Professor Hinckley is easygoing, fair and funny. He explains big picture concepts using everyday examples. As long as you read the assigned readings and come to class prepared to discuss the material with your fellow classmates, you should earn an A in the class. I earned an A in both his HIST 1301 and 1302.

I took Mr. Hinckley's online HIST 1301 and 1302. You get the choice to take a test or write a 2-3 page essay for each of the 4 units. Tests are based on the textbook. Essays let you to include your opinion on historical events. You also make discussion board posts for each unit. Read and you'll be pleased with your grade.

US History 1301...Mr Hinckley took a subject that is boring and made it interesting! Great instructor, also he's a young person with a lot of knowledge on other subjects besides history as well. He likes to tell some true experiences that he's had in life. He is an instructor that wants to help you succeed!

Matt is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable professor who makes sure that every class is entertaining and fun. He literally stands up on tables and shows memes in class. You will definitley want to read through the textbook in order to pass the tests, but the essays are incredibly easy. Highly reccomend.

I am not a big fan of History, however professor hinckley made the class very interesting and not boring at all. I took him for winter course and even though the class was 3 hours long, it went by so quickly because he made class fun. No assignments or homework just tests which are not timed. The final is an 800 word essay which is super easy!
