Prof Mastel is the best ones in Baruch. Easy teacher,if you do all his HW you will be fine. He just only cancelled 2 of his classes. Everything is so funny w/ him, a lot of jokes which makes the class very pleasant. Please take him if you want a good easy grade.

If you don't get an A in this class, you suck at life, seriously. You don't learn all that much, but the class is never boring. More like a buddy than a professor. He only cancelled one class. 10 NYT article reviews, a paragraph each. Midterm and final are super easy.

The guy below with the bad rating took a different class. It wasn't a pub class, it was a paf class. Please pay attention. You can't comment on what a class did or not do when you are in a different class. I was also in the paf class and it was cancelled a lot.

***This is continued from the comment below, read the one below first*** I'd definitely call him a jerk to his face. All teachers have different styles, his style is he wants to make it interesting but you will do the work.All 10 ny times articles have to be done and if you *&^ around on your project u get called outside and he'll let u have i

First of all I want to say this is the best teacher i've ever had. He really works hard to make the class fun and interesting. He puts in extra work to customize the sides and make all he teaches practical so we can see how it relates to today. People like the guy who wrote that rating get me really sick if i knew who that was---------

Comment:

Such a waste. Yes, his classes are easy but SPA has better professors. He waste the class time cracking jokes or he cancels the class. To protect his record, he'll make you come to class, take attendance, then say go home. He did that like 10 times and one day he had a "date" to go to. I like easy classes but don't waste my time with stupidity.

Comment:

Terrific guy- Really funny. Ends class early. Grades on a curve. Is the easiest grader ever. You'd have to really screw up to get less than a B. Not too challenging but you learn a lot. i don't recommend working too hard on the assignments or presentation since you'll probably get an A anyway.

Very organized professor. His class is very interesting. I got into the habbit of reading the NY times :) very funny and knows what he's talking about. You will learn a lot in his class and the group presentation is excellent for speech practice and get a chance to teach the class. 9.9/10
