Comment:

He's nice enough, but he mostly lectured and they were usually really boring. I struggled to stay awake, and most of the class seemed to as well. He's also not great with tech, but that can help you out sometimes. He mostly read from the book, so if you fall asleep like I did make sure you do the reading.

Comment:

If you would like a professor that doesn't grade the paper you did the first week until the class is completely over this is the one for you. Zero teaching, just gives you the textbook to read. As organized as a first grader, thats pushing it. Dyke should not be able to receive a rating over zero. This dude needs to go back to school himself.

Comment:

He was very specific with guidelines on papers, but he never responded to emails. I emailed him 4 times and he responded once after I had already submitted the assignment in Canvas. Was not a good communicator at all and there was a lot of reading/discussions which was expected. I took the online course this summer(2020) :)

Comment:

dont take this class, professor dyke made it very hard due to his lack of organizational skills and he seems like a nice guy but not a good teacher (his class is everywhere, doesnt actually teach, hard to reach by email especially for an online class, hard tests, even harder essays)

Comment:

This was an arduous course. There was little to no instruction on behalf of the professor. I really did not like the structure of this class. Coursework due dates, a week-late syllabus, poor communication, and insanely difficult and overcritical essay grading made this quite possibly one of the worst classes I have ever taken in my life.

Comment:

Definitely not the best teacher out there, if there are other options for history class I suggest taking it. Main problems here were with the exams--difficult-- and with the communication issues with him. He seems to care about history, but is not good at actually being a teacher. I suggest finding someone else to take for history.

WORST CLASS EVER. ONLINE CLASS WAS THE WORST. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. If you are reading this it is a sign to not take this class. I am warning you. Or at least do not take him for an online class. But even then. Worst class I have ever taken.

Comment:

When teaching an online course, Professor Dyke chooses not to teach at all. He gave us Cogbooks to take notes on and never lectured/taught us, little to no feedback when he grades your essay, and his tests are difficult. Terrible class. Do not take this class if you want to save your GPA. It doesnt matter how good of a student you think you are.

Comment:

I really struggled in this class because Dr Dyke was hard to reach by email, took a long time to grade anything, and was confusing with the due dates for our assignments. Maybe he would have been a better teacher for in person classes, but for online classes it was not good at all.

Worst professor Ive had. Im a strong student and very organized, but Professor Dyke made it hard to do well in this class because of how disorganized he was with deadlines and how hard it was to reach out to him.

Comment:

I took him for an online class, & it was difficult because he didnt lecture at all. Dyke didnt actually teach, he just gave the textbook to read. His class is graded on 4 exams, & he didnt grade my first exam until past the last day of the course. Also, he takes a week to respond to emails and got so many of the due dates wrong on Canvas.
