Comment:

There is so much extra credit in this class is was able to finish with a grade over 100% there is a lot of mini pop quizzes but they don't carry much weight. There is also a few tests, quizzes, group projects, and papers. Sometimes felt like a music/art appreciation course. Should be easy to pass if you try. He has his own 'book' of online material

It was good. Not my easiest class, not my hardest. Subject was interesting (most of the time) and prof gave different ways of thinking about it. Liked the class.

Wasn't that interested going into the class, but I learned a lot more than I expected. The info you need to do well is all provided. Exams are not a problem if you prep well, and he gives you what you need to do that. For major assignments, he shows you in class exactly what you need to do.

As long as you show up to most of the time and show up for tests and quizzes you will get a very high grade. Don't let the two essays scare you as long as you try he grades easy. This was definitely the easiest teacher I've ever had. He just wants you to try then he'll help you succeed.

Comment:

This professor gives youth exact tools you need in order to pass, all you have to do is bring in common sense and an open mind. He is a tough grader, but that's only because he wants you to apply yourself the best of your abilities. If you're a slacker, do not take this course. He does not play around.

Comment:

Best class I've had. A couple of written assignments are a challenge, but no more than most other courses of this type (english, history, govt, etc). Professor pushed me to consider questions I hadn't thought of before, and that I'll continue to think about in the future. If you're in college to really learn something... yeah, this will do it.

Comment:

This class was one of my toughest classes of the semester. If you take this professor be sure to do his hybrid course (online and in class) I found that a lot of the way he organized things were made more difficult than they needed to be. I am still confused as to what this class was all about. Tough grader, confusing class.

Loved this class, learned so much. No textbook , all material is digital within the course. Expectations are clear. Heavy on discussions, 2 major projects, can repeat quizzes for study and improve grade. Exams are straightforward. Extra credit available.

Comment:

I thought he was a pretty decent professor. He can talk a little too much and be wordy at times but overall he was a solid professor and responded to emails and concerns in a timely manner. I took him as a hybrid class, and although humanities was boring to me, he seems passionate. If you read the unit material, you'll pass. I'd recommend him.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS/PROFESSOR! He if BORING, Talks and is very dramatic during his lectures, which makes him even more boring. He never stops talking and goes of topic with random movies and examples. Save yourself money and time and DO NOT TAKE HIS class. On top of everything else he is a tough grader.

Good class, if you're looking for a "stretch your mind" type of class. Very clear on requirements, assignments and due dates. All the info you need to do well is available. You'll have to write a little, but classroom discussions prepare you for those.

Comment:

he is awesome! the lectures are very straight forward and there wasnt a lot of homework. he lets you take the quizzes online so you can easily get an A. there are a couple projects, but they are open ended and simple. The tests are easy if you study the powerpoints and online quizzes. there are also in class quizzes that require outside reading.
