not the most exciting class. you gotta bring to it what you want out of it. Tests are essay questions but if you read the chapters and pay attention its pretty easy. not a stickler for dates so that was great for the exams. read the assigned chapters and you will do great.

Good teacher but difficult. Kind of all over the place in his lectures. Good communication through e-mail and available after hours.

Good teacher but his lectures are all over the place. He is looking for specific answers on his exams and he requires an essay. Always available after hours and responds quick to e-mails. Likes it when you take an interest. I'd recommend him. Good looking too. :)

Veryy CHILL teacher!!

dude's cool, his funny. he will help you, he doesn't want his students to fail but its not an easy A you defiantly have to work for it. (its 3 tests and an essay). my only complaint is that the lectures are re really scattered he writes all over the boards and you cant read his hand writing so you really have to listen, & take notes, you wont fail

-Intellectual teacher, he's invested into what he's doing. Makes intro-history classes interesting; doesn't make anyone feel stupid for asking questionsengaging. 4 tests during semester, 1 paper, tests are somewhat difficult you must study but not too bad overall. Enjoyed his class & lectures.

Overall great class, lectures can get all over but so long as you pay attention and take notes shouldn't be a problem

Lectures all class but will always answer your questions. Wants everyone to do well! The only downside for me was the paper--he didn't give out the topic until a week before it was due. If you can write well in a few hours, great! Not everyone can take "just a coupla hours" and produce a paper they'd want to turn in. Otherwise, great teacher!

Class is pretty easy, and he's a nice down-to-earth guy who'll always answer your questions. His syllabus is a study guide for the exams: make sure to use it. He goes over the questions on the exams in the class leading up to the test so you can cross off what wasn't covered. Only problem is that he never responds to e-mails (in my experience).

Great professor who knows what he's talking about. Don't worry about getting the newest version of the textbook, but definitely do the readings. Take good notes in class, and ask questions if you don't understand. Do your best to come to every class, because he'll practically tell you what's on the test. Not afraid to get into bad parts of history.

Teacher is okay for lectures. He goes through class with funny statements.

Really great professor! Lectures are interesting and encourages discussion. Doesn't make you feel stupid and loves to talk to you about things you don't understand. Tough grader on essays, tests are a little rough, but not impossible to get an A. Make sure to attend lectures, study and communicate with him. He does offer tons of extra credit.

Professor Reynolds is by far one of the best sources for history at ACC. He has witty personality and a plethora of information on U.S. history as well as Texas history. YOU HAVE TO READ IN THIS CLASS! This is an educational institution, not a night club. So put your big boy pants(or big girl)on before going to this class, I would recommend to all!

Usually lecture-heavy classes are boring but his are amazing. Really chill and helpful, you honestly don't even need to go to lectures but they're helpful. Don't buy the textbook he has a website for you to use. Just study the learning objectives thoroughly and you're good to go

Dr. Reynolds is a VERY great professor. Attached to the syllabus, there's a study guide with everything you need to know for each test. The study guide is almost identical to the actual test. He's a tough grader but if you go in for his office hours he'll tell you exactly what he expects. Also, his lectures are very easy to understand!

Dr Reynolds rhetorics are inspirational. Attached to the sulybus are potential questions on the test. You just have to connect his lectures with questions and you can pass easily

I've taken Professor Reynolds for US History 1 and now for US History 2. He is awesome! He does skip around in his lectures, but he is very available in the learning lab, and is totally willing to answer all the questions someone has. He is super patient, and very laid back.

Theres only four grades for the whole semester. He doesnt do extra credit. However, his lectures are inspiring although he does go on tangents. Hes really approachable if youre having issues though. Just talk to him and hell help you.

Dr. Reynolds is a really knowledgeable professor, he knows the subject well and doesn't sweat the dates. (Whoop!) However, he does grade this freshman class as an upper-level class. The exams are all open-ended questions, including an essay on every exam. He grades tough but fair, if you get an A on your test, you will know you truly earned it.

