Comment:
Nonstop discussion board posts and quizzes. dozens of them, seriously. Also two huge and very involved papers that are harshly graded. After this class you will feel like a horrible writer and will be wishing you could have all that wasted time back. You also don't learn much because with all those assignments there isn't time to learn anything

He responds to emails, helps you with major papers, clear instructions on assignments and gives extra credit opportunity! Even did a zoom to discuss the final paper! Honestly, the bad reviews were given by lazy students. English majors complaining about having to write and read LOL! My B was due to my missing assignments, not the Professors fault.

Prof. Mauer is not difficult. 2 opportunities for extra credit. My C was not his fault, I can admit it was mine. There are many discussions, a midterm paper, a final paper, 15 question test and secondary essay 500+ word due the same day as the test, 2 hours to complete the essay. Work due Tue & Thur. Not an easy class, but not hard either. DO WORK!

Condescending, rude, too much homework, harsh grader, too much reading. The paper assignments suck too. I hate this class and am pretty sure I'm gonna fail it even though I worked hard. Wish I would have picked someone else

Comment:
His assignments never stop. There are over 40 discusion board posts over the semester and a ton of quizzes. This isn't even counting all of the papers we have to write along with midterm and final exams. I have a full time course load and spend more time doing assignments in this class then my other classes put together. I wish I never enrolled.

Professor Mauer made me really excited to begin taking English classes. He always responds quickly to students and gives great feedback. He provides all of the necessary reading materials. He gives two papers and grades them fairly. The online setup is perfected to make things easy to access. He also gave extra credit opportunities which helped.

Barry Mauer is a very kind and understanding teacher. You can just see the kindness in his face and voice. There are many quiz and discussions but they are very easy and the teacher genuinely cares about his students. I wish I can take Barry Mauer again but I am IT major and I don't think he teach more IT classes.

He gives you homework to read from different online readings tuesdays and thursdays. You have quizzes and discussions. Some discussions are graded some are not, but it's part of participation grade. He gives hectic paper assignments on things noone cares about. He gave us a final EXAM & a FINAL PAPER never take him again. Useless man

Comment:
Didn't learn squat about theory. He doesn't really explain anything. When it came to write a paper, I was lost. He expects you to understand the theories even though he didn't explain them. And when students struggled in the discussion posts, he was just super condescending instead of helpful.

Professor Mauer is very passionate about the course material. He's a fair grader and if you put in at least standard effort you will get a B. Just be on top of his assignment due dates. I took this class online and he had things due Mon, Wed, and Fri. Book is required! Heavy usage! I'm selling my old one on eBay for super cheap!

He is super accessible by email and will reply within hours. He grades the essays pretty heavy, so just focus on not leaving those for last minute. Otherwise, the course was amazing and straightforward. Would definitely recommend and take again.

Overall, I enjoyed this class. The subject matter is weird, but not difficult. As long as you read and do the quizzes/discussions, you should get an A. Participation is graded at the end of the course, so make sure you participate throughout the semester.

He is so knowledgeable and intelligent. I've learned more in his class than in any other. We didn't use any textbooks, but a broad variety of philosophical and literary readings which were provided online.

Comment:
Nice, liberal, and very enthusiastic. Unfortunately, I learned very little about literary theory in this class. Majority of work devoted to pointless, new-agey "Mystory" project (not sure if he always does this or if just semester I took it). Only other assignments midterm paper and participation quizzes on readings. Not awful but learned little.

Comment:
Really cool guy, lots of discussion relevant to current events. He quizzes on about 80% of the readings, so make sure you do them. He is very critical of papers but a fair grader, even with a lot of feedback on my rubrics I didn't make anything less than an 88. Be warned- He takes this class very seriously, and will make you feel dumb if you don't.

Great professor! He quizzes you on every reading. Read and you will do fine. Mauer's version of Lit Theory is by far easier to understand than the other professors. Also, he teaches from a different much easier book to read that he posts online as a pdf so you don't have to buy the book. There is one additional novel to read throughout semester.
