very easy grader, take him
Save this site. Find this man. Take his class. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Spread the word.
Excellent teacher to take.
Take him. Take him. Take him. Find him, hunt him down find out when he is teaching this class and take him.... Oh yeah!
Great teacher. Nuff said.
dana is a great teacher. He is an easy grader. I took many classes with him, they were all enjoyable. I would take more if I could.
Great teacher! The material was always very interesting and class was a lot of fun.
His class is interesting
He is a great teacher and the class is pretty easy. He writes the notes on the board for you and gives you the information for the tests.
This guys class is great. Highly reccommended
He's a very good teacher. He explains everything clearly and is always willing to answer everyone's questions.
No complaints. Very helpful and became a friend too. For a teacher, he's not too bad on the eyes !
he's a good teacher and dreamy...

really cool teacher i would take another class with him anyday
Is very strict about showing up on time. Does not offer make-ups, however does give two bonus homework and allows you to drop your two lowest grades. Funny, in a quirky way. Great teacher, knows his stuff and fully explains all.
He is definitely one of the better teachers I've had. At first his class may seem a bit intimidating, but it's worth sticking with. I learned a lot from him and he is extremely helpful as well.

Dana is the coolist teacher you could ever ask for the quizes and test are so easy its an easy A and you have fun in his classes to
I have had him twice, he is an easy A just read for the quizzes. His tests are straight forward and he is a nice guy. He really wants students to learn something.
He is a very kool professor, I really learn a lot in his class, he is very funny and he gives bonus homework which I found very helpful
Had him for a webclass. His web class is simple. Just be sure to log in every other day at least and participate! He gives bonus assignments which is awesome in case you do miss assignments (which I did by accident) so grades are easy to make up. I am taking him again.
one of the easiest course in the world! the family project is interesting! 9 easy quizzes with only 5 MC questions(all on the book). I love this class and prof. so much!!!Take it and you will be happy
Don't bother trying. I took SOC12 online, posted intelligently to the discussion board multiple times per week, got all 100's on the quizzes and the assignments, and got an A- in both class participation and on the final, yet the other 100's must have had no effect, because I ended up with an A- for a final grade. Ridiculous.
Everyone is right, this guy is easy. Class was fun. The guy actually showed up to class in a dress once to demonstrate how people change their view of someone based on their appearance. He seemed kinda weird, but I liked the class.
This guy sucks. Don't take him. He's a scientist teaching a criminal justice course. He doesn't follow the book or give notes from it and also doesn't even read from it what so ever and goes off topic all the time. This guy is not worth your time or money. I don't understand he even still has a job still.
I liked this professor. His work is not hard and he always responds to emails and is a quick grader which I really appreciate. I wanted to take his other Sociology class but it was too overfilled. The Human Relations class involves Communist Manifesto by Marx which is a bore. I would take him again.
BEST TEACHER EVERRR ! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED !!
Gives a lot of work all at once but has later due dates. Grades very fairly always willing to help and very quick grading and gives explanation on why the grade was given. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Great online class. Great professor. Very straighforward. Very quick to respond to questions and help. Weekly quizzes are timed but he gives lots of time to get done. If you do the assignments you will do well. Highly recommended. A+!
He is a very good professor.
DM isn't just a cool sociologist: he's a posthuman professor! The guy has fresh ideas and great energy for teaching~can't wait to take more classes with him!
Took online class, he was awesome. He gave weekly quizzes, 4 easy papers, and a final rsearch paper. He grades fairly & quicly. I Highly recommend his class, I would definately another class with him!
Loved this class! I recommend this professor. He was very helpful and answered all question in a timely manner!
Dana isn't very helpful and is kind of rude. My big issue is that people take an online class because of a time issue whether it be because of children or work and he gives assignments to go into the community and they are time consuming, more so than an in person class! Also, his class is very unorganized unlike any others I've taken online.
