she has such an annoying voice. she blabbers about irrelevant topics. she regurgitates the textbook. her tests are out of nowhere!!! do not take this course!! i stopped going to classes and just taught myself (& did better).
3195,good,"Guys, it's an accounting class. I took Professor Hylton's online course over the summer and was honestly lost until she posted her own lectures. She's very straight forward with the study guides and it helps immensely if you listen to the subtle hints in her lectures. I'd take her again- she's great at explaining the material!!"
3559,average,She's the chillest teacher ive had so far. mad upbeat. dont bother with the book bc u wont need it. powerpoints will do just fine. study for the tests tho. and do the study guides.
3013,awesome,"A lot of people complaining about the course don't realize that virology IS a lot of information - period! He made the subject very interesting, he works with the students at their levels, is available for help anytime, all the time. This course was a great experience. He's not unorganized either. Highly recommended, but be prepared for the volume."
303,good,"This class honestly was the only class I actually enjoyed this semester. I enjoyed his lectures and his metal references(and cob shirts). His tests were pretty much impossible, even when I studied I received a B, but I feel like I've learned a lot from this class. I liked him! If you want an A though, you need to study for the tests HARD."
3857,awesome,"Lisa is phenomenal. By far one of the best professors I've taken while at GMU. She is inspirational, hilarious, down to earth and just an overall knowledgeable teacher. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone, regardless of major. She makes the lectures fun and her tests aren't too difficult if you take notes. TAKE HER, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!"
2909,awesome,"It has been my experience that with Tepperman, you will receive awesome amounts of attention and useful help if you are genuinely: hard working, interested, outgoing and mature. He is available and supportive if you properly take advantage of him as the professor he is."
664,awesome,"He will teach you everything about grammar, then expect you to know it. If you just want an easy English credit, this is not the class for you. If you've wondered how to use a comma and feel like learning to write coherently, he's good for that. He WILL keep you to the end of the class and ramble a bit when trying to answer a question, though."
1177,awesome,"Two words. THE MAN. He has no name other than that. Truly a God in a man's diguise. I hear his tests suck, though."
1947,good,"Relatively easy class, but tests can get decently challenging. "
3562,poor,"She was not a very good professor. She was very energetic, but not clear on her pronunciation. She was hard to follow and her tests were very difficult."
2132,awesome,"I actually really liked Brym. I found him interesting and his teaching style is very straightforward. I became interested in Sociology because of him, so I worked hard and got a good mark in this course. If you go to all the lectures, do your reading and study you'll be fine."
3477,good,This class covers a lot of material but is enjoyable. To study it's really important you split the content into several days rather than crash the night before. I pretty much memorized the lecture slides and got A's on all her exams. I clickers were easy points and usually occur at the end of each chapter. Put in the work and the grade will follow.
961,awesome,Extremely chill. Fun and cool.
2009,awesome,"Great professor. For such a huge lecture group she offers a lot to make it possible for all to succeed. Material interesting and useful, especially for college students. I only wish she was more aggressive with shutting up the kids that wouldn't stop talking during lecture."
2149,awesome,"A bit tough, but do it right and you're gonna be OK. Go through the readings carefully, a lot of the questions are on specific details."
2696,average,He's my homeboy!!... very knowledgeable prof and the teaching style is perfect for 3rd year course. I recommend you to take this class!!...
3015,good,"I enjoyed this course. It's possible to do well with minimal effort. It's only 2 hours/week and tests are short and multiple choice. On top of that, he automatically adds 5% to all term tests. Also, the material he teaches is useful in the real world like learning about West Nile, SARS, HIV, etc."
304,awesome,"I recieved a C in Dr. Molumby's class, but he was a pretty decent teacher. I agree the antedotal lectures are fun when you are there, however not when it comes to the final grade. Exams are hard, Labs are easy and so are the problem sets. He is a really nice guy though"
3970,awesome,"Loves what she teaches, tries to make it fun for all. Work load isnt too heavy, the study guides she gives out for tests tell you everything that might show up on exams. Some don't need the book, but I bought it and it really comes in handy to look stuff up."
1496,good,"Rudvalis is a nice guy. I can understand people's comments about his "long-winded notes," but I found them helpful. You really don't even need to go to the class if you're that frustrated with his teaching style. All his examples are straight from the text. If you are having trouble, see him at office hours and he'll teach you one on one."
916,awesome,THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! I ABSOUTELY LOVE HER !
3290,awful,"STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!! SHE IS HORRIBLE, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT STUDENTS, DOES NOT TEACH AT ALL, I'M A 4.0 STUDENT, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE $1000 ON THIS CLASS, TAKE IT W/ KITCHING OR EVEN BAKER, ANYONE IS BETTER THAN HER!"
3416,good,"Very harsh and stern. also, a tough grader. I changed 3 answers on my scantron, and the machine picked up the wrong answers. when i brought this to her attention, she accused me of cheating!"
