Nobody in the class is doing well. It seems to me that if an entire class is praying for Cs, it's the prof. that's faulty. Oh, and don't be in the hospital on a test day. Not being a school function, it won't be excused.

He rambles on about stuff and it doesn't always make sense, so I have to read the book when it comes to his test, he's very nice, but I wish he would just stick to the coursework and not get off subject

He has no knowledge of history at all. He puts events that have nothing to do with each other and makes it appear that they happen at the same time. Like the Battle of Troy and Socrates fought during the golden age of Rome and other miscelaneous stuff that is weird. It's like he takes a timeline, cuts it up, and then replices it back together.

His knowledge of history was very limited. He mixes up his facts and tends to read out of books he finds interesting. While they relate to history and are often of by famous ancient historians, I would rather not have to try to piece together my notes together with duct-tape from 3rd century texts. His tests are hard and his lecture hard to follow.

bad bad bad!!

He is probably a smart man but his lectures are confusing and choppy. He grades essay extremely hard and leaves no helpful comments for improvement. I was excited about this class, but he pretty much murdered any enjoyment. Avoid this class!

Horrid Prof! Bad essay topics with worse grading system for them. Non-responsive to email for online classes. Felt I had to fight for each grade posted. Not worth taking online classes from him, look elsewhere!

Worst teacher ever, I took him online. No reviews, almost had to memorize the book. Only gave two online quizess which helped w/the grade since you can use your book. Will never take him again.

This was the worst class I have ever had. (And that's saying a lot!) I had this as a CDI class. All that he ever did was tell us to read 6 chapters and then we tested over them. There was no review, and really no direction. I am a History major, and I love history. This is the first time I have not made an A in a class.

I have had a lot of teachers. This one is awful. 4 Tests, read the chapters, and that is it. No review, no insight, no help, no anything.

I took this class as ITV. His test were difficult. His lecture notes did help, but he seemed to draw his questions from very minor events. He does give opportunty for extra points, which is the only reason I passed. But he offered no help for review on the tests. I do not recommend taking his class.

The worst class I every took....teacher always negative.

This class was horrible! He wouldnt help with any questions i had. He would get mad when i would have questions and didnt really try to help me to understand. This was the worst class ive ever taken. I studied day and night and still would fail his tests. He would never tell me what to study for he would only say read 6 chapters and then test.

HORRIBLE TEACHER!! Run for your life, this is the worst online HIST 1301 you could ever take! I have never made a C in a class but this class changed all that. No clarity on test, no review, no help!

I highly DO NOT recommend this teacher. He is not friendly, no help at all, and his class is an absolute waste of time. He does no teaching and the test questions come out of left field and are about random events that were barely covered at all. He gets pleasure out of his students failures.

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM!

Words cannot explain the frustration and aggravation I had as his student. I took the "team" taught online class with a LIT prof who was just as worthless as this guy. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS unless you absolutely have NO OTHER OPTION! I LOVE history and he almost ruined it for me. I have taken many online classes and know they can be taught better.

Tests are very difficult. There are 4 of them and none are dropped. Lecture notes concentrate on specific topics (IE Russian Revolution, Lenin) and you are responsible for learning the rest from the assigned readings and online resources. Study guides are provided but they are only a fraction of what is on the test.

no help even lecture notes were full of sarcasym and do not help at all on exams

It was clear when started this class it would be just like everyone has said. I was lucky enough to drop it in time and avoid this horrible teacher. Rude in e-mails, ridiculous testing and grading procedures, and an overall bad feeling from this guy should keep everyone far away from him. STAY AWAY :)

This teacher is not helpful at all. The book he used is out of print, you have to search for the book the TCC Bookstore does not carry it, and the test do not reflect his posted notes and his lecture notes. He doesn't assist his students when having difficulties his response is drop the class. RUDE!!!! No Study Notes!!!!!

Too many chapters for one test. I had trouble remembering 165 pages of people, places, and dates for the first test!

This professor is tough. Thought questions are difficult and the last one of the semester was not clear. I had to study constantly due to the amount of information packed into one test. The online lecture notes cover a fraction of the reading material.

did not like this teacher. didn't explain things, and didn't focus on one topic at a time. didn't give extra credit. also was very boring

His lectures are not clear...His test do not enclude any book reading.

This has got to be the worst teacher out there! I seriously think something is wrong with him!! He gives you outlines for lectures, but he skips around and loses thought process, and his test questions are way out in left field! Hardly any of it is even covered in class!! Not to mention the book that is barely used!! DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!

