Reviews of professor David Mayrowetz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very student reliant on lectures, not much material in class but expect to learn independently through videos and many readings for 90% the class

This has been by far my favorite professor! He is so easy going. There are weekly lectures and readings, but the  topic are really interesting and easy to get into. Be prepared to participate! I almost never participate in classes but he made it very easy to be engaged.

Loved this class and my TA this year was the best. So interesting and I liked the way we had discussions in class. There is a lot of work and lectures to watch before class but you have a week to do it so it is reasonable. Would def recommend especially if you wanna be an education major.

Very caring, understanding, and compassionate. Topics discussed in class were interesting and the workload was not heavy. Makes class fun with videos and jokes, and his TA's were very insightful and funny as well. I felt welcomed and comfortable in his class.

Heavily relies on reverse-classroom model, which is very dependent on students vouching for their participation by showing an understanding of the content through discussion. Discussions were very surface-level, and homework generally overcomplicated the content we learned. This model works well in remote circumstances, but not in person.

The class time isn't for lecture which kinda throws me off. He just rambles while we have to watch prerecorded lectures before class and learn the material on our own. SO MUCH HOMEWORK AND READINGS- you can tell he also teaches graduate level courses because he runs this like one too. the class is just very unorganized & stressful. don't recommend

Discussion board for modules every single week. Lectures consist of a ton of reading in addition to his lectures AND there are other videos we need to watch. 1 midterm and either a final group project or a solo paper. Very tedious. I took it during the first semester we transitioned to online class due to COVID-19, and I def. do not recommend.

Dave is an amazing professor! I took this class as an elective and it was truly an amazing class. I learned so many valuable things through both lecture and class participation. The class is very straightforward (5 short responses, a midterm, and a final presentation). So long as you engage with the material and do the assignments you'll get an A!

Im taking Professor Mayrowetz ED 135 course online, asynchronous. He is indeed very thorough and competent on subject matter, but his delivery is lackluster. His lectures can be difficult to feel engaged in, and I actually have a heavier course load here than in any of my 300-level classes. Be prepared with excellent time management skills.
