Comment:

I have taken his Survey of US history class a couple of years ago and remember that the class is taught almost all by lecture, so you have to pay super close attention to be prepared for daily/weekly quizzes and one midterm and one final. Overall, nice person and keeps his students engaged with lectures.

Absolutely a genius. Probably one of the best lecturer ever. I was so blessed to have the chance to take one of his class in his last semester in FJC. Much respect for the guy.

First of all, I'm 99.9% this guy is a legitimate genius. His lectures were all my memory as if he was telling us stories. of course, they were accompanied by a very clear study guide. unfortunately, he retired...

I took Professor Douglas for Honors history 170 and 171. Hes a great lecturer and makes the class interesting. Class consisted for three exams and one essay. Hes a tough essay grader so beware of bad grammar. Do the study guide for exams and you will pass.

Comment:

This class was awesome. I picked it because I read that there is no homework or projects. Only downside is you have to do well on quizzes (1 a month) and tests (midterm & final) in order to pass. I actually enjoy history so the lectures were interesting to me. Show up, ask questions, read the book. But I will say the 2 tests we by no means easy!

One of the most inspirational and entertaining prof. at FJC! At 8am, lectures kept you on the edge of your seat, as though you watched a movie. This was his final semester at FJC. Thank you Prof. Douglas! Not only did you teach history clearly, but taught important life lessons along the way! Much respect!

Fantastic lecture. Just listen to his stories in class, and you'll get most of the tests down. His lecture includes humor so it's always fun to have a good laugh in class. Please don't skip, because you'll miss out a LOT! Three tests consists of 100 multiple choice, study guide is provided before each one, and one essay by the end of the semester.

Comment:

His lectures are amazing; its like listening to a good story out loud. However he has no structure to his lecture so he skips around and doesn't cover everything that will be on the tests. There are 3 100-question tests that are hard but he gives big SG. Fill it out during class and w/ book. One 5-7 pg essay that is difficult but he grades fairly

Comment:

Prof. Douglas is my favorite professor at FJC. He lectures daily, but his lectures feel more like stories than lectures. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about history, which makes all the difference. Show up on time and fill out the study guides and you will do well in this class. There are only 3 tests and 1 paper, so dont procrastinate!

Super hot! Academically: amazing and engaging lectures! A lot of note taking from the moment class begins to the end but if you show up and listen it's a super easy grade.

Comment:

The most amazing history class I've ever had thanks to him. He's an amazing storyteller, and is incredibly engaging. Only 2 tests and a paper, just show up to class, listen, take notes. He sent us weekly mini SGs for the quizzes and had two big ones for the exams. And the cherry on top... he's not so bad to look at twice a week, either.

THE BEST TEACHER I HAD AT FC. This class will completely capture you guys! Prof. Douglas lectures this course as a real story and makes you even wait for the next class to know what's next. He has a huge knowledge in history and will really inspire you. The tests are all multiple choice and straight forward (STUDY!) This class is a real eye opener!

If you love history, you will love Douglas. If you hate history, he'll make it easier on you. He loves history and his job and it shows. Lectures are amazing-- he tells history like a story and challenges what you've learned since grade school. Tests aren't bad, and he gives a clear, exhaustive study guide. Only points are the tests and one paper.

Comment:

He's not that bad, but he's not the best. His lectures can be fun , but they can be boring as well. Tests are hard (if you don't pay attention) so make sure to take good notes otherwise you won't pass. Missing class isn't a good idea either because he doesn't really slow down to let you grasp the material.

Comment:

I never thought I could ever learn just through listening or stay interested for a four hour class (once a week), but he taught me it was possible. He's such a great professor, really funny. Print out the study guide and bring it to class, fill it out as he storytells in his lecture! The test and study guide are exactly the same, just study that.

Pure lecture.. which he does a fantastic job at. You really stay involved while he talks because he makes things interesting. TAKE NOTES. If you do not take notes you will not pass the tests. Do the study guide questions as they are almost exact to the tests. No homework which is nice.

Comment:

Professor douglas is amazing i took him for hist 170 and 171.i loved every minute of his lecture. He does not use notes or powerpoints just talks and tells the story of history. He is a must if you take u.s history. Didn't really use the book. Test questions come directly from lecture so don't miss! Ask lots of questions if you dont know the answer
