Comment:
Top 5 worst teachers I've had at Towson (graduating senior). Worse during corona cause he can't use technology. Couldn't even turn camera on. Had to email hw, where he would MAIL back. Wouldn't receive the past hw by the time the next one was due, so didn't know how where to improve. No blackboard. No PowerPoints. No email response. Just talking.

He gets a bad rep, but he was actually a really good teacher. I had him for Engl310 too and I got an A in that class as well. He gives you a study guide a week before the test, which is word for word what the test will be. You don't even have to answer all the questions. If you put in the work and read, you'll do fine in his class.

Comment:
Gave no feedback for tests. Even the sight of a laptop or phone sent him spiraling in the middle of a lecture. Never opened the Blackboard portal because I'm positive he doesn't know how. Expected respect when he, himself, showed he did not respect you. Would never recommend this professor to anyone.

I feel like Dr. Hahn gets a bad rep from students who aren't willing to try as hard as they can. If you work hard for a good grade, he respects you for it and is open-minded. He often praised my efforts one-on-one and said he'd miss having me as a student. If you are willing to strive for an A in his class, remember this review, not the others.

Hahn is honestly a really nice guy but the class is graded solely on 3 exams so you really have to work for it. Talk to him after class so he knows youre putting in the effort and do the extra credit and you should be okay. Its hard but doable!

Comment:
I really enjoyed my ENGL 222 course and even joined his ENGL 221 class the following semester. There are usually one or two extra credit opportunities. He gives alternatives to taking the tests, although the tests are so easy no one ever uses them. He was my favorite professor, I actually wanted to do the work for his class.

Professor Hahn is a very intelligent guy. His class consists of mainly exams but he lets you substitute two essay for two exams and the study questions for the exams are given at least a week before. He's also very approachable so always feel free to talk to him if you need help. A really great professor!

Before I took this class, I heard that there is a major term paper. However, the research techniques and practical writing knowledge gained in his class is valuable if youre planning on going beyond just undergrad. This is the class where you learn to write real college papers that will get you into and through grad school.

Someone is sure full of himself. Had to pay for his textbook, and everything we were made to talk about in class was based off of something he wrote. I made the mistake of countering an argument in the text and got chewed out because it was something he published. Oops.

I have never cried in public before taking his class. He printed copies of my paper out and passed them around the class as an example of what not to do. Did not even show the mercy of whiting out my name. English is not my major, but I believe I'm a decent writer. He told me I had to start an entirely new paper and write it like "an adult." I'm 28

Took TSEM 102, War in Literature. Lots of lectures, said there would be more discussion after midterm but it never happened, it was still mainly lectures with maybe one or two days of some discussion. Exams aren't too difficult, but for the 15-20 page term-paper he will not hesitate to point out every little minor mistake and count it against you.

I took TSEM 102 War in Literature with Hahn. The class was mainly lecture based, although he said we would have more discussions after the midterm. 15-20 page paper assigned at the beginning of the semester, due at the end. Gives you a study guide with all the questions for the mid-term/final. He's a pretty nice guy as long as you pay attention!

Comment:
He really only lectures and reads straight out of the books we read. We had 7 books to read as well as a packet of a collection of readings that he developed. Dr. Hahn likes to talk about himself and share his vast knowledge of both English and History. I can understand why people are annoyed by him, but he will improve your writing. 15 page paper

He's very full of himself. Almost every argument we read was written by him. He makes you buy a whole booklet just full of arguments HE WROTE.

I'm not fond of the guy but the reviews here are unfair. There are 7 essays, two get dropped, and he offered 10 different extra credit assignments this semester. I don't like his style of teaching (lecture is him reading a lot) but he is very knowledgeable and I do feel I've improved my writing because of the essays. He likes people who participate

These reviews are an unfair depiction of Dr. Hahn. He is an incredibly intelligent man. If you're willing to pay attention and put in the work, you'll learn a wealth of information from this class. Dr. Hahn KNOWS what he's talking about. He expects his students to behave professionally. If you need help, he will be the first person to help you.

Comment:
Dr. Hahn's class is extremely lecture heavy. As an English major I found the subject matter interesting. We focused a lot on US History. Although he is very no-nonsense he's actually not a very hard grader and he does give good feedback. I recommend if you are an English major but DO NOT take him if you are not. I feel that my writing has improved.

Only have had this professor for a month and I already hate this class. Extremely rude. Yelled at us the second week of class when only 4 of us had purchased HIS textbook (which at the time was sold out). Also received the "taxpayers pay for you to come here make the most of it" speech. Boring lectures. Acts like his class is the only class we take

grumpy old man who loves to hear how smart he is. uncomfortable class, calls people out for things and embarrasses them over nothing. a 73 is a D in his class, which speaks volumes about him as a person. makes you buy HIS book.
