Reviews of professor Matthew Massaia

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took him for Art & Craft of Writing. He's a very good teacher, a sweet person, and meticulous. We would read assigned readings and complete writing prompts. We also had discussions for both. Discussions came to a halt in March when everything switched to online because of COVID-19. Just complete everything in time and you'll be fine.

Just make sure you submit all the assignments on time and go to class. Easy A! However, he rarely replies your email.

Prof Massaia is a very understanding person. I took him for A&C of Writing and he assigned many readings but eventually cut them down. There are two 10+ page papers due in his class that you work on each week. Class is very discussion-based which I typically enjoy but I found the discussions particularly mundane. The assigned texts were very boring

This professor is the most friendliest, coolest, humble, down to earth professor I have had so far. He is very passionate and he loves what he does. He just wants everyone to improve and have fun in class. Participation and attendance in this class is key!! Always do the small little essays he assigns and there you got yourself an easy A!

I had him this semester for Mod Con 1, and I really liked him. He assigns a lot of readings, but they are not too bad. Hes really flexible for essay writing and was flexible during online classes. Take him if you like to participate in lectures!

This class requires participation but he won't pressure you into saying anything. There is homework every week but sometime he pushes back due dates. He answers his emails and always tries to clarify and questions.
