Comment:

The course was all lecture, you take notes and participate in class and you read the chapters and then you take a test. There was one paper that he gave months notice on and was more than helpful with if you had questions. He was fantastic and really made learning ancient history fun for me. I honestly enjoyed it.

Comment:

Professor Webb is one of the best professors Iv'e had. He is most definitely the most understanding and flexible. I took his online class because I work full time and he was very flexible with exam dates and is very willing to work with you about your grade. I really just think he wants to see his students successful. His exams/sa are very easy

Comment:

His class is honestly one of the worst classes I've taken. He never grades anything, and his "study guide" for each exam is a vague list of a 150+ things that you have to know about. So you have to just take a bunch of notes and hope you know the exact thing that he asks on the exam. And if not hope you can google on your phone fast since its timed

Work was very standard. Easy to get good grades if you use the study guide. Responds quickly and willing to meet with you if you need extra help.

Comment:

He took the time during attendance to actually ask how we were doing. He really cared about each student. His lectures were interesting because he would use examples for almost each scenario which helped me understand and learn the material better. I did have to study outside of class, but it was worth it. He is among the best professors i've had!

I really enjoyed this class. I thought it was too easy and I wasn't doing enough work. He was very clear in what he expected of the students and he replied back to emails promptly. I would take a class again. He even allowed me to redo the very first posting because I didn't do so good.

He's a very nice teacher but the class was too hard for me. He graded a few things. The test were too hard I literally studied 3 hours and still passed the test the test was very detailed. It was 4 test and paper, no homework.

Comment:

As long as you did the scheduled readings, did the homework posts, and used the study guides; tests were more than reasonable. The final was cumulative & a combo of 2 past tests & new material. Responded immediately to emails, so that made communication great. Posted grades within the week of tests. Great teacher! Definitely take him!

Ray Webb was a phenomenal professor. I had him a few years back for Mid-Eastern history. Great guy, intelligent, high energy all day long. He cares about his students succeeding, but will not once hold your hand. His class isn't hard if you read the material and participate in discussion.

Comment:

I loved taking his class. His lectures jump around a bit, but if you put a box around his tangents, they make logical sense in how they're presented. I loved sitting through his lectures. He's very clear on what you need to know for the tests, he gives you a sheet with all the topics you may need to know. He genuinely cares about students.

Comment:

Dr. Webb was such a fascinating teacher, and had an unreal amount of energy at 8 a.m. He is knowledgable about such a wide range of historical subjects and is able to distill even the most complicated historical events into an understandable format. Would definitely take him again.

I am now in my second class with Professor Webb. If you do not study his tests are brutal, but you can use them at the end for the final. You also really need to read the book and the notes. Would keep taking him if possible.

Mr. Webb is awesome! Beware though, he does have a bad side and if you are on it this class will be very difficult for you. He is super funny, made Mid-Eastern History interesting. He gets distracted during lectures from time to time. Tests are challenging but not difficult if you study what he puts on the study guide. Awesome history class.

Really great teacher, he is funny, and keeps everyone entertained. However, he only grades the tests and a paper. The tests are super hard, and doing bad on the test can make you fail the class.

He's amazing! Funny and very confident in his teaching. I wasn't very interested in the topic but his tests are straight forward. Does tend to wander into off topics but it's very entertaining. Totally would take another one of his classes. 5 stars for him!
