Reviews of professor Eric Mason

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you want to teach yourself how to do math, take this class. if you want to be confused for a whole semester, take this class. if you want a professor who never explains anything to you, take this class. This was the most frustrating class I have ever take, nice guy, terrible teacher. If there is a way for you to get out of taking him, please do

If youre not a math wiz, DONT take Finite with Mason. Hes not a teacher, he provides no useful help, he cannot explain concepts in a simple way, and when the class cant grasp what hes attempting to explain (which is often) he just gets frustrated and moves on. Most stressful class Ive ever taken.

You won't learn anything. You will have to teach yourself.

Eric is not a very good prefessor, but to be honest finite math is more of an online class. He talks quietly and makes a lot of mistakes when explaining. I just did the homework on my laptop the whole class and answered the clicker questions (which he does every day) and have an A. Just find a friend who's good at finite and you'll be fine.

My honest opinion is that the entire math department at Arkansas is terrible and Dr. Mason was thrown in as our replacement teacher out of nowhere, he is a very nice guy don't get me wrong, but a pretty awful teacher who has no concept of what "teaching" really means. Honestly felt like we taught him more than we were ever taught. Still, nice guy.

Super nice but doesnt know how to teach math to students who arent naturally good at math. Hell take 2 minutes to address your question without actually answering it and youll be more confused afterwards than you were before.

Good guy, but terrible at teaching. Finite is more of an online class.

Have never had trouble in a math class before taking this one. Tests are the whole grade, and questions you never see appear on them. Only reason to show up to class is for the clicker quizzes, other than that you do about two questions a day.

This dude is horrible. I didnt learn a single thing from him all semester. I am lucky and had a tutor which taught me everything I needed to pass the class. He does clicker questions everyday so you have to show up He has horrible handwriting and you cant understand anything he says. He spent 20 minutes arguing that 10 was an odd number one day.

If you struggled in math and really needed the professor to help you through it, Dr. Mason is not the man. He will work through one question a class and you think I can do that, than you get home and the homework is nothing like it. You have to teach yourself with videos online if you want to get anywhere close to passing.
