A Good Proffsor, but sometimes just a little too much during the lecture
I doubt you would find a professor at BMCC that is NICER, MORE helpful or MORE clear as to what is expected of you on your papers and on your final. He bends over backwards making sure you learn the material and are ready for the test.
Cool...easy A~!!!!
He was one of my easiest proffesor ever. I was so happy with him because he makes u understand the work clearly and put it very easy. His test r not hard n not alot of H.W. I wish i could've have him over and over again.
This is the best professor in history. If you don't understand his classes think about changing your mayor at the college.
fair professor. tests were simple and he was very easy on the grading. fun and upbeat professor.
No Comments
very educated, well balanced pro or did I mention easy he is the best in the entire school
This Professor is really great. Every posting for him is absolutely true. He will bend is back to make you past and usnderstand what he is saying take him for an easy A and if you want to learn.
Great professor. I will recommend anyone to take his class. He knows his materials, and will ensure you pass his courses. Somethign is very wrong if you find his class difficult. Professor Clock is an asset to BMCC.
Take his summer course, very easy!! No hw to do at all with 6 essay tests only. Don't worry, u get the questions be4 hand.
he is very very easy professor. he makes sure you get what you need and he makes things very clear. i think the neciest professor i ever had. if you what ever he asks for you will get an A.......... what a lovely professor i wish i can take all my courses with him.
nicest professor ever, please do take him dont miss a opportunity to increase ur GPA.
He is very sweet and i learned so much form him. I would recommend him to everyone. He really cares about his students and tries to make class interesting which is the most important thing. I would definetly recommend him to other students, I'd even yell it from a roof top!!!
although the subject is not an easy one, he has managed not only to make it interesting but for his students to earned an easy A. what a pro, he is truly a great professor. take his class, youll enjoy it.
Very good professor. Makes the lesson very interesting. It's an easy A with him. I have had no regrets with Prof. Clock. Would take him again, and again.
ANOTHER GREAT PROFESSOR AND THAT IS PROF CLOCK. HE EXPLAINS VERY WELL AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. HIS TEXT BOOK WAS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. HE GIVES 6 EXAMS 2 ESSAYS& 3 SHORT ANSWER ?S & DROPS THE LESS GRADE COUNTING ONLY 5 EXAMS. HIS CLASS WAS A EASY A. I WISH HE WAS ALSO TEACHING OTHERS CLASSES BESIDES HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
A very good professor...Although all his exams are in essay format, he will make sure you will be well-prepared before taking the test. Take him for an easy A.
He is clear and easy.
He is sooooooooooooooooooooooo nice and so helpful. He curves grades and if your absent once he will erase the absence! his tests are so easy just as long as u come for the review! EASY EASY EASY A!!
Prof. Clock is very nice and easygoing. It's easy to get an A with him. Does not stress you out. I'm looking forward to having him again for Political Science.
VERY GOOD TEACHER, GIVES YOU ALL THE OPTIONS TO PASS HIS CLASS
Prof. Clock is a perfect example of an outstanding professor. Do not get intimidated on the first day of class. He really is easygoing and you will learn a great deal in his class. No one should have a problem passing. He cares that his students do well in his class by giving extra credit. He is highly recommended!
Courses taken with Prof. Clock will be some of, if not, your most memorable and worth while experiences as a college student. He is the model example of the teacher who is an excellent communicator, well versed in the subject matter, and most importantly genuinely cares for -all- of his students. RE

Professor Clock is a great professor. I am very glad I took his class. He was entertaining, clear and easy to follow. He should be on CUNY TV teaching history and political science. He is a shining beacon of BMCC. If you need to take your American Citizenship test in the future, take his POL 100 class before your test, you will be well prepared fo
Professor Clock is an excellent teacher. He is very detailed and knows his stuff! Makes class very easy to get an A. I sure did.
Professor Clock is a very interesting, well organised gentleman. I wish all my professors were as patientate as he was. I would recommend him to any student, and be confident that they will finish his course wilh smiles on their faces. Thank you very much for the wonderful learning experience.
