Great professor, will take him again. Class was fun and I learned a lot of history
Hes very flexable and if you show him that you are participating he will work with you
Great professor, allows you to take exams multiple times in case you mess up. Very understanding and teaches engagingly. Book not required. Totally recommend!
I started this class hoping that it wouldn't kill my GPA... but professor Potop did the exact opposite. you walk in class and get a good lecture. Come back next time and take a quiz that you know all the answers to and pass. He wants you to write a paper then do your best and you will pass. this is a class to take to boost your GPA.
Funny teacher. Told stories that make subjects easier to grasp. Very nice guy.
2 quizzes, 2 papers, 1 midterm, 1 final. He actually cares about his students and gives good lectures he makes the lectures understandable. He cares about students being on time especially on quiz days and turning in papers. He is good to those who show up to class listen and participate. The papers are not difficult he really works with you.
Show up for his class and you will be set. He cares about his students, very understanding. Gives clear instructions on how he wants you to write papers (only 2). Take him!
Excellent overall
the professor was great , really easy. Does not give much assignments all you have to do is come & pay attention in class... definitely would recommend to someone else.
As one of my first college courses I was very pleased to have a Professor so understanding. He made the class fun while giving you the most information as possible during the lectures.
Professor Potop is an excellent educator, know how to explain topics really well and briefly. It hard not to pay attention to him because the speeches he give out are very intriguing. Also he is very funny and charismatic. I'm other words if you need to take a class that falls under his categories choose him. He is the Best!!!
A class where you will learn but also enjoy.
He is an amazing professor. I would highly recommend everyone to take this course. Outside of class, he would help to revise my essay papers, and gave great feedback. Super down to Earth, and very funny. Show up, and you'll pass. It is impossible to get anything lower grade than an A. If I could take this course with this professor again, I would.
THIS IS BY FARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD AND I AM NOT EXAGGERATING!!!!!! HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS, HE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT HISTORY, HE CARES ABOUT YOUR TIME, HE HEARS YOU WHEN YOU HAVE A CONCERN OR A QUESTION, A VERY FAIR GRADER. JUST DO THE WORK HE REQUESTS AND YOU WILL DO JUST FINE!!!!!! A+++ TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT.
He is the best professor there is . You can not go wrong. Not only do you learn but he makes it fun ! I would definitely take him again !
Professor Potop is the most amazing professors I've had. I say this to all my teachers because I see them all not as professors, I see them as family. We are all human beings with feelings. This professor is the most caring, he is hilarious, loves his passion for US History. He is overall an amazing guy in general. He wants his students to succeed!
There is no way you can get a C in this class. 2 quizes, 1 midterm and final (3 pages at home) research paper (4pages) He allows you to re do it if is not an A grade paper. Super easy. The student that gave him the bad review is a liar. We never had so much work. He is an amazing teacher and funny.
DONT WASTE YOU TIME TAKING THIS PROFESSOR UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT of FREE TIME TO DO 20 PAGES OF A RESEARCH PAPER IN 3 DAYS, 10 PAGES OF ESSAY EVERY WEEK, FINAL TEST IN 2 HOUR WRITE A ESSAY OF 6 PAGES AND PLUS QUIZZES OF 10 QUESTION AND YOU HAVE TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION MINIMUM 6 SENTENCES. HE VERY UNFAIR. NEVER ANSWER YOUR EMAIL. DONT FOLLOW THE SYLL
This is an amazing professor! He really cares about his students and you can tell he wants all of his students to succeed. He explains things well and whenever you have a question, he will be happy to answer. There are 2 quizzes, 1 midterm, a final paper which is 3 pages, and a research paper which is 4 pages. He doesnt assign a ton of work.
Why are you writing Negative remarks? NONE ARE TRUE Prof Potop wants everyone to success, at the end of class he alway ask if anyone needs help or has questions, maybe you were not ready for this class! He never told us to write a 6 pg essay in class or how many sentences on test or a 20pg essay in 3 days He's a Very Good Prof Take his class
There is no way you won't get an A in this class. 2 quizzes, 1 midterm and final (3 pages at home) research paper (4pages) He allows you to redo it if it is not an A grade paper. Super easy. To RateMYProfessor, you should erase the student that gave him the bad review because it is a lie. We never had a 20-page research paper due in 3 days.
These negative reviews are just sad. Sad that people are trying to ruin this professor's job. He is a great professor who helps you pass his class more than most other teachers I have.
