Mr.B is the greatest professor that ever lived!! I would take his class over and over again..

Mr. Bob was so awesome. His class is all based on powerpoints and it is fun to watch especially the hilarious random photos he throws in. His tests are self explanitory, if u don't take this teacher you will probably regret it.

very VISUAL... no reading... great handouts! VERY interesting.... GREAT CLASS! best teacher i've had.

great, funny, easy if u do little work required.

At first I thought that the class was a bit too easy. Power point lectures and the tests aren't super challenging. But I think I learned more in this class than in any other History class. Very good storyteller, very cool prof.

Awesome teacher and a nice guy!

He is the best! i had him for Summer 1 2008...luv this guy! i end up making a bad grade on my 1st test..and A's on the rest..he dropped my first test just so i could maintain an A. He is crystal clear w/ his power points that's what you need! he is excellent teacher!

I loved Mr.Bs class! He is way funny and makes the class go by way quick! He posts all his notes and PPs on BB, and gives reviews for the tests and lots of extra credit! You also have to do 2 book reviews to get an A and atleast 1 to get a B-not really that bad! Take him, hes awesome!!

Awesome professor! He teaches very informally and is easy to understand. To me the class was a lot of work, but the class was interesting. Very visual, uses only power-point in lectures. Take Bob or your probably going to regret it!

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! class is MANDATORY, but lecture is very interesting! Spends lots of time on power points & main ideas. Entertaining to say the least! EXAMS ARE TAKE HOME. ( they are tedious and take a lot of time, but well worth an A+ ) 2 book reviews, graded on Excellent, Good, or He will ask you to redue it! Willing to work with

**willing to work with his students in OFFICE HOURS! He spends a lot of time on campus, so finding him was never a problem! He is passionate about his class & the well being of his students. i HIGHLY recommend this class if you are a dedicated, hard working, student! :]

Very awesome teacher!! Take home tests; WILLING TO WORK WITH HIS STUDENTS. Take him if you have the chance..makes history fun and exciting!!! Attendance is mandatory!

Super awesome professor. Very informative. He does repeat certain topics of his lectures but take notes on what he repeats, it's more than likely on the exam. He's super helpful and makes the class pretty entertaining. If you do everything he suggest you can easily ace the class.

This guy is nice and what not but all of his assignments are unesscary. He gives out too much work that doesnt even involve the test. i recieved a C after doing extra credit, all hw, & all book essays and decent on test. In my opinon..he favors the pretty females in the class

Great guy! LOVES his history!! You have to respect that.Challenging and chaotic but really fun! I took BOTH I & II. Show up, suit up & do the work...it's worth it!

One of the best professors I have ever had. I hated history until I took his class. His love for history makes the class interesting. Show up, do the work, study hard, make an A. I cannot thank this teacher enough for all he has done. Took both history I and II

You will not like this teacher if you don't like to show up to class, do not like to do homework, and do not like to do the things college students are required to do. The students who do not like his class are the ones who like to blame the teacher for their bad grades because they do make an effort to go to his office hours. Great teacher!

Best teacher ever! Very good. Go to his office for help, always there to help! Great visual and auditory teacher, hilarious, couldn't ask for a better time this semester!

10 thumbs up!

Professor Bob is the best. His class made me change my major to American Studies. Passionate, modern teaching style, up to 300 slides/class of historical images, people and documents. He will make you fall in love w/ US History. If you come to class, take notes and review them, you'll make an A.

GRADES YOU ON: Attendance, 4 Tests, 2 Essays. LECTURES: POWERPOINT, music, IMAGES!! Outlines on BB, CLASS NECC. all test material on this TESTS are ~50 short answer. FAIR, HELPFUL, very knowledgeable! Just have to talk to him! REWARDS for improvement.. Easy A just to pass? NO. A w. interest & effort? YES. Read&Study PP Notes, use a laptop!

He is a fabulous teacher. Definitely a challenging course but I started by failing both my first tests then I talked to him in office hours and he told me if I was willing to work for it, i'd get the A's i wanted. Go to his office hours he likes to see his students care. i actually made a high b in his class but he bumped me to an a for workinghard

This class is NOT an easy A, but if you come to class, pay attention, and take notes, you'll get the grade you deserve. He has study guides that he suggests you take notes on, and they (for the most part) follow the PP. There are 4 tests, 2 essays (or 1 big one) that are MANDATORY to pass the class. He's very willing to work with you. Go for it!

Prof McConaughy was great! His lectures are interesting, untraditional, and straight to the point. His tests are unique that you get to give him the information you learned and he grades that. We had two book reports and his grading was fair and prompt. He is available during office hours and gave people plenty of notice, options, and assistance.

This man is a rockstar. I've never had a teacher that was as enthusiastic about his subject than McConaughy. He's NOT an easy teacher, he actually requires that you pay attention and learn. The material on his tests are not things you can memorize quickly, attendance is extremely necessary. I'll be taking his US History II class as well.

Tells you everything you need to know in his lectures. There are 4 tests and 2 of them are online. 2 book reports. He is a very easy grader. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I highly suggest you don't skip. If you need any boosting he is happy to do so, as long as you have shown dedication. Huge history buff and makes his lectures entertaining.

