Reviews of professor Maxim Samson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you have the opportunity to take him, I highly encourage you to do so. His class opened my mind to so many different perspectives and he is really knowledgeable on the subject to where he can tie in daily life and current news to what we are studying. Not only that but he is super understanding and helpful. If you love yourself take his class.

Dr. Samson is a very intelligent professor. I gained a lot of knoweldge in his classes on globalization and religious geography. You have weekly discussion posts, group presentation, quizzes and papers. He is always willing to help you with the papers and gives great feedback. Take him if you want an interesting class that is not too difficult.

This was a good class to take. Professor Samson had everything in his rubric and the class is very engaging. Even though he wasn't too hard on attendance, I would try to attend all classes so that you don't miss any material. He is very good and attentive when it comes to emails. I would recommend this professor and class.

I took HON 110 with Professor Samson, this Discover class was very good and super interesting! He is a really engaging professor, his lectures are really interesting and the group work really guided the lessons along. I definitely recommend him, it is a fairly easy class with a reading and discussion post every week, one paper, and a video diary.

Very kind professor. Only two papers, weekly discussion posts, and attendance were required throughout the whole course. Didn't grade too harshly

Prof. Samson made a topic that I knew nothing about, the most interesting class I had. He makes jokes, talks about being English often, and knows how to engage the class. You will read and do a discussion post every weekend, and three papers, one that will be revised. Participation really matters.

Prof Samson is such a wonderful guy! He really cares about the subject but understands that not everyone is a geography nerd and tries to gear the class around topics that appeal to everyone through the lens of the class. Lots of reading but assignment guidelines are always clear.
