She is a very engaging professor and will explain things if you don't understand. Very easy to talk to and felt comfortable in the class. Would recommend her to anyone needing this class.
Good teacher. I'll just but it this way. I'm taking her again. Easy A if you put forth a little effort.
Professor is very nice, flexible and easy going. Class is very simple, easy A if you complete the work. I recommend this class to all.
She is a great Professor overall. All you have to do is put forth an effort and do the work. She is not hard on the grading. Nice personality, very clear on what she expects. I would recommend her to anybody.
Best in the world!!!
Teaches with great enthusiam and always has the class laughing with her sense of humor. Believe me, you'll enjoy being in her class
DR.MASTURZO WAS GREAT AND NICE! AT FIRST HER CLASS WAS A BIT CONFUSING AND MOST DID NOT UNDERSTAND OR KNOW WHERE SHE WAS GETTING AT WHEN EXPLAINING WHAT WE WERE GOING TO WRITE ABOUT FOR OUR PAPERS. BUT AFTER SOMETIME IT STARTED TO MAKE SENSE. I DEFINATELY RECOMMEND HER FOR ENC1102. TRUST ME.. YOULL LOVE HER CLASS!!
Loved her!! She made the material very interesting, fun, and easy to understand! Would recommend her to anyone!
She is great!!
Modern and engaging teacher, easy A.
She is a wonderful person as well as a teacher. She is very understanding and gives great topics to write about. I will be taking her again!!!
She is one of the most understanding and caring professor i have ever had. She really is down to earth and has such a unique and interesting way of teaching.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER! SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND HER PAPERS ARE CONFUSING AT FIRST BUT IN THE END YOU WILL ENJOY WRITING THE PAPERS...TAKE HER!!!
Pretty fun & interesting class. The class is pretty easy and free flowing. We only had 4 papers to write and so far I've gotten A's on 3 of them. Would recommend to anyone.
A very kind teacher who specializes in communicating with others. Her classes were always engaging; we sometimes got in groups and shared our writings in what she called workshops. We had to write four papers and ten journals across the semester. Would definitely recommend for English.
This professor is great for anyone who needs a humanities credit and an easy 'A'. She gets a bit stale sometimes, but her class is extremely interesting. You get to do some fun activities that no other professor allows. If you take this professor all, you won't regret it. The final is the easiest as it can be.
she's amazing!!! so easy. you only have 4 or 5 papers that are 2-3 pgs. no test no finals and the topics arent hard at all. she's very understanding and there's no way to fail. she'll even take papers late. she is awesome
Amazing teacher.. You will learn alot about art, and life. She rarely use the textbook and you'll have 3-4 papers with a few journals. If your responsible you'll pass!
SUPER AWESOME TEACHER!!!! JUST LOVE HER!!!
Awesome teacher! Four grades no tests, do the assignments and get an A! She is very smart and I actually learned a lot.
Absolutely adore her! She encourages diversity and makes the subject matter interesting and fun. She is a wonderful teacher. If you have the chance, please take her. You will not regret it.
Dr. Masturzo's Humanities class is an easy A. At each class she gives a journal. There are two papers and no final. She can be a little dry and monotone, but she is very nice and attentive. Her classes are a little different, maybe even "out there" but just entertain her ideas and youll do fine!
Easier grader ever! 2 papers, 1 presentation, 1 group assignment, and about 15 journals is all u do. Journals only have to be a paragraph. The assignments might seem kinda weird at first but she explains everything very thoroughly and is always willing to help with anything. One of the nicest teachers I've ever met! Almost a guaranteed A+.
Prof Masturzo is a good prof. She encourages you to think and lets you pick topics to write about. She is sort of out there but none the less her class was good.
Brilliant professor, takes an alternative approach to teaching. Clases are interesting and stimulating. I've taken her twice and wish that I could take another of her courses. She is the best professor I've had, hands down.
Dr. Masturzo is an amazing professor, I am not a fan of art but she made it very interesting and fun. I am taking her again this summer and can't wait for the adventure. So I would recommend anyone to take her for humanities.
Easy A. I didn't really learn anything in this class. I was wierd, kind of like being stuck in an REM video for two hours a week for four months. Take this class for the GPA factor.
Love Dr. Masturzo, her class is so laid back and she takes it day by day. I took her second humanities class and of course I made another A. I don't like art but she makes the material so interesting. I would recommend everyone to take her if you need humanities. Yay!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Masturzo was an AMAZING professor!! I've never been much into history or art, but thought if I HAD to take a humanities class, this one sounded the least boring. I was SO right! She made the class fun and interesting & made you actually understand some things about history. & on top of that, she's super nice & funny (:
Great class. One chapter review paper, one 5 page reseach paper, final project, and daily journal entries. Go to class and do the work and you will pass. She makes it interesting. I wish she taught other classes I need to take.
She is a amazing and wonderful teacher. Her class brings us a lot of interested things of art. Recommend to take her class.
