Reviews of professor Joshua Mason

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Best ethics professor ever! No textbook required. Readings can be dry, but if you print all the readings out and his reading notes before class, show up, and take notes, you will pass. 4 tests, 2 papers, 1 presentation. All tests are based off lecture. If you don't understand anything, just ask, or show up to office hours. He will help you.

Tough essay grader but is always available to talk about grades. Expectations are not clearly stated all the time which made some assignments challenging. Really makes you work hard for your grade!

Chill and easygoing professor -- I took his interdisciplinary connections online summer course. It can be a bit stressful with grades since there's only like 4 assignments (final paper is worth 35%). But, he's always willing to chat about grades and guide students in the right direction for the papers. As a PHIL minor, I would take him again.

Feedback on exams and tests weren't particularly helpful, so you wouldn't know what to fix for the next graded assignment

Great at explaining a usual dry subject in a relatable conversational teaching style. Lectures will prepare you for the exams and projects more than the assigned readings. Visit office hours for absent lectures and/or in depth clarification and you'll be inclined to earn a good grade!

Dr. Mason has funny lectures and he's such an easy-going dude. Breaks down readings into easy to read snippets, makes you post a discussion question for each class. His lectures are outlined and he's always available to help. Don't need a textbook, he has readings on Brightspace! Highly recommend
