The class coursework itself is straightforwad enough. There are a few issues in the online course that are outside of the professors control, but he was always available by phone and made it clear what you would need to do to pass with an A. Did the extra credit just to be sure.
Professor Phinney syallbus clearly outlines what you are to expect in the class. Also, he offers you extra credit to help you bring your grade up. He is a very caring teacher because he would allow to make up a work or make you re-submit for a higher grade. He is a fair grader and if you fail its because you didn't put effort in your work
He is a great professor! He grades quickly and fairly. He is very understanding and gives great feedback. He also offers extra credit but sometimes you won't even need the extra credit!
TAKE! He is AWESOME! Its nice to have a good professor that helps you & reassures you with positive feedback. Seriously I'm so glad I am taking him! He is always there to help! You wont find anyone better!! Thats a promise & I keep my promises! I admire and look up to this professor, he has so much passion! he will set you up for success!!!!! :)
I took Professor Phinney's AMH2010 six week class online and it was the best decision I've ever made! Super friendly and always does his best to help you out in any way! He responds fast if you have any questions and he really cares about his students! Class is easy and he gives you 3 extra credit assignments to help you out! TAKE HIM!!!!
Professor Phinney is a great professor! Easy A if you are willing to work. I would definitely take him again! He cares a lot about his students.
Professor Phinney is a great teacher. I went into the class wanting to know more about history and left the class with even more knowledge. I would definitely take this professor again. If your looking for a history class with a great professor, he is the way to go.
Professor Phinney is an AWESOME professor! He really does care for his students, on a drop of a dime will answer any question you have, if you are willing to keep up with the work it is an easy A. His assignments are in a certain form that you learn because you have to research just a little to compose a response. Take this professor!
He was awesome. Very clear in grading. I would definitely take him again. Please be sure to sign up ahead of time to Protrack.
Great professor and very caring!!
Professor Phinney is purely amazing the curriculum is clear, he replies fast to emails through D2L. He is one of the best professors I had. Take him you will not regret it! Even you never took an online class you'll pass this class. Just keep up with the due dates and do the ProctorTrack a week or more prior to the midterm. You'll be fine!
Easy A/B just check the due dates and make sure you address students by their name when reply to other student's post because points will be deducted if you don't. But, overall, he's a great professor and gives extra credit. You cannot fail.
He is an awesome teacher , replies fast and is always willing to help you if you need help with anything. He should be your first choice, take him, and you won't regret it. He gives you 3 extra credit assignments to help boost your grade. Make sure you do your work, read the textbook and the learning modules and you'll do fine.
Best class ever. Answered a lot of questions which bothered me. Every student should take this class. Very informative. To know where you are coming from gives you a better understanding to where you are going.
I did horrible on the midterm and I still managed to pass Professor Phinnys class with an A!! It was hard because their was no study guides but he lets you use your notes and the book. I did better on the final and he gives three extra credit assignments that's worth a lot. Best professor I've had so far from broward college. Thanks professor!
This course was intense because it was a 16 week class compacted in 6 weeks. Be prepared to read and do assignments, but it is a very interesting class. Very fair grader, gives good feedback. Responds promptly to emails and texts. Gives multiple extra credits to help you get a good grade. I would definitely take this professor again!!!
Choosing Professor Douglas Phinney to be my instructor was a great decision. He cares about the student and goes out of his way to keep the students focus. I would take him again even if I met all requirements.
Very awesome class! Most recommended for a great experience with learning the material and earning a great grade.
Great Professor! Extra credit provided and he lets you move ahead as much as you need to get the class done!
I took his online class for AMH2010 and all I have to say is EASY!!! The tests and quizzes are easy and he grades the discussion posts super LENIENT. Garuanteed an easy A if you turn all your assignments on time.
Professor Phinney is absolutely amazing! I took a fully online honors AMH2020 class and managed to get an A. He gives great feedback and truly wants you to succeed. Lots of extra credit! He grades and responds very quickly. One of the best professors at Broward College. If I could, I would have certainly taken him again. TAKE HIM!
Fully online course. Excellent professor, you read chapters and participate in discussions. There are two proctored tests and one open book final. Gives excellent feedback, always accessible if needed and makes this class a stress free open learning environment. Would def recommend him again!
I had such a great experience in my online class with professor Phinney. He was involved, caring, helpful, and always gave edifying feedback. Something I really liked was that even though it was an online class, he was always so present, grading quickly, giving feedback and even replying to texts with our doubts. Take him! He is amazing!
Most of the answers are found online. Very nice and easy going guy. Just do your work right. As is just answer and do what he says and you get a 100. Make sure to do your discussion and answer 2 people. Easy A. Would definitely take him for other classes if I could.
Based on my experience, I am learning a lot and actually love the class. I think Professor Phinney is awesome. He responds quickly and wants to see you do good. He is helpful and encouraging and I would highly recommend him. He also gives great feedback and makes himself available to you to help you if you need it. Best instructor I've had!
Professor Phinney is Very inspiring . I am learning a lot and falling in love with America history. He responds quickly, is very helpful, and gives good feedback. I would highly recommend him.
Always present (if that makes sense for an online class) with quick responses and prompt feedback, it almost felt like I've actually met him in person.
Professor Phinney is a great teacher, he gives great feedback. I took his class online, there was a lot of easy work. Be sure to work ahead so you don't fall behind. Do the extra credit as backup for an uncompleted assignment. Just read, have the summary match the assignment or discussion, get an "A". Follow the syllabus. - Eclectic one
Take him he is great and very understanding
Professor Phinney is a great teacher! Even though my class was online I learned so much! Grades immediately, great feedbacks! I deffinitely recommend him. Passed with an A
Although I took this class online, I learned a lot. The way he sets up how class is clear and easy to understand. You always know what is expected from you and when things are due. He grades things pretty fast and always give feedback which I love. He was also very helpful whenever you needed of him. I strongly recommend this professor and class!!
Professor Phinney is amazing, his course is not hard at all. Do the assignments, quizzes, discussions, midterm and final and you will pass. He also offers extra credit, which is super easy. I had to have an emergency surgery and professor Phinney allowed me to finish the course early. He is the greatest online professor I have had!!!
Great professor, Take him. I didn't like history and i learned a great deal about Us History. If you do the work you will get an A.
Great professor! As long as you submit the assignments on time, you'll pass. He's very accessible offline too if you have any questions. Class is very straightforward and easy to understand. Easy A!
Profesor Phinney was super cool. Always responded quickly to emails. Really clear on his instructions. Not tons of work, really great class with him online.
Professor Phinney is excelent when it come to feedback. he takes the time to add positive and contructive feedback in almost every assignment. his class is very well organized and very fair . thanks Professor!!
Great professor! through out the whole class discussion(respond 2 people) and quiz due every week. 2 assignments and a presentation. For midterm and final you choose 2 questions to do 2-3 paragraph essay and multiple choice questions timed like two hours and about 50 questions. If you read you will be fine and will be easy. Love this prof!
