Mr. Mccall was a good teacher who really likes to get his students involved with not only the class work, but the other students as well. He tought us how to use our envirinment as a resource.
Very blunt but a great teacher.
Great teacher full of energy
good class highly recommend it
The class overall was super boring and a total waste of time. This course should not be required. I enjoyed Mr. McCall, just not the class.
This teacher was a great source of information. if you take this course with this teacher, you will definitely come out the class knowing something about life in general that you didnt know before. great teacher :)
Very straight foward with what he wants to be completed.
This is a very asy clas. te only rthing he dosent do is put grades in until the end of the semester, howevr he is a very very helpfl teache and you can easily assthi class just by doing everything completley as he says.
Awesome Teacher Makes class fun and intereting
Class was failly easy if u turn in your work
I enjoyed the class and learned some good study habits.
Overall class went well, lacked clarity on when assignments were due. Lost one assignment. Overall great class! Good teacher who invests into his work!!
Mr. McCall is an easy teacher. As long as you show up, do the little bit of homework he assigns, and have half a brain you will pass this class with an A+.
Steven McCall was a good helpful professor
i like his class
class is easy and teacher loves to talk alot. he has good stories though.
This was a very helpful class. I was able to learn how to write a paper in third person and learned valuable tools and feel better prepared for future college courses because of the knowledge gained in this class. Thank you for making me look forward to going to class every day.
He is very good and complete teacher all around, Very helpful and friendly guy when you get to know him.
Mr. McCall is an amazing teacher anyone who takes this class I highly recommend. I am a very shy person and he brought me completely out of my shell because he likes talking with the class. Any assignments you have a problem with he will help. The paper that we did was a bug help in learning how to write a decent one. You can not go wrong with him.
GREAT teacher. I enjoyed his teaching and discusses we had in class. Would take him for all my classes if he would teach them all!!
class extremely easy not hard at all. really good discussion questions keep your mind open and keeps you very drawn into the lesson.
He is great Teacher. Very fun to be around and you will learn HOW to think for yourself throughly
enjoyed his presence he changed my views on alot
Mr. McCall is a very knowledgeable instructor. I have learned plenty from him. Good stories from the text. Awesome & original activities. I would certainly recommend him to others.
Overall the class and teaching was good.
MR. MCCALL IS A GREAT TEACHER AND WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM AT GMC. I REALLY WAS NOT INTERESTEDIN TAKING THIS CLASS BUT WHEN I MEET HIM HE MADE IT VERY FUN AND INTERESTING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM.
He was very informative on how he operated.
Mr. McCall turned what could hav beea dry and boring class into an entertaining class that inspired critical thinking and learning. He used many different venues, tools and tactics to accomplish this. i would recomend taking class with Mr. McCall.
I enjoyed this class. Mr. McCall knew how to keep it interesting.
He is a wonderful teacher.
enjoyed the class over easy and was a great class to take as a first college student would recommend this teacher to anyone i meet wanting to enter college. made the class entertaining and very active inside and out of class
Truly enjoyed the class, learned a lot about note taking and beening organized . Thanks for your help !
Mr McCall is a nice pretty cool teacher that stick by the book. He is very helpful.
i loved my professor i will take another one of his classes.
He was very engaged with the students. Answer every question that was asked to him. Tests were a little harder than most but if you studied and read the book the tests aren't that bad. Twitter is a little annoying but overall this class was very enjoyable and I world recommend it to anyone.
If you dont read dont take him. dont set yourself up but I made a C. Try to stick it out if you can.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY LATE TO EVERYTHING. If punctuality isn't your strong suit, take another instructor's class because you'll end up with a bad participation grade for being late a few times. He also requires you to use Twitter which contributes to the participation grade as well. The participation grade is worth 20%!
This was an interesting class because you kept the class alive and not boring.
Great teaching style. Very fair.
all in all this class was kick ass, i enjoyed the atmosphere. he kept the place interesting even though it wasn't his favorite part of history he managed to keep us entertained.
Cool class, if you come every day and are prepared to deal hard test.
This was an interesting class.
