I really do like this teacher a lot. Hes very funny, very likable, and this is just a great class to take. Its sad to know hes retiring because anyone would be lucky to take his class. History can be a very boring class, but he made it so enjoyable.

I took Dr. Jones for History 1. He gives four tests and gives out a review sheet at the beginning of every quarter. Between his lectures and review, if you fail his class, its your fault. The essay only tests can feel intimidating but but he gives you the tools to get the job done. I would and have recommended him to others.

The grade is solely based on your 4 test grades and attendance. The tests are all writing & he only lectures so its important you pay attention & go along with the review for each test, take good notes, & attend class. I enjoyed his lectures and felt like I truly learned history because I needed to pay attention constantly & I only missed one class

The best teacher known to man. His cocky eyebrows are known to be deadly in a good way. He is one sassy boy and does not take any attitude.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Took him for history 1&2. His class is challenging, however he actually makes History interesting! Love him! He's hilarious and so very intelligent. I would take his class over and over again. Take him! You won't regret it.

Really entertaining and engaging. Gives reviews for next "learning experience" the next day after a test. If you don't really care about history I suggest taking his class. You'll find yourself enjoying the class. Lose points if late(after name called for attendance) or no show

Very knowledgeable and entertaining lecturer. Attendance is graded. Tests consists of short answer (who, what, where, when, etc) and essay only. Test review is just a list of terms. Not for the faint of heart if looking for an easy history credit, but good teacher.

Dr. Jones will provide all essential information for tests and assignments during his lectures which are FAST & DELIBERATE. Show up on TIME, take DETAILED NOTES, and be able to answer essay questions this class should be no problem. DON'T be afraid to ENGAGE in Discussion right or wrong it'll score points. He is TOUGH but FAIR.

Comment:

Peter Jones is absolutely brilliant. He gives very thorough explanations and provides observations about the US. He allows you to truly learn and think. However, it's like taking an actual university class. The tests are your only grades and you MUST completely memorize 12 pages of notes to make an A. I respect him and would love to have him again.

Comment:

This class in short summary: An old British professor who's expectations are quite too high, yells randomly to make you pee in your pants, gives you only four chances to make a grade, tests are ridiculous, conservatives are ignorant apparently, Hillary Clinton is Queen of his Hearts, and good luck Chuck.

Professor Jones is one of those rare teachers that ultimately KNOWS what he is talking about(He has a doctorate in History for goodness sake!). His lectures are wonderful , I love to hear him talk although, there's a lot of things you should take notes on. Remember that if you decide not to read the textbook. Prepare to take his class serious!

Worst professor I have ever had at TJC. You are only tested over an essay question and key terms he selects out of the chapter. You then have to have all the information he wants to see in order to pass. Does not lecture very well, just rolled around in a rolling chair all semester and YELLS.

Love love loved his class. He is so much fun to listen to, he tells you what you need to know, he gives you reviews before the test and is helpful if you ask questions. His test are all ONLY ESSAY AND SHORT ANSWER, they are the hardest thing I have done, but I managed. He is a tough tough grader, he has high expectations and nothing less.

Comment:

Mr. Jones was one of the rudest, most sarcastic professors I have ever had. He starts every class by discussing a controversial topic and then pushes his views on the students, which tend to be very liberal. His lectures are boring, and the tests are pure essay questions. No multiple choice. Although he does give you about 12 options for essays

Comment:

This professor is great! No homework except to study for tests. Tests are all writing. Don't let that scare you. You only have to write a few paragraphs over 1 of 2 prompts and one paragraph for each 5 of the 8 identification questions. His lectures are great! It's like he's telling a story. He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Fun class