Easy A! Boring class.
Mrs.Masturzo is an excellent teacher. Attending class is not mandatory but in order to get a good grade you will need to attend. You have to keep a journal and if youre not there you wouldn't know what to put in the journal. I even turned in a couple of assignments late an she gave me credit for them. Not a very harsh grader at all. Would recommend
Very helpful even outside of the class. Would recommend her to all. 2 papers and you have to keep a journal one oral presentaion but its just with her not in front of the class.
She is very down to earth and make this class a bit more interesting. It wasnt what I expected, the course not the teacher, than I expected.
Dr. Z is an awesome professor who really cares about her students and their success. If you keep up with the journals and put effort into the papers she assigns you should be able to get an easy A. Recommend her to all types of students!
holly is so easy. but super boring. dont buy the book. we never used it. there are only 2 papers that you have to write and keep a journal. easy A.
Dr. Masturzo is very odd, but very nice and geniunely wants her students to do well. The book is useless - DO NOT BUY IT! It weighs 13 lbs, never bring it to class, and use it for 2 assignments. It's a very new-age type of class and approach. Easy A if you put in the work.
This is my second time taking her, so that should let you know something! Wonderful teacher..explains the material in a modern-day approach..as long as you put forth the effort for the two papers and complete the journals, you will do fine. Great class!
Dr. Z is open-minded & her teaching method allows the students to do the same in class. The text book is SUPER HEAVY & its required for 2 assignments only. Altogether, the class includes daily journals, 2 papers, & a small, fun, easy group project. All of the assignments are very simple & self-engaging. Come to class, participate, & pass with an A!
It took me a long time to really figure out what the purpose of her class was, and I used to hate going cause we didn't learn much. VERY easy class. Dr. Zo is a great woman though, very, very lenient. No excuse for not getting an A in this class. Journal entries every class, otherwise your grade is made up of two papers. Reccomend.
I had Dr. Masturzo three times (All A's). I absolutely loved her classes. She's very straight forward with grading and assignments. Most all assignments are opinionated. She's very intelligent. I recommend her to everyone going to FSCJ. She makes humanities a very interesting subject, I now love this subject because of her. AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!
Loved her class, it was so easy everyone should take her!!!
Easy A. Cool professor.
Really cool and extremely nice lady. The easiest grader in possibly the whole world. Some of her assignments might seem a little weird and unorthodox but they're still easy. Just put a little effort and so up to class and participate and you're guaranteed to pass.
LOVE HER...she made lit so fun!! shes so amazing and you learn so much in her class. she really cares about her students
Awesome teacher!! Had her for ENC 1101 and got an A. She is the best!
Dr. Zo is an awesome teacher. She is very laid back. We didn't need to buy a book. Only wrote 10 journals, 4 essays,1 project, and that was it. LOVED THIS CLASS!! Thanks Dr. Zo for our many talks when I needed a listening ear. Everyone should take her class! She's Awesome! :0)
PROFESSOR Masturzo WAS A GREAT TEACHER HER CLASS IS SO EASY. TAKE HER EASY A. SHE REQUIRES NO TEXT BOOK.
Great teacher overall, but if you don't like art, you will not like this class.. it's rather hit or miss, either way.. she's is a nice and knowledgable professor.
I'm not a fan of this subject, I only took it because I had to. Two essays, I think 20 journals, one small project, a class project, a book that didn't require any work really, and ALOT of discussions. Majority of the time in this class I just played on my phone and she didn't care. Basically I was seen and not heard, but still did my work
She is an EXCELLENT professor. Just do the assignments, journals, and readings along with in class discussions and you will pass the class. I thought the class was going to be boring but ended up loving the it. Anyone who needs to take a humanities class TAKE HER !!!!!!!
This is a professor who is truly passionate about a subject she truly loves. She makes you appreciate the subject and makes you fall in love with it. You will truly enjoy her and her class. Her grading scale is as written in the policy. You only need to complete the journal assignments and write one paper. She is extremely helpful too.
I loved loved loved this professor! I've been in college for 3 years and she was the BEST prof. I ever had. She is EXTREMELY helpful. She gives great direction in helping you understand the course. She is a passionate teacher and it will reflect in your grade. She is the best TAKE HER!
Very easy class. Read the chapters and you should be fine. Discussion board and journal every week. 2 projects, Analysis and Synthesis. The final is an essay exam. Dr. Zo is great. Shes helpful and gives you feedback on just about everything.
Dr. Zo was fantastic. She provides detailed feedback and has an audio message each week explaining the work and giving tips. Very nice woman who takes the the time to be a great professor. If you aren't going to give it your all and try I think she will grade accordingly. YOU ARE CRAZY NOT TO TAKE DR ZO FOR YOUR HUMANITIES REQs.
Dr. Zo is clear and concise. Her grading is more than fair and the class is very passible if you do all assignments. Weekly journals and discussion boards, and 2 projects at the end. Exam is a short 250-350 word essay. If you complete all assignments on time, it's tough not to get an A.
