Comment:

She's proud of what she teaches and is an amazing person, but she is a little disorganized. I learned a lot in her class and she covers lots of material. A lot of people stopped coming to her class but this class needed participation so you could understand discussions. There is no final or midterm. You self evaluate yourself in the end.

If you're interested in learning about History than she is a great choice. She's definitely passionate about her job. Although, at times she'll get to talkin and won't stop, all you can do is listen because it's all insightful information.

Comment:

Very disorganized and behind on grading. However, Profesor Mayasa cares a lot about her students and the history of the world. You will leave her course likely knowing more than you've ever learned within K-12 all within one term. She asks what grade you believe you deserve. Some extra credit opportunities. She does yell but with a good meaning!

Comment:

Professor Mayasa is truely passionate however she is immensely repetitive during lectures. She is also unorganized and lacks time management skills. Assignments aren't graded throughout the semester. Major grades are comprised of group assignments. The criterion isn't clear either. She means well but is scattered and it shows in her teaching style.

Comment:

This Prof has a lot of important information & you will actually learn a lot if you pay attention to her lectures and attend outside events. All she really wants is for students to build a better understanding of the subject, but the criteria for your grade is REALLY confusing. She is a bit of a scatter brain & doesn't follow through.

Comment:

Professor Mayasa is a very passionate teacher and a genuinely nice person. However, her lectures and overall class structure are very disorganized. Lots of group projects. You wont know your grade until its posted on e-grades. She would often show up to class 20 mins late, which was frustrating.

Comment:

She is very disorganized. Very slow with grading. Doesn't even grade if I'm being honest. Lectures can be interesting. The work you do kinda feels like its pointless. She will ask what grade you believe you deserve before the course ends. If you are reasonable with the responses for the grade you deserve, she will give it to you.

Comment:

Professor Mayasa is such a good lecturer and is super interesting, however, her class lacks structure. She doesn't really update grades that often so you really don't know what your grade is until the end of the semester. Never assigns homework but, you have to participate in the class projects so you can get credit.

Comment:

Class is good and she teaches very well, but she is very unorganized. It almost doesn't seem to matter what you do all semester since at the end of the semester she makes you grade yourself and gives you that grade. I did all the homework and studied for the tests and ended up receiving the same grade as someone who didn't do anything. Easy A

Comment:

Professor Mayasa initially impressed me with her lectures. After the first few weeks though, her and her lectures became fatigued, and her notes disorganized. The largest issue was that the midterm and the final that my class received had very few questions that had to do with the information she had provided us with throughout the semester.

Comment:

I could listen to her lecture all day long ! You will gain so much knowledge from any of her classes. You will know the questions that need to be asked when you leave her class. She really fights for her students to be great and She has inspired me in so many ways. Thank you Mayasa for being the amazing professor that you're!

She's so passionate about what she teaches! She goes into detail about everything. When asked a simple "yes or no" question, she goes on and on for a good five minutes. Her lectures are all over the place and messy. Easy grader though and classes aren't boring. She's really down to earth.

Overall, she's a great professor who is obviously very passionate about what she teaches. The books were "mandatory" but we hardly used them, plus the books are available in the library for free. She wants you to actually learn & not just memorize dates and events. She offers extra credit. Get ready to do group projects

Mrs. Mayasa really cares about her students. Her teaching style is like no other but she teaches in a way that makes you think critically of the world around us. I actually loved her lecture because you can see how passionate she is. This class is very laid back so if you need a very structured professor dont take this class. Participation matters!

Comment:

Whenever a student did not understand the question she was asking she would just stare at them and repeat the phrase over and over. As if saying it multiple times might make the student understand. When students told her they needed help or had a question she simply refused to answer.

She is very disorganized I would not recommend her not take her again. If she likes you, you will pass easily, if not, your screwed. I think it was so bad they took the class away. This is the first class especially history that i have ever not wanted to show up on time every class.