Taking Mr. McCall will make you enjoy history.
Salute!!!
Mr. McCall is an excellent history teacher, because he utilized humor to keep students interested in the material as well as focusing more on the politics of historical events. He also fairly grades coursework.
He stayed on top of us and the class learning assignments and really kept us on top of our feet so that we could pass his class.
Overall he is a pretty good teacher. I'm not sure if I would take him again but I highly recommend his to anyone.
If you don't enjoy history, I recommend you take this professor. He teaches it from a different perspective that you're used to. As a plus, he's funny and very helpful.
You made History very interesting.
He's pretty easy, if you don't like to do work then you will not be able to pass the class.
I like the class because it was easy. I didn't like the SEEI notes, mainly because I didn't understand it. Not saying you didn't teach it, I just wasn't sure on what to do. Overall the class was easy and you was respectful.
Mr. McCall is a very good instructor, he relays the message very clearly .
The class extends your knowledge in taking notes and writing a paper. The class teaches you how to participate in class more than you normally would.
He is a good professor. He wants us college students to succeed in college.
The class was great a good clear teacher.
He's really good at his job. i think anyone would love his class
My professor was amazing and he was straight forward with answers.
It was a easy course as long as you stay on top of yours assignments.
I thought the class was great. It was very useful when it came for me to study. I wouldn't have study as much if it hadn't been for this class and this professor.
This class is really easy. Mr. McCall keeps it interesting and ready to learn. Participation is huge in this class so be ready to tag in the conversation.
Very fun guy to have a class with. He is dedicated and helpful. Did not like having to get a twitter account for this class. Also, he accepts absolutely no late assignments.
The class was stupid easy a rock could pass with flying colors.
This was a great class. I wish i had more classes like this.
I liked the class. He made it interesting and fun so I was not bored.
Easy class to pass, if you show up and do your work.
Great teacher Cares about student and their sucess
he was a great teacher that made sure we did our work and challenged us to do new thimgs.
Class was enjoyable. Mr. McCall was a great teacher, made class enjoyable to attend. He gives good feedback. Easy GPA booster if you do the work. Easy class. I would take him in the future for another class.
Started off not liking teacher. Class turned around. Good class.
good, caring teacher. Specific in giving info on assigmnents
The class was very interesting. I never got bored. He gave awesome feedback. He also made me realize I need to think outside the box more.
Really enjoyed this class. Professor was very positive and funny. Professor made the class interesting but also was specific to instruction on what was expected from the student.
The teacher was great but the class was not my cup of tea.
Great instructor. funny
He's an awesome teacher. He loves class discussions and they get to be so hilarious that I love to come to class to see what we're going to talk about that day. He did make us take notes in all our classes for all the different notes styles but they were fine. He just wants to see that we made the effort for it. Overall awesome class
he was laid back and required work to be done, however the work was not hard or pointless. he graded fairly and was relateable
Read and re-read your syllabus. Great sense of humor, very helpful and easy to approach.
McCall kept me very interested in the topics we were covering.
Really great teacher. Gives great respect to his students and gets twice as much in return for it.
Really knows history so it's easy to listen to him.
Great Teacher
Made history class interesting instead of the usual stuff. Gives insight into alot of different subjects when teaching and differs from the traditional history that many of us have experienced in previous classes
I really liked him as a teacher. He knew what he as talking about and was not afraid to answer any questions. It was not a boring class, but it does require a lot of participation. Even though the tests were difficult, there were not many. You have to read the book and pay attention to the lectures. I would take him again.
participation is key for class, be ready to do at least one paper and accept criticism when given, always show respect and you'll get it in return two fold , Good sense of humor and always keeps your attention
Mr. McCall is good teacher. He is hard on them grades and for participation. But he tell you everything about the subject hows he break it down and give you more details. I wish he wasn't hard on my term paper or participation grade.
Mr. McCall is a very upbeat and comical professor. At first I wasnt sure how much I would like him but I think it was more because I could careless about history. I would take him again. He kept me laughing. Hes also pretty nice to look at even for a white guy. LOL I recommend him but be prepared to read, use Twitter, participate.
