Great teacher! Make flash cards from your notes for the five quizes, and right in detail for the essays.

Great professor and knows how to relate the material to his students by getting them involved in his discussions. Really knows his history and used to be a journalist in Washington so he has great stories. Take him, he's awesome! =)

One of the best profesors that I ever had, he makes class interesting and keeps the students involved. Exams and quizzes are not to bad if you attend class, and have good notes.

I took him my first semester here, and I'm a junior now, he's honestly probably the best professor at UCF.

great teacher, obviously loves the material, makes a 3 hour class not so bad. only bad thing is grade comes from 2 essays and 5 quizes

I loved him! He made the class realy interesting. It isn't an easy A, but it is possible. Just go to class (you won't want to miss it anyways)! I highly recommend him.

the BEST professor at UCF. lectures are interesting. and I studied the day OF the midterm and got an A :-) quizes are nice and easy. hes really funny and keeps you interested. :-) awesome prof!

Best professor around. Just make sure to go to class, take the quizes and read the notes, and you will get an A. He is so entertaining too, u'll actually enjoy class.

Take good notes and study hard for exams and you'll get an A.

WOW! What can I say? I am an engineering student, so Gen. Ed's never really thrill me. This was my favorite class this semister. Not only did I learn tons, but I was always in a good mood and always had a great story to tell friends later. Very f

great guy, not so sure about the chili pepper?! who did that? so yeah i wouldn't take it again if i had the choice, no reviews and the 2 tests can be on ANYTHING and are expected in detail. hes great for a story.

I loved his class, the only one i enjoyed going too. He gives detailed lectures each class and occasional quizzes that are a little difficult if you dont listen. Take him, he is great!!

Most interesting teacher I've had at UCF. I really enjoyed his lectures and I have never enjoyed a history class before. Make sure to write down anything he puts on the board, cus it'll be on your quiz. Don't skip.

An amazing instructor. Too bad there aren't more like him. He makes History interesting and fun, and you learn!!!

He's incredible! Go to class; it's fun! Quizzes are ridiculously easy, as are the exams. He makes history really interesting and has plenty of weird but fun stories. Sometimes I think he's on crack..but it's the best history class I've taken!

Great guy! Very knowledgable, exams are hard and are expected to be written in extreme detail. Quizzes are fairly easy as long as you write down EVERYTHING he talks about in lecture. Otherwise, very interesting and fun.

Awesome professor. I have a 3 hr class with him, but his stories are so interesting he keeps me entertained. Really funny guy. Incorporates his life stories with his teachings. DEFINATELY recommend him. Tests are essays and can be intimidating, but its a golden rule requirement & must be done anyway

Never enjoyed a history course until taking this one. History is interesting to me but I have a hard time remembering who killed who and on what day...Just know the material in general and listen to his lectures (which are awesome and funny). Grades fairly and the best professor I have had at UCF.

Awesome teacher, really funny, makes lectures interesting (even though it was 3 hours). Quizzes are unbeleivably easy but exams are tough and graded harshly. Best teacher I've had at UCF so far.

He is a very good teacher. You must go to every class because you don't know when the quizzes will be and you need ALL LECTURE NOTES for the exams. Only two exams so don't mess up. I got an A pretty easily.

Amazing teacher- extremely knowledgable, and VERY interesting.. gets the class involved. Fair grader and not a ton of assignments.

All i can say is take his class. He is a good guy and lectures are interesting.

He's a funny guy. This was the easiest history course I've ever taken, and I came in with a weak background in FL Hist. Very smart, though not totally attentive during the oral projects. Most of the grade was the final exam, poor test-takers should be concerned. I got an A. Take FL Hist w/ Dr Clark.

Dr. Clark is the best history teacher I've had. He makes lectures really interesting and presents the information in a way that is easy to remember.

He is such a great history teacher. Even if you aren't that interested in history he makes it interesting with funny stories. I had him for 3 hours and still stayed awake. He only has a midterm and a final which are both essay. So you just have to go to class. I diddn't read the book either.

This is a great guy. He really helps you out and wants you to learn history. He has so many stories that class will last the full length, but he makes it bearable. He goes through diet coke like no other also! I really liked him but his exams are tough. Just take notes in his class and you should be fine

very easy A, show up to class, pay attention to lectures, take notes and youll never have to study. great teacher, very interesting!

He is very strict (set in his ways); however, very easy. If I had to take another history class, I'd take it with him. Very fair grader. His pop quizzes are a pain, but they help pad the grade - just in case you need help. VERY good lecturer! Just listen, take good notes, and read the book - easy "A".

He's awesome!! He loves what he teaches and has a lot of experience dealing with AMerican history. His exams consist of 2-3 essay questions that come directly from the notes. His lectures are very interesting and easy to listen to. If you come to class and listen, you'll do very well.

best teacher i ever had. I learned more in this class than I have during my whole time here at UCF. Very interesting and funny lectures.

Very interesting professor, great lectures to keep you interested, tells everything like a story. midterm + final = tests. 5 pop quizzes, about every two weeks, simple. easy class, you'll learn a lot, and leave with an A if you try, a B if you don't. I definitly recommend and I had him for 3 hours, once a week.

Very good professor and interesting lectures. Enjoys telling stories about his misadventures throughout history. Five small identificaion quizzes and two exams. The exams will have three questions each, and you will have to choose two and write a 2-3 page essay on each. Study or fail.

This guy is so great, I really enjoyed his class a lot. He loves to teach history and he knows SO MUCH. I took him for three hours and didn't mind it at all, he's just very enjoyable to listen to and keeps you involved. I strongly suggest taking him. There are only 2 exams that are essay form so try to read the book. He'll notice.

Took him for FL History and loved it. This guy knows his stuff. You learn A LOT in this class and he makes it very interesting. Only three grades (research paper, presentation, and final exam)so not much room to screw up but if you do what he asks you to you'll be fine. You watch a lot of movies and he tells a lot of stories. Highly recommended!

He likes to pick on people during class to get everyone involved. The 2 essays and quizzes were great. You dont need to fully read the books. Read specific parts he mentions and drop names and dates in your essays from the book for an A.

I had problems making the class because of work. I only took the mid-term and that was it and got a D. Obviously I wasn't aiming for that but I really should have got an F. The 2 classes I did go to I was laughing and learning the whole time. I loved it

Clark is an awesome teacher. I was never one to like history but he made it VERY fun and interesting. the only bad part is there are only 5 pop quizzes and 2 essay tests. Not much studying...just specific names and events and you should be fine. his 3 hour long class is tolerable. he knows is stuff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Awesome professor who knows his stuff! His class is easy and you learn a lot of cool, fun facts. Grades are based on a project, presentation and the final exam, so you gotta be careful to not screw up. One problem is that he cancels class a lot, but he does review for the final, which is all essay, and he requires lengthy answers for them, too!

