One of the best teachers that I've had. He is very fair and really helps you understand the material.

If you are looking to take a history class, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! History has never been easier and interesting. He loves what he teaches and he makes it fun for everyone. I always looked forward to his class, he gets to the main points, no boring lectures. The perfect teacher,young,charismatic, and energetic.I got an easy A! Highly Recommend him!

He is an awesome teacher and very helpful. You can tell he really loves history, because he has a way of teaching it to where you really understand and remember it.He dosen't teach boring a** fall asleep type lectures, he keeps it interesting all semester!

I must say History had never been and interest of mine,but Professor Ellis has a unique style of teaching History. His lectures are never boring,must be a good note taker,and we had at least 2 papers which was good. Big on extra credit. Highly recommend him if you want a a great professor. Teaches at Carver Center

I took his online class over the winter break. The quizzes are considered the study guides for the tests. However the test are impossible if you dont memorize the whole book.

I took the winter mini mester class and he is very much so based on the book. In 3 weeks we covered 18 chapters...took 3 tests and did 2 book analysis over seperate books we had to read. He leaves no room for error and wont budge on make up tests even for emergencies. He takes 2 to 3 days to respond to emails and is very strict.

Absolutely one of the best professors I have had! Young, exciting, and interesting. I honestly had very little interest in history before taking this class, but he made me love it at least for one semester. He is not easy, but he is definitely the best prof I have had at Lone Star. TAKE HIM!

MR.ellis is the BEST history ever! He is going for an award for north harris as one of the best professors ever! ATTENDANCE is a must his test come from the notes! there are 3 test and 2 books essays 50 % of grade is attendance. So far i have made 101 on test #1, 98 on test #2 and 90 on book essay HE IS THE BEST AND I AM NOt a str8 A student!! EASy

He is one of the greatest Professors out there. He WILL teach you on a personal basis and teach off the top of his head no book needed. All though he always talks about how handsome he is, he is fun, upbeat and totally great when taking notes and when being in his class. His class is a most definitely one that you would never want to miss!

DEF RECOMMEND!Online spring semester-read & do the work & u will pass!Responds quickly to emails, makes History fun, left learning,enjoying & appreciating history w/ an A. Ellis is understanding & awesome! U wont be disappointed!Great Prof. Wish he was teaching govt-would take any class he is teaching.

One of the BEST professors out there! Attendance is mandatory if you want a good grade. 3 easy tests & final based on notes all from his lectures, textbook is not needed. Made history fun & exciting. Definitely recommend!

Short quizzes that you can do 2x; discussion ques and 2 book assignments. Read the chapters thoroughly and you'll do great on the exams! Learned more than I thought I would. Got 100 on every test. Completely manageable in a 6-week summer session. HIghly recommend!!!

Professor Ellis was an awesome teacher. His lectures were so through and he stopped to let u know what u needed to jot down. Pretty much walked out with 2-3 pages of notes per lecture, all very simple, nothing complicated and blew the tests out of the park. The class was easy if you attended and listened.Also very helpful w/ recomendation letters!

one the best professor I ever had, always engaged in the class. Tries a lot to have a fun relaxed atmosphere. Best part is his notes are all you need.

Awesome teacher; love his lectures and sense of humor has 3 easy tests, 2 book reviews, and 5 short online response papers; the final is based exatly on his lectures; overall he is a easy grader who loves what he does

Professor Ellis is the best!!! It's alot of work but he structures his class in a way that prepares you for everything you'll need. He realy cares about his students and it shows by his willingness to makes sure we understand all details of his lecture. I wish I would have taken him for 1301,im going to miss him!!!

He is such a cutie!!! I have learned so much in his class. His style of teaching is the best. Perhaps he sould give lectures to the older generation of professors to teach them his way! I wish I would have taken him for 1301! I really do. He's great. I will say the two book reviews for a six week cousre. I did not like, at all. But as your in class

Cont***But as your in classyou forget about all of that and he is worth, what I thought was excessive reading!!!! I loved him.

