gives small assignments and covers what is on test.
Interesting, good class
Great teacher. Knows a lot about history and gives good lectures. The class is pretty easy if you show up. He gives you opportunities to raise failing test scores.
Good Teacher - Easy if you go to class.. FYI- listen to his lectures b/c they are the test.
Very easy A. Listen & take notes on lecture( the lecture is the test) I made an A on every test & didn't open the book once. Only 4 tests all multiple choice.
wonderful, wonderful teacher. very enthusiastic about subject, knows his stuff. didn't open the book once and made an A in class. if you go to class and take notes you will ace. highly recommend this teacher, he is really awesome.
If you write down notes to his lectures and study them, then it should be an easy A.
Awesome teacher. A joke cracker and not snooty at all, more than willing to help and creates a comfortable atmosphere with his straight forward & laid back personality. Learned a lot from his class, and his tests are straight from his lectures. Not book- I didn't even buy one a got an A in both of his US & World history classes. A plus that hes HOT
HE IS AWESOME! I love his old school lecture classes. He makes history interesting and his tests are straight from his lectures. No need to buy the book. Mr. Dineen is such a cool guy. I wish I needed to take more history classes cause I enjoyed very much being in his class.
He is not only funny but GREAT at keeping the lecture interesting!<--- Easy A right here. :)
This guy is great! I wasn't too interested in history before I took his class but now I really like it. He makes it interesting and tells funny stories. The tests are pretty easy if you show up for class. I definitely recommend it.
A Great instructor!!! Do not miss class ever as it all comes from the notes. No, he does not teach the test, but he tells a great story about history and will make the book come alive. Favorite is the lecture that ends with Caesar laying in a pool of his own blood...awesome!!!! He loves History...and you will too.. Great class!! you can get an "A"
I took him for Us History II and World History II. He is really nice and super funny. You dont really need the book for the class but never miss class cause the test is pretty much the notes. He keeps it exciting and he is really cute so not bad to look at.. Gives extra credit if you dont pass so easy to make up. YOU WONT FAIL.
He's nice, he's smart, he's funny, he's cute. The class is easy enough but it's also really interesting. Best class at Gwinnett Tech.
His lectures are like narratives. He makes the subject comes alive. You do not need the textbook but need to take good notes. There is no surprise on the test. Everything is directly from the notes and the tests are all multiple choice. He is personable, funny, and cute.
Love his approach to history . . . it's story to be told! Show up to class and take good notes and you will soar!
Mr. Dineen is an awesome teacher, and a good GPA booster. If you need a few points on your GPA, take this class and you will be amazed of the lack of difficulty.
Great Professor. Cares about his students. Would recommend him if you are planning on taking a history course.
He is by far one of the best world history teachers ever.he is so clear&whatever you have on your notes its whats going to be in the test.the way he talks about history &the way he teaches and it makes it seem like he's telling a story and you are able to remember everything he says.passed with class with an A!No book needed.Take him for any class!
Nice..helpful..and polite! I would definitely take him for another history class. He's so clear and he makes the history an enjoyable story..his class is never boring!
if you hate history take him he will make you love it i seriously though about taking another class just to be tayght by his and hes the bad on the eyes and really ny.. loved the class and no book is needed so save ur money
Amazing teacher. I have never liked history before, but he makes it like a story. Classes are interesting. Take note and ask questions and you will most definitely have an A!!
He was a great profs. made the class fun and we watched lots of videos which really helped conncet to the past
great teacher i never got the text book just took notes and had a recored it work wounders. A great teacher very into to what hes teaching and clear and willing to answer any questions you have. i hated history class all my life untill i took his class i will be taking his class again in the future. i passed his class with an "A" thanks
Love this instructor.. He is cute, the best history instructor... he really cares about his students. I could take this class again...just because of him...
This guy is great! He makes all his lectures really easy to listen to and won't put you to sleep. Funny and his tests are exactly what you learned in the lectures. I highly recommend him. Best teacher at Gwinnett Tech I've had so far.
