he is such an awesome teacher! it is a very essay class too! take him =)
He is great! Classes are so interesting and he is so knowledgeable! I took all my 3 humanities classes with him.
Keeps you awake. He talks about very interesting stuff and gets the whole class involved.
His knowledge exceeds that of Cicero. If male angels existed on earth, they would surely look him.
Very knowledgeable professor. Presents things to the class in an easy-to-grasp manner.
Why,Jon,why... why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock?
very easy, but you learn a lot if you participate. Much of it common sense and could easily get bored, so participate!
ideal teacher, very willing to help, interesting topics
This is a very easy class to pass as long as you have a brain that functions properly. Awesome teacher who actually makes you think outside of your pathetic high school mind. Multiple choice tests with easy answers from whatevers he writes on the board.
Took 2 hum. with him, Mithology and Intro. Great professor! I could say he is one of my mentors. Great class as well.....inspires you to be better and to think outside of the box. I have the privilege to say he's my friend as well.
He is awesome! He is very knowledgable, and you can tell he loves what he teaches. His tests are easy, as long as you pay attention in class and take notes. He gets the class involved and he relates things to the real world. He makes HUM interesting.
Well versed in everything he taught....Always gave good examples
I took this class in the hope that i would learn something new about mythology. I didn't. This class was the biggest waste of time ever. Had I known this from the start, I would have either taken a different teacher or dropped the class right away.
He is a great teacher, who can relate anything to the opic of discussion. I recommend this professor
Highly recommended if you really want to learn something from this class! I'm taking all my humanities classes with him. GREAT PROFESSOR!
Great proffessor. Highly reccomended.
Excellent professor who makes everything easy and clear to understand. I have decided to take all my humanity courses with him.
he is very interesting...also he loves to talk about anything and everything. I highly recommend this teacher. If you can take him for any courses you need in humnanities.
Mr sutton is a great teacher, he's so interesting to listen too. He should be a motivational speaker, he's really positive and probally one of my favorite teachers ever
He's a great teacher and he can talk about ANY subject. He makes the class interesting and I highly recomend him for ANY course
Mr. Sutton is an amazing teacher. His lectures are so interesting and his tests are very fair and most of the questions are from notes and their all multiple choice. Next time i take a hum. class i'm definatly going to take him!
I love this professor! He is by far my favorite. His lectures are aimed toward our generation and he always makes sure that we understand the material before moving on.
He is a great professor he knows exactly what he's talking about. He is a very educated man and he's very friendly and nice. *****Recommend him to everyone****
He is incredibly knowledgeable and relates his topics and knowledge to the lives of his students. He teaches life lessons and I'm impressed with his ability to translate ideas into understandable concepts. Incredible teaching!
His expectations from his students is very high. B/C of this, you have to work hard for his papers. He is a rather touch grader. All this, though, is worth it to take him. His lectures are always very interesting. He is one of my favorite teachers.
I absolutely love Mr. Sutton and would recommend his class to anyone needing a humanities class. I learned so much from him and looked forward to going to class everyday, which is not something I say to often. His intro to humanities class was my favorite
He is unlike any teacher you will ever have in your life. He teaches you about life and all the things that are encompassed in it. He teaches you things that will make you a better human being. His tests were a breeze and we only had 1 homework assignment
Words will fall short to describe this amazing person. If you have not taken Sutton, then you are definitely missing something important. Take Sutton and Enlighten yourself.
Sutton was definitely easy, but my issue didn't come until the end of the semester. For the first paper, he took 5 weeks to get it back to us. For the second paper, he said I had an A on it after looking it over but then gave me a B.
He makes you think about life, not just the books you read in this class. His teaching technique is excellent. He relates to what is happening in our lives. He expects us to think not just sit there and his lectures are very cool. Take him!
