HE IS AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE UNCLE BUBBA!
Really nice guy, but hard. Expect to actually work for your grade. No spoon-feeding here, my friends. He's really nice and he's willing to help out.

bubba is the man ... really fun class, good subject
Intro or World Geo with this guy has to be one of the easiest humanities credits you could take. His notes are extremely thourough and his tests contain absolutely no suprises or tricky questions. Everyone should take this guy! Bubba rocks!
Great professor. Very funny and knows his subject matter very well. Bubba rules!
Best teacher in the wold. He is a real educator and knows how to create a positive environment.
Awesome teacher! He has really good visual aids to help learn the countries of the world which makes it very EASY! Read and study the chapter in advance and you'll have an easy A. I don't think I'll ever have a teacher better than Bubba! Exceptional!!!
Amazing teacher, he knows how to make a class fun and is very funny. There's not one class that is boring with him.He also has an interesting method to learn up the maps,and u can be sure u'll get ur map right always.
Great teacher. Extremely funny and extremely easy. Gives up to 10 bonus marks for every test....so you basically have an automatic A or B. The best teacher I've ever had. You have to take him!
If you take him for an honors class, be prepared to READ. I've never had to read this many books for a single class, but in his defense it was a terrific class. He made it fun & I learned a great deal. I would definately take him again and I miss this class from last term : ) Great Professor!!!
hes the best proffessor you can have, FUNNY is the word to describe him, helpfull, fun. And the best thing is you will learn having fun, and you will really learn a lot.
He is the best professor! Bubba makes the class interesting and fun. His style of teaching is very unique and makes the class interesting and easy to understand.
Awesome teacher, very nice, awesome sense of humor, easy going, knows his stuff! excellent experience!
very funny teacher! although dosent really help you if you have any questions, looks at you like an idiot. rambles alot and goes off the topic ALOT. it was just fun to go to class to listen to your uncle bubba.
Great teacher and has amazing qualities very caring and understanding. He should be a role model for all teachers!
Hilarious teacher. Big ole' redneck. Would recommend "Bubba" to anyone. Not only is he funny, but he makes learning in his class enjoyable... ps. If you are late, avoid eye contact!
Awesome teacher, great sense of humor. "Bubba" is very knowledgable in what he's teaching and makes classes enjoyable. Take him if you want to laugh and get an A
Da best teacher i've had so far. Bubba is hilarous, He knows wat he teaches & makes people learn very fast, i kno all da countries in da world already thanx 2 bubba. Fun, very fun class with a learning environment dat only bubba can give,& ya, avoid eye contact if ur late,Da best Professor i've had @ bcc & hot women in da class. I RECOMMEND IT!!!!!
He is such a nice guy and so understanding he is forever helping out students and needy people. He is such a role model for all teachers. His class is very intresting and hes super funny i promise he makes learning easy and intresting!!
I learned so many things in his class, he is awesome. I know all the countries and some of their history thanks to him!! He is really funny. I liked that class.
Uncle Bubba is the best! He talks a lot so it's better if you print out the notes from his website and follow along in class (believe me it's a lot of info and you won't be able to write everything down). Just pay attention in class, read the notes, and you should be fine even withou a book. Really fun class and you learn a lot! Extra credit, too.
Uncle Bubba is the best professor EVER!!! his 50-minute class are never enough, you always come out wanting more. He is very funny and very very easy to follow and understand. Take him and you'll be a lucky dumplin. :)
Ok... that person that gave uncle bubba a sad face and a 'not helpfull' below, is full of YOU KNOW WHAT!!! he is the most helpfull teacher on earth, yeah sometimes he gets carried away with an answer but you'll NEVER have to ask again because he'll answer you what you want and then some. TAKE HIM. you'll be a happy dumplin.
This class it the highlight of my day. Uncle Bubba is fun to play around with. He calls us his frisky dumplins. Oh, and you've gotta play stump the hick...that's always amusing. I'd take any class if Dr. Mowell was teaching it. Maybe even Calculus!! I'm also a proud member of the Uncle Bubba Fan Club.
Funny man that Mowell...Helpful, nice, generous, smiles, loves football, GO DAWGS!, easy classes!!what more can I say???
Uncle Bubba is very funny, but boy oh boy can that man talk. He makes it interesting but do not take this class early in the morning, you might not find him funny. Expect to work for your grade. His tests are fair, but don't study the night before. He likes to make fun of city kids, especially those who live in WESTON. (WESTON AND BUBBA RULES)
This class was interesting at times, but often way over my head due to his fast paced speech. He is EXTREMELY intelligent, but is not arrogant about it. He is always there for help. As long as you know all of the study guide answers by heart (as well as the maps) you'll be fine. He only tests on major concepts. I would recommend Mr. Mowell.
