He has a wicked sense of humor. He knows alot about history. He gives you all possible questions to each test even the final. His lectures are a little hard to follow if your not prepared prior to class. This is an easy A if you put a little time in to it.

Scott is an awesome professor, pay attntion in class and get all the info you need for his test's. He has an extensive knowledge in history and makes it fun to learn, Scott get's an A++++ from me!

He is a great teacher. One of the better ones that I have had. Very clear and very pleasant. Although he keeps you there for almost the entire class.

One Word: EASY! Scott is a nice guy, he can get a little boring, but if you want an easy "A", he's the teacher for you. Take notes and you will do fine in the class. He has open book/open discussion type quizzes...go to class, and earn the easy 5 pts for this. His class is sooooo EASY! Don't pick another teacher other than Scott Howell.

He is a great teacher. He gives u the expected term to know on the test. He goes over explicitly what one must know repeditively. He also encourages students to read ahead because he wants them to do well.

Scott is a great guy! He's a little dry but really tries to present the material in a way that is interesting. He responds to emails, keeps regular office hours, encourages you to stop by outside of class. He gives you a study guide for each test so there are no suprises. If you are going to take History, go with Scott Howell!

ok, here are the details. take notes on everything he says because he skips around a lot and if you wait for just the answers to the studyguide, you won't do good. be very, very thorough in his questions. he likes that and will forgive you the more details you put.

Dr. Howell is great. He is easy going and nice. He knows alot.

show up to every class... dont be late, he kind of gets annoyed by it... STUDY your study guide before tests and it will be easy. lectures are not the most interesting. some of his jokes are funny but the class can get dull because he lectures for about an hour, and no one usually participates

Great teacher he knows what he is talking about. He has very interesting lectures. Four tests and one paper, if you talk to him he will help you out. He really wants his students to succeed. If you put minimal effort into the class you will get a good grade. Easy and Great teacher I’m taking him for all of my historical needs.

a really great teacher! his tests come right from the study guide so if you take the time to go through it you will do well. he's very passionate about history and is very intelligent. he has a dry sense of humor that some people just don't get, but he's very funny. he tells you exactly what he's looking for on the paper so it's not hard.

Scott is a great teacher! He is so clear with his expectations and wants his students to succeed. lowest grade is dropped. He lectures everyday just and you have to take notes. He will always say "you're going to have to know this" and that is how you will know that to write down.

Lovely man, great teacher, take him!

Mr. Howell is an excellent teacher! He is very knowledgeable, intelligent and has a great sense of humor. Take thorough notes during his lectures and follow the study guide. If you give detailed info. on the tests and spend quality time on your paper, you'll do great! I highly recommend this teacher!

Take is online 8 week class! Super easy, but a good amount of work. The tests are from the homework, just spend some time answering the homework questions, and you will have an A and learn alot too!

He laughs at his jokes. If you love history, TAKE HIS CLASS! For each point on the Study Guide, there should be 5-6 facts that you will need to write down. Don't write down just a few on the test. Gives extra credit. Will drop the first test score if it is your lowest grade. The tests are from the study guide which he goes over in class. Take notes

If you love history, take this class. This professor truly loves what he teaches, and he gives you everything you need to know. BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. History majors would love him, but he's not for everyone. I'm pretty much the only A in my class, because I like history that much. NOT AN EASY A. Have to show up to class and read book .

Took online: Pretty cool guy, always helpful in emails and willing to go into discussion about any issues. Straight forward and more organized than most profs. Does require reading the text and studying for exams, but not as extreme or inane as others (mainly Rabii). Recommended if you actually have the time to read and study for the class.

I took the 8 week online class and highly recommend it. It was a fairly easy A IF you read the book and do the assignments. The tests were fairly easy with plenty of time to complete - especially compared to Rabii (another family member took her-DON'T)The assignments were related to the textbook and helped in studying for tests. Take this prof!

I took World History with this professor. VERY EASY. Those who say it's hard are slacking off or just aren't studying enough. You do have to do a bit of studying (mostly for tests) but as classes go, this was quite easy.

People that fail his class just don't try. His lectures aren't that great, but he will tell you EXACTLY what will be on the test. His tests have no multiple choice. I'm a decent student and I got a high B in his class... His class isn't exactly easy, but its not that hard (and I took it in a 4 week class). He gives a few assignments that are easy A

He has really lame/funny history jokes. Take the honors class, it's a lot more fun to be in than the regular class. Has essay tests and research paper. I got a B in this class because I didn't read the book. If you skim the book and fill out the study guide with as much info as possible, you'll get an A for sure. Just go to class + read the book.

A Great Teacher. I got an A, in his 101 and 120 class. Just follow the book and the lecture and will get an easy A

Pretty good teacher. You could choose to do all the reading on your own, but it would be better if you went to class. You can read four chapters in eight hours in preparation for a test, or go to the lectures and have him condense it down to half the time. He only goes over a few things in the book, most of the things he mentions are in the tests.

I took this class online in 8 weeks. It was quite a bit of work but with very clear expectations. It was organized well and required you to complete several assignments including detailed definitions, a few 500 word essays, and other quizzes with short assignments each week. I never completely read any chapters and still managed to get an A.

