Reviews of professor Zachary Mahafza

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class is an easy A. The tests are open notes, so if you show up to class and take notes you will do well. He gives a lot of chances for extra credit. There isn't a lot of homework. The lectures are not the most interesting but they are good enough.

His class format (during COVID) was on youtube and very weird. Had a hard time accessing him for questions. Midterm and final only, both open note and only about 25-30 questions. The tests were not easy. Keep up with tophat!!

Isn't nice, doesn't seem like he cares for the well being of his students, doesn't respond to emails and if he does he is rude about it, not a good communicator (never knew what i was really supposed to be doing). Only grades were tests (open note and open book but very difficult) and pack back questions. Overall, not an enjoyable class at all.

says "hooray" all the time. repeatedly makes fun of himself and/or his predicaments. He created a YouTube channel of his lectures for covid so check those out to get a taste of his teaching style. easy A

Dr. Mahafza is a great professor. I took his government class online due to COVID but he made it so simple. He does a good job explaining each topic in his videos & he gave us open note/ open book tests with 5 hours to complete 25 questions. He also gives a TON of extra credit & is very nice and caring. Definitely take him if you get the chance.

Take as your social science core credit!! I took it online and it was such a great and straightforward class, you just take notes on the lectures posted and get graded on a few exams, which are multiple-choice and open note. If you take good notes you will get an A in this class no problem. He also gives multiple extra credit opportunities.

Zachary was a pleasure to have as a professor, and I ended up with an 102 in his class. There was a lot of extra credit, and the exams were not difficult if you watch the lectures. Watching the lectures does get a bit tedious at times, so I recommend taking notes or setting aside some time to really focus in and listen. He's great.