Professor Phinney was awesome! I took him for American History Honors and the course was very enjoyable. Make sure you keep up with the class if youre taking it online, things pile up quick. Overall though, no complaints! Take him!
Professor Phinney was amazing. I took a sped up segment and he made the course flow pretty easily, he was specific on his criteria and organized. The coursework wasn't burdening and he gives good feedback on your assignments. In general, the course even if it was sped up, was not difficult. He gives 2 attempts on quizzes and extra credit.
Professor Phinney class was great. He replied to all my emails, gave me feedback on all my work, and reminded us what was due. The class is easy if you are focused. You have assignments every week, but they are easy and should only take you about and 1-2 hours. You can easily get an A in this class if you don't forget anything.
This professor is AWESOME! Nugh said!
BEST INSTRUCTOR HANDS DOWN. He gives great feedback and really cares about helping you pass. He responds to emails fast. There are 12 quizzes, 16 discussion, and 4 word document assignment with extra credit opportunities. I took his 6 week class so you have to stay on top of everything but it was worth it. GREAT PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM!
Prof Phinney is amazing! He is very attentive, gives great feedback, always very prompt to respond to students. He gives you multiple ways to earn your "A". There is quite a bit of reading to be done, but if you do your work, you'll get an A for sure. This class was actually surprisingly fun and I learned a lot! Take him and you won't regret it!
I would recommend you take Professor Phinney. He really works with you. He is always there to answer any questions you have. He responds fast to your email and grades your work fast. The work is easy you just have to read. He gave 3 extra credit assignments. I passed with an A.
Take him guys easy A. Do all your homework, discussion, and quiz on time you'll be fine. He gives you extra credit as well. I missed 1 quiz and 1 discussion but with the extra credit I got an A on the class even with my midterms being 64 and finals 80.
It's rare you get a teacher that is willing to work with you these days, most just think you want things handed to you but don't understand that some of us are not right out of high school and have a lot going on in life. this class was a easy A even for someone as busy as i am. he give great feed back and is definitely a Gem!
Great prof work is pretty easy you have all the tools, I rented the book online all quiz and discussions is open book and open resources (wink wink) lol, would def recommend to anyone, was my first online course and i loved it.
If you need to fill an elective credit or a history credit, take this class!! Professor Phinney is an awesome professor. Turn in your assignments on time and always site your sources you will pass this class. There is a midterm which is proctored, but you can still use your notes and textbook. The final is not proctored. There are six assignment
This is the greatest professor, ever. I emailed his boss and advised him of such. There are 3 extra credits worth 150 points total, that's amazing. He can be reached at anytime via text and really cares about his students and provides great feedback. He's amazing.
This is the best Professor ever. This was a 6 weeks class so it was a lot of work due every other day but if you stay on top of it and give it your all you won't regret it. The Midterm is proctored, the Final is not but all open book. Also there are 3 extra credit assignments that is easy. Do them you wont regret it. Take this class, loved it.
This was the BEST class I've ever taken. You are a wonderful professor and offered so much great feed back.
This is a great professor!! His class was such an easy A, yes there are a good amount of work that you have to complete but as long as you do your work on time you'll be fine. There is three extra credit assignments i recommend that you do all, Professor gives awesome feedback and wants all his students to pass.
This class is awesome. Very informative, this class requires a lot of reading. A lot of work in the beginning but towards the end it gets better. The professor is awesome, he communicates well and gives extra credit!
He is the best professor I have ever had. I learned a lot and it was so easy. He is amazing.
GREATTTTT PROFESSOR TOOK THE CLASS ONLINE! PASSED WITH AN A. Able to text him and ask for help amazinggggg take himmmmmm!!!!
Take this professor!! He is so easy if you do the assignments on time you WILL PASS!! I missed a few discussions and still managed to get an A. I took the class as an express and it was not too much work to manage. Theres a proctored midterm but not a proctored final. Gives easy extra credit assignments that are worth 50 points each.
TAKE HIM! Very fair grader and offers extra credit! Discussions, 4 assignments (chose two topics and write 2-3 paragraphs as your response, a proctored mid-term and non-proctored final! He's an awesome professor, HIGHLY recommend! :-)
TAKE HIM. One of the best professor at BC. He grades fairly. I would take him again and again.
Amazinggggg professor! Taking the class right now, and he cares so much and is always there for you. Not a lot of professors like him out there. Do the work and you should get an A.
Professor Phinney was the best online I've ever had, I know sometimes online classes can be hard to keep up with, but with him everything is doable. he gives great feedback . Another good thing, he always keep you up to date about the major assignments in the course. As long as you do what you're supposed to, you A is guarantee.
Mr Phinney is a great online professor and is the Best online class I have ever taken! Basically just do all your work, and you should pass. 2 extra credits at the end of the semester, Midterm is proctored, Final is not proctored and both are open notes. Just take this class, and you won't be disappointed.
Best online teacher :-)
BEST INSTRUCTOR HANDS DOWN. He gives great feedback and really cares about helping you pass. He responds to emails so fast. There are 12 quizzes, 16 discussion, and 4 word document assignment with extra credit opportunities. I took his 6 week class so you have to stay on top of everything but it was worth it. A WONDERFUL PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM!
Professor Phinney, Is a very good teacher. I took this class for session 3 and the work load is there but it isnt hard. Just read and do your work and youll pass. This was an online class but it is mandatory to turn in assignments on time. I would definitely take him again
Professor Phinney is such a gem!! He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND unlike other professors to let you know that he truly cares and is there to help. He grades extremely fair and gives amazing feedback. He can't control the amount of reading and writing, but he makes it as easy as he can. MUST TAKE IF YOU WANT AN A!!
Professor Phinney is an amazing instructor. I took this class online and it was great. The class has a lot of information from the textbook, but he gives an ebook access for free, he always replies to the emails almost immediately, he gives a lot of extra credit. I recommend this class for anybody who is and is not a history major. Its very easy
Great teacher. Very straightforward. Teacher cares about student success. Highly recommend.
Professor Phinney is a great professor. I took his class online for 8 weeks so you must stay on top of your work. Other than that he's great but you must show effort and log in online every day and you'll do great.
Professor Phinney was great! I took his 8 weeks online course and wasnt so bad but if you just log in everyday and if do you work you will do fine he graded quickly and fairly and he leaves his phone number so you can text him questions. Overall great online class!
Really responsive and gives great feedback.
Professor Phinney is great. I honestly would take his class again. I took the short 16 week course, and honestly there's a lot of reading but time goes by so fast it felt like there was little work to be done. He's great at responding, I emailed him on a saturday and he got back to me 30 minutes later. Tests, Mid&Final are open book! Super Easy :)!
