Comment:

I had Prof Mazurek for history, love the subject but wasnt a huge fan of him. Notes were difficult to take as he would get sidetracked by another history topic. As long as you read the text youll be fine. The essays werent that difficult if you took the time to just read the text and take notice to the headings and what not.

Comment:

He was probably the worst professor that i have ever taken. I ended up dropping the course. He pretty much just talks to himself up at the board and expects you to know what he's talking about. Has a very short temper. Homework every week is about 4-6 pages of essays. I definitely do not recommend taking him at all!

Comment:

Professor Mazurek was the most challenging professor I've ever had, but I learned so much in his class. He's not there to hold your hand, it's your grade to earn. Take lots of notes, get ready to work hard. I still utilize my notes from his class in my current studies.

Comment:

Mazurek is super old and sometimes hard to understand. He has been teaching the class for a really long time, and gets frustrated with lazy/inattentive student. If you show him that you care and that you're doing the work, you will get an A. I worked extremely hard for my A, but it was worth it and I learned a ton.

Comment:

Prof. Mazurek makes it very clear about the assignments that will be due, which really only includes a 3-6 page paper weekly. He isn't a tough grader, and I found him hilarious. Lectures often, and doesn't baby you through the material, you're in college now. Don't give him a poor review just because you didn't feel like doing the work!

Dropped the class immediately. Very very hard to understand, jumps all over the place and requires a 3 page paper written every weekend to be handed in on Monday. Also, he does not let students leave the room-even to use the bathroom.

Comment:

I'm in his class right now writing his review. Everything out of his mouth is impossible to understand. He slurs and sometimes spits when he talks. Nothing makes sense and he loves to scream, shout, and sometimes slam things. He also has no idea how to use a smart board. He just slaps it over and over again. Funny class, but you might not learn.

Comment:

Mazurek is not like most teachers. His grading system is ridiculous! Very rude at times. Very long lectures. He decides when class ends. Jumps from topic to topic. Very opinionated and is sometimes wrong. You can be 30 mins late to class, he doesn't care. NO TESTS! Do the work and you'll pass. I would definitely take his class b/c its easy to pass.

Comment:

Only take him if you are a hard worker, like to write, and have thick-skin. If you write at a college-level, and are conscientious, he will love you, and you will do well. However, he has little to no patience, lacks a social filter, and sometimes yells and punches things. Yet, he is extremely knowledgeable, and you can learn a lot from him.

He's very rude when you ask for help. I didn't understand how to take the first exam, because the module was locked and he responded with " its not my fault you don't know how to use technology". He was very sarcastic and degrading.

Comment:

He does make us write a lot but you don't need to be specific. I summarized straight from the book and was getting b's. He does use the same phrases over and over again to, which gets annoying. Overall a good class, you will laugh at him alot with the class and he will think hes doing it, priceless. Can be 30 min late as long as you do your hw

Mazurek has a good heart, but he's a bad teacher. Smart as all hell (he's a lawyer) but if you don't have a knack for history you'll fall behind quick. Each hw assignment is at least 4 pages (once a week). 3 exams all semester (each around 10 pages). he lets you hand in late hw any time through the course, which is nice (and saved my grade lol)

Comment:

Awful teaching aside, he's just a downright condescending and bigoted person. He often puts down student's opinions, beliefs, and even ethnic backgrounds. Easy work, just loads of it. By the end of the semester we probably wrote 70 pages. While I passed the class just fine, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

If you like writing, take this class. It is an easy A, no doubt, if you are willing to do the work. His entire class is based around 12 weekly homework assignments that consist of 2 or 3 essay questions to answer. Also, 3 "exams" will be given out. These are take home papers that are 10ish pages. No tests ever! lots of writing, easy a if you do it
