ENGL103A . Maslan M J 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Prof. Maslan is a good professor and makes it very clear what you need to do. His lectures can be very long and a bit dry but you have to pay attention to them as the final and midterm are almost completely based on the lecture. If you pay attention and review his slides, however, they are super easy and almost a guaranteed A as long as you review

Extremely dull, overly wordy to the point of having to decipher everything he says, and overall I just dread going to his class. The quarter isn't over but I can already tell I will remember absolutely nothing from this class a month after finishing it. It's just one of those classes...

Despite his averse teaching style I actually thoroughly enjoyed his class. I hated that the midterm and final were in-person written exams, but I appreciated him giving us a clear expectation for what was going to be on it and what he wanted from it. He posts PowerPoints but they aren't too helpful unless you're reviewing. GO TO LECTURE!!!

Really nice guy, very nerdy and passionate about the material. Readings were short and generally interesting. Chill class and I really enjoyed the lectures. Would recommend!

He's a nice guy, but it is week 7 of the quarter and none of my work has been graded. I have no idea how I'm doing in the class and the drop date has already passed.

Took him during lockdown, and I ended up dropping the English major after 2 years. He made class dreadful, as he went MIA for 4 weeks and expected us to write short essay responses for the final on material we should've covered during those 4 weeks but didn't until one week before the final. Worst teacher I've ever had.
