Comment:
Kenneth Mason is one of the wost professors I had to work with. He has sarcastic jokes that are not funny, and he is not clear about the material and switches terms around saying it is simply because "We are biologists and that's just what we like to do". That's a terrible answer. The exams are hard and the HW amount is not that much helpful either

Worst class I took at Purdue. Nearly impossible to get a hold of if you have a question. Class is so large he wouldn't know you from Adam and Eve. Very disappointed.

Comment:
Dr. Mason's exams are based on the lectures, so go to class and take good notes. Use the previous exams that he posts on web CT - they help you focus on what to study. Don't forget to study for the recitation quizes. You have to do okay on these to do well in the class.

It's a good thing you can replace your worst exam grade with the final. It gets easier in the end.

Comment:
I didn't use my book at all. He records all his lectures. He bases the exams off of lecture focus questions that he gives the answers to. He's pretty cocky but not the worst you could get.

Comment:
Decent professor. Keeps lecture interesting. A lot of folks consider him arrogant, but I didn't notice too much. Course isn't very difficult, just look over the notes and skip as few of the classes as possible. Helps to have a friend to alternate days, so that you won't need to go to every lecture.
