Comment:

Took him in Summer 16 for 3100 and again in Fall for 3930. Would recommend to anyone. You need to be a great writer by contextualizing topics in the scope of the course's history (all of it) in order to get the A. Only in that regard is it a hard class. You're there to learn, and he will teach. Also, he's so damn cool.

Cool teacher. Grading system can be whack sometimes but you'll pass. He does lecture but when hes done you can leave, he usually finishes 15 minutes before the ending time for class so you do get out early from time to time. He Loves YAMS! but I dont recommend bringing them to class, he thinks American Yams are a joke.

Took Walker for Summer B to help with the History minor. Not only did I learn way more than I thought I would about Africa, but I loved his teaching style. Most lectures are discussion based - he's supportive of all answers given and weaves them into questions for the exams. If you liked Michael McConville, you'll love this guy (he taught for him).

Interesting lectures, but I never seemed to manage higher than a B- on his tests no matter how hard I studied. Got lots of points taken off for lack of participation so speak up in class.

Dr. Walker is a great professor, but just not for me. I am not interested in African history what so ever. It was the hardest thing to do to stay awake in his class. If you are interested in this subject take him if not DO NOT DO IT!!!!!!!

He made the final OPTIONAL. Yes. You read that correctly. Walker is from Nigeria, and very passionate about his history and beloved African yams. Just kidding, but really. He loves the things. Easy A for any student who's decent writer. His tests weren't bad at all, and the books were great, easy reads, which everyone should honestly read anyway

9AM came early, but Walker made it worth it. His lectures are second to none, riveting, and his passion radiates off his smiling laughing face. I took his history of Africa to 1870. Never cracked a book, though I am very good at Sparknotes-ing. Easy-easy A, IF you're a good writer and participate in class discussion. Overall a Top UCF professor.

Love him. One of the best professors I have had here. He was very bubbly which was nice in a morning class. He loves teaching and it shows. If you study the tests aren't too bad. He is so sweet and funny. If I needed any help or clarifications he would answer right away. Definitely recommend. I would love to talk another class with him.

I've taken a class with Dr. Walker before, and I'll do so again if I can. He loves his students very much and takes great pleasure in them learning. He's a hilarious guy who gives interesting and engaging lectures. Participate in class, give thorough analysis of the primary documents, follow his study guides, and you'll do great and learn a lot.

I took the honors world history class he teaches and he was pretty goofy. Very understanding when I had to miss class for work purposes and basically handed everyone an A. If you can read a short document and write on it and memorize the answers to the tests THAT HE GIVES YOU then you've got your self an A or A-. Don't buy the textbook.

Dr. Walker is one of the nicest and most enthusiastic professors I have ever had. Most of his lectures are interesting, and he gets the class involved in discussions. As long as you go to class and take notes, you will be able to get good grades on the tests. Although the tests can be challenging, he is pretty lenient with grading.

Comment:

His enthusiasm for the material is still most palpable. Fantastic speaker. Fair in grading. All I recommend is that you be sure. It looks interesting in theory but I found it dry, inconsequential in practice. It lends itself only seldom to contemporary arguments or discussion among friends. More akin to trivia. Kola nuts!

Best teacher I've had at UCF! Dr.Walker is so passionate about what he teaches you that it makes you want to come to class. Gives you review sheets for each tests and the final is optional. Take his class if you can! So inspiring.

Great teacher, from Africa so he has been to many places that we talk about. Two books you must read and in a closed book in class writing assignment, he grades pretty easy. Gives great reviews for test, test are short answer, mc, tf and 3 essay. he gives essays a few days early and will tell you the key points to answers. easy and you can learn

Comment:

Professor Walker is by far one of my favorite professor. He took a subject I wasn't previously interested in and changed my mind. He is extremely nice and will help with whatever you need. The hardest part of the class in that all exams are written in class. Provides major points though. I am excited to be taking him again next semester!
