Comment:

I am a high school student and took his class at my local CC. Professor Mahon gives really good feedback and makes an effort to give clear criteria and is always looking for ways to help his students and make sure they succeed. Be ready to read though, one book is harder but still class is very enjoyable and easy as long as you do the work.

I had Mr. Mahon for Philosophy 121 Online and he is extremely well organized on canvas. He gives great feedback on class discussions. If you are taking the summer course, be warned it is VERY fast paced with 2 quizzes and 1 discussion per week with 2 essays. He grades fairly as long as you give it your best effort.

Comment:

Dr. Mahon is a great professor, but the course can be very challenging at times. We had to read two books with pretty dense verbiage, one describing the religion and one about the scripture. Overall though, keep up on readings and writings (at least two written quizzes per week) and you will be successful! I learned so much from this course!!

Professor Mahon is a great professor. He made good feedback and replied every email you sent. He explained everthing clear. I took HUM10 online in summer, and the reading was pretty hard. There were two textbooks to read. However, if you put effort on it, it is doable. Really good professor!

Professor Mahon made HUM 10 as fun of a class as it can be online. I thoroughly enjoyed the videos, music and extra websites he put out as tools for his students. He was very friendly, gave a lot of tips on how to write good essays, and earn better quiz scores. There is a lot of reading and writing in the class, but the work can be done.

Professor Mahon is great at engaging with students, he provides a lot of historical context with an in-depth look into arts. It's really interesting ideas, it's easy to be involved in class. He does require a lot of reading & writing but I think you'll end up leaving the class feeling like it provided insight & improved your own thinking.

Comment:

Makes you read heavily in two long books simultaneously. One that isn't easily readable. Not great at giving direction on essays which will knock your grade down. Take someone else that is more clear and grades fairly. I think it is nearly impossible to get an A in his class.

I don't think the "ease" of the class should be a factor but whatever. Mr Mahon did a wonderful job of interacting with us even though it was an entirely online course. The material was thought provoking and he was always eager to assist with any questions we had. I wish more professors structured their online courses like his. A+ guy

Professor Mahon is someone I hope everyone takes in their college experience. I took his online World Religions. He integrated so much information about religion with art, music, films, it was really interesting and I found myself researching even outside of the course. It's a good amount of work on your end but he puts in just as much effort.

Professor Mahon puts a lot of effort into his class, you can tell just by the way the online lecture on blackboard is setup, he tries really hard to give his students all they need to succeed and doesn't leave you out on the dust to "figure it out on your own". The class has a lot of work to it (especially reading) but he makes it very passable.

Mahon's class is like any other online class with work load. If you have any questions or help he is always helpful. Every week there is a quiz, a discussion post and a post responding to someone else. There is an essay in the middle of the semester and at the end. Just do all the work, do not skip out on assignments and you should get a good grade

Dr. Mahon does a fantastic job incorporating art, religion, ethnicity, and sex in the lesson. The class is a bit challenging if you are not disciplined to read the works and thoroughly analyze them. The class is straightforward. The same assignments are due on the same day at the same time each week. The professor really cares about his students.

This class was hard at first until I started actually doing the reading. It's difficult to get if you don't read any of the voorst or smith book. I took it over the summer and it was hard with all of the reading. The two essays were pretty easy though