Sutton is so freakin awsome, he really opened my eyes to so many things, i am seriously so greatful. U have to take him, trust me, this guy is so insightful. Just give it time, you will understand half way thru the semester y he's so great, when it hits u
Great teacher. I recommend him to everyone for any course. Whenever I go to class, I come out feeling a little more enlightened and a lot more refreshed.
Great Teacher. You really learn a lot about life and can apply it. You have 2 exams and a paper and that is it. The exams are all essay written, but are graded on a curve. He is one of my favorite teachers at Valencia. You won't be disapointed!
he is an awesome teacher. he presents his material in a fun way and is NEVER boring. he gives fair tests and covers all the material. i would recommend him to anyone and i think he has been my best teacher at VCC.
I thought that his teaching was so incedible! Thanks for teaching this course, even though you will ONLY teach the HUM prefix, according to the Provost. That also includes partner M. Spencer too!
He's vert smart. Loved his class, well, hot guy in my class...ended up being my best friend. Take him (if it's still open).
He was one of the most enlightening teachers I've had. I looked forward to his metting in his class each day. Only 2 tests and a paper make it even better because he doesn't focus on grades. Class discussions are very intense.
i have always been a very straight forward logical person. but....after taking sutton, he made a philosopher out of a simple scientific person like me. amazing!!
He was one of the best professors i have ever had.. i leanred to much about life in his class and he enlightened me!!! Hes awesome and is always willing to help with anything you need..
AMAZING CLASS!! The best I have ever had. Made me thing constantly. Taking his mythology and enlightenment classes next semester because he is awesome. TAKE THIS GUY'S CLASS!!
Mr. Sutton is so awesome. He's my favorite teacher at VCC. He's so nice, helpful, and encouraging. I always look forward to class; the discussions are a lot of fun. I'm taking him this semester and again next semester. After taking his class, i've become so interested in philosophy and psychology :)
best teacher ever. He knows his stuff and he always has an answer to your question. I've taken him for two semesters in a row and again for this spring. You have to take one of his classes you'll learn a lot about philosophy and apply it life.
Good Teacher..Only 2 papers and a really easy final.Sometimes you might feel really lost but just go with it, its worth it
Easy, show up, listen, and you will do good. 2 Papers and a final that is word for word from the study guide. He's funny and it is an interesting class.
he's kool but i wouldnt recommend taking him in the morning, because he can talk! and you sometimes tend to doze off. But he's an inspiring professor.
He's awesome and smart. He knows what he's talking about and makes your wheels turn. Really makes you think and question the simplest things in life. Very interesting and easy. Just show up (and attendence does count...3 or more one letter grade gone). Easy FINAL!!! A+++
Great professor. Great topics are talked in class. Makes you look life in a different way. I'm sure he will have an impact in your life.
Prof Sutton's ratings are all wrong. All he does is lecture and his papers are so hard to write. He doesnt tell you what he wants on them until about a week before the papers are due. It was a stressful and boring class.
Mr. Sutton is an amazing professor. The content covered in his class seems difficult at first but makes so much sense after he breaks it down for you. I took three of his HUM classes and loved all of them. Get engaged with class discussions to get the most out of his class. Easy tests!!
Sutton should be the Dean of the College of Liberal Studies. Swings very far to the left. Other than preaching to the class about his political views, he is actually a great teacher. I got a lot from his class, and would take him again in the future.
Very "Hot" professor. He alone makes you want to go to class. Very smooth talker. His papers are not easy though. He has a specific format and his grading can be a little harsh. But who cares, I learned stuff in that class that I'm still thinking about today (took him in 2001). Besides, he's hot!
I had Mr. Sutton about two years ago and this guy is awesome, easy, and really cool.
Took 2 classes. Best teacher you'll ever have. Always says poigniant information and breaks down topics to make them applicable to every portion of you life. Papers are fun to write to make you think. Best teacher I have honestly ever had. Appreciate every moment with this guy.
