Comment:

This guy has got to be the most boring teacher i have ever had!! The entire class is falling asleep, and the other half is on their phones. I dont really reccoment this man by the fact that its the hardest thing to sit through a lecture. Im a history major and love history but hate this class with a passion! He does know his stuff though.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!Every week you are assigned a discussion and critique,which are both easy, but based on length and useless for the tests. The tests consisted of strangely worded questions, few were about the general idea of the chapters.It is impossible to get anything above a B on the tests & he does not respond to emails.

Comment:

I took him online the discussion board posts and the critiques are killer but it helps make sure you read the chapters. The test however are terrible very little of the test questions are the main focus of the chapter it nit picky stuff on the questions so you have normally bad test grades and you dont have a current running average.

Comment:

this is a very easy class. He gives the test questions and the test essay. All you have to do is memorize the answer's and you have and easy A. That said he is very monotoned. He will put you to sleep but he doesn't mind. Can be funny at times but you have to pay attention to get the joke. You don't need the book everything comes from his notes

Very thorough and clear. Follow the directions and read the text and you will get an A! I took his class online, for 2 semesters, and he ran his class the same way for both classes. He's very consistant. Due dates never changed.

Great Teacher! Plan on staying the entire class period, but literally gives you the answers to the tests. There are 3 tests, and 3 homework essays. All of the material is online and you will not open the book once in class. I totally recommend Dr. Carden!

Super easy. Puts 100 questons online and uses 50 of them for the MULTIPLE choice tests. He grades the essays fairly easy as well. He's just really nd really boring most of the time. I'll take him again!

I had him for 1301 and 1302 online. The online class was great. If you take him in person write all his notes and you will pass. Online have a highlighter and read and you will pass. You really don't have to put much effort. He tells you what is expected if you do that your in great shape.

He lectures for the entire class, but can always make it interesting. If you pay attention, homework is easy. Great teacher, always eager to help.

The lectures are boring, BUT he tells you almost everything that will be on the test. Tests are half essay, half Multiple Choice. I am actually taking him again for Hist. 1302.

If you take history, take it from him. He's a really smart guy and it shows through in his lectures.
