There used to be no words to describe perfection...until now... Rodney Dillion!
Great Professor very helpfull, incredibly thorough. Cant believe they got such high quality professor to work at a community college! Highly recommend this professor and course!
THIS GUY IS THE HISTORY CHANNEL! HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE ABE LINCOLN! HES AN AWESOME TEACHER. I COULDNT SEE TAKING IT WITH ANYONE ELSE. HE LOVES IT AND YOU CAN TELL. AMAZING TEACHER. NOT THAT HARD EITHER, BUT I ACTUALLY DO MY WORK.
Fun class to take! He is an awesome person and a great professor! Really enjoyed the class!!!
He is a really nice down to earth guy. He knows his stuff, but be sure to take lots of notes and study them for the tests and quizes.
Knows and loves his history - don't recommend taking him at night, does expect you to write 2 papers, gives extra credit - if you pay attention and take notes you will do fine.
The best teacher. Funny and interesting. He's so nice and welinformed on everything over the last 200 years. Easy Class and so easy to follow. Don't take night classes though if you want to ever leave early...
Very interesting class. Professor Dillon is really interesting and mixes up lectures with videos and fun facts. It's probably not necessary to read the textbook but I did and did really well on quizes/ exams.
Hope he wins prof. of the year!
This guy is great. I HATED history in highschool but he made it so fun and interesting. He asks you to read the text book for homework, but I never did and half the time I didn't go to class, but I still got a B. Hiiiighly recommended.
Mr. Dillon is one of THE BEST professors at PBCC. He will not allow you to fail. He gives out the easiest opinion-based extra credit. I definitely recommend him. He's very understanding, patient, and oh so very helpful. He is AMAZING!!! I urge you to take him if you want to pass easily. The best part is he looks just like Abraham Lincoln!!!
I literally went to 2 classes all semester and still made a C. I really don't know what anyone has to do to fail this class. Also, I hate history and he made it pretty interesting. I would recommend taking his class to anyone.
He was a great professor, I would definitely take him again. He gets so excited about history, and he gets his students to not only listen but care about what he has to say. He will work with his students, and gives extra credit. Barely used the textbook, had 4 quizzes, a midterm and final. Had one research paper, which we got to choose the topic.
He is ok. Relatively easy except for that he keeps you the whole time for night classes. He says he loves history, but it honestly didn't seem like he knew that much beyond his notes he brought with him. Besides that, the info is clear and he is nice.
He is one of the best teachers I've had yet to date. When you have someone that actually loves what they teach you learn much more easily. I wish all teachers were like Prof Dillon. The research paper we had was ridiculously easy and his tests were straight from lecture and the book... no tricks. Highly recommended.
Without a doubt the best History teacher at PBCC. He loves teaching, and loves history. Take notes! Tests and quizzes are straight from notes... study & do your work and there is no chance to fail! Book really isnt necessary ... Highly recommended.
He loves what he teaches, he is a really nice guy but doesn't specifically say what will be on the quizzes. Only quizzes, and two big papers, and a midterm and final. Very boring.
I feel so lucky I got Professor Dillon! One of the best teachers at PBSC. He loves the subject and is passionate about teaching it (both of these qualities are RARE at this sub par low quality school). He could easily be teaching at a real school.
best guy. if you attend the class you will get an A in the class. extremely helpful and understand your problems.very interesting as well.
A genuine nice guy. You can tell he loves what he teaches, even if the material is boring at times. There's four 10 question quizzes, a midterm, a research paper, and a final. Doesn't care if you get up and leave. Passes around attendance sheet most classes. Easy to talk to to. Encourages discussion a lot. If you show up & take notes, easy A or B.
great old fella, very nice. loves history, easy quizzes, exam and paper, only thing is he will keep you until the last min. but hey the class is a easy A. by the end of his class i had a total diff. look on history. Highly recommended
I took online. His class wasn't fun, he wasn't very helpful, his questions were so worded I didn't even know what he was asking sometimes. It's not a hard class, just a pain. I'm taking him again, only because I know what he's looking for.
Awesome teacher! My interests in history were relatively mild till I took this Mr. Dillon. He loves history, which radiates through his classes, at times engaging all the students in a unified discussions and still was able to pull the class back into lecture. His tests arent cakewalks but if you read the book and pay attention an "A" is imminent.