Great guy. Makes history a lot of fun. Grading system is between quizes(Mostly A's w/ one or two B's)...dropped one too! and essay (midterm and final). Essays aren't my strongpoint, nearly wrote my hand off (Low Low B for score), but it was a great classs. Keept it very interesting. Take Him!

His lectures aren't boring, but they usually last at least two hours, amazing that would happen in a 3 hour class huh person below me? Read the book for an A, don't read it and study for a B. We didn't have to write any papers which was a definite plus.

Very interesting teacher that has great stories and keeps everyone interested. As far as the tests and quizzes go, look at sparknotes on the American History Section and study the Terms and Key People for whatever section he is teaching. Quizzes and Essay tests are very simple if you study and know the material.

Awesome teacher, only 5 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. quizzes arent hard, midterm and final are all essay but not hard. he lectures each class, has great stories, keeps everyone involved. Take him

Great professor. Easy class. His lectures are supposed to be 3 hours but only once he used the full 3 hours in my class. Interesting stories and subjects, go to class and take notes, you can't get less than a B if you do.

Took him once a week for three hours. Usually used up the whole three hours, but his lectures are relativley interesting and he ties in good stories. Go to class, read the book as tests are essay based.

He is the most interesting lecturer and cool person in general. Even though class was SO long, I loved going. The quizes aren't very hard as long as you take some notes and pay attention. I got a lower grade than I expected on the midterm, but it still wasn't too bad. I deffinatly recommend him 150%

He makes History extremely interesting with his personal anecdotes and comments. Great sense of humor and really tries to keep you interested. His class grade is based on five quizzes (he drops your lowest) and midterm and final (both are essay but don't be alarmed). If you don't like history or want a refreshing change, this is your guy

His class was extremly interesting and funny. You have to work to get an A. Make sure to study before each class in case of the pop quizzes. I did fine but most people did not. Also make sure to read book to help for midterm and final. Funniest class taken at this school.

Dr. Clark is very knowledgeable about what he teaches. Unless you enjoy history, the class is pretty boring. However, he makes it bearable with funny stories. You need to be a good writer in order to get a good grade because the 2 tests are essay based (no suprize for a history course). Do good on the quizzes and you should have no problem.

Really knows his history! Great teacher, but a hard class. You really need a lot of facts for his essay exams!

Class can be boring most of the time as he continuously talks and talks and talks but if you take notes you will do fine. His pop quizzes are easy but his 2 tests can be hard being that they are an essay. I wrote 6 pages for midterm answer and got a B-------- (not kidding) then got an A on final when i wrote 10 pages for the essay answer. Got an A.

I'm not very good at History, but I did okay in this class. Just pay attention to the lectures and take notes. Names are important. I barely wrote anything for the midterm and still got a B-, just remember to write all the information you can, even if it doesn't form much of an actual essay. Just show what you learned, and know names for the quizze

He is by far the most interesting history teacher I have ever had. That being said, the class is still pretty boring but if you have to take history or are interested in it, I would recommend this teacher as long as you don't mind taking purely essay based tests.

write down what he says in class....youll get an A.

amazing teacher.. by far the most interesting teacher ive ever had.. very informative and you can tell how much he really loves what he does. very interesting stories.. about 5 pop quizzes but you usually know when there coming and 2 essay tests.. can be a tough grader but really is an entertaining guy

This teacher is pretty good. It's really hard if you don't go to class though. Pop quizes are easy as long as you pay attention to your notes. It makes the class much harder if you don't go. There are very few grade opportunities so make them count. He does let you out early sometimes, not every day though!

He is a really funny, interesting teacher. He likes to get the class involved by asking you questions, so if your shy, sit in the back. He has really easy quizzes. you do have to go to class if you want to do good, otherwise you wont know what to study for. So, hes a pretty cool guy. I recommend him, its a chill class.

The class is based on 5 pop quizzes with 20 items and you just have to briefly describe them and then the final is an essay. you have to attend class because the quizzes are unpredictable and everything on the quiz he talks about in class. he's a really funny guy and really knows his history. pay attention you'll need it for the final.

Easy class. He gives 5 quizzes throughout the semester and each quiz is 20 words which you describe in a few words. The final is 2 essays from 2 to 3 pages each on the topic you choose.

He is great. Good stories, nice professor, very helpful. The kind of professor you want for a History class. He makes it very interesting.

Very interesting and a pretty funny guy. Has interesting stories that tie into the lessons; DON'T miss a class; take notes from the overhead and from everything he says; gives 10 question quizzes on terms and names from the overhead in class; essay final. I'd recommend him completely :)

one of my favorite professors thus far, is very involved with students in his lecture and very easy quizzes if you study the powerpoint,...... he has very interesting stories that make my day , simply said, CLARK IS THE MAN!

Coolest teacher I've had so far at UCF makes class interesting and makes the three hour class fly by with funny stories. The classwork is not difficult and I opened the book once. If you are fairly smart you should pass just by paying attention. Great Teacher I wish i could take this class again

I always had trouble in history. I dreaded even talking about it. However, I sat in this class and was so intrigued! Prior to Clark, I just didn't care. His personal stories helped in every way. He's just amazing. I really don't know how old he is, because he doesn't look like it. TAKE THIS CLASS! You rock CLARK!!!

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. Dr. Clark knows so much about history and makes all of the lectures very interesting. 6, 10 term quizzes. Honestly if you study for the words for 15 minutes you get a 100 on the quiz. Fairly easy A. Very Highly recommend him.

TAKE HIM! The best teacher I have ever had! I hated history before I took this class. He makes it interesting and easy. He has the best stories that leave you thinking that they cannot possibly be true, but they're funny and help you understand. I loved his class! PS Don't buy the book, I've opened mine maybe once.

he is the best teacher. took him for amh 2020. has funny opinions and alot of interesting facts. class not mandatory but still good to go to. grade based off quizzes which are all from terms he give you

Loved having him as a teacher! 5 random pop quizzes based on terms to know that he gives you in class. Drops the lowest quiz score. No classwork, except do go to class & takes notes because a.) hes interesting & funny & b.) notes help with the final which is two essays. The more you write the better. Super nice guy. Highly recommend.

I haven't taken the exam yet but his class was relatively easy. Just go to class and study the terms to know.

Clark is a Straight up animal!

Take him! Try not to get the long night class. I hate history and got a fairly easy A and learned a lot. Just go to class and get the terms to know. Nothing else will be on the quizzes. Don't even bother taking other notes. You will hardly use the book as well. The final is all you really have to study for.

