Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great professor, very interesting class and topics. Well constructed.

He posts the slides after lecture, but don't expect to get everything from the slides he posts. The homework is usually watching a 20min show and answering questions, but he does care about being specific. Lab is really not that hard, the reports might be repetitive but they're easy. It's forensics, there's a lab involved, please know how to act.

Great professor for labs, horrible at lectures. The lectures given were way too long and too wordy. Study guides for tests only given a couple days prior to test date. Class averages were terrible.

He is a difficult grader, would nit pick at little stuff you miss on your reports. Lecture was also boring, but I did do well on my exams. So that means that either my love for forensics is just huge, or his long lengthy lectures actually taught me. Probably both. I would take him again.

Professor Mayko is okay, but I wouldn't recommend taking if you don't have to. I took his class as a requirement and he never responds to my emails. He's an extremely tough grader and the majority of your grade is from THREE exams. On those exams, you need to be extremely detailed or else you won't get the points. He's not rude, but a little petty.

You do 80 papers that add up to about 20 points worth 3% of your grade, then you have 4 tests that are worth your entire class grade and you have three days in advance to study