I like Prof. Mayhew a lot. He answered questions in a timely manner and kept the class interesting. I took his class online and I look forward to taking him again. He will give you any help you need...TAKE HIM!!
this online class was a joke; not a funny one. He posts assignments throughout the week instead of posting a legit syllabus. You don't have to read the text to do well on tests - all the answers are in the first few pages of each chapter. My final paper was graded/returned in <24 hours; he barely read it. His directions are unclear. He is useless.
Dana is an amazing professor. Uses the book mainly for quizzes which are easy if you just read the summary. His tests are pretty simple too, and he gives you bonus questions. As well as a bonus exam if you want and atleast 4-5 bonus homewors. He's a bit odd in an OCD kinda way but I loved him. Made the class enjoyable for a nursing major!
I am taking SOC212 online and so far I absolutely HATE it. He posts assignments all throughout the week so you have to check elearning daily, even on holidays because he will post an assignment on a holiday and close it less than 48 hours later. I will never take a class with this professor again.
this guy was the worst, the online class was murder. AVOID if you don't want to have to check elearning every single day.
Prof Mayhew is amazing! Very helpful, and wicked cool with missing classes if you email him ahead of time. Will always make time to explain something you don't understand, VERY fair on grading! Gives opportunities to do extra credit to replace homework grades.
i took an online course with him and it was really easy.. he posts allot of discussion boards that i missed however it didnt affect my grade considering i got an A. If you want to take an online course that doesnt take up much of your time i suggest taking it with Dana.
Avoid taking an online class of his. I have taken it as well as people I know and they say the same. It is very unorganized, you can't always find assignments. The syllabus doesn't even have order to it. Unless you have time to waste sitting around waiting for a post or are a great detective with elearning avoid his online class.
He isn't hard, although he always gives a lot of work. if you don't sign in every other day, then you will miss a lot of work. The quiz are SO easy! If you don't mind work, he give a lot of it !
He is extremely unorganized. He'll put up an assignment and its gone before you have a chance to respond. If you don't log in for two days you can miss a paper! He is not a hard teacher/grader. I asked a question about when journal entries were due and he told me to read the syllabus. My GPA went from a 3.5 to a 2.5!! AVOID HIM!!!
This is BY FAR the worst and most unorganized professor ever. Many online discussions and assignments do not have assigned dates so he closes out assignments after two days being posted. He does not respond to emails often, he looks online once a day. I truly believe he does not care about his students, not helpful at all! I do NOT recommend him.
By far, one of my favorite teachers! I took this class online. There is a great deal of work, but it is possible to get an A! Funny teacher!
Mayhew's the best damn professor period.
I took Professor Mayhew for SOC 212 and liked him so much I sought him out for SOC 252. He makes you work for your grade, but allows you to have thoughts of your own. He is, BY FAR, the best Professor I have ever had. If you are having trouble, utilize the supplemental instructor...that is what they are for!
Good Teacher and class. He knows criminology inside out. Very funny guy. His SI leader is really nice and helpful.
Great professor. So organized with everything online. Weekly quizes right out of book answers. Weekly discussion a couple of easy papers here and there and your final is a research paper which is better then a "written" final. I recommend to take him online for easy online course.
Took this class online, You must check it EVERYDAY and post ASAP. He does close the discussions, I missed a few myself 1 or 3 but did not affect grade.
Awesome teacher.. highly recommend. I am taking my 3rd SOC class with him online. As long as you log onto elearning 3 times a week- as the syllabus says, you will be fine. He does post random assignments but if you follow his attendance policy and log on, you will not have a problem. Lenient grader, responds to questions, common sense assignments..
I liked his class. He can be tough and makes you work for the grade. The si leader, Chris, helped me a lot. Ended up with an A.
I LOVED this course. His quizzes are to write down everything you remembered in the chapter. and the tests were some what okay. If you miss a couple of classes you don't get the assignments. I defiantly recommend him
You will definitely learn in his class as long as you read the textbook and do the discussion board assignments on time (its an online class). Overall very informative, and Kris is a great teaching assistant, she's helpful and responds quickly to your emails.
I took Human Relations online with Prof. Dana. He made the class really fun while maintaining an educational environment. It's hard to fail his class. He explains well and use logic very well. He is one of the best. I'd recommend him.