He is always very helpful.He makes you think about the way society is run without pushing any views just the truth.It is an inspiration to hear him lecture about our society and the advances we have made.If you are lucky enough to get into one of his classes it will stick with you for life HE ROCKS
He is probably the most boring teacher I have ever taken. I admit he is hott and does make you think,but was a jerk. Doesn't get up at all just lectures the entire class, gave only 2 assignments which were 2000 words ea. One on relativity and the other on existentialism, easy exam, UNFAIR GRADER
Different approach to mythology but overall, many life lessons in his course. Three big essays determine your grade. Good teacher, I would take him again.
PURE GENIUS. This class changed my way of viewing life.
Mythology focused on the mythology of life not gods. Class is fun and makes you think. People say teachers make you think but this guy will make you think and change your life. Out look on things is original. Treats you like an equal and will never look down on you.
It's true, when you come out of this class, you will look at life diff. He's so laid back and just wants ppl to enjoy life, only flaw is the 2 essays, you only have 2 grades so you gotta do really good on them. Final is a breeze. They are like 1,000 word essays btw. But great/hot professor!
This was an awsome class. Sutton is very laid back and so inspiring. He teaches you to look at things in a different perspective. I learned alot about life in this class. He only gives like 3 tests so you have to do good but all questions are from the notes. Pretty easy
Awesome Professor! Class was laid back and interesting. He was very helpful, easy to approach, and got you to think about life. If you're looking to take a myth class focusing specifically on the Greek Gods and such, this class isn't for you. He applied the theory of mythology to life today. I highly recommend him!
Great teacher enjoys what he is teaching. Only 1 test and he just likes you to write a good paper. Would recommend him to annyone!
Great teacher, Interesting things that he says
i took him 2 semesters in a row and I have to say that he is my favorite teacher. His classes actually focus more on philosophy even though they are supose to be humantities. I liked going to his class everyday and i never skipped. His grading is a little tough but everyone that did their work bot A's and B's!
He is a really fun guy. Makes sure you understand what he is talking about before he continues with the lesson. Taking his class will also help you out in other classes. He helps you look at things in a ways you never thought of. DEFINATLY take him
No Comments
Wow, I thought I was the only one who though this guy was hot, haha. Seriously he is the best professor I've ever had. He really made me think and question the world around me. I can't wait to take another one of his classes.
Great teacher, shows u the other aspect of humanities and life lessons, skills that u will actaully need!! def. recommend him
WOW! Mr. Sutton changed my outlook on life. We went over Logic which was difficult. However eveything else was much simpiler from then on. I strongly recomend this pro.He was engaging in a phylisopical sense.It was a pleasue going to this class. I took ot once a week for about 3 hours and time would fly by. I give Mr, Sutton an A!He's got my vote!
Awesome teacher! His humor borders cynicism/sarcasm but he is honest which I think is admirable. Class isn't easy but it's not hard. He makes you think about things instead of just handing you the answers. Best teacher in my opinion. Take him if you want to learn about yourself and other people.
wonderful prof!!! he's very insightful and wise! knows what he's talking about! awesome teacher! i advise taking him for intro to humanities... if you decide to take it! ^_^
I have to say this professor I would highly recommend. He definitly gives alot of life lessons and is not too hard on the eyes. He reallly gets you to understand. 4 tests and a presentation. I would definitly recommend
This professor is one of the most dangerous types out there. He makes you think you're thinking for yourself, but presents everything in a way that furthers only his own view. Even tried to convince our class that there was no bias of any type in his teaching. Stay away unless you like being brainwashed. This man is not to be trusted.
The only way to fail this course is to try. Teacher works with you and is always available to talk about papers, tests, etc. He presents material objectively and lets us make our own decisions. He encourages us to question things and to make decisions that affect our lives. Isn't that what humanities is all about?
One of the best professors at Valencia, very relexed- almost no work whatsoever, he sums up your total grade with a midterm exam, a powerpoint presentation, an 8 page essay, class participation grade and a final exam. Nothing else! And ladies, if you dig the intelectual type of guy, you're really gonna enjoy yourself. Cheers!
