Dr. Joel Webb is an excellent professor. His lectures are easy to follow and give lots of information that correspond with the textbook that you will use for the class. Dr. Webb provides plenty of resources that will help you make an A on the midterm and final. Dr. Webb also provides easy quizzes that will help bring up your grade if you need it.

Great Guy just go to every lecture and take notes, and you will get an A. There are no tests or reading, just lecture. He gives easy quizzes on internet articles you read ahead of time. Midterm was a word bank of terms to define and one short answer. However, you can only miss 3 classes or you start to lose points. He really seems to care.

This is a very easy A. We have had no homework whatsoever except for one very short (500-800) word book report and 2 tests the entire semester (midterm and final). His quizzes (4) are common sense and you can schedule them on your own time. He does take off points after you exceed 3 missed absences but just 1% point for each absence. My only A.

Tests are easy. Good lectures. They're long but if you pay attention they're interesting and he does a good job explaining. Also SI sessions help you sooo much. Best teacher for this course.

Hidden Gem. You either love him or hate him. Only 2 tests (midterm and final) so if you don't study, thats on you. I didn't even take notes and just defined the terms he gave us for the midterm using quizlet and I made an A. Lectures put you to sleep, but if I didn't have it at 8am it wouldn't be that bad. I would take him!

He's a great professor only problems I had was the fact there are only two tests and his voice is very easy to fall asleep to.

Very Few Grades. Gives Study Guides for the midterm and Final. Book review over the course of the semester out of class. Lectures are pretty boring but I haventt taken notes and just studied the study guides and have a high B. Four quizzes outside of class that are all really easy. One of them just asked you if you read. Recommend taking this guy.

Very easy class even though lectures are boring. Theres only a midterm, final, and book report. The midterm and final are easy because he gives you exactly what to study. There's also 4 quizzes taken in the testing center that are super easy that everyone gets a 100 on. They do take attendance though

He was a very good teacher super passionate about the subject. Dont listen to what the other reviews are saying there were only 4 quizzes and were extremely extremely easy. I read the material an hour before every time. The book review is also extremely easy. Reading the whole book is not needed. You do have to attend class but it is not bad.

Webb was the best class ever. He lectures every day, but if you listen and take notes you will definitely pass. Attendance is mandatory but the class is enjoyable. I received a 101% on the midterm and 99% on the final... super easy, just study a few days before. He lines it out for you. There's one book review and 4 quizzes that are easy A's.

Only given 2 tests during the semester, so you must do well. Gave 4 quizzes that had to be taken across campus. Gives a book report that is due at the end of the semester. Attendace is mandatory everyday with assigned seats

Lectures contain a lot of information. If you write down as much as you can, you'll do great on the tests. As of Spring of 2020, there are easy "reading" quizzes each week that requires almost no effort. Two tests: midterm and final. Tests are all multiple choice and true/false. I recommend taking his class as he makes the material interesting

Professor Webb is a great lecturer. None of the slides have words so keep up! He does have key terms to the side. Most of the grades came from LearningCurve so its not hard to pass this class. Only had a midterm and a final but they are not worth much. Attendance IS required but allows 5 free absences. Overall great class just dont take it at 8am

His lectures are very interesting to listen to. Take good notes and study well because there is only two tests. I had him during COVID19 and his lectures were still understandable. An online textbook quiz almost every week and one Extra Credit opportunity was given.

I love Dr. Webb. Took him as my first history professor first semester freshmen year. I believe it was his first year at Auburn too. That was when his class was lectures and two written exams. Got As on both. Took him again second sems for 1020 loved him even more. Lectures & Test got changed to MC and there were learning curve quizzes. LOVE HIM!

He is a littler boring but really easy. As long as you show up enough not to get an FA and study for the two tests, you will do fine. He gives extra credit and most of the grade is participation quizzes

If you like lectures, you'll like this course. If you don't, you may struggle. His lectures are all tightly organized by themes for each week. He can get a little detailed on some things, but most of the time he's very entertaining. His tests are pretty easy; and nearly half of the grade is simple book quizzes.

I loved having Joel as a professor, I genuinely hate history but he made me love his class. His lectures are very organized and planned out but he keeps things interesting. Class isn't hard and about half of your grade is based on homework.

He allowed me to take the class completely virtually due to COVID concerns so he cares a lot. Just a midterm and a final and both were open note. Super easy class. Keep up with the learning curve quizzes (for completion).

Really good professor, if you show up and take notes it is not difficult whatsoever. He really cares about the material.

Basically 2 Tests which count for a big part of the grade and Learning Curve quizzes every week make up your entire grade. Not super hard. Lectures are more big picture ideas, and the quizzes cover the more specific events. You NEED the learning curve quizzes to pass the tests. Lectures are optional but he throws in some questions from them.