Online. You need to sign into eLearning at least three times Mon-Fri. He posts discussions and closes them within a day or two to keep the discussion moving. Several discussions for each topic, post to each TOPIC you are golden! Group project: Others' non-participation won't hurt your grade. Research Paper: start EARLY, go to the writing center
Best professor at BCC. He does make you work for the grade and it's an online class so you have to check in often. Otherwise it's a really interesting class, and Kris is the Si leader, she's as nice and helpful as everyone says. Definitely would take him again if I could.
What a professor! I loved this class. He's kind, insightful, provides so much feedback and support. It's like a new world has opened up to me because of this class and professor!! Take him. Plus you get an amazing supplemental instructor named Kris - she goes out of her way to help you succeed!
Really good teacher, test are easy just study he gives study guides.. read the chapter can even just read the summary for quizzes he gives you ten minutes to write whatever you remember write detailed 2 paragraphs you'll get an A for sure .. he's a bit strange sometimes but really nice
Professor was great, he was clear with what he wanted and the final was actually given to us basically in October as it was a book review, plenty of time to read and do the assignment. Group work was there but it was really just answering a question and nominating someone to post a group answer. Great class, would take another with Mayhew.
Professor Dana is an amazing. He always willing to help. Pretty clear , a lot homework, but if you study you will pass the class
I took SOC 252 online with Mayhew. He gives great feedback on assignments and he always gets back to you in a timely manner if you have questions. There were a few extra credit assignments that he offered. Checking blackboard for assignments is essential if you take him online. I would definitely take another class with him.
Worst organization of online class I have ever seen. There were no "weekly" folders or any clear designation of when assignments were due. Things just got put into random folders leading to missed assignments. Same thing with group work. Teacher and subject matter ok but as far as clearness and organization, poor.
This professor keeps class interesting and always knows how to spark students' imaginations. He did a great job at making the materials studied more tangible. He also put in a lot of extra effort to make the class enjoyable, interesting, and upbeat. Best of all, he organized a trip to the Lizzie Borden house.
Awful. I took him for soc 252 online and it was terrible. He is so unorganized! It made taking an online class that much harder. He is completely all over the place and does not do things according to the syllabus. I was not happy! Made my summer class that much worse.
I'm pretty late with this response but have been wanting to write a review. My professor was absolutely amazing and his work partner is Kristine Thompson who did everything in her power to for the students if they needed help. They are both very engaged in the student's and the class was great. I'm not to well with online courses but it was great!
ALWAYS POP QUIZS ON CHAPTERS HE EXPECTS YOU TO READ, NO SENSE OF HUMOR, SO RUDE
Never in my life have a seen someone so unorganized for an online class. Posts homework in 4 different areas then is annoyed when it isn't done on time. Due dates changed basically every time I looked at them. I've taken 5 online classes before this one and this was terrible.
there is 1 big writing assignment in each course. I enjoyed him so much the first time, I took another. The course moves along quite quickly and he gives excellent feedback within a timely manner.
Professor Mayhew is a great teacher made class fun and enjoyable. It was a online class. You have to check into class site one-two time a day. Discussion boards closes quickly.
Way too unorganized. Made the class quite difficult. Sociology is hard to begin with never mind with an unorganized professor. We had an SI but it wasn't of that much help. PROTIP: don't take this class online.
Professor Mayhew comes off as sarcastic and odd but he really knows his stuff. The whole class is based on the book so you definitely need it and attendance matters. As long as you show up and do the work, you're fine.
Very unorganized, post and assignment and only has it open for a fe days at most and due dates change every time I look at them so you miss due dates Very unclear with how he wants things done and then gets upset when it is not done "correctly" made the class much more difficult than it should have been Would not recommend taking online with him.
I thought it was a great class to take. The professor is really nice and has a great SI names Kristine. She makes herself available for tutoring and makes sure to email back in a timely fashion. She will help in anyway she can to make the course as easy as it can be.