He is such a sweet man and makes the class interesting! You just need to go to class and get the terms he gives you. There are 5 random quizzes with 15 questions and you just define each term. The final is 2 essays that have to be several pages long but just know all the topics and you'll be fine. I got an A :)

Attendance is required. He gives 5 quizzes with 10 terms he gives you in class. The quizzes are random so everyone complaining missed class on a quiz. If you go to his lectures he will call you out, but you will get the easiest A at UCF.

Textbook is never required, but attendance is mandatory only due to random pop quizzes. As long as you show up to class everyday to study the terms he gives you, it's a relatively easy A or B at least.

Dr. Clark teaches class like a stand up comedy show. Grade is based on 5 pop quizzes of 10 people/places that he gives you, lowest is dropped. Final is all essays which is where you need to study your butt off. If you get A's on all the quizzes you still need a strong C on the final to get an A. It's all pretty easy stuff and a cool class.

Clark is awesome! Take him if you can. Easiest class by far. Although attendance is not mandatory, he gives 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester so you need to be there. Drops your lowest one though and the final is an essay. TAKE HIM!

Best professor at UCF. Extremely entertaining. Class is not madatory but you hav to attend to get an A in the class. Lowest test is dropped. Book is not used so so dnt waist money buying it. 5 identification test. Short answers. Take his class! It's easy, he's funny and you will learn alot!

If you ever take American History, then he is the professor for you! I LOVED his class and I always looked forward to spending 3 hours on Wednesday nights in his class. He has awesome stories to tell and you will learn a lot from him!

Very straightforward class. This semester it was 5 quizzes with 10 terms each - one quiz is dropped. The final is 2 essay questions that we could choose out of the 4 he gives us. Writing 3+ pages (not front to back by the way) pretty much gets you a good score. You must know how to write. Gordon Rule class.

By far the best Professor at UCF. Pretty much everything he says is interesting and entertaining. I would find myself going out of my way to go to his class even no matter what....loved it!!!

He is a great guy. Very good stories. Keeps the class interesting. I took his night class on Wednesday's. Have it for almost 3 hours, he makes it interesting. The quizes are unannounced. The Quize's are really easy though. If you go to class and just copy the terms he puts on the screen and just look up those, you will pass. DON'T BUY BOOK!

This guy is Hilarious. You can't lose your focus in this class. He makes students participate in his conversations. This professor is John C. Reilly's lost twin brother. Definitely a fun class to learn about the US

When you go to class, TAKE NOTES. I know it seems unnecessary because the quiz questions are given, but come time for the final, you have to just have the topics covered memorized for the essays. It's not a hard class, but just take notes the whole way through and you'll be SO happy because studying for the final will be a breeze

AWESOME professor! Makes class very interesting....lectures in a story format no boring powerpoints. Also has a great sense of humor. Take good notes and study as you go and you will get an A on every quiz and studying for the finals will be much easier. Learned so much!

Definitely an entertaining teacher who makes the three hour class bearable. Study before class for about an hour for the quizzes and you should get an A. The book is not needed but it helped me

Fascinating and incredibly intelligent man. He tells you the history you need to know, but fills in with relevant stories that make his non mandatory lectures worth the time. Five quizzes throughout the course and a written final exam for Gordon Rule credit. Quizzes are fill in the blank and the material comes from terms he puts on the board!

Took this class as a senior last spring, and it was probably the easiest class I've taken all of college. Just go to class and take notes on what he says, and study the terms for the quizzes and you'll be fine. The final is essay style, so taking notes in class is essential for that. Funny guy, easy class, and surprisingly not boring. Good Luck!

I reccommend this teacher to everyone! Super super easy class, didn't get less than one wrong on his quizzes. It's a waste of money to get the book. You do not need it. only one essay and it's the final and he tells you what the essay might be. the quizzes are pop but he does hint when they will be. study 15 mins before class and you'll get 100%

Take his class seriously and study the vocab before each class and you'll do great. He has 5 pop quizzes and a written final. My advice is, since he has a second 3 hour lecture you can attend if you have to miss a tuesday class, walk out of class before you get a quiz and go to class again on wednesday to take it then. Saved my grade a few times.

He was one of the awesomest professors i ever had. He's very entertaining, and humorous. Only 5 pop quizes that you can do well on as long as you study the lecture notes that you take in class. The final is an essay, but as long as you know the terms from throughout the year once again you will have no problem doing well. Dont buy the book.

Great teacher! He knows his stuff and throws in personal stories to make things interesting. Book is never used. All his quizzes were vocab that he gave to us, just look those up and study them and you'll ace his class. Essay for final, tells you what one of the two essays will be on and gives you hints on the other. just remember GO TO CLASS.

Easy class. To get an A in the class: Simply write down all the words on the board. Make flashcards and study one hour before each class. Easy simple A.

He made learning about Florida history interesting

James Clark is a smart and nice guy. Funny and keeps the class engaged. Makes it clear on what he expects of his students and doesn't require too much work. 5 quizzes fill in the blank and 1 is dropped with a written final. His grading scale is in favor of the students. Just study the terms and you will get As on the quizzes

TAKE HIM! Such an amazing professor and great story telling! I looked forward to attending class! Couple fill in the blank quizzed (so easy, basic historical vocab and people) and then essay final which isn't that bad

He will spend the class talking about small details of history. The only terms you need to pay attention to are the things he writes in his powerpoint. Always go to class though, because he has unannounced exams that can't be made up, but are easy and fill-in-the-blank from the powerpoint. 5 exams, drop 1, and a written final. Letter grading only.

Great professor and great teaching style. He makes U.S. History actually interesting through his story telling. It can get boring at times especially in his 2hr 50min class but copy all of the words on his power point and know the definition and you will be fine. 5 fill in the blank pop quizzes (drops lowest) and an essay final.

Great teacher and easy class! Just copy the terms from the powerpoints and study them before class.

Awesome teacher! I hated history but he made it interesting! 5 pop quizzes that are crazy easy and he drops your lowest quiz grade. Essay final. But really not a bad course to take if you need a Gordon Rule

Take some time to memorize the terms before classes for the five pop quizzes (one dropped) and you're golden. Take a few notes in class and study the terms for the essay final and you'll be fine...Easy A if you take the time to memorize!

This class is boring but an easy A. 5 fill in the blank pop quizzes (so you must go to class) he drops your lowest, and the final is an essay. no homework or need for a textbook. just write down the terms he puts on the board, and study those before class because those will show up on the quizzes. he tells you what to study for the final.

One of my favorite professors of all time! Not only because his class was very easy, but he made it interesting when I had very little interest in history to begin with. TAKE HIM. 5 fill in the blank vocab quizzes (STUDY FOR THESE) and you get to choose the essay topics for your final out of a couple of topics.

Dr. Clark is so cool. He is wise and how he runs his class is smart. The class isn't hard at all. The quizzes are fill in the blank and i can honestly say my History class in HS was way harder than this class. Im not really into history but Dr. Clark really made it interesting. I can honestly say the class was an overall joy.