Super funny & outgoing Prof. I have NEVER made an A in history before, just not my subject. Blake made this class SUPER easy & I got an A!! (: Test & Final are NOT cumulative. you do have to write 2 book reports but they are easy I got an A on both. 5 take home assignments that are completion grades. if you are not a history fan TAKE HIM!

This Class was an easy A. Professor Ellis has a great teaching style. I thought that a teacher standing up lecturing would be boring but prof. Ellis was just the opposite. The 2 books read were intersting to me and were very on topic. It was easy for me to take note(he repeats the important things 2 times). I would def. take him! :)

Super easy class for summer. I made an A, and I literally studied for the tests 1-2 hours before. All you had to do was go to class, take notes. 2 book reports, and 5 take home assignments, which I made A's on. He was super funny and enthusiastic in class, and really related stuff to the younger generation. Overall, TAKE HIM! You won't regret it!

Super funny teacher. Fair grader so make sure you do the work. Lots of chances to build your grade. Talks to you like an adult and is pretty cute. No quizzes, just tests, take home assignments and book reviews. Definitely take him.

Dr. Ellis is a GREAT teacher. His class was super interesting and I really loved it. His tests are straight from the notes and 5 questions from the 6 pages in the book. The essays are easy as long as you provide enough details. 2 book reviews throughout the semester and 10 EASY take home assignments. AWESOME TEACHER. jUST MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND CLASS

His teachings is great! Every single tests of his is straight out of his mouth, so it's best that you listen attentively. Otherwise, he allows you to record him so that you can take notes at home instead. 10 take-home assignments that are actually quite simple, 2 formal book essays, 3 tests, and a final which also counts like those 3 tests.

chapter quizzes are due by the midterm and then the other half of the chapter quizzes are due the day of the final. some questions from the quizzes are on the test. but make sure to read some of the book because he requires a lot for the two questions on the test.

Blake is a great prof, he knows his subject and you can tell he's passionate about teaching it. He makes class entertaining and provides a positive learning environment. Lectures and ppt are easy for note taking purposes and missing a couple classes over the semester will not be the end of the world! I would definitely recommend taking him!

Class was super easy, take him! You will have to read but that is to be expected.

He has literally been my favorite teacher so far. He is so interested in the subjects and is so ready to help students and get them involved. Just make sure to take notes because the tests are exactly like the lectures.

Great Teacher! Laid back,can be funny at times. His lectures are pretty long though. "I'll put it bluntly" if you don't go to class you WILL NOT pass.He DOES NOT Provide a study guide for any of his exams. You really have to make sure to pay attention and take notes. Be ready for at least 3 pages (front and back)of notes each lecture.

I love Blake! Took him for 1301&1302 and made straight A's. His exams are exactly like his lectures. I went to class, took notes, and just reviewed maybe an hour before each exam and it was easy. You have to go to class because there is no study guide for the exams! He's funny and the lectures were never boring. I'm glad I took him :)

Took Online and got an A, but don't expect and easy A. You have to work for it.Consist of quizzes, midterm, final, 2 book reports. He requires alot of detail for his essay questions on tests and for the book reports. I mean alot of detail!

Best professor I have had. Loved him. Very, very funny and extremely smart. Keeps you awake. Tests- He tells you what to read for MC,gives you options for essay part. Two book reports. Must go to class and take good notes. He emphasized on what you need to know. If you can, take him.

Loved him! Best teacher I have had. Absolutely recommend him!Very funny, extremely smart.Tests-he tells you what to read for MC, gives options for short answer part. Two book reports. Must attend class for random in-class asgnmts, and take good notes, no review given nor needed you will remember everything he says, is very comical during lectures.

I took his class online he gave us all our assignments from the start, Quizzes are straight from the book (easy!) he gives you notes which where very useful. I want to work at my pace and this was the perfect class for it, finished all my work a month before class was over and he will also answer questions rightaway unlike other classes ive had.

Great instructor! Communicates well and witin a timely manner. Posts all assignments at the beginning of class and you work at your own pace. Summer work consisted of 5 discussion posts, 2 essays, 13 chapter quizzes, mid-term, and final. Take Dr. Ellis' classes if you have a chance!

