best professor ever!

easy class, test are not that hard and just makes you do 4 essays which are pretty easy, higly recommended

He's awesome and filled with knowledge. He knows what he is talking about and his class is easy to pass. Great professor

He's a great teacher overall. Quizzes and work is in the groups you pick at the beginning of the semester. Midterm and final is an essay, and assigns about 3 essays throughout the semester. Easy class, and it's not so much work.

Dr. Comar is a really intelligent teacher. My problem was that I did not learn a lot in this class, because he does not make history interesting. You have two essays, and two exams the whole semester. You have workshops and quizzes, but you have a group to do them with. Easy class, but not so fun.

Dr. Scott Comar is a great lecturer with a lot of humor. He is disciplined and a hard worker that brings out the best in all his students irrespective of your cultural background. Just finished his course this semester & I must say I enjoyed his class the most.

If a student does the work and participates, they will learn a lot. this class will benefit those who are serious about going to college.

A good class. Average workload.

Mr. Comar, He is a great professor. He is friendly and prepared in class each time. I thought that i won't be able to understand history, despite that, i learnt more from his class. He guides students in forming outlines and understanding the main events of history. I enjoyed it and as long as you attend the class, do as he said, you will be great

Mr Comar's class went beyond the usual history. To do well in this class, you need to show up and do the work.

Lectures are long and boring but very helpful and if you pay attention you do learn a lot. I would recommend choosing a good group as you have a group quiz every week and you may end up doing all the work if your group is sub par. The test and in class work is open book and open note. A lot of extra credit at the end of the semester. Easy A.

Quizzes:group work/open book. Midterm/final: given ahead of time and can use an outline. Essays: prompt given way ahead of time, doesn't grade too bad. A ton of extra credit opportunities! Comar lectures most days but you really don't have to take notes? Honestly easier than a high school course! No excuse not to get an A!!

Professor Comar Is an outstanding professor he really helps anyone out in making sure they do great in his class put in a little bit of effort and it's an easy A

A big portion of your grade is based on workshops that you work on with a group of people, so choose the people you want to work with wisely. He gives a lot of extra credit but they are mostly papers on movies you watch in class. The midterm & final are essays. If you are stuggling, go to his office hours b/c he is very caring and helpful.

Pretty hard not to get an A in this class. The majority of the work is in groups, with the exception of mid-term, final, and short papers. A lot of extra credit and resources to pass. Highly recommended! Book is only used during mid-term and final.

Professor Comar gets straight to the point and is super clear on what he wants which makes it extremely easy to complete his assignments. The essays are super easy and you're given a format and sources. For the two exams, you are allowed to create an outline. Although he is monotone, his lectures are really interesting! Would take him again!

Take him. Extra credit. Outlines on blue book exams. Group/open-book quizzes-this is the only thing you'll need the textbook for but you can use someone else's in your group. about 14 workshops and two essays. Easy class. Consider doing the workshops and essays ahead of time.

Comar is a great professor. The only problem I have is how the TA grades. He isn't very basic as to how he grades and it's frustrating.

The lectures are a bit long because he does have a monotone. He is a great professor though. He lets you write your notes inside the front and back cover of the bluebooks, which are used for your essays. There are many group workshops and only two big essays. It is easy to pass the class with an 'A' just make an effort.

If you want an easy A in your HIST1301 ans 1302, I recommend Comar. He offers a ton of extra credit. However, the grading really depends on the TAs (which is unfortunate because when he does grade, he is an easy grader)

You can do well as long as you do the work.

Took History 1301 at EPCC with Mr. Comar, easy A, open book test, just 3 essays, pretty easy to do too, then i took 1302 at utep with Comar, and its no hard but T.A are tough graders, so i recommend you to take both classes at EPCC, easy A's

Very caring and kind man! Easy class as long as you don't take advantage and do all of the work. Everything is group work so pick a good group from the beginning! Gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. Assignments and blue book exams are a piece of cake!!!

If you show up and do the work, you will do well in this class.

Took Comar for 1301 and 1302, highly recommend you take him if youre just taking history to suffice your basics. Workshops every week and worth 15 points (super easy assignments), gives A LOT of extra credit, and in general is just a cool guy. Super easy class, just dont take advantage of him. Attendance is mandatory, he takes it for a grade!

