Comment:

Took Prof. McGraw for World Mythology. He is a good teacher. His class is more based on the psychology behind the myths. Some lectures were boring, but most of them were entertaining. In my class, there were so many good debates between students, which made the class more interesting. There are 3 exams and around 10 in-class assignments.

Comment:

Probably should have gotten an A. But this stuff doesn't really interest me & I missed a few classes. Take good notes, read the book before lectures, do the study guides, and attend the classes. No reason for anyone not to get an A.

Good teacher. Took me forever to figure out when he writes TG he is actually writing "The" on the board. DON'T SKIP A CLASS THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OR HE WILL DROP YOU AND GIVE AWAY YOUR SPOT

Comment:

This guy is a great professor. Writes a little sloppy, but a minor speed-bump for an easy class to pass. Open note exams, however the downside (as he mentions) is the time constraint. One of those, smiles while speaking people. You'll see what I mean. Highly recommended. Gl, hf.

Comment:

I took him for summer school and managed to escape with a C, but that's due to my laziness and absences. He makes Humanities really interesting and 90% of the time he's always smiling and telling stories which is AWESOME! Very friendly, and easy to approach, most helpful. I would definitely take this teacher again if I had the chance. Easy teacher.

He is one of my favorite teachers, if not my favorite. I also took his intro to philosophy. He is really smart and gives great lectures. I took his summer class. It was 3 hours long 4 days a week. Yet I was never bored. Take him.

Comment:

Took this class during SUMMER SCHOOL. McGraw is a good teacher. His lectures are simple. But when he writes on the board, it's really hard to understand. He grades on IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS and TESTS. The tests were OPEN NOTES. So it was easy. Attendance is mandatory if you want his notes (which are on the tests). Overall, GOOD teacher.

Comment:

He has a great personality. He never comes to class with any less enthusiasm than a kid on his birthday, ok, a little exaggeration there, but he is awesome. You can use any notes you write or type up, plus you are given study guides. He makes you think alot too. I recommend this class.

AWESOME, this class was hands down the best class I have ever taken in college. He is very down to earth and passionate about the subject. He brings in a person from each religion to speak. The reading is very interesting and simple, the tests are very fair, It would be great if every single college student took this class!!!

This is just an awesome professor, he keeps lectures extremely interesting AND entertaining. His exams are honest and reflect the lectures and main points that he spends so much time illustrating. He is also very knowledgeable about different perspectives and loves to help you decide what it is you personally believe.

This teacher makes a seemingly boring or hard class very interesting. He is very enthusiastic and cares about his students learning the material. As long as you pay attention in class, you'll get a good grade.
