Teacher was late or missed 3 to 4 class sessions. He picks out the hardest possible question in the book or chapter where the answer has to be inferred from the text and not directly answered. He threw out are last test because it was comprimised.

This is not an easy class. It is, however, very interesting. Dr. Turner is a good lecturer. There is a lot of reading and several writing assignements. If you have an interest in multi-cultural history, this is the instructor to take. If your writing skills are poor, look for a different class.

Super wonderful & caring professor--even noticeable in an online format! He accepts late work, gives great feedback & informative responses to assignments, organized, & the discussions are genuinely engaging. Definitely a lot of reading but that should be expected considering the material of the class (+ he's also just passionate...which is GOOD!).

Professor Turner is one of the most amazing teachers ever! He takes time to read your work sincerely and give interesting insight. Some complain he assigns too much to read, while yes it is a lot, he is the most knowledgeable professor I have ever had in the discipline of history. He assigns a lot to read because of his love for the subject!

This professor clearly stated what needed to be done for every assignment. It is quite a bit of reading but for this specific course the reading is necessary to complete the assignments well. I also enjoyed how he will respond to all assignments with paragraphs of insight about the topic. You can tell he genuinely cares.

Turner was an amazing professor. History is not a subject I enjoy, but at the end of the semester, I enjoyed his class immensely. I had a family emergency and he was extremely kind and unproblematic when I needed an extension. He was also extremely passionate about the topic which made him more interesting and fun to learn from.

Great class, you read the textbook chapter and do a short writing assignment, a discussion post, and a quiz. He is really chill about grading, and if you do the work it'll be fine if you show that you're engaging with the content. Tech-wise he got confused about some due dates--so there were a couple of random changes/extensions.

Would highly advise against this course if you want feedback from the professor, as of now Charles is using Chat GPT to grade assignments. He has openly encouraged the students to use Chat GPT which I feel is a bad mark as a teacher.

Turner's class was very interesting, I walked away with a better understanding of the subject. The class has a predictable weekly schedule with discussions and writing assignments. He is very flexible with due dates and updates students throughout the semester.

I love my African American history class. The literature is great, he responds thoroughly to his students and his grading criteria makes sense! Great professor.

Assignments are due every Monday and include a quiz, writing assignment that is 250 words, and a discussion post. Readings are long, over 25 pages in total. Easy grader. Final and midterm include a quiz that is 50 questions with the last 2 being a writing. Good class but can be time consuming.

Professor Turner's HIST18 class is dense but engaging. The weekly readings and assignments are time-consuming, but his thoughtful feedback and passion for the subject make it worthwhile. Using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook helped me stay on top of the workload.

An easy class, but it happened more than three times where he would get class content mixed up and the students had to write discussion posts they would have to do their own research to. His feedback are essays long; they're practically review of material you've probably already read.

Charles is really easy on grading, he responds really quickly and is very flexible about due dates. Every week you have to do a quiz, discussion post, and a 250 word writing assignment and they are due every Monday. You do have a week after the due date to turn in the assignments.