He is an owsome professor I've ever met in BMCC. Helpful, nice, and passionate. His test is basically an essay and not difficult. He gives us alot of information before the exam. If you love history, you would love his class!
perfect,you can get a easy "A" and learn a lot of interesting political knowledge at the same time. As long as doing all the home work he gives, you will get a "A"
Great teacher and you learn a lot. he is one of the most intelligent men i ever met. i would recommend his class to anyone.
GREAT GREAT PROFESSOR. I WENT INTO THIS CLASS WITH ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT AREA AND CAME OUT WITH SO MUCH. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSOR AT BMCC AND WOULD SURELY LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE HIS CLASS AGAIN.
Professor Clock is a wonderful teacher. He makes learning about politics interesting and fun. Because of him I am now more into what is going on in the world. We need to have more teachers like him.
He is the best professor. I absolutely love him. His class is not difficult. He explain stuff very well so you cant say you dont understand
Prof. Clock is great. He's funny, he's relatable and he breaks everything down so that its easy to understand. He seemed a bit strict on the first day when he was explaining his expectations but after that, once he laid everything out, he was super easy going. Trust me. Even if you have a hard time, he'll meet you halfway if you show effort.
You'd have to try exceedingly hard to not get an A in his class.
this pro is the best he uses his professional skills,humanist skills to help his students get the best grade
This prof. was extremely helpful. I took this class before and had to drop it, prof. Clock explained everything in such detailed it was easy to pass.
REMEMBER THIS IS BMCC, NOT HARVARD! MOST OF US ARE FULL TIME WORKERS . FOR A BEGINNING LEVEL COURSE THIS IS TOO MUCH! WELL, IF YOU ARE ONLY TAKING ONE OR TWO COURSE THEN STAY IN HIS CLASS. BUT IF YOU ARE A FULL TIME WORKER AND FULL TIME STUDENT YOU WILL JUST LOSE YOUR MONEY, CAUSE U HAVE TO DROP HIM! NO MCQ, ALL ESSAY-TYPE EXAMS+TWO TERM PAPER!!
People who rated him poorly just got bad grades. He's great, really thorough, gives plenty of notes and handouts, and one of his tests was a take home. Don't complain that its too much work-if you registered for it then you accept whatevers dealt your way. He's alot of work, but his standards prepare you for the senior colleges.
Hes the best professor from BMCC hands down. all those that disagree probably failed his class
by far the best professor to take for political science 100. hes very detail oriented and cares about whether the students learn or not. I disagree with the bad comments previous people have said abot him. He's #1 for when u gotta juggle a job and an education. he won't let u down.
He's a great professor. I learned a lot especially since I thought I disliked Pol Sci. He makes every effort to tell you what is required to pass. Anyone who doesn't like him is a total mess up in every class.
Great professor and great guy with an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. Although it is a politics class, he teaches by historical narrative. He does everything possible to help everyone in the class do well and gives GENEROUS extra credit. Don't be intimidated by the syllabus or his overview of expectations on the first day, he's a teddy bear.
He is very helpful, and the amount of the work is apropriate for college level course.
GREAT CLASS EXCELENT PROF.WORK LOAD VERY EASY GREAT ELECTIVE CLASS
Extremely helpful professor, U need to be in comma to get anything below B in his class.Highly recommended.
You fail this man's class only if you want to fail. Prof. Clock is hands down the BEST HIS prof at BMCC. Exams are easy and straigh forward once you READ, minimal homework but PLEASE WRITE GOOD PAPERS! He makes you want to learn history and makes it fun. Grab his class if you get a chance, trust me!!!
Great professor...the work is really reasonable and he helps you pass the class. He gives easy extra credit and knows his material very well. He tells history like a story and he makes it interesting. He is so adorable as well. I enjoyed his class and he is great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROF. CLOCK!!!
in the 2.5 years i beeen here this is by far my fav class. i use to hate history but he makes it soo much fun soo i dnt mind it at all now. if u fail is bcuz ure too lazy to read and show to class. if u can take him dnt miss the opportunity. n he lets u noe how ure doing thru out the whole semester which is great.
BMCC made the right choice to hire this professor. He is easy to follow, he is extremely knowlegable concise, and professional. There should be no reason in this world to fail his class.
the best professor, he helps a lot students. i think that he is a wonderful professor.i recommended to everyone.
