He's a teacher in which u do not want to take. What he teaches you is not on the tests. He expects you to read the whole book and all he talks about is the same thing every class and expects you to pass. You ask him for help and it's like your talking to a wall. Horrible class!! Look somewhere else and extra credit and group projects are too hard!
Very scattered brained, test reviews are not helpful at all. Didn't learn anything. Doesn't put notes online to follow along with his horrible lectures. Expects a lot from his students and does not realize we have other classes. I would not recommend this class to no one. You have to read the book, study his notes to make at least a C on tests.
Worst professor ever!! I would not recommend anyone thos professor. His exams are way different than what he lectures, and his reviews are not worth studying. Very rude professor as well!
As the start of the semester it wasn't so great, but as the semester went on he got better. There a plenty opportunities for extra credit if you are willing to do it. The tests are difficult, it's better to just re read the chapters before the test instead of the review. He has a bad habit of chewing out students in front of everyone.
He was the worst, NOT clear at all. His homework was about 50 quts. & 3 free response that required almost an entire page. His review were NO help. Lectures were just a ridicules. He would just talk and talk.. couldn't ask or hold a discussion with him or the class b/c he'll shut you down. Ended dropping his class b/c I didn't see myself passing
Mr. Carr's class was very interesting. He uses recent news stories to help the class better understand the materials. As I have read reviews of him on this website, it sounds like there was a student who just didn't want to study & took out their anger on him. He's actually a very approachable & helpful teacher. He focuses on what you need to pass.
Professor Carr really goes out of his way to help the class. When I had a family emergency, he gave me the chance to make up the homework and made sure I kept up with the class. He was very friendly too. I learned a lot from the class discussions and the times the class went over homework assignments. He is a very cool teacher.
I took the Govt 2306 class last Fall. Mr. Carr immediately stands out because he knows so much about government and our rights. And he is very nice looking. The homework assignments weren't hard. It just took time to find the answers in the book. Overall, he was a teacher that motivated us to do our best and I would recommend his class to anyone.
Mr. Carr comes to class with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. His lectures are not too long and he always shows us how government is working in the real world. I would recommend anyone take his class. He is super cool and makes government an interesting subject to learn.
He's an awesome professor. You will learn a lot of good stuff in his class. He is very likeable and easy to approach about school work. Be sure to take his class!!
Professor Carr is one of the coolest teachers on campus. He is really good about explaining current events and how politics works. I would say YES to taking his class again!
Mr. Carr's class was one of the most interesting on campus. I saw that the more you participate in class, the more you are likely to learn and also gain additional opportunities to add to your grade totals. He is always energetic and makes his class fun!!
I would take Mr. Carr's class every time. He is very helpful and patient with explaining information. 10 stars out of 10. Take His Class Now!!!
Mr. Carr's class is very straight forward. If you attend class, you will learn a lot and get a chance at extra opportunities. He is a jokester and makes the class fun. His class is the one to take. And take a friend with you. He is awesome!!!!!!!!
Do not take his class. He is hard and no help at all. His reviews have nothing to do with the tests. All he talks about is how his grandpa was one of the first chairman. I failed this class and so did the other 5 people in my class. Don't do it!!
Professor Carr made learning fun. Government wasn't so boring being in his class. What you put into the class you will get out of it. That's the truth. He is very smart and encourages everyone to study what interests them. I learned a lot and so will you.
Prof. Carr is, by far, one of the best professors I have had to date. I felt like he wanted everyone to find their own voice. He challenged us to think and to work as teams to find solutions and I learned a lot from that experience. I got the feeling that he worked hard so everyone could get a good grade. If you want a good class, enroll in his.
This was an interesting class. With so much in the news about unarmed people being killed, and people wanting to know what to do to be safe, Mr. Carr's class was right on time. There is a part of his class where he teaches everyone what to do if you come in contact with police and I learned a lot about my rights.
Mr. Carr is very passionate about government. He is a fighter and teaches you how to go out and fight for your rights. As a woman I felt very empowered by taking his class. We learned a lot of useful ways to exercise our freedoms and to make a difference in our community.
A lot of people take classes and wonder what did they learn or how can they apply the information to their lives. Mr. Carr makes sure that when you complete his class, you have some tools to take with you to make your life better. Participation matters and you'll miss something good if you try to take short cuts with your studies. He's awesome!!!!
Mr. Carr is cooler than a fan.
I took Professor Carr's Federal Govt. class (GOV2305) this Spring. He explained the materials so well that I felt like I knew what it meant to be the President. His style keeps you wanting to know more and wanting to vote every chance you get. I left his class knowing more than I realized. Excellent teacher. And he's cute
Mr. Carr is a very kind and patient guy. He worked with me to ensure that I earned a grade I could be proud of. His class was also very interesting because of how he uses technology in class. If you want a teacher that listens and will do his best to make the class interesting, enroll for Mr. Carr's class.
