Really nice person and teacher but...He goes too fast only on ocasion he goes into detail on the meterial. Uses a different book than the students so whenever he assignes page numbers to read, it's super confusing. Does too much administrative stuff.
Funny character but he wastes too much time on paper work and students makeing up for tests. He gives 6 tests during a term. His tests are true or false and very confusing. I ended up with better grades if I did not study at all.
I had Chamberlain for Public Speaking. At first I wasn't too crazy about the course, just because of the course in general but it ended being one of the easiest classes I had to take. The work load is very easy and he is a very easy grader!
MR CHAMBERLAIN IS GREAT EASY EASY EASY TAKE HIM HE IS REALLY EASY.
I took him for both speech and humanities and fouind him to be an easy A, just come to class and you have a chance at an A. He is really nice and funny, AND just tries to get you through the class without loosing your interest.. I loved him.
Professor Chamberlain is a pretty cool guy, he has some interesting stories and teaches well. Sometimes his sense of humor is a bit strange but he can also be hilarious. He basically tells you what to study for each exam, which is nice.
Except for his sense of humor sometimes, he is a really easy teacher. He made speaking class fun and not so uncomfortable to be in front of everyone.
Great professor! I took Speech Class during Fall A term. It went by very quickly and was quite easy. I was dreading taking speech, but it was so much easier than I ever dreamed. Take Dr. C.--he's great!
he is awesome. the test are relatively easy and the papers were a guaranteed A if you did what he asked. very funny guy and he knows his stuff.
Doc Chamberlain is a great guy, funny, and good teacher. Attend class, stay awake, and you'll be fine. His tests are very easy as well. Very intelligent man as well.
So easy!! I took him for Spring B, and I'm glad I did, b/c it went by so fast. Test and speeches are really easy. The speeches are not that long either! Test are T/F and MC. Just read the chapter and you will to fine!!
Amazing... Not only is he funny but it went by sooo fast, he really is an amazing out going guy. Take him
It’s a GPA booster class, so if you cant manage to make at least a B+, than your wasting your time! I took his class at night, which is great because we never stay the whole 3 hrs! Over all his tests are easy, tests comes straight from the book, so read the chapter. Oh and he tends to reiterate his
Great Prof.
Easy class. He grades the speaking pretty easy. The papers are insanely easy. The tests are straight from the book, and they're true/false. Easy A. Take this class.
Its a relly easy class, he's kind of a weird one cuz he tries to be funny, when he's not. But the class is easy as long as u show up. He hates when people aren't prepared to give their speech, but overall its an easy class. The tests and papers are a joke. Take it for an easy A.
easiest class i've ever had. Chamberlains a little off but funny. speeches and 2 reporst are all that is require and he is an easy grader on all the speeches. TESTS are a joke. Class is easy and the teacher makes it enjoyable. I would def take him again. youd regret not taking this class!!!
fun fun fun
He makes it so easy to get an A. He tries to make jokes and even realizes that he isn't funny---which makes it funny. Great class to be in. Just go to class and participate when necessary. Easy A.
All you have to do is show up to class and highlight/write down/mark whatever he lectures and his tests are exactly what goes on in class.
easiest class you will ever find. Great GPA booster!
Very Easy class. I took the spring B calss and it was very simple. He isn't very clear about what he wasnts for the assignments but it doesn't matter b/c if you just do something you'll get a good grade.
A very easy class. The key is to make a good impression on your first speech and you will always get a good grade because the first speech will test most of your skills. He tells you where your test questions must come from. An easy and fun teacher.....
Dr. C is an awesome professor and so funny! He makes going to class fun, and the assignments are not hard. I would recommend him!
An awesome class! Dr. C is tries to be a funny man in the subject of Humanities -- it's a scholarly achievement! Shame on the students who leave class early... Go back to high school!
For those paranoid having to take speech, the key is to rehearse your speeches like all speeches. Dr. C is not clear sometimes. Its up to you to do it, and you will get a good grade.
Dr. C. is an ok teacher, but the class is pretty easy. He doesn't grade too hard on your speeches or your essay assignments. He tells you exactly what will be on the test, and all the tests are true fals. Pretty easy A.
From day one he gives the class an amusing/friendly attitude that makes even fearful public speakers feel at ease. Assignments are varied and fun, unlike other public speaking classes I have taken. Skim through the chapter and you should have no problem on his T/F tests. Easy "A" if you complete all assignments on time.