The class is graded based on two tests and LearningCurve Quizzes. The LearningCurve Quizzes are a large part of the grade and are very easy (They just take a while to do) but he only assigns one a week. The test are relatively easy as long as you pay attention in class. Very good class.

His class is not hard. Just go to class and take notes and you will be fine. I barely did either of those things and I was fine. Very nice and responds to you fast.

This class is not difficult whatsoever, just make sure you listen! He has two things he grades by: LearningCurve quizzes and two tests. If you don't take notes or read the book, you'll find the tests to be hard, no doubt. As long as you do those two things (and attend class for bonus points), an A is in the bag.

This class was a piece of cake. Don't miss class, take lots of notes, pay attention during his lectures, and you will receive an A. There were only two tests in the class. If you take notes during his lecture then you'll ace it; however, if you do not take notes, you'll probably find the tests to be difficult. He also had extra credit.

Dr. Webb is very knowledgeable and passionate about his field. His lectures made History interesting and easy to understand, even for a business student like me who doesn't usually enjoy History. The only grades were the Midterm, Final, and participation quizzes due every week. I definitely recommend his class to anyone taking core world history.

This class is super boring, but totally worth it. He makes you go to class everyday (he will fail you if you miss 8 classes). I didn't listen to a single lecture and just googled all the answers to the study guide. The study guide is a list of 25ish terms and the test is the exact same but you can pick like 10 of the terms to write about.

Great teacher, really tries to make it as easy as possible for the students. If you are a bad test taker like myself, this is a good choice because he tries to make it as easy as possible for students. Definitely recommend, just show up and take notes and you are good. The Learning Curve quizzes are a very easy way to boost your grade after tests.

Take his class for core history! You are allowed to miss class 8 times with no consequences. Exams are open note. Most of your grade is from a learning curve quiz each week, which is an easy 100. His lectures are boring but you can do other homework in class and still do very well on exams if you read the textbook and take notes.

Homework is easy with the textbook and he gives 8 freebie absences. His exams are pretty difficult but its only a midterm and final so if you don't do great on them your homework will keep your grade up. His lectures are extremely boring though and he assigns seats so if you don't sit up front bring your laptop and work on other classes or Netflix.

The best history class you can take. Lectures might be boring but you really don't need to take notes. Learning curve quizzes as long as you do you always get a 100 and the midterm and final are just like the learning curve quizzes. Honestly so easy. Everyone with any other professor wishes they took Webb.

The class is super simple the tests and homework are the same if you looking for easy history credits this is your guy

Webb's class is very easy if you show up and do the work. The test is open notes and the Learning Curve quizzes each week are based on completion. Would recommend taking him if you have a demanding semester. Easy GPA boost.

Joel Webb is probably one of my favorite professors that I've had in my college career yet. He presents his lectures very straightforward and includes about 75% of what will be on the exam. You do need to just read through the chapters (takes 20m tops) but it's all there. No dates, just concepts. Just show up and do the work and you'll be fine.

Honestly, his classes were boring but this is quite literally the easiest class I have ever taken. You just have to go to class and take notes. Graded on a midterm and a final and quizzes each week. I would for sure take this class!

Overall very easy class. If you enjoy history, you will enjoy the lectures. Show up to class and take notes and you will do fine. Midterm and final are pretty easy. He is not out to trick you, he genuinely wants his students to succeed. Highly recommend going to SI sessions if offered. Would definitely take Webb again! 10/10 recommend

His class is a lecture style class and you take notes on what he presents. The midterm and final are very important and will make or break your grade since they together are 70% of your overall grade. You also will fail the class if you accumulate 8 or more absences.

I personally hate history. It's my least favorite course. But thanks to Professor Webb, I happen to have a good memory of history. If you want an easy A TAKE THIS CLASS with WEBB. You are only graded on syllabus, quizzes(completion), midterm, and final. Lectures can be boring but take good notes! You'll need it!

Joel Webb has the most boring lectures you will ever attend, man does not teach he brags about his knowledge on the subject at hand. I promise you can at least make a B by never going to class, but sadly attendance is mandatory I missed probably 15 classes but only counted for 5 absences. Use this class as a study hall.

Professor Webb is a great teacher. You only have a midterm, a final (that isnt cumulative), and a small amount of homework that is very straight forward. Just make sure you do every assignment (which isnt a lot) and you will get a get at least a B, study for the 2 tests and youll prob get an A. He cares a lot about the subject and his students.