Very informal, and understanding of student's needs. We had 2 quizzes, the reviews being the exact same thing, and the final was take home. As long as you show up and pay attention you should get an A.
Would take him again.
Pro. Potop is one of the best I had the pleasure taking at Broward college. He is passionate and knowledgeable. Gives you quick and concise feedback (even at 2AM!). He is very clear about his expectations and keeps it fair and simple. Attendance is mandatory and you will enjoy his engaging lectures. Work load is very fair. recommended 100%
Great professor. Knows his work and truly a great professor. Recommends the best movies on class subjects as well. He made the class interesting and engaged with us.
i took him summer b term for AMH2020 and it was honestly one of the easiest classes and that is coming from someone who hates history. He works with his students and even though the class is fair you still learn because he makes it so understanding and relatable. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT! great professor!
Awesome class. Plenty of opportunity's for extra credit. If you dont get an A its on you.
Great professor. Was taking some credits here u til my university started in the fall. Exactly what teaching should be - funny, direct, points out your errors, and you ACTUALLY learn. Would recommend anybody take him.
This professor is amazing. He genuinely cares about his students and do whatever it is to help you pass! his lectures are interesting and the work he gives is straight forward. If you can take him, I highly recommend it .
I really enjoyed taking this class, you can tell Professor Potop cares a lot about his students and teaching as well. The Professor is very helpful and I would recommend this class for anyone that is looking to take this course.
Best professor I've Ever had. This man knows his work and truly is dedicated to informing you in a very enjoyable way for the subject. Answers emails and gives credit. Show up and pass. Covid happened and he was very understanding telling to not but the book and giving PowerPoints, videos, and movies. His lectures are the best everyone always engag
I loved his class. Anyone that gives him a bad rating either failed his class or did not listen to him.
HIGLY recommend! No other professor ever showed so much interest and truly cared about my success. Professor Potop offered extra credit until the last day of class and made sure he gave us every opportunity to succeed!!
I have to say professor michael was very understanding he didn't require a text book like most professors. he started every class 15min late just for students that were getting off work so that they didn't miss anything . he made sure the lectures and PowerPoints he had for each class was very thorough. he even has touring sessions on ASC.
Professor Potop is an AMAZING Professor no matter what bad reviews you read. He is genuinely nice guy. He gives essay's as quizzes and test's, but don't let scare you take your time and don't wait till the last minute. He is funny and makes history sooooo interesting. I highly recommend taking him. You will get an easy A in this class.
Micheal Potop is an amazing teacher that truly cares about what is best for the entire class while coming off as a very funny and relaxing professor.
Michael Pontop is an all around liked and respected professor that will teach a lot about American history. Sebastian Lauriello
Taking classes during a pandemic isn't ideal. But professor Potop made it easy. The lectures are informational and he gives you everything you need to succeed in whatever he assigns. The textbook was mentioned but wasn't required. And participation is key for this class! It was highly enjoyable , and I believe you won't regret taking this class!
Professor Potop is an EXTREMELY nice teacher. He is very light on homework and is super supportive. He will literally try his best to give you an A. Of course, you have to do the work but it's not as boring as you would think history homework is. That's something else, the class is actually interesting!
This is by far the worst history professor I've ever had. He spends more than half of his class time complaining that students aren't using their cameras or speaking up, will constantly shift the blame on his poor teaching practices to the students, and absolutely fails at properly communicating deadlines. Inconsistent grader aswell. Stay away.
Professor Potop is the best professor that I had in college. I am not a history buff and I was afraid of long papers, his are very easy and short and he reduced the Final because of Covid to 500 words. He has 2 quizzes (answers given in advance on powerpoints) and 2 paragraph discussions. Very easy A and gives extra credit
By far the easiest and most fascinating history class. Potop is a great professor and he actually helps you to get an A by giving you extra credit and allows you multiple re-submissions for papers that are under 90%. You have to take him to boost your GPA, super easy with little work. You need to show up and fallow his excellent lectures.
I strongly recommend this professor, he is absolutely amazing. He is always accessible even outside classes, very caring and inspirational.
Professor Potop is one the best professor that I had so far, he is a very great professor and cares about his students. He is very professional and I would definitely recommend any students to his class. He really tries his best for everyone in his class to pass with a very good grade. I wish all my professors were like him.
