Frasure makes history very interesting, and his teaching methods make the learning material very easy to remember. His tests are all open book, open note, and you can talk to other students. Frasure also has a great sense of humor.
dude is freaking awesome helping me out on getting a history major and hes so knowledgeable
Frasure is the EST teacher ive EVER had. everyone should take this class. its hard not to PASS it.
One word.......AWESOME.
Frasure has his game together! He knows what he is doing and what he is talking about. Quizzes are cake(open notes) and the content of class is very interesting. I recommend everyone take this or one of his other history classes. You should come out with it w/ nothing less than an A or B if you do your work!

This class was awsome I thought it was going to be hard and not learn anything i learned alot and he made it fun!!
I enjoyed this class and fraser made it very interesting!
I had doubts about the class, but it was TOTALY fun, kept things going, quizes were not boring, and do go the extra mile and do the honors thing, you will enjoy your self!
Frasure is the most down to earth teacher i have ever met. He is a happy, honest, and full of energy. I found his classes very interesting and some things i learned were apalling, but nevertheless, he made it all interesting and he has my vote as #1 teacher in the whole college. I would take him for a class even if i didn't need it. He is the best
Outstanding! Every class was exciting and interesting!
Just a great teacher, you will learn so much and will LOVE history.
Awesome educator!
Frasure is an awesome teacher and creates his own material to teach from. Every student should take him at least once. He is very blunt with the truth of history and very entertaining. I've never laughed so hard in any class.
He is quite amazing, a nut job, but quite easy and amazing
By far one of the most awesome teachers i've ever had. He makes history fun, and more importantly knows what he is talking about doesn't use a text book to bore you or teach you. you'll learn more things from him than anyone about history..garaunteed, prepare to be amazed!
John Frasure is the BEST history professor I've had so far in my lifetime. He teaches the good, the bad, and the ugly about the past history of the US, and the world. I consider myself lucky to be enrolled in his course, and look forward to each class session.
This man is amazing, he's very blunt detailed and all his information is usefull i love his class and can't wait for next semester with him!
I used to only be interested in Ancient history but after taking 2 out of 4 of JF classes, I am now majoring in history. He knows his stuff, and is very compassionate about what he teaches and that is how you get great teachers. When they love what they teach! On a side note very funny:) its like learning history from a stand up comedian :)
AMAZING PROFESSOR! he loves teaching, loves students and mostly loves history! I PROMISE you will learn to appreciate history after taking any of his classes! He is a very funny man and makes learning fun. No text book crap...he researches information and prints it out... stuff that books dont tell you! I LOVE HIM! FRASURE is THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
LOVE HIM! If there were more teachers like this, the educational world would be soooo much better.
Best teacher I have ever had. Never liked American history until I took his class. He loves teaching and his students and makes history fun.
Easiest teacher I have ever had. Has a passion for teaching. You will learn more about history then from any other teacher. This teacher will have an impact on my life forever.
Very easy. He lectures for the whole class, then you answer one quiz question every night. He knows what he's talking about, and is a very smart man. You will learn more about America in this one class than you ever did in your life.
Frasure knows his stuff! I wasn't that interested in history but needed the class and I don't regret it. He teaches you stuff you've never heard before.
Frasure does know his history, however he mostly talks about current politics and the future of our country. He is VERY bitter towards current government and the class is extremely depressing as he mostly talks about our "destroyed country" and that we have no hope for the future. When he is on topic he is great, but that isnt often. Use caution.
I absolutely hated history all my life until I took his class. Not only is he knowledgeable about History, he is extremely passionate about it. You get the feeling he really loves what he does and would not enjoy doing anything else in the world. He has a wonderful sense of humor. He is very easy--but you walk away learning soooo much!
His Vietnam class rocks!! I have learned so much from him! He makes the class easy and fun!! I highly recommend taking one of his classes before he retires!!
Frasure is an example of what all teacher need to be. He has the passion for teaching and it comes across to every student. I noticed kids that weren't really paying attention in the beginning of the semester, within 2 weeks they were glued to his every word. If you think history is boring you won't after taking his class. He is awesome!!!!
A realist, a prophet, a constitutionalists, and a teacher with passion, Frasure lays out the facts. Having over 30 years of research and experience, the man puts everything on the line, holds nothing back and tells calls it like he sees it. Great class. I laughed, I cried, I recommend John Frasure
This guy Rocks!! I went in expecting to know everything about American History, It turns out I knew absolutely nothing.
Very good teacher, u learn a lot.