Prof. Dillon is the nicest professor I've ever had. He is so nice every day, I was wondering when he'd get annoyed with a redundant question and it never happened. His lectures cover EVERYTHING that the tests cover. Take good notes and you are guaranteed an "A". I highly recommend him and I would take him again in the future.
WONDERFUL!BEST CLASS SO FAR! HE IS NOT TOO PICKY OR CRITICAL-YOU CAN GET A GOOD GRADE. TOOK AMH2020 ONLINE-FUN AND NOT TOO DIFFICULT THAT A GOOD GRADE IS IMPOSSIBLE. RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY TO QUESTIONS, GIVES TEST PREP SHEET, POSTINGS EASY, & HE'S VERY NICE! TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY!I GOT A 100 ON MIDTERM TEST-SO DOING WELL IS POSS IF YOU TRY!

He is the best professor I have ever had at PBSC! He is very helpful and responds to emails or questions immed. I found his class fun & he makes History enjoyable! He is wonderfual to have-not too easy, & not so hard that you cannot do well!
Dillon is so NICE! And a great professor. After taking this class you will have a different perspective in history. He doesn't make it dull like every teacher in high school. Take notes and study for the tests and it's an easy A or B...depending on how much you study!
A wonderful professor. His excitment about history is infectious. Explains things clearly. What a gem!
Taking this class online has been a bad decision. I feel completely self taught by the book, there's NO test reviews and each test is based off of 4 chapters. The questions on the test are impossible even sometimes with google. TON of work! Midterm and Final were cumulative.
He is so nice. he goes over everything.. he knows what he is tlking about... he gives you a chance to get involve tests and quizes are the easiest.. If you cant pass this class you dont deserve to be in college I took his class over the summer and I did not regret a second of it
Dillon is a Gem to Palm Beach State College. His love for history runs deep, and it shows in his class lectures. I highly recommend this guy, I think he actually may have been a good friend of Benjamin Franklin. Dillon for President.
Took his class online for a 6 week summer session. TONS of work but if you do them, you'll get an A. Very time consuming. The quizzes are 10 questions in 10 min. Not enough time. The midterm covers first half of the material and final covers the 2nd half. You basically read and teach yourself. Very straight forward.
Do not take this professor online. From the comments I've read, it seems like he would be a better professor in class. He takes awhile to grade things and to email you back. The class had a lot of work and was hardier than I thought it'd be.
I love this class and he makes history interesting one of the best prof in PBSC! Don't think choose him for your prof. Very helpful and really wants his students to do well cannot go wrong. I agree a gem!
Love him!!! He is so helpful, will answer every question you have. He has such a big heart! And he makes history fun and interesting, NOT boring! Take him, he's a great history teacher:)
Best history Professor by far! He's very enthusiastic and has a great insight on history. Passionate about his topics, he makes class fun and even makes history enjoyable, even at 8:00am ona mnay. Just study for his tests and you'll do fine, also participate in his lectures, it makes class more interesting and relevant.
Great professor! Although I do not like History and it is extremely boring to me, I did enjoy his class. 4 quizzes, 10 questions and you have 10 minutes. Take notes and pay attention and you will be perfectly fine. You can tell that he truly loves History. He will answer any question you have. Very fair teacher and wants all his students to pass.
TAKE HIM ! YOU WILL LEARN SO MUCH AND HIS CLASS IS EASY, JUST TAKE NOTES AND STUDY. A REALLY GREAT PROFESSOR.
Let?s get the obvious out of the way? History is boring? He does a great job of keeping your attention and overall the class is pretty easy. His quizzes, midterm, and final are based off his notes, so save your money and DO NOT buy the book.
Outstanding professor; really knows his stuff, he will bend over backwards to help-just ask. Tests are from the notes and his organization is very clear. One small, 3000 word, paper, if you pay attention, and take notes (and study them) this should be an easy "A." He will take the whole class time, but he does a good job of holding your attention.
Worst teacher ever, if you want good grades, you better study a lot by yourself. He knows about History, but he doesn't know nothing about teaching. He likes to keep you busy; he asks for a lot of homework and you'll have a lot of things to do. In my class, only nine students got an A, and we were 41 students; I got a B. I don't recommend him.
Professor Dillon is the best teacher ever!! I would totally recommend him! He is very clear, very very entertaining, he was able to make history fun at 6 pm!!! He curves, so its an easy A, he wants everybody to have a good grade! Pick him and u will not regret it!!!
