Comment:
Throughout my four years at X, I have not had a better or more accessible Professor than Professor Mahaffey. His door is always open, whether it is for something you are struggling with in class or just life in general. Had him for both 331 and 332 and found both classes interesting/engaging. Would 10/10 recommend him and 331 if you need electives

Tom is hands down my favorite prof I have ever had at X. He is not only the sweetest man ever and so funny, but he genuinely wants you to do well. 331 is basically like a mike bikes x2, super easy and fun. Case studies were easy to follow, and if you show up and talk in class you will get an A no matter what! Love you Tom!!!!!!!

Tom has been one of my favourite professors at STFX. He cares about his students and wants to see you learn and succeed. He is very open and willing to help outside of class hours. He may seem intimidating at first but he is a real beauty. I would choose to take a class just because he is the prof. Very smart and knowledgeable about marketing.

His defining trait is that he genuinely cares about his students, and makes a point to know you by name. He is truly interested in ensuring that each student gets the most out of their educational experience - although perhaps not the most charismatic or captivating lecturer, he is an incredible educator by virtue of his focus on student success.

Tom is the best prof I had in my time at X by a country mile. He is a genius who wants his students to LEARN, rather than memorize a bunch of dry material. He marks quite fairly, and encourages you to stay engaged and think outside the box.

Easily the best business professor at St.FX. His classes are challenging, but he's very understanding and he genuinely wants people to do well. He even helped me get a job after graduation; so don't hesitate to get to know him!

Tim is an amazing prof. He's good at transmitting his knowledge, and he's always really helpful if you don't understand something. He tends to play devil's advocate, but only to make sure you understand. He really likes simulations, so if your into that, his courses are great. If you get a chance, take him!

Tom offers a third year marketing class that uses a simulation to determine your mark in the assignment. I would highly recommend the course, even to those not majoring in marketing, and Tom as a Prof.
