Extremely nice and caring professor. Out of all the classes I have taken he has been by far the one that works with you the most. In addition to being a good professor he is a charismatic and a funny guy. I hands down recommend anyone to take any of his classes that are available.
10/10 professor helped me out on tough times do your work and there is no way you wont get an A, class is fun and easy. Will def take again.
amazing class 10/10 would take again just go to class, pay attention and youll be set and also learn a lot without even trying. 10/10 -L
If you fail this class it's because you wanted to fail. Professor Ross really cares about his students and wants to see them pass. He is knowledgeable and funny and easy to talk to.
Professor Ross is an amazing teacher If you need help, he will go out of his way to make sure you understand my best professor to date!
I took his zoom class and he definitely was my favorite teacher this semester. He makes the course fun, engaging and enjoyable. He has a great sense of humor and he is very caring. His class overall was very easy. Professor Ross gives you the tools needed to be successful in the class just don't be lazy. 306/350
I stress that this is a class you CHOOSE to fail. The professor cares for his students greatly and is there to help them when needed. His coursework is also very easy. I implore anyone who needs the credits for social science to take this course; it's easy and fun.
Professor Ross is such an easy-going person. He makes all the stress go away with a smooth conversation on the topic. Pay attention to the lessons, do his homework which aren't difficult, and you should top his class with an A. Obs. Seriously, if you end up in any situation, just talk with him, he's there to help you get through it.
Professor Ross is one of the best professors at palm beach state. He cares for his students and will do anything to help you pass the class. Participation matters!
As long as you show up for class, do the homework and follow his instructions on assignments you will be in his good books. He actually cares for his students and is always ready to help. He is willing to talk after class or schedule a meeting which fits both your schedules. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Very nice. No surprises in the course easy. Explains clearly.
This professors a g
Great professor! He really made American History enjoyable and the class was fun! 100% would take again!
If professor RYAN ROSS's teaching other courses I pleasure to take them with him.
Amazing Professor. Truly cares about his students and is super patient with us.
I really enjoyed the class and the professor was very knowledgeable and helpful!
This class is very easy and the teacher is very understanding, just do the work and it isn't much.
Amazing professor. Very understanding and fair. Dad Jokes guy. 3 essays, very easy (for me at least). Few assignments on Top Hat, help me better understand the lectures. Don't be afraid to email him if you have ANY questions AT ALL. He's very good at replying back to them. He's also very good at grading and returning grades asap. Def Recommend. :))
STOP! If you're going to let one review sway your mind let it be this one. Easiest class ever, professor really tries hard to assist with getting an A for final grade. Replies quickly to emails, homework load was not too much very easily do-able assignments also very understanding. 10/10 100 percent would recommend professor Ross
I needed this class to graduate, and he made the semester so smooth in addition to the other classes I was taking. Prof Ross truly cares about his students and encourages everyone to pass and gives equal opportunities.
Best professor so far.
Take the 12-week AMH 2020. Ryan, in his 30s, is a professor who also works in his field outside of PBSC. His lectures are sarcastic yet entertaining. His writing assignments allow you to take topics into your own hands. His grading and feedback are clear. He gives extra credit. He appreciates good work. TAKE HIM. If you fail, you didn't try at all.
The past good reviews are correct. Thoroughly explains assignments to ensure you get a good grade. You just have to try he'll make sure you pass. He truly cares about his students & it shows. He makes lectures fun & yes,he will take up most of the time. Worth taking this class, excellent professor!If you need help you just have to reach out!
This professor really puts an effort in explaining and even gives his own in sight
Do the homework, and come to class don't miss it you will be lost.
He is great professor I really enjoyed his class . He is great in responding back when need it . Great lectures not boring I recommend him!!
a great professor! The easiest professor, he WANTS everyone to pass, teaches really good with clarity, pretty chill and made class enjoyable, made American history easier to retain, we didn't have to use a textbook only Top hat but the questions where cake, makes the class 10x EASIER! attendance is a must! if I where you ID TAKE HIM!
super easy teacher, he cares and will help you get an A if you put in effort
Took his AMH 2010 class via zoom lectures. Very very funny. Wants everyone to pass and does everything possible to make it happen. A few papers, about a page in length. Breaks down each assignment and gives ample time to complete them. He used TopHat for the textbook (which is required to complete homework questions). All around great teacher :)
One of the best Professors I've ever had. He is so kind and actually cares about his students, he's also really fun even when he's giving a lecture. He barely gives homework and when he does he gives you more than enough time to get it done.
Absolutely amazing professor. Gives extra credit and explains assignments in detail. Gives absolutely great lectures. Only 3 essays about 2 pages long and 2 quizzes and no final exam. Grades fast with feedback and available outside of class pretty much 24/7. Actually wants his students to get an A. Do the assignments and you'll pass. Take his class
My professor is the best because he knows how to make our Zoom meetings fun and hilarious.