Professor Michael Potop is the most coolest , amazing ,funny , & understanding professor. This course was very easy to pass all you have to do is read the PowerPoints attend class online and do a little research , the book isn't mandatory , if you fail this class is because your being lazy there's no reason why you cant pass with an A literally !!
Professor Potop is a real gem. He take care of students. He is funny and straight forward. Is not reason to fail this class. So far one of my best broward professor. I am glad to take this class with him. Not regret it. He is so nice and kind. Thank you professor.
This class has been one of my best classes since I started college. The professor was always on time and was always prepared for students' questions. The way he graded was always fair and the test topics were discussed in class. I recommended this professor to other students because he is excellent.
One of the best professors I've ever had. You won't find a more caring Professor out there. He's very straight forward & tells you what is expected from day one! He's funny & makes the class relatable. His quizzes & tests are easy and relate to his lectures. He goes out of his way to make sure everyone is on the same page. Great guy!
Very fair professor he goes above and beyond to ensure your success in his class. Although, you will have to work to earn your grade, he is great at explaining class material.
Professor Potop is the best professor that I had in college by far! Extremely understanding. Hes are very easy and straight to the point. Was extremely caring when it came to the Final because of Covid. He has 2 quizzes (answers given in advance on powerpoints) and 2 paragraph discussions. .gives extra credit As well!
He's understanding, fair, and an effort based grader. I took this class in a STEM heavy semester, it might be the most enjoyable class. Show up, do the work, show enthusiasm towards the subject and it's really as straight forward as that for an A. Would highly recommend anyone to take professor Potop.
Professor Potop made his AMH 2020 class very enjoyable, you can tell that he truly has a passion for history! Nonetheless he is very understanding and genuinely wants his students to succeed. Would take again for sure!
I would definitely take this professor again! He always makes it fun and his lectures are always easy to follow with. The few tests he does give are easy, straightforward and fair! 10/10 would definitely recommend!
This Professor is the best hands down. I am an international student and he was teaching an American history class, he made is really easy for me to pass. I would recommend him anyone.
He gives time to review information from our quiz that, gives quiz info in advance before the next class, and gives us more time to do the work at home, and finals and midterm was always prepared in advanced. Allows rewrites for a better grade and bonuses.
Professor putop was very flexible and prepared all his students with all the quiz and test criteria. He also gave me a retest which is unlike most professors so I highly recommend professor putop
Professor potop gave all information about test and quiz before hand and also let me retake a test for him.
Professor Potop is definitely one of/ if not my favorite professors i have ever had. He really cares about everyones grade and just is always there for us even if its not school related. He understands that this is just another class we have to take to graduate, and thats what he is trying to do, help us graduate. If you have the chance, TAKE HIM!!
Honestly a great professor. He is great at doing lectures and makes it very easy to understand the material. The work he gives is easy and as long as you do it your sure to pass the class. 10/10 would recommend.
This class was a breeze! I was worried at first because of Covid and it was required to be in class, not online. He was very easy going and gave us all information from the first day as to how the class would go. He is also very nice and knowledgeable of the subject and makes history easy!
Professor Potop is actually a very good teacher and cares about what he teaches and when you take his exams he tell you whats going to be on them and gives you time to prepare. When it comes to the work you just have to make sure it is in on time and the work really isnt anything hard just show up to class and youll get an A
Take him, you wont regret if you need an AMH2020 take him definitely. Its an easy A!
This class was absolutely easy. He lectured a lot, and the material was very clear and understandable. I enjoyed learning with Professor Potop.
No textbook was necessary for the class. So if you come to class, take down a good amount of notes and complete the assignments posted on D2L, then the class would be a stress free class and you finish the semester with a good grade.
Professor Potop made class time interesting and fun to learn about American history I greatly recommend Professor Potops American history class if you are looking for an easy A during the pandemic just be sure to complete all assignments.
Professor Potop was a real gem, his class was great and he helped me a lot. His history class was absolutely great and learned a great deal about things that happened before and after the Great Depression, WWI, WWII and far beyond. Thank you so much!
Professor Potop, was one of the best professor I had by far. His lectures were amazing and very informative. Quizzes were an easy A. Also, you can resubmit papers that were not an A for a better grade. I highly recommend him.
Professor Potop was the BEST!!!!! If i could take him for my other classes, I would. Literally there were no test. For quizzes he gives you answers so you get A. Just take him, he is so much fun.