Dr. Zo was a fantastic professor. She made the course very easy to understand and allowed you to express your opinions without judgment. There is a lot of writing involved, but easy. Attendance was not a necessity but you had to fend for yourself to get anything you missed from a classmate. Love Prof Zo! So glad to have been in her classroom.
The class involved a lot of reading and writing but as long as you follow the prompts you will do fine. Dr. Zo gave weekly written instructions to follow as well as an audio message to further help you succeed. She was always prompt with a response any time I had a question.
Follow teachers instructions, & the class is a breeze! Stay up to date on all the assignments.
I'm usually horrible with online classes because I'm a procrastinator but Prof M is so involved and gives instructions and feedback on a consistent weekly basis that you feel like you're in a real classroom. She doesn't give pointless "busy" work and she makes the material interesting. No group project and no book! Most organized online class ever
She is truly the best online teacher. Every week she post an audio selection of her talking about the course and is so nice. There is a discussion every week, but if you stay on top of it with quality answers the class will be a A for sure.
Best professor Ive had so far. Very helpful and nice (:
she is the best.
Dr. Zo is amazing! She wants to see her students learn and grow. Very communicative, very fair. Reasonable work load for online course. 2 part journal & DB weekly. 2 papers. Final exam. Understanding that we all have a different level of knowledge & interest. She wants work done, is flexible on timing when needed. Overall, GREAT professor!
Amazingly helpful if you've fallen behind. 2 week grace period for the condensed courses. Very sweet.
Very friendly, engaging, and helpful. Never wastes your time. How much effort you put into your papers will definitely reflect your grade. If you have to take ENC1101, I absolutely recommend Dr. Zo.
I enjoyed Dr. Holly Masturzo class. She was very detailed, involved and helpful. She graded timely and responded timely. I would recommend her class and will take it again
I enjoyed Dr. Holly Masturzo class. She was very detailed, involved and helpful. She graded timely and responded timely. I would recommend her class and will take it again.
Dr. Zo was great! She is an easy grader, but asks for a lot of writing. Good for feedback and self improvement. She give audio file instructions which was helpful. And keeping in touch to help you stay on track. She introduces a new way of writing-contemplative essay. I liked it.
This was an online 6 week course. Her virtual messages in reference to each section was so helpful for the material and she was extremely clear on what she expected on assignments. She provides feedback throughout all your submissions when necessary. You use the book a lot! She allows late work with a small deduction. Great teacher!
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! You will learn so much and you if you do the work you will get an A!
take her for all Humanities and English you will be sure of an "A". Lot of journal work, and essays, but an easy grader. I STRONGLY recommend her.
Prof. M's class is really interesting and fun. You have poems to read every week, and everyone in the class presents one poem. Two in-class essays that are pretty easy, then one research paper at the end. She is very understanding and gives awesome feedback. Genuinely cares about her students and knows that not all are English majors. & No tests!
I enjoyed attending professor M's class. Time flew by! each class I felt like I learned something new each class. She assigns three journals, 2 in class essays(more than enough time to prepare for) and a fun little project towards the end (plenty of time to complete). She is understanding and would take her again! Highly recommend.
Really nice woman. Asks for a lot of writing but the material is interesting and fun. I'm taking her for women's studies next!
She assigned 3 journals (with about 10 in each), 2 little projects (that are simple and enjoyable), and 2 in class essays, and then you revise one of those essays for a research paper. I didn't get less than a 90 on anything. She allows you to learn by participating. She almost forces you to be creative, which I had no problem with.
If you're really into Humanities and like to participate in class, take her. She loves what she does. But for someone who's just taking the class cause it's a requirement, skip it. The class itself is pretty easy and she's a very easy grader but there's a lot of annoying work and she expects the class to be like a dialogue.
Awesome professor, she really loves what she does which makes the class enjoyable. You have to write journals, but I hate writing and English and she makes it fun and enjoyable. I also love that she gives you personal feedback on almost everything you turn it. She also allows work up to one week late. You will always have updated grades too
Just take her! Do the work and you'll get an A
Professor Zo is super cool. The class itself is kinda simple and she makes it highly understandable. Either be at every class, or make friends in the class because if you miss class you must get information from classmates.
This class is about as easy as an online class can get. You don't have to buy a book which is a money saver. You have one discussion and 2 written assignments a week but they are very short. Art and history don't thrill me, but this class was more than bearable. If you need a humanities class for your degree, this is a good one.
I love Dr. she is such an amazing teacher. You will defenitley learn something from her class. She assigns journals, 2 in class essays and one of them you revise with research, and you have to do a paper on 2 films. The book read during her class was Persepolis; it was interesting and funny. Please take her class do the work you 'll get an A !!
