Comment:

I was reminded to write this when I saw him riding a scooter down Johnston Str et. Hs a gem. Seems like as grad students we have terrible options. Carriker is really good but seems on the outside of dept politics. So we dont hear as much as we should.

Comment:

I truly dislike his fashion sense and his glasses are ridiculous to say the least. Whoever dresses him should be fired. Cannot stand it one more day. Calss is great though if you can overlook the clothing choices. Whatever, I guess he dont get paid to dress. Oh, and next time move it to the sense. Please. Good glass.

I cant believe Im saying this, but Im going to take another history class next semester because Carrikers was so good. Always hated history but I sorta get it now. My grade wasnt very good but it was my fault for not following the study guide and I missed 6 classes. More is less in some cases.

I can't beleive how much I enjoyed his class. It isn't difficult but it is fun. he makes it fun for sure but you learn too. he shows how history is connected to current things and even down to the personal level. so I may take another history class but even if not this one is great. so take him is what i recommend.

This was my second attempt at passing this class. The first time I had the most boring professor at UL and this time I had one of the best. I wish I went to a school where there were more professors who were passionate and enthusiastic about teaching us. There are too many who are boring and full of themselves. Dr. Cariker is great. Take notes

Hes got an strange since of humor and can seem aloof but he offers a lot of insights that really makes me want to learn more history. Three tests including the final and no quizzes or papers. He takes attendance with a photo. Not a fan of that.

Hes good but it is totally unreasonable that he wont let you go to the bathroom during class. Im an adult and if I gotta go I gotta go. Let us relieve ourselves when needed!

He definitely has an odd and intense since of humor. He makes the material fun and is the most engaging professor at UL. I could listen to him for hours (oh wait, I did) and I could watch him for days (oh, wait, I did).

I don't know how I ended up in his class but I'm glad it happened. He seems to go off on tangents but sometimes I think it is with a purpose. Anyway, take lots of notes they are your path toward and A!

The class is basically you show up, takes notes, take tests, and thats it. He will lecture for how ever long the class time is and will just talk until the time hits. NOTES TO PASS!!! He doesnt use moodle, taking notes is the only way to pass. His tests are mainly essays and a few questions. TESTS ARE THE ONLY GRADES. Make sure you study hard.

Such a great class. It was project based and I was worried at first but he pushed us to do our best and provided amazing help and support. Hes not your regular history teacher and that is a good thing.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is very in-compassionate and does not accommodate to students with disabilities' needs. He makes the students compete by ratting each other out for points.

So funny! Tests are essay so make sure you write everything you know. He does not use the textbook. He lectures, but tends to go off topic A LOT. He loves to call people out and is really petty at times. He has good stories and gives you possible essay questions before the test! I would take him again!