He is theee best! One of my fav professors. His class was always interesting and I dared not skip a lecture!
Great teacher. I love coming to class and listening to him. I am passing with an A and have yet to study for a test. I have the textbook, but only use it for reference when clarifying my notes after lecture. Don't really even need the book.
awesome teacher. for all of those who hate history--he's the one for you! my favorite class.
One of the best history teachers out there. He just loves the subject and makes "history snobs" love it too.
Best history teacher I ever had and will have. He makes history interesting and fun, something which I thought was quite impossible to do. I would strongly recommend other students to take his calss.
Mr Dineen is amazing. He has a way to explain history to make it very easy and interesting. Even if you hate history you will love this class. He is pretty straight forward, what you see in class is what you will have on the test. He is not trying to trick anybody on his test. Not only I got an A very easily, but I really learn from this guy.
Very informative course. Great instructor!Makes class fun. Highly recommend.
He's a great teacher, but I've had better experiences with other professors. This class overall was ok.
Best professor I've ever had.
HE is an Awesome Teacher! You would Regret if you don't take his classes!! He teaches History like he is telling you story. You will NOT forget his lectures, because you won't memorize them. Happy to had his classes. (U.S I and World I ). I wish all of my teachers were like him. I always had As in his tests. One of the best teachers EVER...
Best teacher take him for class, listen, learn, and have fun.
He lectures but he follows the time line of History. The test follow your notes so if you study your golden. He's a good person at heart, if you need help with anything hes there for you.
I will surely take another one of his classes. Lectures are long but easy to follow, He keeps you engaged at all times. He keeps the class entertaining and it is very clear that he has a passion for history. Virtually no homework, only five assignments in the semester. He is one of those professors that will make you see things differently.
Mildly strict, but teaches the material in an entertaining way. No phones. He hates them. But he makes the information needed come across as a narrative and makes it clear to understand. Funny guy and would definitely take again if my schedule permitted.
Mr. Dineen is awesome! TAKE HIM! Joy to be in his class.
Professor Tim is a great teacher. He knows his job well. He is very interesting and makes learning easier. He has a great personality. He loves his student and want them to do well to. Take him for any Hist. and you will not regrets. I got an A in Hist. 1. And I an taking him for summer for U.S Hist. 1. He is always on time and ready to teach.
I did not learn much, but I received an "A".
If you show up and don't sleep you will pass. Teaches history extremely well and formats it as story time. Actually had fun learning about the civil war.
With out a doubt best teacher I had my time at Gwinnett tech he doesnt make it difficult like history essays just listen make sure to take notes and it should be easy for any student who interested in history
Professor Dineen brings history to life in his lectures. Easy A. All the test questions are from his lectures and the key terms list. I recommend recording the lectures. He does a question and answer before tests. He has an outline for every class. If you want to take good notes print the outline and leave a lot of space between topics.
Mr. Dineen is the best instructor I have had in college. The tests are based on the lectures, while the homework is based on the textbook. Bring a voice recorder!!! If you miss a class, you miss test material. When I needed help, he was very quick to respond and work with me. He jokes around and makes students comfortable.
Tim is the bomb
All test even the final are online!!!!
Mr. Dineen is one of my top two favorite teachers at Gwinnett Tech. I am currently in his World History II. He brings history to life. He also gives "subtle" hints on test material ("This battle is REALLY important".) Bring a voice recorder, it helps. Every test is based on the lectures. He is very nice and willing to help students.
I have taken Mr. Dineen's class twice my college career. I wish he could be my professor for every class. He has made history a very interesting topic for me. He bases all of his tests off his lecture so you must be a great note taker/listener. He is the coolest guy, very funny, and he cares a lot about his students. He is awesome!!!
Mr. Dineen is an excellent teacher. He is exceptionally good with his students, because he cares if the students learn the material. Also, he is very supportive. If you have a problem he will help you and keep you motivated to do your best. If you take good notes and study you will be a good grade. He is an awesome teacher.