I met him during a meeting at the beginning of the year and he was just great. He is such a good person and really tries to make everything fun. My class had 8 ABSENCES total (which was great) The work is all online and I would suggest taking notes and taking pictures of the slides.

After being assigned a seat (small accommodations available), your attendance IS mandatory and will be taken. Professor Webb only uses key-words on PowerPoints, so you will have to listen closely. Otherwise, the assignments are easy. Just make sure you read the book before any tests, you'll be fine!

Overall, this guy is an amazing professor. It's super easy to ace this class as long as you attend class and take notes. He let us use our notes on the tests, which made them super easy. There is only a midterm and a final, plus a couple of quizzes per week (which are literally just completion grades). Super easy class! Highly recommend!

Pretty easy class, only two exams and many quizzes that only count for completion. I won't lie, SOME of his lectures can be very boring but most of them are super interesting if you just pay attention. He doesn't use an actual powerpoint to teach, he uses key terms so you actually have to listen to what he says in order to have good notes.

Webb is a great teacher and goes into other parts of history you may not have heard about. He likes to tie in foreign movie clips into his lecture which is pretty fun. The grade is mostly the weekly learning quizzes through the online text book which take about 10-15 minutes to complete. It is an interesting class taught by an interesting man.

Dr. Webb is great, you only have a midterm and final for exams in this class. Other than that you do about one online quiz each week, that you can use notes on. Exams and quizzes are taken outside of class. You also get 8 absences for the course, if you miss more than 8 classes you fail.

Everyone complains about this guy but I loved him. I don't care what everyone says, you will do just fine on the midterm and final with Google. I literally show up to class and go on my phone the entire time. I have no idea what we've been doing in class since January. But am i going to get above a 90 on my final? You betcha.

He is a great professor. Read the syllabus at the beginning and you will be fine. Only a mid term and final but you have learning curve quizzes every week. If you do all the learning curve quizzes and don't fail the midterm or final you will get an A.

Webb's lectures are boring but mandatory (you get 8 absences whether excused or unexcused). I recommend taking notes because that is all that you will have to study and then the lecture goes by 10x faster! He is a nice guy, but he does talk kind of fast, so I prefer to type the notes. This is an easy class if you do well on the tests! TAKE NOTES!

The tests are online and based on the lectures. Attendance is mandatory and lots of homework. Homework is easy but important. Missed one homework and it changed my grade from an A to a B.

Had him for 1010 and 1020. The class is extremely easy if you show up to the lectures and take notes. 40% of the grade is give me points (5% for the syllabus quiz and 35% for learning curve quizzes that you can take until you get a 100). Midterm and final are online open book. Attendance is mandatory and will fail you if you miss too much.

Take this class!! Professor Webb is a great lecturer- very interesting, occasional videos in lectures, easy to follow. Lectures give a great cover of history and are never biased. Easy assignments, midterm and final are multiple choice with open notes. Can have 8 absences from class, but after 8 you fail; don't skip class and you'll get an A.

He's the best! Go to class and take notes and you'll be good!

Super easy class if you show up to class and take notes. Open book and note exams; however, must take in-depth notes to make a good grade. Answers can not be googled, so do not assume that!!!

Webb is a great professor! You can tell that he is really passionate about what he teaches. Attendance is mandatory. There are weekly quizzes that are a completion grade and there are only two tests in the class that are non-cumulative (and you are able to use your notes on them so they are super easy!). Highly recommend him for history!!

Lectures were pretty boring but if you take really good notes, you'll do good on the exams. I really liked Dr. Webb. He made history somewhat interesting but you do have to pay attention in class and be ready to handwrite notes. Exams were easy for me because they were open note and not proctored on Canvas. Take him if you can!

He was a really fun lecteror for a subject that can sometimes be boring. Also, he is available outside of class if you need help.

One of my favorite professors! Helps make history interesting. Mandatory attendance, but allows 8 absences with no penalty. Do your best to participate in group conversations

Pros: Excellent professor. Really made the topic interesting each day. Seems very enthusiastic about the material. Not very difficult if you keep up with the work. Cons: Lots of reading. Lots of classroom discussion.

Great lecturer! Made the course interesting! Only problem was too that few students came to the class ready to discuss the readings. If more did that, it would be a better experience.

I really didn't want to take this class. But Dr. Webb made it very enjoyable. There is a lot of reading and a good number of assignments to keep up with. However, with just a little effort one could easily get a good grade. Only warning: don't start slacking off early. It's hard to come back from that in this class.

Webb is really nice. This class is reading heavy, but from what I can tell Webb assigns less readings than others. Doing the bare minimum in this class will get you a B. Take decent notes in lecture and you'll be fine. Midterm and final are super easy, the study guide is literally exactly what will be on the final.
