Comment:
He's a great person, very helpful but one of the toughest graders when it comes to reading your work. Classes are interesting and it's worth paying attention. Take as many notes as possible because the final is cumulative. Read the books he assigns because reading quizzes are common. Also keep track of your syllabus in his class as well.

Truly a great guy. Super tough grader. 2, 5 page papers for the class. Reads each paper 3 times before giving the final grade. A bit nutty but definitely would recommend. Reading quizzes boost your grade. Final is cumulative essays

Hes a really smart professor and is really passionate about his job and what he teaches. You have to read the book in order to pass quizzes, which are once a week. The papers are honestly really difficult and he's a tough grader as it is. The final is tough because it's 3 essay questions based on material from the whole course and he doesnt review.

As a person Professor Gorman is great. Always willing to talk and help students with anything they need in their life, not just school related. Class is interesting but he is an EXTREMELY tough grader. Be prepared for the reading quizzes, they're easy if you read and a good way to boost up your grade (you're gonna want it trust me!)

Just had him for HS 310. It was a required class but I did really enjoy it. Helpful guy--good teacher. Will make you work but it was worth it. Willing to go the extra mile for students if you need help.

I had the honor of taking Professor Gorman this past semester. Great teacher. I always enjoyed going to class due to his enthusiasm for teaching. He is a tough grader but you'll enjoy the class. Make sure to read the textbook because you'll have a reading quiz almost every week. Also read the books thoroughly for papers.

I had Professor Gorman last summer for HS 310. DID NOT want to take the class but it was a requirement. Went into it dreading it. It was the BEST course I have had at Monmouth. He is challenging but he really made me a better writer, and is one of the most caring profs I have ever met. Never seen someone who loves teaching so Much. DEF TAKE!

Gorman's class is more on the difficult side if you're not a strong writer. He reads each essay 3 times and leaves notes ripping your work to shreds. but he is really passionate about history and he forces you to stay awake in class. He's a little bit of a nut but he's a good professor. You can't skip any classes with him.

Had Prof. Gorman for HS 310 this summer. Was my first summer class ever and I was nervous going into it. It was one of the best classes I have ever had at Monmouth. He was a great teacher and really cared about how we did and was always there to help. Funny and really knows his subject. Awesome guy. I highly recommend him.

Being that this is a WT class grades are based on your writing. With that being said Gorman can be harsh grader. This school makes "worthless" classes WT on purpose (ethics and HS310) to make it challenging and Gorman makes sure that is the case. Take an adjunct or someone else for this class. For the love of your GPA you'll thank me.

Anybody who would rate him poorly is just sounding like sour grapes. The guy is a great teacher. I had to work hard but got an A-. He is demanding in what he expects but he is very fair. He gives extra credit option as well. Enjoyed the class immensely. Those who would complain are probably just afraid of a bit of work. I loved him.

Tough class and professor. The final was impossible as you are flooded with so much information throughout the semester and most of what was taught was useless in preparing for it. Papers are also very difficult and Gorman was harsher on my papers than any other prof. I've ever had, including English Professors. Class was way harder than necessary.

He's a great man outside of the classroom; As for in class, he took something that I was passionate about and made it loathsome to go to his class. Does not do a good job at relating Economic Theory to history, and goes way to fast through the years, often omitting key historical events. Always keeps you late and very hard to please on papers.

This is the high standard of a professor. If you are a slacker and take up space, this is not your guy. If you want to take the best class ever at Monmouth sign up for this one. Love em

Such a wonderful man. He might seem a little hyper 1st time but he grows on you immediately and can amaze you with his knowledge. He is not a partisan political professor and gives you an honest historical take on any side. He also cares a lot about his students and, although a difficult grader, gives helpful feedback and allows for extra credit.

I had Professor Gorman for HS 310 a year ago. He was a great professor. Takes a genuine interest in his students. In class, he really knows his stuff and is passionate and obviously enjoys teaching. Truly cares about his students. Always available to help after you have him. A great prof. Def recommend him.

Had Prof. Gorman for HS 310 last spring. Really the best professor I have had at Monmouth. Loves teaching and you can really tell. Helpful outside class. The guy really knows his history and economics inside out. I loved the class and it also helped me become better at writing. Really cares about his students. Highly Recommend!