Mr. Dineen is the bomb! His class was super entertaining it went by fast. The tests are based on the lectures so make sure you take good notes. It works to print the lecture outlines and use them as guides during class! Follow those rules and you will get an A for sure :)
This professor is absolutely TERRIFIC. He knows the subject like the back of his hand, and he speaks clearly so that you can understand it. He expects you to respect him, and he respects you as the student, too. He wants you to know the material well and to do well on his tests. I would definitely take him again. Great professor
Professor Dineen is awesome. He loves what he teaches and tries to keep everything interesting. I don't really like history but I really enjoyed his class. Quizzes are based on his lectures while the test are based on the text so show up for class and take notes on lectures. Would highly recommend him!
He loves what he does and he has the answer to all your questions. He makes all his lectures interesting. If you attend class and read a little bit, you will get an easy A.
An awesome teacher! Cares about the class and what he's teaching. Didn't like cell phones in class, (will call you out and kicked a student out one time). Lectures are interesting and fun, and every once in a while he'll just play a movie for the class. Test are easy as long as you take good notes. Would highly recommend his class.
Great teacher. He lets you know what is due ahead of time and strongly encourages that you get your hw/test done out of the way early. Don't use your phone in class or he will call you out. He tells history like a story a story rather than a lecture. I've always hated history until I took his class. Definitely would take again :)
Professor Dineen was my first college professor, and really nice step into the college world. He was respectful to his students, was an excellent lecturer, and didn't waste time- he'd just jump in to the lesson. I have never been as excited about history- I'd go home and tell my family about it. Wonderful professor.
Truely enjoyed taking his class. He does a great job of telling stories and making the leture memorable. If you pay attention and take notes you will do good on his test, they are very straight forward. He makes it easy for you to succeed.
Mr. Dineen is wonderful, great, super, fantastic!!!! to sum it upTake His Class!!!!!
I took the online class and I can definitely recommend Mr Dineen. He is very knowledgeable and organized. Very particular about the weekly discussions' content. Course has 11 chapters, 11 multiple choice quizzes , 11 discussions. Mid-term and Final exam are online and open-book. To be successful you need to get ready to do a lot of reading!
I am a dual enrollment student and have taken his classes the past 3 years. He is very knowledgeable on everything he talks and he does his best to make sure everyone understands the topics. He will call role every class so he can learn your name/face and get to know you better. If he offered more classes I'd use them for electives but he doesn't.
Great prof. Participate. If you don't pay attention in class you won't pass the test.
I took two of his classes was back in 2011 and even to this day I still remember the impact he had on me. Hes an amazing story teller which makes learning so much fun. You do need to be in class in order to pass tests- but hands down the best prof Ive ever had.
This is the hardest class ever. His test are extremely hard and long. Don't take this class if you want to pass.
I had Prof Dineen for World History I. Very in depth and well spoken guy! He covered the materials exceptionally well and engaged the class. Would take again for sure
Amazing lecture skills! Although, that is his only method of teaching besides the 4 online assignments you have (the internet makes a better text book *wink wink*). It is such an engaging class and he recognizes each and every student. Easy class, I am a bit of a history nut, but my friend in that class who hates history was able to get and A
Mr. Dineen is a smart and extremely knowledgeable on World History. BE sure to read your textbook thoroughly and write notes after each chapter and in class if you want to pass. Mr. Dineen makes the lecture interesting, funny, and easy to understand.
he was so rude and i was in the hospital for a day and he wouldnt let me make up a chapter work. he was very rude and no help at all
I took this class online. The instructor was firm but fair. He sent out lots of emails that had all the dates of the assignments and quizzes. The class used MindTap, which was a little confusing at first, but easy once you got used to it. Good class.
Took his hybrid class, mainly online, with one day in campus. Mr. Dineens great both on campus and online. Plus he's easy to reach and caring.
