He was actually a good professor and kinda funny but his class was so boring that I stopped going. I was also falling asleep every class. Even though he only gives you 2 skip days and you lose points everyday you missed. His class wasn't hard. If I would've went, I would've passed.

This class was very enjoyable. A lot of student's did not show up for class, but as long as you put in the necessary work, your grade will be fine. 10/10 recommend.

Comment:

He's a really nice guy, and I get this is his first time teaching the class. But he ignores all of our emails asking for help/clarification and doesn't explain projects clearly AT ALL. Nearing the end of the semester and I personally have no idea what we are doing in class and what the end goal is when it comes to producing any of these projects.

He really cares about his students, you don't really need to buy any textbooks but I will warn you if you aren't interested in writing papers don't take his class, he assigns projects as 4-6 page papers which aren't necessarily hard at all, and most you usually have an option on what you want to write about. But he is a really sweet guy, great prof

Honestly, he's one of the best professors I've ever had. He's super chill and is always willing to help you out. He isn't strict with grading either, but going to class is important if you want to know what's going on. Definitely an easy class.

By far one of the best educators I have come in contact with. He is very passionate about what he teaches and genuinely wants you to become a better writer. He is very active in social justice matters and will definitely make you state your opinion, but he won't shut you down. I am very grateful for having taken his class.

An all around amazing professor. He really loves what he does and loves is students. No textbook, and the papers were super easy. I couldn't make it to the last week of class and I got an A-. Show up, listen, and write the papers.

Mahoney is great. Have him for a class about activism and writing, and it is super fun. He is hilarious during class and you can tell he really cares about the students. He gives fun assignments and is super reasonable with his grading. You would be wise to take him!

Professor Mahoney is great and extremely easy. Essays are done in sections so it makes it less overwhelming. He loves blogging and politics. In one essay we got to write about our journey to KU and another was about our generation so it was interesting. He goes around the room and lets you read your writing. I recommend taking him!

Awesome prof! Takes interest in his students, gives lots of feedback on papers. Shows a different style of writing (blogging and informal writing), class is really based around politics and writing about them. Do not take if you're not interested in politics, you'll struggle a bit. Really great prof and awesome dude.

Comment:

Did not require a textbook, so that's a huge plus. He really does care about his students. He talks A LOT and may be a little too into politics (most assignments involve that) but his class is really laid back. He even brought us snacks at the end of the year. Always helpful and although the assignments require a bit of work he is an easy grader.

Professor Mahoney is really a great Prof. At first he seems a little out there and I felt that he was never going to grade any work that we had completed. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great teach, highly recommend him for Freshman!

I was put into his class first semester freshmen year and I couldn't have been more happier. Amazing professor and amazing person. He is very helpful, easy, and understanding. He does the circle method where you read your papers out loud but it was helpful. Would definitely take this professor again

Comment:

This guy is probably the reason that I chose Professional Writing/English as my subject of study. He's INCREDIBLY down to earth. Also not too much older than us, so he is very relatable. As long as you put forth effort and show up to class, he will grade accordingly, and ultimately, help you enjoy writing more. Great guy.
