He was generally a decent teacher. He knows a lot of information about WWII, but taught it like we were all still in High School.

this huy is the man. i slept through every class an got an A. Gives hw basically everyday but easy. Only need to write like 2 comments based on the reading. and no tests. awesome teacher

Easy teacher ,just do your work and you can get a A without even trying, nice guy and does know alot about WWII

Nice teacher. Very cool, and knows his stuff.

No Comments

Guy is a good teacher he does his own thing which is group work for the most part along with easy HW such as reading / make comments or questions. His class is literally HW based for the most part as long as you read and do what little of you he asks you'll pass w/flying colors. Really great guy I'm going to def. try to get in more of his classes!

If you want an A.....take his class....he makes you learn.

Dr. Dutter is a great teacher. It was an honor to be in his class. I agree with all the other comments made about him. He is a very intellegent man and will take time to tell extra stories. He always knows alot about anything you ask him. He also gives alot of chance for extra credit.

He is the best teacher I have had at MCC. You can tell he really knows his stuff and cares about his students. As long as you do the (easy) homework, you will walk away with an A.

Easy, and he loves wearing sweaters. Rock on Gordon!

Mr. Dutter is a really good teacher. I am understanding a lot from his class.

Dutter's class was great. We would recieve homework assignments the night before and would go over them in class in groups. All we did was talk to people around us about whatever so it was entertaining and easy. He gave out a lot of 2 page essays but for the most part always gave A's. I didn't do to good in class cause i always skipped.

Dutter's class was awesome b/c it was easy and there was no lectures. There was hw every night but in class we worked in groups. This was the only class that I actually talked to other students and I loved it!

Nice guy, lots of group work, and lots of homework. Easiest class that I have ever been in. The final amount of points in the class was around 850 and there was over 150 extra credit points, if you didn't get an A in this class than you really didn't want one!!!

Homework every not, but incredibly easy. he's a nerdy older guy, but i enjoyed the class. impossible not to get an A

Very easy class, lots of room to screw around and only incur one of those famous Dutter glances. Watch out though, push him too far and he might come out in a Dutter Attack! Ah!

He's one of the best. I'm more of a visual learner, so it'd be better if there were more structured lectures than group work, and if he'd quit ranting about questionable educational theory nonsense, and taught actual history. But still the EASIEST college history class you'll take. So DO IT!

This class was a lot of work, but very easy. He gives homework every night, but it is fairly simple. He gives out A LOT of extra credit. He can be somewhat boring but he is a really nice guy. Easy A!

Dr. Dutter was one of my favorite professors at MCC! His class is interesting (actually fun), and he's a really knowledgeable and nice guy. He always uses group discussions, so you really get to know everyone in the class. If you have an opportunity, take a class with Dr. Dutter!

Definitely take Gordon Dutter. He does not lecture and let's the class be involved which is rare. The books are fun. Once you reach the expected points you can stop doing work. You need a western civ to graduate a 4 year school so might as well take it now. He is amazing!

Very easy class as he is an easy grader. He doesn't lecture much but does alot of group discussion and activity. He's a really nice guy too. His class will be an easy A and you'll be glad you took it.

easy to get an A

If you enjoy history and need a break from dreary material this class is excellent.

this teacher is so easy, you dont have to go to class, homework is a joke, NO TESTS, NO FINAL, gives extra credit and instead of tests you complete easy 1-2 page essays! take this class with DUTTER!

I love P. Dutter! He is seriously, one of my favorites.

hes okay

Attending class is mandatory because there is always homework to hand in and group points to earn. Most classes there is an open book quiz or regular quiz. If you miss a class you will be behind a lot of points. There is no tests so that is great but the homework gets annoying. He is kind of boring but if you do all the work it is an easy A.

PHENOMINAL INSTRUCTOR! i had absolutely no interest in western civ. but as long as you do the reading and homework (there is alot) you can get an A, no exams...alot of quizzes and tests but they were extremely easy! hes helpful and gives clear understanding to the material...

if you hate history take it with Dutter. His class was super easy. He asked the class for Q&A and the next class those were on the exam. Homework was super easy.

