Great teacher, makes the class fun and has the best stories I've ever heard. Will take for 1302 for sure!
Uncle Mac is totally awesome! I just want to party with this MF! Rock on, Cambridge!
He was definitely a good teacher. Very knowledgeable about the subject and made the class very fun by sometimes incorporating personal stories and true stories about what the topic may be that day. Great teacher. Highly suggested to anyone who is deciding on taking a history class. His class is your best bet if you want to learn and have fun.
very fun... he always knows what he is talking about and truly cares about his students well being, as long as you pay attention and do your oral reports you will make an easy A
his classes are fun and easy.....he gives u the questions before the tests....and makes it little bit easier..however i think he hates certain group of people like calls irish,italians,or any europeans....and so he calls them as foolish, silly ..........as a whole recommmended anyway..who cares about that all we need is AAAAAAAA
Easiest teacher I have ever had. He gave us all the test questions before the test. Bring an audio recorder, and a digital camera to class each day. Sometimes he lets you take pics of the test if you just ask him. Required research paper at the end of the year but he grades it SUPER easy. Take him for as many classes are you can.
He will teach you history based on live experience and stories. He is good teacher but he gossip too much. Beside that, his test is easy as long you study his handout, little on text book. You will definitely make A if you do the following: take note on every thing he says it will be on test, !!Do the Oral report.!!. and be on time on the class.
Awesome teacher, he completely understands teenagers. I came in with a huge hangover and he walked in the class and saw me and just let me lay there. Of course he picked on me throughout class but he knows what its like to me a kid. I didnt do my oral report cuz i was busy partyin all weekend, so he let me do it Wednesday.
This guy is awesome!! He has the funniest stories in the world. His tests overall are great and easy.
Best teacher ever...easiest history teacher. Easiest tests every thing is so easy and his class is nothing just FUN. He knows his subject...close your eyes and jump into this class you will pass with A..three easiest tests and one research paper. No headache.JUST GO AND TAKE HIM...HURRY-UP....you won't regret...
I took History 1301 and 1302 and I have passed both classes with an A..He is the best teacher ever and getting better and better with every semester...he is easy who offers lottsssss of extra credit points on daily bases and you just have to show-up in the class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! I really regret not taking him for History 1301! He makes class interesting, and will keep you awake!! Hurry!! You definately wont regret!!
He is a really good teacher, this is the 3rd time I am taking HIST 1301 and this time I didn't drop because Mr. Mccambridge made this class so interesting for me. We have 4 test, 8 oral reports and 1 research paper. Just do what he asks for and ur guarenteed an A.
Wonderful Professor! Clear instructions, he has a drive to see his students succed. Teaches from personal experience. Loves what he does and makes you love it too! Hard work, but well worth it!
FUNNY
I had him for both hist 1301/1302. He is very easy. I used to take extra notes while he was lecturing but I realized that if you just study the handouts he gives you then you'll make an A. He drops the lowest grade out of 4 tests. There is one research Follow outline and you will get an A. If you have an A in the class your exempt from the final.
McCambridge is overall an easy professor. There is a research paper, but just follow his outline and you'll get an A. Everything on the test is found in the study packets he hands out. He likes to balb about his personal life in class. Don't bother to buy the book; you only need it for oral reports and your essay. Save money and go to the library.
This guy had a crush on these twins from Pakistan. Actually if you are an average student & your parents aren't black or white American (African, Asian, Pacific Islander) he will praise you & give you an A. Yes he is a ****. If not look out. You might get stuck with a B. He assigns a crappy bs paper too that everyone dreads. He curses ALOT!
He is a pretty easy teacher. Attendance is mandatory but its worth it because it is very chill. He usually has printed notes for you and he reviews very well for test. It is a good class to take as long as your willing to put some effort into it.
well he made it easy to make a good grade in the class but his tests werent very clear on the notes he gave out...he gives out alot of extra credit, so u have to use that to ur advantage to make ur A...throughout the class it was really hard for him to stay on track, which made it annoying...