Horrible, gave assignments 24 hours before due via email, required hard copies when he never gave us any, never gave us grade on oral presentation, multiple assignments counted towards "participation grade" instead of being on syllabus, which didn't contain any important information, including dates. Also didn't give the required class eval so we could let the college know.
He may have been a good teacher before but he sure is not now.
I liked him during class discusion but was frustrated by the assignments and getting a mid term on a book that we didnt spend any time on in class.
I do not know what they are talking about. He is a great teacher and he tells you in his first class that your class participation will count towards your grade. As long as you do the assignments and read it in the class, you will be fine. Also he is very helpful.
An intellectual man if i ever met one. Barely spoke a word about humanities, but the class sure was easy as well as fun. I loved every minute of it, though you must participate if you want a grade. HIs class consisted of logic exercises and a test on it, a power point, a film, a book and a test on it, and a final....nothing else really.
Great teacher as long as you do your homework assignments you should pass, he expanded the way of thinking towards life. Makes humanities into a different perspective and very enjoyable, you will learn a lot from him. The things he will talk about will stick with you for a long time even maybe forever
Great Professor! Teaches life lessons by allowing you to get out of the course what you are willing to put into it. Willing to work with to understand concepts. He makes learning fun and every class discussion causes you to think and question. Best Humanities teacher that VCC has!!!
Professor Sutton- is Professor stud. He is such an interesting man. I really enjoy the discusions and lessons he teaches. I love his class. It's great food for thought! (He is also easy on the eyes).
One of the best humanities teachers ever!! He will totally open up your mind and ideas to introduce new ones, that you are sure to carry with you the rest of your life. One big essay and your final,and oral report and 10 class participation paragraphs, that's it. His discussions are amazing and will keep you thinking long after class is over.
He is awesome. Makes you really think and exercise your brain. One of the best teachers I have ever had. He is really chill but you can't slack in his class. Relates info to every day life. Highly recommend!
One of the best teachers I have had at VCC. He relates the entire class to life and makes you start thinking about your own. Not a class where u memorize Gods. The final is multiple choice that he gives you a study guide for. Not an "Easy A" class but if you put forth the effort not a hard A either. Highly recommend this teacher.
Horrible professor. Definitely brainwashes his students. Everyone who THINKS you're getting an unbiased point of view, you're sadly mistaken. He puts everything in a way that just convinces himself that his opinions are always right. Very closeminded. And VERY picky on his essay, I'm an English major and recieved a failing grade. I hated this guy.
I took him for 20th century humanities and thought he was awesome. Homework is graded on completion not necessarily if its right or wrong. One presentation, one paper and a final. he doesn't lecture really it's more of a discussion which makes it much more interesting. Hes personable and a very easy class if you attend.
Awesome Teacher, Interesting Class. Grade based on 4 things: 1 Essay (2000 words), 10 Class Participation, 1 Powerpoint Presentaion and Final Exam. A good amount of reading. BEWARE: A Critical Analysis of People and the World. I ENJOYED THIS CLASS VERY MUCH.
Laid back, class is more of a discussion than lecture. tests are easy if you do your reading and the review. topics are interesting. i got a B with minimal effort.
Mr. Sutton is a really great teacher. He encourages his students to think outside the box and stop the standard way of thinking. His homework assignments are comprehensive and his essay is basically a few of the homework assignments with alittle extra material. Great teacher, learn a lot and he teaches you to read for comprehension.
Mr. Sutton was an Awesome teacher. Most of the comments here are right on. He teaches mostly conceptually and not on if you are right or wrong, except of course on tests. There is a Midterm and Final which he gives you word for word a guide to these tests. Learned a lot from class discussions. Highly recommended.
At first I thought he was a bore but as the semester went on I loved to hear him speak. Has a monotone voice that might make u sleepy but wow what a mind! Tests are too easy. Just midterm and final. U NEED the text books! Can not attend class w/o it. Never stressed attendance but school guidelines apply. Recommended. Just not in the morning.