Professor Phinney was awesome. You have a quiz and discussion for each chapter but theyre open book and notes. Not proctored. The midterm is proctored but the final is not. Also two 50-point extra credit assignments. Easy A if you just do the work!
This professor is Awesome! He is very helpful and responds to your emails very quickly. He makes sure he clarifies any questions you may have. If you do what he requires you to do, you can get an easy "A".
This was honestly such an easy class. Phinney is awesome, and great at replying to your messages. Easy, breezy A. Just stay on top of your work and study briefly, and you will do just fine.
This is the BEST professor at BC. He gives great feedback, responds quickly, and there are no surprises. His online class is super easy. He is very straight forward from the beginning. Midterm and final and all quizzes are open book and internet. It almost seems as if you put in the effort in the discussions and worksheets you will get a 100.
Professor Phinney was amazing. His assignments weren't difficult and I was able to find all the answers in the resources he provided. He helps all his students if they need anything and replies to emails incredibly quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and was one of the kindest and most helpful professors I've had
Ive taken online classes for close to 6 years and Ive always felt like it was pulling teeth to get a email response or my papers graded. He is immediate with the responses to any of your needs and is clear on what his expectations are. I never struggled in the class. He opened assignments early for me when asked. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND!!
Professor Phinney was very nice and understanding. As the actual course goes, there are weekly quizzes and discussions, which are fairly easy. There's 2 'worksheets' and one project that's assigned throughout the entire course. The midterm and final are a combination of all the quizzes, so I took pictures and studied those. Easy 'A' class!
I took AMH2020 online with Professor Phinney. The class has asignments due each week along with quizzes and discussion usually every other week. The course itself it not difficulty if you stay up to date with everything. I would take this professor again.
The class is very straight forward. There are discussions and quizzes due weekly. Occasionally there is a longer assignment that takes maybe 1-1.5 hrs to complete but not bad. I dedicated maybe 2-3 hours a week to this class and passed easily.
This is my third semester taking full-time classes online and I have to say he was the best. Work hard, get good grades, participate and an easy A! Textbook was online and everything was pretty easy.
This is my first time doing a review on here, BUT I felt I had to let you guys knows ho GREAT !Professor Phinney is! He was always timely with my emails and understanding when I was having trouble uploading a document. He offers additional extra credit. This class is reading and writing as expected with any history class, not hard at all.
He was great. If you do your work and keep up with the class you will get an A. He is not a tough grader at all. He will tell you nicely if you did something wrong so you can correct it the next time. He also gives you two chances for extra credit it really helps if you missed some work. Great professor take him.
Took AMH2020 online with him and it was very easy to pass as long as you keep up with the tests and assignments on the very clear schedule. Also textbook was online for free.
Professor Douglas Phinney rocks! I took his online History class and couldn't be any happier. He gives excellent feedback and cares about his students' success. I got an A. Take him if you care about your GPA.
Professor Douglas was a great one. I took his AMH 2020 online class and was very successful. I would recommend taking this class because you will learn and it will help your GPA.
Just finished this class for spring term 2019 and it was very interesting! Professor Phinney is very nice and gives feedback on everything you submit, he is there to help you and make sure you understand. The class itself is not hard at all - if you put in the effort you will do great. There is more than enough time to submit everything. TAKE HIM!!
I took him for two semesters and he is just the best professor. He is so nice and so understanding. His class is easy if you put the work in. He is just such a good guy and a nice person to work with. I can tell that he actually cares about the students he teaches. I wish he taught every class I had to take. He is completely fair!! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!
Professor Phinney is amazing. He gives great feedback and truly cares. As long as you keep up and finish your assignments, you'll pass this class. The textbook used was online and included in the course. I truly recommend this professor and would take him again if he teaches a course I need in the future.
I really liked this teacher because although there was a lot of work, He made it seem easy and simple. He grades realy easy and it was simple to pass this diffucult class. I am really happy I got Professor Phinney and I will definately use him in the near future he is a 10/10 rating and I would hundred percent reccommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a lot of reading involved. However, the professor is very helpful and provides clear instructions. He grades your work the day after you submit it, even if you are working ahead and the work is not due yet.
Professor Phinney was great. I didn't take my Mid Term, missed a ton of assignments and still passed with a high C (you can do MUCH better). There was a lot of reading, but you honestly don't have to read everything if you know how to search for answers. Extra credit assignments. All tests and quizzes including final and midterm were open book.
Very professional and good professor.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CLASS!! He is by far the best online professor. If you don't like history at all like me, take him! He makes this class so easy and he doesn't assign that much work. He is very nice and helps with any questions. You do have to pay attention to the chapters for the protracted exams but other than that, he is AMAZING!
Professor Phinney is phenomenal. As this was a 6 week online class the work load was certainly heavy but you can manage it by staying ahead. Quizzes and tests are straightforward, short response questions require elaboration. Responds quickly to texts and emails. Supportive and willing to help his students! Don't hesistate to take him!!!
It's an easy class. The workload is not that heavy and he grades fairly. Everyone should take this class for their credit. :)
I just done with his class, a lot of fun. Get ready to read. He gives good feedback.
Great guy. Caring and super helpful. I will take thousands of other classes from him.
Professor Phinney is great! As long as you turn in your work on time it's guarenteed you'll do good in his class! He is an extremely quick and fair grader and he responds to messages in a very timely manner! Couldn't have asked for a better teacher!
Professor Phinney is amazing! To guarantee yourself a good grade in his class all you have to do is get all your assignments in on time and not miss the deadlines. he grades all of your assignments fast and fairly so you know where you stand. One of the best professors I've had at BC!
Douglas P is an excellent teacher, I highly recommend
Simply the BEST! I absolutely loved his class!
Online class is super easy! I took it in 6 weeks, def get ready to read but the content he uploads is AWESOME! It includes videos & the textbook, so you don't need to purchase one. 5 discussions, 4 assignments (super easy) 5 Quizzes, Midterm (proctored) & Final not proctored. And hes so nice he even offers two extra credit assignments.
It's history, lots of reading and assignments. midterm proctored and final not. Prof is very responsive less than 24 hours he is always available. If you are prepared to read you will pass. Just read the textbook and the key points you can't go wrong. He is invested in the success of his students. Take him you won't regret it.
Professor Phinney was amazing!! His course was very organized. Missing an assignment was impossible due to the fact that he had everything laid out for you from the beginning. He got back to me extremely quick (even on weekends). He graded very fairly and always gave great feedback. Would recommend him to anyone! Best professor! Take this course!!
Professor Phinney is a truly good teacher, not only did I learn a great amount about US history, but I enjoyed all of it to the point where I was telling my friends and family about what I learned. I highly recommend him
Hes an outstanding teacher, take him for history! He actually made the class easy to learn things regardless of the course load. Hes really here to help you pass! Once again take him! Plus he provides the textbook. He made online learning easy for me.