An amazing professor who's really passionate about History. He gets everything to make sense and has the greatest notes ever. The tests are really easy too.
he is super cool for real. SO interesting. TAKEEEE history of vietnam or whatever. super cool
The best history teacher I have ever been with. I have learned more in 2 weeks than I did my entire 4 years of High School. Take him, if you just want to fill some credits in, take his class. I guarantee you, you will learn alot from him.
Awesome teacher :)
Absolutely fantastic instructor. He has a real passion for knowledge and the truth and shares everything he knows with his students. I wish every teacher was like him.
Amazing teacher. He let's you know everything and i mean everything about your history. I love this teacher and will only be taking all of his history classes. Also NO textbook he puts it all online!
You better catch him while you can... he may retire within the next couple of years. Imagine what it would be like to meet with the Dalia Lama or Jesus Christ... your experience and what you take away from Frasure's class can only be measured with "Total Enlightenment"! He awakens the passion within you, guides u in how to use it, then sets u free!
The "Enlightenment" comment, is the best way to categorize this. Fraisure's passion sparks something inside you, too hard to not to leave with a motivation to change the world. Wish I could have known about him sooner, would have overdosed on his courses. Take him, NO WAY to be let down. took his Vietnam course,now planning a take down.
Best professor I have come across. If you want the truth about our history he is the man to take. He is and educator and not a teacher. Taking his class changed my view on life and triggered a passion I was not aware of. You truly learn in his class.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! He is funny, informative, he really knows what he is talking about! I enjoy his class everyday! Loved it! His tests are extremely hard, but they are open everything- it is basically a class effort, and he even helps you. I really liked how he made his exams a learning experience as well!
Hands down, greatest teacher I have ever had. He cares about your learning and does not BS you with lame assignments, you will learn alot guaranteed. I wish every teacher I had was like Frasure he is THEE best! He is very passionate about teh subject and will get you engaged in it. I wish I could take more classes with him.
I ahve tn all the class that Mr. Frasure offers. He is so passionate but expects contribution and interaction from the class. he has completely researched everythin heteches and does not take a text book as historical fact. His passion for veterans is admirable and contagious. He is one of the best men I have ever met.
Hes got a lot of energy and you can tell hes really passionate about the subject he teaches. I had him for Vietnam History. I thought the subject was boring but another classmate had suggested him because Mr. Frasure's class was interesting and the tests and homework were not demanding.
Now enrolled in my 2nd class w/Mr Frasure - LOVE him! His lectures are informative, on topic - history from a honest perspective! I will most definitely take every class he teaches. Without a doubt the best professor I have ever had .
He is the type of professor that will leave an impression on you for years to come. I'd take every class he teaches if I were able to.
BEST EDUCATOR I'VE EVER HAD! MAKES CLASS ENGAGING EVERY SINGLE DAY..THERE IS NOT ONE DAY THAT YOU COME OUT OF HIS WITHOUT LEARNING SOMETHNG. VERY HONEST PROFESSOR WHO IS WILLING TO EDUCATE WHO WANTS TO BE EDUCATED. THIS IS MY FIRST CLASS WITH HIM AND ALREADY ENROLLED IN 2 MORE FOR NEXT SEMESTER!:)
If you have to take a history... MAKE SURE you get Fresure. He is FREAKING fantastic! I will remember him for a lifetime. Great man. He gives you the No Bull approach to history and brings in guest speakers. My Vietnam History class has changed the way I look at the world. Great. Great. Great!
Greatest professor i've ever had. Great man with a passion for students and educating
Greatest professor I have ever come across and I can't imagine coming across a better one.
Frasure is amazing! I love history and he made it even better for me. If you are not a fan of history, you will be by the time the semester is over. Get your class with him soon, rumor has it he is going to retire. What a sad day that will be.
Mr. Frasure was a pleasure to have as a teacher. He was very fair and I loved his teaching style.
He does a great job teaching, makes it fun, interesting, and laughable. The only thing I disliked is ten minutes until the end of class, you knew it was getting close because he'd kick it into overdrive and finish the day's material very quickly. And we generally stayed late. Other than that, it was awesome class!!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. He's enthusiastic about the subjects, and he doesn't expect you to memorize everything. All tests and quizzes are done at home and in class with the help of notes and other students. No textbook required. You will always learn something new in his class. I strongly recommend!
All i have to say is his class is not just a history class its a life class. You will always learn something new. He is by far the best instructor i have ever had.
This class was by far one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken. I liked his teaching style. And he really encourages you to think for yourself, be a better person, and makes you want to change the world. There aren't many teachers out there that you would consider inspiring. But Mr Frasure is definitely inspiring.