One of the best teachers i ever had, great personality, his class is fun, highly recommended

Took Prof. Ellis for a summer mini and he was extremely easy going. He opened all of the course work at the beginning of the semester so us students could work at our own pace. ALL tests and quizzes were open book, BUT you do have to study for them. If you don't YOU WILL FAIL! Uses great books and the online discussions were very interesting.

Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about hist. 2 book reviews, 10 takehome assignments, 4 test. Emphasis what u need to know for tests. Very easy going and always happy to help. Very timely in responding to emails/questions. Take him if u can, u won't regret it

Mr. Blake was awesome, he helped when needed with instructions. He made history interesting and was loud and clear with his lectures. He paces during lectures but it didn't bother me. I studied and did well I got an A in his class, I recommend him!

Awesomely entertaining and keeps your attention aimed at the material being taught at all times.

He was awesome and funny

Best History teacher ever! He is so much smarter than the book so make sure to always go to class. Plus his lectures are very entertaining. I would absolutely recommend him. You wont regret it!!

Mr. Ellis is an awesome teacher!! He's always on time and expects you to be on time as well. Attendance is mandatory since that's your in class grade. We take 4 test your final is the last test, 10 take home assignments, and 2 book reviews. You will not regret taking him!!

Best teacher ever!!! Really made the subject interesting. Also very funny and keeps the class entertained while lecturing. Take him if you get a chance! I regret not taking him for 1301

Good teacher. You understand and like alot of history afterwards. As long as you take notes and attend class you should pass fairly well. Make sure you do good on book reviews

great professor. very funny. He says he comes druunk to class, but he just kidding he very sarcastic. His lectures are interesting, he tell you what you need to write down for exams. he is very flexible gives you all assignments beginning of semester, he grades fairly easy compared to Alex Smith. 4 tests, 2 book reviews, 10 take-home...

He is a great proffesor. the best i have ever had. You need to take him. I went in not caring a lick about this topic and now find myself talking about it. He will change the way you think about school and professors. :) seriously amazing teacher

Professor Ellis is extremely organized and fast with posting grades. His classes are very easy as long as you take notes and attend class.

He makes the class so interesting and fun. You DON'T need the book at all because he doesnt believe all the important stuff are listed in the book. you do have to attend class though because you need to take all the notes, as long as you can take notes you will get an A . I HATE history and always failed but i made an A in this class.

20 quizzes, 2 test, and 2 book reviews. He is clear on everything, responds to emails that same day. Just follow the syllabus it is accurate and you will do fine and be able to work ahead. I was able to do all the quizzes in 1 day. Would take him again.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I'm not at all interested in History but he made it worth the learning! He is very clear with his lectures. TAKE NOTES and read the assigned readings! Tests are multiple choice and essay. Challenging, FUN, and makes you interested to EARN AN A!!! :)

Great Professor!!! Show up for class on time and take notes and you should be fine!!I struggled in previous history classes with D's and whizzed by his class with an A. He does not teach from the book and he values class time so there are random in class assignments. Best professor I have ever taken in college. TAKE HIM!! You wont regret it!!!

Absolutely BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Take his class! He makes his class fun and interesting. Show up to class and take lots of notes and you will be fine.I did not like history before I took his class and he made it so interesting that I enjoyed learning all about history. You will not regret taking his class! :)

I WAS NEVER INTERESTED IN HISTORY AND THOUGH THAT IT WAS A SUPER BORING SUBJECT TIL I MET BLAKE! HIS CLASS IS FUN, INTERESTING, AND INFORMATIVE. IF YOU WANT A CUTE, SMART AND INTERESTING PERSON TEACHING YOUR CLASS. TAKE HIM! ?

I took History 1302 in the summer and it was difficult to keep up with the large work load that Professor Ellis assigned. He also graded pretty hard, maybe you have to attend his class in peron to obtain a good grade in his class. Pick another Professor for History 1302 if you take it online. My GPA dropped significantly after this course!!

Dr.Blake Ellis is the BEST history professor Lone Star has to offer! Very straight forward about his expectations, but also funny. Summer session consisted of 4 tests, 10 take home, and 2 book reviews, but you could work on these sooner. Keep in mind this is a COLLEGE course. (Blake you definitely earned yourself a chili pepper!)

