Very unprofessional! Rude and vulgar. A teacher is supposed to encourage and appreciate his/her students, he doesn't!!

Don't take him.

Terrible educator. Knows his stuff, yes (to be fair). However, puts students down.

I'm taking his online History 109 class and all I can say is RUDE! He's completely unhelpful and when you do ask for clarity he puts you down like you're completely dumb. His online discussion requirements are insane and it's a crazy amount of work. He's clearly passionate about history but I'd rather fail his class than have to deal with him!

The absolute worst teacher I've ever had. He is very vague on what he wants you to do and if you ask him a question he just makes you feel dumb. He grades his papers harder than an English teacher. I love American history but, he ruined it for me. STAY AWAY!!!

crazy amount of homework, like writing essay every week. paper assignments and exams are very tough to get high grade. his grade standard is very high. I am not going to take any class with him again. don't make the same mistake I made. But if you do take his class History 109 or 110, good luck! God bless you.

so sad! tried so hard still end up with a C. class participation is 5 long posts every week, like writing essay every week. paper assignment is so tough too, if you are not good with English and your paper doesn't sound smooth like music, you will not get an A. I didn't know his class is supposed to be that hard. good luck if you take his class.

Big mistake to take his class online. I lost a lot of time and sleep for class discussion posts and paper assignments and still end up with a C. His class might be for those who major in History to earn an A. His grading standard is very tough. he expects you to be very good with History to get an A or B. so be aware and prepared to loose sleep

I took online class. insane amount of class discussion..5 posts each week with each answer required half a page. paper assignment is hard and grading standard is extremely high. his class will take a lot of your time and energy and you don't have enough time for other classes. if you still want to take his class, good luck and God be with you.

Be prepared to face a lot of homework and paper assignments, tons of them that you don't have time for other classes. if you miss class participates, you might get a C. if you work hard on homework and paper assignments, you are looking at a B. To get an A in Professor David Reeves class, you need to really into History, like History is your major.

crazy amount of work. very high grading standard. History class becomes insanely hard with this professor. you will need to spend a lot of time for this class. that's his minimum requirement. To get a good grade like A or B, you will definitely have to work extra hard, go extra mile. it's not a piece of cake with this professor.

homework, paper assignment, and test are extremely tough. believe me I regret I took his class. Professor David Reeves is very hard on students. his class is harder than it supposes to be. if you don't believe it, take his class and you will understand what I said.

The worse teacher I ever had. The way he assigned class works, assignments, and tests, It made me study History as my major more than a GE course. everything is extremely tough to keep up. I don't want to get a low or average grade, so I had to stay up late at night and lost a lot of sleep thanks to the hard work of Professor David Reeves.

Professor Reeves will make you study really hard and really learn history in his class. If you intend to take it to satisfy general elective course requirement, you should not take his class because it will destroy your grade. If you get a B on midterm, you will end up with a B. He doesn't give many extra credit. so good luck!

I took his class was a big mistake. His class is so tough. He has very high standard and very high expectation for students. until now I still have a nightmare dream answering history question in his class. 2 big and difficult paper assignments and not many extra credit to make up for the lost points. hope you don't make the same mistake I did.

Tests, discussions, and paper assignments are very tough. DO NOT take his class period! I was very interested in History. After taking professor Davis Reeves class, my interest was destroyed. He grades your work based on his extremely high standard. He will not take into account you work very hard for it.

No chance to get an A in professor David Reeves's history 109 online class, unless all you study is history.

Feel terrified about professor Reeves History 109 online class. His expectation is way too high. long blackboard discussion, long papers assignment and exams. there is no hope to get an A unless all you do is study History and nothing else!

This class is impossible. He doesn't have a textbook for the class except for 3 novels that have nothing to do with the class. He talks a majority about European history when it's an AMERICAN history class. And when you ask a question or try to answer a question he makes you feel dumb. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Don't waste your time. Reeves goes off topic a lot during lectures and expects us to know questions on exams we never went over. Theres no textbooks or powerpoint to study. His rambling about his past makes you question what to take notes about. You're expected to read 3 novels and write essays for them which is ridiculous for a 16 week class.

Ridiculous expectations. No textbook. Have to read 3 outside books. 4 Papers, 6 quizes, midterm, final. Tears apart your papers. His margin comments are longer than the papers. Tests include information never presented. Goes off topic. Tells stories about all his prior drug use. Very arrogant and pompous. Was an Honor student until I took his class

Honestly one of the worst classes I've had. The professor used filler words constantly when he wasn't reading from his script ("and so on, you get the idea, etc." in between his seemingly angry declarations of "okay!"). He even stated that the Rosetta Stone had ancient Greek and "Aramaic or something." Act like you know the material.

There was no textbook, the lectures only helped when i did the assignments, not the papers or the midterm and final. The guy also likes making fun of his students, he sent me an email telling me i write like a 5 year old, when i only made about two grammar mistakes on my paper. He also decided to give extra credit after the last day of the semester

I have always done well in history, until I took this class. Reeves comes off as arrogant, rude, and unhelpful. He is a harsh grader and will tear apart any paper you write. He seems to be big on grammar, which is ironic because nearly all of his comments are full of errors! This is by far the worst professor I have ever had.

taking this class online, tough grading, not recommend for anyone, who want to write a lot, when i meant a lot, i meant A ALOTTTTT. No multiple choices test or quiz. TThis class is like an English 205 class.