Be sure to take Professor Carr's GOVT 2305 class. He is easy to approach about help in the class and he made the subject easy to understand. When I ran into trouble, I talked to him during office hours and he came up with a winning plan for me to pass his class. I am sure in an election year he will be even better!!!
Professor Carr starts off the semester by giving you the "keys" to cracking GOVT 2306. If you stick to the information he gives up front, it makes understanding the text (and his exams) SOOOOOOOO easy! He really knows how to show that government in always present and working in our lives. Bravo! Mr. Carr is the best!!
I took Mr. Carr's online class for GOVT 2305. He responds very fast to any questions or concerns I had about the class. He is also very nice and provides really useful feedback.
I just finished his three week online GOVT 2306 course and it was great. He gives you everything you need to complete homework, quizzes and other assignments. He is very fast to respond to emails. The course syllabus is easy to understand and he followed it without changes. This is the Government prof you need to take! Extra credit is possible!
He is definitely a professor to have at Eastfield College. There are so many good things about his course that it is hard to pick one thing to say. But one thing I appreciated is him wanting his students to "find their own voices" and passion about govt. The assignments were not long but sure helped me learn a lot about govt. This dude is awesome!
Mr. Carr works with students. He is patient and wants everyone to do their very best.
Another student recommended Mr. Carr for the government class. I was surprised that his classes filled so fast! So I emailed him and he was able to get me registered for his class! What a great experience! I completed his class and knew it was time well spent!!!!!
I am in Mr. Carr's class right now. (Spring 2017). I am the taking federal government class and he is an amazing teacher. His lectures are funny. I feel like he cares about students doing well. I also like that there aren't many homework assignments but what we learn overall has been incredible. HE IS THE MAN!!
His test were based on vocab and the rest of the test was not multiple choice you have to write out the answer. He talked a lot about himself during lectures. His homework assignments were long but multiple choice and can basically get it over internet. His lectures do not help on the test only the book does and review DAYS SO ATTEND THOSE DAYS.
So I wrote the previous post and need to clear up my statement. Mr. Carr is one of the nicest teachers on campus. I messed up on the test by not taking notes and expecting him to tell me what was on the test. The stories he tells about politicians and judges will show up on the exam. Take notes!!!!! His class is easy!!
Professor Carr gave me a chance to succeed when others had given up with trying to help me.
After reading reviews about Prof. Carr here, I took his Federal Govt course Spring 2017. I understand that Eastfield does not have amazing Govt professors but still. He did not have respect for those of Republican values and would take over if a student did not know more about a current events topic. Do not take unless absolutely desperate.
Professor Carr rocks. He doesn't like giving Homework on weekend or holidays.
Prof. Carr is the coolest professor on campus. He is super friendly and willing to help everyone.
Take his government class. The work isn't too long but you will actually learn a lot.
GREAT TIP FOR ADDED POINTS!!!! Mr. Carr likes sharing unique facts about U.S. presidents. If you add what he says to your test or homework answers, he will give you extra credit.
He is a fan of the military. Plus he makes everyone feel welcome no matter if you are an international student, LGBT student, a "conservative", or a working parent. I found him to be very understanding and kind to everyone.
His class is straight forward. Come to the lectures, do the homework, and find the answers on the study guide and you should make an easy grade. He is also very understanding when situations happen. Just talk to him and he will work with you.
This professor was so easy to take and get a class out of the way in the summer. No need to take Government a full semester, if you take him. He's easy, teaches well, and keep the class interesting. He doesn't grade hard at all and offers extra credit. The quiz reviews are going to be exact on the quizzes. Class is tops 40 mins. RECOMMEND! Easy A
Getting the book is optional because he goes over the material so thoroughly in class, however I advise getting it. Replies quickly to emails. All of his homework and assignments can be found online, but if you pay attention in class the answers will be in your notes WORD FOR WORD. Better to take during the summer if you want to get it out the way.
the best the best the best
I am currently taking him at the moment. Carr is mediocre with his lectures and he talks about himself a lot. Three degrees haven't taught him manners cause I've seen him give snarky comments when you try to ask basic questions or actually participate. Only positive is no homework during break. Other than that, be prepared to learn nothing.
Mr. Carr is really nice. I am also takimg his class right now. He asks thought provoking , and the ones who get mad (like the person below) are ones who hate that he wont agree with their half baked ideas (usually Clump supporters). He is awesome, super friendly, and you will learn a lot. He's awesome!

Hes a great professor I enjoyed taking his class! Hes very straight forward and as long as you follow his instructions correctly it will be an easy class.