I took Professor Phinney's class completely online. He is an excellent teacher. Professor Phinney is very thorough in his grading and comments on each assignment you turn in, he grades fast and responds to concerns quickly as well. Although the curriculum requires a lot of reading, it's not difficult to follow and the quizzes are very helpful.
Very fair grades and very interactive as an online professor.
I took this class as it's a requirement. I decided to take it in a faster passed summer term and still passed it with an A. There is a lot of reading as you can imagine, but the professor makes it very easy to pass with a good grade. Definitely recommend !
I'm horrible at history and this class was not difficult at all. There are discussion posts every couple of days which are a little time consuming (not that hard) and also short quizes. If you put in the effort to pass this class you will, I can't think of anything for him to improve. I strongly urge you to take his class.
Professor Phinney is great. I did a six week course in the summer, even though it was a lot of reading, and the assignments are back to back, if you stay on top of your work and hand your assignments in on time, you will do great. Easy A.
I took this class online for 6 weeks. He was the absolute best! So sweet and nice. He's NOT a tough grader and offers 100 points of extra credit. He answers emails and texts super fast and he is very understanding. It's an easy A. It's not a lot of work to do at all. TAKE HIM!! I usually don't rate professor's but he is just so amazing. I GOT AN A!
If you take it online, has free e-textbook. There is A LOT of reading but hw is standard and not hard at all. Read the text and you'll be able to do the hw and tests no problem. There's an writing portion to the midterm and final but not hard. Prof. Phinney is super nice and replies quickly to emails. Take this class with him, you won't regret it.
Great professor! Easy A! Complete quiz, discussions and exams on time youll pass. Two extra credit opportunities, extremely easy!
Was very picky when it came to grading, class was more difficult then it needed to be.
The course is predetermined, so the course work was not up to him. However, Professor Phinney was always available to answer any questions and gave good feedback.
I had a great time in this class. Of course, it was A LOT of reading but it was totally doable. I just paced myself and did not procrastinate. i made sure i read a portion of the material every day even if it was 1 page. The professor was easy to reach and always accessible. Responds quick to text messages and gave a lot of opportunity to pass.
Professor Phinney is a very easy grader. Although there is a lot of interpreting essays, quizzes, and discussions, it will take a lot for you to not pass his course. 15/10 recommend him as an online teacher for USH.
Prof. Phinney is really an amazing teacher. I got so much going during this semester, and I was getting discouraged after I failed the mid- term. when I talked to him, he advised me to do the extra credits. I sent him a text on his cell, and he replied right away. Thank you Prof. Phinney. You're the best.
You WILL get an A in this class! Everything is open book! Love this professor.
Mr Phinney is such a great teacher. He is so nice and willing to work with his students. I was stupid and did not turn in 2 discussions and got a 0 and while I was taking the midterm I deleted the page by accident so the computer never gave me a grade for it. I did the extra credit and got an A. After this I had an 89, but Mr Phinney gave me an A.
This was an awesome class! Just make sure to finish your work on time and read the online textbook. You could easily finish the course weeks before it's actually finished. You could do quizzes, tests, discussion question, and SAQ's with your notes and textbook. Final is open notes! Easy A! As long as you follow grading criteria.
Professor Phinney is fantastic! He always answered emails and graded assignments quickly, usually on the same day. He seems to care about his students. I recommend taking any class with this professor.
This is an online course. Follow the rules or the grading rubric, submit all your work on time and it's an easy A
If you're looking for a great professor, take this class! Professor Phinney always gives feedback and always responds quickly. I think he actually gives you his personal number. The assignments do require some reading but are easy. The final was also open notes/book so that's a plus. He also gives extra credit, no that you'll need it. :)
Easiest A I've ever had at Broward College. Literally just submit, all of your work and you will have a guaranteed A. He also gives heavy weighted extra credit that could easily take a C average to an A. Great with communication. 10/10 recommend, especially if you are new to online classes.
By far one of the best classes that I have taken here. If you are able to understand that college takes at least a little effort than this class is an easy A!! Just do your work, turn it in on time and you will be fine. Professor Douglas is an amazing help and very caring- highly recommend him for any class!!!
Professor Phinney was amazing! I took the course online & he really made it enjoyable! Best Professor ive had. Just do your work & youll be fine! Easy A
Easiest class I've ever taken. In the syllabus he was very precise about the quizzes and exams. Mid-term is proctered but the Final isn't. H also has two extra credits that helped me a lot in earning my A in the class. Overall, he's a great professor I would take him again in a heartbeat.
Great professor I took his class online and it is a history course which means it is time consuming as far as the readings but the professor gives great feedbacks. Every point counts so start smart by caring early in the semester instead of when you see youre grades are dropping. I would definitely take his class again.
Good professor! There was a lot of reading and writing but that is typical for an online class. If you work smart, it's an easy A - just make sure you complete everything that he asks of you such as the word count. He also gives really good feedback and grades everything quickly.
Good professor, very professional. Follow his instructions and do your homework on time. Dont copy anybody else or the internet and you will pass the class.
He would always respond promptly, and gave amazing feedback.
I have no negative comments about this professor, he was a quick and fair grader, just follow the directions and you will pass. Open book for final and extra credit. My only advice is to make sure when you reply to discussion you address the name of the person who you are relying too! I forgot on one discussion and got a D which is my own fault.
Had him online, hes really nice and isnt strict on grading, if you answer the questions well he will give 100%. Highly recommend
Great professor!!
Professor Phinney is an amazing teacher he helps us understand your work with clear instructions and guidelines on how to pass his online course. I would definitely take him as my professor again. Especially since Im not the keen on History he made it interesting for me to learn and understand critical thinking skills a bit better.
Great professor! Readily available, helpful and fair. Lots of reading, but it's worth it.
Great Professor. There's a lot of reading but the work load is very generous if you stay on top of everything. I wish every professor was like this. I took this class online and I'd so it again in a heartbeat.
Professor Phinney is awesome! He makes it known that he is there for you to answer any questions that you have, and he gives great feedback. There is a lot to read but it isn't hard. History is not my subject but he made it easy.. I also don't like taking online classes but this one wasn't bad at all. I would recommend everyone to take his class.
If you want to take this course so get ready to read, other than that, this professor is excellent person and too professional. I recommend 100% to take this class of you're a neat person and like to do research.
Mr Phinney is one of the best Professors here at BC. He gives 2 extra credits & the final is proctored & open book. He replies fast to emails & is very attentive, respectful & kind. He gives clear and precise instructions. I am a science major & I enjoyed his class. If you put in the work, you will get great results . Mr Phinney is simply the best!
Professor Phinney is a wonderful professor. I started the semester a week late and was still able to get on track after a few minor fails. He reads your input and will give great feedback. Although, I wish the readings were a bit downsized, it isn't anything you can't get through within the week. Pace yourself, look over the syllabus and NOTE DATES
Great professor! Grades everything really fast and gives detailed feedback on all assignments. Has 100 points worth of extra credit assignments that was very helpful. If something was misunderstood he explains the criteria really well. I would strongly recommend taking AMH2020 with Professor Phinney!