EASIEST TEACHER EVER! If you don't get an A in this class, you're an idiot. I had an 110% average by the end. No tests, quizzes once or more a week and homework every day. Dutter is a nice guy, awkward but he is a good teacher. All you have is homework every night (which is a joke), quizzes which you can use the book during, and 5 essays.

Dutter owns. Clearly one of the easiest best teachers ever.

Dutter owns. Definitly one of the easiest, awesome teachers ever.

I loved this class, and Dutter gives an easy A if you read the homework and do the essays. He's not a difficult grader, and quizzes were super easy. Definitely would recommend him, and would take his class again.

I have had him for two different classes only because he is any easy A. Very nice and is grader as long as you get all the information from his textbooks. He gives easy quizzes that we have the questions and answers to. No tests only a few essays and homework for grades. Homework every night but only includes giving such things as comments ect. eas

The class was... easy. Except you have to do homework every night (its easy hw, but still, EVERY night) and write 5 essays throughout the semester. He's pretty boring and awkward and ridiculed Christianity alot, which was frustrating. Overall, I accomplished an A. I would recommend if you have interest in Western Civ but otherwise it might be rough

Great Instructor, Average Teacher. Dutter tends to make the material dry and exhausting, even when it should naturally be so much more. His class may be an Easy A, but the class is more like a constant show + tell (of your homework) than a solid history lesson.

Dutter is hilarious. He is the easiest and most interesting professor MCC has to offer. Definitely take this class with Dutter if you have to. Take also if you're looking for an easy A. Gordy is just the best. No arguing that.

Easy class, however way to much group work. Dutter is a nice guy. Fast grader as well, you always know where you stand.

Dutter is the man. His class is super easy he and he give out so much extra credit too. If you go to class do the 30 minutes of homework, you will pass his class with an A no prob :)

AN easy class and it actually helped me remember all the stupid dates that i couldn't before. Lots of 10-15 minute homework but it really helps your grade stay up if you don't do well on test and essays

extremely easy, home work due every class but it only takes about 15-30 min and its an automatic 100 if you turn it in. five essays total-one page. easy a

Professor Gordon was the best. When I missed three of class the only thing he said was, "here's your homework, do it when you get the chance." Really nice and funny although it takes a special person to really get his historical humor.

Easy A. Every single class is just group work, its ridiculous for a college course.

Had him for Western Civ and it was the easiest course I have taken in two degrees. I believe I received about a 103% overall because he gives out so many extra mark assignments you can do for bonus marks. Also a really nice man.

Alot of reading,but can be minimize, easy HM, open book exams. just study for the Quizes. Very nice professor, give out extra points. plus four Essey, if u do the reading,the Essay are a breeze. Plus i actual learn more about WW2, then just knowing the basic.

Aweso teacher!!! he does seem a little clueless at times but very reasonable and he makes everyone interact with eachother in class which makes it go by faster!! very easy grader also!!! alot of homework but its very easy and all tests are open book!!! took his modern asia class. alot of quizes but answers are literally given to you prior to test!!

Prof Dutter is great! Lots of reading but you can minimize it, along with a lot of HW, but its all very easy. Make sure you do your homework, you need it to do classwork and interact with classmates which is the majority of the class. He wants you to succeed and will help you along the way. A little bizzare but so nice and truly likes teaching!

Easy teacher!! All his quizzes I've gotten bonus on. He gives u 20 questions to study and hell put ten on the quiz. He basically giving u the answers. U need 4 books for his HIS 106 class but don't buy all of them . Only buy the western civilization text book because all the other books(readings) u have to do he e mails u them

This professor is SOOOO EASYYYYY. IF YO WANT A GET HIS CLASS. EVERYTHING IS COMMON SENSE, QUIZESS ARE EASY BREEZE, WRITING PAPER EASY, EXAM ESSAY OPEN BOOK. you wont regret this class or any class he teachesssssss. AAAAAAAAAAAAA for the semester.