Dr. Zo was AMAZING!!!! She did not require a textbook for the course. All of the reading material is online. She doesn't have any quizzes accept for the final exam. Gives great feedback . If you turn in hw late, all she will do is deduct a few points off depending on how late the assignment was turned in. Would DEFINATELY take again!!!!
Easy A, boring class
Discussions and journals every week along with 2 projects at the end of the semester. As long as you do the work you'll get an A. She's sweet and writes feedback on your work. I'd take her again in a heartbeat!
Took the online course and learned a lot surprisingly. It was a very easy class that didn't require much time invested outside of work. There's two projects at the end of the course that will require an hour or two of homework but that's about it. Great for working adults.
Dr. Masturzo is an amazing Professor. I learned A LOT in her Women's Studies class. She is very sweet and understanding. The class is not hard at all. I really enjoyed the class.
No book required, reading materials provided online. Course is very easy, just do the little bit of reading and submit the little bit of work you have on time. She just wants you to put some effort into thinking critically and analyzing the reading materials. As long as you do that and submit your stuff on time it is a very easy class.
Great! Lots of writing, but mostly analytical and self-reflections from assigned reading. Easy if you're a creative individual to begin with. Either way, great course and great professor!
In the 8 week class there are online journals due each week. 2 big papers (1000 words) and 1 group project at the end for the final grade which is easy and done in the classroom. I enjoyed this professor and would definitely take her again.
Try not to miss class. There will be Journal entries that you must complete. DONT PUT THOSE OFF. I found some of the coursework kind of vague. Be sure to show up for the in-class essays, those are worth 100 points each. Pay attention and COME TO CLASS and you should do fine. I missed some assignments, so I got a D in the class. Just do the work.
Great professor! Her class is easy if you do your work and you will actually learn something!
Very passionate about teaching. Keeps everything professional but also fun.
It was an okay class, and there weren't very many assignments. That's cool if you get an A every time but if you mess up bad on one assignment, it will bring your grade down for the whole semester since there isn't room to make up for it. She is really into group interaction and deep thinking, so you'll have to be outspoken in class.
Although I really enjoyed this class and the professor gave good feedback on essays and writing opportunities, I do feel like it was an "easy" class. If you want an easy A than this class is for you, but if you prefer a professor that is going to push you, I would seek elsewhere. Other than that, Professor masturzo was super nice and helpful!
nice but has no sympathy if you have health issues,death in family, gives no extra time and does not let you make up missed journals if you weren't in class.
Since it's an online class expect a good amount of work. Mostly consisted of discussions, journals, 3 quizzes, 1 cultural analysis paper, major figures report and final is a manifesto. Not really hard. You just have to read and the instructions are clear. I was looking forward to the class and it kind was stuff I already knew. Still good teacher.
Honestly if you don't like writing avoid this class she load you with journals and the worst part she doesn't give extra credit make sure to do the journals on time because she doesn't tell you when they are due until the last second. She is nice but sometimes if she's not in the mood she will not answer your question I don't reccomened her
I took WST2010 as a 7-week course, unknowingly, and then Irma happened. There was SO MUCH reading and work that I just couldn't get it all done and when I tried e-mailing her she was not helpful at all. She's an ok professor. If you're just a full-time student then you'll be ok. If you have any jobs, don't take.
Masturzo is honestly one of the easiest humanities teacher. There are 10 journals which are only page long and as long as theyre on topic, youll get a 100. You dont need a textbook and there are no quizzes, but some papers and projects. Love this class and her breathing exercises.
Honestly I dont recommend her she gets annoyed easily and do your best to stay on top with the journals because she gives out a lot to complete. Try not to miss class otherwise it will be stressful to catch up with the course.
Avoid at all cost she is not helpful at all and she responds late to emails not to mention that she doesn't like to answer questions even if you are concern i wouldn't recommend her for any subject
Worst teacher ever, she does not care if you understand or know the information because she will tell you to look at the syllabus insteading of helping you. She also responds late on her emails
The class was very unorganized and she was unreliable. Don't count on her support because she is suppose to answer any questions you have even if she already says it because she needs to show that she wants to help but she doesn't help at all. I don't recommend her
All she cares about everything done her way doesn't take suggestion. If your absent she will tell you to ask your classmates for missed journals. She does not give extra credit and doesn't care if you are struggling
Don't risk taking the class it is not self paced and you have be on top of everything especially the journal because if your behind it will be hard to catch up and sometimes she doesn't help you because she expect you to have everything ready
Do not take her at all costs. Rudest most unqualified teacher I have ever had.
She wasn't even a mediocre professor... to say she was awful would be putting it too nicely.
Caring? Absolutely not. She will take a bunch of points off your assignment but in the feedback box it will say 'great job' and nothing else. She never responded to my emails and when she did she was completely rude about it and acted like I was inconveniencing her by emailing her or asking her questions. Honestly, avoid taking her if you can!