He was great in class and if you were willing and able to put in the work he would probably do anything he could for you. It was hard for me to get help out of him but he is a busy guy so I get it and felt like he would not have time for my questions.
I enjoyed this class. If you want to learned about History this class is for you.
The lectures are awesome, but tests are tuff if ya don't read. He is easy on the eyes. I hate history but this guy makes it fun
Mr. McCall is an awesome instructor. He has very interesting and colorful lectures. It's a pleasure to find unbiased teaching on historical issues.
Make sure you keep twitter around. Looking forward to signing up for your class when i take us history..
Mr. McCall has the gift of involving every student in discussion. Now some of the topics we discussed in class were a little boring, like history. I really enjoyed the movie The Exam, i guess cause the movie involved a lot of psychological events. I really enjoyed the debates on real-life situations. The use of twitter was fun. - D. Anderson
You have to work for your grade but he is a great teacher. Hope you are good at taking notes from a lecture because he doesn't give you very much info on slides. All around a great teacher.
Mr. McCall is very passionate about history and therefore, he grades the same way. Know the material by reading it not just the lectures. Understand ideas rather then memorize people places and event. Overall good course I would recommend to people that are serious about education.
Very energetic guy even with a busted up knee and wants the students to learn
Very energetic guy even with a busted up knee and wants the students to learn and gain more knowledge on history.
Very tough as far as assigned work.
Great teacher. Made history interesting.
Great teacher! Tough tests but I would take him again.
Great Class. Get ready to read a lot in this class. Always participate in class.
Mr. McCall was very thorough and expected nothing but your best.
You learn the material but the class is hard! Tests are hard, it's necessary for you to know the material throughly to pass. Make sure yo read and take notes.
He'll be hard 4 students not used 2 university level work and not willing 2 study, read, tweet & PAY ATTENTION daily 2 everything. Tests & research paper aren't easy but he tells what U need 2 know. He gives a few easy grades to help U. Prepares U 4 the real deal. Challenging but passable. Good at keeping U entertained if U find history boring. -LG
Mr. McCall is awesome. Although his lectures are long, he makes learning fun and he is very entertaining. He doesn't just lecture, he has students watch videos and he really helps out his students. Tests, there weren't many and he lets you use ONE notecard which is amazing but his tests are not hard if you study but they do have you think
Mr. McCall is a great teacher who loves his craft and provides an excellent learning environment. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in truly learning and understanding the topic.
Mr. McCall is a funny and great teacher who knows how to actually teach the material we learn, I really enjoyed the class and I feel like I will retain most of everything he has taught me.
The class overall was great, especially if you enjoy learning about history. The lectures were great, even when off topic you still learn something interesting. One thing I would like to see changed is that during notes that there be bullets instead of trying to figure out what all you need to write down and what is just off topic stuff.
Knows history very well. Only downside is you have to tweet him twice a week about the class. I would take his classes again.
Be sure to actually read in the book on the days you are not in class. He will help you if you ask for it but he isn't going to just give you the grade.
Every day of class I leave with a aching stomach! This professor is hilarious! He does require a lot of participation like tweeting .. nothing real serious. All tests are online. He makes history interesting. I have NEVER been bored in his class. He doesn't grade below a 50% on any assignment.
Funny teacher, can be really blunt so if you are easily offended I wouldn't take his class. His online tests are short so be prepared!
Decently easy class and he isn't trying to fail you. Most assignments are done online. Know your state's and capitals.
Really good teacher because he taught me how the four year instituons can be an what to expect. He definitely prepared me for future classes! Also, he is a funny and goofy teacher that will definitely keep you awake.
He is a good teacher, but you have to study and read. Do not write your paper the night before it is due and follow the rubric for the papers.
McCall is a good professor. But, you can not just sit through the class, you have to take your notes and write your papers. He is not trying to fail you, just do your work.
Mr. McCall integrates a textbook and various powerpoints to teach his classes. Mr. McCall also uses students in examples to get everyone more involved.
