This guy is a great teacher I took two classes with him last semester and I am taking another one with him this semester. Don't wait take a class with him now because he is probably not going to be teaching much longer.

Comment:

Great professor! Nice guy, really smart. Attendance is mandatory but if you go to class it's easy to get an "A". Watch out for the big paper you have to write (12 pages). He rambles a little but he always brings it back to the topic. Great teacher!

Comment:

I took 2 of his classes (Philo & World). He sparked my interest in history. His encouragement, support and engaging discourse in the classroom not only caused me to change my major to History, but to become a History teacher myself. I encourage all to take his course. He will challenge you to think outside the box. Thanx Prof! Andrea 1998-2001

Comment:

I liked the guy. Yes, he was quite boring. Yes, he tended to ramble on about insignificant things. But I learned a lot and I liked him. His tests are actually quite hard, but as long as you take decent notes you'll have an A. He curves up tests nicely.

Very boring class but he gives you a good idea what will be on the test. Watch out for the LONG paper you have to write, but he grades it pretty easily and even nominates you for awards.

Really nice guy, always there if you need help from him, but, his grading policies are a bit unfair at times, and he exempted people from the final who had gone over the given amount of absences.

He made what was already a dry course even worse, and he talked alot about victorian furniture and how you could write a paper on it. Only take this class if you have trouble sleeping, he will put you right to sleep!

Professor Carman is one of the most valuable resources Hudson Valley CC has to offer. He is knowledgeable, friendly and more than happy to help any student. I took 2 classes from him and recommend him to friends. HVCC is fortunate to have him.

Philo 100, West. Civ, honors class...believe me, if I could have taken another class w/ Prof. Carmen, I would have. He's the reason why I'm a philosophy major, and why I started my philo. masters this year. Thanks for everything!

Professor Carmen was definately one of my favorite professor's. He was clear, helpful, and challenging, but not overly demanding. His class was the most well organized and professionally managed class I took at HVCC. :)