Incredible professor and class, not difficult- just keep up with the work. She is very passionate about what she teaches and her students, you can come to her about anything related to the topic and she would be interested and gives great feedback and guidance,
Such an easy A for one of my last electives to take for my AA! I was worried about this class but as long as you do the work, she gives you a 100 if you meet the criteria and have a BASIC understanding for the material.
Class was fairly easy. Not a lot of work other than a few papers. Just if you put in the effort and show up to class easy A. Subjects we covered were very interesting and enjoyed the topics. Definitely recommend her.
Definitely do not take her online class. The work itself is not hard but I did everything she asked for and more and she kept failing my assignments. And when I reached out to her for help the never responded even after 4 emails. Would not take her class again.
Be aware!!! READ THE SYLLABUS for assignment due dates. Unlike most other online classes I have taken, Professor Masturzo has her assignment due dates a bit all over the place. Also, each module does not represent one week out of the semester. READ THE SYLLABUS!!! The entire class is writing and just a few tests, then three "final" projects.
AMAZING! Love her! She has a lot of required work but it does not take that much time. Even the times when it is consuming, i loved doing the assignments. They are so much fun and really eye opening. Such an easy going professor. Her classes fill up quick so be sure to get signed up quickly. (currently enrolled in class)
Absolutely loved taking this class! you do have to use the textbook but its no major reading needed
There's a bit of writing and critical thinking involved in the class but as long as you stay on top of it and do the journals/papers as she assigns them you'll be fine. There's nothing really hard about the class (unless you don't like writing or being engaged in the course) and its actually pretty interesting if you're interested in the subject.
Dr. Zo was very inspirational. She really cares about what she's teaching and it shows. If you don't come to class its not a HUGE deal, but you do get a participation grade where attendance is a factor.
Dr. Zo is amazing. She really enjoys what she teaches and she gives great feedback. She clearly tells you what is expected and if you follow directions you will do well. I enjoyed having her as a professor, she is very encouraging and a great person.
Great professor, I would highly recommend taking her courses.
Good professor but not one to take if you procrastinate. Shes very understanding and friendly but had to do 4 papers and 20 journals on top of that
Super easy. Took her online and all you have to do is beware of the deadlines and youll be okay. Never had a problem with her and finished with an A.
Stressful class.
Dr. Zo's class is definitely an interesting class. It's also an easy A. Do the work, turn it in on time, and you'll do great in the class.
Super super super easy. She goes by her rubric and grades fairly. The online 7 week class wasnt bad, the only thing I didnt like was discussions were due on Wednesdays instead of Sundays like Im used to. Weird but not hard. If you do the work youll pass!!
Do not hesitate to take Professor Masturzo. She is passionate about women's studies and respects your opinions and beliefs. Journals and discussions each week with due dated of Wednesdays and Fridays, four quizzes due by the end of the course, one presentation with subject assigned, one essay, one creative assignment. Very doable! Would take again.
I would not recommend her she is very rude & not to mention she gets annoyed easily do your best in the class if you have to take
Worst professor to take avoid taking her class if you can she is very tough on grades and she is not optimistic on helping. Your basically teaching yourself in this class
Dr. Zo is one of the best Professors I have ever taken. She is down to earth amazing and is always willing to help others and push them to be the best possible student. She is excellent with communication, and her class is overall relatively easy. I took her in the spring term of 2020, but halfway through the term COVID 19 happened, and she still
Take this class if you need an easy Humanities Credit! Dr. Masturzo gives insightful responses to assignments and you will pass as long as you do the work. Caring, friendly, easy, and the assignments were fun and interesting. A teacher who makes you want to learn more.
Took the 7wk humanities course of America 1900's and was bored out of my mind. Wkly journals with 2 parts, 6 discussions with replies, multiple projects, etc. I understand this is a college class for credit but how the material is presented and the work is so boring! Spent most of the time trying to decipher her exact expectations of assignments.
Easy A if you do the work..... lots of reading and small assignments due close together.... she is lenient with late work..... easy grader
Dr. M is a great online teacher, I took her class in a 7wk course and don't get me wrong there was a lot of work. 10 journals about 700 words a piece, 6 discussions about 300 words a piece, and 3 fairly easy projects. She is not a harsh grader and if you actually put an effort in you will do just fine in the course.
Does not always give clear directions. There was a paper due before class time, but she did not tell the class nor list this on her syllabus. She sometimes seems vexed when students ask her questions. When some students and I went to her office to ask a question, she looked disturbed. That being said, she is a good person and her class is too easy.
Took the America 1900's Era course. The material is what you would expect: Cultural complexity (Native Americans, Black Americans, Women's Rights, etc.), types of art (Realism, Naturalism, Modernism, etc.) and so forth. Journals are two part responses requiring at least 200 words per response and the final paper requires at least 3 pages.
Professor Masturzo was great! Get ready for quizzes every class, and lots of reading!
This professor puts a lot of work into her course. It's obvious she loves what she does, and she cares about the growth of her students. I enjoyed taking this class and enjoyed her online teaching style even more. I would HIGHLY recommend her!
