Took class in a tech room full of computers--didn't care that everyone was on IM instead of listening. Just throw in a comment now and then. Grades essays very easily.

He is easily the most interesting professor I have had at Mason. He is a dr. in poetry, but is well-read in many science fields. He gives extensions for papers, learns names, and will engage in philosophical discussions.

I had him for poetry of the Jazz Age and he always has something interesting to add. I enjoyed the discussions very much.

IT in contemporary society prof. Great guy. Was very interested in science and technology even from an English background. I learned a lot and he was fair all the time.

very interesting class topics. papers were all grade except for final which was a choice of 2 out of 5 questions to write essays about. i had him for phil. 112 and eng. 101 also. he is my favorite english teacher and gives re-writes on papers. really good!

Stop looking up other 302 professors, you can't find one better then this. You WILL get an A. Extremely easy, and a really nice guy. Just turn in whatevers due on time, and you're all set.

GREAT professor! Let's you rewrite each paper for a better grade! Show up on important dates (peer reviews, due dates, review before papers) and can skip the rest. Good review of basic English if you attend. Kinda boring but fun to watch him get excited about Tim Berners Lee.

You might not understand the readings but he explains it in class. If you don't go to class then your grade might be lower but if you go the class is really easy...although make sure your rested because at some points it is hard to stay awake.

Looking for a Engl 201 professor? Here he is. This guy is awesome. By far the best professor I've had in my 2 years at mason.

He's really nice. Great professor! He allows students to rewrite papers, very helpful and straightforward on what he wants in the paper.

Excellent teacher, Dr. T is one of the best professers I have ever had. Very clear when he goes over the readings. He is also laid back as far as turning in assignments (e.g. via e-mail) and gives you a chance to re-write essays to improve poor grades.

One-credit course was very easy. He knew a lot about the subject and though these weren't really "lectures," what he said was still very interesting. Really nice and helpful. Assignments were fun too. :)

He is really chill. No attendants, but it's very helpful if you do b/c he goes over the readings throughly. His readings are a lot easier than other 201 classes. A paper to turn in every week but that's really easy. Also one final exam that's really easy. THE professor to take for ENGL 201.

This guy is GREAT!! He is very helpful and explains everything. There is a paper every week and only one exam - the final. I would love to have a class with hime again!

Easy-going. Four 5-pg essays and nine 2-pg response essays. You have to read 5-6 books: William Gibson's "The Neuromancer," Jean Toomer's "Cane," Flannery O'Connor short stories, William Carlos Williams poems, David Mamet's play "Glengarry Glen Ross." One test, which is the final & it encompasses all the books you read. Have to have read the book.

BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! goes over everything sooooooooo well. very thorough! i def encourage anyone to take a class with him! amazing guy! very chill, no attendance! def suggest Dr. T!!!!

allows revisions on everything you turn in for a better grade. I didn't revise anything got an A-

Actually took this class Summer 04. Never went to class, except only to turn in papers (which probably about 4 or 5 times), and still got an A. Very laid back and nice guy. The kind of person you could talk to for hours. Has the type of class that you would want to particiate in discussions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A great guy; jovial and understanding. The class was a requirement for my English degree, though his section ended up being for business majors, it still satisfied the requirement, and I got more out of it than friends got out from humanities 302 classes. Fun class (even over the summer) easy A; bring up Office Space and Napolean Dynamite!

VERY EASY! take HIM! he's great he's nice i like his teaching style. he explains clearly and tells you exactly what you need to be writing about.

Awesome class. Dr. T is a great guy and makes class pretty enjoyable to be at. You do not really need to attend class just turn in the papers but classes aren't bad to sit through. Really good teacher and good guy.

He is a great guy and quite helpful. The class is not stressful. If you have already had a good writing skill, you would get an A from his class easily without trying hard.

Dr. T is everything you can ask for in a english prof. He is not only fun but also into hi-tech big time. He is very tech savy and is knowledgable about the latest developments in almost every field. Yet he is not arrogant and very helpful. I really liked his IT section for the ENG 302 class. A+ for Dr. T

I think this guy wishes he was a biology professor. Makes a darn interesting English professor though. Classes are long, but assignments are reasonable.

Dr. T is great! He is enthusiastic about the class, doesn't focus on talking about english, grades very generously, and the assignments aren't that bad. If you have to take 302 DO NOT take Raffel take Dr. Taciuch.