Took his class online, must read the assignments and put some thought into assignments but not an extremely difficult class. Grades fairly.
walked in halfway through the final exam, he smiled as i was walking up to him and just gave me my test. didnt need extra time because his test was that easy,everything came from the notes. he couldve easily turned me away and failed me, but he didnt and that showed how much he cares for his students
Great Professor, he is very knowledgeable and he does use his time wisely considering he has to go through a lot of information. This will be one of the best classes you will take, he is so enthusiastic about history and as much as the subject may be boring he just makes it fun. He is one of my favorite teachers so far .
His classes are long but he makes history so entertaining and his very clear he write all the topics on the board each class. If you study the topics that he talk about you will be good. very nice professor. i will take him again if I need another History class. :)
One amazing professor!!!! He is so passionate about history. He even makes the boring parts interesting. His grading is very fair and if you don't pass his class.. That's a major problem!!!
Good person, Good teacher. Very friendly and has passion to teach. One of the best teachers in the school.
I currently have Professor Dillon for honors American history, and his class is easily my favorite. He makes history very interesting and does a very good job presenting history in an unbiased way which allows us to develop our own opinions. His quizzes are very easy if you read the material. He's extremely kind and truly cares for his students.
Professor Dillon is an amazing instructor he has a true passion for history. I learned so much with him and I am truly thankful to him. We need more professor like him in this world. I will miss his class and I hope to take another class with him in the future :)
I highly, highly recommend his honors course to any honors students at PBSC. He is a gem, you can easily get an A in the class, and you will learn a lot. Don't let this one slip by.
AMAZING professor. One of the best teachers I've ever had. I really enjoyed his class and I used to hate history. He is so kind, funny, and really cares for students. He's very fair-he won't test you on anything he doesn't talk about in class and gives study guides. He makes history interesting and easy to learn. Take good notes and youll do well!
SUCH a kind, funny, & sweet person! This man is one of the very few professors that I have taken who TRULY enjoys what he teaches. History is his Passion & you'll see it through his teaching. Very interesting class, he is the best History professor on campus, in my opinion. His tests are easy if you study. You'll ENJOY studying though! TAKE HIM!
Do NOT take this professor online if you are the type of student who likes to know their grade/standing in the class. Two weeks before the end of the semester and I have over 30 ungraded assignments. I have a 4.0 right now and NO IDEA if I will maintain that as I have no idea how I am doing in the class. Oh, and he doesn't respond to emails either.
Great class. It was very informative and I enjoyed doing the assignments. The professor is extremely fair in his grading and his test are based off of his lectures. I would recommend taking this class online.
Amazing professor! I took him over the summer in a 6 week class, so I was in class for three hours at a time. He lectured the entire time and was still able to keep me completely engaged. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about history. One of my favorite professors at Palm Beach State.
Not a bad professor. Emails you a week or two later. Seems to be understanding in his emails. Grades everything a month in a half later into the semester or before the class is over. Every week assignments are due. 4 quizzes and midterm and exams. Dedicate yourself you'll be ok. No reviews for any test and don't buy book all his lectures are online
Really upset @ the fact that he does not grade in time However when he emails you back he is a generous professor The assignments due per week is a lot and you have to stay on top of your reading & your own personal notes bc there is no study guides or reviews given Do not buy the book his lectures is online 4 Quizzes 10Ques 10mins midterm & final.
The class was fairly easy, but the discussions and assignments felt very time consuming at times. He grades the assignments graciously, but it takes him FOREVER to grade. He replies to emails a week or two later. I finished the class with 14 ungraded assignments. I'm assuming he gave me 100's for them though because I got an A in the class.
Professor Dillon is an amazing teacher. He is very organized and literally follows the Main points of the textbook. He loves to use the board for outlining what he plans on teaching for the day, and even does a quick review of the day before. If you pay attention in class and take the notes, quizzes and tests are fairly easy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM
Took this class over the summer; 6wks. Professor Dillon is a wonderful and kind professor. He makes history interesting, very knowledgeable, passionate, & enjoys teaching. He will keep you engaged. He wants everyone to do well! 4Quizes, 10ques.midterm/final. Take notes,study & you will do fine. Make sure you pick this professor!!! The BEST!