He is the most southern guy in davie. he has a stong accent but it is hot. he is always willing to help but you do need to study for his test. the class is fun. if i were you i would take it
Fun Class I if you want get a good grade without trying to hard I recomand Uncle BUBBA!
He is a very good professor. And he is very funny. Is the best proffesor that I ever had. His exams are a little bit hard. But he is very clear and explain very good. I know you are not going to be bored in this class.
The class felt more like a history class than a Geo class. I always thought Geo was interesting, but the way this guy teaches it is, in simple terms, useless (waste of my money). Most people take his class because he's either "good looking" (NOT!!!) or easy "A". He is a complete digrace to the subject.
Boring and not helpful and have a very STRONG SOUTHERN accent. I disliked him terrible and his tests are very hard. Don't take him.
I cant believe anybody would trash Uncle Bubba. He is the nicest guy, always helpful, smiling and joking around--everybody in my class liked him. If you think his tests are hard you must be brain dead, or super lazy--the man gives you a study guide & his lecture notes & the exams had no surprises. Loved him/his class & have recomended him to many
The comment, "Boring and not helpful and have a very STRONG SOUTHERN accent. I disliked him terrible and his tests are very hard. Don't take him," is coming from an unreliable source. Yes, Dr. Mowell does have a southern accent, but it is not difficult to understand his teaching. Don't let the above comment discourage you from Mowell's class.
What can I say about uncle Bubba?...He is the best teacher I ever had! he i fun, his class is very interesting and gives tons of extra credit. He also cares about his students and is very funny too. I would love to have another class with him.
Do not worry about those previous comments. Bubba is great. He is extremely smart, knowledgable of his field, plus he's funny. You'll learn alot and have fun doing it. Saying his tests are easy is not necessarily accurate. But his lectures are so fun to listen to, that you would know almost everything you need to know by the time test day.
He is so awesome! Very nice, and his lectures are entertaining and his tests are easy (if you come to class)
Teaches in a clear, concise way - is interesting - test are easy if you attend class, read the chapters, and practice the maps.
Uncle Bubba is the best teacher and deserves some sort of award for being so funny. He gave a lot of extra credit and was very helpfull. I would recommend him to anyone! Great guy but does not deserve a chili pepper LOL
Very god professor. Alot of reading for the IDH seminar class, but the tests are generally very easy and logical. Very generous with grading curve(open to debate) and with extra credit(watch movies/buy candy). As long as you show a bare minimum of interest and sporadically attend class he will want you to succeed.
Great class! It was called "open college" so we only had about 5 classes for exams. He would answer questions before the test, but you have to have read all the assigned chapters and practice the computerized map quizzes on your own time. If not, you would be sunk. If you do all the required work, you will pass this class. I passed with an A.
Barry Mowell has to be the best professor at BCC. I have never once seen him in a bad mood. He gives tons of extra credit, answers questions before each exam, and tries to make the class as interesting as possible. Even if you're not to interested in geography, you'll love his class.
THIS PROFESSOR IS THE GREATEST!! I'VE NEVER MET SUCH A CHARACTER, CLASS IS VERY EASY... BESIDES THAT HIS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GEO' IS JUST AMAZING..... BABA UR DA BEST!
He is just really nice and funny! His tests are made so that if you did the reading you should pass. He makes even the dullest of topics (scandinavia and the baltic states?? Ugh! lol) interesting, and he is extremely knowledgeable. Just a couple of warnings: His IDH course is alot of reading, so be prepared!
if you cant learn on your own. do not take this class. great teacher if you can do**** on your own.
this professor is one of THE best! he is awesome and very sweet. never in a bad mood. makes class fun. brings in candy for his "dumplins" the tests are kind of hard but he gives study guides. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He didn't like me at first because it was a summer class and I missed a few days. But after I started participating in class and getting A's on his tests it was all good. Great teacher, lots of fun and very helpful, and always willing to talk in his office.
He told us to do community hours n' dat he'll put it on the transcrpts but he didn't..I have been waiting 2 semesters now..Test are difficult and the Take home exam has 5 pages and u goota do it w/the smallest letters u colud in order to get the full points.He sometimes loose the grades of the students and then tell u is your problem. He is AVERAGE
Me and a teammate took his class together. No homework, curved exams, no surprises on fairly easy exams, tons of extra credit options, he's a nice guy. I made an A & have sent several friends to him since. If you think his class is hard you must be pretty dense---ignore the last 2 reviews. You should take him if you get a chance. Bubba rocks!!
World Geography was GREAT. Got an A. Curved Exams, Lots of Extra Credit. One of the best professors at BCC.
On the educational side he knows his stuff..tests are fair and gives alot of extra credit. Learned alot in his class. Personality is amazing. Very funny..you could never have a boring class!