THIS GUY IS THE BEST HISTORY TEACHER AT NORTH LAKE. HE HAS EASY TEST COVERS ALL MATERIAL IN CLASS AND ALL TEST QUESTIONS ARE UNDERLINED IN HIS PACKETS.YOU HAVE TO WRITE A RESEARCH PAPER HOWEVER HE GRADES IT SUPER EASY. HE WILL GIVES A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A VERY EASY A.
good prof.
Take this class if you want an A! He will give extra credits points just for showing up to class. He sometimes gets off topic and has his own opinion about everything...but his stories are great and he has obviously lead an adventurous life. I have alot of respect for him and if you speak up in class he will really like you! NOT a heavy work load!
He needs a reality check. He likes to go off topic way too much. Then tries to rush through to give a test. His essay assignment is a joke. He tries to make himself seem very opened minded. There's not much work to his class, so if you really need a high grade, I'd take him. Don't expect to be impressed though.
Greatest history professor on earth
very easy teacher. everyday in beginning of class he asks question about what we learned the last day and person gets 2 pts on test. teacher gets off track sometimes but again VERY EASY. tests are easy and very little homework. only about 6 oral reports but reports are easy. teacher brought cookies and brownies for final for students
I came here and check out him before,since most of the comments are positive so I did take his class. WHAT A BIG JOKE!! Most of the time he talked about his family-his father,wife,five sons,daughters in-law,grandkids,etc.. and just rush to lectures. 3 months after semester started we only had 1 test which suppose 4 in total. I wish I didnt take him
Take him if you want an easy A. He tells stories all the time, I think I heard more about his life than history. Every day he reviews what we did the day before, just underline what he asks for review in the packet he gives you and those are the questions on the test. No need to buy the book, just go use it from the library when we get oral reports
McCambridge KNOWS history. he knows these stories by heart and has passion. gives plenty of extra credit opportunity. teaches his class by using ideas suggested by students. gets a little side tracked with personal stories but they line up with what he was talking about in history and they're interesting.show up for every class and read the review
Good Prof. Take this class is history is not your best subject. Easy A if you study the packet he gives you and he gives a lot of extra credit. THERE IS NO WAY ONE COULD FAIL THIS CLASS. BEST TEACHER AT NLC!
He rocked!! Take him if you can. He gives a handout for each section all the answers for tests are in the handout. You dont really need a book, when he gave homework I used the library's text book. At the end of the semester he will give you a chance to make an A in his class by answering 1 question. he does go off for ever in weird random stories
By far the easiest professor you'll have. Not real sure he knows anything about history but the tests are cupcake easy. I wouldn't suggest him if you actually want to learn
Pretty epic professor. I recommend him to anyone who wants to get a good history grade. He keeps your attention. If you have your laptop, he knows you're gonna mess around on it, but as long as you do your job and don't distract people, and do your work (sit in the back if you have a comp) it's a pretty easy class.
super easy, sort of boring, but the tests and assignments were easy.I would recommend him.
He rocks!!! Study a lil.. i bared made an A and hardly studied..dont forget the oral reports.
one word... AWESOME!
He's decent.
I took him during my first semester of college (Fall 09), I love his class he makes it fun and very interesting. Tests are NOT hard. Oral reports tell and the research paper isn't as hard either. I think he is the best History teacher ever so I will reccommend him to other students!!!
If you want an easy grade take him. He trails off and tells lots of weird stories, so bring coffee if you decide to take him in the morning. But, nonetheless a neat guy.
If you want a easy A or B, then take this guy. He loves to tell stories about his family and his past life, so bring your lab top and/or coffee so you won't fall a sleep. Other than that, he's a GREAT professor. He's a huge encourager and wants ALL of his students to pass. So I would refer him to anyone thats needing a History credit.
If you make anything lower than a B in this class you failed at life. his class is super easy you dont need to buy a book just use the library books, he gives you the notes and whats going to be on the test is underlined a few easy oral reports which are extra easy wit a easy research paper that i did a hour before it was due and made a 90 on.
