This teacher really knows his stuff. He likes the subject and always cracks corney jokes and says funny things to keep the students involved. He's very interactive, always excepting questions/comments. Besides that, his course is extremely well organized.

He will kill you in his papers and exams, expect you to do alot of work as if you dont have anything expect his class.

Very hard teacher. I remember working my butt off for that class. A lot of material, covers every detail, and most is not in the book because he likes to explain everything to the bone. If you work very hard, can get an A.

Thought it was going to be really tough when I got my 1st quiz back with a nasty "D", but mid-way threw the quarter I had a better grasp of what he was looking for. He is a nice guy who is willing to help. Ask questions, show up for class, you'l

will work you hard but fair

He seemed real tough in the beginning, but once you learn his style you are almost gaurunteed at least a B. The quiz questions are straight from the book. The informatoin for the arts tests can be found online. The lecture tests are asking you to regurgitate a chapter from the book. Not that hard.

lots of work in this class compared to some of the other hum111 instructors, however, i did get an a in the class and i think the guy has very in depth discussions. if you want to learn a lot this is the instructor to take. if you dont like to write, this is the wrong instructor to take :) overall a very fair instructor.

awesome teacher! you have to show up to class and do your homework (DO NOT do it the day your quiz is!!) very fair & helpfull teacher. Knows what he is talking about!

He grades harder than need be on the quizzes. I did all the review questions to prepare but he looks for even the smallest details and never seems to be happy with the answer. His hard grading continues on the midterm and final. He does atleast detail exactly what he's looking for in all the work assigned and isn't a bad person.

he is a great teacher, i got an "A" from his class. take him

Overall, he was a tough teacher. But if you make an effort it is possible to get an "A". He does give alot of work, but he gives all quizzes and test out ahead of time so you can study.

he is pretty tough and honest. but is lectures is out of touch. not organized with respest to the course outline. the book is not necessary and he tend to diverts lectures unparalled way, if u work hard u will get a B

Took his course online and for once felt like the teacher cared. Kind of hard on grading, a lot of work but at the end I felt accomplished. Always helpful with problems.

Professor Timmons is a great professor...if you are willing to put forth the effort. I think he appreciates student's who have some desire and personality in class. I would recommend him because his homework/tests are not difficult...just require a little bit of time!

If you don't get and A (or B) its cause youre lazy. He gives you the exact questions word for word for every quiz and exam. Just make sure youre quite thorough with the answers, i just read the parts in the book that had the answer and pretty much paraphrased the book and got 20/20 on every quiz. I think he's a cool teacher, with some dry humor

Dittio what was previously said. He gives you EVERY question you will be tested on. EVERY question is an essay, but still. There is no excuse (maybe if english is not your 1st language)to not get an A. I half-assed it the first 2/3 class, boogied at the end and got a B. He is smart (maybe too smart) and knows/enjoys history. NEED BOOK.recommend him

I actually worked hard to get my B. It overall was not difficult if you just want to pass, a lot of writing involved.

The class is a lot of work, but this is expected. You have to write a lot of papers, and theres a quiz just about every week, but he lets you use your notes on quizzes, and the arts test is take home. Good teacher.

I took this online and I loved this class and I can not understand how I was the only one in my class to get an A. The information is easy to find, read the book and read the extra readings provided through the website and you can find all of your answers. I loved that he appreciated a student's opinion and wanted us to relate to information.

I took his class online. It's a TON of work, and you spend most of your time writing papers, but he actually looks at them and gives feedback. If you put in the time and are a decent writer you ought to get an A. If you slack off you won't. Simple as that.

Expects students to actually learn the material. Brilliant as an educator. If you want to actually learn history and develop a new appreciation for art, he's your prof; If you want an easy skate through classes, find another professor.

Dr. Timmons is very knowledgeable & is willing to help students. However, if you are expecting to coast through this class you will be disappointed. Timmons expects his students to work hard, & he knows exactly what he wants. However, he does grade fairly.

The workload is a ton. Usually three assignments (which take me a few hours each) per week. On test weeks you have all of those plus an essay test. I don't even know how many days worth of hours I spent preparing for the tests. If you're up for a difficult course, go for it! However, if you have a pretty bulky schedule I would not recommend it.

I would recommend him. Expect homework but it's very manageable. If you do the work you should be able to easily pass. He is upfront about what quizzes are over and midtermsfinal.

One of my favorite professors at CState! Highly knowledgable, helpful, friendly, and hilarious. Preparation, homework, and reading are essential. All quizzes/exams are in-class essays, but he gives you the questions ahead of time so you can prepare, and allows you to bring notes to the exam. Take if you want to learn, look elsewhere for an easy A.

His lecture's aren't terrible so long as someone answers his open ended questions, he'll just stand there until someone does. He's helpful if you have questions but he's a bit odd. The grading isn't bad but the Journal Questions really add up so stay on top of the assignments.

Really tough class. Journal/review questions are lengthy and is more english oriented than history. Do homework everyday, get ahead quick.

good teacher also is willing to help answer questions. fair grader and explains why you missed points. good personality.

His lectures are informational and somewhat interesting, but has a lot of open ended questions and he'll wait until someone answers them. Heavy written homework assignments, but manageable once you get into the swing of things. He makes jokes and isn't too intimidating.

A pretty dorky teacher, but super nice. His lectures are interesting, however I suggest focusing on the book for tests, quizzes, etc. Open note quizzes and exams. The journal question are rather difficult and can become overwhelming. Overall great teacher + easy class!

Almost finished with my BA in History, I really like to reflect upon my history class with Prof. Timmons. He is tough, but you will rarely find another Prof. as knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about history or, simply enjoys actual learning and is not afraid to work for it!

A nice guy with a dry and sarcastic sense of humor which I liked. He gives you the questions to the quizzes and tests beforehand so you can just do them on your own time with the textbook and then copy them down in class from your notes. Make sure you keep up with the journal questions. If you don't understan your grade he's helpful if you ask.

I have a pretty high view of this professor. He understands that history can be hard to relate with, but presents it in a way that is equally hilarious and informative. He expects a lot of class participation and wants to do what he can to involve students in the banter during lecture. If you expect to skate by in this class, you will certainly not

He was very understanding kinda a hard grader. If you work hard you will do well

Lots of reading primary sources and notebook. Will need time and investment. Grading is tougher but if you put in the work you'll be alright. Professor makes many jokes during class in an interesting sense of humor and will ask for student responses often.

Professor has a fun teaching style. Participation and attendance are very important as lectures are very information heavy.

Very helpful professor. A lot of the reviews hyperbolize the rough patches in this class, but are highly inaccurate. He provides helpful feedback, and is quite lenient in grading. He is also understanding of late work in appropriate circumstances. Overall, great professor; if you want to take this course, his class is the way to go.