I don't know about other students but I think this teacher is disrespectful, tough grader, and nothing matters to him. I feel like it doesn't matter to him if his students fail or not, unlike other professors. I don't recommend taking this class with this professor.

This professor is very rude and is not willing to help students with disabilities. I also feel that he should be an English teacher instead of history because he is so picky with grammar when he grades papers. BTW, his feedback is full of grammatical errors. His class is easy if you are a native English speaker with perfect English skills.

Do not take this professor unless you want to be trapped into listening to him obnoxiously yell at you via YouTube lectures. His entire introduction video for the class was him realizing he made mistakes in the syllabus and musing loudly to himself that we wouldnt do any of the work he assigned. Just dont. Terrible professor with an attitude.

He is one of the rudest professor i have ever taken. I thought taking him was a good idea since a lot of my friends recommended him. I definitely will not be taking him again. Professor Reeves is not the one to ask for help if you need it, because he criticizes you more then anything. He is really big on grammar and is very strict on that too

The best word to define him is RUDE! Do not expect him to help you, he will simply give you an attitude and say that he is a busy man. I do not recommend this professor, he is rude for no reason. Definitely does not have a passion for teaching. How would I ever like a class where the professor is Rude? RUDE RUDE RUDE

He unprofessionally raises his voice in his videos about students making grammar errors while he's correcting his own grammar mistakes on HIS syllabus in HIS video. Nobody likes the "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude, it's unprofessional.

Reeves seriously is such a tough grader. 6 discussion posts a week that were not difficult & easy points. I don't even think he reads them. Two exams with part multiple choice plus & essay & two papers. He's a grammar nazi. For some of the notes on my paper he just said no. How does that help me? Doesn't teach at all just makes you read the book.

I took his HIST100 Online class summer 2018. I Received an A; the class itself was easy and straightforward. Six Discussion posts a week based on the reading, two papers, a two tests. However as a person, he was rude! Unhelpful criticism on essays, I received a B- for mostly grammatical errors. This HIST100, Not English. Would never take again

Wow. Okay. Very happy it wasn't just me. He had me questioning my ability to form sentences in my mind and translate them to paper. His grading of the two essays I've submitted were terrible! His commentary while grading your papers is literally mean. And yes, he does yell into his videos on YouTube! How is yelling grammatically correct?

I really wish I would have looked on here before taking his History 100 class. He is the hardest grader I have ever had, which would be good if he gave good feedback but he does not. Every assignment that I have turned in and spent a lot of time and thought into he has given me an F & says it is late when I turn them all in on time. Rude professor.

David Reeves is probably the worst instructor I have ever had, he actually told me my world map was a pain for him to look at, he is rude and unprofessional I would not recommend this man to teach a dog a trick. He brings you down with his insulting comments. In order to maintain my self-respect, I had to drop the class, David, you're a Tripp!!

The assignments were easy A. Papers and tests, he grades really tough and writes only negative and bad comments like "no". "no" what??? They made me cry.

Professor Reeves's lectures are hard to follow, he jumps around quite a lot. He incorporates group projects through google drive, which can be extremely confusing. His grading is really harsh, would not recommend.

Hes not a good professor. I took summer classes at UC San Diego and my God those professors graded pretty moderately which is understandable for the since its a UC but David Reeves is just so picky about everything that it isnt even fair. I put so much work into my essays only to get below a C. Do not take this Professor!!!!!!

Do not take David Reeves unless you absolutely have no other choice. Although it's a hist class which means a good amount of reading, this professor takes it too far with overly critical grading and assignments. Reeves himself comes off as v naive and even pessimistic in his syllabus video. He caries this energy into his course work. Stop teaching

Will tell you that your assignment doesn't meet criteria when it does. Rude, lazy, and generally uncaring. Just assigns reading, no lectures or explanations. Drop the class and choose another professor while you have a chance.

I have over 80 credit hours in both online and in person classes. I've had good professors and bad professors, who shined in some areas and failed in others. Never have I had a professor who I can honestly say has no business being in academia, until Dr. Reeves.

I've never encountered a Professor that didn't give REAL feedback on assignments. Instead of writing constructive criticism on my assignments, he would cross out something and write "NO" in red pen throughout my paper. I would have appreciated some form of explanation as to why it was a "no". Very rude when I reached out for help/feedback.

Recorded a long lecture and READ the questions throughout. Respectfully PLEASE give some actual examples. Not everyone will answer these questions in the correct form. Some people have just entered college. Require them to write homework according to college standards, But they may not have much experience.

Professor Reeves gives awful feedback on any assignments except discussion posts which are just a "good post". On any other assignment he just gives you all negative feedback. He expects you to be an expert writer at as a first year college student. Lectures are scatter brained. Too much work for how difficult he grades. Don't take this class.

bro does NOT know how to teach or grade first off, the info that he provided was cool to learn about but his discussion posts were ridiculously long and unnecessary. Also, he gives the absolute worst criticism ive ever heard, sometimes just "no" "problematic" or straight up "?". dont take it if you like to learn tbh

Reeves is a smart guy no doubt, but he's a horrible lecturer and teacher. Doesn't give good feedback especially on papers like many have said just "no" "?" Etc. Things like that and he's a grammar N*z*I an. If u take his class and need help with grammar or writing a paper utilize chat gpt for help and structure. Will be more than he ever provides

Lots of homework. Really tough grader. Knocks off points to boost his own ego. Do not take this class. He makes it really hard for first year students. News flash: this is a GE class. We are not all in line to become community college history professors.
