The ability to interact with the class on discussions that affect each of us was great. Regardless of his tests or the quizzes or the class assignments. The class was great because we all had a voice and that is basically what he wants his students to leave with. Knowing that we can and should make a difference.

He can seem intimidating and blunt by the way he talks but he is not mean. He is very helpful if you just ask. Big on the class's participation. Workload is like the average high school honors social studies teacher. Lectures/note-taking, easy quizzes, and pretty small writing assignments. He provides study guide outlines for the midterm and final.

He is an amazing professor. Explains what he wants very clearly. Follow directions, read the material, post your discussions, and do well on the chapter tests and you will be fine. He conducts optional Zooms to explain the assignments to you and answer any questions about the chapters. Very good professor.

Not a single zoom recording, not a single slide show. All he did was quiz you on a textbook and write research articles without explaining a single assignment.

I really liked Mr. Akemon. He has really good lectures and tries to engage with his students. He does get sidetracked sometimes but the stories are interesting. Quizzes and discussion questions are easy (discussion questions just have to be 10 sentences or more). He's a tough grader with papers but it overall makes you a better writer.

He started off class by saying he had short-term memory loss and was a "proud hillbilly," so I was a bit intimidated. But I later found his classes interesting because he rambled about weird stories, which made class bearable.

As an online class, there wasn't much interaction with the professor—no Zoom meetings or recordings, mostly textbook reading. The class is easy to pass with time investment; quizzes and discussions aren't hard but require participation. He shares YouTube videos for added help. Could be improved but overall not the worst experience.

Nice and caring and grades like an English professor. He gives points off for a word that HE thinks should be capitalized. Gives one-time extra credit. He does amnesty week. He is late with grading and email responses. He gives great study guides. He requires you to respond to 1 classmate but doesn't give credit.

Very easy class. He is late on grading but willing to give extensions and retakes. His feedback is great, as well as the rubrics. Easy tests and exams with two chances each, questions will be different on the second attempt. All he does in class is read off powerpoints but he has great discussions in person.

Sucks. Grades harshly as if it's a damn English class. Takes all semester to grade. Lacks communication. Unorganized as some assignments are already marked “past due” at start of semester. Smh. Worst professor I've ever had.