It would be nice if he used the entire class to cover material. Instead he uses half the time to tell embellished war stories or personal family history. He is unprofessional and talks about of smack about anyone or anything he doesn't agree with.
HE IS A GREAT FAT GUY. I GOT AN A BUT IT WAS NOT EASY. YOU CAN TAKE HIS CLASS, IF U CAN SHOW UP DAILY IN CLASS , ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. OVERALL HIS IS NICE PERSON, AND HELPS U A LOT.
VERY HELPFUL TEACHER!!! VERY ENCOURAGING AS WELL... TEST ARE VERY EASY (AS LONG AS YOU STUDY). AND WHEN THE TEST COME, HE'LL LET YOU USE ONE PAGE OF THE ACTUAL NOTES THAT YOU'VE HAD PROBLEMS STUDYING WITH. ALSO, YOU MUST COME TO CLASS OR HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY YOU COULDN'T COME (SO THEY CAN BE EXCUSED AND WONT COUNT AGAINST YOU). EASY A!!!
he is an awesome prof. i took both 1302 and 1302 with him.... and i got both A... just need to do wat ever he assigns us.. which is basically a 5 minutes job...! and make sure u take the extra credit opportunity.... then u are guaranteed an A
He is really easy. He gives extra credit all the time. BUT he forgets to assign things and he repeats his stories all the time! I don't mind that he strays off topic but when I've heard them 5 times before, it gets real boring. We also fall behind a lot because of this. Not taking 1302 with him..
Pretty easy going teacher, he knew his subject and I would recommend him if you wanna get an easy A. Just attend his classes, participate, and do the oral reports for extra credit.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
Easiest class...I didn't pass the first 2 tests and still ended up with an A!
He is the teacher who knows the subject very well
Great...No stress. . .Should be an easy A....Funny as heck...very dedicated..i actually looked forward to his class everyday
He REALLY wants students to succeed. If you make it to class ON TIME and use the outline he gives you, there is no reason you won't make an A. He is not always accurate on his "facts", but is somewhat entertaining. He tends talk about his family and Army buddies, just humor him!
Overall the class is an easy A. The teacher on the other hand is extremely boring, and he will go off on tangent frequently to talk about his family,women,and military. He is also old so he repeats things and may not be the most correct person on his facts. Tests are pulled directly from his notes, and he gives many extra credit.
Easy A. This is what you have to do: show up, highlight the parts on the outline he gives you that he says will be on the test, look up the extra credit that he gives you before hand, answer questions in class that he asks from the outline for extra credit, and sit at the front because he will like you more. do that and you will get a 100
he is a really helpful teacher. most teachers think just helping a student when they ask questions is enough. he actually tells u what part of the notes are important and helps you. he is a teacher who simply wants all of his studens to pass and he also gives them a good chance to do so. extra cr questions help u stay awake in the class
Really cares about his students and having them succeed. Totally an easy class and by far the best history class I have taken just make sure you study his outlines and pay attention in class! Taking an 8 am was totally worth the grade I got !
This professor is rude and seems to be irritated when you ask him for help.Also everyone in this class is lost on what chapter we reading because the outline doesnt even correspond with the chapters. IDK why everyone think this teacher is so great...I definently regret choosing this professor and WILL NOT be taking his 1302 class
Teacher is really great. He has outline notes to help you study for test. There's 4 test total, 8 oral reports very short & easy, & 1 research paper follow the guideline for research paper. He provides extra credit by answering the question from the outline & doing your oral reports as well. Took his class only on Friday & I passed. Good Luck!
Professor McCambridge has a GREAT Personality and teaching style!!! He is very helpful and wants his students to succeed. Very ENCOURAGING!!! I took with this Professor History 1301 and would love to take History 1302 but, unfortunately, he doesn’t teach it during the summer.
Easy prof, goes off on tangents sometimes, just make sure to attend and stay awake, and you'll be good.