Great teacher, easy grader! Do the work, and you will pass. She also accepts late work and does not deduct heavy for it. There is lots of writing, but it's easier then it appears. It seems like you are graded on your opinion, which opinions can't be wrong. If I could have her as a teacher for every single class I have to take, I would! Easy A
This was probably the WORST class I have ever taken. She was always very rude to not only me, but other students around me. She doesn't care about you and doesn't listen to your issues. You have to read a lot and do lots of work. She locks assignments and doesn't allow late work. She is never clear with instructions and gets annoyed when you ask.
Dr. Masturzo is an amazing professor. Her readings are interesting and educational. Her assignments and projects allow the students to get really involved with the Americas' inhabitants' history and reality. Get ready to be amazed!
So I recommend her class because it's easy, and she's very forgiving on grading if you're late (she gives you an extra week before it locks) and the assignments are easy and pretty much the same or they were for my class in Fall of 2020. I recommend her class for everyone, very interesting.
If you are not a fan of writing assignments, do not take topics in humanities. This class was a ton of writing, and a good bit of reading as well. She gives good feedback and is a fair grader. As long as you do the work you should be able to get an A. Overall I would take one of her classes again. Just be prepared to write.
I took the 7-week course, so there was quite a bit of work. But the topics are actually really fun to talk about! If you do the work and try hard, you will get a good grade in her class.
I took her accelerated online WST2010 class and I'm so happy I did! Assignments are clear, grading is generous Expect a lot of writing, however it never felt like too much. I took it with Anatomy/Phys 2 and another elective and wasn't stressed. I genuinely feel like I learned more real history in her class than I ever did K-12. Highly recommend!
There is a good reason why I have taken this professor for three classes now. She gives easy A's while allowing for thought-provoking conversations. There is a lot of writing in her classes, but they are always very easy. She is very caring and understanding.
She is very rude and don't miss class because the class is overwhelming
If you can take another professor do it because she is strict and if you miss class thats a nightmare she will tell you ask your classmates and its easy to tell that she doesnt care always frown
Avoid at all cost she hates to answers questions especially if you need clarification. I dont recommend her take someone else who has a better attitude
The class itself was boring and she overloads you with homework
Dont count on her she is not helpful, I dont see why she is a professor If she hates to answer questions you can tell she gets into a bad mood easily I would avoid and take someone else who loves answering questions as a joy than a burden
For this class your basically teaching yourself because she has a very bad attitude when it comes to asking for help its like she gets disturbed. Absolutely the WORST CLASS EVER!
Doesnt deserve a good rating very overrated if you ask me. I would avoid at all cost she is not caring at all I was shocked when I read she is caring quite the opposite if you take her youll see that she will get grump easily she shouldnt even be a professor doesnt deserve it
For someone who doesnt loves to help and gets bothered if you need something repeated because some people need she just annoyed and cant even answer questions with a joy if you take her ask your classmates for clarification because she is no help
Is very rude & cant even give a straight forward answered sometimes. I think she has mood swings because she gets upset quickly & even if she helps she does in a bad attitude avoid this class
Need to take Humanties? Good just dont take her unless if you have no choice trust me she neglects answering questions in a positive attitude but she is not negative. She is tough though so dont count on her support because she doesnt like to help
Not a good professor like at all no joke
No way Ill take her again you can tell she has no patience and gets into a bad mood if you need assistance
If you can take someone else take that chance because she is rude when you come up to her for help make no sense why she teach
Class was ok but to be honest it was a more of a self taught class it can be a struggle but dont expect anything from her she does not care turns out it true wish I wouldve taken someone else.
If you fail her class definitely do not take her again and if you never had her good because she seems disturbed if you need clarification she just expects you to get like immediately like as if you were a mind reader
Ehhhh not a great class extremely boring the learning was not fun
I had an awful time with homework she overloaded like crazy & only tells you to look at syllabus for when assignments are due
Avoid missing class the homework can be hard and she just tells you ask your classmates on what you missed like what is that
Glad the class is over I was overwhelmed I dont recommend at all
Do your best and expect a lot of work because it will happen and dont be surprised if you need her to go something to be go back and reviewed again she will be upset
Will not take again definitely not a 5 stars
Super strict at least she lets you turns in late but if you need to take Humanties take her only if you love the subject but in terms of taking it just because its required avoid her she wont help you.
Not a great class
Shes rude not only in person but in emails also. I was working on my journal with a classmate & told us to it keep it down like wow and is she doesnt have a joy to help. Do your best if have to take
Dr Zo is a phenomenal instructor. I took her HUM 2020 class online and it was great. She opened my eyes to many unsung heroes and that was quite an education. She gives great feedback and it helps to improve her work. Definitely recommend.