Best Professor I have ever had. He is absolutely into his history and it shows.
BEST professor I've ever come across in my life. I was NOT excited about taking this class, but he made lectures into an exciting story. His compassion and knowledge of history sets him apart. It can be a long class but it's history. He has the kindest soul. I won't ever forget him!
He gives 4 quizzes which are relatively easy! He drops the lowest one. The final and the midterm consist of 1 essay questions that accounts for about half your grade on those exams.. don't worry tho, he usually tells you what it will be about. He is very enthusiastic and grades fair.
this prof was so sweet. history is not my subject, but he finds a way to make each chapter a part of a story he tells each class. he also tries his hardest for his students to understand what is going on; he even puts on a little act when he talks about presidents! i would definitely take this professor again!
He's adorable. Tries to engage the class during his lectures but it doesn't go over so well. It's a lot of information. He's very helpful if you need, really nice guy. Doesn't give very good reviews for tests or exams, he's a UF grad lol. Assigns a research paper that's fun if you like history. Pretty easy if you take notes. Use the book!!
Really nice guy, aside from the gargantuan amount of reading, this class wasn't particularly difficult. He gives key term sheets, if you make notes on these terms you'll ace the class. Very understanding if a personal issue comes up. Make sure to show participation, and he will be very generous grading you. If possible take his honors.-fantastic.
I took this course over Summer A so it was a little fast paced. Overall, Dillon is a great professor. He gave 4 quizzes and 2 exams, passed with an easy A. The only thing is he doesn't do power points or simplified notes so be prepared to take your own notes. Also, you don't need the book.
During summer, it goes by fast. LONG CLASS & he lectures the whole time. But he's not that boring so he keeps you interested. A few quizzes & the midterm & final. If you study, you'll pass. Attendance is a MUST. There's a research paper that's real easy. He tries to keep it interesting. Overall, he's a great Proffessor. Has a passion for history.
Overall this class was great. The professor was very nice and passionate about the topic. Long lecture but its a must to attend. As long as you pay attention, take notes and study a litle before you wil pass with an A or B. The summer class had 4 quizes, 2 exams, 1 paper and particiation. No textbook needed. Class highly recomended
Great professor. Helped a lot.
This guy is awesome. His lectures were easy to listen to. Although they are long. The tests are easy, like really easy. I got an A on both the tests and most quizzes. I'm not good at remembering a lot of info either. Take this guy, he loves to teach and I did learn a lot. Grade received A.
Easy class and an easy A! Good class to take over summer! Professor is so cute and you can tell he really loves history just listen to his lectures and you'll be fine
Great teacher! He is very sweet and really loves the material he is teaching. The class is super easy! You only have 4 quizzes all year and one paper (plus a mid-term and final) but he grades super easy and almost all of the information on the quizzes are straight definitions.
literally write down everything he says cause he doesnt use the textbook and youll do OK
NO book needed. The lecture are good enough to pass with an A. Easy class. 2 assignments and discussions due every Sunday.
He lectures all class and it gets kinda boring but make sure to take notes. A few quizzes, a research paper, mid term and final. He's a little weird but he knows his stuff
Class consisted of 4 quizzes 10 questions each, 1 Midterm exam cumulative, 1 final exam not cumulative, and 1 paper. I never read the book his lectures cover all of the materials. Lectures were extremely organized, entertaining and clear but be prepared to take notes. I found it helpful to recorded the lectures. He is very knowledgeable and helpful
I loved Prof Dillon! He is a very good teacher, enthusiast about his subject. Lectures are long, but he throw in the occasional joke and makes them likeable. I felt that I learned a lot and would definitely recommend him. Show up, and participate. If you take notes, you'll barely need to look at the book.
Man this guy is classic! Loves history... Its a lot of information to remember when the test come around but he was so nice I dont even care what grade I get. Gives extra credit and grades pretty easy. This guy would forget his notes and still be able to give an hour lecture in order without missing a beat. Kinda funny at times too
If you attend professor dillons class you will pass. He makes history super clear and is very passionate about the subject aswell. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take a history class. Dude gave our class like 4 chances for extra credit.
Overall this was an easy class but he takes a while to grade discussions and assignments. I honestly don't think he ever reads them. If you like feedback, he is not for you. If you submit assignments on time and read his lectures you will be fine.
