Comment:

If you take this class Don't skip and Take every extra credit opportuinity. First test I got lower than a 40. You will learn a lot. Read all of your books. Your notes will help you. Hate fill in the blank questions. Be specific in your papers. Don't summarize content summarize structure and relatability to other books read.

Comment:

he talks so quietly hell put you too sleep and he heavily focuses on slavery adn not much on other aspects of american history. Hell get off topic, he cant use technology so you cant expect your grades to go in blackboard. His tA grades everything. His tests are matching, fill in the blank and essay form and he make you do a long paper.

Comment:

Awful professor. His lectures are pointless and you learn nothing. Only gives tests and one paper the entire semester. He grades the papers as hard as he can and does not give good feedback. The teacher assistant does all the work for him. You cant even contact the man about your grade, you have to talk with the TA about your grade.

Comment:

This man does not teach, he does not give lectures, all he does is ramble on from one subject to the other with no correlation. You have to read the textbook and his tests are hard everyone usually fails the first one. on top of this he is a harsh grader, its hard to get a good grade but not impossible, I have a B in the class but it is tough

Comment:

THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! PERIOD! I read the Rate My Professor reviews and I was like who cares I'm a really smart kid. I wish I listened to the reviews. He talks softly and it's so hard to hear him. Does not stay on topic at all, I kid you not he talked about fried chicken, how he can't eat pork, and football 85% if the time!! Stay Away

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS MAN. I read the reviews, and I was like "psh, whatever. how bad can it be?" This man must expect us to read his mind because I do not know how else we're expected to pass. The exams are ridiculously hard and he gives no clues as to what will be on them. He rambles during lecture, and hardly stays on topic. AVOID HIM.

Comment:

i didn't think he was horrible- but what frustrates me is that he doesn't know how to use blackboard, for one, and that he also is bad about getting things back to you (sometimes my fault, sometimes not). during class he also just ends up rambling a bit. i like to say i agree with his opinions, but i don't want to hear them at 9:30 am.

Comment:

HE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! He doesn't actually teach you anythinghe just kind of rambles on about whatever the heck he wants. In his mind he probably makes sense but to the whole class he sounds crazy. There areonly 4 grades, 3 test and 1 essay. On test it's like he wants you to read his mind on what he wants on there but most fail.

I've been in this class for about 3 weeks and I've learned nothing all he does is talk for the entire class. He doesn't know how to use blackboard and expects you to read like 100 pages and know everything for the tests on your own.

Comment:

ECU - how is this man still teaching? What a waste of my money. I read the book from front to back and still did terrible on tests. Only one person out of about 25 got an A and everyone else received 50's and 60's. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT take this course unless you have no other option.

For the love of god, do not take any class taught by this man, especially if you are trying to maintain a good gpa or a gpa in jeopardy. He will ruin it like it's his only source of happiness. There are 3 exams, i have yet to see anyone make above a 77 on one. I only passed because he's such a slow grader that he missed the term deadline by 2 weeks

Comment:

I would not suggest taking this class unless you already have a good knowledge of American history. He rarely lectures (he tends to ramble), and does not do a good job giving basic historical information. His tests are difficult and are frequently not on material covered in class, just on material from the book. I didn't learn anything from him.

Comment:

Dr. Dennard is easily the worst professor I have ever had at ECU. Dennard has a tendency to go off topic VERY often. He talks about racism constantly and does not teach. The tests are impossible even the book can only help so much. I pay tuition to learn about history not to hear a man complain about racism and occasionally talk about history.

Comment:

He does not know what he is talking about in the class. There is no blackboard for this class and he does not check his email. If you want to pass you must read the whole book and study on your own. He will not answer any questions or tell you what material will be on the tests.

Comment:

Very nice man, and he means well, but he never stays on topic.The test are an overall easy makeup but Dennard doesn't let you know what you should be studying so you'll never be prepared. you kind of have to listen then read the book front to back each time there's a test and study every little thing because you never know what's on the test.

Comment:

David dennard cannot teach, so if you don't mind teaching yourself history, this class is meant for you. I personally think that if I'm paying a university to instruct me on a subject, I should get some level of assistance from the professor. I ended up tuning out Dennard's ramblings about nothing, and just reading the book during class.

Comment:

Terrible Professor do not take him His tests are brutal which I would not mind if he actually taught and maybe gave us hints on what would be on it. 6 chapters and no mention of what to study is unfair. He talks about racism way to much. I have taken other history classes and done extremely well this one he does not allow it DO NOT TAKE HIM

Comment:

Dr. Dennard is very nice, but he gets off topic ALL THE TIME. His powerpoint lectures rarely have anything to do with the required reading. I'm a History major, and I would NOT recommend taking his class.
