Reviews of professor James McNamara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor McNamara is an amazing professor. He is clearly very motivated and interested in the material and loves to teach. He is very great at answering questions and caring for students! 96 is a tough class but honestly so enjoyable! Take his classes!

96 was my favorite class I have taken. It was definitely challenging  the papers are graded harshly and you are warned many times that you may not do as well as you are used to  but the content is great and McNamara is wonderful as well. He makes an effort to be accessible, his lectures are thorough, interesting and clear, and overall a 10/10!!

Professor McNamara is easily one of my favorite professors I've ever had the joy to learn from. He is enthused in the curriculum he teaches and truly cares about his students well being and adaptability. He takes the time to make sure his students are happy and absorbing his knowledge.The only downside is the TA's grade harshly. Awesome guy!

Very knowledgeable. Lectures have all the materials you need for writing papers, which is basically all your grade consists of. He posted slides/lecture notes which kind of made going to lecture unnecessary, even though he was a good lecturer. Very tough grader -- he wanted us to get better as the papers went on, but seemed a bit unfair sometimes.