EASIEST & NICEST teacher i have had at lone star. very helpful and makes every topic understandable and not boring at all. if you go to class and listen, you will pass. TAKE THIS CLASS! :)

EASIEST AND NICEST teacher i have had at lone star! he is so helpful and makes every lecture fun and understandable. if you attend class & pay attention, you will pass. TAKE THIS CLASS :)

He is very thorough. Although it's online, try to communicate with him through emails in appropriate manner. He's a hard grader but very helpful. If you are a serious student who wants to study seriously, take him. Tests consist of multiple choice (Google-able)and essays. 2 bool reviews, 15 quizzes and 5 discussions.

Hes pretty cool take him notes resemble the test

He's easy. I missed one review book, so I got B.

Professor Ellis was pretty awesome! Made history interesting. He expected a lot from the you as an Honors student but he was an easy grader. His lectures were not boring and very short. Test were easy if you studied and read the material. I would highly recommend taking his class if history is not your interest. Books are a must have!

He is the living prove that Lone Star College is so underrated. Dr. Blake is such an awesome teacher! His lectures were the highlight of my week. No, I'm not kidding. He is helpful, funny and accessible. I enjoyed how passionate he was in his lessons. I encourage you to take him for the sake of knowledge; you won't regret it!

I took this guy with the belief he was easy and helpful and I found him to be anything but. I made As on all my multiple choice assignments and tests but when it came to the written stuff, I barely passed. Idk how he grades, but caution when taking him.

Just got my first 70. Ever. Grades papers more like an English class. Thinking about dropping the class, again, for the first time EVER. I have never dropped a class but this might be the first one. Terrible experience.

Best professor at Lone Star College! He cares about students, knows so much about history, and loves teaching. Take him if you can!

Makes lectures very interesting and funny, hard not to pay attention to. As long as you show up to class you should pass, there is honestly no reason to fail.

I personally hate history and i told Dr. Ellis that the first day of class. He has made it very interesting and fun! He is a super funny guy and is a great professor. You have to show up to class on time and stay the whole class. He lectures but if you basically write down everything he says you wont have to worry about anything. laptops are best

My favorite History professor ever! Very smart and hilarious, Dr. Ellis is very passionate about teaching and History. Definitely worth class to take. He is very lenient and gives good grading if he sees that you're trying. I loved his lectures and class. There is no way to fail his class. Pay attention in lectures and stay ppts for exams.

Consist of 2 Book Reviews, 5 Discussions, 14 quizzes, and two exams. Take him! If you want to get history out the way in the summer, he is the professor to take. It is not a difficult class, but it requires dedication. Ignore all the negative comments! He is flexible. Meet the deadlines, read the books and pay attention! You will pass with an A!

I took him because everyone said he was a good professor. That's wrong I got a D from him and I was struggling with history. I am not very fond of history and I thought he would help me out. Apparently I was wrong, if you struggle with history don't take him. He wont help you will say to go back and look at the textbook. Also rude towards me...

I took this class during summer, and Dr. Ellis was an awesome professor. His lecture were funny, and he made them really interesting. The class consist of 4 test, 2 book report, 1 take more assignments, and 1 in-class assignment. Dr. Ellis stays after class until he has answered all the questions, and he is really helpful during his business hours.

He is the best! His classes are so easy and the test are as easy as his classes IF you pay attention, give extra credit, he is funny and always let you get out early.

Took online. Midterm and final exam which he gives like 2hrs. Quizzes for every chapter, so reading the chapter is must. 5 discussions which reading is required. 2novels which a 4 to 5 pg paper reviewing the book was assigned. Opens everything up the 1st day of class, so work on your own pace. Extra credit is 10 points on final. No testing center.

Professor Ellis is a good teacher. I took him for Online during the Fall 2015. All materials and notes are all open on the first day of class. There are two novels that must be read and are required to have a book review after. As long as you read the two books you will be fine. I recommend him to anyone who needs History. Good professor.

