ENGL103A . Maslan M J 2 Years 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

103A . Maslan M J 2 Years Ago

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...

ENGL132PR . Maslan M J 2 Years Ago

Maslan is a really nice guy and good prof. Your final grade is based on a bunch of forums which are each worth 10-20%. If you do well on the first few, he'll keep giving you good grades. The reading is the hardest part of the class because he expects you to have read the whole book before the first class on it and it's easy to fall behind.

ENGL . Maslan M J 2 Years Ago

ENGL132WD; We were consistently one week behind schedule. The material covered was incredibly engaging, but because of the limited time and disorganization, much of the assigned readings would go undiscussed, and assignments would frequently be omitted as a result. Professor is brilliant and hilarious, but unorganized.

103A . Maslan M J 3 Years Ago

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!
