One of the best teachers you will ever have. Enjoyable class atmosphere. This is not a class that you can just go to classes and do well. Need to study to get a B though.

Dr. Masterson was extremely helpful and he is a very kind person. He talks about his family all the time and has an awesome heart, he explains things well, but you definitely have to keep up and do your share of work.

He is an amazing professor. Very clear and very helpful. He is also understanding of personal situations. I had to have surgery for appendicitis and I missed an exam and he still let me make it up. I learned a ton from him.

First off He is a great, funny guy. Tests are extremely fair. Presents material in a clear, understandable manner. Second, This class is no where near hard let alone compariable to a graduate level course. at least for a BIO/CHM major. want a 4.0 GPA be a HSC major.

Comment:

This class is difficult! Three lecture exams are given, which are tough. You must go to lecture, take notes, pay attention, and study to do well! Dr M rocks though, he breaks things down so they are easier to understand. He is also funny, so it will keep you interested.I recomend taking it with him

This class is a lot of work, and there is just a little to much to do when you have a full class load. If you work really hard you could pull off a decent grade in the class

A lot of work but if you go to open labs and all the lectures you will do fine. Hard grade but is also very interesting. Good sense of humor too.

THEE standard for all CMU profs!!! Go to EVERY lecture, take notes (directly in to Study Guide, NO PAPER), study JUST the notes, and get 100%. No exam surprises. ALL DIRECTLY FROM STUDY GUIDE!!! WRITE ALL NOTES DIRECTLY INTO YOUR STUDY GUIDE IN LECTURE RIGHT FROM THE START! OPEN LAB CRITICAL!

I love Dr. M, I had him for both 214 and 411, and I've never learned so much since I've been in college. He teaches in multiple ways so that all students are able to learn. He let's you know what is important to know and keeps you highly interested.

He has a great personality, he seems like a real person, not just a professor. He answers all questions during lecture, and never makes anyone feel stupid, or hurries them. His class is fun and easy as it could be.

He is a good teacher and does what he can with the class. If you dont study you wont do to good in the class, it requires lots of studying. but is flexable with tests and quizes. One lecture you have attend is the reproductive, its the funnest lecture

Loved this class. Tough, lots of study time will get you through. He is very fun in lecture and also if he teaches the labs. Very personable and will help you any way he can. I want him to teach more of my required courses!