Prof. Clock is a really good professor.I had him during the summer and I had no regrets.His exams are not difficult.Also,he will make sure you'll be prepared for his tests.So take him.
He is the one of the best professors of BMCC. If you would not do well in his class then you shouldn't go to college. Take his class and you won't regret. Remember to register early because his classes are full in no time.
He is the best teacher in my life.
BEST PROFESSOR AT BMCC BY FAR!HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES AND IT IS SO EVIDENT. AT TIMES HE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING TRANSPORTED BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS WITH HIS CLARITY, ARTICULATION & EXCELLENT NARRATION OF HISTORY!! VERY INTERESTING, KNOWLEDGABLE AND FAIR PROFESSOR..I FINISHED MY HISTORY REQUIREMENT BUT WILL TAKE HIS 101 CLASS ANYWAY!!
The best prof, no excuse to fail in his class, easy,easy, and again easy. if i can will takes his class again.
One of the best professors working at BMCC!
Professor Clock, to put it simply, is a nice man and a good teacher. He is passionate about what he teaches, and he is flexible and understanding with his students. You will not regret taking this class. Sign up the first day registraton opens because his classes fill up quickly.
As long as you can follow directions, Professor Clock will guide you and he knows his stuff...i'm taking him for His 101 now, that's how good he is i went backwards...lol
Great prof, very very intellectual in his field. He likes history very much that's why it makes his so great. He lectures like if he was to be telling a story to you, which makes you experience the historical eras of what really happened and how it happened. You will enjoy his class on day one. So buckle up and enjoy the ride to history. Great prof
i have taken two classe from the Pro Clark, i love his classes. i am going to take other one. thank you professer .
He is GREAT! He gives you all the help you need and he knows what he's talking about. He's makes any class time interesting and gives you a chance to pass. I felt like a smart kid in his class. We reviewed before the test I was never lost. Great experience.
Listen to what he says from the first day of class. He's making the teaching experience easier for both you and him. He really focuses on what he expects from you and thats all you have to do; no tricks, no BS, just do what he says. This was a great class which I enjoyed a lot and he is a great professor.
Professor Clock is very clear about what is required. His lectures are fabulously interesting. He obviously loves teaching. Follow his instructions to the letter and you will do well in his class. Excellent professor!
very clear. very fair. you will have two chances to recieve extra credit. unless do absent a lot or don't do his work, u may get a bad gread. i will take his class again.
THIS TEACHER I HAVE TO SAY IS THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD. HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING. WHEN IT COME TO EXAMS THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU COULD FAIL ANY OF HIS EXAMS, HE ACTUALLY GIVES YOU EXACTLY WAS IS GOING TO BE ON THE EXAM TO STUDY, BUT ATTENDANCE IS A MUST EVERY TIME YOU MISS A CLASS YOUR GRADE GOES DOWN.... BUT OVER ALL CLOCK IS A GREAT TEACHER
This professor is extremely particular of what he wants out of the students. Sometimes, to an obnoxious extent. He spent quite a bit too much time on the syllabus rather than the text. But when it actually came down to teaching, you can tell his very passionate about it and knows quite a lot. I plan to take him again for fall.
Prof. Clock is definitely one of the best History teachers in BMCC! I like the way he explains course materials are very clear and he treats students with respect. I love him, take him you won't feel regret!
Best History Professor at BMCC and is extremely easy to get an A in his class. His class is very interesting and he tells you exactly what will be on all of his exams, he gives an extra credit assignment. He is a must take!!
He must be the very best professor I ever had. It is really just as every one has said before. You can easily pass his class. He's geeky but very funny at the same time. He has a unique sense of humor.
This guy SCARED me on the 1st day, but ended up being very cool. DONT get intimidated. I remember on the 1st day of class the room was full, by the 2nd day half the class dropped it. Im glad i didn't. He is very helpful, he is so clear & his tests R EASY. Dont get scared! U will learn in his class. we read a book & it was GREAT. ill take him again!