This class was easy and really fast-paced I took the summer course. As long as you read your textbook and do your work it's an easy A. He is awesome and really helpful and gives good feedback!
I am a dual enrollment student at GOC and the US History 1 course I took was one of the best I've had. You need the textbook to get all your primary work done and you will have to do discussion posts on some units. My class was fast paced so it was complete by the middle of the fall semester which I thank God for! It was very easy!
i listened to all of the reviews and took him. really nice and easy teacher! he makes sure you understand the material. i never read all of the textbook too much, i personally didn't really need to. i took him for history 1102 as well and passed with an A:). very nice guy, wish he taught more classes.
Had this class for Fall 2021 and it was pretty easy. Textbook is required. Discussion and quiz due every week at 5 PM so make sure you don't forget because you will get a zero. The final exam was hard because it wasn't based off what we learned. If you're failing the class and fail the exam you will not pass.
Took him for a Dual Enrollment class a year ago online, and still remember him to this day. Great guy! Just do the work and you'll be fine
One of the worst professors that I ever had.
Class was good. Assignments were due every Friday at 5.Not too hard. Don't turn in late or you won't get credit.
I have taken online courses with Tim Dineen through Gwinnett Tech and the entire experience has been smooth and successful! Mr.Dineen clearly lays out all the expectations and the workload. The textbook that comes along with the course and is mandatory to be able to complete most classwork. Overall, the course was my favorite out of all my classes!
Easiest class I have ever taken. Took it as a mini ester and still finished a month in advance. Textbook is required but only necessary for the access code as there is an online one. No lectures, mainly just basic quizzes and a few simple discussion posts.
I took US History with Gwinnett Tech as a dual enrollment student, and I had professor Dineen, and he is amazing! He lays out his expectations so you know exactly what to do. There is a discussion post with each chapter, and if you answer the question and cite from the textbook the discussion posts are very doable.
Tim Dineen is a nice guy, and a good grader if you put in work for the essays you write. There were two tests and an essay per week for the 2 month mini-mester. Tests were difficult, but not too bad. Beware of his late work policies. However, the final for this class had NOTHING to do with anything, it was insane. It was basically an English final.
Take him! You won't regret
easiest class I have ever taken I will always recommend him the requirements were very straightforward and quizlets for the information could be found anywhere for studying :)
Professor Dineen was a great professor. All test were lecture based so show up to class, but not mandatory. He doesn`t read from the book he makes it interesting as possible. He always gives you updates on what is due week of if not earlier. Highly recommend him!
Would recomend his class! His tests were easy, just show up to class and take notes.(class is not mandetory). His classes were him storytelling and you take notes, he did a good job at trying to make the class intersting. Let's you know ahead of time due dates and makes sure to remind you as the dates get closer.
Easy class! You can use the textbook while completing the chapter quizzes. Attendance is not mandatory, but the class I took was online and asynchronous. He does NOT take late work, so complete assignments on time and you'll be fine. I wouldn't recommend taking the Mini Semester class because you'll have to read 3 chapters a week.
The final is nothing like the things you read throughout the textbook, it is more like an English exam but it is easy if you know how to analyze documents. As for assignments, he is VERY strict on the deadline and it will be a 0 if not submitted on time. Also, the assignments were pretty easy, it was 2-3 quizzes with a discussion post.
Go to the lectures, tests are based on them. I loved this instructor and I would def take him again but would actually go to class. It's better attending the lectures while it's not required to instead of having to cram in every part of the chapter. Tests are quite easy if you attend the class.
This class is very manageable, especially with consistent reading—crucial during a mini-semester. The professor teaches another course with a similar format. The structure is clear, and materials like quizzes and tests are easy to find. Overall, it's straightforward and organized.
finished this class so fast, very straight to the point assignments. Good and fun professor, definitely would take again!
very good and understanding, amazing lectures. overall easy class. great professor.