Terrible teacher do not take!!! No assistance he believes we are adults and we shouldn't need any assistance and hates to be asked question his answer for everything is "Drop the class."

I love history but not this instructor. The online lecture notes are almost humorous to read; he has a very high opinion of himself. He probably reads this website and the lower the ratings the happier he is.

I didn't heed the warnings about NOT TAKING THIS TEACHER but DO NOT TAKE...SERIOUSLY...he is a waste of your time. He is rude and unkind and not willing to help. Someone tell me HOW IS HE STILL TEACHING?

Wow, almost ruined my grade point average. Nice guy, but 10% is from the book. All the rest is from lecture. I know you are thinking, these guys didn't try hard enough. Not true, I feel sorry for anyone who takes this professors classes.

Such an awful teacher, a let down to the other faculty at TCC. I took a DL class, he was 100% absent, never updated a thing. I would email and ask questions and ask for help and he would just say "read the book more" He doesnt care if you pass, in fact it seems like he hates teaching, hates his students! DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER if you dont have to

Took the CDI class and was lost from the start.Very disorganized and appears to be disinterested in helping students.I have a 3.56 GPA and dropped out of fear.Very argumentative and sarcastic in his replies to requests for clarification or help.Tests covered material not found in text or lecture notes.

Very Confusing. Nearly impossible to take notes since he goes on rabbit trails and never finishes a topic. Story put in more of his opinion than what was in the text, which was hardly ever used. He is not helpful and impossible to get a hold of.

Do not take online! very discouraging...

Very discouraging, non of his notes comes in test, clarity is so poor. Please don't take online or if you can dont take him. H eactually need to sit back and assess himself and everything students are writing here. A good teacher looks out for the interest of his or her students. He made history my enemy. :(

This was the worst class I've ever taken! The exams are ridiculous and don't go over the materials he gives you. I took this class online and he didn't even set up a discussion board so we couldn't talk to other students. When I talked to him he said he couldn't help me because I obviously don't know the material. I HAD a 3.8gpa before this class.

Online quiz easy. Test very hard. His lectures are expected to be memorized for the test.

Assignment completely irrelevant to History. There are absolutely no reviews for his tests. You better memorize the chapters and the lectures. He obviously designs the tests for you to fail unless you memorize every single thing in the reading. Terrible teacher, do not take his class!!!!

Do not take this class online. History is my favorite subject, before this class I had a 3.5, worst teacher I've had, no discussion boards, no reviews, the exams cover miscellaneous stuff that does not even cover the pertinent information you read. He seems to not care whether his students fail or not, at least those online, very disappointing.

The worse ever! Super hard, provides no help, no guides, no lecture, nothing. He basically expects you to memorize the book and other books that he never mentions. Stay far away from this professor.

Terrible teacher! I wish I would've read these comments before attending his class. His lectures from the time you sit down to the time you leave. Unfortunately, his tests have nothing to do with the 5 pages of notes you took during the class. Unless he's your absolute last resort do not take this class.

Not a good teacher at all. Avoid class!

Not a helpful instructor overloads you with teacher notes and then chapters and unless you memorize the book chances of passing are not going to happen. 50 min tests for 50 questions and most is not even important information most would retain. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS unless your only option

Horrible class. I will likely repeat with a good instructor. I am shocked we allow this in school systems nowadays. No reviews for tests. Just over some information in the 5 chapters you read. Too much information to memorize seriously. you have 50 min to do 50 questions. So you better know your stuff.

He is the most horrible teacher in the world. He is soft-spoken and very rude. His test and lectures are totally different. He is soft-spoken and very hard to understand. Instead of teaching, he states his opinion the whole time.

He's very nice but his class is so boring! I dozed off a couple of times and the test are really hard. All you do is listen to him ramble on, and if you don't read you'll fail. I ended up dropping his class. So not worth it!

No visual aids such as power points, slides shows, prezis, or anything. You have to read the book otherwise you will not pass. So boring. The tests are 50 questions and are very hard. Good Luck!

Worst teacher ever. I'm going to be getting my degree in history and this guy just messed me over big time. You better like art o Ya be prepared to learn from a book that he doesn't issue you. He gets mad when you ask a question during his lecture. No PowerPoint everything from his notes. If I can save one person I have done my job here.

Horrible

Difficult class. Test are really hard even if you study. Gives a lot of unnecessary notes. He is a bit sassy when it comes to asking questions... overall its a challenging class. Good luck!