At first he's super scary and tough. Once you are there a few weeks you are clear about what he wants, and how he wants things done. That really helps. He is very nice and gives a lot of advice, but in the end its your grade that you deserved.
He is a very inspirational teacher that cares about your success. His class is tough if you don't read the textbook.
Mr. Steven E. McCall is great in terms of being a professor. However the flaw lies within his teaching method. He test over any and everything discussed in class and over the chapters assigned. This is a problem due to the fact that it is impossible to remember everything so it is hit or miss if you know the answers on the test.
McCall is great! He explains things very clearly and tries to make topics as funny as possible. Not only that but we can also talk to him on twitter after class if we have any questions.
McCall is a tough teacher and grades very tough. There are few grades so make them count. He is very nice and caring but can be mean and cold.
Steve McCall is very specific in his lectures and will always answer questions you have. I always have a good time in his class because he is an overall fun teacher and makes lots of jokes. He also uses people in the class to make examples that are relevant to the lecture topics.
Steven McCall's class is very lecture heavy and you will have to put work in to the get the grade that you want. When McCall does grade your tests and paper he will leave comments and you will see his clear grading criteria. Over all he is an amazing teacher and I would highly recommend his class over another history class.
McCall is a great teacher and gives great lectures. He tells you what you need to do and how to do it and expects you to do it the way he tells you. Not a very hard class if you read your book. A very fun person and makes class enjoyable.
If you don't study or read you will not pass this class. He is a fair grader and his expectations are made clear early on in the semester. He is hilarious and he will keep you awake during lectures.
Mr. McCall is a great teacher and knows his material. He expects a lot out of his students but only because he wants them to try their very hardest. The material is rather hard and there are a lot of papers to write following his criteria. His test are pretty hard but if you read and study you will succeed.
Mr. Mccall is very interactive and lecture heavy but make it relate to your life situations. He helps give you good feedback and how to prepare yourself for the next coming tests. Once you get to know each other he will became a really chill professor and someone you can go to him for a lot. His class is not hard but just calls for alot of work.
Great professor, highly recommend taking his class! Loved him and his class.
One of the best professors on campus.
You'll learn a lot, but he's tough. You have to make a twitter account for his class- tweet him a couple times a week and it's an easy 100. Very lecture heavy, take a lot of notes. Uses a powerpoint to go along with the lecture- write down those notes too. Pay attention to the way he wants things done (hint: midterm paper) and you'll make an A.
Mr. McCall cares deeply about what he does. He is a very passionate dude who truly wants you to pass the class. He is tough, but he will help you every step of the way to get the grade you want. He also gives an easy twitter grade, all you have to do is send two tweets a week for a grade!
There is no reason for someone to not pass his class. The class is easy but you have to do your work and not procrastinate. Quizzes and tests can be tough but if you've studied then you should be fine. He is a great professor and his lectures are always great and funny. You have to talk if he calls on you. You have to post twice a week on twitter.
Professor McCall is a professor that I highly recommend to anyone! He will find any way to make sure you pass his class. His quizzes are different but in a great format! Make sure to study and take notes to do well on the quizzes. His lectures are ALWAYS great. He will always make class super fun. Do let anything stop you from taking his class.
I wouldn't call Mr. McCall a "tough grader" he tells you what you need to do to succeed in his class. Just do what he says, you'll be fine. Granted, this class was virtual due to COVID, but I'm sure I would say the same for an in-person class. Even with it being virtual, Mr. McCall made the lectures entertaining - not many professors are able to.
If you come to class ready to learn and have fun while your learning, Mr. McCall is the Professor for you. Listen to what he's saying and take good notes. Mr. McCall made ways for those who had technology issues and was very understanding when issues arose. Professor McCall is very humorous and knowledgeable, he made class interesting.
He is funny and makes it interesting to go to class.
Mr. McCall is an excellent teacher. His class was by no means easy, but he gave clear guidance on what he expected. He is a great speaker and will definitely capture your attention. I definitely learned from, and enjoyed his class.
Prepare to listen and read over textbook material. Must be present in class in order to get a good grade. Take good notes and you'll be fine.
