Good guy. Good head on his shoulders. If you work hard, youll thrive in this class.

One of the greatest history teachers i have ever had. He has a lot of lectures and required readings, but put in the work and you will do well in the class. He trues his best to accommodate the needs of his students by taking some surveys and then implementing the feedback from them. Overall he is a caring and funny teacher .

He's a great teacher. If you miss more than 4 classes it affects your grade. He has many different and unique assignments to get you involved in learning. He does offer some extra credit like a survey and bonus points on the midterm. He gives a study guide for the test. So, if you work through that, you should do well on the tests.

He gave a pop quiz pretty much every Wednesday that he graded pretty much pass/fail. You have to speak up in class in order for him to be willing to help your grade. He is also a tough grader. Powerpoints are very undetailed so you have to read the material.

Prof Carroll is a great professor. His quizzes are a little tough but he offers help and extra credit on them. He also cares about your input and will work with you. He was interesting to listen to in lectures and I enjoyed his class very much. If you do the work, it is an easy A.

He was always available outside of class when I needed help with papers. He cares a lot about student input and amends his class to an appropriate degree based on student concerns. He is really passionate about history, and lectures are always great. He offers A TON of extra credit. Lots of reading the textbook and documents, but AMAZING class!

Prof. Carrol was great. Communicated his expectations very well. He's very passionate about History. His lectures help with understanding the course material but you need to read the chapters assigned if you want to be successful on quizzes. He gives great feedback on essays. Yes. His history class has essays. Which I was fond of.

This man is so sweet and kind and awesome, seriously. Do yourself a favor and take his course. He does make you work for the grade you want but all in all his class is enjoyable and he is genuinely such a nice man. 3 quizzes, 2 tests and 2 projects basically make up your grade so make sure to try your best on those.

Class is made up of discussions, quizzes (take the practice quizzes). He grades based off of the rubrics, so follow those exactly and you will do just fine. Midterm was a paper with a few options on what to write about. We had to write one other essay worth a big portion of our grade, but had 4 chances to write it depending on what topic you chose

3 quizzes for weeks 1-5, 6-10, 11-15. 2 Projects, 1 mid term, 1 final. The quizzes are easy if you study the online quizzes he provides online. The two projects(mostly essays) are as well as the test/mid-term are somewhat harshly graded. Citations are very important and so is the textbook. Dr. Carroll ended up being great. Passionate, caring, etc!

Professor Carroll did a great job of making his class entertaining. He knows what he's talking about and knows how to make the class engaging. I would take his class again in a heartbeat. Make sure to do the practice quizzes, they pretty much guarantee you a good grade.

Very kind & caring. 3 quizzes, midterm, final, and participation. Values discussion and takes weekly grades for participation. Textbook helps but is extremely difficult to read without falling asleep; I survived without out it and used ppts online. Overall very caring and a solid choice but there are only 6 grades so be careful if you want an A.

He is very knowledgable in this course and obviously cares about it a lot. He gives 3 quizzes, 2 projects, a midterm and a final. If you actually do the work and readings, then it won't be hard and will be engaging. If you don't put in the effort, then that is when he seems hard. Just pay attention and read, then you will be fine.

Would not recommend this class. Others seem to be grading the kindness of the professor and not the actual content of the class. Almost everything is graded strictly, especially the essays. This class is more difficult than an English class, even studying seems to be no help. I was misled reading these reviews, take with caution, avoid if possible

Professor Carroll made his lectures very clear and incorporated videos and activities that made them interesting. I received a C only because of my work ethic but otherwise he was a great professor and was very nice. I would definitely take him again.

Professor Carroll is genuinely one of the nicest professors Ive ever had. He DOES give you everything you need to pass but he is very laid back in stressing the importance of the textbook. The practice quizzes are a MUST and he does grade the writing assignments strictly. Easy A If you brush over the textbook and show up.

Dr. Carroll is a wonderful prof, but if you are looking for an easy A- do NOT take him. He is a very tough grader, but you will learn a lot from this course. Overall, the course wasn't bad, just unnecessary discussion boards and a few too many essays.

You really have to put forth effort to make an A; Do the practice quizzes until you keep getting 100's, do the discussions and essays exactly as he asks. Discussion posts alone are 400 words, essays about 900+. He's the type to read your papers thoroughly and take off points for any little thing. 8 discussions, 5 quizzes with webcam, 3 essays.

Great guy, really passionate on the subjects he teaches. Go to class, and make sure you take his practice quizzes, they are extremely helpful.

His lectures are actually interesting. Most of the class is discussion. Theyre pretty easy. However The quizzes are lockdown browser and there were a few bigger writing assignments. you will need a textbook but all in all he grades nicely. I would take him again.