Do not take him!!! I have never seen someone so disorganized. The grading criteria makes no sense at all. He assigns random assignments and expects them done within 3 days. So frustrating. He does random discussion boards so you have to check elearning constantly. I also feel like I didn't even learn anything it seemed like an interesting class :(
I felt like I could have learned a lot more from this class. We basically had to read the chapters and take the quizzes. You can get a hard copy book but you can also get the interactive book online. One paper on your ancestry. 3 short writing assignments. No midterm or final. Easy grader, but didn't teach as much as I hoped.
This is an online college course and participation matters. There is homework and quizzes every week so make sure you read the required materials. Follow his instructions and you will pass with a solid grade, if not, be prepared to struggle all semester. He responds to emails in a timely manner and accessible at campus by appointment.
Didn't have the online course together at all. You were left in the dark trying to keep up with assignments because they weren't posted in easy spots. You were only given two specific days to do quizzes and homework. The homework for the online course had no help in taking the quiz. Not very understanding.
If I could give this professor a zero I would. For sure. He gives you two days to do any homework and then throws stuff online out of the blue with no warning and expects you to check every five seconds like you don't work or have any life. His grading is awful and he doesn't know how to teach or organize an online course.
Very disappointing with this instructor. Any questions I had was referred to read the syllabus. Submitted a paper as soon as available, unfortunately incorrect format. Instructor didn't advise he wouldn't accept format until after deadline closed then deducted 10 point for format another 30 for being late so an A paper into a D- .Not helpful
This class had the most confusing set up I've ever seen. They put you in different groups for different assignments, there is few homework assignments that are built upon each other over time yet they're not really accessible after you have turned them in so make sure you save everything. Also all the dirty work was handled by a teachers aid.
Dana isn't very helpful and is rude. My big issue is that people take an online class because of a time issue whether it be because of children or work and he gives assignments to go into the community and they are time consuming, more so than an in person class. Class is very unorganized unlike any others I've taken online.
This is a great professor. He makes lecture interesting and tells some jokes. He definitely knows his stuff.
Very interesting and he really focuses on helping people understand challenging concepts. Would take again in a heartbeat. His Si Leader Kris is a great asset to the class. She is so supportive and funny. Take him for all sociology classes if you can.
Not understanding at all and the class isn't for people who truly want to learn. The website for the online class was not working and he didn't seem to care. How am I supposed to do the work if the school's site isn't working! Anyway, I wouldn't recommend taking a class from him.
A very non-understanding teacher! He must not realize there is a virus that is killing thousands of people. Expecting us to go out even after the semester is over to complete service instead of giving an alternative assignment because he doesnt care about anyone. I guess Ill do his work while Im at another school. A real waste of time. Sorry!
Prof Mayhew was by far one of my favorite professors over 25 years ago. I took several classes with him and I loved it. I remember one time he showed up to class in shorts and a torn band shirt and just sat there. He made you think about perception. He was always available to help and I even used him for a reference when for a job!
Recommended.
Professor Mayhew is one of the easiest Professor's I have had since attending BCC. I do not agree that he is a "tough grader" , he is by far the easiest, laid back teachers. I am currently taking his Sociology 256 class, which is awesome. Very nice man.
Professor Mayhew is a laid back Instructor who gives clear grading criteria, very responsive, caring Individual. Highly recommended
My favorite professor. ;) Super hot
Professor is extremely demanding with his student's time. For this course there was either a DB or assignment/quiz due literally every two days. He even had an assignment and DB both due on a day when the entire college was supposed to be closed. DBs are only open for 40 hours so if you work or have kids, it's close to impossible to not fall behind
Everyone has different experiences, but mine with this professor was positive.He always responded to my emails and questions and left feedback on my submitted assignments.I missed a few assignments, but that was on me not the professor. He grades like any other professor, it was a summer term which is shorter there was a lot of homework as expected
Everyone has their own opinion; I found Professor Mayhew to be knowledgeable and kind towards his students. Professor Mayhew responds to emails fast and is always willing to help out and work with you in a tough situation. I enjoyed his sociology class and enjoyed him as a professor. D. Bautista