What a wonderful professor! He is very passionate about the subject and adds plenty of interesting details to the standard facts required of a basic history course. It's impossible to fail if you play by his rules. Overall, a wonderful experience.

3 hour history class sounds awful, but its actually not as bad as it sounds. Write down the terms he puts on the powerpoint, study before every class for the pop quizzes and you're bound to get an A. 5 quizzes, one gets dropped and a final. The final is hand-written 3-pages per question (2). He made history interesting and get class involved!

He is an amazing history professor. Every class was like a story telling time. I absolutely enjoyed his class and would take it again if I could. I took a three hours long class, but it really not that bad! If you need a GRW course, TAKE HIM!!!! Easy A and just an amazing class!! Don't buy a textbook, you won't need it.

Easy class for GRW. Five pop quizzes. He gives you terms during each lecture. He tends to get off track but write down what he says about those terms or look them up if he doesn't talk about them and you're golden. Written final, but honestly not that hard.

Professor Clark really does know what he is talking about, and for something that wasn't interested in and didn't know much at all about American history, I feel a lot more comfortable with the topic now. He only talks about things that are important, and that is also exactly what goes on the tests. He does quizzes for attendance, so show up.

I enjoyed this class, James is a great professional and knows about his class a lot.

Do not get textbook! Class consists of 5 super easy pop quizzes and an essay final. The quizzes are very easy as long as you make flashcards of the terms he gives in class and run through them a couple times before class. Since there is pop quizzes class is mandatory. He drops 1 of the quizzes. Easy A

Clark is great. 5 pop quizzes with 14 fill-in the blank questions. Honestly, the lectures are really great. Textbook not needed, but the

Good Class, easy material, lots of bonus marks #3061

This guy is AWESOME. All of his lectures were like walking into a stand-comedy act about US History. I laughed every day in his class. He is SO FUNNY. In lectures, he is very interactive with the students. Just show up to class and you'll do fine. Even though I didn't need it, he is very flexible with his office hours. 5 Pop Quizzes. Be ready.

You don't need the textbook because all the tests are pop quizzes based on terms given in class. However, the terms aren't online and the tests aren't announced so you're basically forced to go to class. Use Quizlet to memorize the terms and you'll get an A easily because the tests are fill-in-the-blank. You get one dropped test so use it wisely.

Great lectures, tells you exactly what terms you need to know for quizes. Quizes aren't announced, but you can easily find his quizes online. As long you show up to most lectures, final is pretty easy.

Great teacher who loves his job. He gets back to emails in like five seconds. His lectures are actually entertaining. He gives five pop quizzes, but you kind of know they're coming. Would love to take another class taught by him. Study the "terms to know" before each class

This guy is awesome! He keeps his lectures very entertaining with his stories and jokes as well as keeping students engaged. There are 5 pop quizzes, which are simple as long as you study the terms he gives you. The only writing we do in class is a 6 page written final, making this an easy GRW class. Would love to take him again

He is a great professor. He gives 5 pop quizzes and an essay final. Quizzes are easy if you study his terms to know and pay attention in class. Interesting lectures, and explains every concept clearly.

Only take one test and that is the final. Homework is 33% of your grade and can be sometimes difficult because it is on things not covered in class. Interesting lectures, but he can get off topic. Just make sure you write down all the terms for quizzes, and try your best on the homework. Really cool guy, I enjoy him. Just a little disorganized.

Great teacher! All of the quizzes are pop quizzes, but you can usually guess when they'll be. The quiz answers are all terms that he provides on a power point during lecture. He's pretty funny and his lectures are interesting. He drops your lowest quiz grade and your lowest two homework grades. You can get an A if you put in a little effort.

Awesome guy and his lectures are fun. Make sure to look up his quizzes on quizlet whenever you feel one approaching, though the online hw can be rough he literally gives you at least an 8 out of 10 on every one. Final is a six page essay. Oh and his quizzes are pop quizzes but you'll get a gut feeling when ones approaching.

Fantastic and engaging professor! Gives a total of 5 pop quizzes on the terms listed in lectures. Definitely recommend taking Professor Clark's class.

There are total of 5 quizzes worth 40% of your grade, drops lowest quiz. Chapter homework online quizzes worth 45% due every week. There is a written final that accounts for 15% of the grade. He gives pop quizzes in class and they're based off the terms he goes over in lectures. His pop quizzes are on quizlet too (only some though)! Good luck :)

He gave us terms that we needed to know for the pop-quizzes. He drops 1 out of 5. His HW was from the textbook and you have 2 hrs for each one, but it never took me more than 20 minutes. His final has 4 questions and you only have to answer two. He tells you what one is going to be but you can literally BS the other one and still get 80+. Easy A!

I took Mr. Clark for my very first online college course, and I have no complaints aside from some confusing or incorrect answers to questions on assignments. However, if you email Mr. Clark about it, he will take a look at it for you and almost always raise your grade! I would say he is a super nice guy and really understanding.

Hilarious professor! Incredibly knowledgeable about history and makes it extremely interesting! Some pop quizzes, but they are easy as long as you take notes and go to class. Also he normally gives a heads up "hint" if there will be one within the next 2 classes.

Prof. Clark teaches really well, more of a talking style of notes than looking at powerpoints which is more entertaining. Pop quizes are easy if you make flashcards and go over the material every once in a while. Homework is easy and answers are usually online. Overall a great and funny prof.

Love this professor. He makes history as entertaining as possible, and his class is fairly easy. All you have to do is show up to lecture, write down the points on the board and read the textbook and yo should definitely get an A. Quizzes are super easy, and the final isn't bad at all, its a 6 page essay but gives you one of the topics prior.

James Clark is a very passionate teacher when it comes to American History. He would fill in with his own personal stories and give various tales about certain topics which are amazingly interesting. It is probably not best for those who don't like history, But for those who do, James Clark is a very good choice. Just be ready for pop quizzes.

I would totally take Professor Clark again. His lectures are interesting but long. Go to class for the 5 pop quizzes, so easy if you look at all the terms right before. He gives you a link to download a pdf of the book so don't buy it. For the essay final I chose to study the topic he gave us and wars in general and I got a 100. Take him.

Textbook work is only for online homework and lectures are only for pop-quizzes. Don't really need to read the textbook, just do the simple 10-question homework and study vocabulary words from powerpoint lectures. Not hard and a class you shouldn't really need to worry about.

Pro. Clark is an amazing lecturer! I loved going to his class because of how great they were. Had to read free online textbook each week for homework- 10 questions (due Friday's) and had 5 15 question pop quizzes related to the topics (get Quizlet!). The final exam was written, 2/4 questions to pick from with 3 page min. for each question.

Easy A. If you do all of the assignments that will guarantee you an A. Final is a 6 page essay but its easy.