He gets really into history, but talks basically the entire class. His quizzes are not the difficult and he grades them on an easy scale. Only one research paper and you've got almost the whole course to finish. The book is not needed. If you just show up, listen to his lecture, and take a few notes you should pass.
Overall, an easy class to take for history. Lots of lecturing but Professor Dillon makes it enjoyable and throws in jokes. Rarely had homework, there were a few quizzes, one research paper he grades sparingly, midterm and final with study guides. TAKE HIM.
Amazing professor! Definitely take him if you are fine with lectures. Personally, I am more of a hands-on activity person, but he seems to make lectures really interesting. Sometimes, you might feel like falling asleep in class, but just get some sugar into your body and you are completely fine. No homework and easy test. Always take notes!
Super easy A if you take it online. He takes a while to grade your weekly assignments but he gives a 100% on all of them
Professor Dillon is incredible. Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. I am a history minor and I learn so much in his class. He's funny and passionate and I originally took him for World History and he was so good I came back for American and I will be taking him next semester as well. If you want to learn take his class!
I took this class online and it consisted of blackboard assignments AND discussions (which do require some time to complete) plus tests. If you stay on top of the work and study this is an easy A
He gets so excited about history that it makes the lectures much more enjoyable. If you attend class regularly, participate, take good notes, and put some effort into the one research paper then there is no reason you shouldn't receive an A. I would definitely take another course with him.
Professor Dillon is really one of the coolest professors you'll take! He is super easy. You only have 4 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 research paper, and a final. You don't really need the textbook because his lectures cover just about everything that will be on the quizzes. Definitely take him!
Really, really enjoyed this class! He made history so much more interesting and his lectures were just plain old brilliant. Professor Dillon is a very kind, respected man who wants you to succeed not only in his class, but in life. Do NOT buy the book! His lectures cover everything! 4 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, and 1 research paper. Take him! :-)
Very knowledgable man! Throughout my time in college, I can honestly say this was the best professor I have ever took. Very sweet and caring! I don't know how anyone could give him a bad review. I would defiantly recommended any of his classes to anyone! Very manageable class! I suggest you take him. You won't regret it.
I love how professor Dillon is so dedicated to history! His love for history made the class very interesting. He's a really cool professor. He gives 4 quizzes, a midterm, a final, and a research paper. Honestly impossible to fail to this class if you pay attention :) totally recommend him.
Honestly probably one of the best history professors on the Boca campus! He is so dedicated to history, and his class is literally impossible to fail if you show up. There are 4 quizzes, a research paper, a midterm, and a final. He also offers E.C. opportunities, so take advantage. He is so kind and honestly really understanding. I love this guy!
This class is one of the best I've ever taken. Mr. Dillon had blackboard organized very well. He was super responsive to emails and was not short with his responses. He provided comprehensive written lectures which made the course extra interesting. His discussion and assignment questions are thought provoking. He welcomes each student's opinions.
BEST TEACHER EVER! He is so kind! and super easy going. He defiantly cares about his students and does literally everything for you to get an easy A. (Easy quizzes, tests and essay topic) he gives out extra credit close to the end of the course so be sure to do them! Defiantly would recommend him to anyone! Take him! :)
Every week there is two lessons and you have to submit 2 discussions and 1 assignment. Very easy! the most difficult thing were the quizzes (4) and Exams (midterm and final). quizzes are 10 questions and 10 minutes. way too much pressure, could never finish on time. Use his lectures more than the book when preparing for the test.
Really loved history with this teacher. He makes the class really manageable and he cares for his students. He get's an A+ from me.
Best history class! Take him, he's the best! so straight forward and easy. It's a good amount of work, but its essentially easy! I didn't need the textbook at all I just read his lectures online and it gave me all the info needed!
He was a very nice guy. His lectures were just superrrr boring. He never used Powerpoints. He just wrote key subjects on the bored in the beginning of class and lectured the whole class. Everyone had a difficult time listening. His research paper was an easy A and exams were hard. His reviews were terribly long and unrealistic to study.
I went into this class with a very "ehh" feeling about history in general. This class changed that. Dude is a great professor, I took him for summer so the class was accelerated. The lectures were crammed but I was engaged the whole time. Take him if you want to learn, he knows history in and out. I truly enjoyed his class. No PP, just lectures.