This class was hands-down the easiest history class I've taken, instructions were always clear. If you ever had any doubts whatsoever, just talk to him and he'll make time to help you out! He really cares that we make something of ourselves, it's an honor to have his class and see him wear his little tilted hat! :)
I don't know man. I took him because I was confident in his Rate My Professors reviews, but honestly, he is a hit or miss for many. He started off cool, ended up a mess. He confused everyone, isn't clear on assignments, gets off track. It's really hard to keep up with him and his lectures. HONESTLY RUN.
The professor is passionate about his work and how well his students do in his class. He will help you with extra credit whenever needed. His class was straight forward and easy to pass if you follow his directions. The papers are very short and easy. He had great lectures that contain the answers for the quizzes. Cant go wrong with this prof.
I took Professor Potops AMH2020 course during the COVID-19 Pandemic and it was such a stress reliever. Professor Potop is very understanding and cares for his students during my time with Professor Potop I have seen him try to make sure all his students pass and doesnt want to make the class a burden. Hes also a great teacher great lectures !
Professor Potop is one of the best history teachers I've had. He answers all my questions in detail. He is passionate about what he teaches. He even gives extensions for the midterm! He also gives most of the time the answers through his lectures for the exams and quizzes.
This class was amazing, Professor Potop is a phenomenal teacher whom I enjoy logging into class for, he makes class super interesting and although his lectures are long he doesn't bore me with facts! He is available after class hours. I emailed him and within an hour he either called me or emailed me back to help me out with whatever my issue was.
I ended with a good grade but I was so frustrated the whole semester. He doesnt give clear grading criteria. Inconsistent grader. It took him a month to start putting in grades. Very disorganized. When asked details about assignments, he said check the syllabus, which had no answers. Everyone asked for clarification. And I attended class.
The professor has great teaching ethics. Will explain everything thoroughly . Great class and professor.
He is the best of the best. One enjoys History with Professor Potop. You will definitely enjoy this class. I recommend him 1000%. Great job teaching!!!!!!
Honestly Prof. Potop has been the best professors I've ever had so far! I took him for a two hour session 2 summer course and never did I feel stressed out or worried about keeping up with the class. His lectures are very fun and inclusive, the assignments are easy and he goes over quizzes, exams, etc. before you do them to make sure you pass.
Professor Potop is amazing. His lectures are very engaging, he tries his best to relate history to current events. He is always making jokes in class and encourages participation.

I absolutely loved Professor Potop's class. He made history hilarious and relatable. He is a fantastic professor. His lectures are entertaining, he explains everything in detail and makes sure everyone is on the same page. His assignments are simple and he is willing to help you if you need it. I recommend him for anyone taking a history course.
This professor taught very well. He gave clear instructions and was very easy to understand . If you didnt understand he was more than happy to explain again differently. Complete and submit the work on time and you should be great! I would highly suggest anyone takes him.
This prof is so nice and care about student , he always make sure you understand. The assignments are easy. Two test and some quiz easy A and you will learn a lot. Take him you won't regret.
Professor Potop is amazing! There was not one class that was boring. Our class discussions were deep and funny. Sometimes we would get carried away in the discussions. Quizzes and Tests were easy if you paid attention in the class. Overall he is pretty great!!
I learned a lot from this class. Typically I'm not a fan of history but professor Potop really makes it interesting. He's a very reasonable professor and extremely understanding. He wants his students to succeed and helps get them to a passing grade.I very much appreciated his class and all the help he offers. I would 100% recommenced his class.
He actually wants his class to pass and I very much appreciate that.
Hes very caring, as long as your doing your part, you should easily pass this class with an A. I would definitely take this class again.
This was by far the best professor I've ever had!! He was not only hilarious and caring but he made sure we all understood all the information that was given.

Hands down the best professor I've had at Broward College. If I can have Prof. Potop for all of my classes, I would. GREAT PROFESSOR!!!
He is great.
Professor Potop is not only an experienced professor but also very caring. Professor is not test heavy but participation is key to passing his course. Professor Potop lectures are not only entertainment but easy to grasp. With the right amount of discipline and effort, I cant see why anyone would not be able to not pass his class.
Very understanding and helpful with everyone. His grades are fair as long as you follow his guidelines. Keeps the class interesting with his stories.
Great professor!
He's a great professor and I would definitely take him again. Show up and participate and you will pass the class.