He is easily a professor you could love to hate. Make sure you have thick skin when taking his class. This guy dislikes everything and everyone and use the classroom to vent about it all. Test are easy if you study, didn't use book much, gives lots of extra points for participation and oral reports
You have to try to fail his class. You have to try to make a B in this class. Everyone should walk out with an A. That's how badly this man wants his students to pass.
Mr. McCambridge goes above and beyond to help his students succeed. If you fail his class you should seriously consider if college is for you. Go to class, participate, and study his notes and you can't go wrong. Sometimes a bit more difficult than others to sit through but highly recommend.
Mr. McCambridge has a big heart and a true desire for his students to succeed. Attend class, participate and follow his instructions and you can't help but be successful.
good professor
Took in the summer. Be on time, reviews at the beginning of class, right answers equal extra credit. Cares, does have opinions and will tell you, but then again, so do all of them. Gave me a great recommendation, use his notes, book is minimal but needed. Would take again if I could!
Be on time! Reviews are at the beginning of class. Gives extra credit for bringing notes, right answers, being prepared. Three major (easy) tests, assignments are easy and short. Passionate about the subject and very knowledgeable. Would take his class again anytime!
he is essay but confusing
He's a great professor. He gives review quizzes in the beginning which is extra credit, and he is very clear on what he assigns. Be one time!!! He gives out extra credit out all the time. Amazing lectures!!!
He was awesome! I wish I had taken 1301 with him, however I'm glad I took this 1302.
Definitely one of the easiest classes I've ever taken! I'm not a huge history buff, but he made the class a lot more enjoyable than I expected. His notes are JUST like his tests. The only con to taking this course is he wasn't very clear on how to write the paper. Other than that, I would recommend him to anyone!
Super easy A, tests are exactly like the notes. You do need the textbook for your oral reports, and research paper. Get to class early, and answer questions for guaranteed DAILY extra credit. The truth is if you fail.... college is not your thing. The only thing that is hard is the research paper just because he has some weird guidelines.
If you fail in this course stop studying lol
he is a very good professor, the class is super easy .study the NOTES; I wasted my time studding the book that's why I got B.
Record the lectures because they are long. He's gives extra credit and review what's on the test the first 20 mins of every class.
Class is really simple & so is the grading. Participation counts towards extra credit for exams which is very helpful! Must be on time, he will randomly take roll for extra credit, if you're late he won't give you credit. Lectures are great, lots of enthusiasm. Tests are based on his notes so value them! If you fail this class college isn't for you
Participation counts towards extra credit used on exams. Will randomly take roll for credit, if you're late you won't get credit! Lectures are very enthusiastic and he has great humor. The paper is the only difficult part of the course, so ask for help he will help you! Study his notes and value them! If you fail this class, college isn't for you!
hilarious professor who really adds personalization to his teaching. just do as he asks and you will have no problem getting an A! test and assignments are very doable
He is the one who will support you. Talk to him and he will understand your problem. he is just an evil old man that helps you in everything. ( Not literally evil that how he calls himself). Goodluck guys you will be in the best hands.
The easiest class you will ever take in college. The test are right from the notes and he will tell you what will be on the test. You don't need the book, he put a copy in the library for the paper and critical thinking projects. His paper is not that hard, do what the sheet he will give you says! If you fail his class college is not for you.
I loved every time he calls us "people from Mountain Kingdom". I've learned not only about American History but also how to motivate and move forward. Calls himself an evil old KIND man. I never skipped his classes even it was 8:00 am in Fall. He gives students chances, this is the best way to treat your students. Respect OLD Veteran.
He is one of the easiest professor for History. Test are from the notes. Paper seems hard but do your work and you will get good grades. Be on time for some extra credit. You will surely have fun being in class.
gives out a lot of extra credit. He has some cool stories and knows a lot about history. Hardest thing is the paper, but you just have to read the instructions carefully and start it early. If your grade is high enough he won't make you take the 4th test. You use the book for critical thinking reports which are easy enough. Just atten extra crdt.
