Comment:

Professor McRee would literally respond one word to any questions I had during the semester. I finally just gave up on asking questions because they would not be answered anyways. He takes forever to grade papers as well so you really don't know how you are doing in this class until he decides to do some grading. I would not recommend!

Comment:

Professor McRee is a very hard grader, his online quizzes are confusing and the answers are unclear in the readings he gives you. I asked for extra credit and he was very rude about it. I feel like he doesn't work with his students at all. He is strictly by the books.

Comment:

I chose to take professor mcgree because his ratings werent too bad on here but taking him is a whole different story. He is a very tough grader and very slow at grading papers. He gets off subject more than three times each class to talk about his experiences and throws a fit if you dont pay attention in class. Like literally throws a fit

Mr. McRee managed to take a mandatory class like History 1301 into one of my favorite classes of the entire year. He might get off topic a lot and drags on for a little bit too long, but he always sticks to the outline and discusses everything you need to know in a way that will always keep you interested.

If you want a great professor that gives clear lecture and gives examples for you to relate topic with, take Mcree. Hes hilarious, not a tough grader at all, test are easy as long as you take good notes and study well, no tricky questions, do the quizes on time they will help your grade. 2 papers, 3 tests final is the third. Final is new material.

I took Professor McRee's History 1301 class and admired his teaching style so much I decided to take his follow up 1302 class the next semester. From experience, I can say his classes are to the point and entertaining. Lecture begins right on the dot & ends when scheduled. As long as you attend, pay attention and take notes, you'll pass with ease!

You really need to listen to his lectures and take lots of notes because their are no power-points, or test reviews. Some of his lectures were very entertaining, but a lot were hard to pay attention to.

I took Professor McRee online and absolutely loved it. He's a very prompt grader and sends messages to remind students about certain due dates. He is also quick to respond to e-mails.

My friend recommended this class for me because of my busy schedule and I just finished the 5 week online class and passed easily. The work is manageable; 6-40 question exams, 5 short answer quizzes, and two essays.

Mr. McRee is a very good lecturer and is very insightful. I really enjoyed his class, but I did not like his song analysis papers, because I never understood what he wanted. I still enjoyed his class though very much and would take him again if I could.

Handouts are on BB. As long as you study the handouts you should get at least a B. He sometimes lets you use index cards to write down any notes used during a test. Gets off topic often. 3 exams, 10 reading quizzes, 1 common assignment (article analysis), and 1 movie-historical analysis.

Comment:

This is honestly the most stressful class that I took this semester because of the problems with everything in this class. I emailed professor McRee about issues that I had during many of the assignments and test; but he would not reply back to emails and that is really frustrating and stressful teachers don't help the students! DO NOT TAKE...