BEST prof. EVER! He explains everything with clarity with his unique sense of humor. I never rate professors but thought he deserved it! Do the work, and you'll pass the class :)
Its true, the 1st day of class he seemed like a total jerk. I am so glad I didn't drop the course. He turned out to be one of the most awesome professors i've had at BMCC. He is clear, friendly and helpful with every assignment and lesson.
Great Prof! He is very knowledgeable,helpful & fair grader. Makes the subject (I took Pol101) interesting with lots of humor & life examples. Need to attend classes, do assign-s.You'll get your “A.” Gives you extra credit.Easy to pass his tests if you do your notes. Also he accepts draft works of assignments for review and correction.
Don't get scared about him on the first day. I was going to drop the class after the first day but I decided to stay and I loved the class. He is one of the better professors at BMCC. Do all your work and you will get a good grade!
he is very straight forward, there is no way to get loose in his class. his lessons are clear and engaging. he gives review sheets for each test, study them and you will get a good grade. he is very fair when it comes to grading. 3 tests during the semester and he drops the your lowest grade. i highly recommend this prof. for history or political
Prof. Clock is extremely informative with his lectures, you'll never want to fall asleep in his class. Although his exams are not multiple choice they're super easy. Only on the first day he seems very strict, but DO NOT! be intimidated, after that first day you'll grow to like him, he just wants everyone to follow class rules while he teaches.
OMG what can i say he is the greatest. I took him some years back and i was scared as hell.I was like Jack Tripper is gonna fail me. I wanted to drop him from my Saturday class and glad i didn't. I hated politics and needed the class. After taken him i have a whole new respect on the subject and he made it fun.
This prof is so organized, easy, and straight foward. he even gives you sample answers to the exam! he literally tells you the page to study, everything you need to easily pass the class. no way you can fail this class
Ideal professor. Perfectly organized lessons, crystal clear lectures, fair grading, just everything you need to learn the subject and have a great time doing it. It would be difficult to overstate my satisfaction of his teaching method.
Everything about prof. Clock was well stated and easily understood, he will help you if you do not understand. He will give one on one lessons if available. he knows everything with exeptional expertise. unparalleled to any other history professor in this field.
handS down the best take him you will not regret it, not only does he know his work but its easy, and very laid back, he gives chances & is very helpful. easy A, you don't have to take the final if you get A on both exams. he may seem mean in the beginning, but that's just to toughen you up. You will not be disappointed. TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM TAKE HIM
wow!I think he is the best professor in the world. I cannot describe how excellent he is!Guys,just take his class, you will be happy! He is just perfect college professor! I appreciate him so much! Clock, God bless you!
This professor is AWESOME. He is clear with everything sure loves history. I took his class as an writing intensive course and he teaches the course very well. He is strict with being on time but other than that, easy A
Was initially dreading the class but his enthusiasm and knowledge is infectious. Overall his class was thoroughly enjoyable & worthwhile. Painless because he presents the material in such a clear & interesting way. Told us exactly what we needed to know for exams. Extra credit option offered. Great professor overall. Textbook was not so helpful.
Best professor. I hated history and I was worried in the beginning but after taking his class I love history. I loved the way he taught it, it was crystal clear if you didn't understand he would make sure you understood. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who's taking history or politics.
I love history & I love Clock too. He makes the class very engaging and gives intensive review sheets before exams. He even will tell whats on the exam. There is no possible way to fail his class! Take him if you can!!
Awesome professor. Prof Clock is one of the best professor in BMCC. 4 TESTs, But if you got A in first 2 test, you dont need to take 3rd and 4th test, extra credit as optional parper. he give you very clear guidance for every test and paper. if you need to take a W/I, take him, you will never be regret. take himmmmmmmm.
So dedicated; answers questions and provides lots of feedback and direction. Also, he gives extra credit opportunities. Not hard to get an A. You need to do work every week and the midterm/final are tedious essays (6+ pages). Particular about how work is turned in and formatting but never in a way that makes it difficult for students.
At first Prof. Clock seemed a bit intimidating by being strict but that was his way of weeding out those students who really wanted to learn and those who weren't as serious. He makes the subject matter interesting. I took a 3 hour class and the time just flew by. He is extremely caring and helps you by correcting your drafts,gives extra credit.
