Comment:

This professor is ok I guess, Even if you read the chapters and study the test are still hard. The question on test are worded differently. He doesn't give you a 2nd attempt on ANY assignments like the other teachers do. He is a tough grader. Unfortunately for me I had no choice but to take him he was the only class left open. Good Luck

Comment:

He honestly kinda terrified me? I took him at 8am and he put me to sleep. I'm sure if you like history it can't be that bad but for me a piece of paper was more interesting. He doesn't tolerate any fooling around and yelled at someone for asking about a Scantron. The test reviews were accurate and there's not a lot of grades.

Took Professor for History 1301 and 1302 during the summer online. Basically read chapters and quiz! one paper due as the final but tells the topic early. Syllabus is on point. Easy A for me both times!! Textbook required and tells you exactly what pages to read and what is on the test.

If you can't make it to class on time don't even bother showing up or taking his course. He will make a huge deal about it. Have to use the bathroom or leave the room for a minute? - DONT BOTHER. He will call you out on it and make a huge deal. He lectures the whole class time and goes over and will not let you leave! AWFUL "teacher"

He is responsive via email and fair grader. You will need to read the chapters as his test and quizes (for online class) were not the ones you can look up. If you don't like to read then his class isn't for you. I can say that by reading them it has increased my knowledge and I am greatful. Good professor.

Not a good professor at all. Did not have clear responses when emailed. Little to no help was given by him. He did not give clear instructions on an assignment, which caused me to fail the class. Will not meet up with students.

Comment:

Horrible educator. Taking an online course and it is strictly from book with absolutely no notes given to guide students. Exam questions are made of passing details you will not notice in this very dry textbook. Instructions for the online exams include not books, notes etc; ignore these instructions if you want to pass.

WORST TEACHER FOR NIGHT CLASSES! You will never know which chapter you are on, he likes the sound of his voice. Don't ask questions because he will look at you like "how dare you stop me to ask a question"! He is just awful, he may know a lot about history but he acts of if some of it is not true. And put too much of his opinion in it. Repeats alot

I had to leave five minutes early so I could get to my next class because it was across campus, and he threatened to kick me out of his class. He is very sassy. Don't ask questions. Bring your textbook and read it in class.

His class is easy to pass. He only gives 3 quizzes and 3 exams. Take notes in class or use the textbook, whichever you prefer and study. He explains the subject clearly. He is not a bad professor. Just show up to class. Its not hard.

Comment:

The professor drones on about things not related to the test. Gives tests over several chapters but only covers one in class. Constantly repeats himself and the information presented is unclear both in significance and actual historical accuracy. Does not take questions, if questions are forced he won't answer them. Will occasionally be derogatory.

Comment:

This was one if the easiest classes I've taken at San Jac. Over a whole semester you have 3 tests, 3 quizzes, and 3 short "essays". It's really not hard. I took him for both 1301 and 1302. I have no clue what all these people are complaining about. I'm not wonderful with history and I made an A in both courses.

Comment:

He is very unclear in his lectures. Gets off topic for everything and he isn't concerned about his students. He will talk for the entire hour and 25 minutes. Doesn't ask if you have any questions. His test are nothing compared to his lectures. Puts a picture of a map up but tests have no maps? very difficult.

He was the worst teacher! None of what his lecture was about was on the test, if you have to take him don't listen to what he's saying, just read the book.

Lectures are unorganized. Exams are over 5-6 chapters, which are not all discussed in lecture, with only 15 multiple choice questions.

This professor does not help at all. Doesn't give reviews, lectures do not go along with tests, extremely boring and studders way too much. READ THE BOOK. Focus on key points. Ignore everything he says because it isn't helpful on tests. He's a smart alec and shows it to everyone. Take a different professor if the option is there!!!!

I TOOK THIS TEACHER ONLINE AND HAD TO DROP HIS CLASS. HE IS NOT HELPFUL AND MAKES HIS CLASS EXTREMELY HARD. WHEN EXPECTS YOU TO REMEMBER 8+ CHAPTERS PLUS HIS LECTURES FOR QUIZ/TEST. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CLASS AGAIN BUT WITH A DIFFERENT HISTORY TEACHER. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
