I think Prof Sinclair was new to teaching. He had a bit of a rough start and not very much classroom presence, but he rapidly improved after a few weeks. His tests were very fair, and the study guides helpful. I'd take another class of his.

On top of that there's a 5 page paper due with 2 discussion boards that you must post at least 3x on each. There's up to 35 pts extra cred. I struggled to make a B. Took him 6+ weeks to grade.

Didn't get to learn the guy so well because I took him Maymester (only 3 weeks long); however, I did end up making an A- in his class.

I have never studied US History as I am an international student. Prof. Sinclair clarified every question i had. He gives a lot to type. If you are really interested in learning and educating yourself, you would enjoy writing essays. He is dedicated and caring. He is an awesome professor. For the first time in life i loved history ever!!! TAKE HIM!

He was very understanding. I submitted one of my assignments wrong and he easily understood and was very patient with me. He responds very quickly to emails and answers any questions you need answered. This class is a lot of writing though, and you cannot fall behind or you will be working for a long time to catch up.

Take this class if you want to write, I wrote in total about 10,000 words. There are short answers (average 700+), 3 PSA's (500+), 3 exams (800+), and the final (1200+) (extra credit is another short answer 500+). It is exhausting and overwhelming. He also grades incredibly slow, probably because of all the dang work he gives. Did not use the book.
