CollegeNot a very nice guy
THIS PROFESSOR DOWN CURVES. Did very well on all of the assignments, but then they graded the final paper VERY harshly. Even if you finish with an A raw score, he will down-curve so beware. Boring lectures & attendance not mandatory. Take at your own risk
Masterson is great, his lectures were engaging and even if you missed a few you had access to the material so that you didn't fall behind. The grade is just 3 response papers that you can complete on your own time and the final paper, along with an easy map quiz. Overall, great class.
Prof. Masterson was able to cover a lot of interesting things about MENA. There are 3 response papers (on assigned readings) that can be done whenever within the 10 weeks. No midterm or final, however, there is 1 final research paper, and Eli Review was used to collab with your peers on topic proposal and assistance. He is well-traveled and kind.