Very unorganized and isnt very good this is a must avoid class she has a terrible attitude and she cant even take a joke
Honestly she neglects on answering questions especially if you need clarification she just wants you to get it. All she cares about is getting her paycheck and is unorganized doesnt deserve a good rating very underrated top of that she rude save your money and take a caring professor obviously she is not
I didnt like the class she wasnt a good professor like at all and for someone who doesnt have a sense of humor sure does a bad attitude
This was a self taught class because your pretty much on your own and the work was overloaded the only good part she may let you turn in your work late
She is not a 5 star professor for me I would give her 0 stars absolutely rude especially in email she cant straight forward answers avoid at all cost
She doesnt care this class is uninteresting
I took a 7-week class. Two journals of 500+ words and one 150+ word discussion board are due on Wednesdays and Friday's @5pm. One essay is due the last week. It does not require a textbook but is recommended. Free online versions are available. Strict on plagiarism, so be mindful. Gives good feedback.
Absolutely the worst professor to take I missed a day of class and she just tells me look at your syllabus or ask your classmate it is a hard class and it is not a fun class to attend
I dont recommend her because if she cant answer questions with joy & a caring spirit then she doesnt deserve a good rating. Avoid this if you can if you do take her she wont help
Dont take her because she can in a bad mood most of the time and the work is a lot it will be stressful
Professor Masturzo is a great professor! As long as you do your work, you will do very well in her class. She cares about your grades and wants you to do well. In each assignment, she will give clear directions on how to do them. She is also very lenient with late assignments. She was a great professor to me!!
It was a pleasure to be in Professor Zo's humanities class. I learned a lot and she arranged the class in a way so that when you finish your writing also strengthens. She gives great feedback, complete your assignments thoughtfully and you will do well. The professor is understanding and very helpful! Do not procrastinate and you will have a blast.
Dr. Zo is a great professor. She gave excellent feed back to help assist you throughout the course. Allowed late assignments. I took the 7 weeks course. One-Two journals per week with 2 parts 250 words each, weekly DB, 2 projects, one analysis assignment. They're not difficult. Just do the work. More than fair grader.
took online but still felt like we had really good discussions. she gave lots of feedback and I felt like she wanted us to improve our writing.
I learned so much in this class. I appreciated her honest feedback and used those critiques to get better. Lots of writing ,but not difficult.
If you have a chance to change professor do it in her class she is serious and strict and not fun. The class is no walk in the park & dont count on her if your struggle she neglects answering questions
Dont fall behind she wont let you turn in work late and her rating is overrated it doesnt deserve to be a star rating and she is rude
She doesnt give a lot of assignments and she is a very nice grader. Very easy to get an A in her class if you just do the work. She is very nice!
Please understand what you're signing up for before you take Dr. Zo. This class involves a lot of reading and writing, so if you don't care for that, look elsewhere. Weekly journals require you to think about the readings. The museum & historical figure projects were pretty fun. Discussion posts are easy. A good instructor, but not for everyone.
Really kind professor who cares about her students
10/10! Modules were very interesting, assignments engaging & she is a generous grader on all, but the final paper. The assignments are prep/learning for final. She gives great feedback & it is clear she wants her students to learn. Assignments are not challenging, but do require thought & time. Will be taking her Women's Studies summer course.
teacher is greattttt. second time taking her and her work is manageable. you have about 2-3 assignments a week. as in a discussion and writing assignment. sometimes you have projects to do but they are simple and actually fun. also you have 2 essays to write. she provides a lot for the students. definitely easy to understand the class. easy a
Her Women's Studies course is definitely worth taking. She gets us involved in discussion and is open to what everyone has to say. She is very flexible with the assignments, while accepting late ones, only taking some points off. You will have to type about 200 words for each topic per week, along with two essays, and discussions. Very doable work.
Professor Zo is a great professor. Her class is very easy. The only thing I dislike is assignments are due every Wed. & Fri. at 5 P.M. Assignments are open ahead of time, which give you enough time to complete them. Just make sure you cite everything when writing your journals/final paper. She use turn it also. Take her you won't be disappointed!!!
Professor Masturzo is an amazing professor! I loved her class so much! She responds to emails very promptly and just communicates great with her students in general. She gives great feedback on each assignment! I am planning on taking her again next semester for HUM 2450!
I think that Professor Masturzo is a great professor. She is very kind, helpful, and gives lots of great feedback. The course is a lot of writing though. But if you try you should do fine, and she gives good feedback to help you improve.
This class was a complete nightmare and waste of time. Her instructions were unclear, response and explanation bad. Not sure where all the great reviews came from. And she is pretty moody
Professor Masturzo does not really care about feedback of her students.
Dr. Zo is an awesome professor! She gives good feedback and responds to emails quickly. If you do the reading then the journals that go with those readings, you'll do fine. The class content was very interesting from start to finish. Definitely recommend her class and would pick her as a professor again.
Best professor I've ever had! This is my second time taking her class (different classes), and she has been great all around, I have zero complaints! 110% would take her again!