If you pay attention in class and take notes, you'll be fine. He's good at explaining and the pop quizzes are fill in the blank

He is a good teacher, makes the subject interesting (even though I never liked history) and class passes by quickly. The only challenge is his pop quizzes because they are worth so much, but if you study the vocabulary then the class should really be an A.

He's an amazing professor! His lectures are so entertaining and I even find myself looking up things he talked about in class because they're so interesting. Even if you are uninterested in history he will find a way to make you interested. Easy A.

One of my favorite classes I've had at UCF. His lectures were interesting, I could sit through all 3 hours of it and stay focused the entire time. His final was easy, you just have to write a lot and keep adding details and you'll get an A. He has pop quizzes but the answers are the terms he uses in his PowerPoints. I loved this class.

Real funny guy with a love for history, and eager to share. Tells many personal stories, gets the class involved and wants everyone to pass. Weekly online quizzes are easy and his pop quizzes are also super easy as long as you write down all the keywords and individuals that he had on his slides or that he specifically mentions.

Best history class I've ever had! He makes class as interesting as possible and tries his best to keep it engaging. The quizzes are random but after the first two you can time them. The final is two essays, a minimum of 3 pages each (in class). It may sound daunting but you can study the two days before the final and you'll be fine.

An amazing professor who does go as in depth as he needs to. His quizzes are every 3 weeks and are on the terms he goes over in class. His homework is on the material within the textbook (which he gives for free!). If youre still struggling somehow, use Quizlet. Very engaging all in all, and loves an interactive class.

Great professor. His lectures were very entertaining and were not a bore. People tended to skip class but I don't recommend doing that because he gives pop quizzes at times. The key words that are gonna be on the test are on the power points in class.

He is one of the best history teachers I have ever had. He's the kind of teacher to make history interesting and fun. His class was super easy and I highly recommend taking him.

This can be an easy A class. Your grade will consist of weekly homework which is 15 questions that can usually be found on Quizlet. There are 5 unannounced pop quizzes but you can find the quiz on Quizlet and he will tell you what it' on. There is no tests or paper but the exam is writing a total of 6 pages on two questions that he will give you.

Very brief. 5 random pop quizzes, and a final exam. Homework every Sunday. Generally loves history, and wants his students to leave the course with some form of knowledge regarding it. Passionate and his lectures are interesting, time will fly by. Just take notes on the vocabulary he posts along with the topic he specified on the title page. Great.

Professor Clark is the BEST history teacher Ive ever had. His lectures are very engaging and it does benefit you going to class and listening. The answers to the quizzes are all in the powerpoints, he even makes that clear. Take him!!

Professor Clark's class is so easy if you just go to class and do all of your homework. He has pop quizzes which are usually after every three weeks and these are so easy if you go to class and memorize the definitions of the words he puts up on the board during lectures. He'll bump up your grade at the end!

He was great very straightforward easy going and funny! He cares about his students and wants everyone to do great! Pop quizzes are easy people are just lazy and dont take the time to study literally an hour before class. I did this every time and got an A on all of them. Final is a little tricky but you will get through it. Overall great class

The professor really cares of his students and the workload is manageable. The textbook is given as a pdf and the content is straightforward. Just keep up with the deadlines and you will be fine.

His lectures were very engaging and he always finds ways to make the information relevant to our today lives. Loved his class!

All HW and tests are online, he gives 5 pop quizzes throughout the semester but they arent too difficult. All his pop quiz questions come from his terms on his powerpoints in class, so if you dont show up you wont know the answers. Hes hilarious and interactive with students during class. Hes an amazing professor, overall a really easy course.

James Clark is a wonderful teacher and his online history class was a joy to take!!! Homework easy 10 questions and a fun crossword and sometimes a little essay every weekend!!! Such an easy class and good pacing!! He is the best I wish I could take him again!!!

I took this professor's class my freshman year. The lectures are useful, I would try to go especially since he does give pop quizzes during class. The homework is given online as well. The content is made to be pretty interesting during lectures.

I have had several professors over the years, but he is the best. Professor Clark provides great feedback, points out ways to change the way you write, and motivates to excel! I was able to pass his class with OVER 100% by completing all the assignments, paying attention to the readings and he gives easy points with crossword puzzles. TAKE HIM!

Professor Clarks course was the best highly recommend taking AMH2020 with him!

Great prof, funny guy, FREE text book about 300pgs of reading total, weekly quizzes (easy 10 questions), about 12 mini essays 175-225 words (these are most of grade), 2 discussions, extra credit opportunities, good feedback from prof, impossible not to get an A unless you just don't do the work, cannot say enough good things about this prof

Gives really good lectures and is interactive with the students! The homework is very easy too. The required textbook is also free online, but I rarely use it. My only advice is to please show up to his classes. He gives out terms that would show up later on the quizzes and missing out on his lectures would make it more difficult to pass.

This class was great. Dr. Clark makes his lectures fun and easygoing. He provides a free online textbook which you can use for the homework and cross puzzles. Only hard thing about this class was the pop quizzes, which he gives on his mandatory lectures. However, the answers to these are all given in previous lectures, so pay attention.

He is definitely the best teacher I have had in college so far. His class is pretty easy just show up and take notes. He literally tells you the words to study for his pop quizzes so as long as you study those you should be good. I actually wanted to go to his class and listen to his lectures by far the best history teacher ive had my whole life!

He was so great for a lecture class, didnt have to pay for a textbook (it was online on OpenStax) and everything was open note except pop quizzes. Such a nice prof

Professor Clark is great at what he does. My 1st in person class since COVID began, and I'm so glad it was. His lectures were very entertaining, and he really wanted us to get involved. Gave pop quizzes on the information given on the powerpoint, but weren't too hard if you looked the stuff over before each class. Definitely recommend him!

such an easy class to pass. as someone who doesnt like history, his lectures are very fun and interactive. he also teases on his students and tells many sarcastic jokes and interesting stories. our textbook was free, but you honesty do not need it at all. as long as you attend his class, you can easily ace it. hell tell you everything on the quiz

He really knows what he's talking about, and knows how to make almost any topic interesting. Super funny and genuine. Pop quizzes are pretty important but he will give what is mostly on it

Absolutely hilarious guy. Makes you pay attention because you want to. There are 5 pop quizzes taken straight from the terms on the lectures. Just make a Quizlet for each term on the lecture Powerpoints and you'll be fine.

Dr. Clark made me actually interested in learning about history. His lectures are interactive, he calls on students a lot , however; theyre typically opinionated answers based off of what you would do in a particular historical circumstance. Would 100% recommend him to anybody!!