Super cool guy, democrat, passionate about the subject, gives you clear instructions on what he wants from you, lectures a lot and HATES if he can hear you talking during, he will embarrass you in front of everyone, workshops and quizzes done in a group, do all your assignments and you will pass

Nothing too difficult. This class is doable and interesting.

Lots of lectures. PowerPoints are online. Lets you work in groups for quizzes and workshops except on midterm and final. Easy A if you do the work with your group.

Interesting and informative.

Mainly group workshops are given a lot of reading but it isn't hard. Quizzes are multiple choice and easy. Gives out 2 primary sources essays, and 2 blue book exams(midterm & final). Work on your essays and you should be fine just know your material and write about the important events. He allows you to write notes inside the blue book. Easy A

Easy A, no tests just essays.

He gives a lot of work however it is easy work, everything in lectures are in the quizzes which are easy As.

This was the easiest class I had the pleasure to take. He allows students to work in groups for quizzes and even tests. The tests are essays which are in turn are easy As. There are also extra credit options available via Clicker.

Took his HIST1302 as a freshman. Not a hard class but you will have to read a lot. Lectures every day and there is a group workshop every week from 2-20 pages. Mid term and final are bluebook essays but he is not a tough grader. There are 2 other essays worth 150 & 200 points each. All 4 essays are reading intensive.

There are workshops and quizzes you work on as a group, two essays (easy), and two blue book exams. None of these assignments are graded harshly, they're graded by TA's who assume you're an amateur. He talks a lot, if you care about history he gives good information but isn't very challenging. Take good notes and do all your assignmenrd, easy A.

Comar is a great teacher to have! His tests are essays and he lets you write your outline the night before. Quizzes are in groups and he takes attendance so go! other than that hes super cool and plays music while you do work and he lets you discuss during essay exams.

Awesome professor! Assignments such as workshops and quizzes are done in groups, lots of notes but moves quickly (so take photos of slides) Essays are not too hard, just read or skim through the sources. Extra credit is available through iclicker questions and sometimes essays about movies that he plays during class.

If you get the opportunity to take this professor, I highly recommend it. There is a lot of group work so I would suggest you choose a good group. The class overall was very easy, if you try. The biggest grades are based on essays that are fairly easy. Also the midterm and final are easy since he lets you bring notes.

Dr. Comar cares a lot for his students, he is charismatic and he knows what he is teaching. There are a lot of group projects but everyone shares answers before turning it in. What you must focus on are the essays, Dr. Comar helps a lot throughout the class so you can turn an amazing essay so there are no excuses for not getting an A.

Dr. Comar is one of the best History Professors you could ask for, he's pretty cool and really passionate about History. No multiple choice test, it's two blue book essays, quizzes, attendance, and two history papers that are your grade.

Dr. Comar is funny in a dad joke sort of way. He's lecture heavy and uses powerpoint so you don't really need the book. He does a lot of group work and you have several assignments due every week but their easy. If you put forth the effort you'll make an A in his class, you just have to show up. He does a TON of extra credit in class.

There are 2 essay papers, open book quizzes/workshops with groups. Midterm and final exam were writing exams, but he gave us the essay prompt several days before to prepare. He helps his students write their essays and gives examples that they can write about. Attendance counts. His PowerPoints are always online. Lots of extra credit.

I took Dr. Comar a few semesters back and loved the class! There are daily workshops that are done in groups and in class essays for the mt and f. Hes passionate about history and can be funny, which makes the class enjoyable and informative at the same time. I highly recommend taking a class with him!

Attendance does matter, test are based on lectures. Funny and caring professor over all

Super chill guy, during midterm he let us talk and work together. He grades pretty hard on essys but other then that he's great. Lots of extra credit.

One of my best professors

Dr. Comar is amazing! Hes so passionate about history which makes it enjoyable to attend his lectures! Class is fairly easy but he will offer tons of extra credit!

he was very passionate about teaching the subject, a great professor. although it was hard to communicate outside of class. don"t bother looking up answers for quizzes, you wont find them!! the class was fairly manageable, the essay prompts are given in advance and were allowed to make a cheat sheet.

This class is broken down to: iClicker "quizzes", group workshops, around 30, 2 mid-term essays, and a final, which is also an essay. The essays are based on the material learned in class, which is basically information off of a powerpoint. I also wouldn't recommend missing class. And lastly, the "quizzes" are used for attendance.

Easy class, go to the PASS sessions (Miner learning center) it will boost up your grade and the instructors help you with your workshops and essays, never miss class because he offers a lot of extra credit opportunities.