Prior to taking his classes I did not really care for history. History, in high school was very boring for me. If you want to learn a subject that is usually not fun for a lot of people in a fun, enjoyable, and stimulating environment, then you must take all of his HIS classes. So glad to have met this wonderful teacher!
He is by far the best history teacher in the world. His class was worth every penny because it was like watching stand up. The way that he thought made you not even have to read because everything got stuck in your mind. Every professor needs to be more like him. Just like they say every college and university needs and deserves one frasure.
Frasure knows what's up. He's done his own research, and knows just about everything there is to know in the field of US History. If you're confused about any part of his class, he'll probably have an answer - and a story - to help you figure it out.
Great teacher
He is a great teacher he tell you both sides of history and not just one side of history that claims to be the positive sides, because wherever there is a positive there is also a negative.
Frasure is definitely one of my favorite professors I've ever had. He's funny and really knows what he's talking about! If you don't like history, take one of his classes and you'll change your mind.
Wow what an awesome teacher, funny good sense of humor. Wonderful at what he teaches and I will always remember him. He is very dedicated to his job.
Excellent professor. Super easy, but you learn a lot! He's passionate and an all around great guy. Highly recommend!
I had him for honors history. If you get the chance PLEASE take his class before he retires!!! I never had an interest for history, but his lectures are amazing and he's simply hilarious. The tests are all done in groups. Hardly any assignments throughout the semester. Best history class I have EVER had.
Mr. Frasure is very opinionated and his lectures are worth paying attention to. He knows what he's talking about. His quizzes, midterms, finals are just take home papers until the day it's due. There are 2 essay papers you would have to write but they're simple either interview Veterans or write an Issue Paper. See? Simple! He's a great professor!
An amazing teacher, but an even better man. Easy class, even if you don't like him you don't have to show up only on days stuff is due. EASY work. Very passionate and opinionated but understandable in his reasoning. Take his class you wont regret it.
Very good teacher best teacher I had for history ever. I learned more than I learned in high school.
I looked forward to going to Mr. Frasure's classes. This was the best class at EMCC I took so far. You will not be disappointed... Would love to take a class with him again.
Greatest teacher at the school.
Professor Frasure is a nice man, but he's really not focused in his classes. I took his HIS103, which is supposed to cover everything up to the 1860's, but, over the semester, he only covered actual info a handful of times. He mostly rambles on about politics and stories today. The only way to learn about the actual content is to read his packets.
Professor Frasure was amazing! He is very intelligent and an overall kind man. His lectures are very insightful and it is fun listening to him speak. Not much homework, a few quizzes here and there, and two large papers and two tests. Very easy class that I would definitely recommend!
Such an amazing professor!! Highly recommend him, his love for history is amazing and has such a passion for true education.
He is the real deal. Amazing teacher and really knows his history. Everyone should take one of his classes.
AMAZING HUMAN. He's really one of those instructors that you'll remember forever. He doesn't sugarcoat anything for anyone! I would definitely recommend taking one of his classes because he will only be teaching for about another year. Don't miss out!
Mr. Frasure is freakin awesome!!!!!! FANTASTIC Professor and HIGHLY recommend
Best class at EMCC. If you don't believe me, then find out for yourself.
He "rants" about current politics and also the material the class includes. He is extremely helpful and there if you need him. It's basically impossible to fail his class unless you just don't do any of the work. There is all of 20 quizzes, 2 papers, a midterm, and a final. All of which you do at home. He is super easy on the papers too.
Favorite class professor is very helpful and a great person! highly recommend taking this class!!
This is the best history class have ever had in my life. I recommend his class if you are interested in find out the whole truth about history. He is hilarious and you will always leave his class in high spirits. I would take his class again in a heart beat. Easy Quizzes, Midterms and Final even in his Honors Section Classes.
He's great. I love listening to him talk and talk and talk because thats what i feel like a great history teacher is. But its not just nonsense its things we bring up and want to talk about. Otherwise its an Easy A
Mr. Frasure is the best history teacher that I have ever had. He actually made me care about history, through his in-depth yet easy-to-understand lectures. He is very knowledgeable, funny, and makes history interesting. Assignments are very simple, and tests are a breeze. I took him for honors, and we only had to create a PowerPoint Take his class!
Mr. Frasure is an interesting history professor. He occasionally goes off topic but he's passionate about history and it shows in his teaching and he tells it like it is! The honors class has two 4 page papers and a 50 power point slide. The quizzes, midterm, and final is take home. He's retiring after this upcoming semester so don't miss out!