Prof. Clock is an excellent teacher. He makes the class interesting. I had a 3 hour class with him and time flew by. He makes corrections to your drafts to improve them before they are graded and gives extra credit.
Prof. Clock is an excellent teacher. I had a 3 hour class with him and time just flew by. He cares about his students and will help you if it is needed. He offers extra credit and is passionate about History.
Very clear expectations and easy to follow up directions. Prof. Clock is very helpful and ALWAYS responds to emails. I you respect him he will def. respect you.
My favorite professor! He really makes you want to learn. Well worth taking him!!
4 tests n 3 papers, if you got A based on the first 3 tests n papers, its not necessary to take the last test, no midterm n final
Clock is a great professor. Taking his POL-100 class online, He is a strict professor in a way where he wants his students to learn and walk away with knowledge at the end of the semester. Midterm is about 6+pages but easy. He makes you work. I love this about you Professor Clock. You are great! Semester is almost over! no :(. I learn a lot so far!
I enjoyed taking POL 101 with Prof, Clock. He is a relatively easy Professor but he is very strict on attendance, lateness, and handing in work on time. His classes are all lectures, and once in a while he will write on the board. For my class we did't really use the textbook which i was disappointed about and i wish we would have covered more.
Very helpful prof. Follow instructions and you will be fine. He gives a review sheet for every exam which was so helpful. He has your best interest and wants to see you succeed. He knows his material very well and expects you to do well. I enjoyed taking his class and will take any of his history classes in a heart beat. He is an easy "A"
He is a great professor. Very organized and always there for you.He makes the class very interesting and tests are very easy as long as you study for it( he tells you exactly what will be in a test) Take him!!! It worth it:)
One of the best professors you can encounter. Explains everything he expects from you throughout the semester. Review sheets provided were extremely helpful. The way he carries his class was just awesome. If you read the textbook you would always be good to go in his class and studying is a MUST for history just a tip memorize the dates in history!
He is an all around easy teacher. His grading system is very easy and if you study for the test n do the papers easy A
Crystal clear in his requirements and grading criteria. Provides test prep sheets that accurately convey the material on the tests. Show up on time, study, do the assignments, kill the tests, and you are guaranteed an A. If you have an A average on the tests, you can skip the Final. Great Professor.
I took a three hour class with him on Saturdays and it breezed by. He is a very well-spoken professor and he is very passionate about the content of the course which is infectious.
easy for pol 100
Professor G, Clock is an amazing professor. He is extremely clear, knows how to speak to the student sand his way of explaining is fantastic. Clearly professor Clock was born to teach, and his way of teaching shows it.
Wow! Clock is one hell of a professor. One of the best I've had. EXTREMELY clear grading criteria and what he expects from students, you've got to be a serious procrastinator or slacker to not get a full A. Always received my grade within the next few hours and he is always helpful. Take him, you won't regret it. Fantastic professor.
Prof. Clock was great. He was very easy and easy going. He understood the students problems and concerns. Only 3 tests and 5 very easy essays. I learned in the class abd was interested.
Professor Clock is by far one of the best professors I have met. He is extremely helpful and will go over any assignment that you are not clear on. He is extremely blunt but does everything that he can to ensure you are prepared. Goes above and beyond to provide information to help you complete assignments. I would take any class that he is in.
Professor Clock made HIS102 enjoyable. He is very clear as to what his expectations are. There is no reason why anyone should fail his class. If you put forth the effort and do the work you will pass. He literally breaks everything down for you and tells you what he is looking for. Pay attention when writing your papers he is a tough grader.
A very nice professor. Easy tests! You will have review sheet for your test, and they are very easy. You will love this professor!
very good professor.
It's a shame I wouldn't be able to take him again in the upcoming semester. taking his class helped me on deciding what to major in when I transfer schools. By the way, even though he doesn't show it he is super understanding, but don't take advantage of him. He seems like the type you wouldn't want to cross if you took his kindness for granted.
Loved loved his class and his personality. Decided to take him again next semester for HIS101. Can't wait! Ps: you WILL learn while having fun. Does great reviews that will help you pass (if you study of course). Great professor who is very understanding. Always responds your emails in a timely manner. Simply amazing! A must take.