By far one of the best and easiest classes I've ever taken. Professor Ross makes the class fun and interesting. I wish we had more professors like him on campus. If you're contemplating on taking his class, do it!
great professor and very helpful and understanding.
this class is an easy A. he is a very nice and understanding prof :)
THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR AT PALM BEACH STATE!! I am so glad I took his course. He is hilarious and the most understanding teacher I've had. Essays are actually just a paragraph long. No such thing as late work. Guaranteed to get an A in his class. Does require that you have your camera on.
One of the best professors at pbsc by far! Really entertaining "lectures" if you can even call them that! Super funny and easy to pay attention to. Grading is super straightforward but you still have to put some effort into your few essays. He'll always provide feedback and let you change anything multiple times to get a perfect score! Loved it :)
He cares about all his students and provides many resources to ensure they succeed. His lectures are entertaining and relevant to course materials. He encourages critical thinking through lessons on American history. I have never had a professor who is so supportive and informational. Take this class, you will not regret it.
Professor Ross has made this class really fun, we have learned a lot throughout the course with his lectures. He also jokes around with students, starts acting hilarious, really amazing person. If I had to take this class again, I would take it 1000x times with Professor Ross.
Professor Ross is an exceptional example of what an excellent professor is. He was always very receptive patient and helpful any time I had to reach out to him I would 100% recommend taking any of his classes.
He is absolutely fantastic.He cares very deeply for his students and it shows.I looked forward to coming to class.He is so funny and is so present and engaging.Gordon rule class so there is some writing,but he walks you through each essay and is always there to help.I took 2 classes of his already because he is that good.If you can get in,take him.
He is very understanding that life happens. He makes it easy to remember the lessons. He will work with you at whatever time you need him. All around great teacher!
I actually enjoyed his class. He did very well at explaining the assignments and what needed to be done. The homework wasn't hard at all just needed to be done in time, and even if it wasn't if you just reached out to him and let him know what was going he would extend time. Over all very nice professor.
I had the pleasure of taking AMH 2010 and AMH 2020 with Professor Ross, and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Not only is Professor Ross incredibly knowledgeable about American history, but he is also a fantastic teacher who genuinely cares about his students' success. I highly recommend taking his class.
Professor Ross was by far the best professor I ever had. He is very knowledgeable and made the discussions interesting enough to want to participate. There isn't any heavy homework loads, easy essays that he helps every step of the way with and gives great feedback. Thank you Professor Ross for loving your job, it made me enjoy attending class.
At first I thought he was a weirdo, but in the end he was the best professor I ever had. He's very understanding to schedules and wants you to succeed. Class is a breeze if you stay on top of the work, and if you miss any homework just ask and he'll let you finish it with no penalty. Take this professor if you want a fun time learning history.
Professor Ross was an amazing teacher. His classes were never boring and he was very intelligent in everything he would teach. He was so down to earth and was definitely understanding. I would take his class again and would recommend him to other students as well. 5+ stars!
I struggle with history, but this professor made it possible for me to do well in the class. Highly recommend :)
Great history teacher. would highly recommend taking his class to anyone.
He's pretty good with accomidating with your schedule if you need help and he is always ready to help no matter what time.
I like that he relates the lectures to current events. He also gets us pizza sometimes. Great guy
Professor Ross was very witty and sarcastic but in a caring way, I do absolutely recommend taking his advice and reaching out to him whenever you have issues, he's very understanding.
proffessor Ross is 1 in a million. He always made it fun to show up to class and always made everyone laugh. He would hop on a zoom call whenever to help you out with essays if you didn't understand and was always there for you. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fun history class and a great/helpful teacher
A great professor. Would take him again, just for fun. Was very accessible out of class time and very caring.
He is very understanding and caring about students. Easy grade if you did all your work. He's hilarious, makes everyone laugh, and talks about positive things.
Professor Ross is a great teacher, he's always ready to help with essays and homework, and he is very lenient when it comes to late classwork. He's one of those teachers you can ask a stupid question to and not feel judged/embarrassed also he has a great attitude in class and always make my classmates and i laugh.
Professor Ross really cares about his students and is *more* than willing to help you if you're falling behind. Would highly recommend this course.
Really nice, super funny, easy grader and takes it easy with the assignments. Would take again for sure. :)
He will help you achieve the grade you want if you are willing to work with him.
Professor Ross will truly put the effort to get you to pass his class. He was extremely flexible with assignments giving the reason I was working at two jobs and trying to pass the class. He is helpful and reasonable. I would totally take his class again.
Amazing Professor highly recommend taking his course he cares about his students passing and makes it easy to do so, just do your stuff! He's very understanding of us having other things going on and having lives lol
One of the best professors! He wants you to pass, you just have to do the work assigned. Nothing crazy due. I wish he was teaching other subjects! He is very flexible with due dates.
DO NOT TAKE HIM!
