Comment:

I thoroughly enjoyed taking Professor Haggerty's class. He offered unique insight to the topics that we discussed and I often found him reaching out to develop connections to his students. I look forward to his class as he makes it interesting, entertaining, and funny. He is easy to talk to and overall a wonderful professor to have.

I didn't like Mark too much at the beginning of the semester because he constantly called on me during lecture, like CONSTANTLY. But eventually I warmed up to him. He definitely makes you think a lot. He's very vague which can make assignments a little bit more difficult. Be prepared to talk! Expect heavy criticism!

Comment:

Focuses on careful analysis of texts & lectures (you have to read!) for his class. He expects quality work and isn't afraid to say if your work isn't up to par if you're slacking off. He's very sarcastic and has a laid back grading approach so his guidelines aren't often very clear. Take him if you want intriguing precepts that make you think.

not a good teacher at ALL, does not give you any structure and all directions are so vague. when you hand things in he tears you apart & definitely has a bias. not afraid to call you out and make you feel dumb as hell in front of your entire class. 10/10 do NOT recommend.

I really liked Mark. He's very laid back and if he likes you, you'll do well! He's not the easiest preceptor but most definitely not the hardest.

Compared to most of my friends in Honors, Mark gives few assignments. He is, however, quite critical--but this is absolutely a good thing in the context of the course. He was frustratingly vague many times but overall I'd rate him well and would take him as a preceptor again.

Comment:

Dr. Mark Haggerty may have been the best professor I have had at the University of Maine. He is an inspirational professor and a true educator. If you actually want to learn something from honors and be challenged intellectually this is the professor you need. He will not make things easy for you but that's not the purpose of a liberal education.

Comment:

Mark was disrespectful to his students and wanted to talk more about what he wanted to talk about then let the students talk for themselves. He would force students to talk in class and was kind of rude and pushy at times. He either liked you or he didn't and it showed. I felt like his class was way too hard and that he was too hard on us.

Be glad the 20-page monster of a paper is gone. Nice guy; goes really deep into thought about the text. Expect a very long final for HON 211. Discussion can stall and participation is a large part of the grade.

Comment:

I loved him in honors and missed him my second semester. He was really open to ideas that could come out of nowhere. Anytime I see him in Colvin he still waves to me, and tries to talk to me if I have a minute before my class. He was good at keeping the conversation going in class, which is often a problem I have this semester.

Comment:

Have Taken Haggerty for HON 112 and really enjoyed his style. His teaching style in 211 changed; he believes that the students should be allowed to change things they don't like about the curriculum(syllabus). So when students complain, he doesn't really care. If you read and do all of the assignments you should do well. Got an A-

He's an excellent teacher, keeps discussions very interesting and engaging. Quite a bit of work, but entirely worth it, one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Awesome professor. Had him for 3 semesters of honors. Good at leading discussions and I found him to be very easy to talk to. Some of his assignments are tough but once you get so you know what he's looking for in your work its not so bad.