Very boring lectures. Tests seem to be much different than what he lectures on. Takes participation grade for going to class but otherwise you're better off just reading the book. The silver lining is half of final are exact questions from previous tests which he gives back to you. Can say I did learn some history but my grade did not reflect it.

None of his tests come with any reviews. None of his tests take any material from either the book or his notes. Nothing is in any kind of order. His deadline dates he gives you are due at 6 AM the morning of the day he gives you, so in reality, unless you are up before Six in the morning, they are due the night before.

Do not need book! Tests are difficult to study for because there will be questions with "according to your professor's opinion..." Test will be from lectures and those are hard to follow because he jumps around (chronologically) and follows rabbit trails. ONLY GOOD THING about him is that you will get your grades quickly. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Teacher will never communicate with you, until the day after you missed an assignment. Only to say that you missed the assignment not to offer you any chances. Online tests are usually due at random times like 0900 am instead of the usual 11:59pm like normal online classes. The test questions are poorly worded. You will fail this class.

The entire course is based on exam grades. Exams that are only open for 1 day. I'm not sure if I'm alone in this, but don't most people take online classes for ease and accessibility? I prefer online because my busy lifestyle makes it difficult to be held down and confined to physically attending class. Shouldn't have to call into work for an exam.

DO. NOT. TAKE. Why didn't I read Rate my Professor BEFORE I took this course? I'm a great student, learned US Hist 1 very well, but nonetheless barely made a C. Why? Well, missed two quizzes because the deadline was at 6:30 am in the MORNING! Also, many test questions aren't in the assigned material at all- so you must guess the answers.

I took this class online. The tests are too hard. You are given a copy of the lecture notes, but maybe 20 out of 50 questions on the test are from the study guide. you must read the book. he will give you an outline to use. I would definitely recommend filling out the outline to study from. I will probably get a high C or low B. I get A's.

Hardest online class I have ever had to take. Assigns about 200 pages of reading and then comes the dreadful test! 50 questions in 50 minutes. I ended up dropping the class.

He was a decent person when I emailed about the textbook, but he was apparently very rude to the other students. His outlines barely pertain to his tests. I would study for a couple of days and still bomb the tests. You HAVE to read the textbook, and remember all the small details. This class was a summer course, and was extremely difficult.

Don't take him online. Only gives tests. 5 tests, he drops the lowest but I never made higher than a 75. Tests cover vague information that you wouldn't think is important, doesn't cover the important stuff. Lectures covered 10% of the material on the test, everything else is up to you to read. Shouldn't be a teacher. Again, don't take online.

I'm accustomed to online learning and I study accordingly. Without assignments between tests, it's difficult to know what he finds most important, even with the outline. Also, each of the tests is based on 4 chapters of reading and it's just too much information to study effectively, especially considering how obscure some questions are.

Dont like learning out of a textbook? Dont take this class. Gives long rambling lectures and never slows down for anyone. He only gives tests so youll never know how youre doing in the class until taking the tests. All info for the tests comes from the textbook. Not very friendly.

Pay more attention to the notes more so than the reading and you will do okay. Lots of memorization, prepare for each test as if you were a history major to try to make it out with a B, goodluck.

This is the hardest class that I have taken, Im sure for professors it is its really hard with Covid. This professor has only assigned the book to readcture notes which I find to not even correspond to the chapters theyre written after. All the tests are proctored, and are extremely hard and mostly true or false. I had to drop out mid semeste

Nothing he goes over for the test is not on the test.

If you actually want to learn do not take this class. If you might miss a class or two do not take this class because nothing is online. I maintained a mid 70 but ended with an F because online it said the final was on Wednesday when it was actually on Monday so I missed it along with several other students. Love history, Hated this class.

Awful class! The entire class is laid out where you read roughly 150 pages from the book over 3 weeks. Then you take a unit exam. Repeat. That's it! No activities no papers. You're given 1 chance to take the test. It is just impossible to remember that much info. Outline he provides is vague doesnt include everything youll need to know for the test

He just drones on for 7 classes then gives you an exam. No homework, no google slides, nothing. The test's written based on his opinion and stuff he expects you to know that he didn't talk about. Also pulls random irrelevant sentences out of the book as test questions.

If you want to learn, DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY. His tests are very opinion based and doesn't give clear study guides, if you miss a test then you may as well not show up to any of the other classes since one 0 will tank your grade heavily since he doesn't give out any homework. He speaks his mind and doesn't give any presentations of any sort. NO HELP.
