Reviews of professor John McMahon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's an incredibly understanding man and is very accommodating to all his students. He's cheerful and its easy to talk to him or ask questions. Unfortunately, his readings are fairly hard to understand and he does not provide adequate background on the topics beforehand which leads to confusing and extremely slow class conversations .

John is clearly very well-informed! I have so much respect for him and I think he does a great job teaching the materials at hand. There is quite a bit of reading for this course, but if youre interested in political ideologies, youll be fine. Just apply yourself and put your best effort in and youll do fine.

John is a very nice person, and extremely caring. He truly cares about student success both in and out of class. Be sure you do the required readings, and discussions, or else your grade will TANK. Also be sure to do the essays, as they are another bulk of the grade. Overall, very nice person, and very good prof! Highly recommended.

McMahon is the most underrated professor. He is by far the most caring, and genuinely tries his best to understand his students and make them feel comfortable. He gives great feedback on essays, and is very thorough with lecture.

John was okay. The class consisted of 3 essays in which he grades very hard. I got As in all of my eng 101 papers and never above a B+ on any of his even though I went to him with drafts and asked for feedback. He was fine and very nice though.