Mr. Chamberlain is a really easy teacher, who has a weird sense of humor! I did feel he was very liberal and was biased against some of my more conservative speeches. Overall, I would take this class again if I had to.
chamberlain is amazing. very funny and really easy to understand. doesnt make the tests difficult and you can pass with an a only spending about an hour a week on class work. definitely recommended
Well Dr. Chamberlain gave the opportunity for an easy A. He tended to be cheerful but occasionally had a few irritable days, but who doesn't. Hey Mr. Chamberlain, you nosy man you! We all know you are reading this!
Dr Chamberlin is a terrific teacher. He made you feel very comfortable during speeches. Make sure you do just as he ask or he will take points. A little on the strange side but very intertaining. I would take this class again if needed.
I dreaded having to take public speaking.. but this ended up being my favorite class! Dr. Chamberlain is very entertaining. Definitly take his class!!
Funny guy. Can be corny. Gives a lot of speeches. Work due almost every other week. Tests are simple true/false. Pretty fun class overall. Almost the whole class is passing with atleast a B.
Very easy teacher. I mean, he gives TRUE FALSE TESTS! I got an A- on a test i forgot to study for! He even tells you the exact material to study for his exams the day before. I mean the EXACT pages and paragraphs! Take this class, you wont regret it.
This is the best class i've ever taken! He tells you exactly what to look at for the tests, and they are T/F. i would recommend it to anyone. Plus, he's hilarious and keeps the class laughing. and you always get out early.
Great guy . funny. make sure you do the papers, they count for alot. and the speeches are rather easy and gives you alot of lee way . tests are easy and obvious. if your really outgoing he will love you!
He is a great speech teacher. If speech is one of your biggest fears he is the only way to go. Speeches are easy and he doesn't pressure you at all. MUST TAKE
Love this guy. He has has the silliest ways of being humorous and you can't help but to like him. On ALL of his tests he tells you exactly (down to the paragraph) where to find it in the book to be able to study. No homework ever! Only a few easy essay's that you can BS and still get an A on. This was the easist A I've ever gotten.
Easy but kind of scattered. Do the work and you'll be fine.
haha, funniest man ever! easy "A". Exams are true/false and only about 15.. but its not the tricky kind of T/F, its straight forward. A couple papers, but they only have to be about two paragraphs each, and as long as you meet the length requirement he will give you a 100% regardless.
His assignments are easy, but there are a LOT of them. If you do it you'll get an A, so just do it. Keep track of every grade he returns because he forgot to record two of mine and it dropped me to a B, but he issued a grade change. Strange guy, but pretty entertaining.
Nice guy, and loves his subject.
He's a goofy teacher..a required writing class, but the papers are pretty painless. If done on time, easy A. He makes it uber easy to have an A on his T/F tests as well since he reviews in quick detail.
If you want a class that you will have no stress then take him!! Through out the semester there are 4 short papers( most of them are do around the end of the semester). Everything is worth 70 points so if you forget to turn in a paper or do a test you can still get an A. Best part is we always get out early because he has "meetings".
Dr. Chamberlain is the best professor. He really has a passion for humanites. He makes the class enjoyable. I wish I had him for every class. His class is alot of work. You have to work for an A. But if you show up to class and do the assignments you will do great.You will learn alot.you wont regret taking him!!!
What a crazy nut, but a good guy. Took this class during summer A so there was a lot of writing in a short period of time: 5 150 word journals, 300 word speech paper, 500 word drama paper, 5 outloud speaches, and 6 true/false tests. He gives you all the info for the tests and grades you on effort not perfection so it's very possible to make an A.
Great Professor. Very funny, keeps things light and stress free. 4 writing assignments to do, some performances to attend. I wish I had him for some of my other classes!!
Awesome...I love his dry sense of humor, tests and speeches are super easy...great class!
I enjoyed this class. Required to go to museum, play, concert and then write a 300 word report. Not hard to do. Shows dvd's of different cultures to let you get a feel for the time period. Helpful hints for testing. Nice dry sense of humor throughout course.
Great guy, dry sense of humor. don't be offended if he calls you by the wrong name or adds names to your name. volunteer to be his time keeper, you get 100 extra credit points. class is fun.
I had Dr.Chamberlain for speech and humanities and I got an A in both classes,and trust me when I tell you he's an easy A just do the work,come to class, and you'll get a good grade!!!GPA Booster.
A+++++ EASY A Great teacher TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!
He is extremely easy going. Not much effort is required for an A. He reviews for tests, and gives about three essays. That's it.
nice professor ever I wish I have him every class in my college time. True and False test, u will never get lower than B even thought u dont study at all, but turn in papers on time. U should be fine . Love him so much
Good Easy class but if you miss a day you will miss him telling you an upcoming assignment...he does NOT like repeating himself! But overall pretty easy class!