Dr Comar's class is lecture heavy, which gets boring pretty quickly, but not hard to get an A in his class. All grades are easy iClicker questions, easy activities from work book, and two essays (of which you get the prompts for days in advance, and you're allowed to make a cheat sheet). Def need the workbook but not the textbook. Overall not bad.

I enjoyed taking Dr. Comar's class because he is helpful, funny, cool, and amazing. I learn about Native American history and it was a fun class. I recommend to take him again.

Dr Comar's class is one of the best classes I have taken so far at UTEP. He clarifies everything and has a clear assignment schedule. He is passionate about his subject, which can seem boring to people who are not interested in history. Someone would have to be a real idiot to fail this class.

Comar was great! Theres two essays that are due during the whole semester which are easy and he gives you plenty of time! You get into groups at the beginning of the first class session and that will be your group for the rest of the semester. You will be working with them on the workshops! Theyre extremely easy! Easy class! Would recommend (;

Great History teacher! Lectures a lot! He offers a lot of extra credit and uses iclicker app. He is funny at times! Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should go every day because of the notes. 3 essays the whole semester. One book needed to do groupwork. I would take again!

Professor Comar's class is probably one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. He lectures very heavily and there is a group assignment every week. He provides a lot of extra credit opportunities. Overall, Easy A.

I took online, which is comprised of weekly responses to a reading and a small quiz, one big essay, a reflective essay, & 4 exams. The book is needed, but buy whatever edition is cheapest. An overall great teacher, he was always quick to respond to my emails. Extra credit! Writing heavy, can do in hour & manageable even with very full course load.

The subject was easy to understand but be ready to choose your group partners the first day of class.

4 essays throughout the semester but does give you topic ahead of time to start thinking and make an outline. Workshops and quizzes are done in groups so choose wisely ! Easy class with an easy A. Took Professor Comar for History 1302 and tried to make class fun

Dr Comar's class was fun and accessible. Comar is passionate about history. It is a good class.

His class was textbook centered. If you want to pass, you need to get the book.

Dr. Comar was very understanding this semester when my computer was having lots of problems with accessing assignments. He gives lots of extra credit (including attendance for zoom lectures and meetings). He is strict on essay writing and being specific to the outline he gives. Very funny. If you keep up with the work/readings, you will get an A.

If you keep up with your reading and do the extra credit it is almost impossible to not get an A.

It can be hard sitting through the lectures because he just reads through his notes and that can get boring. As long as you show up for exams and the workshops you'll be fine. Assignments are mostly easy but he can be very unclear sometimes.

Prof Comar is a down to earth cool dude. He has 4 total test and 2 papers. But they are too easy to not do well. Just read and do what he asks and youll be golden!

Professor Scott Comar is amazing, the setup of the class online weekly is a workshop, and a quiz for every week. You will have a short essay and a long essay and four exams. He will communicate with you and also there is extra credit for attending the workshops. I should've gone to end up with an A. I will be taking HIST 1302 with him again

I learned so much on this class.

It was a great class. I really learned a lot.

Most of his lectures were powerpoint based however, his explanations throughout lecture were very good and gave clear facts and points about everything he talked in class. Lectures are short but effective, and the homework and readings are not heavy at all.

I'm currently taking this professor and all I can say is take him. I always found history boring and somewhat overwhelming to learn, but this professor is great at teaching and making History fun and understandable. He also gives the opportunity for extra credit and the homework is pretty easy to get done. Awesome Professor!

THIS IS THE EASIEST CLASS EVER!!!!! I had this course as a First Generation freshman student and got an easy A. Only one essay can get an easy A if follow the structure of a well-done essay. Easy exams, all answers can be searched, group workshops which you have 1 per week ( easy A). Not a History person and I have an easy A

AMAZING PROFESSOR! He's very intelligent and you can tell that he knows American history like the back of his hand. we picked groups in the beginning of the year and most assignments were workshops with those groups from our book and he's very lenient w grades. Tests are online and very straight forward/ easy. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HIM!!

Very friendly and dedicated to what he is doing. His class setup is very organized and he made the assignments easy for us as long as we get the work done. Also, the TA and peer leader offer huge assistance by setting up review sessions and making sure everybody is on the right track

Dr. Comar's lectures are very intuitive. He answers all questions as long as they are relevant to the period of history he's talking about. His quizzes and tests are open book and collaboration is allowed. He also offers tons of extra credit. Attendance is graded though. Probably my favorite history professor.

