Reviews of professor Scott Makstenieks

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Scott is a cool dude, but DO NOT take him for an hour and 20 minutes. He drags on and on and on and on. Waste of time, 50 mins will do just fine.

Professor Makstenieks is the best English teacher I have had. He understands the difficulties students face, and his set-up for class is clear and organized. Makstenieks is so caring and wants all of his students to succeed. HIGHLY recommend taking him for communications. Not much homework and as long as you put effort you will get a good grade!

He is a very friendly guy! He told us to call him Scott because of his last name. Although some lectures went on a little too long, he made sure we knew our stuff and did a great job with feedback on speeches. By the way, there are only four, with plenty of guidance!

Scott is great. I loved this class. He made me want to change my minor to communications. He is funny and puts in the effort to get to know his students. His lectures are very interesting. Highly recommend!

His class is pretty good, however he is a hard grader considering the course level. There are only a few speeches so it is vital you do good on them to receive a good grade in the course. He always seems to find new things to critique but gives a lot of feedback. Do not expect to get an easy A; if you want it, you are going to have to work for it.

Scott is one of my favorite professors. He truly cares about his students. This class has 2 speeches, 2 take home exams, and a group presentation. As someone who hates public speaking, the speeches weren't too bad because he let us have a sheet of paper to refer to. Overall, I recommend this class and Scott as a professor.

Very nice guy and explain things well. He uses lots of real-world examples to relate to the content we were learning about. Very reasonable grader! Very approachable especially when you need help! Made difficult topics easy to understand. Would recommend!

Scotty Mak is one of my favorite professors of all time. I took his argumentation class and I actually had fun in it. He does have a lot of readings and D2L posts, and sometimes the lectures can get long. But he is super funny and genuinely cares about his students. I would highly recommend him.

Such a kind soul. Never felt nervous submitting papers or doing speeches. Included everyone and made sure to converse with those speakings. Felt heard when I spoke. I have a notes app list of wack discussions we had (including a pickle on a ceiling). Wish I had more classes with him.
