Reviews of professor Maxwell Foxman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Teaches straight from the textbook, verbatim. Wasted my money on it. Nice guy, offers a ton of extra credit opportunities. Mostly dull class. He has great energy, but the slides were rather lengthy and straight from the textbook. In my opinion should've been under an hour. Pretty boring but he tries to make it interesting. Easy A.

Not the worst professor I've had, but his class is kinda a joke. Really felt like a high school class. His lectures are basically directly reading off the textbook and were pretty brutal to sit through. He tries to be quirky which is kinda cringey but I guess at least he makes an effort. Pretty easy class though.

Prof. Foxman takes attendance for each class by assigning a daily question in canvas. His lectures are hard to pay attention to due to the amount of information he goes over and his habit of going off-topic, but if you show up and do the assignments, you'll get an A. Also midterm and final are taken online!

Professor Foxman was a great teacher, you can tell he really enjoys what he's teaching which makes it just that much more interesting to learn about. His grading system is also very straight forward and is calculated by a point system which I find to be much easier to manage. His lectures are interesting, and he's very articulate.

Professor Foxman is always available for questions outside of class. He's very caring, and seems passionate about what he's teaching. He also really enjoys video games, so that's a plus one. If you can take this course with him you should! It's relatively easy if you just show up and do the readings.

I absolutely loved this class and this professor! Yes, there is a lot of little assignments to complete each week but I found that I could get them done in a day or two at most. He is very communicative and wants you to succeed. I highly highly recommend taking this class with this professor.

Foxman is a great professor! He gives amazing feedback, is so nice, and genuinely wants you to succeed. I just joined the journalism major and I already love it because of his course. I definitely recommend.

Class structure during online remote schooling is difficult to schedule around. While yes, the class is fully online, the lack of a consistent schedule for the modules coupled with said modules only being available for a limited time made the class very difficult. If you're already struggling with remote learning, I suggest avoiding this class.

I took J201 online and it was so easy but I still learned a ton. Foxman gives lots of opportunities for grades and you only do as many as you want your final grade to be!
