I took his online humanities course. We had to read a few short stories and one novel for this course, in addition to his written lectures. He's a very nice professor, and puts in plenty of effort on his end. I didn't put in enough effort and earned my D. I recommend this instructor.

Cool professor who responds in a timely fashion and give TONS of helpful feedback. There is a TON of reading for this online class, so timewise it felt like it was taking more than 3 units. Subject matter was interesting, but I like humanites. No exams, but there are weekly essay quizzes timed for 30 min. & weekly writing assignments.

Prof. Mahon is a very nice and helpful teacher. He assigns a lot of reading. If you keep up on the reading, you'll be fine. There is work assigned on a weekly basis and essays. He does not give any exams. He communicates well with the students and he responds to emails in a timely manner. I recommend Prof. Mahon!

Are you American? Take this class. Not an American? Take this class. He shows how we developed socially and artistically as a nation. It's like a history, art and lit. class all rolled into one. Best class ever; best prof. ever! Lot of reading and writing. If you can make it past the 2nd week, you can finish with flying colors.

The online World Religions course I took was very enriching. As an atheist, I found the study of the different religions fascinating due to the way Dr. Mahon presented the information, and with the text books he has selected for use with the course.

Dr. Mahon is a really interesting person. This class title is what caught me (Death) and it turned out to be really informative. He does tend to go on tangents, but thats the beauty of it. There are no tests, just 4 essays and the weekly quizzes (on the reading assigned from the previous class) and DO THE READING!!! This class is really fun.

Alot of reading is required for the class inorder to do the four essays. There are no test just quizzes every class meeting and the class is mainly lecture based. Class is very easy but professor can go off topic at times.

Pretty easy class and friendly professor, although he tends to run off on tangents a lot, all you have to do is show up and listen. There are no multiple choice tests just 4 five page essays that you have plenty of time to write and a short answer quiz for each day of class.

Dr. Mahon is the greatest professor I have ever taken. Many years after taking his class, I still observe things I learned in his class all the time. He made me understand why I was in college, and take my education seriously

His online class is set up quite well, it is very easy to get into the routine of the class. This class required lots of reading, however they were all interesting and as long as you do this you should be perfectly fine in the class. Be prepared to write quite a bit, you receive comments on your work that help you improve throughout the course.

He was the bext professor I have ever taken!! So easy to understand. Has a demanding course load, but it's college we are expected to work hard for our grades. I received an A and you can too, because he makes that a possibility by providing feedback and a good structure... TAKE HIM!

The absolute best college class I've ever taken! I took the world religions online winter course and there were tons of reading assignments but he is very helpful and will grade promptly and offer lots of feedback to help you in areas of concern. He also fills his lessons with media and audio lectures to correspond with the readings.perfect teacher