Nice guy and an expert in both English and technology. His class has a little bit of everything but it all ties together so you leave it with a lot of worthless factoids that give you a good idea of the general topics. Very generous person and professor, but lets students dominate discussion too much so some people give way too much input. Easy.

If you are a Biology major this class is for you. Dr. T is well versed in the sciences period. The most important thing are the writing assignments on his syllabus. He is clear about what he wants in a paper. His class environment is conducive to those who want to particpate. I recommend his class. He has a good sense of humor and is approachable.

Dr T. is awesome. his grading might be tough, but you can turn in assignments over and over again until you get the grade you want. Hes up front with the requirements for each assignment, and if you ask, he'll tell you how to fix your mistakes for better grades... And to those not having English as 1st language: THIS IS AN ENGLISH CLASS!! HELLO?!

this class is pretty much impossible to fail, you can only get lower than a C if you are truly trying to get a bad grade. Taciuch allows you to turn in any paper as much as you want for a better grade. Awesome professor and I learned a bunch. Attendance in class is also not required (and many times I did not go). Though if you do go, you do learn

Dr. T is pretty cool. He grades the first draft pretty hard, but you can revise as many times as you want to get the grade up. On a few papers, he didn't make it very clear what he wanted so if you have any questions, ask him otherwise look to do some revising. All in all, pretty good class.

this guy is awesome. AWESOME!!! if you are taking 302, which you have to, do not take any one else but this guy. i hate english. this is the second time i've taken 302 and this guy was the best. chill mode class. EASIEST teacher at mason and you actually learn stuff. if he teaches other subjects i would definitely be in the class.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! He is a very fair grader. He lets you turn in your papers as many times as you want to get a better grade. He does not take attendance. His lectures are actually pretty interesting if you are into technology (which most college students are). Highly recommend.

This teacher is the best. he is undertanding and helpful. he wishes the best on people and is very laid back. He has a good heart and if you do not take him you are making your life harder. he always lets out early and keeps things light. Our midterm we could use book and notes and I havent taken my final yet but he said its easy.

One word: awesome. TAKE HIM if you get the chance. He's laid back and grades essays fairly. Many of times our class would talk about random things ( leads to good convo ). and most of the time our class gets out early.

I LOVE TACIUCH PLEASE TAKE HIM HE IS AMAZING! he's such a nice person and he likes to stimulate the class. you don't even have to turn in papers in class... you can just email it to him. he lets you rewrite every paper and grades pretty easy to begin with (especially if you take a stand on a topic). taciuch is my hero.

Taciuch helps you with whatever you need. Just make sure to do the weekly responses. They're easy A's and only one page long, double-spaced. Take him if you get the chance. Just make sure to get the work done.

Take his class if you get the chance! He is awesome. Isn't very strict about due dates, especially for weekly one page responses. Willing to give extensions for papers if you approach him. Lets you rewrite papers before the end of the semester. Midterm and final are both straightforward. Usually lets class out early. Great professor.

Professor Taciuch is awesome!! I was worried about taking this class as I am not great at making websites, etc. However, I learned so much and that there were so many other ways to write than what I had learned in the rest of my life. The class was incredibly interesting and Taciuch is the nicest guy!! I definitely recommend this class and him!

HE so nice and helpful and really cares about us! I just finished the summer class and it was intense since there was writing all the time. otherwise you always get to pick your topics so it keeps the writings interesting. take him if you can!!!!!!

Professor Taciuch is a wonderful professor! He grades fairly and lets you rewrite most assignments to improve your grade. He tries to provide writing subjects that are interesting and thought provoking, which makes research and writing not as unbearable for those of us who aren't frequent writers. I highly recommend you take him!

I took Technical Writing with Dr. T and really enjoyed the class. The assignments are useful in preparing you for the future (resumes, customer letters, etc.). Such a nice professor and always willing to help.

The prof is very easy going. He responds to all communication and is great about expressing what he's looking for. He's very respectful to his students and even though I have not met him in person (class is online) I now think I am missing out by not taking the class version. He's a great person. One huge paper, the rest is simple enough.

I took this class online. One of the best decisions I have EVER made. What a great teacher. Take him.

HE is # 1. The best of the best. MUST TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Extremely good intructor. Dr. T is knowledgable and he makes the class interesting.

intelligent and knows many things in the biological science.allows resubmission til end of term.Class-interesting but too strict on grading and tries to make assigns harder for the next generations.It helps u know errors but some changes were opinions of what sounded better.if u want to work hard,take him,if not choose another bc its challenging

Great professor - respectful & quick response to e-mails. He lets you redo assignments for a better grade. Class involves a lot of writing (individual not group), but it's English, so it's to be expected.