I LOVE MR CHAMBERLAIN! HE'S THE BEST TEACHER EVER! TAKE HIS CLASS!
Dr. Chamberlain was the easiest professor I have ever had at Santa Fe. Classes went no longer than like 25 minutes and the tests are true/false and impossible to get less than an A. Also there are 4 papers due that are 500 words each and are a piece of cake. Definitely take him for any of the humanities courses to get an easy A!!!!
Highly recommend this class. Super easy A. He is really laid back and most classes ended early. Love this class
Don't take this class too seriously. All you have to do is show up. Attendance is important so don't let that be the thing that prevents you from getting the easy A. Also don't expect him to go out of his way to help you. He's a lazy turtle.
If you want a teacher whos funny, easy, and doesnt assign any work, then take this guy!! He jokes around a lot and makes up a different name for you every day. His tests are a lil tricky, but still very easy. All you need to do is pay attention to the review and youre good. He assigns a few papers but doesnt even read them! Wish I could take again.
This is a really relaxed class.the tests are T/F and he goes over everything you need to know. Shows movies almost every class and he lets you out of class early. Theres 4 papers all around 400 words each. If you show up to class, laugh at his jokes and meet the word requirements on the papers its an easy A.
you seriously have to try to not get an a in this class. Really funny guy I would love to take him again. TAKE HIM FOR SPEECH
Best teacher. Take him for every class he offers, easy A. All of his tests are T/F and he assigns a few papers. His class allows 6 absences excused or unexcused and he doesn't really tell you attendance counts til the end of the year. Also very fuuny.
He was a good professor but he had a very dry sense of humor.
I love Chamberlain. Definitely not a demanding class in any respect. Easy T/F tests and 2 page double spaced papers. One project and one map test. You have to try not to get an A in this class. If you miss more than 6 classes your grade will plummet due to departmental rules. Definitely recommend this class if you're looking for an easy A.
This is what college is all about, some of the least interesting subjects were lectured about interestingly. And being so loose amidst some uptight students was a great example of nonchalance, and it was hysterical often.
Other than this Professor is certifiably insane the class was fine. He really gets off on tangents but your syllabus tells you everything you must do for the class. He covers everything for the tests which are all true/false. You need to attend class, make 5 speeches and write 3 papers then you'll get an easy A. He's actually kinda funny. Take him
I took him online and it was pretty easy. I recommend taking this class online for anyone who wants to get the prerequisite out of the way. He's very helpful if you're uncertain on the assignment and responds back rather quickly. It's very hard not to get at least a B+
I liked him so much I took 2 different classes of his. They were req. courses apart from my major and he still drew my interests to French art and culture and a dozen other classical or pop. traditions. He doesn't feel the need to display his complete knowledge of a subject rather he highlights the most engaging. Hilarious , fascinating, and def.
The written parts of the class were good. Grading was consistent and fair.
Chamberlain is an easy teacher- which is not to say I'd take him again. He is very witty and clever, but he gave super sassy responses to students when they asked him simple questions. He definitely knows his material and is extremely intelligent, but my experience with him was not the greatest.
He was an okay professor. He will help you and allow some lenience, but not a lot. The thing I didn't like is that if you get an 89.9, that's what you got. Not a 90, but an 89.9.
Chamberlain is very witty and definitely knows his stuff, but the class I took from him during the summer (half online, half on campus) was a huge disappointment. He didn't seem to care at ALL about the subjects he was teaching. He never got to class early, and once cancelled class without letting us know beforehand. Very little feedback from him
Dr. Chamberlain is a hilarious and witty professor, he is very knowledgeable about what he teaches and wants you to make a good grade. The tests are easy and there are barely any at all. Expect a lot of speeches, but not hard ones. He will prepare you and explain everything to you, but you do have to pay attention and do your work.
If you do exactly what he tells you, and show up to give your lectures- you will get an A. He grades the papers fairly, 3- 500 word papers. You have to go to an outside event and see a production of your choice. Don't read off your outline while speaking. He can be a little witty, but is a very smart professor. The textbook is online!!
You basically show up and pass, he was funny and a little weird. If you do the work, which is not difficult, you receive and A.
Chamberlain is hilarious, don't expect him to call you by your REAL name. He's sassy and intelligent, however, if you're looking for an easy A ... TAKE THIS CLASS. Turn in the work and you will receive full credit. Papers are reasonable (500 words) discussions are easy (300 words). Tests are t/f and he provides a study guide that has what you need.