Very good teacher. I hate history but it is important that you attend lectures, everything he lectures are in his test and quizzes. Easy A. The rest are super easy, the quizzes are easy really just an easy A if you pay attention in class and take good notes. Research paper is an easy A did it in one hour before it was due and got a B. Easy class!!
Great professor and a super easy class. You don't need to buy the textbook because his quizzes are based on his lectures. Just listen, take good notes, show up, and you're good. No power points. He writes key points on the board. I would take him again if I had a chance. I strongly recommend him for AMH2020.
This was one of the few online classes where the teacher put actual effort into the materials. For each chapter there is a written lecture that he wrote, along with a link to other supplemental material. Quizzes and exams require some studying, but are straightforward. He did go a month without grading a single thing though.
not boring at all, very good professor. The examns aren't easy if you don't study and take notes. Highly recommend him!
He writes key topics on the board and lectures the whole time. Tells you what you'll be tested on. There is no homework, 4 short quizzes (he drops the lowest score), midterm, and final. He talks the whole time, but he makes it interesting. He also gives extra credit opportunities. Overall super easy class if you just show up and take notes.
BEST professor ever! Cares so much for your grade. Big on lectures but I thought of them to be very fascinating. Easy research paper to do! Will help you get to the A you need!
This class is easy. Just show up and write down what he says (this way you don't waste your money on the book) it will be on the quizzes. I normally dislike history but he tried to make it interesting in his own way. Quiz, Midterm, and Final format are simple & like middle/high school style. Take him if you can
I took his summer course AMH2010 and he was the absolute best!!! The tests and quizzes are multiple choice and super easy if you read over your notes once before the test. He made us write 1 paper that was 3 pages, but it was ALL BULLET POINTS, no format necessary. He is so into History that his lectures are like story time! Just show up!
GREAT TEACHER! you must show up to his classes because he writes down everything that will be on the test the board! Textbook is useful but "quizlet" seemed to help me out a lot also. easy A as long as you are willing to show up to class and write down his notes
Professor Dillon is an excellent educator and he is always wiling to help. Easy class, but the 10 min. quiz may be a little difficult, so read his lecture carefully.
I've always loved history. Professor Dillon gives clear and organized notes, and gets really into his lectures. Few easy papers and exams. if you're having trouble on your paper, dont delay. speak with him early
I am graduating my AA this semester, and after two years of attending PBSC there are three top professors that I am happy I took and Professor Dillon is one of them. As long as you communicate with him , he is willingly to help with you with timing or technological issues with his online class. Awesome guy who wants you to succeed. Take him!
Professor Dillon is a very nice professor, probably the nicest you can get. He makes his tests and quizzes super easy, so you don't have to stress out about it. He isn't a tough grader and will negotiate with you if you missed an assignment, and he lets you ask questions before tests. He's there to actually help you learn, and not punish you.
I took his class online and everything was laid out and easy to understand what was expected from me. Very simple class work and straight forward lectures.
Great professor! 4 quizzes, one paper, midterm and a final. As long as you come to class, you will find the lectures very interesting and it will be easy for you to remember everything. Just make sure you take good notes, then just read over them before a quiz/test. Made history super interesting and fun. Very caring and considerate. Take him
Professor Dillon is as caring as a professor can get! He is very passionate about History and lectures a great amount of time, but listening to someone who has knowledge and passion talk is much better than listening to someone who doesn't. He will help you with anything! Taking good notes of his lectures is a MUST to do well on quizzes/exams
VERY VERY Lecture Heavy. I took this class due to all the good reviews for this teacher however the quizzes are random and only like 5 questions so if you get one wrong you already have like an 80%. Great teacher, I just cant sit in a class for an hour listen to a teacher talk about history. YOU WILL HAVE A PAPER IN THIS CLASS!
This professor is Awesome! If you get a chance, take him! He made history really fun to learn about.
Wow, just wow. Prof. Dillon is a a gem of an educator. I originally thought, ugh, history, what a drag, but Prof. Dillon changed that thought by the second week of class. Hes well versed in lecture, offers, extra credit, and makes history I teresteing to the point of enjoyable. Lets just say I was disappointed at how fast the semester came to
Took his online class he was pretty good, only thing is he stops giving feedback after a while Easy A
I love reading his lectures. Its an easy class you just have to like reading. Only down side is he takes forever to answer emails and grade work. 2 discussion a week and 1 easy assignment. Both based on his lectures. Test and quizzes are also based on lecture, which is nice because they are interesting to read.