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Pops many jokes to keep class alive, very easy grader, test material is exactly what the lectures are over. Attendance is important as part of your grade is showing up. I have never enjoyed history, but with this professor, it is now my favorite subject. Taking 1302 with him as well.

Best teacher at lonestar without a doubt.

If you come to take class and take notes, you will pass. His test are based on the notes given out in class. His style of teaching makes you want to come to class. Very fast and easy grader. 10/10 would take again!!!! Attendance is part of your grade.

Professor Ellis is BY FAR the best professor I have ever had! If you are not taking his class, you are missing out on a great opportunity! I am nowhere near a history person, but he made this class fascinating. As long as you listen to his lectures, you will do fine on the exams. Not much homework, but some pop quizzes, so do the readings.

Professor Ellis is a great professor. He is very passionate about what he is teaching and he makes it fun to learn. the class never went once without laughing during the lecture. He takes time to get to know his students and will always be honest and there to help if you need it. You have to take his class!

Prof. Ellis has a way of lecturing that is both hilarious and informative. There are 3 exams and 2 book reviews. Other than that there is no other homework. Take this teacher if you want to enjoy class!!

Great teacher. Gives a few reading assignments and papers, but overall nothing over the top. Very funny. Highly recommend.

Blake is such an amazing teacher! He makes it seem like he wants to teach and he makes the environment really comfortable. He's serious yet funny. He gives easy point like just showing up to class. Very open minded and chill I would for sure take him again.

Professor Ellis is very knowledgeable and helpful. Despite history being a very boring subject, professor Ellis can make things very easy to understand, and if the subject is still complicated, at least he's nice to look at.

Pay attention in class, take good notes, study for tests, do not procrastinate on your essays, and read before class. You will enjoy this class!

GET THIS PROFESSOR! He is very smart and is inspirational. He makes History fun to learn and cracks jokes through his lectures. He is respected by the students. He's a cool dude, someone you would want to grab a beer with.

Great Professor!

He is a such a great teacher! His lecture is amazing. As an international student, I get inspiration to study American history by him! I take history honor class which is not really easy for me but I really like the way he teaches and his assignment helps us improve our critical thinking skill.

Professor Ellis is one of the best professor ever. His lectures are awesome, if you show up for class every time and listen to his lectures, as well as doing the assigned reading, there should be no reason why you don't get a A or B in his class. I love this professor just finish final exam for history 1302.

I took the entire class in 3 days while taking care of a newborn. I admit that I read the books before the class started. The textbooks can be found online for free in PDF version. The 2 books for essays I got for free through a trial with audible dot com. Ironically though I learned more than my last 8 week history class. Kudos Dr. Ellis.

Blake has been my favorite professor ever, he is so funny and easygoing. His lectures are entertaining and he is great at explaining everything. If you study and do what you're supposed to there's no reason to get a bad grade. I learned so much in his class, would definitely take it again!!!

This professor understands you have a life besides school and is just the best. If you are deciding to take history online I would highly recommend this professor. At first your overwhelmed because all the assignments are open, but they are open so you can finish them when you can! I would take this Professor again.

Wonderful professor with a great sense of humor to keep the class awake. Tests consist of easy multiple choice questions derived word for word from the notes you take in class. If you fail any of his tests, you should schedule a visit with your elementary school counselor so that you can sign up and re-take fifth grade history.

Probably one of Lone Star College's most genuine professors. Hilarious lectures and clear notes are sure to make you enjoy the class and get a good grade. You take a good amount of notes but his lectures are so engaging studying is a breeze. He does wear this shirt sometimes though... it's red and blue and white. looks 3D. very distracting

Mr. Blake is an amazing teacher, he is very smart professor and he understands that we have life besides school. He has 3 tests that if you study your notes you should get an A. He also has two book reports. Overall he would extend deadlines if he had to in order to help the students. He is very funny and cool. WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN.

He is one of the best teacher, I made a lot of mistakes that was not acceptable and he still helped me and i made an A. He always helps students and give them chance to fix there mistake. The best teacher

He is an awesome professor! If you have the opportunity I suggest taking both his 1301 and 1302 classes you will not regret it.

