Comment:
Pretty simple class. 3 essays, research(4pg min), midterm(3.5pgs min), and final(4pg min). He doesn't specify on what type of font to use, just has to be size 12 and double spaced, so take advantage of that. If you don't put deep thought into certain things your score will suffer. Too much reading form the textbook.

TERRIBLE PROFESSOR! . DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR AN ONLINE FLEX TERM COURSE!! HE PUTS DUE DATES ON CANVAS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ACTUAL DATE DUE. WHEN YOU OPEN ASSIGNMENT, IT SAYS IN FINE PRINT THAT YOUR ENTRY IS ACTUALLY DUE 5 DAYS BEFORE THAT, BUT YOUR RESPONSE TO PEERS IS THE DUE DATE ON CANVAS. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.

He is a good professor but he makes you work for your grade. I would take him again since he is passionate about his job. But he doesn't give the greatest feedback and some of his assignment are difficult to understand. This class takes a lot of thought and reading. Do not take him if you just want to breeze through the class and do nothing.

I took this class online, he gives way to much work each week! All you do is read from the book or watch his boring videos that are an hour to get through! Every week you get an assignment, a discussion, which then you have to comment on other peoples posts, which to get credit has to be 5-8 people. Makes you write essays that need to be 4-5 pages!

Professor Cary gives amazing feed back on every paper you submit & really wants you to understand and better understand Mythology. I completed the class online & for a flex-term but would highly recommend taking his class to anyone. He's knowledgeable & genuinely wants you to pass! I don't see how anyone can fail his class, he makes it so easy!! (:

I took this class online for six weeks and I actually learned a lot more than I expected. The class consisted of multiple essays and after a few weeks it became pretty tiering. I don't find myself to be the best writer but I received an A on every assignment so DO TAKE if you feel the same way. Just put in the time and effort and you'll pass.

Take this professor, it will not be an easy A but if you work in the assignments, discussions and papers, you will make it. Class is very interesting, some of his videos are 55 minutes long, take notes, and use them for your papers. No exams, just a paper for midterm and final one at the end of the course. Very good professor.

Mr. Cary is a great teacher and an amazing person overall. He is very passionate about what he talks about and doesn't "lecture" his students, he talks to them about how he feels about what we're learning. He rarely gives homework but when he does, it's doable and interesting work. Anyone who takes his class will have a great time.

He is so passionate with everything he does, and he truly cares if you understand things or not. This class is super easy. He assigns about 4 papers, which are easy and good topics, gives about 3 discussions along with a midterm (not hard, i got a 98%) and an end of course exam (NOT ACCUMULATIVE). You won't regret choosing him!

Donald is a good teacher who really wants you to pass, but the Texbook is a joke! The Textbook has nothing but stories, if he wanted you to write about something you'd have to do a lot outside research. I had the class ONLINE FLEX START but it was still a lot of essays that needed to be from 3.5-4 pages long. Respect the man, just not the class.

Did the 8wk course and was not difficult. The papers the professor request are not long, it's the thought process and getting all your information together for the paper is what's difficult, and responding to 10 classmates on discussion board. Overall, he gives lots of materials to get your information and is helpful.

Prof Cary is simply amazing. He is so passionate about his work and really makes you see the world differently. He is by far my favorite ever. He will work with you if you don't quite understand something and gives you plenty of time to get the homework done. Seriously amazing, would take him over again.

His class was like a full time job. I know its a flex class and everything but people have jobs and have other classes. It was way too much writing and work.

I enjoy reading and writing, since this is a GR class I thought it would be a good fit. However, he took points off of assignments and papers, but only gave positive feedback. No real indication of how to improve my writing to his standards.