No exams or lectures, just an open book quiz for each chapter. Weekly mini-essays (200ish words) were always fairly easy and he grades well. Overall the class took maybe 6 hours a week, making it a really solid summer A or B choice. I did it on top of phy 2 and diffeq, and had plenty of time. Prof Clark was very nice as well

This class wasn't too hard. He didn't post the notes online so you have to be at every class to get the information. His lectures are entertaining and engaging but it's hard to tell what you should and shouldn't write down as the powerpoints are only in bullet form with vocab. All the quizzes are pop quizzes, he never tells us when they will be.

Good easy A gen ed class. I took this online during covid last year w/ no issue. Prof seems kind w/ a sense of humor and is very approachable. Reasonable amount of reading, most assignments are quizzes and short writing prompts related to the text. EXCELLENT choice for summer semester or if you need to cram a gen ed into an otherwise busy semester.

A super great teacher in my opinion. The class was not difficult at all and the textbook was free. However you must attend class, he gives pop quizzes that are worth a good bit of your grade. The quizzes arent hard at all though, just know your stuff and pay attention to the lectures and terms. Overall 10/10 teacher would take again.

Professor Clark is definitely one of the best professors I have ever had. He is so passionate about history and it's contagious. I looked forward to every class. There are pop quizzes without a word bank, but as long as you study the words he puts on the powerpoint before class you will get a 100 on the quiz.

Dr. Clark gives entertaining lectures! Make sure that you copy down and learn all the key words he gives because they will show up on one of his pop quizzes. I felt that the chapter quizzes along the way were more self-guided, but his lectures helped me write my final (take-home by the way!) Overall pretty easy class

Dr. Clark is a great professor! Lectures were very entertaining, and as someone who doesn't like history, he made the subject very fun and interesting. Textbook is online and free. Make sure you show up for classes, as the terms on the powerpoints will be on the pop quizzes. Final was a take home essay, just 6 questions 250 words each. Take him!

I loved Dr. Clark! His lectures were great and very interactive. He gave pop quizzes on the lecture slides but they weren't too bad if you reviewed the material before class. The assignments (homework crosswords and quizzes) were based on the textbook but again not bad, and open note/book. Definitely my favorite history teacher I've ever had.

If you're going to take anything away from this review: BE AWARE OF POP QUIZZES!!!!!!! They are unannounced and are based off of the vocab slides gone over in class. I missed the first one and got a 0 and had to work extra hard to get an A (although if you're a good student it's not impossible). Get yourself a groupchat ASAP for quiz heads up.

This was by far one of the best professors I have ever had. He really tries to make the class fun and interesting, and he is really accommodating. He has a few quizzes that are random throughout the lectures, but you just have to show up and pay attention and you should be good. He was lenient and helpful and just overall a really great guy.

This class is really easy, but you should for sure join a Group Me for it. You don't need to go to class unless there's a pop quiz tbh, and with Group Me you'll be able to get a heads up when they happen and vocab will be on it. If you miss a quiz it'll be a little hard to raise your grade. The homework is easy too.

Best teacher/professor I've ever had. Would highly recommend taking him for AMH 2020. Don't need to read the textbook really. Crosswords and quizzes are easy. All the notes he gives in class will be what is on the in-person quizzes. The final exam is six mini-essays, but it is not hard.

Take his online course if you can. You get a maximum of 3 assignments per week which include the quiz, crossword puzzle, and discussion post or mini-essay. He encourages you to look in the textbook or online to find your answers. The mini-essays are around 200 words and are pretty easy. He has a great sense of humor and wants to see you pass.

Clearly loves to teach and so kind. Crosswords due weekly. He randomly will do a pop quiz at the end of class so know the terms he gives during the lecture. Also if you cant show up to class for whatever reason he has other class times you can attend. Overall super easy and recommend him as a professor. Final exam is a paper based on your opinion.

Amazing and funny guy! His lectures were interactive and funny, made what is normally a boring class very interesting and fun. Pop quizzes are everything, so if you do not go to class you will not pass at all. Homeworks were easy and lets you make up missed assignments. Only negative is his feedback on your final and quizzes is lackluster.

Dr. Clark is a very funny professor who genuinely cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but the class is based on the lecture. The pop quizzes were actually pretty tough given I took APUSH, but the final (an essay, btw) was a piece of cake in comparison.

Dr. Clark is a very funny professor who genuinely cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but his class is based on the lecture. His pop quizzes were pretty tough given I took APUSH, but the final (an essay!) was a piece of cake in comparison. I loved when he made up little stories and asked us what we'd do if we were in x situation.

He knows very deeply about his field, he cares very deeply about his field, yet he completely understand that most will just take this class as a general credit. Very engaging and funny Professor. Strongly recommend!

Very nice and understanding professor, i dont like history but he did make the class interesting, just beware of pop quizzes which are not that hard if you just pay attention in class

Dr. Clark made history really fun. He has so many stories and his lectures are amazing.

Extremely understanding and caring, his lectures might not be what you usually expect but it's pretty interesting. Easy homework/online quizzes every week or so. Has some pop quizzes based on a wordbank he'll show in class, I got by with a 70 on the pop quizzes without studying and still managed to get an A overall. Final essay isn't too hard.

Prof. Clark is an amazing lecturer. He makes learning history very engaging and interesting. Easy homework assignments that can help boost grades. Pop quizzes are extremely easy if you pay attention to the lectures. All questions on the pop quizzes are explained in the lectures.

This class is so easy but if you don't attend lectures, you'll fail the pop quizzes. The pop quizzes are based on definitions you learn in class, so it's best to not skip class. You can also average a 60 on the pop quizzes and still get an A overall. The textbook is free. You have 10 questions and a crossword due every week, easy grade boost.

This is the nicest professor I have ever come across. The textbook is free! All the homework and quiz materials come from the online textbook that is provided. He does give surprise tests, so make sure to attend class all the time so you do not miss a test. His lectures are very interesting and student inclusive!

This class was a lot of fun for me. He calls on people a lot but the questions tend to be about what you would do in this situation rather than having to recite facts. He's also really funny and makes the material interesting to learn about- even if you already know it! Pop quizzes are easy just make sure you attend class so you know the answers!

Professor Clark is awesome! I would love to take him again. I earned a B because I missed one of the pop quizzes, I averaged C on the others. Even with that, I was still able to end with a B in the course. Attendance is mandatory only because of the pop quizzes, however it is relatively easy to guess when they'll be. Easy class, Easy professor!

He's a very funny professor and it's worth showing up to class. He gives surprise quizzes which aren't hard if you do the homework (which again isn't hard) and you write down from the powerpoints. The powerpoints are not posted online so make friends who show up. Make up classes are available if you miss a day. He doesn't check attendance.

Really funny guy. Attendence isn't graded, but powerpoints are not available online and there are several pop quizzes. Lectures are fun to attend and he likes student participation and will ask questions. Homework is easy and all open notes plus crosswords. Also no writing assignments except final.

he was a good professor but he doesn't tell you when the quizzes are, so even though attendance isn't mandatory u need to go to class in order to take the quiz (which are easy fill in the blank) because you can't retake them.