Prof. McCambridge gives his students every chance to pass his class. Easy A. He doesn't count off for missing class but does love publicly humiliating slackers. He also calls people out on every mistake, large or small. Wouldn't recommend for people with social anxiety. His intimidation can be nerve-wracking. Lecture heavy so class drags.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. His lectures are amazing. You'll laugh a lot in his class. Helps you a lot, just talk to him. LOT of extra credits.
Amazing Teacher!! He gives a lot of extra credit for showing up in class and participation matters as well! The exams are really easy as everything is from his notes! you jus need to learn the details and you'll get an easy A.
He is the best. Don't think, Just take it early before his classes are full.
He knows his stuff! I don't think that in my two semesters with him, he ever looked at a book. He just speaks from knowledge. He WILL call you out if he thinks you're slacking (trust me, from personal experience) but he cares about your learning and wants you to succeed. He rambles a lot and gets off topic but he is hilarious.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD!!! HILARIOUS!!! EASIEST A OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!
score 360/400 (first three tests and one paper), and you got an A. if not, take final and replace the lowest grade.. super easy tests. Must work some for the paper but not a big deal...
Great Professor ! Show up in every class and answer his questions for extra credit, you can stack them up for the upcoming exam. 3 tests and one paper, if you get an A before the final, you pass the class with an A. If not, the lowest score will be replaced by the final. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT !
There isnt a minute he isnt lecturing & talks almost 100% from memory its quite amazing. Very very easy class. Gives extra credit for just talking in class. Notes/review are almost identical to the tests so quite easy to pass those. If he gives a paper or big assignment start early, not that hard just very time consuming. All in all very fun.
Professor McCambridge is the best teacher. Attendance is not mandatory, but he collects points as extra credit and there were a few times he checked his roster. Raise your hand when he asks questions about the notes. 4 test, but the final does not count if you make an A :) Start projects ahead of time and utilize all the help for extra credit!
He is a nice professor. Although you do have to read the notes. All of the questions are from the notes and write one paper. Doesnt curve the grade. So, get ready from the first day. He do give extra credit but the number of his students is too high in the class that everyone doesnt get that chance.
He is very rude and boring. He spends the whole class time talking about his life and all these crazy stories, sometimes goes over class time like if we don't have another class to go to. The only good thing is the class was easy all you have to do is study his notes.
He is boring and his lectures are awful. His first half of semester is about telling us about how awful Britain was and rest would be about slamming modern politics. He gives a lot of extra but don't be too happy because they won't be counted. You might see 110 score in your scantron but you will end up getting 100. Choose him as your last option.
ill start with the good, his tests are fairly easy, all you do is study his notes. He also gives extra credit if you read in class. the bad, there is this essay that is literally made for you to fail, the instructions are extremely complicated, no one is made to pass that. He also gets off topic a lot. He is rude. He gives food on the last day.
Nice guy but not a very good teacher. Goes off-topic in class a lot, refuses to discuss grades with you, doesn't give clear instructions or feedback, and swears heavily in class. Goes off on confusing tangents when asked for clarification. Made fun of us when we fretted about grades. Poorly organized. Didn't use textbooks. Not worth the stress.
I love how he teach his class , how creative he is and how he explained. You can easily follow. I wish he would teach History 1302 so I can have him again.
Do not take this class if you prefer keeping to yourself. He is very loud and calls on students to read or answer questions. Although he is very enthusiastic about US history, I find myself getting distracted and lost. You will not be able to write fast enough to take notes during lecture. Good luck.
Professor can be disorganized with his posting and wordings. Exams are not opened until due day and he forgot to open one. Can't work ahead since everything is not posted at once like more classes. Test questions comes from his study guides. Text book is more of an afterthought. Easy A for me... just have to adapt and put up.
Too much! Very unclear and disorganized with his assignments. Rubrics are so unclear, so impossible to excel in the class. Due dates arent explicitly listed, which makes it very difficult to keep up. Incredibly hard final essay that is very much so uncalled for.