Really sweet teacher! Even though it is an online class, he keeps up with all the assignments and grades quickly. I totally recommend taking his class (:
Thus professor is very patience and as long as your a good student he will allow you to retake a assignment you did poorly on so you can bring up your grade in his class.
Professor Phinney is one of the best professors I have had and I would definitely take him again if I could. Yes, there is a lot of work and writing but he gives you all the sources you need and he makes it simple to do. He responds to emails quickly and is very interactive and kind to his students. It has been a pleasure taking his class.
Professor Phinney is GREAT! I would highly recommend you take this course with him. Most of the discussions and other assignments are straightforward. You learn a lot (refreshers) and you won't regret taking him!
Professor Douglas Phinney is amazing. His class was very easy and his instructions were straight forward. He respond less than 24 hours back to any of questions and provides extra credit. Failed the final exam and still passed with an A. Do all his work and at least 1 extra credit and you'll be fine! HE'S THE BEST!
Phinney is a GREAT Professor. I took this class in 8 weeks (fast pace). He allows the assignments to be open early, which is amazing so You can work ahead. His instructions are clear and he graded on time. Yes, this class is A writing intensive course with many papers & discussions but he gives you many writing topics to choose from. TAKE HIM!
Professor Phinney is one of the best. He gives extra credit, his instructions are clear and he responds to emails quickly. I. missed an assignment and he gave me the opportunity to regain some point by writing an essay. I can say that this professor really wants us to pass this course. I would definitely take again.
I would highly recommend taking this class because history is such an amazing subject. Save yourself the time though and DO NOT PICK THIS PROFESSOR. He is very rude, Terrible at communicating and overall the last Professor you would want teaching you. I dropped the class after one email.
i wish he was rated a 5.0 because hes so sweet & actually truly cares for his students. Hes the best. please take him. you would be a fool not to. his grading criteria is so clear so its impossible to get anything lower than an A. offers many extra credit & grades easily. You will get an A trust me. ill miss him & his class
Prof Douglas is very knowledgeable. He wants his students to pass. He helps with any issues youre having. Took his summer 6 week class. A lot of material but you can do it. I highly recommend taking his class.
He is a very good professor and hes always available. Although the quizzes are tough and there is a lot of information to read, besides that he makes it very easy to pass. The discussions are also supper easy to do. They only need to be 100 words long. He didn't give that much work. No essays or anything difficult. There were only four assignments.
This is the best professor I ever had I missed an assignment deadline and he gave me extra time. if you want a real cool AMH teacher this professor is the best if anybody writes a bad review they must be a slacker. He is easy and caring Professor Douglas is the best no cappp!!
Professor Phinney is highly engaged with his students via whats app or online software. He responds to your questions immediately. I strongly suggest responding to the online discussions, Extra credits are offered, this is a plus. He is passionate about his work and his students, I recommend taking his class. Do the work and get your " A"
There were enough extra credit assignments available to help you understand each chapter better and help balance missed assignments or low grades received. The course was not difficult neither were the quizzes. Class and responsibilities were easy to understand. Professor Phinney was also very accessible and willing to help.
Online short session with online textbook materials. Approx 5 discussions, 5 quizzes, 5 short answer questions, and 1 final proctored exam (open book). Prof. Douglas was amazing, grades quickly, and provides feedback. Would definitely take him again. It was a lot of reading, whether or not you are a fan of History. Take Him! U will not regret it.
Prof. Douglas is caring and understanding. Just do your work on time and your A is guaranteed. This man is an exceptional professor!
He is available for questions. Very clear in Syllabus. Do the work ON TIME and you will do well. Time management to get the discussions and assignments in on time is very important. Highly recommend to take his class.
Although there is a quite a lot of reading in the class, Professor Phinney provides clearly what he wants from the class and is always available if you have any questions. There was also extra credit provided.
Professor P., is great! The textbook is online so there is a lot of extensive reading. Like any history, some is boring while other's grasp your attention. Do all your assignments and submit on time. Professor's communication is great. He is very clear on expectations. Do your work!
PROFESSOR that wants you to succeed. Excellent clear criteria, answers emails fast,grades come quickly,and quizzes are challenging you absolutely need to read. I found assignments fun and informative. Plenty of extra credit. He loves when you are early with handing in assignments. I'm sure makes his life easier.
Lots of reading but only 4 assignments & quiz, 2 extra credit options and only one proctored test that was open book. The professor was very accessible and responsive to emails & texts and the class was very manageable. I would take professor Phinney again, very easy going!
Good class, great teacher. Though the class was online, caring profesor phinney was there to quickly assist on any issues and further provide altruistic help.
Professor Phinney is amazing! I took him for summer during COVID19 as an online course and I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot about American History and found myself really interested in history! On top of that, Professor Phinney was super helpful providing feedback and you'll pass with an A as long as you do all your assignments on time.
Overall, this professor was one of the best I've had so far in all the classes I've taken. He was truly caring, making assignments and instructions overall easy to understand. He graded very quickly, was nearly always available when asking questions, and showed the care and aid most professors lack. 10/10 would 100% recommend taking his class!
I had Professor Phinney for AMH2010 through dual enrollment at Broward Online. He was always quickly accessible for anything and truly cares about his students. He gives two 50 point extra credits to help regain any of the missing 900. The course is a lot of reading and writing but put in effort and you will do fine. I would recommend for anyone.
Prof. Phinney is amazing! I took AMH 2010 during Covid and his replies to my assignments were the next day, which is quicker than most of my other profs. He is caring and wants us all to pass. I would 1000% take Prof. Phinney again! Also, the extra credit can bump you up big time if you mess up on some tests!
The BEST professor I have taken in BC! He is AMAZING. He is clear on what he wants and it may seem like a lot of work at first but it really is not. He is accessible outside of class if you need it and he also gives extra credit. Take him! You will not regret it.
Phinney is great! He responds quickly when you text him. Class is easy if you read the book and stay up to date with all the due dates. 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Phinney is an outstanding professor and is one of the greatest professor you could ever have. If you ever have any questions all you have to do is contact Professor Phinney and he will explain it to you as easily as possible. The course is very easy and a quick A if you do the material at hand. Professor Phinney is a great professor!
Take him! He was the best, an easy grader and responds very fast outside of school. I wish I could take him for every subject.
I took this class fully online and I can say it was amazing!! I have learned a lot, the homework is clear and separated per units! He grades fast and fairly. If you need help he will respond quickly. Highly recommended!
A lot of homework but good materials!
Hes an amazing professor! Be sure to read though, But thats a huge component in any American history class. I would definitely recommend to take him. The work is super easy! Do all his work and it pays off. He also gives extra credit. So be sure to do that to! You wont fail! :) passed with an A!
