Reviews of professor Cory Mahoney

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kind of micromanages all your projects and has very high expectations. Not great at teaching on the wheel. Plays good music in class though. You need to put in probably a minimum of 5 hours/wk during a project week to get your stuff done, so that's frustrating sometimes. Can also come across as passive aggressive

This class has been terrible and unnecessarily stressful. He teaches it like an advanced level course and makes students feel like they are supposed to cater to his liking rather than be freely creative. Never gives enough time for projects and is never clear on anything, you feel like you know what he means but then he tells you its wrong.

I think Cory does a great job. He sets clear expectations from day 1, & encourages everyone to improve regardless of skill. His projects are fun, engaging, leave room for creative expression. If you would like to learn and improve this great course, whether your an art major or not.Overall the expectation is in line with a 3000+ college art course.

Passive aggressive and blames the student for not understanding content even though most students come from non-art majors. Projects are seemingly graduate level compared to the other intro ceramic classes. Very tough grader, your average is going to be a C. I now hate ceramics because of him.