His 8 week class was super fun! Mr. Carr is the teacher you want to have!
Best professor I have ever had!
This professor Carr is a great professor for your government class. I took him fall 2018 for the first 8-weeks and made an A in the course. Doesnt not have many homework only 3 but they are long any where between 92-182 question. Only two quiz and do five study guide and the question on them are the same on the quiz and you take them at home.
I did not expect to actually be interested in Government but thanks to professor Carr for making his class Interesting and fun, I learned! I took his class over the summer2018 very early in the morning. workedstudy and earned an A!
Great professor, great lectures, very user friendly, very respectful.
I am currently taking his class at the moment, Professor Carr have a bad attitude, rude Instructor, to many degrees when to his head only in contact with in him self. Please don't ask him no simple questions he become like a wild man left in the wilderness.
Professor Carr is a wonderful instructor. Anyone who says otherwise probably didn't come to class. He is friendly, helpful, & kept me so interested in government. he is the teacher you will want for this class.
I just finished the GOVT 2305 class. Mr. Carr worked with me so that I could pass the class. He gave me multiple opportunities so that I could understand the work. He is a super teacher!
I learned a lot in this class. I was surprised considering the class does not have weekend or holiday assignments. #AWESOME
The workload for this course is VERY manageable. I worked & took this class. Mr. Carr makes this class easy to complete. This was a great choice!!!
I am currently taking this class now online. This professor is very offensive and rude. He sends emails and refers to student making mistake as playing around since this is a college level course. We pay our hard earned money to be taught not belittled. The syllabus is not clear and the extra credit options are a waist. Dont miss a task.
I just dropped this class. Is this an English class or govt 2306? Who wants to write papers? You have 2 short event papers which are acceptable. But there is a 4 page essay that you have to do and he is very strict with the format and citations. No one has time for that. Ive written enough papers in English. The focus is Texas govt not APA format
Mr. Carr's class was easy breezy. If you follow the instructions you should do well in the class. If you get hung up on anything, Mr. Carr is friendly and accessible. He gave be useful feedback & let me re-submit an assignment that I had messed up on. He is very kind and patient. Take this class!!!!
It's funny reading that a person does not want to write papers in COLLEGE. Take it from me.... you will learn a lot in this class. He gives you the space to study topics that interest you. And he gives great feedback.
He gives great feedback. If you want a low stress was to complete this degree requirement, take Professor Carr's class.
I would take this class again. It was really simple to earn a good grade!
Trust the process. I figured out that Professor Carr works to make this class as smooth as possible. And he is pretty understanding.
Do not take him ! He is horrible and very rude and has very smart mouth
There is so much good info presented in this class. You will be glad to have him as a teacher.
I am taking Mr. Carr's GOVT 2306 class. I rwad through the comments before I enrolled in the class. He is very encouraging to the class. He is very funny and knows a lot about the issues. I am glad someone recommended him as a professor.
I figured out that if Mr. Carr's class is full, all you have to do is e-mail him and he can get you added to his class. I heard he is an awesome instructor!!
He goes the extra mile to help people achieve our dreams. He doesn't want people sitting around and doing nothing with ourselves.
Mr. Carr is very patient. He works with the class to help us be successful.
I appreciated him highlighting the diversity in America's founding & successes over time. He made everyone feel welcome and shows how government can be a force for the good.
Professor Carr's online course is soooooooooooo easy to manage. ENROLL FOR HIS CLASS!!!!!!
I took his GOVT2305 was not able to select but anytime I sent him an Email he had a smart remark in one Reply he said he did not have to answer my question if he didn't want to. He was not helpful at all he did reply quickly but what was the point if he was no help Do not take this class if you like professors to communicate & answer your questions
Professor Carr was VERY helpful in the class. I took the 3-week course and when I had questions, he responded within the hour. He was always KIND and HELPFUL to me when I worried about the course. (The negative comment (below) is not true. My classmates said they had a great experience in Mr. Carr's class)
He responds to e-mails very fast. The online class information was easy to navigate.
Great online class. GET READY TO READ!! Quizzes are easy. I took his summer 4 week class & had about 3-4 essay due. Topics are interesting to write about. Going to take him again for 2306. He responds quickly to emails
There are only 8 assignments in this course. Professor Carr makes this class easy breezey.
I kept hearing Mr. Carr was a good teacher, so I e-mailed him so I could be added to his class. The class was cool!
Professor Carr was awful; he used TestMate quizzes with 200+ questions, and almost none of those questions were covered by material in the textbook or lectures. He is arrogant and condescending, doesn't give clear instructions and is difficult to communicate with. You can probably still make a good grade in the class but it will be miserable.
