Comment:

Being online was tough for everyone involved; however, Mader never gave me more than a 93% on any assignment, despite going above and beyond and writing more than was asked at me at some points. He cancelled many assignments I had already done because half the class did not do them because they work full time - I also work full time but I did them.

Mader is a great guy. The clickers were screwed up for our class so basically if you went to class you got a 100%. He is so sweet, intelligent, and quirky. I would take him again in a heart beat. Easy elective!

Professor Mader is awesome, he is hilarious and class is very entertaining. A clicker device is mandatory for lecture, attendance and quiz in this class. He use powerpoint slides during lecture, so take notes since materials will definitely reappear on quizzes and exams. He is straight forward, definitely recommended taking him for LIT100 course.

Loved Mader. He's so funny and always in a good mood. Never ever had homework, he assigned watching 2 seasons of OITNB if you count that as homework. He counts attendance with a clicker with quiz questions that are on the test!!! So write them down and you will get an A. Attendance is mandatory but personally I barely went. No textbook. TAKE HIM!

easiest A of my life. You get quiz questions that you have to answer with your clicker for class participation (we all ended with 100s because the clickers were never working). The online tests are the same as the in class quiz questions (take notes of them) and the final is open note! You also watch Orange Is the New Black and Jersey Shore.

Easy class. Quizzes using a clicker in class. Half the time watching tv shows/commercials. Test questions are directly from the quizzes and Final questions taken directly from the 5 tests.

Easy A. Clicker questions are the questions on the unit quizzes, write them down and you will pass the quizzes. The final was also clicker questions and you can use your notes. He is hilarious and I didn't mind going to class. There's no book you need to buy, which is a plus. The class is entertaining and there's no homework.

He is a great person and really gets to know his students. His paper assignments for this class were so confusing. He is a hard grader, but he always helps when you ask for it. if you have an interactive class, your class will be very entertaining and you'll look forward to it. He takes attendance every class and there are 5 papers in the semester.

Mader is hilarious. The class involves polls and quizzes using clickers. When More than halfof the class gets the question wrong the question doesnt Count against you. Every question from the test was at one time or another a daily Quiz question tests online Go to class Which isn't bad and get an A its not a bad class. Actual enjoyable.

Dr. Mader was hilarious. He is very clear and explains if anyone does not understand. We watched tv shows and movies that were followed by class discussions. I would definitely take his class again.

AMAZING professor. Best I've had so far. He's hilarious, kind, interesting, and very clear. I would recommend him to anyone. He made having an 8am somewhat enjoyable. Tough grader, but he makes everything clear. Passed with a B+ without doing any of the reading. But get the book anyway. Can only miss 3 classes or he'll lower your grade.

My favorite class the semester I took it. He is hilarious and a really good teacher. If he sees the class doesn't understand something or is confused, he will reteach and make sure the class understands. All tests are online and they are all questions from class. I really enjoyed his class because of how he taught and how funny he was.

TAKE HIS CLASS. Hands down best professor I've ever had. Isn't afraid to talk about things that make people uncomfortable, pushes the boundaries of modern education. Inspires me to pursue education as a major. He is absolutely hysterical and passionate about what he teaches. If I could take every one of his classes I would. He's also a total babe!

His pop culture class is easy. Show up and you'll pass with an A. All online exams and basically gives you the answers before you take it. He's hilarious and interesting.

One of the best profs I've had. He's not afraid to talk about the sensitive stuff, and that's what made the class so interesting. I never thought I could find American Captivity Narratives relatable in any way but somehow he made the class really interesting. Easy grader and very encouraging

It might have just been the class but I felt that the topics were extremely confusing and professor Mader did not explain the material very well. The textbook he assigned for the class was horrible and his comments were confusing. He is a nice professor but I did not feel like I learned much.