He was an amazing professor!! There is a group project at the end but there are not a lot of papers. He wants you to get an A. I would take him again 100%
If you want to pass do not take his class. He's a tough grader and he's not clear on what he wants either, which was frustrating to our class. Wants a "Rough" draft but when he gets what he asks for its a problem. I'm not a mind reader but he could definitely do better on his communication and being more direct with what he wants. I would not take!
I took Professor Ross for AMH 2091. This is my third class that I took with him. He is an amazing teacher; he grades fast, responds to emails, and is willing to work with you. His homework assignments are very clear and consist of reading and answering questions. You should definitely take him!
This professor is by far the worse i've had at palm beach state. If you are reading these reviews thinking this class is easy, think again.
Professor Ross is amazing. Do not be shy and don't hesitate to reach out when you need help. I am so happy and grateful that I did. He will work with you, answer your questions, and help guide you towards a better understanding of the matter at hand. I learned a lot from him and feel as if I've unlocked an expansion pack for my writing abilities.
Lots of work. One group project throughout the semester. He is a very picky grader, beware on your rough draft and essays. I met up with him on zoom for the final draft and he gave 450/450 pts. He gives a discussion and 2 assignments per 1-2 lessons. They take 1-2 hours. I am dual enrolled, it wasn't too bad. 2 other essays in the semester as well.
Super helpful! Really wants you to succeed; realistic expectations, knowledgeable. Will meet with you via zoom to help with projects. I have never met a college professor this helpful.
He is funny and always makes the class enjoyable by interacting with his students, ensuring they stay engaged. He's a really smart guy who knows what he's doing. His hilarious personality adds to the experience. I would definitely recommend this professor! The class isn't hard at all. :))
Focus on the homework and use the zoom meetings he has to your advantages for feed back
The work can be a bit tedious at times but you always know what is expected of you. Professor Ross was very accessible through canvas if I had any questions or concerns. Definitely one of my favorite professors. He truly cares about the subject and wants to see his students to do well. Good course to take for a busy if you have schedule.
He was super helpful and with his help i received an A. i would recommend this class!!
No tests, only essays! It's a super easy class; I took it along with Calculus 2 and Chemistry 2 and still got an A! Time management is super important as the homework takes a while to complete since this is an online class. The professor is very understanding and will shrink the homework if needed; he did that at the start of the year.
Highly recommend taking Professor Ross's course he is very helpful and really wants you to succeed in his class. If you are ever stuck on anything he would take the time to help you. He is a very understanding Professor who explains what needs to be done on assignments and responds to your emails quickly.
Professor Ross is an incredible instructor, understanding the difficulties students face attending college he works with you to get your education. He is a very funny and inspiring, this form of teaching makes you want to look forward to his next class. I truly am honored to have been one of his students. I recommend him to anyone.
Sitting down and scheduling a meeting with the professor is very easy and will 100% secure you a good grade.
He gives great constructive criticism.
This amazing person subbed Professor Glenn Swift for 2 weeks, and I was questioning why I didn't take Ross in the first place. He made sure we passed!! He gave us amazing feedback on our papers while adjusting previous assignments to be more manageable. His lectures were great, and he made sure everyone understood. Highly recommend!!!!
He is one amazing professor. He really cares about you passing his class and he is willing to help you pass. If you're looking for a great history professor, he is the one for you. 10/10 recommend.
His class is easy overall; his grading method is simple; quizzes are unlimited attempts. At the end we have an essay group project with individual grading criteria. He's a thought grader in this but follow instructions, and if you have questions or help, ask for a meeting, he's more than happy to help get the best possible chance for a good grade.
He was fairly kind and gave good constructive comments. Nothing is graded too harshly and he is fairly available. Responds well to emails and allows for zoom meetings if requested.
this professor is ok. he gives unclear instructions and gets a attitude when you ask for assistance. this class was an easy A but the Prof. Ross is a Prick. if you can choose another professor do that. (doesn't use lockdown)
Ross for president
Ok that last rating was meant for someone else
The professor is extremely passive aggressive, the class is fairly easy but he makes it complicated, you do one small thing wrong in your essay it's a 0. i wouldn't recommend him at all.
This professor is NOT clear on what he exactly wants. His course overall is not difficult but needs to be more clear about what he wants.
He was a professor who could sometimes be understanding and occasionally unclear about what was required in his class.
Easy class, probably would take again but Professor Ross himself is a strange person. Doesn't respond to emails, shows up late to every scheduled one on one meeting without acknowledgment wearing a backwards cap, and talks to you as if you're incompetent. Good thing the class is easy.
This professor is so passive aggressive and always seemed annoyed when you reached out to him with a question or any kind of concern. Also does group assignments and it was brutal trying to get through them. Would not recommend this instructor.
The material was okay, I guess, but this man is out of his mind. SO RUDE AND PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE. Oh MY God I cannot even begin to explain. Instructions are unclear.
this teacher is really chill. he does teach the material that's needed and also keep you updated with what's going on in the world. i like the small debates he would encourage. at the end of the semester there is a final project. don't let that detour you it's really easy.