1624,awful,"He doesn't teach anything in class don't even bother going. all online homework, completely useless teaching, doesn't help AT ALL. STAY AWAY"
2977,awesome,best professor ever. just that simple.
821,poor,"This teacher is terrible. He's a good guy, and wants everyone to do well, but his lectures are completely useless. It's hard to get an A because his exams only contain 14 questions meaning you can only afford to get one wrong on each exam. His final was nothing like he said it would be. Most questions we had never even seen before. TERRIBLE."
4157,average,No Comments
1354,awesome,BEST CLASS AT UMASS..its easy its interesting the lectures are actually fun ant tammy is amazing! TAKE THIS CLASS
3825,average,Easy class but very boring lectures. Just read the notes online and study the questions on the CD she get alot of exam questions from there.
3883,awesome,Best professor ever! so down to earth and enjoyable to listen to. I had no interest in art prior to this class but she made it so fun and enjoyable. Definitely have to study to get a good grade but she gives you a study guide. Most tests are written and she's very fair when she grades those so it's easy to get an A
1000,good,He's such a nice guy but his tests are difficult with a lot of true/false and he uses a RIDICULOUS amount of diagrams in class. He uses the iClicker and has (pop?) quizzes on Friday but sometimes allows group quizzes (depending on how much you push him).
18,awesome,"Good teacher. Not too hard to figure out what her politics are, but she grades fair. Kind of tough, but she gets a lot more laid back in upper level classes."
1637,poor,"Cook is a nice and funny guy, but his teaching can come up a little short. Goes off on tangents frequently and explains things a little more difficult than they have to be. I thought the material would be super easy since the first thing we did was antiderivatives for a good 2 weeks, but then ramped it up and it got very hard. The TA taught better."
1667,awful,"He is by FAR the WORST professor in UMASS. His lectures are very unorganized, so it's hard to take notes in class. He has no information about the class posted on his site. He is not clear in his lectures. If it wasn't a required course, I would avoid him."
493,awful,this teacher is horible... he stands in front of class and talks for an hour and lookes up at the end of class and asks if anyone has questions and then doesent answer them... he told a student who had a low D that he shouldent drop the corse (this is a few days b4 the late drop period) and said he would be fine... THE FAILED HIM! DONT TAKE HIM!!!!
3200,poor,Im a transfer student and my last college accounting class was great (nd its rated lower than GMU business) compare to her lessons. She goes all over the place to explain the simplest thing. Tbh i would transfer back after a month being her class.
3554,awesome,"Dr. Fondufe was very approachable and a great teacher. Beware, her tests are very difficult. You will need to know the powerpoints inside and out, and be able to explain the concepts taught very well."
687,awesome,"Dr. Sacher is a really sweet, funny woman. This class was very easy, requiring just one big paper, 10 weekly 1 page journals, and a final presentation. Much of the course is based on dialogue, which sometimes turns it into a therapy session for some people, but overall, I would take a class with Dr. Sacher in a heart beat."
2897,awesome,"Really great, thorough prof. He definitely challenges his students with his tests, but his lectures are really clear, and he explains concepts well. He has a good sense of humour, and throws jokes in now and then to keep class fun. I've taken two classes with Tepperman."
1608,poor,"rude, unclear, boring, pony tail......"
3166,average,"Intense lectures. Need to do homework and quizzes to actually learn and practice ideas. Not a bad class, curves final grade."
2644,average,"Lectures are very boring, since she justs reads from the slides. Final exam was impossible."
1009,good,"Prof. Phillis' class was challenging yet rewarding. He cares more about how biological systems work over straight-up vocabulary. This is reflected in weekly quizzes and the exams, but go to lecture because he doesn't teach out of the textbook and gives iClicker questions to help. If you go to his review sessions and tot SI, you will be successful."
4031,average,"Hard class, at least one exam is very hard. Homework 2 is tough. Lecture slides are very good. Be timely and work hard and you have nothing to worry about. I did very well. Does curve so that is nice. Big issues with ML is that he is disconnected from students and students feel very intimidated and tense. He was helpful to me when I made an error."
1327,awesome,"Tammy is a good prof. her classes are pretty interesting, you can buy the older editions of the textbooks to save money, attendance isn't required but there are random writing assignments assigned in class. Exams are hard but overall good class"
1677,awful,Prof is a nice guy but he shouldn't be teaching. His teaching style is random and he does a horrible job of actually explaining the material. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND DROP THIS CLASS ASAP OR ELSE YOUR GONNA SUFFER THROUGH THE SEMESTER
1999,awesome,"I loved her. She is so entertaining, which is hard in a class of 500. You don't need the book (which she wrote!) and you don't need to to come to class. But I've gone to every single class because she's so interesting and I love the subject matter. Makes me want to go into biology."
