Dr. Mahoney is a great lady. She had a big lecture but took the time to get to know everyone and met with them in small groups. The quizzes are easy and you can get an A without even reading the books. No final, plenty of extra credit opportunities, and open book quizzes. Defiantly a good class to take!Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Mahoney is a very sweet person who genuinely wants all of her students to do well. It's probably next to impossible to fail this class. Lots of extra credit options available. I loved every assigned reading (all novels), but you can probably skate by without reading them. Overall, an easy A.Rate My Professors ↗
Extremely easy class and Professor Mahoney really wants everyone to do well. She provides many different extra credit options and there is no reason you should not get an A. The material is interesting and you do not need to read the book very thoroughly in order to get a good grade. She is a sweet professor that is willing to help at any time.Rate My Professors ↗
Super easy class! She gives alot of extra credit. Don't read the readings for the second midterm it is the same as lecture. Let us use a whole sheet of paper on the final. If you need an easy class take this!Rate My Professors ↗

Class is extremely easy, but very boring. Does not require a lot of effort, Read the assigned books;they are actually very interesting. She was very slow on posting grades, but she is very nice and helpful. Again, superrrrr easy!Rate My Professors ↗
