Good professor. He really knows what he is talking about and wants his students to do well. I like that there is a lot of variety. We do something different each class. Tough grader though.

It was a somewhat interesting class and we covered a lot in one semester. There is a lot of reading in the class we usally averaged 50 pages of reading for the next class. Quiz are picky details, but tests are take-home essays that are easy A's

He is always willing to answer your questions. He doesn't give anything higher then an A- on papers and they have to be dynamite. His quizzes are easy as long as you have read..which you do alot.No exams. Only take home essays.

We love John. If he wore is red high-top converse to class. But seriously, he is a great professor and knows his stuff.

Prof. Camp is a very good prof. He expects good work and class participation, and he puts a lot of work into his class too. One of my favorite professors!

Great professor. One of my favorites. Extremely interesting and fair. Requires alot of work, always nice, and willing to listen. Compassionate too. Highly recommended if you love hist. Not if you don't.

Loved this class and learned a lot. If you do quality work, you'll earn a good grade.

Campbell is not as bad as people think. NO TESTS! Lots of reading (but dont always have to read). pop quizzes in the beginning so read for the first month EVERYTHING. you can write easy papers to make up for bad quizzes. take home papers and midterm/final (partner). go to class to be on his good side. go to class for a C. B if u try. hard A

Ok, honestly, I do not remember getting better than an A- on a paper, mostly Bs, and I ended up w/an A in the class, because I talked once in a while. Take this class and be prepared to read a lot, everyday, but it is worth it. He occasionally shows up late.

Talk in class, you'll need the points. Papers are easy and short, as long as you actually put effort into it. Oh, and bring your book or he kicks you out. He sounds tough, but it's only because he seriously cares that students learn something.

Good class. He gives very good very clear lectures, with lots of comfortable places for people to comment. No major tests, which is always nice.

Great teacher.

He is definatly a hard grader but he knows his stuff! There is a ton of reading and a few papers, but no big tests. Just speak up in class every once in a while and put some effort into your papers, and you should be fine :-)

haven't had a good history prof yet so i wasn't too surprised. kind of a prick, one of those guys that refuses laptops. Lotta reading/ 4 complete books. Often times around 100 pgs between t/th class. I did learn A LOT though in all fairness. Pop quizzes all the time so just plan on them. Only two tests though (take home) Not a bad class overall.

Very nice and increadably knowledgable. He gets a bad wrap because it expects students to read and participate but honestly, we are in college, it should be that hard. No tests, just take home papers and tons of extra credit oppertunities. Show up, read, follow assignment instructions and participate in class and you will get an A easily.

very helpful if you ask, must attend class which is kinda fun, not a bad guy just has a bad rap, remember to bring your books to class otherwise you will get kicked out but he does let you share the books with other kids in the class other than that i recommend the class

Completely average. I enjoyed the lectures. Just a lot of reading. The way he wants essays done are completely tedious. I end up spending more time trying to figure out how he wants the paper done than working on the papers. He's super hands on and specific. But, I learned a lot. And as a history major, that's the most important. Recommend.

easy. gives reading everynight but if you don't read its okay because you have group disc. the next day.his quizzes are hard but he never gives test not even for the final. gives papers but for a majority of them you can work with a partner If you dont bring your book to class he'll kick you out but he does it in a nice way! I recomend him!

Fairly monotonous. He really does want students to experience success and grades accordingly. Tough grading but if you read the required reading the class is a breeze and enjoyable

Campbell is a very solid professor. Some people don't like him because you actually have to read to succeed in the class, but it isn't too bad. Grade is based on papers, attendance, and quizzes. He is a good lecturer and a decently tough grader.

He is a great professor, and I would recommend him. You do have to do a fair amount or reading outside of class and you have to participate in class. He is always very respectful and knowledgeable.

Professor Campbell is not easy, but college shouldn't be. You have to bring your book to class everyday and do the reading. His quizzes are hard but they are always based on the reading guide;which you get for each reading. If you don't want to work don't take his class.30% of your grade is attendance and there are no tests, just papers and quizzes

I'm almost certain any history major will love this class. If you are another major and take this for the cultural aspect, that is good, yet remember history is mostly reading and analyzing. Professor Campbell is a highly knowledgeable and responsive person. Don't be afraid to speak up in class but don't try to BS participation points.

I really have enjoyed Campbell as a professor for a couple different classes and he has inspired my major decision. A lot of people complain about him, but if they complain it is because they are too lazy to do any work reading- not because Campbell is unreasonable because that's not true.

Really nice guy that will teach you a lot if you give the class a chance. Gives you A LOT of reading but do it and you will do fine on quizzes. I have learned more from this class than any other class I have taken. Really insightful knowledge. He is a tough grader. It helps if you are a good writer. No tests, just papers. 25% of grade is attendance

Good professor overall. Expects a lot for a 100 level course. SO much reading! Participate in class or your grade will reflect upon it. Very passionate about history which makes his class a lot better. He's willing to answer any questions to help you succeed.

A lot of reading but he gives you a question guide, answer those questions and you'll do fine on the pop quizzes. If you do bad there is extra credit. He is an adorable old man that is a real joy to learn from, he is very passionate about history. Beware of the papers though, heavily graded on grammar, run it through grammarly first.

He is someone who expects a lot out of you. You basically have to read something for every class so expect that. If he assigns a textbook, you are going to need it for sure. You really only had 3 big things you had to do in the class, the midterm and final were 2 papers & a group project. Participation and attendance are a big deal as well.

I enjoyed him, however, I consider myself to be a strong writer so my perception may be a bit skewed. Overall, I found his Research Methods class to be fairly interesting.

He knows his stuff, I learned much from him. Left the class feeling very guilty about how the Native Americans were and still are treated.

I looked forward to John's classes, he wasn't a bad history teacher. The paper grades are very strict, but he tells you exactly what to avoid. Many in-class discussions, he gives you questions to prepare. If you said something wrong, he was very respectful and will help you find the right answer. Show up, participate a bit, and you'll do fine.

Professor Campbells lectures are very good and well informed. He know what he is talking about and will answer your questions in depth. However, he has really bad hand writing and his feedback on your papers is very unclear. He also is a stickler for grading papers and will either give an A, C, or F. Make sure you do the reading bc of his quizzes.

This class was not very difficult at all. Professor Campbell seems tough but once you get to know him, he is actually very nice. He does grade tough on papers, but if you talk to him, he will help you out. He almost always tells you when there will be a quiz in class and there are no big tests. Participate in class and you will be fine.

Campbell is such a sweetheart. He posts everything he will be doing in class a week ahead and as long as you check the discussions, you'll be prepared for any "pop quizzes". He literally tells you when those have a chance of occurring. No final or midterm just write 3 papers out of the 12 assigned, speak during discussions and you'll be great.

You'll have to read a lot in his class, but you'll be fine even if you don't do some of the readings. He gives very good lectures and he makes them not as boring as they could be. The only thing is that his handwriting is unreadable and he won't tell you your grade until the end of the semester.

Only big complaint is he doesn't post grades online. There is a lot of reading for class but you know what to look for in the reading from the discussion questions. Attend class every day and talk during discussions for easy points. If you write more than 3 papers he will drop the lowest grade(s). You will get the grade you want to work for.

John Campbell seems scary at first but really he is a sweetheart and always ready to help students. There are a lot of readings to do and discussions that go along with the readings but those are easy! He gives great lectures and is genuinely passionate about history!