Teacher is so passionate about history that it makes it entertaining. Just take good notes or get them from someone if you miss class. Make flashcards. I got an A in the summer accelerated course which was tough just because of super long classes and lots of info in a short time, but not unreasonable. Tests are fairly easy. Didn't use the book.
Professor Dillon is awesome! You can tell by his teaching method how passionate he is about history. His lectures are informative, entertaining, and interesting. His quizzes are super easy. If you study, there is no reason for you to not get an easy 'A'.
Best History Professor, 100% recommended, I thought history was boring until I took this class AMH2020, he explains history in a very interesting way that you wish the story never ends, he gives extra credit, if you have any questions he is very polite and professional to answer your question, he is very knowledgable about history. TAKE HIM!!!
I am by any means a history person but Professor Dillon is a very passionate, respectful, joyful, overall good classic kind of guy who likes things old fashioned and simple, he loves what he does and i actually found myself listening most of the time which shocked myself, he offers extra credit, he wants you to succeed and love his class.
I took this course online, it was easy to get done throughout the week but if you didn't study the lectures (which are actually quite interesting for someone who is not interested in reading about history) you will not do well on tests/quizzes. The tests are on a large number of sections so try and keep up! He was hard to reach via email though.
You don't need the textbook, he explains everything. Some concepts are dull, others are intriguing. He explains it in a way where you can understand it. I really like that. I recommend going over your notes every night. If you do that the class is easy. No home work, couple quiz's and one paper. Really great teacher, will be taking again.
Profession Dillion is an excellent history professor. His lectures are interesting and he brings stories into them. I picked him because of the reviews on rate my professor and I'm glad I did. I truly enjoyed his class. He allowed late students to submit makeup work and gives ex-credit assignments.
Handful of quizzes a midterm and a final and one paper. After that you are done. You don't need a textbook, his lectures are very informative, write down good notes and you will be fine. He makes it interesting and if you study from your notes, I knew people who struggled in his class and their studying material wasn't up to par.
Prof Dillon is awesome ! He is knowledgeable and cares about your well being in the class. He gives 4 quizzes, 1 paper, midterm, & final. He drops the lowest quiz. If you study the lectures you'll do great on the quizzes and exams. Paper was 3 pages double spaced so pretty short. I would take him again! Take this class if you need it!
Professor Dillon is great, loves his lectures. The only thing that was challenging in his class , is the 15 minute timed quizzes. If you are a person who stress over timed test, this will be your only issue, but you will survive! One paper. He answers emails promptly. Overall excellent professor, He makes you want to learn more about history.
GREAT professor. don't buy the book, no need. he will hand out a paper with topics that will be covered. you will ONLY be tested on what he covers. don't miss class or be late. he starts on time. class sometimes goes late. quizzes are super easy and curved. test are multiple choice. the paper assignment is easy. midterm & final. not cumulative.
Highly recommend, hes very passionate with his teaching and yea it can get boring but all around easy professor
Probably one of the best professors you will ever have. He makes written lectures that contain everything you need to know so do not worry about buying the book. Super fun and passionate about history.
2 discussions (and replies),and an assignment every week, just turn it in by the due date and it's a hundred. Book isn't necessary, his lectures are great. The quizzes and exams can be tricky but they're still easy and come straight from the lectures so print them out, highlight and write the topics on the side of the paragraphs. Will take again.
Class consists of 3 discussions with a response and an assignment every week. A couple quizzes, the midterm, and final throughout. His lectures are easy to follow to where you don't need the book. He is forgiving when it comes to missing any quizzes and gives you the chance to make them up. Overall, non stressful class for the first remote semester
I took this class as an actual online class and really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend you guys taking this class as an online class.
Took this course online and loved it! Prof Dillon is passionate about american history, you can tell in how he teaches. He gives 15 min timed quizzes but will always let you know in advance about it. The book is needed for the readings, he'll want you to know the content before class. Turn on your cam/audio, he gives more cred towards participation
I took professors Dillon's AMH2020 online class, and boy was it bad! Apparently, he is good for in-person classes, but he got it completely wrong for remote learning. His schedule is a mess. Most students were lost the whole semester. He embeds the quizzes in a random lesson, opens them hours from being due, and gives very little time to take them.