I really enjoyed Chamberlian's class, he is a very good teacher. He is funny, fun and likes to interact with students. His lectures were interesting and I enjoyed researching all the different topics. BUT there are A LOT of papers! Grades are easy, just do the work. Show up and participate and you will pass. Funny, Fun would take again if possible.
Easy class with easy assignments. He only really takes points off for lateness or just lack of response. Tests are easy. He makes the ocassional comment on submissions, which is okay, but otherwise no communication. Pretty good prof to take!
This guy is.. Well eccentric I suppose. Absolutely hilarious, but my entire class was, 1) show up, 2) be lectured at, & 3) do the one project and one mandatory field trip and pass. I would take a class from him again if only to hear his banter & anecdotes.
Prof. Chamberlain is a super funny guy. The class is an easy A as long as you do the assignments and submit them on time.
Apparently a pretty decent professor *in class* but online is very frustrating. Very unorganized, syllabus and online material say two different things, and very difficult to get a clear answer out of him. Be prepared to figure everything out on your own. Not difficult material but I prefer more organization and clear comm. when needed though.
Very nice and understanding professor.
I enjoyed Dr. Chamberlain's class this Fall semester! His class is super easy to pass, as long as you come to class everyday. He gives extra opportunities to make work up, and is he is not a tough grader. I would definitely take his class again, if presented the opportunity to do so!!!
I looked him up here before taking the class&was largely disappointed, as "on-land" classes (as he calls them) have positive experiences, where taking him online is completely different. Syllabus is unclear, his communication is awful, problem-solving is not his strong suit and I would NEVER take a class with him again. Very unpleasant experience.
Disappointed in this teacher and class after reading what I did on here before taking him. The only thing I found that stands true is the class is easy. Just do the work, show up and pass. That said, the entire class felt like a waste of time. I don't really feel like I learned anything, and the assignments felt meaningless and were very boring.
Dr. Chamberlain is a great professor who desires nothing less than the best for his students. His lessons are elementary level, meaning they are extremely easy to understand. I would definitely take his class again!
So, polite guy,However a boring boring booooorrrriiinnnggg teacher. I mean, you will learn absolutely nothing in this class. He doesn't review material, just points at pictures in book and tells you a story of when he was in Europe. I mean, easy A but dreadful to be there each class. 4 papers and 3 tests 1 powerpoint. Thats gunna weigh your grade.
If youre like myself you want to get a good grade for your GPA, unlike everyone else whining about how they learned nothing I firmly believe you get out of it what you put in. I took him online you have 3 test all online, 4 papers only 300-500 words and 9 discussion post. Easy A
Dr. C is a good guy. You're only really graded on a few things so show up, and put forth effort and you'll be fine. I really feel like I got something out of this class.
I took his humanities class online this semester and I am very happy. Dr. Chamberlain is a very nice and understanding person. You have 4 papers, 3 multiple choice test that you get a study guide for and 9 discussion post that are due throughout the semester. As for as learning the material it is up to you whether you want to learn or not. Easy A.
Supper easy class. Be ready on the speech days. Doesn't put in grades right away but does hand back speeches at end of class. Must see a play and attend a public speech. All discussion posts and essays are really easy. His essays are no more than 500 words and do not take long. Excellent professor and I highly recommend him.
Took this class online and it was very simple. A few simple papers and mini assignments. Gave everyone a 100 on the final. Highly recommend taking this class especially online!
Don't take this class on campus. Online only. He rereads everything on canvas and will answer every question with rereading the assignment instructions off of canvas. He posted a random website onto canvas, without reading its content first, for us to study for our 2nd test right in front of the whole class. He shows no interest. Unprofessional.
Professor Chamberlain is fine. I wouldn't consider him a riveting professor, though. If you take it online, there's some discussion posts spread out through the semester and four papers - you'll have to see a play and visit a museum. Do the bare minimum and you'll at least pass.
I would describe Dr. Chamberlain's HUM2020 online class as an easy A. As long as you do the assignments, which are a combination of Discussions and Papers (All around 400-600 word writing assignments), you will pass. The fact that this class had no textbook and all materials provided were basic websites with adds was my only major problem.
Mr. chamberlain class is very easy the assignments are simple most of the assignments you just have to type 400-600 words and you have discussion post that's due every week but they are easy and simple also there are three test and each test has a study guide this class is an easy A just do the work and your are fine also he does accept late work.