Awesome teacher! he even made our class, which was on world communism, interesting. the tests are easy if you READ the material, and the books he picks are good. He's extra helpful- he even got me the job I'm working at now!! I can't wait to take him for another class and be one of his "doodles" again LOL
greate professor! easy A unless you just dont do anything at all!
funny but you have to review for tests
He's not that easy. but geography isn't an easy subject either. he is a funny guy. but his tests are hard... he does give a review but you have to study alot before taking them.
Geo 2000 covers a lot, overall is a hard subject but he makes the class interesting fun and you learn more than you bargin for. He gives extra credit and is very helpful and you get reviews before test overall can pass this class unless you do nothing at all.
Very biased about the world and kind of nationalist about the USA. He gets lost all the time when he is teaching geography. I think his knowledge of geography is not very good. I think he should prepare himself better before come to class. His tests are strange and hard to understand. His thick southern accent makes it harder. His class is boring!
Hes a great teacher. you really have to study for the tests, but he gives a lot of extra credit. very funny and nice. one of my fav so far. his make up test are all essay but in a wierd way easier than the real tests. id take him again if i had to!
He is a great teacher who knows his stuff and is very kind when it comes to help you get a better grade
He is confusing and needs to learn more about geography. His classes are kind of slow. He keeps repeating himself over and over again. Gets confused about locations. His reviews are very messy. His southern accent sometimes is hard to understand. Friendly but kind of cold. Take someone else if you can. I got an A because I study by myself.
I have no much to say about this guy. This teacher made me hate geography. His BIAS toward the world out there is not nice. His nationalism toward the USA is too much. Long bad review and confusing tests. He seats in a chair and talks and talks... His accent from the south is a bit confusing. He should be teaching history istead. Take someone else!
THE BEST! He's fun and I even learned stuff. His southern twang is hilarious and he calls himself "Bubba". Just a joy to be in his class. He will open your horizons and show you to think outside that box u call [USA].
Barry is a nice guy but a bad professor. Gets lost and his southern accent it is hard to understand for students from outside. His lectures are totally boring.
GUARANTEED A. very funny and gives lots of extra credit.
this professor is soooo funny, and very nice. If you volunteer he'll give u x credit. his test ARE HARD if you don't read. PREPARE to read a LOT!!!!! He is very nice and willing to help you. I liked him a lot!!!! I got an A
The best professor, funny guy.
He is not a bad guy but his classes are not that great. His lectures are kind of boring. His accent is hard to understand. I see him little biased toward the world out there. His tests are kind of hard. Friendly but not a good teacher. Take someone else if you can.
Hilarious Professor. Knows his stuff, but you need to read.
Funny teacher! If you read you book you pass the tests!
I've had many Social Studies teachers ... He is the best!!
He was ok...he gives u a chance to do extra credit work to improve ur grade so there should be no reason why someone fails his class!
Cute, sweet, funny guy. I loved his class and would take him again. He does want you to read/study, but was not unreasonable. I have told all my friends to take him.
This professor is AMAZING. His class is always fun. He is EXTREMELY intelligent. Ask him ANYTHING and he will have an answer. He exemplifies the word "Professor". Take his class you will LOVE HIM!!
Bubba is awesome! He's such a sweet guy and very funny. I took the class where you only went 4 times to take the tests, and studied the book on your own. You actually have to read everything because he doesn't give study guides, but he goes over everything for an hour before the test. Very helpful, I definitely recommend him!
One of the most helpful, friendly professors I've had. On top of that he really knows his subject and relates it to the students well. Even the many athletes who often take his classes seem interested in what he's teaching. He really cares about all of his students and never seems to have a bad day he's so cheerful!
This guy is super funny and sweet!! He goes over the information right before the test and lets you ask any questions you may have, he also gives extra credit. Honestly you shouldn't have a problem passing he class with at least a B!
Can't begin to tell u how refreshing it was to have this guy on my first sem he's the best, end of story I HIGHLY recommend taking any of his classes.
He is really nice and tries to be funny. only had to attend 4 class dates, 4 exams, and 1 take home exam. I did not study at all and still passed with a B
He was just plain awesome, he kept my attention and made it so I wanted to go to class. You should read the material he gives you but his tests are not that hard. If you have questions he will answer them. He's a pretty funny guy. If you think history and geography are boring he would be good for you to take.
This man is an amazing professor! I just took him for Conservation of Natural Resources and he was super easy. His tests are short and easy if you read the material. No homework, he answers all questions. Pretty easy going guy. Our last class he ended up having to give us all an A because something happened to his computer. MUST TAKE!!!!!
Excellent class, there's a geography part on each test and he gives a fun game to help you memorize everything. His class is easy to follow, explanations are clear, he is super funny. He gives extra credit too (a take home exam). BTW, He brought an Easter basket with candy for every one the last day of class! you'll learn a lot and have so much fun
OMG,AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!!!! Easy to understand, gives examples you can relate to. Flexible and kind. He will go out of his way to explain if you have a question. TAKE HIM, you won't regret it.