Easy course. Felt more like a high school class than college. Think he wants everyone to pass so he dumbs it down. Wish I had learned more but will take the A and move on.

Great teacher. Finished easily with an A, but that was because it was so easy to learn under him. A lot of class was broken up into groups where we'd teach other students information we got from reading, which I found very interesting. Had a great time in his class.

Easy A. Tests are relatively easy. Four essays for the semester as well as tests.

Professor Dutter is an easy professor, but he makes his students work in groups for most of the class rather than lecturing. Gives homework every night too; not something I enjoyed. His exams are easy though. Would not recommend his class if you hate working in groups.

Great Professor! Dutter has a dry/dorky sense of humor and an interest in his subject. If you don't mind group work and are willing to spend 30 mins a night doing his homework then it will be an easy A.

Dutter is a kind and knowledgeable guy. He's a bit reserved, but you can get him talking if you engage in his discussions. He often does not lecture and instead relies on students to learn through group work and text assignments. All tasks are VERY straightforward, but if you plan to take a lot out of the class, you'll need to be an active reader.

Dutter is a really nice guy but his lectures are brutal. Such a boring class and did not learn a thing. There is a lot of homework and I mean A LOT. This class is an easy A though if you can make it through the end.

LOVED this class! Best class ive taken. do the homework, youll get an A. I never missed an assignment or class, just left class early sometimes. Passed the course with a 103%. Also I didn't buy the book, its available in the library. Tests were a breeze, just time consuming! WOULD TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER. btw lots of group discussions.

I LOVE Professor Dutter. I've taken him twice and would take more with him. He has a dry sense of humor, but he is funny and very passionate about history. There's a lot of assignments but they are really easy. He gives you a chance at extra credit you can skip homework sometimes and still end up with an A. Tests are open notesopen book. Great guy

Favorite professor ever! There's tons of reading but that's expected in a history course. Lots of hw but it never takes more than 15 mins after you finish the reading, the hw is basically a way for him to give credit for reading. If you do the work you will learn a lot and pass the course. Lots of group work in class and tests are open notebook.

TONS of hw from the books, but if you write a something coherent you get credit. All tests are open booknotes so easy pass if you copy notesscrounge the book. The essays aren't graded too harshly RECOMMEND: Take any classes that boost your GPAelectives through Dutter. Super awkward guy but other than that he's a-okay in my book

Easiest class in the world! Do you homework, don't even have to read just skim, print out notes,quizzes and powerpoint than it is the easiest A. You have to actually try to fail his class in order to actually fail. Tests are open everything

Funny and a really great class

Best teacher ever. His number one priority is for you to pass. He makes learning the material, SO EASY! And I hate history... professor dutter makes like 1/2 of his tests extra credit so they are long but you could leave 15 questions blank and still pass. There are questions for every reading passage but are very easy. Tests are open book too!

All in all, a great professor. Assigns a lot of homework, but it's rather easy. As well, he's a rather easy grader. He gives you chances for extra credit on every quiz and exam, and the exams are open textbook and open note. Honestly, you can only fail if you don't do the work at all.

lots of group discussions, other than this i loved his class. extremely nice guy and wants to give you the best grade you allow him too, if you take 10 minutes to do his homework you will get an A no doubt.

Just come to class and take notes. Open book tests, perfect scores on HW just for attempting it.

Doesn't really teach, gives a ton of homework (that's pretty short), and has about one essay due every six weeks. If you give a minimal amount of effort you will pass - he gives full credit just for doing the homework and all of his tests are open note. You will be expected to more or less teach yourself.

Dutter is a great professor. Only assigns 3 essays a semester and gives you plenty of time to complete them. Classes have a lot of group work. Homework is easy and tests are open notes. A lot of opportunity for extra credit. Lectures are interesting, he actually gives you time to write the notes down instead of flying through them!

Dutter is a quiet, analytical, dry-humored type of guy. Do the HW every night, go to class for the notes, complete the 4 essays, and you will get an A. If you stick around til the end of the semester, expect a ton of (arguably) bad puns and jokes. Dutter is a great professor and I recommend taking him!

