The Class I had with him was pretty decent, all I did was take notes and listen. The teacher also went through every question on the exam so if you attend his review you should be prepared. However he was a little bad at hearing, so if youre trying to ask a question speak up a little bit and raise your hand.

Overall had a wonderful experience! Can sometimes get side tracked during lectures. Just stay through the class and you'll be fine. You'll have a higher chance of getting let out early if everything was covered. For the exams he will go over the answers, all you have to do is arrive on time, write them down, and memorize. There will be EC quizzes!

Hes a really nice guy but if you like handouts, one on one time with your prof, and asking questions, you should look for a different prof.

Best teacher I every had! Such as sweet man. Gives out so many extra credit quizzes!! Theres only 4 exams, (which he gives out all the answers during exam review), one history paper, and a couple summarizes. Overall a great class, highly recommend!

Awesome Prof. Easy A as long as you attend class. Very neutral without bias which great for history. Makes every lecture seem like an awesome story. No homework but did a research essays that spans out across the semester. No matter what.. DO NOT miss review days. He goes over some of the questions that will be on tbe test. Do not skip review day!

Comment:

Professor Perkins is such a nice guy who is very knowledgeable about all different types of history. He could easily talk for an entire class period and often go off track and taking awhile for him to get to the point. He did not keep up on grades, he only updated once before final grades. Fortunately, there were very many opportunities for EC.

Mr. Perkins was really cool and easy going. He knows his stuff and is very passionate about history. He loves hearing people's feedback and personal stories and likes to get students involved in the discussion. Pay attention and take good notes and you'll be just fine. He had a tendency to get off track during lecture sometimes, but he's a good guy

Comment:

Doesn't give review packets for the tests. He is very lecture heavy and talks very fast so it's hard to catch all the information. He isn't very understanding about problems happening outside of home and doesn't allow makeup work. If you decide to take his class make sure you read the book because he doesn't let you know what you'll be tested on.

Comment:

Mr. Perkins is truly one of the best instructors I've ever had. He is incredibly friendly and understanding. His class is not difficult but at the same time it's not boring---his knowledge of history keeps students engaged and stimulated. He gives out quizzes which count only toward extra credit (meaning you can't fail them) and his tests are clear

Comment:

Mr. Perkins is super enthusiastic about history. We only had three tests in the semester and none were cumulative. He helps a lot by going over the material that will be covered on the test a couple days before you take it. Lots of cool stories and really helpful. Didn't use the book really. Gives out outlines for the chapters.

Mr. Perkins is a great professor with a great personality for teaching. What I thought would turn out to be a rather boring class he made very interesting. I strongly recommend anyone to take his class.

He is very clear and it is obvious that he knows much about the topic. He has random quirks that he'll do often that makes class inadvertently funny. He'll assign very little homework, but the homework he does give is large.

Comment:

Talk about a teacher who is fully immersed in teaching the subject in a style that would have warmed the hearts and minds of scholars of old! Instead of being a rigid example of the authoritative teacher teaching lowly students, he embraces the true spirit of universities - a give and take system of the bidirectional flow of knowledge & experience

Mr. Perkins was excellent. Take this course you wont be sorry. A lot of extra credit and he basically gives you the test in the review. Just do the work and stay engaged. Was an easy A for me.