I hate science and math I usually only do well if I work really hard but in this class you dont have to just read the chapters pay attention during his reviews and play the map game and you'll actually learn the information without having to study hard or stress over the information. He is funny has a ton of information to offer makes the class fun
Took Prof. Bubba for two classes, best professor Ive ever had! He makes it easy to learn the info you need for his tests.
Boring! Boring! Disliked him very much. Very heavy southern accent. I have to study mostly by myself. BIASED! Don't take him. He is very boring and gets lost many times.
Wonderful Professor. Does an excellent job at making the material easy to understand for people that aren't geography majors. I highly recommend him. You do need the book to read further about the material, but he's fair with his tests and won't put material he hasn't covered.
This is one easy professor. He explains the material thoroughly with multiple examples. The test are easy to pass if you pay attention in class and read your book. Plus his test includes map questions and they are so easy to pass. (DB)
Awesome teacher. He was extremely knowledgeable in many areas, and if you just listen to him, play the map game, and read the book a little, you will pass without a problem. Take him if you need this class.
I absolutely LOVE this professor!!! I definitely recommend him !! I only wish i could have him for EVERY class. He goes over the exam before he gives it,so do not be LATE, IF you want a better grade..
Great teacher!!! I highly recommend him! Study lizard point and take notes, and you will pass for sure!
This guy is great! I learned a lot from him, just study the lizard point and take notes.
Best teacher i've ever had.
This guy is hilarious! he is too funny! i loved him. you take three tests which arent very hard as long as you take notes your fine. But he was a great teacher i would definitely recommend him to anyone!
"Bubba" is an awesome teacher ! His accent and humor make it fun to go to class every day. He's super interactive and informative. The tests are easy but only if you read (he asks questions based on concepts more than specific facts) and study the maps ! What a great learning experience
The best lecturer. I learned a lot in his class that changed my life and he is a naturally great teacher.
I loved taking Dr. Mowell - he is intelligent, funny and very interactive. He makes a potentially dull subject very interesting and relatable. He wants you to succeed - put effort into your work and you're likely to get an A.
very funny. easy class. dropped the lowest test grade. very informative and very understanding of time constraints. overall very good.
I highly recommend taking this class. Professor Mowell makes the class relaxed and fun to be in. I took a 3hour class and never felt bored. Do your part with studying maps and notes and you will do fine! Funny guy!
Take his lectures!!!...Dr. Mowell has an innate talent for teaching. He is funny and make even the most boring topics to be interesting. He tries to answer your questions to the best of his knowledge. And he is very knowledgeable in his field and some others. He uses no technology and you may have to read a lot but you will learn a lot from him.
He sustained my interest in the class and made it fun to learn geography... turns out GIS is the next big step in science, and Barry was a pinnacle moment in my GIS education. The man will change your outlook.
Fun and easy class! He will keep you entertain on the subject! Definitely recommend him to my friend!(: Take him!
He is such a nice guy. I really wasnt excited about this class but he made it so much fun. He lets you make a cheat sheet for the test but you need to study the assigned maps. I got a B in the class. I was definitely take him again :)
Loved this class and this instructor!!! You will learn so much about the world. Mowell is a great teacher and a very nice man.
Ok, so he got my grade wrong and I had to appeal. He got back to me the same day and sent for it to be fixed. Even with that I can still say he is absolutely one of the best. He is a well centered guy who will have you learning and laughing at the same time. Take him and you will learn how the world functions.
Excellent Professor. You will learn taking any of his classes. This was my second class with Professor Mowell. If you want to learn about the world, and the reasons why things are happening, you must take him. You will not be disappointed.
He is a great teacher. I took him for session 2 and was amazed at how simple it was. He give you options on what assignments you want between take home exams and video questions. personally, I found the video questions much easier. you WILL need the book for the test. he likes to pull out questions from there.
I had him early in the morning and he was always so energetic and ready to teach. He's very funny and you can go to him for any questions or concerns. Very easy if you do your work.
Took him once a week on Fridays for the last half of Spring 15. It was an elective for me so I still technically "passed". Tests were a tough cookie to crack with all the maps and no key, still a good guy though.
Would definitely recommend to anyone! :)
This is a perfect Flex course, only 4 classes, the rest is homework and tests, you must study to pass the tests, easy A++, great teacher, great lectures, he is interesting and not boring, he is helpful, answers all your questions, I would take him again in a heartbeat.
LOOK NO FURTHER! TALE HIM! HE'S AMAZING! EASY A. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE IN HAND FOR THE MAP QUESTIONS (FIGURED THAT OUT ON THE LAST TEST OF CLASS) AND TRY YOUR BEST ON THE VIDEOS, YOU'LL PASS WITH AN "A". NOT LOWER THAN A "B".