Simply the best! What a talent to teach and be respected at the same time. I am honored to take his class 'again'loved his way of teaching! And you would too.
Love the way he teach. I can't get enough of him. This is my second time taking him (had him for PoL100). This man should get an award for the most outstanding and knowledgeable professor. Not only that, his humanity is the ultimate beauty of him. Super generous and kind! You will not find a professor like him. You will have fun while you learn!
best proffesor ever you will love him !! he is smart kind and organized. I will take him again:)
I would recommend this profesor to anybody because his papers are easy and his test are very clear and understanding I like the fact that he mad history interesting because honestly I hate history but with him trust your gonna have a understanding ONE THING I LOVE THAT HE GIVE YOU A REVIEW SHEET WITH EXACTLY WHATS GONNA BE ON THE TEST !!!!!
One of the my favorite professors. Very organized ,well-groomed;) with Good sense of humor. I learnt a lot of interesting historical facts. It was an amazing experience.
I was apprehensive in taking this class, since i was not a huge fan of politics. After the instruction from Prof. Clock and his easy demeanor and projected work load, not only was this class an easy A but his approach made me become more involve and like politics. Do yourself and take this professor you won't regret it!!!
Professor Clock is genuine person. His teaching strategies is very unique than other professor. He is always there for student. If you work hard and show up class and submit your assignments ontime you will end up with A. There are many things I like about him but specific one is encouragement that he gave me. Highly recommend him you won't regret
What can I say that others have not? He is one of those FEW knowledgeable, intelligent, funny, caring, understanding professors, that you would barely find in your academic journey. He made me appreciate History and its value. Being that I came from another history class second guessing my abilities and dedication. You are on the right path :)
Be prepared to write. Prof. Clock dispenses with usual tests and quizzes. Your assignments and tests are to write essays based on the chapters read in the textbooks and supplementary materials provided. Blogs and discussion boards are also part of the grading. If you read the chapters and put in the work, the class is easy.
Ive had him for my History 125. Many student respect him because he never yells nor gets mad. Hes usually always happy most of the time. His test and papers are very easy and he explains it to you. His students respects him a lot as his lectures are amazing. Id take this class back again or another class he lectures. Id highly recommend.
He is amazing Professor. Really loved him. He explains awesome and always with good feedback. He helps you a lot to get a better grade ex. extra credit work. The most important thing " always be on time in class".
Definitely the best professor I've had in my entire college career so far. His work is understandable and an easy A. He also gives extra credit to redeem yourself. Would take him again!
GREAT!
Professor Clock is amazing. He wrote the me the nicest rec letter. He is a fair grader and he drops the lowest test grade! The papers are a little heavy and there is a 25 page journal you have to write for the Writing Intensive requirement, but it is managable if you pace yourself! If you aren't taking Prof. Clock for POL 100, what are you doing?!
Prof. Clock is amazing. I took his class online, he welcome you to the new weeks work, few days before course work is due is alert you. There is 5 question due every week; 1 for DB, 1 for Blog & 3 for critical thinking but this is done in your NB for yourself. There is 4 sets of paper assignment; 2 for weekly work, 1 for MT & 1 for finals Take HIM
Professor Clock's online class is the best. He keeps a very clean structure week by week. A weekly blog and discussion board post are mandatory. During the semester two papers (both three pages) have to be written. The midterm and final are writing assignments (6-9 pages). Extra credit s available, and deadlines are not negotiable.
please take this professor and you wont regret. Amazing syllabus and easy to understand, extra credit if needed. midterm and final are very easy-spend your time and do it. make sure do weekly individual blog and critical thinking because you need to use it on your midterm
Professor Clock is a true gem. Please take him for POL 100/HIS 101, you won't regret it! Drops the lowest test grade, so if you nail the first two tests, you don't have to take the final! The only real struggle was the book review, but it is manageable if you pace yourself and read accordingly. He wrote me a recommendation too, truly amazing guy.
At first I was intimidated taking his class, but now Im so glad I did. Hes honestly such an amazing professor!! Would definitely take him again!!!