Long lectures with easy to understand PowerPoints. Follows the semester calendar to an almost perfect T. TA Dion is a great help as well and constantly helping those that need it. Almost always a collaborative class and working in groups, on everything from workshops to exams to even the final. Strict on no late work policy. Great. class!

I'm currently taking this course and all I can say is TAKE HIM. He's class is very easy and interesting. We do workshops every week and exams that are easy to get done! My fav professor!

All work is online except exams but he lets us take exams in groups which helps a lot. I was worried for this class because history is not my strongest but he was great and gave constant extension on assignments without penalties.

I really learned a lot in this class. Lectures are interesting and he gave good feedback. You will need to read the instructions carefully for the assignments.

I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. It was a fun class, not really difficult.

Hes very chill the lectures are boring but you'll get by. all the work are pretty much group work so the work load is very light and he does ask for 1 essay.

A challenging course, I am not a history major and honestly picked it as an elective but his lectures are so interesting and fun that it made me find a love for U.S. history I never had before. Only very few teachers achieve something like that, he is a tough grader but he knows what he is talking about! Easy if you are a competent student.

Do yourself a favor and take the class with Dr Comar. His lectures were very interesting. He holds a workshop that consists of a sheet of three questions that you will answer using the book. Grading consists of workshops, weekly online quizzes, attendance, and an essay. The essay was extremely easy, as he gives you the full framework. Great course.

I loved profesor comar, he's classes are fun and interesting, you have to work in groups, just one essay and mini quizzes . he is a caring professor and i would really recommend him, im actually taking him next semester because i really liked his class

A teacher of the modern age, he cares greatly about his class and his subject. Please no loud/disruptive talking in class. He cares deeply about the topic and is very lenient, understanding that other classes have students under stress. There is a single essay, but don't let that scare you because he tells you exactly what you must write about.

Easy A! Weekly 500 word writing workshops, only 2 essays. Quizzes are multiple choice, final is not cumulative. Textbook is online, grades quickly.

Dr. Comar's class is probably the easiest class I have ever taken. This class becomes especially easy if you find a good group to delegate work with since there are 15 workshops that are done with your group. Attendance is taken with iClicker and the exams are EASY! Just don't be too loud during his lectures because he WILL CALL YOU OUT!

He's a really cool guy, very easy to talk to, and makes the class generally easy to pass but still very possible for you to learn. As someone with testing anxiety, I definitely wouldn't be too stressed out about the exams, and he's always there to talk to and ask for help when lectures are over or during his office hours.

Professor Comar makes learning history fun and engaging. His lectures are clear, and the course workload is manageable. unstuck ai was a great study tool alongside the textbook.

Just do the work, and you will get a good grade. Easy grader. No issue at all the semester I took this class.

Just an overall easy class and easy professor. He is really chill and goes a many tangents but in the end he gets information through to you. Encourages you to work together on assignments and on tests.

Professor Comar really made this class interesting. I thought history was going to be boring, but her really made it fun. Highly recommended.

Professor Scott is just made for this! There are really few professors that make you develop an unknown passion for history. I took his class as an elective, it is not my major but this course challenged me academically enough to demonstrate how competent of a student I can be. This class is challenging but the reward is priceless.

Really awesome professor. You can tell he is passionate about teaching and his class is very relaxed. All of the major exams were open-book. There were weekly quizes and a 3 question worksheet. Very easy as long as you show up. Highly recommend

this is my second semester taking a class with him and i'm so happy i did, at least for hist 1301 and 1302 i can say he is the best profesor. easy assignments easy test and you know he loves giving the class

Amazing professor. He loves to teach and is caring. He makes an effort to know everyone in the class personally. Super easy to talk to and compassionate.Will be taking him again. Btw anyone who wrote a bad review just doesn't make an effort to learn. I don't know what they expect from a college class...

Mr. Comar is actually great, I had initially left a bad review cuz i was drinking that day and I crashed out on here. I'm coming back to change my review, cuz hes actually a great teacher he wants everyone to succeed and his personal guidance helped me do that in this class.

Professor Comar was fun, not a very harsh grader but his work is based on the lectures so make sure to pay attention and take notes in class, he does require a textbook as well and the final is based on it so make sure you actually read it all.