I was surprised by some of these other reviews. I thought professor Reynolds did a great job, was entertaining, quick to respond to emails, and an easy A so long as you did the work according to instructions. It is a writing and reading heavy class but thats just how history is. I totally recommend!!

Prof. Reynolds was an awesome professor! First online ACC class & it went really smoothly, didnt require you to show up (i still did tho) & would record the session & upload to BB for others to watch. Essays & Papers were pretty easy & as long as you got the idea/outline of what you were talking about, you get a good grade!

A good guy, knows a lot about history. Has 3 tests and 2 papers, nothing else. Read the textbook or you wont pass.

Professor Reynolds was a great teacher! Tough but very, very fair if you did your part. If you did your best and you were still behind, he might allow you to make it up with a redo, based on your work ethic in the class. Talk to him in person because it may be a while for an email response.

Very good class with interesting lectures. If you study the review sheet the day before and make a good you should do fine on the 3 exams the class has. On the papers as long as you read it with slight understanding you'll do great. There aren't very many assignments so make sure you do well one them.

There are only a few papers, but he's very clear about what you need to do and is available for editing. His lectures are entertaining and he's very down to earth

Prof. Reynolds is very simple and straightforward, his syllabus is very clear. There are total 5 assignments for his class which includes Exams. He is quite a tough grader who doesn't give feedback, other than that he is a nice professor and his guidelines and lectures are very clear.

Dr. Reynolds was very clear and straightforward with his expectations. He was a tough grader, but fair. He gave a fair amount of time to complete the 2 papers and 3 exams. Course is heavy in reading and writing. The exams were short answer and essay...so lots of writing. He was very quick to respond. His BB lectures were recorded.

Pretty simple class - 3 exams and 2 papers. For a 5 week online course it's very straight forward and easy. Won't give you an A unless it's "perfect", so be prepared for a B at best. Essay prompts are a little ridiculous - you'll be answering 4-5 different points and trying to piece it all together, wondering if it's right or not. Lots of reading

Prof Reynolds is passionate about US history and enjoys teaching it. He does not follow any powerpoints for his lectures but draws concept maps on the board, which as a visual learner, I really appreciated. He always encourages questions and participation (including staying after class), and is a tough grader who sees and rewards effort.

Dr. Reynolds was a great professor, who always gave amazing lectures that were informative and helped me pass the class. He grades fairly and easily, and provides feedback if needed. I would take his class in the future.

Very friendly and professional. Class was lecture heavy.

If you are a good writer then this is a good class for you. There are 5 grades and they are purely writing based. He does grade hard but he has amazing lectures,

The negative reviews for Reynolds are hilarious but not accurate. Yes, he is a tough grader and you must be proficient at college writing. He gives no rubric but provides the standards he grades by, just make sure you answer every point in his prompts. This is a great class if you prefer writing over proctored exams. I took Hist 1 and 2 and got As

Course taken through dual-credit. Essentially, there are 5 graded assignments (3 tests & 2 papers). Don't be frightened, he's accessible through email & lectures are great. Ask questions for reaffirmation or general inquiry. Makes you think for yourself regarding test/paper answers, but I found txtbook unneeded in my case. Overall, great professor.

Wow ... I'm really surprised by these negative comments. He's a tough grader yeah but if you follow his rules and answer what he's asking for, there'll be no problem. Follow exactly the rubrics on his syllabus and you'll get a good score. He responds to email and ready to help. There were 3 exams and 2 papers.

Dr. Reynolds was a great professor. He gives a total of 5 assignments throughout the semester. His grading scale can be hard, but If you follow his rubrics and give the answers he mentioned in lectures, you are likely to have no problem succeeding. He is a great guy, and I highly recommend this course, as It is low-stress, and not too challenging.

As long as you ask questions, he's a pretty good professor. Rounds grades up based on improvement, even an 86 can be rounded to an A. Cons: No in between grades, can only get up to a 95 on assignments.