He outlines exactly how the coarse work was going to be graded and all the assignments! Post on the blog & discussion board every week and then do the midterm and final essays. Very easy online class, highly recommend!
Easiest online class Ive ever taken. He gives a very straight foward outline of the class .Just make sure you do your discussion board and seperate blog post every week and youll be good , also do atleast 2/3 supplementary exercises for extra credit. Even better you dont have to respond to others discussion board post !!! Amazing professor !!
He is a kind professor who is really care of his student. Take him to save your GPA.
God bless you professor Clock. You are a human being. Please take professor Clock without hesitating. I wish he teaches History 102. He gives 2 tests, 2 essays, 1 presentation, and journal since it was writing intensive class. Multiple chances as an extra credit to boast your grade. He even makes proofread. Gives you guide line for each test.
Man listen! When I say this was the BEST class I could've taken this semester! He was very clear on his expectations. Not to mention, he gave extra credit and also let you know where you were as far as your grades and submissions were concerned! I wish this was my WI class. He is on point with everything!
JUST TAKE HIS CLASS! You won't regret it!
LOVED THIS CLASS, Great professor and easy outline. cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Gives extra credit at the end of the term to boost up your grade. Would definitely re-take this class !
Professor Clock was very lenient about his expectations from students, he reminds you about the deadlines over and over again - all he wants is for his students to do the work he asks on time. I took him for summer online and he is very flexible with timing of assignments. Best professor, definitely recommend!
Took this class during Summer I by far the most straight forward class I have ever taken. I honestly don't see how anyone can get anything less than an A, Read the chapters make sure you do all your work and essays. Time management is key! He is simply the best, no stress, no test, just read and write. Hand down best online class.
Prof Clock is a real gem at BMCC. He is respectful and a very charming man. He's good at his craft and wants all of his students to learn. His class is a writing intensive course but he makes it extremely fair and easy. His journal project is super easy and if he's feeling nicer than he is, he'll change it from 20 pages to 16 pages. TAKE THIS PROF!
Prof. Clock is one of the best professors I ever had. You'll have to write two essays, a journal, and do an oral presentation. There are three tests, but the lower grade is drop. If you get an A in the first two tests, you can take the third for extra credit. He gives extra credit. He does not accept late work. The final is just if you need it.
one of the best classes I have had in my academic career. Prof Clock is very straightforward. H.W. is due every Sunday night, you complete your h.w and essays on time and you submit the required essays and you will guarantee to pass the class. No late submissions. He provides progress reports 3 times in the semester. TAKE HIS CLASS!
If you are looking for a review on Mr. Clock whether to take him or not.. DO IT!! You will not regret it, I took him online. Only discussion board and blogs every week, simple. 2 papers (midterm and final), all based on discussion board topics. Easy grader. You won't regret it.
Very good professor. His work is not too difficult and he is not a harsh grader, he makes everything clear and you will not regret taking his class.
This class is super easy to get an A. For an online class, you have a blog entry and discussion board weekly with about 5 essays which is understandable as it is a writing-intensive class. I believe everyone should take this class for writing-intensive.
It was a Writing-Intensive class, and I had to write eight essays but two pages long each. You will get a good grade as long as you do everything ON TIME because he doesn't accept late work. His class is very organized, and I loved how he always sent us weekly reminders about the deadlines. Time management is essential. Take him!
This has been one of the best professors hands down. If I can take his class over and over again I will .
Well rounded professor ! Prof Clock is very lenient & he constantly reminded students of due dates . Assignments were very light weight **in my opinion ** . No pressure from this class. Definitely recommend this professor
He is very straightforward and clear about what he needs from you to succeed in this class.
You will get a good grade as long as you do everything ON TIME because he doesn't accept late work. His class is very organized, and I loved how he always sent us weekly reminders about the deadlines. Time management is essential. I also took him for HIS 101. Take him!
Best professor ever! Discussion board questions, Supplementary exercises, and 6 essay exams which are 9 pages each are all easy. NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED AT ALL. Easy A only if you write well and do all of your work.
Professor Clock has a clear grading criteria and was very accessible. Do weekly Discussion Boards and submit a weekly Blog. Papers are simple and straight forward if you pay attention to weekly material. He gives daily reminders to submit your work.