Professor Phinney was one of the best professors that I had in an online class. There is a lot to read and do in the class but he makes it easier. The class is super organized and if you put in the effort you will get an easy A. Do yourself a favor and take his class.
I took professor Phinney for the fall fully online. 5 discussions, 5 quizzes, and 4 assignments (4 paragraphs each). If you're looking for a sign this one is it. Take him. Don't think about it. He is so great there are tons of assignments but they are 100% doable and he also gives two big extra credits. He won't accept late work so keep thatinmind
I was nervous taking this course remotely and the fact that it was an honors course but Professor Phinney made it easy to understand. You have to make an en effort and he will definitely work with you. He responds quickly and grades your work right away with helpful feedback. TAKE HIM!!!!!
Prof. Phinney is an excellent teacher with great feedback. I used rate my professor to decide on a class and the rates did not disappoint. Assignments are mandatory and need to be turned in on time to receive a good grade. Textbook is free if taken online. Great class, would take again !
This class was interesting and I learned a lot. Professor Phinney gave excellent feedback. The textbook is free and online. The class was fast paced, but stay on top of the work and you will do just fine.
Professor Phinney is great! Gives incredible feedback and answers extremely quick. Assignments are reasonable, all tests are open book!
where do I begin with professor Douglas, honestly one of the best online instructors I've had. There was a moderate amount of work but it's because I choose session 4. He's quick to respond to emails and always available to help. Gives extra credit! He's also not a heavy grader, just get the work done and trust me you will pass! HES AMAZING
Professor Phinney is a great teacher. This was by far the best online class I have taken. His assignments are very clear, only one PROCTORED test, and he always gives feedback. I found the discussions engaging and I learned something new. Show up, do the work on time, put In some effort and you will pass. Take him, you won't regret it.
Professor Phinney is great ! The class is pretty easy just a lot of work. There will be assignments due every week and you have to read alot from textbook. He gives you his cell phone number to text him if you have any questions and replied almost immediately. Just do all of your assignments and you will be fine.
Professor PHINNEY is very nice, and will grade your work and respond very quickly. very understanding. However there is no guideline or study guid for this class. all you have is textbook. I took the short session, ended up had to read about 5-6 chapters a weeks and that wasn't able to help me answer the quizzes and assignments.
Professor Phinneys class is one of the easiest ones Ive taken. Its around 3 assignments (including quiz) per unit and theres only 5 units. He gives a lot of time to get it done too so you would really have to try to fail. His feedback is genuinely helpful & hes always so nice, even when giving constructive criticism. Definitely take his class!
One of the BEST professors at my school! I want to take every class he teaches. Definitely take his class if you have the choice!
Professor Phinney is an awesome Professor! I took him for a short 8 week online course and I don't regret taking his class. When you think of history, you think of the class as boring but this was the easiest class I've ever taken. He's very good with grading and he gives good feedback. You do have to write essays and read but they are very easy.
Professor Douglas Phinney is a great professor. He can't help the amount of work he assigns but, grades fairly. He grades your work very quickly and gives awesome feedback on how to improve for the next one. There is a lot of work but as long as you do the work you will pass. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs to take history.
Professor Phinney was great! The first 2 weeks were a little difficult there was a lot of reading and writing which was expected for an American History Course. Professor Phinney graded everything promptly and was a fair grader. I'd definitely recommend taking his course.
This was by far the best professor I had at BC. The work was not hard and he will help anyone who needs this credit.
Prof. Phinney was amazing, personable and supportive. He gives useful criticism and allows extra credit if all assignments are completed. There's a lot of reading, but Prof. Phinney made the discussions and assignments interesting. I never like history class until taking Prof. Phinney's course. You won't regret it!
Professor Phinney is an incredible professor. I have reached out to him for many assignments asking questions and he responds quickly. All he cares about is that you understand the material and are able to demonstrate you're understanding in your work, even if you don't reach the necessary word count because he values quality over quantity.
Professor Phinney was very helpful throughout the course. He provided constructive criticism on most assignments that would help getting a better grade on future assignments. In addition to this his grading was punctual and extremely fair. If you follow the continent grading criteria you'll do great. Do yourself a favor and take his class!
Professor Phinney was the best! His syllabus is clear and he is always available if you have any questions. The course includes discussions, assignments, quizzes, a midterm and a final.

There is a lot of work but the direction is very clear and Professor Douglas Phinney goes above and beyond for you to understand exactly what's needed. His feedback are very clearly and helpful. I would def take his class again.,
This was a straight forward and easy class. There are 5 tests, all open book, the final is also open notes and book. There are 5 discussions, they're due at the end of every week. There are so 5 Short answered Questions assignment, they're pretty easy and straight forward, he's not a harsh grader. There are two extra credits assignments available.
Professor Phinney was an amazing professor. His grading is fair and gives clear and great feedback that helps you correct your mistakes. I wouldn't say it's a lot of work, he gives you enough time to do the work due for every unit. One discussion, short answer question and quiz per unit. Easy A if you manage your time correctly.
Professor Phinney is a great one. The class is very easy, just read and submit your assignments on time. This class is an easy A. He will also give you feedback to improve for the next time.
This class was great! I had a tough time this semester being an older, working student, and it was nice having a professor who was clear about grading, gave opportunities for extra credit, graded generously if you made a real effort and gave actual feedback about ways to improve your writing. Would definitely recommend! Do the work, get an A!
Professor Phinney is great! I had the breeziest experience in AMH2020. He leaves good feedback per assignment and is quick to respond to any questions. Theres a lot of assignments and quizzes but its all easy work if you follow along! I highly recommend taking his class
Professor Phinney is not only a fair grader but he answers quickly any questions you may have and despite the amount of reading and writing required he makes it all very manageable my favorite instructor so far, highly recommended.
I have to say that I loved Prof. Phinney class. I took his accelerated class for summer and it was a lot of reading but the work was not hard whatsoever. Just read and give your opinions plus theres only 1 proctored test that is open book. He replies and grades the assignment very fast plus he gives awesome feedback. Make sure you take him for AMH
LOVED him!! 100% would take again.
Excellent professor! Just do your work and you will be fine. If you have any kind of problem/question you can always send him a text message or an email and he responds very quickly and caring. If you need to take this class I highly recommend please do, thank you professor!

Professor Phinney History class is amazing. There is a lot of reading but at the end is worth because he provides great information about the History of The United States in a way that is easy to understand and remember.
Super engaging with his students, and provides helpful feedback too. Do the work and submit it ON TIME, and do your best to get an easy A!
Professor Phinney's class was a great course to take. As long as you do the work and read the rubrics you WILL pass this class! He is very understanding and caring, the assignments were clear and fun!
GREAT professor. If you fail, it is your fault. Not a tough grader at all. Very lenient on all the assignments. His rating is high for a reason.