Professor Potop was a very easy going professor . The work load itself was not a lot of course if you stay on track and follow along in class. Attendance is mandatory as you do get points for attendance and it can hurt your grade lightly if youre not attending. 1 big research paper and a mini final paper . Easy class just follow along always!
Helpful and informative
Very nice teacher. He provides clear lectures and interesting classes.
Great Professor. He cares much more about teaching students and lecturing than he does about grading. If you show up to class and pay attention he will make sure you get an A.
Good teacher, very nice and motivating. He is very funny and expresses his passion for teaching history. You learn a lot and he leaves time to answer all questions in between the lecture and after class. All you need is to do your work and be in class. Late work is not accepted. Very very very funny.
Good teacher and very helpful
Lectures are solid, he makes the material fun the learn. there are a lot of papers, so be prepared for that
He was the first professor in a long time that I was really excited to learn from. I usually dread my classes but Mr. Potop's teaching style made me enjoy the class and he did everything he could to help his student's pass. If you have a chance to take his class please do it, you will not regret it!
Professor Potop was an overall great professor! He managed to make his course simple and manageable for all his students.

His the best professor ever, his amazing and he will help you out give out extra credit. And never go back on his word.
He is a very fun and funny professor. I love learning in his class. He makes class fun and is very informative.
Great teacher who is caring, cooperative and wants students to succeed. He's knowledgeable and explains class material well.
Professor Potop has the best humor I was never bored. His assignments were pretty easy so long as you manage your time properly to finish the paper and is awesome with bonus points. Impossible to fail this class he is very clear about due dates but the bonuses help you a ton. He is willing to answer all your questions but you must pay attention.
Professor Potop is great to take. He explains things clearly and ends class early. As long as you participate in class, he will lower the number of questions on the quiz. There are three quizzes with one question to which he gives you the answer.
Professor Potop has a genuine care and interest in History which is clearly shown throughout his passionate lectures. All of the content he delivers, he does in a non-bias matter which truly tells both sides of history & not just the winning side. I am not a history buff, but even I felt the urge to confess to Professor Potop about how good he is.
Professor Potop is an amazing instructor who truly cares about his students and does everything in his ability to help them pass. He really gets you interested in the topic hes teaching; he uses different forms of media and is hilarious in his lectures. I would definitely take his class again.
Gives bonuses, and extra credit opportunities, the best teacher AMH teacher hands down. Very well mannered, easy to talk too.
This professor is the best teacher you will ever have. He's very passionate of what he teaches during his lectures, keeping them interesting and clear. His grading rubric is clear as well and he offers extra credit to help students, even by just participating by speaking in class. Hands down my favorite teacher I've ever had.
I will never forget what I learned in this course. Every piece of information and knowledge was delivered in a potent matter that made this experience meaningful.
Professor Potop is a very good professor who always offers to help his students and does his best to make sure everyone has a understanding for the lesson of the day. His is very inspirational and his lectures really allow me to feel more passionate about American history and why we should learn more about it.
This was a great class and a great professor. The lectures were great and he was very instructive. Another thing is attendance is very important. All around great professor. I would recommend him to any of my peers.
He was very understanding and nice! His lessons were clear! I promise you, this professor is worth taking and he will definitely teach you a lot about history :)

I highly recommend to take this class woth Professor potop, he made it very easy and understanding, and he always willing to help you with your grade
Professor Potok is a great professor that cares about his students. Not a tough grader. Review the the quiz answer before taking it. For papers gives a lot of time to completed. And offered extra credit!!!
Professor Potop is a great professor, classes are very focused around ensuring that you actually learn the material and not necessarily about just getting a grade. I definitely learned from his lessons and appreciated his methods, he is very considerate that his students already have a lot on their plate. I definitely would recommend his class
Great professor, very accommodating. He really worked with students to make sure they understood and related it to the real world. World definitely take again.
This class was one of the easiest classes I have taken at BC. All you have to do is show up and listen. His instructions are very clear and his assignments are straight forward. He helps you in advance with assignments and will help you out with your grade as long as you put effort in.
He was a great professor that clearly cared for his students grades. The grading in this class is fair and it isnt too difficult as long as you pay attention to the lectures. I would definitely have him as a professor again
I took professor Potop for AMH2010. This class is so easy it should not be taken as a full course. I wasted so much time in this class when I could've been studying for other classes. My entire grade was made up by quizzes that he gave us the answer to, test that he gave us the answer to, and my overall grade relied on this review.
