Overall interesting guy, interesting material and lectures. Make sure you memorize the handouts and read the books. Your test grades will show your progress and will ultimately be your fate in this course. Pass the two part midterm and final! Each quiz is to help you memorize material, not to change your grade. Make flash cards!!

Comment:

If you take this class be prepared to listen to him lecture the entire time, taking notes is a must if you plan on passing. His definitions and his answers are the only thing correct for his quizzes and tests don't stray from the information given to you. His tests are based completely off the quizzes, so make sure to keep them.

Comment:

You really dont even need the novels. If you use the handouts, memorize the -ism definitions, and study off the quizlet you will be fine. The only thing is if you dont write the answers word for word on the quizzes he will mark you down.

Comment:

This course is basically a lot of memorization. If you don't study, especially what he tells you to study, you will not pass. He offers extra credit to replace your lowest quiz scores, which happen once a week. Everything you're quizzed on is from the course packet, pictures from the book, and lectures. The quizzes are your study guides.

No HW, Quizzes almost every Week, SPECIFICS and MEMORIZATION, Takes attendance, anything not covered in lecture isn't on quizzes/final, Lectures are sufficient to pass but highly recommend course packet and book, Know your definitions (-isms) word for word! Must do 3 cultural participation events, Great office hours so don't be afraid to see him.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I would not recommend this class to anyone. His lectures are extremely boring and you have to pay attention to every word he says because his quizzes are based on lectures and stupid handouts that have way too much information that you don't even know whats gonna be on the damn quiz. Quizzes/midterm/final is all thats graded

Comment:

Also had for HUM 3000. Expects much out of you. His motto is literally " You get what you earn." This teach is not for the faint of heart. Lots of paper given out, however, focus on studying key times, names, and facts, in his course packet and you'll get an A. He tells you what the key items are, so only works if you focus.

Comment:

Never read a single book, I just read the summaries on SparkNotes. Quizzes--provides info packets for every book w/ ideas & terms you need to memorize--make sure you know the packet & you're good. Quizzes don't matter--only got a couple A's, mostly B's & C's and I got an A in the class--only things that count are the midterm and the final.

He's a tough grader! gives quizzes every week, but the good news is that he may or may not count those quizzes bc the exam questions are based on the same exact questions on quizzes. The quizzes are your best studying guide. He really knows what he is talking about and classes are more like story time. you really do gain a lot of new information.

Comment:

To pass HONS 1010, you need to READ. A lot. He likes to assign a lot of reading. Basically, write down everything he says, and memorize it. Study the handouts. He gives quizzes every week, and he uses the questions from the quizzes for the midterm and final. Memorize the questions (and their answers), and you'll pass just fine.

He is a tough grader! I have never received a grade lower than a B on all my short responses and essays. On his tests and quizzes, he wants everything word for word. If you do not want to spend 3+ hrs trying to memorize some handouts and tons of vocabulary words, I wouldn't recommend his class.

Comment:

I love Dr. Webb. His dry humor made his lectures both informative & hilarious. He'd dismiss class early. The class dynamic was clear: we'd read a book, he'd lecture about it the following classes, then we'd have a quiz on the material. Quizzes were based off the lecture and handouts he made. The final literally consisted of all past quiz questions.

Comment:

While he is straightforward with what he wants from you, he is an impossible grader. No constructive criticism. Very negative towards students and their work. Answers to his quizzes/tests must be precise or you get it wrong. Unnecessary specifications on papers that have nothing to do with the content. Would not recommend his class.

Professor Webb it's a very particular individual. He is a very tough grader, but if you work the way you have to, he will give you the grade you deserve. He is fair professor and I love the way he expresses his ideology. All my respect to him.