He is a truly awesome Professor that is extremely knowledgeable about the subject area and is always willing to help you earn the highest grade possible. Really loved him and wish I could have taken more of his classes.
Such a nice and knowledgeable teacher. He puts confusing and long material in his own words and makes it so easy to understand. He is really funny with his southern accent and sayings. I would take him again a million times.
Amazing professor, I'll definitely recommend Dr. Mowell to others. I took him three times for the classes: INR2002, GEO2420, & GEO1000. He's one of the best professors at BC. His classes are easy & very understandable. He's a funny lecturer & makes the class come to life. Always willing to help you & accessible, answers emails in a timely manner
He isn't out to fail you like some professors are. He reviews the material on test days and he does have a fun personality. Only drawback is that the take home exams are very time consuming. We had 2 take home exams and 3 test.
He is funny, really chill, and actually prepares you well for upcoming test. I personally didn't use a book because I found it online for free, but for his test you will need the book to pass. It wasn't that big of a deal to come to class, but I made sure to come often tho.
Such an amazing teacher. These days it's hard to find a teacher that cares. if you're reading this Barry: I LOVE YOU!! lol You definitely need the textbook AND to attend class because many times he'll say stuff that's not in the book that WILL be on the test. I never laughed out loud at his jokes cus my class was just way too early, but he IS FUNNY
Honestly one of the best professors at BC. He is extremely knowledgable and funny. I took two classes with him and got an A on both. I loved his lectures, class with him is definitely not boring. If you show up to class and do the assignments, his class is an easy A and you'll end up learning so much.
He was funny. His methods of teaching is understandable, he lets you use notes on tests. STUDY THE MAPS, because their a big part of the test. No cumulative final. Overall good man.
One of the BEST! If you dont get an A, then you are just lazy. Cheat notes allowed during exam ( I couldnt believe some kids didnt even make cheat notes). I enjoyed his lectures; he is hilarious. The video take home assignments do require alot of time but you have to put some kind of effort to get that A. TAKE HIM!
I actually enjoyed his class and learned not just about maps but about the different cultures and what they mean. Great professor just listen and do your work. You'll get an A, No reason not to.
Hands down one of the best professors @ BC! He is very enthusiastic, and makes learning geography fun. There is no way you can fail this class, cheat notes are allowed for every exam. Overall, his attitude is always positive and tends to crack jokes, to make the class a bit more relate-able. Take him, you won't regret it!
Great professor, Very funny, you can only fail if you don't show up or don't do your work. Very easy.
Awesome teacher, really funny and as long as you watch his videos and do what he asks you will get an easy A. Lets us use cheat papers, very interesting class, you will not only learn about geography but also history as an extra. I loved his class. He is clear from the beginning and as long as you come to his lectures you will do fine.
Funny guys! It's easy to get an A in this class. But you do need to put your work on it, not a lot though. Would take again
Prof Mowell is one of the best. Fun and witty. Take him , easy A. Hilarious, knowledgeable and grades fair. Did class for summer 2017. Allows cheating notes in exams. Syllabus clear and grading fair. Read the chapter, review the maps and participate to pass. Textbook needed.
He is hilarious! He is one of the only professors that is willing to ruin his personality to make you lough. The class is easy as long as you do the work. I really loved him TBH. Keep up the great work professor.
Prof. Barry is amazing. He keeps the class lively. The work is not alot. I did this class as session 4 and managed to get everything done because the work is super easy. If you doing this course TAKE HIM! I assure you, you won't regret it!
Don't second guess taking this professor. Alll you have to basically do is 3 assignments, and 3 tests which he allows cheat notes. During lecture, he is actually funny and you do learn in his class. You will not stress in this class at all. Very easy and right to the point.
Great teacher! Super funny and relatable! He calls his class party hoppers and makes the class super fun! Easiest A ive gotten! Test are easy and you can use cheat notes, also not too many assignments to take home.
You really have to try your best to fail his class. He lets you use cheat notes for the test, but if you took notes on his lectures and studied that you don't need the cheat notes, but good to have on test day. Everything on the test goes with what he talks about in class. Only 3 assignments to do at home. 100% recommend! Great professor overall.
Actually one of the best professors I have taken at BC, he makes lectures not dreadful AT ALL and super easy to learn. he's funny and he does care about his students. hes so great i actually kinda miss him already .
By far one of the funniest professors Ive had at BC, I definitely recommend. He lets you bring a note sheet for every exam so take advantage of that.
Professor Mowell jokes about being fat way too much for comfort but passed all the personal stuff he knows a ton about maps, global warming & health related things like the FDA. You will learn some good stuff that everyone should be aware of. Lots of reading for homewrk & take home tests. 1 cheat sheet per test. & he drops ur lowest grade.
