Comment:

Easiest professor I've ever taken. Attendance is mandatory and lectures are rambles BUT before each exam, he gives you a review guide that are the exams VERBATIM. Memorize them and you'll make an A each time.

Comment:

Bring a pillow! Incredibly boring teacher who reminds me of a war general. Constantly drinks water every few sentences, counted 97 "um's" in 5 mins(because I was so bored and he says uh/um so much.) It's a shame, I love AMH and was really pumped for this class, now it's honestly hard to stay awake in and I've never slept through any classes before.

Do not recommend buying the book because it as very unnecessary. Just study the study guides and the papers to get a good grade.

Comment:

Total grade consists of 10% gordon rule essays(5), 90% tests(3). Random attendance is taken for extra credit, offers a presentation on a historical event for extra credit as well. Gives study guides and holds review sessions for the study guide and tests are the same questions as the study guide only multiple choice and slightly altered. TAKE HIM

Comment:

The class itself is easy, but attendance was required and random (he doesn't always called attendance). Extra credit was available and he gives reviews before exams. My only complaint is that he failed to give me my extra credit points, giving me a B+ instead of the A- (I was .6 points away)

Comment:

Professor Goffin is the BEST history teacher at UCF! Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives extra credit when he decides to take roll. The tests are pretty easy and he gives a review (with all of the test questions) before each test. You will have to write 4 2-paged essays, but they are super easy. He also offers a lot of extra credit work. Easy A

Comment:

He is the easiest history teacher at UCF. He has a chapter introduction powerpoint that he reads off of. Then has key terms that he goes over that are important in the chapter. There are 4 Gordon Rule papers and you receive a 100 if it is at least 500 words. He gives a study guide before the class that basically is the test. LOVE HIM. Recommend him

Comment:

Dr. Goffin is great ! He makes it almost impossible to get less than a B in his class if you are willing to put in the effort. His Gordon Rule assignments are 4 papers of 500 words that if completed you receive an automatic 100. Test reviews are the test, so study those. I HIGHLY recommend him and i have nothing negative to say about his class.

Comment:

This class is an easy A, not one to stress about at all. Dr. Goffin is laid back, adorable, & funny. Only 4 papers assigned & all you have to do is turn them in for a 100. Test reviews the class before the test tell you everything you need to know. He offers a lot of extra credit, attendance being one form. I highly recommend taking this class!

Comment:

Dr. G is a great professor! I took this class for summer A and he made it a breeze. He has reviews the day before his tests and if you study the review you will do great on the test. He offers extra credit and gives extra points if you are there for spot attendance. I highly recommend taking him if you want an easy and caring professor.

Comment:

Very easy class. The study guides at the end of each cluster of chapters is all you neeed. Just attend the review days and it's the same as the test. Four papers due, but is very lenient on material and easy topics. Goffin is funny and interacts with the class. He really knows his subject.

Comment:

Dr. Goffin is the cutest old man ever! His class is so easy, including the tests. There are four papers that he tells you about at the beginning of the semester & if you turn them in, you get 100%. He posts a review sheet before the test and goes over it in class. Those questions are basically the same ones on the test. Spot-check attendance.

Comment:

Alvin Goffin is an oldie and is so nice. You would think his class would be hard but it's actually pretty easy. On webcourses he gives you key words for each chapter and a review that is basically EXACTLY the test. You have to write like 3 papers but if you do it, you get a 100. He's a sweet guy. Take this class and laugh at his jokes.

His class is very boring, but the class is so easy. If you write the papers you get 100 and he does a test review for the test and the questions come exactly from the test review

Comment:

I love Alvin Goffin. Best teacher I've ever had. His lecture is kind of boring, but you dont need to pay all that much attention. He gives out study guides that contain every question on the test so as long as you do them, you are fine. The writing assignments are SO easy. Plus, he's an old guy, but hilarious. Best class I've taken in a long time.

This is not a hard class if you go and take notes and study for the tests. He is kinda boring and somewhat of an idiot. I argued with him alot in class about current events. I consider myself to be good at American history and only got a B.

Comment:

Professor Goffin is great. If I have the opportunity to take him again I will. I am a history fan, but only to a certain point and Goffing was perfect for what I like out of history. He covers the important stuff and ignores the little facts that nobody cares about. He has four tests that are easy if you do the review. I would advise taking him!

Comment:

I hate American history, but I loved this class. He made it interesting for me, and he's very easy to understand. I've never used the book, because everything he asks about on tests are in the lecture. Attendance isn't mandatory, but a good idea. Spot checks for extra credit. I highly recommend him.