Class takes place through chat on Canvas, no speaking, so be mindful when choosing her for this subject. Only one big paper at the end, but there are journals due every week, occasionally a discussion. You'll write a lot, but it's easy. Would sometimes take off 3-5 points and not say why, which made it hard to find out what needed correcting.
Absolutely loved taking this class with Dr. Zo. A very sweet and caring professor. This course was very easy and low-stress on top of taking more stressful classes. Journals are due every week, discussion boards every couple of weeks, and a final paper at the end. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone with a busy schedule!
This professor gets a 8/10 from me. Her class was very easy and her grading is very clear. When it comes to journals and discussions make sure you read her instructions carefully about analyzing art/artifacts. There was 1 play and a paper we had. No tests. Be mindful, you need to be a relatively good writer to receive good points.
She is a good professor and leaves good comments on papers, a lot of reading so if you don't like that then take a different class. Huge final paper at the end so make sure you study and work for it because it counts a lot towards your final grade, overall valid teacher.
Be prepared to write, write, write. There are discussion posts and journal entries every week and two major papers and you must be very in depth with your writing. If you do not like analyzing artifacts this is not the class for you. Do not forget to cite your sources both in text and out, she pays very close attention to those citations.
Dr Masturzo was super nice and her assignments were somewhat time consuming but they're super easy. There's no tests and there's only 2 essays.
I learned a lot in her class! If you are interested in this subject, you'll love it! The material we covered was always thought-provoking and interesting. Weekly 250 word journals, discussions, final creative project, and 4-6pg analysis research paper. Strict on late points, but pretty easy and very fast grader. She is really caring and nice.
Do your self a favor if you do not like to overwrite about topics find another class to fill this elective. You will have a paper every week in her class. Again if you do not enjoy critical thinking writing lots of reading you will be stressed getting her course work and your other classes done at the same time. Look up your teachers before please!
This class is not suitable for students with Type A personalities. There was no textbook, so each week had random articles, documentaries, and hundreds of PDF pages that sometimes didn't correlate with the writing assignments. Dr. Zo also belittled her students many times in one lecture and made their work seem insignificant.
The professor was very nice. If you're taking her class online, be prepared to do a lot of self-learning. There is a lot of reading but she makes assignments interesting if you're truly interested in Women's studies. She's a great professor who truly cares for her students. She does strictly follow the syllabus
Lots of writing.
Dr. Zo is phenomenal! A lot of reading and papers but she teaches in a way that is very intriguing and informational. You won't be bored in this class. Gives great lectures and grades fairly.
Second class taken with Dr. Zo and my rating remains the same - 5 stars across the board. Gives amazing lectures and if you're interested in learning women's history, take her class. Very informational. She teaches great - you will have a lot of reading and homework, but she grades fair and gives plenty of time to complete it. Would take again.
There are so many writing assignments per week that if you have a job or other classes, you may find it difficult to find time to get them done before her 5 pm due dates, which I find very insensitive considering people are paying to take the class, she says to do them in advance, but a lot of people just simply don't have the time so be warned.
Dr. Zo's class has a heavy writing load, but using Unstuck study ai alongside the readings can make it manageable. Grading is clear, and she's helpful when you engage.
Amazing professor, she truly cares for this subject and for her students. She accepts late work and only wants to see you succeed. There were many homework assignments, and they are do-able; and she is willing to work with you and help with any questions or concerns. Communication matters, 10/10 would take her again.
Lots of reading and writing. There are a few discussions, but each week is a journal analyzing artifacts and one 6-8 page paper at the end which personally is not appealing just because it's not a primary course. She is responsive and understanding with good communication and has a late window for turning in work. Coursework is overwhelming!
Dr. Zo is okay for me. She can be intimidating at first but she slowly softens as the semester goes by. Lots of writing and analysis involved in the writing assignments which eventually accumulate to a research paper. She does give some tips and tricks on improving your writing and analysis skills.
I have taken this professor for multiple courses at FSCJ and will always recommend her. Always takes passion in her teaching which is rare to find. There is a lot of course work but it's impossible to fail unless you genuinely do nothing. 100% suggest you take her for a course especially it's a topic that interests you.
Great professor ! Very clear in what she expects, understanding when life happens and things are late. I wish all online teachers were like her.
I took Dr. Zo for PHI2010 (Philosophy in the Humanities), and I think it was a fantastic course, but I should warn you that if you're not particularly keen on lots of reading, writing, and analysis, you may have a difficult time. The coursework can be overwhelming, but she has a 7-day late window, and she is generous with late point deductions!
If you want an A, don't
Very nice and understanding, and is very passionate about her subject
While the Professor is very thorough on what her expectations are, you will need to read the material and do the work, she expects hand written assignments to be completed throughout the semester. She provides detailed instructions, and has a one week late policy which can be helpful for busy lives.
Straight-forward class with straight forward coursework. Definitely involved lots of writing, but once you find your rhythm the class goes smoothly. Very generous grader and great teacher overall.