Better off taking an online class as you will be teaching yourself anyway, the only difference is the online class you will be getting feedback from the instructor. D2L not used. Tests are chapter based and in no order and you will need to ask for your grades. You will be watching videos and answering questions and only be showing up for tests.
Very helpful, nice and funny man. Responds to emails/questions quickly. He is very knowledgeable about international affairs and is an excellent teacher. Everyone in my class loved him. I wish I could take him again.
Great professor, take home quizzes and come in early for an extra 5 points!
Great professor, would highly recommend him to anybody needing a Geography class at Central Campus. Allows 1 page front/back cheat notes for tests. Its a twice a week class for 8 weeks, so attendance is mandatory. Like his southern accent (Im from the south too). Also, he doesnt use D2L. 3 in class exams, 2 take home exams + videos. Lowest drop
I love this professor, he is awesome. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you show up to class he speaks about everything that is needed for the tests and quizzes. f you just listen and try, it is an easy A. I would take him again if I have the option.
I love this teacher, taking him again next semster. Funny and nice lectures.
He is the best teacher! His class is very entertaining, in addition to being an expert in the subject that is teaching.
He's such a nice and funny professor. The class was easy. I took him for session 2 so it was about 6 weeks. It did not feel like I crammed at all. We had 3 tests and 2 take home assignments. He does a review a day prior of the exam. And he's open to any questions. It's an interesting class, I still remember my countries. I definitely recommend him.
I know politics and international relations isn't everyone's thing and the class could be seen as difficult. Honestly, however, Prof. Mowell is epic. He is funny, an easy grader, and attempts to get you involved. He answers your questions with respect and genuinely wants you to succeed. Great man, take him. Not an easy A but you'll get the A.
What an awesome teacher and person. So funny and helpful. I will be taking him again.
BEST teacher ever!! He is so funny, and you can tell he's really into teaching. Most of the class he is talking, it's a very chill class. Only work was 1 packet of videos we had to watch with questions, 1 quiz, and the final. Such an easy A. If you fail this class there Is seriously something wrong with you lol Would definitively take him again!
Professor is easy but not lenient at all. Asked him to submit something to turn into a B and replied " no more emails ". Video questions are useless to what you need to learn. He is a funny teacher though. I liked him at the beginning of the course but after him being rude and not trying to help me boost my grade, I am not a fan of him anymore.
hes the sweetest man ever!! he makes class fun. he assigns quizzes and his exams were actually interesting. you would watch documentaries and answer the questions hes given. THE best professor ive had so far
Professor Mowell is so sweet and dorky. He class was really easy not gonna lie, I felt it was a little too easy. Could have ask more students and not make it just to get through this course and on to the next. But still I really enjoyed his lectures kept class engaged (even though no one was answering any of his questions when he asked them)
Prof Mowell is an insightful and knowledgable professor. His class is designed so students can work at there own pace. This can cause some people to slack off and rush to turn assignments in. In addition, there are not that many assignments so if you mess up it can really hurt you. I would, still, take his class again.
I loved this professor. He is very knowledgeable and his class is interesting. He puts the responsibility of passing his class completely on you which is how it should be. He is very nice and I learned alot from his class. 6 grades in total, easy class.
He's a funny chill guy, cool accent. He was very kind to us during covid.
Professor Mowell is very intellectual. He has a slight southern accent but he's a sweetheart. All tests are open book and every answer is in the textbook online. He gives you a month or so to do your assignments which consists of watching several documentaries about 8-10 questions each, and chapter reviews about 8-10 questions each. Take his class!
Best professor I've had at BC. Assignments are very clear, due dates are generous, and he grades fairly. This was my favorite class by far this semester; I definitely recommend his courses.
Professor Mowell is great! The class consists of 6 assignments (with the lowest grade dropped) and it's an easy A as long as you put in the work. I wont lie the assignments can be tedious (3-4 hours if you rly put in good effort) but the work is easy just a little long. Quizzes/Tests are also easy if you study. Highly recommend this class :).
Loved this professor. So sweet, made cheesy jokes, and answered any and all questions even if he has to repeat himself 4 times. Only 3 quizzes and 2 video question assignments (6 vids from each chapter, 28 total) which took up a lot of my time, but he is an easy grader. Super easy A for me, very understanding and flexible with scheduling quizzes.
Honestly not bad overall just 3-4 quizzes and some assignments where you watch a video and answer questions which was the hardest part. The best bet for the tests is the book mostly and then online also works for some questions. He gives one assignment to fail so use it wisely between the video assignments or a quiz. Overall decent nothing crazy.
