Richard McMaster

I get better grades in my STEM classes. His grading is a joke. He yaps for an hour and barely gives enough time to do the activity after. Would not recommend.

This is the second time I've had Richard as a prof and honestly, it was far better than the last time. Ryan (his GA for this term) is nice, enthusiastic and gives fair feedback on assignments.There are in class participation activities but you only have to do 7 out of 10 which is reasonable. The assignments were also fun. Would recommend!

He is an excellent prof, be aware that his TA's mark kind of difficult though. However, he is very willing to answer any questions and genuinely helps. If you follow guidelines and go a little above and extra im sure the marks will be good.

Just do good on the assignments, easy marker

Dr McMaster is a really nice guy. His grading is certainly tough, but the other workshop TAs are not easier. Following the rubric helps, but he will pull random things(that are valid) to dock marks from you. His workshops are cute and talk about a variety of communication topics but aren't mandatory. If you ask for help, he will certainly give it.

Good human but a strict prof. He told me that he won't give me an A+ because no one can ever get perfect on a Communications course which is such bs. Be careful when taking him because him and his TAs are very strict on the rubric Evaluations: • Weekly quizzes - 10% • Assignment 1 - 10% • Assignment 2 - 15% • Assignment 3 - 30% • Assignment 4 - 35%

Follow the rubric, but if you can, avoid him at all costs.

This course focuses heavily on assignments. Paying close attention to the criteria for each one will help you achieve a good grade. Take advantage of the professor's office hours for valuable guidance and advice.

A lot of people are complaining lol. The same people never did office hours with him or actually did the readings either. The professor is good, and his rating should at least be a 4/5. He gives advice on how to increase your grade on an assignment if you go for help. His D2L discussions tab was helpful, too.

Gives space and room for a mark booster. Good prof