This was the first asynchronous course I took and the class was relatively easy . We had to complete 8 essays , weekly discussions boards and weekly journals . The professor was very helpful and responded quickly to my emails .
This was the first asynchronous course I took and it was so easy. Everything is explained very well. I took his class for the Summer 2022 semester. You just have to read all the guidelines. You have to submit a weekly discussion board and blog entry. We had six essays in total. 3 for midterm and 3 for the final exam. They were pretty easy.
The best! I one hundred percent recommend taking him.
EZ A! He already has a layout, and just cares if you submit your work. He does not read assignments, match the number of words he asks and you will get the A. I cannot stress how easy his online class is. I would take him twice more. Don't take advantage of the due dates, he is strict with those. Did I mention it's an EASY A?!
Great and super interesting lectures, you can tell he's passionate about what he's talking about. Took him in fall 2022. The reading was interesting. Fair grader when it comes to the finals. Lots of ways to raise your grade. You just got to do the DB and get 85% on the midterm and final and you will get and A. Love this guy!
Excellent Professor, top notch. He is very formal, & a man of few words. But if you respond well to that type of teaching, follow all instructions and apply yourself, you will do well. I really enjoyed his course and the textbook from which we read. This was a writing intensive course. I hope to take more history with Professor Gil. *****(5 stars).
As long as you submit all of your assignments on time, you will get an A. He's a quick grader and communicates back quickly. His discussion board and blog questions were interesting and very opinionated so it gave me a chance to voice out my own thoughts and opinions. Loved his class!!
One of the BEST professors ever!!! You won't regret getting him. Great lectures and as long as you do your assignments on time, consider you got yourself an easy A.
I took his asynchronous class this semester and I'm really glad I did. He has good ratings for a reason. He is very clear on what he expects and sends out reminders for everyone. His work is organized on blackboard and as long as you submit your stuff on time, you're good. I def recommend him.
I took this course as an asynchronous class for this semester and I'm really glad I did. He has good ratings for a reason. He is organized and very clear on what he expects. He also sends out reminders for everyone. As long as you submit your work on time, you're good. Def recommend taking him
Tough grader. Doesn't give out 100% scores. 95-96% is as good as you'll get. If you do that well, expect zero feedback. If you don't, I imagine you can expect tough feedback that will feel critical in tone. Clock is very formal and requires you make every inquiry in proper letter-writing format. I liked him just fine but hoped for more feedback.
Prof. Clock is genuinely a nice person. He sends constant email reminders of deadlines and is very thorough in class. Midterm and Final is approximately 8-10 page paper, along with two other short essays. Overall, if you do DB's and Blogs you get full credit.
pretty decent teacher honestly. can be a tough grader and nitpick at times for petty reasons and can make you feel stupid for asking basic questions though. overall not too bad of a teacher to be honest.
The class is super easy and good, the teacher is super professional and well worth taking it.
I enjoyed the lectures! His passion for the subject was evident. Something of a tough grader, but works with you to make up any lost credit by the end of the year. Get ready to write!
Took him for online summer course, professor Clock is great! Be ready to write for your midterm and final exam :) overall really good professor.
Prof. Clock's POL100 class is a great option - he's organized, communicative, and makes the material engaging. The workload is manageable as long as you stay on top of assignments. unstuckstudy was a useful study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, highly recommend this class!
I took this for a summer session and it went pretty well. I was a little confused at first but I was able to contact him and he clarified everything. He's very easy to reach. The book we use is provided as a PDF so you don't have to pay for it.
Professor Clock is the absolute best! His grading criteria is very clear, a discussion due every Sunday, and an occasional paper assignment. All the instructions are super clear, and you learn a lot from the textbook he provides! Submit your assignments on time, do the weekly discussion and you'll get an easy A. Take this class!!!!
I took POL 100 over the summer with Prof Clock. There is a lot of reading material, but you do not have to pay for a textbook for the summer class. Be prepared to write a lot (minimum of 6 pages) for the midterm and for the final each. The only time you get an update on your grade is after the midterm and after the final. NO LATE WORK.
The course contains easy lift assignments and papers to write. Would highly recommend.
