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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.
