Comment:

Has difficulty with teaching lecture, as well as not being able to write notes clearly or in an ordered format for students to read or understand. It was easy because we had to write essays, but it was difficult to learn the information because we were unable to rely on the vague notes she gave. You probably wont miss much if you dont go class.

Comment:

Easiest world civ 2 class ever. No finals, tests or quizzes. You are only graded by the three 4-page essays, and the recitation class. Essays are turned in to recitation leaders, not teacher. Don't go to class... can pass without reading too much too.

Comment:

Prof. Mazon is a weak lecturer. She constantly says "um" and at the end of the lecture, I don't even know what we learned, so feel free to skip Mon and Wed. Her readings are pretty bad, but you really don't need to actually do them. Grading isn't tough, but pay attention to your grammar. She's a nice lady, but the class really wasn't great.

I've taken multiple classes with Professor Mazon. I think she's a fair grader and her teaching style is not facts/dates, rather the big idea. She takes getting use to, but is a kind lady and enjoyable to talk one on one with.

Comment:

Worst teacher I've ever had, at any level of school, ever. Aside from the stuttering, mindless rabble that comes from her mouth when you ask a question, I learned more from the other STUDENTS than I learned from her. You've been warned.

Comment:

I've taken more than one class with her. If you get one her good side you'll be golden. She hates when people ask questions. She does get frazzled (a lot) but she is very knowledgeable . If you can get past how often she says "um..well...uh" you will be just fine. Her grading is pretty easy too

Comment:

I've taken practically all of Mazon's classes. People get annoyed because she sometimes gets frazzled and says "um," but that shouldn't matter. She's a really great teacher. She assigns interesting readings and gives you all the tools you need to do well.

Comment:

Worst teacher I've ever had. She has no public speaking skills. Doesn't use powerpoint. She gets confused when ever you ask her a question. She says umm in every sentence. She makes you read terrible books and write essays about them with unfair grading policies. Only one test which was at the end consisting of 25 multiple choice.

Comment:

At first I thought Mazon would be nice until she covered for my TA who had to take exams. She asked a question and I answered her, but it probably wasn't the answer she was looking for, but I'm not sure because she didn't really tell me if it was wrong? Very confusing. I stopped going to lecture and just get the notes from my TA.

Comment:

She is literally the most boring prof I have ever had. Questions disturb her already incomprehensible flow and we must break for 5 minutes every time one is asked -including what was the last line since her handwriting and level of paper wasting is ridiculous. Take a different section of world civ. 2 if you can!!

Its good to know that a prof with no redeeming qualities whatsoever can just go sue SUNY and get the tenure they didn't deserve in the first place.

Comment:

Avoid this professor at all costs. To tell the truth, if you're a good student, and you can write well, it will be easy to do well in this class- but you will learn little. You'd learn more from Wikipedia than from lecture. Assigned texts were only tangentially related to history. Grading policies are bizarre. Lectures are simplistic.

Comment:

The absolute worst teacher i have ever had. She cant speak well at all, and uses ummm and ahhhh like 400 times a class. She grades punctuation more than the content of the essay. Her test is very easy if you go to the classes, which is the hard part cause there so boring. Im a history major and i found this class awful. Teach somewhere else please.

Comment:

This lady is insane. She is rude and aloof and obviously couldn't care less about her undergraduate classes. I feel bad for the graders for having to work with her. She cancels class all the time, but like 5 minutes before so everyone still shows up. Don't expect compassion from her either.

Comment:

Horrible Class. I took this class because I had a strong interest in the topic. I would have learned more if I would have gone to the Holocaust Museum in DC. Terrible lectures, unorganized, ill informed, changes mind frequently, wastes class time, inconsistent grading policy. Class is to large for the topic trying to be taught.

Her class is the worst class that I ever took. She does not know what she talks about in the lecture. She speaks something else and something else is on the exam. Just 19 multiple choice questions. Disgusting ..Never take this class.

Comment:

before i got to the class, i read the comments on Mazon, and they were all bad. after the first 2 classes i knew why. shes pretty frazzled, her notes are unorganized and thoroughly uninteresting. she says "uh" and "umm" no less than 200 times per class, meaning her lectures are slow going. on top of that, its a Jewish history class, not Holocaust..

absolutely the worst teacher EVER. she says "um" way too much and has no idea what she wants to teach. no one shows up to lectures, they are pointless. i would never take her again and wouldn't suggest her.

Comment:

Not the worst teacher I have ever had but certainly not the best. The book she had us read were pretty interesting but discussions could be very tidious. She is really strick on grammar and can be pretty unclear with what she wants from you when it comes to the final paper. She is not overly helpful during her office hours either.