Professor Potop is an amazing teacher. He is straight to the point on what he expects of you as a student. A long as you show up to class and take notes you will pass with an A. The mid-term and Final are not multiple choice you do have to write. You also have to do a research paper. He is very knowledgeable of what he teaches.
Potop is a very caring professor, and his guidance is paid with your respect for his class, your participation, and your attendance. He is straightforward and loves making jokes. Class work includes a 1000 word research paper, a midterm, final, and bonuses to help you succeed.
This teacher is chill and makes history digestible; I was very engaged when listening to lectures. It almost sounds like you are listening to a story instead of a lesson in class. Absolutely no textbooks are required, and he provides his students with multiple ways of contacting him. Very respectful and welcoming.
Professor Potop is one of the best professors if you're taking American history. He is very knowledgeable, the lectures are well done, and he explains each lecture for better understanding. He is inspirational, and if you know the lessons and take notes with class participation, you will get a good grade in his class.
Very cool teacher. I took an afternoon class which I went to after a long day of work but he made the class very enjoyable. He cracks jokes every now and then that you cant help but to pay attention and laugh. I personally suck at history but I was able to learn a lot from his lectures. Very easy going and understanding of our time. Thank you!
Great class! I suck at history and have a very busy work schedule but professor Potop was very understanding of our time as a class and kept lectures simple and straight to the point. Going to an afternoon class after a long day of work would have been dreadful but he cracks jokes every so often to keep the class engaded.Great lectures, easy going!
The most inspirational Professors I've ever taken at Broward College. It is so amazing the knowledge he has! His lectures are amazing. You learn so much. His grading style is clear. Always be early to his class and respectful. Participation counts. I simply would love to take another class from Professor Potop! Take his class, you won't regret it!
Profesor Potop has a great grasp on the subject and an even great grasp of keeping the students engaged. He is willing to help inside and outside of class. Clearly tells you what he requires for assignments and tests but is willing to work with you around life happenstances.
Professor Protop's class is a very easy class to take. Participation is essential if you want to be pass the class. There are a very few assignments. He gives you the assignments in advance. Mostly the quiz review is the quiz. He also gives a lot of extra credit.
Such an easy teacher, I'd take him over and over. Just pay attention. Attendance counts for him so don't skip or you wont pass. Thats the only thing he's strict about which makes sense since everything else is easy. We watched documentaries and movies related to the lectures and he gives extra credit. Cares about students.
Professor Potop is super nice and funny, he is also very respectful and demands the same respect. He doesn't like people using the phone in class. His exams are super easy. I really recommend it.
Great professor very knowledgeable and friendly.
If you need a history class, he's easy to pass and is pretty nice. Puts on movies. When we have a quiz or test, he tells us whats going to be on them beforehand and goes over it multiple times.
Professor Potop was fair and respectful to the class. He gives clear directions. His lectures are informative and detailed. He provided clear understanding of the class expectations. He is very kind and understanding. I would highly recommend this professor. One of the best I had here at Broward College.
Professor Potop is a great professor, I really enjoyed his class and was surprised at how and easy it was to pass. He plays a lot of movies, engages with the class, and is funny. My only concerns were 1) he did not give a syllabus 2) he was late to class often 3) and did not explain grades. other than that he was pretty laid back and a cool guy.
Professor Potop is amazing take him and you won't regret it.
The primary difference explained in capitalism vs communism is that capitalism is an economic system that allows private ownership and promotes the idea of a free market; in contrast, communism favors collective ownership and restricts the free market with government intervention portraying a planned economy.
Just show up to class don't use your phones and pay attentions then you can easily get an A! Also provides extra credit opportunities that you can use, and does review before every quiz and test!

Would not recommend him
Professor Michael, is very passionate about his lectures, you won't fall sleep during class and you will learn all the classes something new. Even though there are few evaluations in his class, He makes you want to come back to know what is next.
Not gonna lie this class was way too easy bro. Literally had no homework from what I can remember. Just had a couple easy quizzes with 2 questions. An easy final is rare but sheesh. Also whoever rated him a 1 on December 9 literally failed the class because they were always on their phone and girl couldn't pay attention for the 2 quizzes and final.
Professor Potop is amazing at what he does. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise, and is passionate to teach history. You will not be loaded with work in this class. Pay attention, take notes, and the quizzes will be a breeze. There is no homework, and only two big assignment one being a 2000 word essay. Take his class.