Great teacher!! Just make sure to do clear notes, nothing wordy. Very easy prof. if you just show up and pay attention. I couldn't believe people aren't passing. He does ALL blackboard exams. Do a table of contents to find things in your notes, and you'll make an A. Really funny too!

He is very cool and makes class seem so fun, its amazing and he is so fun and keeps you wanting to go to class, and go to class for sure guys its very helpful in this class and do your book reports in time and if possible early, mayor extra credit! enjoy guys

Took for 1301 and 1302. Great Professor. Don't need to read the textbook (Although the textbook is an easy read). Can be a bit all over the place in lecture. Tests are on BB and you can take anywhere, but still study because they are timed. Can use notes on test if time permits (he admits he won't know). Great Teacher, easy class.

McConaughy is great teacher, that said he is really understanding. You'll get an A if you go to office hours, participate in class and take decent notes. He is old school however, don't text in his class but really cant it wait? Also try not to show up late. All tests are on BB, and you have one long essay due at the end of the semester.

He is a great History Teacher! His test are mainly on blackboard so it can be a pain, because it makes it much harder at least for me it did. He is very clear on what you have to do to pass and a very funny and nice man!

He is an awesome teacher! I love history more than ever now! He loves what he does and it makes the class go by so fast! The blackboard tests are a little challenging but not too hard.

He's pretty cool I guess.3 BB Tests, 1 eight page paper over a required reading (400pg min biography of his approval).He's 68yo but lively. 500 slide powerpoints daily, just skims through, but no bullet points/notes.I feel like his teaching style is geared towards high school students, which is not how I learn. Supposed to read book nightly.i dont.

Bob is the sh*t. Contact him if anything happens and he will work with you. Lectures are fun and interesting. Funny. How to get an a: print pp notes before lectures and circle anything he says to note. before exam, take everything he said to note and break it down into a review so youre not flipping through a ton of paper for bb tests. awesome prof

Bob is super cool and will work with you through most things. His tests are a bit difficult to master but you do learn alot just by paying attention in class. The best advice is to print out notes before class and review work through them as you take your hand written notes.

Bob is a cool teacher, he's kinda difficult to talk to, but just try your best to get to know him and he'll try to help you.

Bob is always willing to help you out, you can always find him in the learning lab on highland campus helping students one on one. He obviously cares about his students, ACC is lucky to have such a qualified and passionate professor. Hands down to the best professor at ACC!

pay attention & take good notes in class, yes old-fashion style! names, events should be remembered - it is history :) use key words when you answer test/exam questions talk to him whenever you have unclear info a kind and caring teacher

Amazing class! Rob's a funny guy who made the long powerpoint pres. interesting. Take good notes and pay attention. If you want to succeed, he goes the extra mile to help out. Do good on the 4 exams and write a good essay. From the 1st day Rob made it clear how to get an A, and I learned a lot in his class. Over all wonderful experience.

Great teacher! I highly recommend printing both the power point and the study guide and just highlighting the things he talks about. He goes through slides fairly quickly so you usually don't have enough time to copy everything down. When you answer questions for the test, he wants a list of key words/ phrases, no paragraphs.

Took him for HIST 1, got an A. Took him for Hist 2, also got an A. In order to pass his class, you have to actually look at his review and find the definition and importance of the person/event. I passed because I had amazing classmates that actually wanted to get together and study. I recommend anyone to do the same. Just do your work!!

Disorganized lectures, but still great nonetheless. Knows a lot about his subject will give you the information. Take good notes and you'll pass his tests.

This is a wired proffessor but u might like him hes ight once u get to know him

Great professor. Really understanding when I had a family emergency. He changed his tests from blackboard to in class. Short answers, tries to give everyone best grade they can. Has a lot of office hours and answers emails regularly. Really enjoyed his visuals and topics of lecture and History is usually a challenging A for me but he helped me!

Go to class or you will miss stuff for the test. Very interesting lectures, enjoyable. Cares.

Mr. McConaughy was very nice. He doesn't like you coming late and is all over the place with the lecture. The study guides are huge and impossible to cover everything in them. The test are short answers and allow you to say what you can remember. Gives a paper that will bring your grade up a whole letter grade.

This is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. Professor McConaughy was great and responded quick. Lectures were mostly power points that were always available and made good notes for the test. I have ADHD so I take a little longer on exams and he was more than willing to give me an extension. I would definitely take his class again!

Prof McConaughy is very caring and fair. Wants you to actually learn. I wish he had more classes.

I was in the self guided 6 wk course. Tests are easy, communication is KEY. Very very forgiving, but wants you to open the line of communication to meet your goals. TALK to him. He is very understanding and reasonable.

It seems like the in person class sucks, but I took his online course and it was pretty easy. He cut the total grades of the class from 4 tests to 3, which freaked me out at first but ended up being okay. You have to describe random test topics in bullet points, and have lots of info in short bullets. Very hands off class, but you read lots beware!

I'd recommend this class if you're a good test-taker, as HW only consisted of 3 tests. Tests took 2 hrs & had very specific guidelines for answering questions. BB announcements could be a bit confusing, so I'd definitely stress good communication. Bent over backwards to help when I had technical difficulties w/ a test. Overall I enjoyed this class!