Professor Phinney is really great. He responds quickly to any inquiry you have ansd is always willing to take the extra steps to make sure you understand what the material is and how to complete it. He is a definite must-take for history; he also does a great job of explaining extra context.
Great professor, have one paper due at the end of the class, give clear instructions & feedback.
The textbook we used for this class was provided through a link in the course. I took the shortened version of this class, so it took a lot of work to keep up with the coursework. There is a lot of reading and discussions, so you need to stay on top of them or fall behind. Other than that I enjoyed the class and enjoyed the professor.
Great professor, and definitely was not a hard class.
Took the class online, the professor was always available to help when needed and there was not much busy work. Lots of reading but material is interesting. If you so your work and hand it in on time, you'll get a good grade!
During the whole class you have to read a lot to be able to answer all the quizzes in each module. The reading is very enjoyable and the reflections are super interesting. The need to put yourself in the position of whoever is arguing during the different stages makes you reflect a lot and look at other points of view. I really enjoyed this class.
This Professor is attentive and responds quickly. He makes himself available to you and you learn a lot from his course. If you do the work it is an easy A but you need to do the reading and not miss any deadlines. His instructions are clear and if you follow the rubric the grading is easy. I highly recommend this professor.
He is an awesome Professor . Do your homework and you'll pass this class easily.
Professor Phinney is one of the best. I learned a lot about American history, there is a lot of reading but the material is well organized and instructions so clear. Professor Phinney grades quickly and fairly, helps out as much as possible and provides promptly feedback. I highly recommend this professor.
Professor Phinney is amazing, and I highly recommend taking his classes! :)
Am I allowed to say this is one of the best professors I've ever had? I mean the reviews don't lie. The only way you wouldn't be able to pass this class is if you never logged on and completed your assignments. This professor is amazing and if you manage to grab a seat in his class YOU WILL PASS! He is professional and "chill" at the same time.
Did not have to buy a book he gives the pdf of it. Super easy on grading. Only quizzes and gave essay as final. Just be sure to stay on top of work.
Professor Phinney is amazing! Easy and understanding class. I love his method of teaching. I would definitely recommend him
GET HIMM ASAP!!! dont wait Professor Douglas is the best, he really step up and does as much for his students to pass I would definitely take him again if I had too he's caring, and honest grader there's no way anyone cannot pass his class because he give you opportunity to boost your grade up :)
You have to be a self starter. You will not get by without reading and learning the material. If you space your time right the class is great. If you try and pile everything on, you will struggle. There were many quizzes but no major tests. We did have one final writing assignment that was worth 50% of our grade. Loved the class overall!!
Do the work and you'll be fine. He is very helpful and wants you to understand the assignments. One of the best Professors I have had.
He was an amazing professor, I am so glad I took him. There is a lot to read on each chapter but the homeworks are very simple and straightforward. Very easy to get an A as long as you meet the deadlines (which are not hard to meet). He is an easy graded and wants you to pass the class.
Honestly amazing teacher and responds fairly quickly to any emails and concerns. Grades fairly and gives good feedback. Workload is extremely heavy especially if you're doing session 4 so be cautious. Work ahead it will make your life much easier. Mainly quizzes and discussions each week and a paper due later in the semester.
He was good, you have to read a lot but if you do your work you will have a good grade
I took this class while in Highschool and it was my first college class and it was amazing. Mr. Phinney is really awesome and definitely connects with his students. I liked his class so much I also took AMH2010 with him. Do not hesitate. I wish he taught more classes. Take his class. It was a great experience.
Took his online class as a high schooler. Great teacher. Wish he taught more subjects. Would definitely recommend.
Loved this class. Would definitely recommend. Wish he taught more subjects.
If you are having any issues within his class, please email him. He is very fast responding and is always helpful. Unlike some other professors, he wants you to succeed and cares very much about your experience in his class.
The professor was quick to respond to any concerns or questions. Would definitely take his class again.
Prof. Phinney is by far one of the best professors I've had at BC. I took the course in 6 weeks and it was relatively easy. His grading is very generous. Best of all, he responds very fast and is very concerned for his students. I would definitely recommend anyone to take his class!
His class was super easy and the work would be graded very quickly. No tests are given. Only quizzes, discussions, and a final paper. I would definitely recommend!!
Great professor, I loved everything about his class. Great lectures and he actually cares and is also in tune with his students. Every professor should strive to be like him.
Professor Phinney was an absolute pleasure and wish he could teach all of my classes. I will miss being in his class and he grades fairly and accurately, not to mention quickly. There were times I would complete an assignment and it would be either be graded that day or first thing the next day. Thanks again professor Phinney.
If yall want to pass just take this class ! No more need to be said he is the best teacher ever !!!
Professor Phinney is one of the best. He cares about his students. He makes online learning fun and easy.
Professir Phinney is such an amazing professor! Please take him, he is gives good feedback. The work consists of mostly discussions and quizzes with one paper.
If you watch the introductory video and follow his instructions you will get a good grade, but you also have to put in the work. Be prepared to read and write quite a bit. Professor Phinney grades on time, and is very responsive to questions.
There was a a lot of reading but it is a short length class so the work was fast paste. However, He was easy to reach and was clear what he wanted but if you have a question you could just text him. He also provides feedback really quick and grades fast.
Professor Phinney is amazing not a tough grader responds quickly he made my online experience great. I 100% recommend him. The assignments weren't difficult , make sure you respond and engage in your discussion boards and login daily to stay on top of due dates he provides a video explaining everything along with the final paper which is 6pages.
Great professor! Very fair grading! he did not design the course, but I still found the amount of work to be easy. You are able to work ahead in the class. No final exam just a final research paper that is to be completed through out the course. Discussions are in first person short and fun! Grades and responds quickly! one of the best
Prof. Phinney is awesome , I would take him a million times if I could. Get ready to read alot , the quizzes arent that bad the internet does help he gives clear directions isnt a tough grader responds quickly and also grqdes quickly, allows you to work ahead which is great.
This course was fantastic. Prof Phinney was extremely helpful and interactive, giving ample feedback and explanation when requested. The course itself was comprised of mostly discussion posts and chapter quizzes, allowing the course to be well paced and clearly formatted.

Take him!!
I loved taking his course. He was very efficient and quick with grades and he always responds to your discussion posts with feedback to help you grow. I definitely recommend his class!
He was such a pleasure to have amidst such uncaring professors. He inspires you with his feedback. He corrects you w/o criticizing you. Not a heavy grader. Research report super easy. The discussions were first person and great to experience. I enjoyed this class more than I thought because of him. Take him!!
Amazing professor! He gives really good feedback, and you can clearly see how he loves what he does. I wish all professors cared as much as he does!
Professor Phinney graded discussions and assignments quickly while also providing great feedback/encouragement. He wants his students to succeed, and even though there is a lot of reading within the course, as long as you put in the work, you should get an A in the class. Overall, he is a great professor, and you should pick him for this course.