Take Professor Potop's courses if you want to pass the FCLE on the first attempt! Professor Potop is a walking encyclopedia of American and World History. His assignments are manageable even if you're taking higher-level courses. Each lecture has a lot of material, but his personality and jokes make the lectures enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Excellent teacher! If you are going to carry history you should carry it with him. Apart from the class, he seeks to help you with the FCLE. He truly cares about his students and wants the best for us. Super interesting classes. A fair 5/5 this teacher
Take Professor Potop if you get the chance! Everything is cut and clear, come to class on time and everytime and you'll be fine! He doesn't require us to take notes but it'd be beneficial to do so. We had a midterm presentation and final paper. He gave us quizzes and went over them prior to. He keeps class fun so I would ABSOLUTELY take him again!
This professor talks a lot during his lectures to the point where it is very easy to get lost in what he is saying. The work is incredibly easy though and the test are nothing to worry about. Just beware of being very bored in his class.
Only took him because someone recommended me to take him big mistake!!!!! He comes late to class everyday and if u come late he will still mark you absent...... Once you get on his bad side get ready to fail.
Worse professor ever.
I took this class last semester and I took my literacy test right after the course and passed with flying colors. No textbook is needed. easy grader and quizzes are reviewed in advanced with class. Proff gave extra credit and its an easy A.
Throughout my academic career Professor Michel Potop one of the most reasonable person I ever can through. He was fair to each an every student who participated and taught the lectures in a friendly manner, interacted with the students, quizzes were easy and discussed beforehand in the class.
Great teacher. Mr:Potop was very clear on what was needed to pass the class. Gave the class lots of extra credit work to improve our grades. 10 out of 10 teacher helped me with all my problems in class.
Straightforward, Easy Grader, Efficient lectures, easygoing. Overall great professor would definitely recommend.
Class was enjoyable and reviewed over quizzes

I never take my time out of my day to write/rate a professor, however if you do decide to take his class...don't even think about it JUST TAKE HIM! If you just do the work and follow his instructions, you'll pass! he's completely straight forward with everything! TAKE HIM!
I was concerned about going back to school after 10 years but having class with Professor Potop helped ease all my worries. He makes the class fun and I got to learn a lot I didn't know about history. If you go to class and pay attention there is no reason not to get an A.
Professor Potop's class is super engaging thanks to his passion and wit. No textbook needed - just pay attention and you'll ace the quizzes. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for study prep.
He is an amazing lecturer and understands students.
This professer is super chill makes the subject super intresting, and is super understanding I highly recommend.
He is a good professor and he is a such a nice person, he really cares about his students.
He is very understanding and gives detailed lectures.
I recommend this professor he is such a nice person and really cares about this class.
He cares for each student's success and gives detailed lectures to help you understand course material.
He cares about his students and he is a nice professor
Very good professor, he wants his students to succeed and his lectures are very understandable and he will help you if you get stuck
Potop was a down to earth professor that wanted nothing more than his students to succeed, his love for history shines through his teaching.
As long as you do your homework, you are good to go. Also, paying full attention in class is a goal. He is really nice, and if you have any questions, he will answer them.
He makes sure that you are prepared if asked any questions about history. He will go over information again if you didn't catch it the first time. He takes his time and sees how everyone is doing in the class.
Through my experience, he makes every lecture entertaining by adding jokes, down side he have pop quizzes so you can't just skip classes but good news he will give answers to the quiz before you take it. Also the only hw you will have is just writing for the midterm and Final
This teacher is amazing and truly cares for his students. He does every possible thing so that a student can pass with an A+. He's funny and very straight forward with what he requires from you. I don't know why another comment meant when he said that this teacher is bipolar because it's false. 10/10 teacher!! Take him if you want an A+!
I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about Professor Potop. Class was a breeze! Interactive, funny, interesting and easy if you wanted it to be. He was straight forward not sure how anyone could get anything less than a A if you did you work and showed up for yourself! TAKE HIS CLASS!!! 10/10 I would def take again lol
All you have to do is go to class, Quiz are easy he goes over the question's before you start, gives you extra as well, makes everything easy to understand you CANNOT FAIL THIS CLASS.
Great teacher! only has quizzes and they are 5 questions that he reviews right before the test We did one landmark powerpoint which was so easy there really wasn't much work the final was an essay.. but you cant convince me he actually reads them cus i got 100 for repeating the same thing 500 times😂