Professor Clark is extremely funny; my lecture was at 9 am and I was -dare I say- excited to show up because of that. His grading criteria is very direct; crossword and quiz every week. Final exam is 6 short essays. The pop quizzes count for 35% of your final grade, but it's really not difficult to memorize the key terms he gives. Highly recommend.

Dr. Clark is great. It's obvious he really loves history and his job. He's very knowledgeable and tells a bunch of personal anecdotes, which is very interesting. He gives 5 pop quizzes, which are easy if you know the vocab terms. He's very lenient with attendance, except with the quizzes, which can't be retaken. Would highly recommend Dr. Clark.

go to every lecture and make quizlets of the words on the powerpoints! pop quizzes are worth majority of your grade so start studying early and you'll get an A in the class. exam was take home and pretty easy. lectures were funny and he engaged with his students and got some good laughs. really great at answering emails. free online textbook

Absolutely not a history buff, but this was my favourite class of the semester. He's funny and a good speaker. One 10 question quiz, one crossword per week, 5 fill-in-the-blank pop quizzes (answers are vocabulary he shows only during lecture). He had two different classes so if I missed one, I could attend the other. Got a 98% out of 106%

Professor Clark is super funny and easygoing, he makes the 3-hour lectures fly by. If you enroll in his class, expect a fun time. His final his pretty easy and the assignments are simple as long as you attended lecture.

5 pop quizzes that are fill-in-the-blank based on vocab from lectures. Show up to class to get the vocab for the quizzes they are given at the end of random lectures. Gives interesting lectures, doesn't just read from the book/power points. Homework is a short chapter quiz from the textbook and a crossword, very easy. Final is 6 250 word essays.

Overall a delightful class and an easy A. Attend the lecture and you'll succeed. There are unannounced quizzes on the key words you're given in the lecture, just make a quizlet and study them. You can easily get 100 on all the quizzes. Final is a 6 question paper, takes some time but not difficult. Lectures were engaging and not boring, but long.

Took this course over the Summer B semester. There was a pop quiz every week, however, if you go to class and pay attention to the lecture you will pass. Participation matters, Prof. Clark will call on students in lectures to participate. Amazing lecturer! History is not my strong subject and Prof. Clark made this class very interesting.

Amazing professor who keeps students engaged. Expect to be called on, but he will never put you on the spot to answer obscure questions, you will know the answer, most of the time it's just common sense or your gut response. Very good sense of humor, clear grading criteria.

Dr. Clark is such an amazing professor! Even if you don't like history, you will certainly love his class if you take him. He does give 5 pop quizzes over the course of the semester, but he always puts a list of terms up on the slides. The only exam is the final which you have 2 and half hours to take.

This class was very simple with a weekly open-note quiz and a crossword assignment. Every few weeks there would be a short essay due as well. My only problem with the essays is that I wished he'd give a higher word count. He would always give a very in depth prompt, but the word count was always 250-300, and I always went over.

I'm really glad I'm done with this class. It's a very easy class, but very long and boring. However, make sure to attend class as he gives random pop quizzes that covers the terms he went over in his lecture. He's very interactive, and picks on people to answer questions. Homework due every Sunday, that consists of a crossword+10 questions.

Amazing professor but he graded a little too hard on the essays.

Great professor. History is not my strong suit, but with his lectures he makes it make more interesting by connecting it back to how it effects us today and lots of jokes. He includes students in his lectures asking what would they do in certain hypothetical situations. It really gets you to think about what people were thinking at the time.

I took this class in Summer B session. I really liked his style of teaching. He is a great storyteller and teaches through talking rather than just reading from the textbook which I enjoyed. He wants his students to succeed, you just have to ask for help if you need it. Definitely recommend !

Best history teacher I've ever had. He's not boring and keeps you engaged by giving you hypotheticals that are usually really funny. Homework is easy. There are a few pop quizzes but they're honestly not bad, fill in the blank. He makes everything really easy to understand. 10/10 recommend, especially if you're not a history person like me.

Dr. Clark gives 5 pop quizzes. If you don't go to class or don't pay attention, you will fail the quizzes. This is what happened to me in the first 2 quizzes. The quizzes are fill-in-the-blank and are not open notes. To study for it, write down the terms on the PPT and check Quizlet to memorize the terms. The final consists of 6 mini-essays.

Absolutely amazing professor. 5 pop quizzes and the lowest is dropped. About 30 minutes of homework a week. the final is a 1400-word essay he grades it pretty hard but the class is super easy to ace so the final should have no effect. Originally I was scared of a 3 hour long class but it flew by as the class felt like a comedy night.

Hands down funniest professor I've ever had. He just tells us hist stories in a funny way. Take notes on the terms; they are on the 5 pop quizzes (4 graded). Final exam is 6 take home mini (300 words) essays. Pop quizzes are fill in the blank, study the terms before class and you'll do ok. Class average was low so he made the last 2 quizzes easy.

Only hard part is a few pop quizzes, but if you pay attention they aren't too bad.

5 pop quizzes in class with 1 drop, weekly quiz on textbook and crossword homework, final exam was take home mini "essays" graded quickly. very engaging lectures and always cracking jokes, trying to relate and be relevant to current world topics. he walks around the class and calls on people asking what theyd do in certain scenarios, funny guy

Get ready to roleplay with an old man. Most entertaining history professor UCF has to offer. Attendance isn't mandatory but there is a pop quiz every other week or so(lowest dropped). Homework every week but it's real easy if you go to class and occasionally read. Bare bones powerpoint so be ready to listen. Free textbook!!! Truly an amazing guy.

Easily the greatest lecturer I have ever had the honor of sitting in class for. Go to every class if possible, as there are five quizzes (lowest dropped) that are simply fill in the blank questions asking for names and events discussed heavily in class. 1 hr hw/week maximum and take home 6 mini-essay final exam. Can't recommend Dr. Clark enough.

Funniest ever. Dont skip class, but quizzes are usually separated minus the last two. You dont need to study hard but study like 15 mins before each class (got 3 100s doing that), lots of pre made quizlets if you look. He comes off as really mean but hes really not. Has great opinions and relates history to modern day. Super smart and realistic

Clark is a very interesting guy. He makes class quite funny, but some of the stories he tells make him seem a little crazy. I took this during Summer B, so each class was very long, but it passed since it made it entertaining. The class itself was quite easy - The Homework took no more than 30 minutes, and the quizzes weren't that bad. Take him.

