Comment:

This guy is horrible at communicating with his online classes, his due dates that he puts on the assignment don't match his actual due date. He will go a week or more without posting any assignments then will randomly add 3 and make them due on a Saturday or Sunday. Let's be real, you are not grading them on a weekend either. Just make it a Monday.

Comment:

Class is all posts. Textbook can be useful, but I don't like it. I used internet sources, but the some of the ones he gave out are opinionated. He did allow us to turn in our posts late and wants students to turn them in late instead of not doing them. No lectures from him and I think a few audio posts. Just internet and textbook.

Comment:

This class was the biggest waste of time. The entire class was watching videos and answering questions on the video. He gave SO many handouts. Every video had a multiple page packets of questions and for every individual we studied he printed out their whole Wikipedia page. The exams are open note and our term project was extra credit.

I took him this summer online I was very scared to take this class but this teacher is the best teacher I ever had he is so easy. He posts HW and he gives 2 days to turn it in. He is very organized and help his students pass his class. He gives extra credit at the end of the semester. Overall I totally recommend this teacher because he is easy.

Professor Dinwiddie is a very nice man, the class was easy. All you have to do is show up. Don't take for granted how easy and straightforward the class seems, because if you don't show up and take notes (or answer study questions) you won't have any material for exams. He lets you use notes for unit exams. I'd definitely take a class by him again

Professor Dinwiddie was a great teacher. Even though I took this course online, I would highly recommend this teacher. The syllabus is clear and there are deadlines when each discussion board is due. He does give you a good time period to complete the discussion. Be prepared to give insight, you will learn from other students.

He's an awesome teacher and helps each student individually. Not many teachers out there who actually do that.. I recommend him! His class is very interesting and gives you a good insight on life based on what/who you're learning about in his class!

Comment:

While this class is very easy to get an A, keep in mind that he is not very clear in what he wants and you will be usually left figuring it out. Also, he likes to post discussion boards on Fridays that are due on Monday, which is a HUGE pain when you think you have finally finished. Very inconsistent and don't buy the book. Never used it.

Hes a easy teacher for a grade. You can do your study guides in class with discussion with everyone and you can use your study guides on the test. It was boring to me at first but its actually pretty interesting if you try to listen. I got an A its was so easy and hes nice.

AWESOME TEACHER! He has multiple jobs and teaching is just one of his many. I respect his grind. The class is easy if you pay attention to the reading. There's no tricks and he gives out a lot of extra credit assignments. Super nice teacher!

Comment:

Mr. Dinwiddie's class is easy! He basically gave handouts from wikipedia throughout the whole course and we would have exams based on that. If you do the study guides he hands out then you'll do good on the exams. Only bad thing is sometimes it's hard to find the answers to the questions because they're too difficult to find.

Very understanding. May be hard to find what he really wants. Class was based on discussions where you can learn from other classmates.