Funny guy. He records his lectures so if you dont make it to class or want to rewatch you can always review. Not a lot of assignments, but he he likes answers on them to be veryyy thorough. Teaches from the book but makes it interesting, almost like youre listening to an interactive podcast. Drops your lowest grade at the end on semester. 10/10.
Tbh, I haven't had the best email interactions with him. But, it's a really easy class. 3 quizzes, 1 documentary questions assignment (on 3 separate videos), and 1 written exam. Use the textbook for everything! All exams are open-book, and he writes every question based on the reading. Lectures are recorded and attendance isn't mandatory.
Prof is hilarious but knows his stuff. We had open book exam & assignments with enough time to complete. He does make you work for your grade but if you put in the time, it's not that bad. He hints at certain areas of the lecture so u can write down your notes bcuz most likely it will be on exam. I would deff recomm him and it was an easy A for me
Professor Mowell is a great professor. 3 open-book quizzes, 1 take-home exam, and 2 video-question worksheet. He makes his lectures easy to follow and funny! I highly recommend taking his class, he made me love history again!! The attendance is not mandatory but recommended, the textbook is available for rent, and can be used for exams and quizzes
Prof Mowell was a great teacher. His lectures weren't boring and he would go over every video thoroughly. He graded papers accordingly and fair. I can say I actually enjoyed this class and learned something from it. His teaching style is exciting and gets students involved by asking questions. 10/10 would recommend.
Prof. Mowell is amazing. He tries to keep the class light but give you all the information you need. You learn a lot from the homework and he does not do useless discussions. There are 3 quizzes a test and a set of videos that you have to answer some questions. I was scared to take this class but it was amazing.
Take him he is an easy A. everything is open book only way you would fail is by not doing any work. He is by far one of the best professors at BC!!!!!
Prof. Mowell is absolutely amazing. If you have to take this course you will be doing yourself a favor if you take it with him. The way he teaches history sticks because is not just boring lectures. There are no discussions. All the answers for the questions in the quizzes and the tests are either in the textbook or he talked about it.
Prof. Mowell is awesome. His course work is fairly straight forward. 1 video documentary assignment, three quizzes, one take home exam and an optional sixth assignment to choose between a 2nd take home exam or 2nd documentary assignment. His lectures are engaging and exams open book. You won't regret taking Prof. Mowell.
Dr. Mowell is an awesome professor! I took his 6 week POS2041 on Saturdays, work was not hard at all. Only way to fail is to not do any work at all.. He drops the lowest grade. Textbook is a free download. If you want an easy A while actually learning something, take Dr. Mowell! 10/10
I loved this professor. He is very sweet and funny. I did session 2 in person with him and it was a breeze. Their were 6 graded assignments. 1 was about watching videos and taking notes. 4 were tests/quizzes. The last one was a choice, either a video assignment or a quiz. All of the tests/quizzes were done at home. They were pretty easy. TAKE HIM!
This professor is absolutely AMAZING! Easiest class ever. Bound to get an A, only way to fail is if you do no work. He gives you 6 grades total, 3 quizzes, 1 take home exam, and 2 video assignments. He also drops your lowest grade. TRUST ME, take this professor if you need this class.
Thank You Professor Mowell
Professor Mowell , such a sweet man. Corny but funny. His quizzes require you to pay attention. Overall easy class
no reason why you shouldnt get an A, put in the work since the history is very interesting and you'll pass easily. funny southern older man, he loves making the class laugh. his lectures are always fun and if you're early he gives hints for the quizzes. he respects us and what he teaches if you give the same respect back, will miss taking his class
Dr. Mowell is the best social sciences professor at BC. If you need Government, US History, Geography, or anything else he teaches, run and take his classes. He's extremely knowledgeable, kind, and the work is light.
He is amazing and very understanding and cool
I had an excellent experience with Professor Barry Mowell. He has a great sense of humor, is very knowledgeable, and is understanding of his students. Overall, his class was quite easy.
Lectures are interesting and thanks to his humor and energy keep you very engaged. If you put in the effort on the assignments, you will get an A.
Dr. Mowell is an awesome professor. I think this is why he has all these awards and credentials. He really treats his students like human beings, he goes the extra mile for us to pass, and he's so hilarious. His Southern accent makes it funnier. I'm telling you, please take him for gov. Best professor at BC.
Professor Barry is a nice professor. Drops the lowest grade out of 6 assignments. He has good humor and passion for the subject. The book is available online, and everything is open book, but finding answers online can be difficult. However, he is a different person when messaging him online, can be a bit rude. Nonetheless, he is a solid professor.
He is so great! He is very funny and is very supportive. His classes are great and understanding.
One of the best professors Ive had in BC so far. Do not waste your time taking other professors that will load you up on work when you can take this class. Professor Barry is funny, and his class is the easiest A you can find. The whole class consists on 6 grades, 3 at home assignments and 3 at home quizzes. And he will drop the lowest grade.