If you don't like to read, don't take this class. To pass this class you HAVE TO read all chapters assigned in the textbook. You will not find any answers on Quizlet for the quizzes and exams. TIP: Get the eBook.
Honestly, I took this course online for Summer 2021 and it was super easy. He assigns 2-3 lessons discussions per week and you get to choose one lesson you do a short assignment for. His quizzes are easy if you read the one-page lectures for the lessons. He's an easy grader, take the course!
Prof. Dillion is awesome, super caring, hilarious, and is willing to work with you on anything. There were only 3 quizzes, a midterm and final, and one paper. You don't need the textbook, he basically gives his lectures verbatim from his notes, which he gives you. Bring those notes to class!! Turn on your camera, answer questions, you'll do great.
Great professor! If his class is open, take him! He was very lecture heavy but got IN A GROUP CHAT like WhatsApp!! Peer help is no joke, especially when studying for tests and quizzes! EASY A!!
The only professor I have ever rated on here, he is amazing and inspirational, even throughout a 3 1/2 hour online class. Always has a smile on his face and cares that you are learning.
Easy class. 3 assignments due each week on Sunday, 4 quizzes, midterm exam, and a final. Be sure to study as well because the quizzes are timed and none of the answers will be on Quizlet or Google.
Professor Dillon is a very kind professor who wants everyone to succeed. He gives 6 tests(4 quizzes and 2 exams) that are rather easy if you listen. He gives makeup test dates, and one paper is due near the middle of the semester. His classes are just lectures, but he is very open to discussion if anyone has questions. Overall a great professor!
Two discussions and one assignment per week, everything is simple and laid out. The written lectures and readings were engaging. Honestly pretty easy, only took me around two hours every week. Sometimes took a while to grade (one time he took a whole month), but it didn't really matter to me.
I took this class online super easy. 2 discussions and 2 assignments every week 4 quizzes, a midterm and a final. You will not find the answers for the final and midterm online so you have to read the book but other than that super easy class.
I recommend Professor Dillon to anyone that taking AMH. He only assigned four assignments every week, making this class incredibly simple. We had two discussions about the subject, and there were two assignments. He handed us a midterm, a final, and a couple of extremely simple quizzes. He is not a difficult grader, take him.
Literally the easiest class and most chill professor. 2 quick discussions and 1 assignment due at the end of every week. You do NOT need the textbook!!
Dude I wish I can take him for all my college classes. There are only 4 quizzes that are online and open note. Only 2000 word paper thats very easy. Very passionate about history and respectful, def take him if you can !
Professor relates boring material in a way that's easy to consume if you're not history savvy. He began the course lecture by declaring history is boring, but his maps, energy, and freedom on assignments make him a must take professor if you love history or need a Gen Ed credit
Such a sweet guy! His lectures are very discussion-like, which feels very relaxed. He reviews every topic before moving on. If you pay attention and be respectful, it's an easy A+.
Literally the easiest class and most chill professor. 2 quick discussions and 1 assignment due at the end of every week. You do NOT need the textbook!! 200 word eassy
Took his 6 week summer class, and even though it was a lot of work, he only graded a few things so your grade doesn't tank. I missed many of the assignments and still passed the class. He dropped the lowest quiz/test score. Really enjoyed his class and really recommend it to anyone who needs their last credit.
You literally can't fail this class.
The professor is super chill and makes the class enjoyable. Only a few quizzes and assignments - no need for the textbook. Use unstuckstudy along with class notes to ace this easy A!
He's the sweetest and most passionate professor I've ever taken. Super kind and patient and the class is easygoing and chill; you can tell he loves history. I would definitely take his class again if I had the chance! I wish nothing but the best for him.
I mean doesn't really respond to emails or comments on canvas for the online classes, id appreciate more clear communication. Since its an online class there is disconnection between the professor. Is pretty tough with the deadline, even if you are a minute late past the deadline he will mark as late and grade as 50% which can tank your grade.
Professor Dillon is an excellent history professor who makes the material engaging, easy to understand and relevant. He genuinely cares about his student's success and create a supportive, welcoming learning environment. Highly recommend taking this class!
Definitely recommend Professor Dillon! There is very little work and no homework. You take quizzes and tests every once in a while, and you complete them from home. He's so passionate about history, so it makes it interesting!