He is a great teacher, extremely knowledgeable about U.S. History. His class is fairly easy, he does expect you to know material and context of the history being taught on papers and tests. You won't get buy if you skip out on class. Just don't take him for a 4 week summer session, to much material in such a short session. Great teacher overall.

I loved Howell's class! However, it's not for everyone. His class is challenging but you learn a lot. Tests are fill in the blank, short answer and essay. He gives you a study guide with terms and possible essay questions. If you attend class, take good notes and put in time to study you will do fine.

Professor Howell seems to be a genuinly good guy. He's a little dorky but is very passionate about history. Homework is simple, he doesn't even read it. Sound easy? It's not. His tests are killer! The material is hard enough to follow and then he grades the tests super analy. Like seriously! I had to drop the class as well as many others.

Howell is a fairly easy teacher. Where students fall short in his class is not paying attention to his lecture. He might hand you a vocabulary list in class, but if he lectures on something completely irrelevant, you can bet that lecture is what the pop quiz will be on. All in all, not difficult, just pay attention.

Smart, knows his stuff, and very informative. Did I mention he's seriously attractive? His looks alone made me want to go to class every day!

He is a very good teacher knows his stuff and gives you all the answers to the study guide which is the test. his test are super detailed you need to pretty much wirte what ever he said in the lecture he is very hard grader but other than that if you put in alot of studying you will do fine.

Howell was a seriously great teacher! All of his tests are essays (no multiple choice) so some writing skills are required to do well in the class. He gives out a study guide at the beginning of each section that tells what will be on the test. He is very passionate about history and it really shows. I loved this class and now I'm a history major

Great teacher. Very informative and passionate about American History. Also a Navy Vet. I took History 120 and after having a great experience I signed up for 121 right after. Lecture's directly followed the issued study guides, and the tests were created with questions right out of the study guide. Wish he taught more subjects.

Professor Howell is a very good teacher. He told us exactly what was going to be on the test and what we had to study. The homework was not hard only a paragraph each week. I would recommend him to anyone taking a history course.

This is one of the best history classes. If you need history, this is the class to take. He tells you ahead of time whats one the test so there are no surprises. I would definitely take this teacher again for 121.

I enjoyed this class. Teacher is good, tells funny jokes and explains everything that will be on the exams. People who complain about Howell don't even try to do well and expect to get an A. If you try just a little, you will get an easy A.

Easy A, but don't expect to get one if you don't try to do well. Howell is funny and a great teacher. Very clear about what will be on the tests, but you have to do the work. (Fall '10)

If you think you will get by easily in this course think again. Made the mistake of taking the summer online 4 week course and wow. Be prepared to do a lot of writing. It is a really easy to get a good grade but you have to be willing to put in the work. And make this the only class you do take online. If your lazy do not take this class.

Howell focuses on more than just learning facts about history. He wants you to actually develop an analysis and think critically and what I would say to a lot of people from my class is that they were missing that critical element that he looks for. I got a 50 out of 50 on both of the papers because I showed that I took something from the readings.

Howell is a great professor. He makes the class fun, clear, and interesting. He also makes it very clear what will be on his tests, and what he expects.

People who think that this class is too hard must be new to community college. You are expected to EARN your grade in this class. If you can't get a passing grade with this guy then be prepared get the same results at a university. I found this class rewarding due to the fact that I actually had to read the book in order to prepare for the tests.

good teacher, he pretty funny, and likes to go off on tangents a lot. he grades a little harsh on the tests, but that was only because he let us use our notes. the tests were easy i took him for a 4 week course.

I took him for a summer and fall class and he's by far better in a quarter class than in actual semester. During the semester he mostly plays videos and tries to crack jokes he never really lectures. His test are simple just google the terms on the study guide the test are open notes so you can use the study guide and get at least a B

I took him during intersession so the class was only four weeks and it probably wasn't the usual experience -- however, while the classes and lectures were long, the tests were on the easy side because he let you print out and use your filled-out study guide for the essay questions. He's a cool guy, it's not his fault the subject matter was boring.

i took this course over a 4 week period, so it went by very quick but Howell gave lectures, and the tests were based on these lectures and all tests were open notes. He was somewhat boring, but as long as you pay attention you should get an A

This class is a pretty easy A. He gives you helpful study guides and goes over everything you need to know for the test. He even held review sessions an hour before the test to give you a last chance to ask questions and add stuff to your notes. Take good notes based on the lectures and you can get an A because tests are open note.

Super easy class. He gives you the study guide for the tests well before its even time then gives you all the answers to his tests in his lectures. Open note tests so there really isn't any way to fail, unless you don't show up. Also he is kind of picky about you being there on time for class so if you come in late a lot he will get on you. Easy A.

I took Prof Howell for a Summer super accelerated class where we did 16 weeks of work in 4 weeks. So yes I expected a lot of work, but it wasn't crazy. Yes you have to read the book, it's history why would you expect anything different. Howell graded everything so quickly it was great and sent us updating emails.

Honestly Professor Howell wants you to pass. He offers so much extra credit from simply USING YOUR NOTES FROM CLASS ON THE TEST TO TURNING IN YOUR NOTES FROM CLASS to writing papers. It is impossible to not get an A. Other history professors are wayy tougher w/grading. Just show up, take notes, &you'll be fine. Literally no excuse not to get an A.