Great professor! Writing assignments due every week but you can redo them if you get a bad grade. A bit challenging but he is very knowledgable and will help you any time. Definitely take him!

Professor Taciuch is an amazing teacher. Knowlegable across the spectrum especially in IT. Very intelligent and humble at the same time. Great guy. Class is not easy, you have to put in some time but you can resubmit ur assignment as many times within two weeks of grading. You can really gt an A in this class. He breaks everything down very nicely.

Really nice guy. Very occasionally got facts wrong, but overall, thought provoking. Only take the section if you're interested in the topic - class is heavily discussion based. Straightforward assignments (weekly discussion post and three essays - last is a research paper) that just ask you to put in some thought and write about it coherently.

Amazing professor. I was intimidated by the syllabus at first but it ended up being one of the easiest and stress free classes I've ever taken. He is very respectful of his students and very lenient. Allows re submissions on all assignments. Makes it clear that he wants his students to succeed. I would most definitely take another class with him!!

Best English class ever taken. Very fun and great professor. Gotta love the resume writing skill he teach in there. Now i know how to write elegant resume without a lot of words :D. Will take again if I need to. Please do yourself a favor and take him.

I enjoyed Taciuch's class. He is a great teacher and respected by the students. This is a writing intensive class. You can redo almost every paper for more credit which was very helpful because I had some difficulty understanding the criteria on each paper. He is very willing to clarify assignments.

Great Teacher. I'm not a big fan of writing classes but he made this one bearable.

His assignments are pretty straight forward. Not many assignments. Not too much work. One paper that is approximately 6 pages. Not too bad. TOUGH grader. I didn't get 100% on one single assignment. The best he will give you is a 4.755. You can re-submit your assignment within 2 weeks of grading.

Writing assignments weren't that tough and the final was pretty easy. He was very lenient on the research paper.

Very knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics so he can always guide you if you have trouble picking a topic for the big writing assignment. He also allows re submissions within two weeks, provides constructive feedback and there are no books required for reading (aka save money)! Also, take the hybrid section, we used our time efficiently!

I've never considered myself the best writer but I got an A. His online lectures are useful as he gives more context into what he expects from the assignments but they're very concise so there is no excuse to not watch them. Follow directions and structure your assignments like he asks and you should do fine.

Wonderful professor, He was extremely straight forward. Easily accessible and understanding. There is resume writing and the textbooks are actually useful. One of the best professors I have had at Mason.

If you disagree with him he tends to shut you down rather than foster healthy debate. That being said he is a very easy grader and lets you rewrite papers for a full grade. Be careful with this, as he will give lower marks should you write about something he disagrees with. Books aren't needed, but are used as sources for papers and discussions.

I took the hybrid class. His lecture & assigned readings are interesting. He has a bunch of assignments but they're very short & he basically tells you what to write in class. Can revise as much as you want as long as you do it within two weeks of getting it back. He's a cool guy. TAKE THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE STRESSED OUT.

You have to produce a literature review. He is very nice and helpful. Lecture was not very exciting, but covered all of the necessary parts. Grades fairly. Discussion posts and assignments every week. Very manageable work load. Lets you do rewrites for better grades. Def take him!

Very relaxed professor who wants you to do well. You can rewrite assignments if you do poorly. I felt like I learned something every class. Would recommend.

This was surprisingly one of my favorite classes last semester. It was on science fiction and lectures would range from the two books and other excerpts we read, to other topics in modern science/futurology. He made every class both interesting and effective at making us fully understand all the readings. Only two essays, and small reading quizzes.

really nice guy! very clear! sooo happy i took him. the best part about him is he lets you rewrite papers

Professor Taciuch made this class really interesting. The only big assignments were three papers and a final presentation (about the third paper). He's a nice guy and really wants to help you succeed. Every class is just him having a conversation with the class and he'll follow the conversation wherever your want to take it.

The books are pretty interesting especially since its all sci-fi. The hw is manageable and nothing too crazy. It's not hard to get an A. Participation is not a grade and its just him lecturing and students engaging in the conversation. This class isnt your crazy hard ass english class that you will dread. I HATE ENGLISH BTW TAKE HIM IF U CAN RELATE

Professor Taciuch lets you redo your assignments AND is an easy grader. I slacked off the whole semester and did only half of the discussion posts and I ended up with a B- with hardly any effort. Easy A if you commit 50% of yourself.