10000/10. Prof, Barry is the best!!! He made class very fun, with little work and he was always there to help if you didn't understand. Prof, Barry didn't give much assignments and his quizzes were open book:)).
Attendance wasn't mandatory but if you go to class, he gives you hints for the test answer. Lets you turn in work late (but you shouldn't). Pay attention to his lectures, the answer to the tests are there too. He also helps with FCLE prep. Very funny & interesting. He even drops your lowest grade.
Literally the easiest A ever. If you came to class he would give hints on what would be on the quiz. Very sweet and kind.
You're supposed to have the book but it's not needed. Got to the first classes. If you didn't take or pass the Florida whatever test. I won't be much help. PAY ATTENTION. I did pass it in hs so all I did was the quizzes, tests, assigments. make sure to get that online help wink wink. you'll be solid if you don't gotta take the state test. he's nice
please do yourself the favor of choosing him as your prof! he is very kind and caring of his students as well passionate about history, he made it fun to learn about history which believe me isnt an easy thing to be interested in... not a tough grader and is very clear on what he is looking for.
I loved this professor. Hes funny, caring, and overall a really nice guy. This being said, he is very strict when it comes to tests and assignments so make sure you do them before the due date. Theyre pretty easy but also long and tedious. The class is also pretty lecture heavy which gets kind of boring after a bit but attendance is not mandatory.
What an awesome professor!!!!!!!!!! So good at what he does. Im not a history student but i have to say that i learned a lot with him. He inspires you to read and to listen to lectures online. A lot of reading and a lot of writing but easy work. Definitely taking any other class with him.
He was great, he's understanding and realistic, i really recommend. He was hilarious and it felt like an older relative talking about their past when he explained history.
Professor Barry's POS2041 class is a must-take. He's funny, engaging, and makes the material easy to understand. Attend his lectures, use the free textbook, and try unstuck ai for test prep - you'll breeze through this class with an A.
the easiest A ever, please take this class!! there was a total of 6 grades ( I took session 2) all online and super easy, and he drops your lowest grade. he is so sweet, very organized, and super passionate about what he teaches.
Professor Mowell is a straight forward and caring teacher. His lectures were funny and he made sure every topic he went over was thorough. Out of the entire semester he only had 3 quizzes and 3 assignments. His assignments were a bit tedious but as a dual enrollment student if i could do it you can too you just can't be lazy. *Textbooks were online
He is a very good professor, but the lectures are boring. It was only like three assignments and quizzes.
If you're nervous about this course with Professor Mowell this is your sign not to be. This class was far one of the best courses I've taken here at BC. Very detailed lectures and he cares about his students well being and their understanding on material.
10/10 such a good teacher. Would take again 100% recommend
3 assignments, 3 quizzes and a couple video quizzes. Not hard at all, highly recommend.
He is such a sweetheart and he genuinely loves what he does. He makes funny jokes but he also makes jokes related to the topic we are learning which helps a lot. Few assignments but it takes a long time to do but its fine if you pay attention. He makes class fun. I would recommend him to everyone.
Such an Amazing Professor I was surprised that I even got an A because I barely came to class but do you work obviously if you want to pass this class best professor ever !!!!
If I could take this class again with this professor, I 100% would. He makes class super enjoyable, only 3 assignments and 3 quizzes. All quizzes were not proctored and he dropped our lowest grade and decided to make one of the assignments optional! He is very approachable and willing to work with you. Absolutely take him if you can!!
Best Professor I've taken, take him for your history classes!!
Dr.Mowell is an awesome professor. He only gives 6 assignments in total = 3 assignments (long but easy) and 3 quizzes . Quiz timed (2hrs)open book and not proctored . He also drops the lowest grade out of the 6. He does take the full class time, no leaving early but his class is not boring. Attendance optional, lectures not tied to the assignments.
My favorite professor at Broward College. Do the work on time and you'll get a good grade.
A wonderful class with very minimal assignments. The lecture is not tied to the work too much, so I only went to class for maybe 2 weeks. For the entire class, there were only 6 assignments, and he drops your lowest grade meaning you really only have to do 5 assignments. Overall wonderful class got my easy gov credit.
Professor Mowell is the goat. There are 3 assignments and 3 quizzes. The questions on the quizzes are mostly from the textbook, but some rely on the lecture. There is no way you will pass this class with anything less than an A if you just do your work. (also be on time because he provides help with the quizzes)
EASIEST CLASS EVER i highly recommend mowell is a really kind funny guy!!
Professor Mowell is great. He is super funny he calls himself “poo-fessor” as a funny way to mock his students. His assignments are all outlined in the syllabus. I would register for another one of his classes, but sadly they aren't necessary for my requirements. However, if I ever do need an extra social science credit, I am going to look for him.
