He was a very nice man. Except for he made you read articles of newspapers and summarize them.

man, one thing i remember about Mr. Bell is that he smelled soooo good ( i could close my eyes and could tell when he came into the room!) other than that...i didnt like his point system and the test were a little tricky!

He is a very good professor. He gives a lot of Extra credit points on each test, possible of making 16 points extra on each test. Easy to make an A, I slacked off and made a B. You also get a somewhat helpful review before each test.

This class isn't a hard one, just 1) go to class 2) take notes 3) do the bonus work 4) study the group assignments and practice tests. Reading the book is a bonus, but he usually goes over the important stuff in class.

he seems like he would be really interesting in a higher level class, but for a basic history class at a community college, he does not go above and beyond. his tests are easy if you do the group work the day before. overall, better than most, not as good as some

prof bell is very laid back had him for distant learning 8wks wants to help you if you help yourself and was always there at our scheduled appt for retest if needed. great prof! oh and does smell good!!!

He's the best! if you take him, you would loveeee history because he makes it very interesting. he test are pretty easy, but the mutile choice are pretty tricky. he offers alot of ways to ear nbnus points. take him and you won't be sorry you did....

Great teacher. This negative comments are ridiculous. He's very helpful and the A is easy if you put forth a little effort. A lot of the test questions are from lectures, but they can be found in the book as well. He's really laidback and is open to opinion on subjects. Overall, great teacher. I would take him again.

Prof Bell is really chill and his lecture are quite enjoyable. Lots of people complain about a certain degree of difficulty. However, as with any class, the effort you put into this class will be directly reflected in your final grade. That being said, just read the book and take notes and this class should be an easy A.

He cares alot about his students passing and gives plenty of extra credit! As long as you take notes in class and read a little of the book you will have an easy A! His lectures are more interesting than most teachers.

I love this professor he was very straight forward, laid back, and he made leaning new things interesting an understandable. I highly recommend you take this class cuz if you do you WILL get an A

I like his class, but you definitely get out what you put in. I do the reading and am generally interested in the lectures, but I could see them getting boring although he does mix it up with videos to try to keep your attention. He's very jovial and pretty relaxed.

He is great professor. He gives out a lot of extra credit. His lecture is so interesting... I don't like history, but I enjoyed his class. And I remember a lot about Hist now. I want to take 1302 w him, but seem like he do not have one.

Nice teacher, but definitely expects you to work for your grade. There's plenty of chances for extra credit and you shouldn't miss a single one. You must READ to do well in his class. His lectures are detailed, but you must know the book in and out to do well on his tests. If he shows something in class (ie:charts,videos) they will be the test.

After continuing to get low grades on my things, Half way through the semester I came to him, the last 2 tests had EC on it, and for helping him do some stuff he gave me EC and I got a 100 for the last project. All in all, very good professor if you just pay attention, show up to class, listen and talk to him, he will help you succeed.

Super helpful! My class was struggling to make it, and he OFFERED help. He modified assignments to help us study! His tests are critical thinking, but everything you need is in class or the textbook. He gives you what you need to pass. He's straight forward and easy going. He's all about respect and hard work. I'm taking him again next semester!

He's very clear. He doesn't make friends with students but still does his job. He says exactly what he wants and is word-for-word on tests. You really have to read the text book and study the objectives. Gives 3 sets of extra credit per test. Tests are critical thinking. Requires some effort. Class isn't 100% needed, but you should still attend.

To start the tests are very tough, do your best, get the extra credit and all the points on the group assignments. Listen to his lectures as he puts some questions based on what he says, the rest is in the book.

AT FIRST I DID NOT LIKE THE CLASS AND WAS TELLING PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE HIM .. BUT NOW I AM TAKING HIM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY .. SUCKER FOR PUNISHMENT I GUESS .. BUT I DID LEARN AND TO ME THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ...

Everyone loves to hate on him, but he's a great teacher. You are in college now, so he expects you to act like it. This is why he gets such a bad rep; people don't want to do the work & then blame him for them failing the class! He is very clear in his lectures and on his tests. He will help if you reach out. One of the best history profs I've had.