Definitely an easy A if you do the daily homework, take the notes that you use for the open note tests, and do the 4, 2 page essays based on the books. He's a simple guy that knows his information and has a system. Everyday you'll take notes, talk with your groups on your homework, and go over it in class. A lot of extra credit makes it easy too.

If you want the easiest A of your life, take this class. It's so easy it may in fact seem boring. Whole class is open book and endless extra credit opportunities.

Any class that Mr. Dutter teaches will be the easiest A of your life. This isn't saying that he is a bad teacher in any way. Every test is open notes/ textbook and there is very easy homework every day. I urge you to take any possible class with Mr. Dutter to help boost your GPA. You can thank me later.

There is homework every night which is just answering simple questions on a readying. I was able to find a free pdf of every book online if you don't want to buy them (they are cheap though). He's an easy grader and as long as you show up to take tests and hand in homeworks you will pass. All tests/quiz are open book including the use of your phone

Gordon is such a wonderful professor. Hes elaborate and fair. There is quite a bit of homework and taking notes is a MUST. I would recommend you do note taking electronically, if not, fairly organized. Trust me, youll thank me later.

The guy knows his stuff. Relatively dry lecturer but he can be pretty humorous once the semester is well underway. Focuses heavily on group discussion. For TR classes, there is 25p of reading assigned for every class and short written work too. Tests are open book/note, derived mostly from powerpoint material, and you can get up to a 120% on them.

He was a good professor. If it wasn't for the other students who made every class so much harder than it had to be I wouldn't have skipped so much. He has lots of quizzes but the class before we make the questions and answers for the quiz so we are very prepared for it just dint skip the class before the quiz.

Prof Dutter is such an easy A, all you have to do is read and do the homework. If you skip class, not a big deal- just make sure outside of class you keep up with the reading. Gives plenty of extra credit throughout the semester, and literally sets up the class so it's impossible to fail. All tests are open note. Great prof- gets the struggle.

SO MUCH HW it will make your head spin! However, completing the HW guarenteed a 100% on the HW so if you do the work you are guarenteed to pass. Also tests are open book. Due to all the extra credit on quizzes and tests I got a 103% in the course. Plus he offers other extra credit outside class. 4 tests, 4 papers, hw ever class few quizzes.

Dutter is a professor for history majors, which I am, homework every night, and group discussions every class, which gives the illusion you are learning by yourself but you are not, he gives a healthy amount of notes. I feel he knows his stuff and he finishes the semester out strong if you make it to then, we began with a big class. 20 at end

Great Professor, alot of notes 3essays 3exams... Exams are open notes ,open book. Not difficult to pass at all!

I needed a history course as a prerequisite and this was the only course which worked with my schedule. Easiest A I've ever received. As long as you show up and do your work, no reason you won't get an A. All exams are exact same format, open book, open note. He gives you the questions and answers for all the quizzes, just have to memorize them.

Love my man Gordon. Very chill. His lectures are short and get straight to the point. Not a difficult grader. As long as you do the assignments you will get a good grade in the class.

I loved this course, but it was extremely writing-intensive. The course was asynchronous, but it felt like if you took a day off you could easily get behind. You definitely need the 2 textbooks and you must listen to all of the lectures.

He gives a lot of hw but its okay because he also gives time to do them

Ok hear me out his lectures are extremly boring but all of his quizes are short and all the answers are given to you so if you memorize them you get a free 100. Also, his tests are all open book so honesly I would totally recomend him you just have to sit for over an hour painfully bored but great class for a free A. I want to take him again!

Boring lectures, but easy exams and quizzes. Use Unstuck study and the textbook to get a good grade. Attendance is a must, but worth it for the free A.

I was surprised at this class. It was a lot of work for sure, but Professor Dutter gave you time to do them. The class was lecture heavy, but all of his exams were open note, and he was not at all a tough grader. He is very lenient and definitely want you to succeed. Participation matters. Be present in his class and you will pass!
