There are 3 quizzes, a final exam, and a semester essay with a minimum of 1000 words. I'm curently taking 2322 and struggling to get an A, but like I sais, it isn't easy, you do have to work hard.

Great summer course! Not bad for a history class.

Easy discussions and really easy essay quiz. He graded essay a bit hard.

Worst professor ever. Same thing, every single day.

Mr. Davis's class was okay! He assigned a lot of readings with short answer quizzes. 3-4 multiple choice test that are difficult because his lectures aren't very good. 1 essay that's not too hard. Must go to 2 current event sessions that are outside of class, then write responses. His class isn't overly hard, but it's a lot of work and mostly HW.

His lectures are very informative, but for the test (midterm and final) and online quizzes over novels, you have to read the textbook in order to really get a good grade. This isn't because he isn't a good teacher, but rather because he wants you to read too. He teaches in a way that makes you realize there is no clear good or evil in history.

Professor Davis is awesome. He makes online classes an easy and positive experience. I highly recommend his history courses. He mainly has 3 to 4 discussion post, and if you do what he ask then you will receive an A, one midterm, and a final. His classes (HIST1301 and 1302) are Super organized/simple, and he always responds fairly quick. TAKE HIM.

This Professor is one of the best at Lonestar College. He knows what he is doing. Always engaging and makes learning interesting and gives extra credit. If you respond to discussion posts on time with more then required 300 words which is simple and respond to classmate post he will give you a 10.5 out of 10 points. I recommend this Professor.!

You don't need to buy the textbook since he uses a free one you can find online. Tests are long, but not hard. All tests are done online.

LITERALLY THE BEST PROFESSOR. i am not good or interested in history but i loved this class. He gives you 4-5 assignments for every two weeks. They're not mandatory but the more you do the more points you receive which means the higher grade you get. Each unit there is a quiz, book quiz (super easy), discussion, and a document analysis. TAKE HIM!

Highly recommend! Took his class Spring 2020, switched online bc of covid-19, but he still made the transition smooth. Assignments are pick and choose, reading? yes. I skimmed through most of it and still got an A in the class. Not hard at all, if you failed, its bc you didn't do the work.

He was the easiest HIST 1302, it is more about doing some of the assignments. It is a point system based, the videos and lectures help a lot, and you don't need to buy the book he provides it for you. A bit of a lot of reading, depending what assignments you decide to do, but nothing that is too heavy that you won't pass. Definitely take him!

Professor Davis is a fantastic instructor with great course material that guides you along the way. If you're considering taking Professor Davis, I highly suggest you do so. He gives valuable feedback and several options for extra credit. If you don't make an A in his course it's because you simply didn't try. I really learned a lot in his course.

Professor Davis runs a straightforward course. Stay on top of the work and you'll do well. Unstuckstudy was super helpful for prepping and making the most of this class.

Professor Davis' class was very well organized, I took it in an 8 week session and I found it very manageable as long as you stay ahead of the readings and stay on top of the work. He uses a free textbook so that was also appreciated. I highly recommend Professor Davis for any course!

Amazing professor! Took for the summer 4 content quiz, 2 doc analysis, 2 short essay, 2 video quiz assignments (each had about 3 videos to watch). Offers a grace period for all assignments. Score 88% or higher you'll receive a 100% on the assignment. Fast grading, responds fast to emails, clear instructions. Textbook is FREE. Offers extra credit.

He's super nice and friendly. The structure of the course makes planning ahead super easy, and there are 1-3 assignments per week. Some of the modules are long, but you don't have to watch every video. The quizzes and source analyses are lengthy, but they're easy if you do the modules, and I just really appreciate that there are no essays.