Grading criteria is strange, but very clear. Do more, quality work you will be rewarded with a better grade. Tests are very easy if you simply look at the study guide the professor provides. I took 1301 with Bell and am now taking 1302 with Bell. You have to be a special kind of stupid to not get an A in this class.

Good professor. He makes the class as fun and dynamic as possible. You need to go to class to keep up. Gives many opportunities for extra credit. If you go to class and read the book you'll pass. He creates a "adult learning environment." He won't remind you to come to class or turn in assignments (there's few in the semester).

Good Professor. Gives a lot of extra credit through out the semester which really helps your grade. Tests are pretty tough just do to the way he words questions. Make sure you attend every class because the extra credit assignments could really be any day with out notice.

Syllabus is a bit difficult to understand but he'll clarify it. Once you can understand the syllabus you'll realize exactly what he wants from you for the entire semester.

In this class, i had a group with three other students; and together, along with Professor Bells assistance, we were able to pass the class with little to no difficulty. As long as you know how to read a textbook (not the same thing as Harry Potter, I admit); you will pass this class.

Professor Bell is the kind of professor that will not hold your hand throughout the class. You must read the text book, finish & review the study guides, participate in the group activities, and study for exams in order to do well in the class. As long as you do your part & keep track of the deadlines you will get an A.

The work you put in is what'll determine your grade. Interesting lectures, test questions are very specific so make sure you study notes & read text book a lot. Has a sense of humor. Don't try to be on your phone & think he won't see you. He was defiantly worth taking!

This was one of my favorite classes this semester. History can be slow and boring, but professor Bell makes it fun and active. He always makes students laugh too!

Professor Bell will not babysit you, you are in college now. He is very clear on what you need to do to pass, just do it, and you will be fine. Read the syallbus. Learn how to read and retain information from a textbook. Review your notes, attend class, do the assignments, and you will pass with a good grade.

Awesome Professor with a great sense of humor. He is extremely caring and want his students to achieve their goal. Prepare yourself for a lot of reading the chapters are extremely long his teaching style is straight forward. This was a tough class, but I enjoyed the journey of History I hope to take more of Professor Bell classes. Would definitely

Very entertaining class. All the grades are tests and one very, very easy project. Theres three things that help you on the tests: Slides, book, and review. I dont recommend reading the book, just do the review, and show up to class. He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit If you want to ace the class you have to do it. Easy points.

Prof Bell is amazing. Prepare to have your worldview blown out of your skull. Work hard, participate in class and DO THE HOMEWORK. All tests are directly from reading/ homework w/ extra credit from lectures. If you follow his instructions he hands you an A, practically guaranteed. Hard but worth the effort. Made history REAL.

This class is simple if you do a few things. Attend Class for lecture notes, Read the book chapters and do the chapter objectives outside of class. Professor Bell gives extra credit in group assignments such as cross words and multiple choice questions. To get an A all you have to do is attend class, read and study. Simple as that. No excuses.

Awesome Professor! If I had to take him again I wouldnt have any doubts Im my mind not to. I signed a C Contract and endured up with a B. Hands down best professor Ive ever had. Online class super easy.

I took this prof's online USHist class, and at first it was fine, just a lot of reading. But on many of the tests he gives out there are typos and some just flat out have the wrong answer. I would not take this prof online again. On the plus side, he responds to emails very quickly. Edit: he responded quickly and fixed the issue, very appreciated.

I took professor Bells asynchronous USHIST1302 course over the summer. Overall the course is easy if you read the textbook (around 400 pages), watch the videos, and take good notes. He responds fairly quickly to emails but his responses are often dry and short. Overall the class is fairly easy and if you put in the work an easy A.

You sign a "grade contract" that highlights exactly what you need to achieve your grade. Exams and quizzes are all open-note. Discussion boards are not weighed heavily. A 2000-word research paper is required for an A. The difficult part of this course is that it is 7 weeks, so material is densely compact. In the modern age, this class is an easy A.