I loved taking Professor Ellis! His lectures were amazing. I am NOT a history person, but I actually learned a lot in his class. He loves to travel and he will show you pictures if he's been to a place that we are learning. I always loved going to his class just to here his lectures and the stories he would tell. I highly recommend this professor!

Grades quickly and fairly. Replies very quickly to emails. His online HIST1302 class is at your own pace except for major assignments (2 papers & 2 tests) which have due dates. Workload is reasonable. Quizzes are easy but you have to study for essay portion of tests. For papers, just answer the questions; no preferred format and no thesis required!

TAKE ANY CLASS BY HIM. Seriously, he's great. Do not pass up an opportunity to learn from him. He's young, hilarious, energetic, modern, and interested in his students. His tests are hard but not unnecessarily so. If you really study hard, you'll do fine. Oh and, TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!

ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE VISABLE IN THE BEGINNING. THERE ARE DEADLINES AND NO EXCEPTIONS AFTER DEADLINES. 2 PAPERS,AND 18 QUIZZES. 2 ESSAY QUESTIONS ON EACH EXAM. ONLY 2 EXAMS. GIVES AWESOME FEEDBACK. 5 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. HE IS A GREAT TEACHER

Took his online May minimester class and it was great! He opens up everything so you can work at your own pace! At first it is overwhelming seeing all the assignments but its honestly not bad. As long as you turn everything in and do good you can pass with an A. Make sure to actually read the two books assigned for the book reviews!

If you are here searching up Blake I would waste no time and go add HIM to your schedule ASAP!! His Classes get filled up quick!! I honestly HATED History with a passion. After taking him I can honestly say I have learned so much in a summer class I would have never thought I had. (And we're half way into the semester) GET READY TO READ & HAVE FUN

Blake is a really good professor! He loves travelling he's a hilarious professor that works his best to get the whole class to pass. One thing I learned this summer is he's like the most popular professor ever! Sometimes Paparazzi shows up to take pics with him. (TRUE) I mean who wouldn't want a smart, young professor with good looks? TAKE HIM!

He was really excited about himself, but I did not feel the same about the class.

Dr. Ellis is an exceptional professor who enjoys educating students by employing his charismatic and charming approach. Not to mention, a hilarious and attention-grabbing lecturer with a stupendously stylish look that you will be unable to take your eyes off of. It is truly unbelievable how much someone would have you so excited about history.

HE IS THE WORST

He is a great teacher! If I could take him again I would. I took him during Summer 2 and I had a blast being in his class. He makes the lectures entertaining, so you never have to worry about being bored. He has easy 10 take home assignments, 2 essays over books you have to read, 3 tests,and attendance included. Take his class, you won't regret it!

Dr. Ellis has great charisma and explains things in a way that is easy to remember. He makes the class enjoyable and you will end up liking history more than you ever thought you would. Dr. Ellis also gives you great feedback on your papers and genuinely cares about your success. You'll be glad you took his class.

Dr. Ellis is the best professor I have ever had. The lectures are enjoyable and he explains it in a way you can easily remember. He is hilarious and when you leave class you find yourself anxious to come back. When it comes to his exams you will find that he prepares you to ace his exams and he genuinely cares about your success.

Took him for his online class and this class is very overwhelming. Do not take him

I took this dude online this summer. Let's just say his class work load is too much to handle. The only good part was he would open everything up online in advance. I took this class with a friend online and people told me he is much better in person. I can not judge him in person but I will say Online it is too much. This dude needs to chill out.

This professor is amazing!! would be happy and willing to work with you. I'm in the reserves and talked to him, and explained to him that i could be deployed at anytime! he was willing to work with my schedule. amazing professor. would highly recommend.

Great lectures, never a dull day, don't bring an apple bring Starbucks

I did not like this class at all!

Professor Ellis is very good. He makes his class very dynamic. It is very important that you have a good attitude towards the class and show that you are working hard, then You'll be fine.

Dr. Blake Ellis is one of the best teachers I have had ever since I have been attending classes at Lone Star College. He grades everything in a timely manner and responds to emails in a timely manner also. Great teacher, I would totally recommend!
