Mr. Campbell was honestly the best teacher I've had in college so far. He's very entertaining in all of his lectures, is super helpful in office hours, and was really real with his students. If you pay attention in class, do the readings, and look at the study guide, you'll pass with flying colors.

I had to work and study pretty hard to do well on the tests. Graded off 3 tests worth 25% each and attendance is worth 25%. Lectures are boring and confusing because he jumps around and gets distracted easy but always sends study guides for the tests. If you study those, the powerpoints hard, and come to class an A is easy. EC on all the tests too.

Dan Campbell is a real gem at Auburn. He understands that most freshmen have to take his HIST1010 class as a core credit, therefore he does not overcomplicate it and gives you the tools to succeed. He gives 3 tests a year that are very doable if you go to class. He is also hilarious and makes the classroom a fun space. 100% would recommend.

Your whole grade is 3 tests, one of them being the final which is not cumulative, and weekly homework assignments. The homework was easy and you can finish them all at the beginning of the semester if you want. You will never write any papers or essays, everything is multiple choice. If you have the opportunity to take him as your professor do it.

Mr. Campbell was a great professor. Though he sometimes got side-tracked in class, his lectures were still really interesting. 25% of your grade is Inquisitive (one every week), the other 75% are three exams. He gives you a study guide before each exam though, which makes the exams fairly easy. Great choice for a core course!

He claims that his tests are very easy but only a handful of students make A's. You have to study the PowerPoints thoroughly in order to make decent on the tests. All your grades are 3 tests and inquisitives that don't mean a lot to your grade. He offers no extra credit at the end of class if struggling. I would not take him again.

Great teacher!! Hilarious and one of the best I've had at Auburn so far. I had him for both 1010 and 1020. For both classes as long you read the PowerPoints and study them and the study guides you should be more than prepared for the tests. The tests are straight forward and are his words so use his information given not anything you can look up.

Dont really need to go to class because he posts the lectures on canvas. Just study the lectures and know all the vocab he posts on the review. Its a lot of memorization and terms but that is pretty much all that is on the tests.

Took Dr. Campbell for both 1010 and 1020. Very informative and entertaining lectures and clear expectations. For every exam (which are fair and not hard), he posts all slides and study guide and everything on the guide is what will be on the test. All multichoice. Attendance not mandatory. Straightforward and hilarious. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely hilarious. The exams are not complicated. Attendance is not mandatory but I recommend attending because he elaborates more. Study his lecture powerpoints and REVIEW the study guide. Great professor. I love the sports rants as well, very comedic.

The only grades you get are 1-2 10 point assignments a week (InQuizzitives) and 2 exams +1 final exam. He says his exams are east but others and myself find that to not be true. It's a ton of memorization (80-150 terms every test) and you have to understand each them on a way deeper level than what's needed for basic history.

Best History class I've taken. Dr. Campbell is hilarious and super knowledgable. Class is very engaging and test are really easy if you just show up to class. Would 100% recommend taking this if you need a history credit! Learned a lot and was an easy A.

He makes you learn the class in lecture but also read the textbook because he doesn't teach the textbook. The tests are about the lectures and then there is a couple hours of weekly homework about the textbook. You end up learning the class twice, but it isn't hard to get a good grade if you just invest the time. I managed it with 17 credit hours

Lectures are super boring. Tests are not easy but not too bad as long as you take time to study before. Only grades in the class are tests and inquizzatives

This class was a fever dream. You definitely dont have to go but hes a very entertaining guy if you want to go. He gives study guides for each tests and sends out his slides. Some things he only says in class so its worth it to go. Sounds like kermit, LOVES auburn, has some lore. go to the last day of class

favorite professor i've had at auburn. attendance isn't mandatory but going is worth it because he makes it enjoyable.only homework is inquizitives once a week and the tests are taken almost exactly from the study guides. if he wasn't leaving auburn i'd say take him. if you can find a way to still take him then do it. he's definitely got some lore

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. All of the other reviews are so wrong because I am a 4.0 student and got my first B after taking this class seriously and trying my best to get an A. I am not a huge history person but the class was unnecessarily hard and graded 90% by exams, which are so difficult. Do not listen to the other reviews, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF

He has probably been my favorite professor so far. Dr. Campbell is very funny during his lectures (although he can go on tangents). His tests are pretty straight forward. Make sure you do the study guide and you'll be fine. I'm in engineering and his class was my favorite so far. Awesome prof!!

I barely showed up to class and made a 95 by just doing the study guides. I, however, would recommend going to class because he is genuinely one of the nicest professors at Auburn and is so caring.

Professor Campbell is in a word, "eccentric." His class is VERY easy despite the impression he gives at the beginning of the year. Just study the slides, and you'll be fine.