I took him for Enlightenment and Romanticism. This guy made the class interesting and easy to understand. I learned a lot, and made a pretty decent grade. Take him, he knows what he's doing.
Amazing teacher. Look forward to class every week. He encourages opinions and most classes are full of discussion. He knows what he is talking about and is interesting to listen to. Bring your book to class and STAY OFF YOUR CELLPHONE. he's awesome.
He has very interesting ideas on myths and life in general. It's not like a lot of other Mythology classes where you read stories and talk about them. The books for the class are great. The only bad thing is her thinks of himself a little higher than most.
Kind of hard to understand sometimes, but overall he was a good teacher. He knows what he is talking about, and he isn't bias. Only two tests, but you HAVE to do your homework or your screwed. He isn't a very demanding teacher, and he doesn't get back to questions promptly.
Prof. Sutton is by far one of the best teachers i've had at Valencia! He is not bias but is very informative when it comes to his interpretation of myth and how it relates o the world that we currently live in opposed to mainly focusing on the past. Attendence is a MUST, he will withdrawl you if you miss more then 3 classes. Test are easy.
Prof Sutton is like a walking miricle if u want tools with which to live life hes the man to go to. i have taken 2 of his classes so far and plan to take the rest that he teaches. he is without a doubt THE BEST HUM professor there is out there. anyone whoes said so otherwise is not a commited student, TAKE THIS PROF!
Probably the most interesting class I've taken. Mr. Sutton knows his stuff and his lectures are always interesting and never out of the book (likes to talk over youtube clips). So far everything he has given us to read has been very interesting as well.
This class is really wonderful, I never cared too much when I entered the class but I have learn so many aspect on life from this class. Great teacher, great discussions on subject matters. Lot of writing in this class but it all opinionated but just do the work. Test are easy just study the questions on the study guide and you will make an A.
He is very pationate about his subject but he has weird ideas or visions. If you beleive in God, do ot take him casue he is going to piss you off. There is some readings, but his homework assigments are so incomprehensible. It is good if you debate with him, but dont need to do it. Very boring. Easiest test ever. Exact as the study guide
This is one of the best teachers i have ever had! he is the most interesting man i have met in a long time and he sees things in a different light than most people! he is the dean of his department for a reason thats for sure... try your hardest to get in one of his classes! and he is a cutie
best teacher I've had so far. too bad theres not more like him.
Make sure your faith in God is strong, if not, some of the things the Professor Sutton states will test your faith! He loves class participation, he'll keep you the entire class time, you'll write several papers but if you read your paper outloud you'll get extra credit. Midterm & Final are exactly like the study guide! I recommend this Professor.
this class is sooooo boring! your grade is based on 5 essays. there is a midterm and final that is word for word from the study guide and a midterm essay.he likes to debate everything. he always takes attendance and does not like usage of phones or ipods or he threatens that he will drop you from the class.
This guy is very VERY smart, real intellectual, likes to debate and get students involved. He is pretty tough on grading papers but it is easy to get a B, test ARE the study guide, you need the book, but he doesnt teach from it, I would recommend this guy if you are interested in learning something and opening your mind a little bit.
Gotta admit, this class tested my faith at times but in the end, it is what it is, faith! Otherwise, Professor Sutton is brilliant (gotta give credit where credit is due!) and his class is easy to pass. Write your papers, read them out loud. Study guides are same as test. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I took im for 20th cen hum honors. I LOVE HIM! yes he's old and has white hair, but when he talks :O you'll find him soo ATTRACTIVE! grades:25% on3 shorts papers(read out loud. 25% 1 big hard essay in test cen ,25% midterm, 25% final. both r frm study guide but read the articles cz some ques r from them. debate in class though its not grades but fu
I absolutely loved this class! VERY heavily discussion based. I would say this class is difficult because the limited number of assignments. Had three writing assignments, a mid term, a big paper and a paper for the final. You should definitely be a strong writer if you take him.
