Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! Very confusing and all over the place kind of teaching. His teaching is to give you 2 different textbooks and watch you tube video lectures-which he states not to pay too much attention to! Tests-essays on 450 pages of info but no specifics The "reviews" for the quiz/test are paragraphs and can't relate to the texts.

Comment:

Nice person, not a good teacher. Forgetful, unorganized & hard to follow. Textbook is useless. Study guides are just a bunch of vocab words. I dont even have enough space to tell everything thats wrong. Just avoid if you can. This should be an EASY A but i settled for a B+ with WAYYY more effort than need be for a friggin history class.

Very boring and mono tone. Rambles on about the information yet doesn't seem to stress the important things that are needed for the test. Mostly overhauls the whole topic.

Comment:

He is almost impossible to reach via email which is annoying considering the class is online. He will respond to one email which may take a few days to get a response. His class was so easy one homework a week and 3 tests for the entire semester. His only tests are easy and so is the homework. I recommend taking because of how simple the class was.

Comment:

Took his class online, very confusing to say the least. Syllabus timeline is unclear, quiz directions are unclear. Midterm is timed, most of the students didn't get a chance to complete the MC part. I want to say that this class would be an easy A if his instructions were clear and if the midterm wasn't timed.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Very confusing, due dates are not clear, the syllabus makes no sense. He gives you 50 questions to do in 40 minutes for the exam. The directions for the exam are horrible.

Took Western Civilizations. Didn't reference the book too much. Gets off topic easily. Hard to understand accent. Pay attention to the review! Alright guy but not a good teacher.

Comment:

Took online course. He outsources the lectures to videos someone did years ago. His notes are horrible, terrible spelling, pieced together. He gives little time during testing. Impossible to get it all done. Doesn't respond to emails, EVER. The only thing HE actually does is grade the exams and screw you on your final grade.

Took his online class and what he expects from you is extremely confusing and difficult. His tests are ridiculous (45 questions in 35 mins) and 3 essays in 75 mins (plus identifications) I suggest dropping his class immediately if you have the luck to get him.

Comment:

Took the online course. VERY unclear with directions and assignments. Grade is based on 3 online exams and participations in weekly discussions. Never answers e-mail questions. If you read and teach yourself from the textbook it is an easy course but if you are not self-disciplined do not take his online course.

He is very difficult to understand while talking, but his class is incredibly easy. Just had to write a paragraph summary once per week on the information. I would suggest learning from the textbook though if your going to take his class.

I never ever want to have him again and I recommend that people don't take him. If they take him then they are wasting their time and money. This guy does not even teach, all he does is keep talking about different topics.

Took the WebCT course. Disorganized and unclear with instructions, Prof. Popovich fail to respond to your question in a timely manner and when he did finally respond the answer mada no sense to the question you had asked. I would not recommend this class unless you have no choice.

Comment:

This professor is very knowlegdable but it would be nice if he could communicate well enough to impart some of that knowledge, Communication/language barier is a serious handicap to his ability to instruct. The only people who suffer are the ones who wait in hope that they will soon understand him and then lose their money by the time they realize.

I took the online 101 course and Prof. POPOVICH was great. He was clear with what he wanted and how he wanted the work done. I wish he would teach HIS 102 also.

Took the WebCT course. Disorganized and unclear with instructions, Prof. Popovich reminds me of a teacher running down the clock til he retires. Communication took FOREVER, and when he did resopond, he just reworded the syllabus without clarifying. Test questions were overly detail driven. Only take if you can teach yourself and memorize well.

I took this class on webct and the questions were challenging but in the end he really helped me out. He answers emails ans returns phone calls not a bad professor.