You have a Discussion Post and a assignment due every week. There is a lot of writing required but he lets you redo your papers for a better grade. There is just soooo much busy work to do.

Dr. Dean is very professional and knowledgable. Almost any topic that you are going to write about, he would have a good background on. All my assignments, I got A's with not extreme but high efforts, just listen to what he is looking for in your papers and you are all good. He also lets you revise/redo the paper to get a better grade. Just amazing

He is very to the point. Each class is basically asking him questions what is unclear about the reading- I don't think 75% of the class read after the first book tbh, but they were fine. 3 essays- moderate amount of effort gets you the A. Also, weekly responses were cool too. Chill class-you just learn about info theory and chat about Black Mirror.

The hybrid-section was great. Expectations are clear and writing assignments are fair. It's great that he allows you to re-submit for better grade. Very easy-going and respects the class. Would recommend him for an easy A, since he appears to be an easy grader. You get what you put into the class.

Lectures were always interesting with Professor Taciuch. This class was one of my more stress-free classes. There are 3 essays, weekly discussions, and a final presentation, but they were not difficult to complete. Definitely a solid choice for an honors college professor!

Taciuch is a relaxed and amiable professor. His class has almost no content; most days are casual discussions on what's going on in the current book. There are several reading quizzes and two short papers on the books. The midterm and final are trivial; a single-sided piece of paper with short answer and matching questions. He is a lenient grader.

The online version of this course includes weekly discussion board posts. There is one big massive term paper that is due at the end but the weekly assignments contribute to it. I found it very easy to write 10 pages once all the previous assignments were completed

I took the 8-week summer class online and I'm glad I did. He is the best professor to teach this class if you are a business major. All assignments lead to a 6-10 pages assignment. No tests or quizzes. No extra credit. No grammar is graded. Class is based on teaching how to research. He is quick to answer emails. Dr. T is THE BEST AT GMU. TAKE HIM

Dr. T was the chillest and easy lit prof ever. We had weekly 2 point quizzes based off the every few chapters we were reading. He offers extra credit. There are two papers as well as a midterm and final. If you read you will surely be fine. He offers chances to revise and re-submit papers if you dont get the grade you want.

The course sounded useless but it was an easy A and a great time. I learned the basics of coding and learned to write better for interative media which was lucky because the Next job I applied for required using the program (Twine) he taught us. Hardly a class to take seriously, but surprisingly useful and fun.

Grandpa Dean is the best. Kind, open, friendly, and facilitates wonderful class discussions. There were two major papers at the end of class and weekly discussion board posts, but at no point did the work feel out of proportion and he grades kindly. He also likes The Lighthousee (2019), which is cool.

Dr. Taciuch is amazing. If you do the work, you'll end up with an A. You have to take Eng 302 with him. He's the best.

Pretty nice and cool guy. If you're interested in tech then definitely take him - he knows his stuff. A few writing assignments, including a 10-page final paper on a topic of your choice.

Prof Taciuch was a super nice professor. Very organized class with weekly papers and discussion board prompts. He allows multiple rewrites for papers if you don't like your grade and gives good feedback. Definitely take him if you have the chance!

Great teacher, one of my favorite classes ever. Basically just talked about theoretical stuff every class and I'm not usually into that but he brings up such interesting points and made the class so enjoyable to me. I will definitely take him again and I strongly suggest you do too.

I love Tachiuch! I took Possible Futures and honestly it was pretty straightforward and super easy to get an A in. I learned so much and had fun in his class. There are 2 short papers and a final project. Hes an easy grader but you GOTTA read! (I love reading so it was easy for me to do so).

If you need to take a summer class, TAKE PROF T!! Instead of condensing the regular schedule into an 8-week one, he literally TOOK WORK OFF and it made the class so easy and fun. PERFECT summer class! Homework was graded based on completion. I was nervous about the amount of work this class would have, but Dr. T made it super fair & easy!

Great professor who is passionate about the material and doesn't focus on the fluff (citation style your choice). Expects you to work on your essays and wants solid arguments from the paper, allows as many revisions as you need! My brain is always mush after his class, but in a good way that makes you think. Best class this semester!!!

Very funny, caring guy. Always ready to talk about pop culture and Sci-Fi in class and just let the class discussion go where it will. Very engaging and fun class. Had 3 papers and weekly discussion boards, if you put thought into what you write and support it, you'll do well. Def one of the most fun classes I've ever had the pleasure of taking :)

Excellent professor. My class with him was hybrid in-person/online, I'd say most of my learning came from his short videos posted online, but he also repeats much of the same material in the in-person portions. Each graded assignment makes progress towards the final assignment. Very friendly and eager to answer questions.

