Hardest online class I have ever had to take. Assigns about 200 pages of reading and then comes the dreadful test! 50 questions in 50 minutes. I ended up dropping the class.

Comment:

I took this class online. The tests are too hard. You are given a copy of the lecture notes, but maybe 20 out of 50 questions on the test are from the study guide. you must read the book. he will give you an outline to use. I would definitely recommend filling out the outline to study from. I will probably get a high C or low B. I get A's.

He is a little boring but it's history soo...... 4 tests and a final (and he drops the lowest test grade) and everything on the test is mentioned in his lecture. people that fail this class are also the ones who never show up for class.

Comment:

DO. NOT. TAKE. Why didn't I read Rate my Professor BEFORE I took this course? I'm a great student, learned US Hist 1 very well, but nonetheless barely made a C. Why? Well, missed two quizzes because the deadline was at 6:30 am in the MORNING! Also, many test questions aren't in the assigned material at all- so you must guess the answers.

Comment:

I don't understand why everyone on here complains about him. He gives you an outline to follow while he lectures. Take good notes & study your notes. If you do then you'll pass! His tests are easy. He's kind of a nerd. Beware of the "In your professor's opinion" questions. Don't be late though because he starts exactly on time.

Comment:

The entire course is based on exam grades. Exams that are only open for 1 day. I'm not sure if I'm alone in this, but don't most people take online classes for ease and accessibility? I prefer online because my busy lifestyle makes it difficult to be held down and confined to physically attending class. Shouldn't have to call into work for an exam.

Dr. Story is a kind teacher who is interested in the success of his students. Listen and take notes in class and make an appointment if you need extra help.

Comment:

Teacher will never communicate with you, until the day after you missed an assignment. Only to say that you missed the assignment not to offer you any chances. Online tests are usually due at random times like 0900 am instead of the usual 11:59pm like normal online classes. The test questions are poorly worded. You will fail this class.

Comment:

Do not need book! Tests are difficult to study for because there will be questions with "according to your professor's opinion..." Test will be from lectures and those are hard to follow because he jumps around (chronologically) and follows rabbit trails. ONLY GOOD THING about him is that you will get your grades quickly. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Comment:

He's a nice guy but his lectures are hard to focus in because he literally just stands there and talks. His tests are pretty random, he gives you an outline for each unit but they're pretty vague. The online quizzes don't do much to your grade. He says to read the chapters but there are only like 3 questions about anything in the book on the tests.

None of his tests come with any reviews. None of his tests take any material from either the book or his notes. Nothing is in any kind of order. His deadline dates he gives you are due at 6 AM the morning of the day he gives you, so in reality, unless you are up before Six in the morning, they are due the night before.

Comment:

He never sends out announcements. His tests pull from his lecture notes... those notes look like he wrote them as fast as he could. They're full of typos and a lot of it just doesn't seem relevant. If your internet cuts out mid exam, the exam will submit automatically and you'll get a too bad so sad from him.

Comment:

Unecessarily difficult course! Long and confusing oral lectures that DO NOT reflect what's on the tests. Extensive reading you have to memorize just about everything, he gives no reviews or study guides. Most of the class received a C or D and more than half ended up dropping! He tells you he will drop lowest test grade but never did so he lies too

Comment:

Pay attention to the lecture and take good notes off the lecture and the unit outline during the lecture and you will do good. I honestly didn't read at all and passed with a high B studying my lecture notes alone. Definitely would take again.

Comment:

Very boring lectures. Tests seem to be much different than what he lectures on. Takes participation grade for going to class but otherwise you're better off just reading the book. The silver lining is half of final are exact questions from previous tests which he gives back to you. Can say I did learn some history but my grade did not reflect it.

Comment:

Worst teacher ever. I'm going to be getting my degree in history and this guy just messed me over big time. You better like art o Ya be prepared to learn from a book that he doesn't issue you. He gets mad when you ask a question during his lecture. No PowerPoint everything from his notes. If I can save one person I have done my job here.

No visual aids such as power points, slides shows, prezis, or anything. You have to read the book otherwise you will not pass. So boring. The tests are 50 questions and are very hard. Good Luck!

Comment:

He's very nice but his class is so boring! I dozed off a couple of times and the test are really hard. All you do is listen to him ramble on, and if you don't read you'll fail. I ended up dropping his class. So not worth it!