One of my favorite professors and cares about you. He doesn't regurgitate the textbook because he actually teaches you. He does require you to participate in class, but it's for your own benefit. I wasn't doing well in the class until I started to participate.

I highly recommend Dr. Carroll. He is very thorough with his lectures. If you have any questions he is there to help and responds surprisingly quick. Don't wait till the last minute to do your assignments, do them fairly early so you can evaluate your own writings. Also read your book and take notes to go over later. Have fun with the course!

His class is the one I look most forward to. He had weekly 5 question quizzes (which can be hard). He listens to his students' concerns. He gives extra credit, drops your lowest quiz, and rounds your grade up a point for good attendance. There is a role-playing game that helps you make friends, but it can make or break your grade so participate!

I really enjoyed professor Carroll. His lectures are great, and he will work with you if you have concerns. However, the assessments are very difficult, and there is a lot of weekly work. The textbook is mandatory, and almost impossible to navigate, but his lectures are amazing. If you are ready to work hard, you will succeed in this class.

The tests were pretty easy if you did the study guides and the final project isn't as bad as I thought it would be. He is easy to communicate with, not to mention very nice. The only thing that was bad was the amount of quizzes (1-2 per week). I get its a lot of material but its also a prerequisite class. Overall, he was a pretty great professor.

Dr. Caroll has been by far my fav prof at KSU. Innovative online lectures, interesting course material, supplementary learning material, extra credit, and NO ESSAYS! Watch the lecture videos & at least skim the readings, you'll do good. During my busy weeks I went through a week's worth of studying in a day and got 80 or 100 on the 5 question quiz.

Dr Carroll is a great professor. There are a lot of assignments, but he does his best to make you understand the content. He is open to feedback and is a very caring person. He wants you to succeed. It is very lecture heavy, but he is a cool guy. Skipping probably won't help your grade.

Professor Carroll is most likely my favorite professor. He is very understanding, and is willing to work with you if you show that you care. His tests are very easy, as well as his quizzes. The hardest part of this class was the primary source quizzes, but there were only a few. He is the professor that you miss when you leave. 10/10.

He started the semester with a history game where we all got to play historical figures and argue our points, for extra credit. He really knows the material and was available to answer any questions we had about the timeline. Most in-class projects are group assignments, but he is willing to let you work alone, if you prefer.

teacher cares and a good person. Understand students and curves if needed. 3 major test with multiple quiz. has a cool game that is a part of grade easy class take it.

Don't Run. Really not a bad professor at all. Very organized and gave many opportunities to improve your grade. Fair and respectful. Take him for Post modern History.

Fred is an amazing professor. He is proficient when it comes to all of the course material. The hardest part of the course was the 2 primary source analyses, where we were given a choice of 2 documents to write about for each PSA and then had to summarize and provide historical context. Make sure to read the textbook if you want to pass the quizzes

Class is graded based upon discussion posts, weekly quizzes (no lockdown), primary source analysis papers (3), and exams (3, lockdown). The primary source papers take up 45% of the grade, whereas each of the exams are weighted 10% each. Lecture videos relate directly to quiz/exam content.

Honestly not sure why there are so many negative reviews. Prof. Carroll's class was the only one I genuinely cared about and put effort into. The primary source analysis grades are not that difficult just a definitely long. I found him to be a knowledgable and understanding professor. But don't take his class unless you plan to put in the work.

He is super helpful and his lectures contain lots of information plus you have access to all of the powerpoints. I used them to write notes on. Use that information for your assignments and projects. Missing a lecture or several could really hurt your grade.

The thing I liked the most about Professor Carrol was that his lectures were to the point. Most history teachers want to go on tangents, but not Carrol. His feedback was helpful, and if you put in lots of effort into his class, you will find it rewarding. He was also a caring person. He answered all my questions during and after class respectfully.

He has a genuine passion for History and is very knowledgeable. That being said, he is pretty brutal when it comes to grading. You must put your best foot forward in this class and ask many questions because he likes things to be specific. This class honestly helped me improve my writing and public speaking but you must work hard if you want an A.

He genuinely is a good professor. Lots of group pptx projects. The tests are based on lectures. He posts the PowerPoint but they arent very detailed so go to class. The majority of the homework is reading from the textbook. If you struggle on a test, you can go over it with him; sometimes, he will change the grade (even if it's the wrong answer).

Professor Carroll is very knowledgeable about history and his lectures were wonderful. I took him online and his class consists of weekly quizzes (which have unlimited attempts), discussion boards, three primary source analysis, and three exams. He gives feedback and as long as you put in the work, you'll be fine.

He is a really caring teacher. After exams he always lets us give feedback on how he can be abetter instructor and he will actually make changes depending on what majority of the class states. We have group quizzes after an indiv quiz, so that helps if you don't do well on ur individual quiz at times. test can be hard so make sure u study