Great professor, turned what would have been a boring class otherwise into something that I actually enjoyed taking. Extremely approachable and understanding, he's very open on his grading. If you put in the effort, you'll enjoy the class. There are only a few major assignments and they build on each other, don't fall behind.

I am a CRIM major and I am terrible at English. I seriously thought I would get a "C" in this course. However, Dr. T is caring and is always willing to help. I am telling you if you put in the work, you will get a good grade. He looks for quality in your work. There are re-do's on assignments if you bomb something. TAKE HIM! You won't regret it.

Did not regret taking ENGH302 with this prof. He is lenient on due dates, merciful on grading and accessible outside of class. If English is your worst subject, take the class with him.

THE best professor to take ENGH 302 with, even if you're someone who's not the best at writing. Very caring and approachable, super understanding about due dates, and a manageable amount of assignments that all helped towards final paper.

Amazing professor for the ENGH302 Natural Science section. The class consists of 3 research logs that build up to the main paper (lit review) and a short letter at the end. Prof is super lenient and understanding with due dates. Lectures are not mandatory but I suggest attending as he gives very useful information. Very fair and clear grading.

Take him if you can! he is super considerate and will accommodate you if needed. Small homework assignments each week that make the 2 papers for the whole semester. Not many grades, many journals and discussions that are completion based. Does give opportunities to correct and resubmit. Not harsh on grading, gives plenty of time.

Professor Taciuch is probably one of my favorites for honors classes, he makes the lectures less of a bore and duty and is much more chill with the work you have to do. Even though there are two books for class, I only used mine once because you get all info you need from the weekly summaries. Very lenient and kind, and is an easy grader.

Dr. T is a very kind and caring professor! He wants his students to be engaged with the course materials. Contribute to discussions and ask questions, you will do great! Assignment requirements straightforward, pretty lenient grader. Mostly discussion boards and readings, couple papers.

Prof Taciuch made ENGH302 really enjoyable. He's very approachable, gives good feedback on writing assignments and a chance to re-submit your work. Keep up with the smaller weekly assignments/journals/discussions and it'll help you a lot when you write the bigger 2 assignments of the semester. He's a very cool guy and knowledgeable about tech news.

Was an amazing and caring professor that enjoyed what he taught and made every class interesting.

BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER! take him if you can, he give plenty time to submit assignments and allow revisions. Sometimes I made late submission but still end up get a good grade

As others are saying, Dr. Taciuch is exceptional. He definitely made the class tolerable as he grades very leniently in my opinion and allows for extensions and revisions. You can tell he cares for your success, he is easy to communicate with and provides very helpful feedback. Take him, he will set you up for success!

Pretty easy grader for 302

His class on AI is so so interesting and he makes sure all his content is relevant. He's passionate and well educated on the topic, and leads discussions that are really great when people contribute so be sure to participate! Easy and flexible grader and very manageable coursework

Dr. T is such a fun professor! I loved the discussions in this class and felt very reassured in the class because he gave time for us to work on projects and made it a light and chill environment. I would 100% take him for HNRS 360 because you can tell he is passionate and he is knowledgeable about this topic and its impacts in every field.

Great professor. He is very empathic and charitable to his students. Class is A LOT of busy work, but this professor greatly simplifies everything.

Dr. T is great! The class is very discussion-based, so be ready to speak up. The "textbook" was a regular nonfiction book, and there were a few non-academic articles for assigned reading. Otherwise, there is a group project/presentation and two semi-informal essays.

One of the best English professors! Engaging lectures, manageable assignments, and opportunities to revise work. Definitely take this class, just stay on top of the weekly tasks. unstuck AI was super helpful for staying organized and acing the essays.

Take him! He's really nice and actually cares about his students. He's understanding - reach out if you have anything going on. Okay if you need to miss a couple classes. We had readings every week but you're never quizzed or tested on anything. The assignments are not hard at all really. Some group work and discussion board. He's great I recommend

Dr. T is genuinely an amazing instructor. Assignments are very fair (not too overwhelming and not too easy). There is no textbook, but be ready to read a lot of academic papers. All in all, he is perhaps the only professor I have ever had who understands the student perspective. Take him!

Professor Dean is a very sweet and understanding teacher with a wide scope of knowledge. He is lenient with due dates as long as you communicate that. Good feedback as well, he'll actually take the time to read your assignments.