Frasure is easily the greatest History teacher I've ever had. He's very passionate about history. No textbooks, he creates his own packets over every president and their administration. You'll definitely learn plenty. His research includes information most of us probably wouldn't have ever known. He's a real gem. His political commentary is GOLD.
I'm so glad that I got to take my history classes with Mr. Frasure. He made every moment of class fantastic and memorable. I was very lucky to have him as a teacher before he retires. If he is still teaching, I would highly recommend you take at least one of his classes.
Seriously, the best teacher you will ever have! He has so much knowledge about history, it is amazing! Knows everything off the top of his head. He's hilarious and just a really great dude. Such a shame he is retiring soon, but if you can take him next semester FOR SURE!
He was a great teacher and he cares a lot about everyone. Felt good to have a teacher that truly wanted to see you succeed not just another students face.
He is a wonderful teacher. I had him for two history classes and I would take him again. He gives easy homework. He does talk politics all day long so if you hate politics do not take him. He actually got me into politics because before I didn't care. He will have two essays for you to do in that semester. Very easy!
Prof Frasure is by far the BEST teacher at Estrella. He is super positive and informative. He's is every parents prayer when it comes to his students. Take him fast as he will retire in Jan 2018. 100% EASY CLASS TO PASS!
Frasure, what a guy. He knows his stuff for sure. Taught me things about history no one else will teach you. He will literally teach you a little bit, then go into talking about politics though. His quizes and midterm and final exam are take home and he gives you a chance to work together on it too. Recommend to everyone before he retires.
Beautiful human being has lots of wonderful knowledge and is willing to share all of it. Lots of history humor that can actually make you laugh and enjoy lectures. I can honestly say that I actually wanted to learn history. As he would say "If we just took the time to learn our history, we would not be making the mistakes that our past has made."
One of the best instructors I have ever had the privilege to work with. He gives great in depth emotion and passion for what he teaches. He tells both sides and is honest with every point in his lectures. I definitely developed as a person by taking this class and wish there were more instructors who truly took pride in their work the way he does.
He is very fun and very smart. When he gives lectures, you retain the information because he makes it interesting. He also makes it a point to teach minorities and women about their history in America, because most textbooks and teachers leave them out. He is very kind, intelligent, and well-respected by everyone around him.
A true gem of a professor and person. He teaches real history, makes it interesting and pertains it to what is happening in society now days. Highly recommend to anyone, quizzes are take home and super easy, you just have to read the notes which he provides all online. Truly cares about his students.
He is the only teacher that I have meat that truly cares about his students. He is open and honest, and will talk to you about almost anything you want after class.
Easy A, does not do attendance. Short quizzes (shouldn't take more than 10 mins to do) Midterm and Final are done in group work in class. Extra credit is possible.
Mr. Frasure is hilarious and very opinionated, but not the bad kind. He I very informative and clear, although he has is so a lot of reading. I would take his class again!
One of the best professors I've ever had! He is hilarious and he's the realist. He lectures out of his own memory and knowledge, his class is very interesting you learn a lot about history that your average history classes do not teach.
This professor was very energetic and passionate. But, not about the history we were SUPPOSED to be learning, but more about Trump and current-state America. Most lectures went off the rails quickly and never came back, leaving us to kind of guess at what we were supposed to actually be learning. Besides that, easy A as you do the final as a class.
Mr. Frasure is one of the most inspirational professors ever! He is retiring very soon so you should take his class while you can. He does not teach from a textbook, but lectures instead. He knows many great things about American history that textbooks won't tell you. If you truly love history, then you will love him and his class! A very easy A!
One of my favorite teachers in college! Always made the lectures interesting and tied certain events in the past to current day events. You usually have to do a reading packet to find certain vocab and that would count for a quiz. Final is done as a class.
Honestly Frasure is awesome! Do exactly what he says and youll get the A. Great professor all around! EMCC got a real gem with him.
Took two of his classes and LOVED it. I genuinely looked forward to his class. He is so funny, honest, engaging with the class and respectful. His class required participation but you dont really mind because again, hes very engaging.
He is an amazing and well respected History teacher. He is also very nice and cares about all his students. He helps out as much as he can with homework, quizzes, and exams as much as he can to ensure his students pass. Aside from that he is really funny and it is always great to come to his class each day.
Prof. Frasure was patient, helpful with concerns, and readily answered my questions! He is a true gem and has such a funny sense of humor! Please, take him before he retires this fall! No papers. Total of 20 quizzes and 2 exams which are straightforward. I was able to glean beneficial knowledge from his organized and objective course.