Professor Clark is one of the most entertaining history lecturers around. Attend class, take notes, and use resources like UnstuckStudy AI along with the free textbook to ace the quizzes and final. Entertaining yet manageable workload.

funny professor, the lectures go into very specific details of events but some of them you didnt actually need to know for the quiz. attendance was not mandatory but we had 4 pop quizzes total so if you dont show up to class then you miss it. i would take another course with him again, even though im bad at history. easy weekly readings.

Amazing and engaging lectures, he walks around the room and involves students in scenarios that help you learn the subject. Sometimes I feel the conversations are off topic and not important but overall a super amazing professor. There are pop quizzes but aren't hard if you studied or paid attention.

Great professor. I usually don't like history classes but he makes it enjoyable. Lot's of talking so pay attention. Use the slideshow key words and write down what will make you remember those words and you will be fine for pop quizzes. Show up to every class, random pop quizzes will kill your grade!

Professor Clark makes each and everyone of his lectures fun. Though he doesn't grade attendance if you do not go to the lectures you will not pass the class because he does not post his slides or record himself. The assignments take about an hour a week to do and are pretty easy.

Took his 6pm-9pm class, which was really 6-8:30, and his lectures made sure you'd stay awake with the amount of wacky things he'd say. Five pop quizzes throughout the semester, drops the lowest one, and they're really easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures. Homework is a short multiple-choice quiz and a crossword puzzle. Amazing class.

Amazing professor, with really entertaining lectures and the work is really easy.

Amazing teacher, his lectures never failed to entertain the class and he is the first person to make American history interesting for me. Very interactive and funny. One thing to note is to be prepared for pop quizzes, as long as you take the time to review before class the terms on the power point and take notes you'll be fine!

This class was easy, other than the pop quizzes. They're fill in the blank with no word bank. You have to go to his class because the terms on the pop quizzes were on the slides during class, and he wouldn't post the slides. The lowest quiz grade gets dropped, and the final exam is 6 mini essays, about 300 words each.

If you are looking for an easy GEP class this is it. The homework and crosswords are very straight forward. There are 5 Quizzes at random that you MUST take (hence the mandatory attendance. If you miss more than one quiz it will tank your grade. I took a 3 hour lecture and did not find it to be dreadful. I would take him again if I could.

Professor Clark's lectures are very engaging and entertaining to be a part of! He does vocabulary-based pop quizzes without a word bank, so just be sure to study the terms he puts up on the projector and you'll fly by just fine. He's a very humorous guy and will always take the time to talk with you about history :)

Great guy and interesting professor, made history fun. Not afraid to give his opinion and asks the class to do the same. I saw a previous rating that said, "get ready to role play with a professor" or something along those lines.....this is true. He made a 6-850pm class great!

The lectures are informative whilst being entertaining at the same time. Makes sure people are keeping up by calling on them, but it's never actually serious. VERY minimal slides, so it's better to just listen along and take notes on what he's saying, as it's what shows up on the pop quizzes. The final are 6 super easy mini essays.

Very good lectures! I have 0 attention span and he managed to make a 3 hour lecture entertaining every week. Goes beyond the material a lot- though usually in a good interesting way. In class quizzes were very hard, though with easy homework and a very generous final you'll survive. Definitely would take again, even though I suck at history classes

Very entertaining lectures, keeps the class engaged by creating scenarios and asking questions to students. Pop quizzes based only on the words on the slides, fill in the blank style. Weekly crosswords and short quizzes based only on the textbook. Final is 6 300 word essays that you have 2 weeks to do. Take this class, you wont regret it!!!

super chill and easy prof, the pop quizzes were kinda annoying but at some point he just started telling us when he was gonna give them so i was able to skip class lol. one time i asked him to re open an assignment bc i forgot to do it and he just let me. really nice. good lectures but sometimes boring. easy material. textbook is free too

Funny, interesting lectures. Fun student participation. Learned a lot. Free textbook, reading is fairly easy if you plan/space it out comfortably. Homework based off readings. Pop quizzes based off vocabulary terms in lectures. Only one writing assignment (final exam). Overall delight! I would highly recommend! :-)

I loved Professor Clark! He grades very generously, and he is super fun to be in class with. He does have 5 pop quizzes a semester so you should go to class, he drops the lowest one though so if you miss one it isn't the end of the world. Just for the pop quizzes do quizlets for AMH2000 and you will be good. He is super funny love him!

Great professor. He's a funny guy and the weekly assignments are pretty straightforward. Only thing to worry about is the pop quizzes, which make up a big part of your grade.

Lectures were hilarious and he keeps you engaged. very easy to skip lectures BUT there are pop quizzes every few weeks based off vocab terms he'll put on the board, and if you have no way to get those words without going to class then you will not do good in this class. he drops the lowest pop quiz grade though. all in all great professor!

Professor Clark is great! His lectures are fun and easy to follow. Attendance isn't required, but pop quiz terms are only shown in class slides—so don't skip too often. He's super straightforward and very understanding.

he's funny and although lectures get a bit off-track, they're not completely boring, especially it being history

James Clark is a comedian. He is a fantastically hilarious professor who loves his subject and understands you probably dont. If you spend 5 minutes on a crossword puzzle and dont skip, you will pass. About the quizzes: They are fill-in-the-blank with no word bank. Be ready to memorize, but never any gotchas or anything not discussed Rest In Peace

Professor Clark was one of the first professors I ever had in college. As a senior now, the recent news of his passing is so upsetting to many. He cared so deeply about sharing his knowledge and led an incredible career spanning decades. RIP Mr.Clark

Took American history with him back in freshman year. He was awesome, super funny, and easy to understand. A great class and an even better instructor. RIP Prof. Clark.

RIP Professor Clark

RIP Professor Clark, one of the best professors out there :(

I am in Professor Clarks class right now. Hands down my favorite professor. Made my 6:00-8:50 PM as enjoyable as possible. He will be missed greatly by our class. May he rest in peace. My heart goes out to his family and son I knew he had. If you are reading this, he always spoke very highly of you!

First off, Rest in Peace Prof. Clark. For the small amount of time I've got to know him this semester, it's clear that he cares about every single one of his students. He'd always joke with my friend and I who sat close up. I can't believe I won't be able to see him every Wednesday anymore. I hope he's in a better place now.

Rest in peace Mr. Clark. Hands down the best professor UCF had. I hope he knows how many hearts he touched, and my condolences to the family.

Amazing professor - RIP.

Amazing History Professor, his lectures were always so funny and entertaining. You could really tell he was passionate about everything he covered. Rest in peace Professor Clark!

He was one of the greatest professors I ever had, he had such funny stories from his own experiences, his lectures were never once boring even though they were three hours long! Rest in peace Professor Clark.

Professor Clark was hands down my favorite professor and one of my favorite instructors I've ever had. His ability to use the class in different scenarios in order to make you actually think about history was my favorite part of his class. Truly one of the best professors at UCF, Rest In Peace.