Hands down one of the best Professors I've had so far. He is communicative, gives great feedback, and makes himself available to assist you whenever it's needed. He wants you to succeed and provides what's necessary for you to do so. As long as you commit to doing the work and participating you will have no issues. Take his class!
This teacher is ABSOLUTELY incredible.I have a busy time this semester between an almost 3 years old and multiple issues in the end of my pregnancy the last thing I needed was a hard teacher .this teacher made the class easy graded beyond fairly helped me when ever I needed and answered so quickly .you could hear the smile in every email TAKE HIM !
Por. Phinney was an excelent teacher I encounter, especially as my last course taken at Broward it was a blast having him as my final teacher of my college experience. It is worth it and you will learn a lot form him.
Professor Phinney was amazing! He was an easy grader, gave good feedback, and also gave you ample time to do the work. If something were due you would have an extra week to complete. The discussions weren't boring at all as he put his own little spin on it. Overall great class.
Absolutely amazing! I had doubted myself so much with the topic of history, but he was extremely helpful and responded very quickly with any questions or concerns I may have had. The research paper was not as intimidating, and the whole class felt fairly easy because of how helpful he was. I highly recommend taking any of his courses!
He is a very caring and understanding teacher. You can always reach him outside of school hours. He is very nice and a fair grader.
He made the course very manageable, by grading fast and giving detailed feedback. He is always open to answering any doubts or questions about any part of the course.
He's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took Professor Phinney Summer 2023. His class was very straight forward. The work is very easy. I took him for the last six weeks of the summer. The workload was a bit much, but as long as you're focused it's a piece of cake. There is one final paper, but he isn't a tough grader.
Professor Phinney was a very fair grader as well as a quick grader. He responded to emails right away and his feedback on all the work was very helpful. He was very clear in his expectations and explained everything step by step. He even provided a very helpful video to assist with the research paper.I highly recommend taking him. One of the best!
Absolutely fantastic online professor! Prof D. Phinney is a rock star at breaking down tough topics into easy-to-digest bits. The feedback is top-notch - super helpful and constructive. They make the assignments and coursework totally understandable. It's clear they want us to succeed. Such a positive online learning experience!
Take him!! Prof. Phinney gives a clear syllabus, helpful video, & is not a tough grader. He wants you to do well & is available if you're stuck. I took his 6 wk class & workload wasn't too much. Open book quiz after each unit (2 chances), discussion post for each unit-nothing crazy, no midterm, no tests, 1 final paper done in stages w/feedback.
This professor made the class fun and the material interesting. All the material was graded quickly and I could improve the assignments with the feedback. I learned the material, did the assignments, and got an A. Doesn't get better than that.
He responds quickly to as many discussion posts as he can, and gives good feedback and constructive criticism on how to improve on written assignments. He also provides opportunities for extra credit at the beginning of the course for doing a syllabus quiz and an introduction discussion post.
Professor Phinney helps you as much as you need all throughout the course, specifically on the research paper. If your work needs some extra help he will be more than glad to assist you and always answers as quickly as possible. He will always give feedback so you will never question if your work is good or not. It is easy to get a good grade.
Professor Phinney Douglas was an amazing teacher! He quickly graded my discussions and work and gave great feedback on my assignments. While there was some reading involved, the assignments that were given were fairly straightfoward- one discussion and quiz per section. (He gives 2 attempts for each quiz) I would definitely take him again!
Professor Phinney is an awesome professor. Very knowledgeable and gives feedback on a regular basis. He also has several videos for tips and helpful information that will help you throughout the course. You can tell he really cares about what he does and really makes the learning experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend him!
I have been attending BC for about 2 years now, and Professor Phinney has been the best teacher I have come across so far. He is extremely detailed and involved and with attending online I appreciated how involved he was and when an assessment was not correct he would give you amazing feedback and would allow you to submit the assignment again.
Professor Phinney is an amazing teacher, I had him for AMH2010 and AMH2020. Both classes consist of a quiz and discussion per unit, and a final paper that is worth half of your grade. Professor Phinney has videos that break down all the assignments for the final paper and offers extra help if needed. He is truly super kind and understanding.
He was not a difficult professor and was understanding if you turned your work in a bit late he would let it slid once and a while. as long as you communicated with him he was great.
Super fast and easy grader Each module comes with discussions and quizzes. I also took this class in the summer so the work may seem like alot but you have some time to do it. One final 5 page research paper is assigned near the end.
By far one of my favorite professors, I have ever had. Such an amazing professor!
Great teacher! highly recommended!
Very good professor, not a tough grader at all.
Professor Phinney is an exceptional online instructor. With clear expectations and detailed feedback, the class is manageable. Unstuckstudy AI and the provided resources make study prep a breeze.
easiest class ever taken
This has been my favorite Professor, he is kind and caring. The work is interesting and he fosters a fun environment to learn in even though it's all online. I can not say enough nice things about him!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Definitely take him! He is very fast with grading assignments. There is a lot of discussion posts, papers and quizzes (not proctored) but they were very easy! As long as you stay on top of your work you will pass with an A :)
As long as you read your syllabus and careful instructions, you'll be fine. He truly does care about everyone doing good in his class. I would definitely take his class again.
He is the best
He really cares about his students and responds fast. Took this as a dual enrollment class and it was easy. The final is only a research paper.
Genuinely one of the kindest professors I've ever had the pleasure of having! Excellent professor, the material was interesting and fun to learn about, which is hard to come by nowadays! If I could re-take this class, I would do it again! I cannot find a single con to having this professor, because he made learning so enjoyable for me! 10/10!
BEST PROFESSOR IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!! I was actually able to enjoy learning without worrying about my grade! He is super nice when grading, I got 100% on all 15 discussions and on each of the 5 final paper related assignments. He gives his personal phone# and responds super quick. Watch his video in the beginning! TAKE HIM! You will not regret it!
Professor Phinney is literally a breath of fresh air. By far my favorite professor at BC. Very straightforward and present which is important. Always gives feedback and responds/ grades immediately. Very understanding of the fact that his students have lives!
It's actually impossible to not get an A in his class. Amazing professor
Professor Phinney is one of the best instructors I've ever had. His teaching style is unforgettable because he doesn't just teach history—he makes you experience it. He puts you in the shoes of people who actually lived through them. He encourages you to think deeply, reflect personally, and write from a real human perspective. Take his class.
I took AMH2020 online with this professor. He had a lot of helpful videos and made the course easy to understand. This professor was extremely helpful and gives great feedback. Overall had a great experience, would recommend.
Nice professor and answers your emails/text in a timely manner. Didn't have to pay for the online textbook. Assignments and tests are easy. Research paper as a final which he gives you feedback on in your first draft submission to perfect it. 10/10 would take again!
Very easy course Professor Phinney is amazing 10/10 recommend.