Professor Chamberlain ROCKS! He gave everyone an A on the last test, does not have a final, and the writing assignments are very easy, despite being lengthy. 11/10 would take again
Mr Chamberlain is an easy class. Very interesting. Must participate in discussions. Tests are super easy with study guides. You can't fail
Took this class online and really enjoyed it. You're grade is based upon a few papers, class discussion posts, three tests (all true or false), and one final project. If you do the reading and follow his instructions he will give you a good grade. Highly recommend.
This class was quite difficult. It was enjoyable to an extent, but it took a lot of work, more than I expected. Professor Chamberlain was pretty good, not the best, but certainly not the worst.
This class was an easy A. If you show up, you pass essentially. The online format was a little bit difficult to get used to in this class but if you read the syllabus at the beginning you should be fine. The textbook was free and this class didn't require a lot of work. Dr. Chamberlain will let you make up assignments if you're honest.
If you follow his instructions you will get a 100%. The midterm and final were each 16 questions and they were multiple choice. Every Friday something is due, but other than that, there is nothing. Prof Chamberlain is very nice, and he just wants you to succeed. He does not post a lot of announcements, but there are never any surprises.
Dr. Chamberlain was a great professor & I would definitely take this course again! He would respond very quickly to emails and give back good feedback if you request it. He was very lenient when it came to turning in late assignments and his assignments were actually interesting. All classwork was super easy, even the tests were open book.
Follow his instructions and his syllabus and you will literally get a 100 in this class. There are 3 speeches, 3 discussions, and 3 papers which are extremely easy. There's a midterm and final that's multiple choice and also simple as well.
Really easy class. English is not my native language so he went easy on me and sometimes gave me more points even though I obviously didn't deserve them according to the clear grading chart and requirements. He is laid back guy so I would recommend taking him.
hes kind of an a hole honestly and i was giving a presentation w a group of students and i was the only one wearing a mask and that boomer told me to take it down and i did and then proceeded to tell me if you are uncomfortable you can go sit in the corner
I took this class a hybrid, mostly online and attended class on Fridays. The class isnt hard if you know how to manage your time. Every Friday there was an assignment whether that was a speech, an essay or outline due. None of the assignments were ever hard as long as you met the grading criteria. The classes on friday were about an hour long.
John Chamberlain is awful. He refuses to learn student names, and instead calls that he feels like. He admitted to adding replied to this rate my professor. He would hold class for however long sometimes only holding it for 2 minutes. I feel as if I learned nothing in his class. He is truly just mean sometimes referring to be as a dog etc.
Professor Chamberlain its just amazing belive me take this class you will not regret it.
This class is perfect if you want to get an easy A, Professor Chamberlain is hilarious but you may don't like him if you are too sensitive. I would recommend this class to everyone who wants to improve a little bit his public speaking.
Professor chamberlains public speaking class is consists of around 1 speech ever other week at the most, its very easy and hes very clear about what your speech lacked. Hes also a funny dude despite speaking in monotone, and hes very kind to his students. I would 100% recommend taking his class if you want a laid back class with an easy A
Looking for a lot of interaction? Skip it. Looking for a really easy A for minimal effort? Take it. Class almost never went more than 30-45 mins for a class sched. 2+ hrs. Volunteer to keep time- enough EC to get you out of an entire speech. Make a friend. He will always tell you ahead of time if next class is cancelled but never posts it on Canvas
Prof. Chamberlain was funny. He'll tell you straight up if you did something he doesn't like. His class is very easy to pass as long as you do the assignments. There were only a couple tests and they were multiple choice. Textbook is provided online free of charge. You won't find an easier public speaking class.
Took Chamberlain for both Humanities and Public Speaking. I passed both. I was very shy about giving the speeches but he grades based on improvement, even if you are not the best. He was very interesting to learn Humanities with him because he described the different topics very well and kept everyone engaged. He teaches everything very well.
He's a silly guy, and the class was easy. He grades speeches really quickly, and it didn't seem like he was paying that much attention to them so even as someone stutters a lot when making speeches it didn't hurt my grades. Besides speeches, there are some writing assignments and tests but he tells you where the answers are in the free online book
To be honest, his speech rubrics are very straightforward. However, he doesn't seem to pay much attention as long as you meet the allotted time. His classes are very short.
If taken as summer class, homework is back-to-back. But lectures are short, and he makes it easy to pass. Follow the instructions and you get full credit. His lectures didn't give all the info needed for tests, but follow the study guide and be fine. The religion module seemed very opinionated....but other than that, just submit the work and pass.
