Really nice guy. His exams aren't hard, and he will help you a lot if you need to.
He didn't seem very happy to be in the classroom. Presented the material well. Recommended.
GREAT TEACHER!! Makes you laugh a lot :)
Awesome guy, always helps when needed. Funny sense of humor too, cool dude.
the best
He's a really cool guy. He's so funny and he always makes the class laugh. His assignments and exams are really easy. I would really recommend him!
I just love this guy!!
fun teacher
Excellent professor
as laid back as possible!
He is alright as a teacher. The work is easy and the class is laid back. You really cant go wrong. He justs seems a bit to laid back like he could care less about being there which made me want not to be there. Still, he was a good teacher to have. I hear Ribar is MUCH better.
Great teacher.gives out the 6 paper due dates the first day of class. very clear on what he wants in a paper. approves topics also, so you cant go wrong. very laid back and tries to help us enjoy the class. buy both books because you will use both all the time!
very easy professor, he's not too tuff on grading papers. always late for class and always lets you out early. professor is very laid back and loves his gutair.
really laid back. he is always late. doesn't really teach that well but all tests are open book.
best teacher ever!
I like his teaching, he is laid back but he does make sure you understand the material. He lets you out early and he make class fun.
best teacher ever - so funny
i took benham over the summer and it was the easiest a. He tells you exactly whats going to be on the tests, and theres plenty of classwork incase you get a low grade. The essays are easy and he's also really funny! best teacher I have had so far.
gosh , he is the best englich professor i have ever had , wish all my english teachers r like him . anyways those of u reading , he is a great teacher ,will make the class the interesting by cracking jokes , and oh yah he leaves u really early ! one the best teachers ever
One of the best english teachers I ever had. There are papers but he helps with every one of them. Just ask for help. Tests are ok. I am not a test taker and I did well on them. If you have any questions he will answer all of them. All you have to do is ask. I liked the class. I took ENC1101 and ENC1102. Cool teacher.
Great teacher. Extremely laid back and fun loving. He's always cracking jokes and ending classes early.
HE IS A VERY FUNNY TEACHER THAT LOVES TO JOKE AROUND, HE DOES HAVE 6 ESSAYS 3 TEST AND HOMEWORK TO ACCUMIULATE YOUR GRADE. OVERALL HE IS A EASY TEACHER AND I AM HORRAIBLE IN ENGLISH AND SO FAR IM PASSING THE CLASS.
Mr Benham was a really good teacher. he was funny and always made class not so serious. If i was attending pbcc next semester i would look for him again for my next class. the class consits of 5 essays and like 4 tests. He isnt a hard grader. And essays arent hard because he explains a lot. TAKE HIM!
AWESOME TEACHER!!!! I USED TO HATE WRITING ESSAYS, BUT HE ACTUALLY MAKES IT FUN AND EASY. THERE ARE A LOT OF ESSAYS (5) BUT HE MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT HE EXPECTS FROM YOU, SO ITS NOT TOO HARD TO GET A GOOD GRADE. HE'S ALSO VERY FUNNY AND LAID BACK, BUT YOU STILL LEARN A LOT. I WISH I HAD TAKEN HIM FOR ENC 1101
5/08 Mr. Timothy Benham is very awsome professor which is the best professor for ENC1102on Boca Campus.I wish He could be teaching a different class.Fun, laid back enjoy teaching and you will love it writting. I highly recomemder him for Enc1102
Professor Benham was a great teacher. He made class fun and interesting but you also learn alot when it comes to writing. I would recommend taking him!
Prof. Benham was one of the best professors I've had so far. His assignments were not difficult and he was extremely helpful. He also had a great personality and I recommend taking him for any English class he teaches.
Alot of writing because he has to satisfy the Gordon Rule, but its very EASY because he is CRYSTAL CLEAR with directions. He is very UNDERSTANDING and answers all questions. He is very funny when he wants to be. Oh...and he will not waste your time. If he's finished lecturing in 5min, class'll be over in 5min! LOL!
Easy class- pay attention you'll do fine. Lots of writing because of the Gordon Rule - makes English easy.
he is awsome take him...lowest u can get is b
hes pretty laid bak and easy. just do ur work and he will pass u
I thought that he had a fantastic ability to thoroughly explain complex information in a manner that simplified it, making the information easier to learn.
by far the most laid back guy. very easy class if u pay attention and write your 4-5 essays is the semester. really cool. super hot guy. if u are uninterested in english, you will have fun in this class no matter what. and it also helps that he is super hottttttt
He was one of my favorite teacher at PBCC. You need to know how to follow direction and how to write a good paper. i loved that guy, if i had to take that class again i will definitely take him... He's great!!!
i learned so much from his class , extremely funny & makes writing easy!! only a few papers & easy tests
Professor Benham is one the most engaging and interesting teachers I've ever had. So glad he made the trip up to the Lake Worth Campus to teach our class this semester. Not a class you want to miss, He's awesome and not to mention funny.... Love him!
This professor is very nice and helpful. He is not hot like the previous person said. I would recommend him.
He is very laid-back. You write 4-5 essays throughout the semester. Some in class essays as well. Kind if monotone. On the essays, as long as you follow the MLA format, you will get a good grade.
5 papers, NO tests. Allows 3 FREE absenses, but wil deduct 25 points for each extra absence. HIGHLY recommend. Funny guy. Explains what he wants thoroughly! Did not mind attending his 8am class at Broward College.
great guy loved hes class very funny
cant exactly say this class is an easy A but it isn't very hard. Definitely not a class for slackers. About six papers due all of which he goes over clearly. Attendance is an issue... my grade went from an A to a B because i had 6 absences. all in all... pretty good class!
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude if you are in need of a cool guy with an amazilingly soothing voice, that helps and gives extra points/credit opportunity GET TIM. HE'S TOO FUNNY MAN
He is a great teacher and learn a few new things. The essay are very easy but only thing is attendance is important don't take this class if u are going to miss 3 classes
Professor Benham is very cool. He tells you what is expected. I took his class over the summer and did great.
Very hard to fail this class!!!He works with you to make sure you get a good grade. and lets you make up work and even redo work if you didn't get an a and want a better grade. very funny!!
Seriously, best teacher I've had so far. Very funny and very clear. Also, I actually really loved the stories we spoke about/wrote about. I can't stress enough how helpful and friendly and FUNNY this teacher is. Very laid back. If you like to write, you will love this class and best part: NO TEST! Only a final exam.
this class is super easy. there are a lot of writing assignments but he grades the papers easy. i didnt get below an A on any of my papers. exams are super easy and he tells you what exactly is going to be on them.
Was a little hesitant about this class at first, but my taking it with this teacher proved to be a good choice! Professor is smart, witty and laid-back. Textbook use for either book is about equal. The essays count for A LOT, so write them. He will let you rewrite 2. Lets you leave early often. :) Recommended!
Professor is very laid back, and funny. There's a narrative,cause/effect,compare contrast and 2 other essays. Let's you rewrite 2 and also gives points when you do corrections. TAKE HIM *he also let's you leave early.
cool guy, very interesting class discussions. the dude is laid back and chilled, he is a good teacher overall.
Very nice professor and funny too. Very laid back class atomosphere. There are a few papers,(narrative,cause/effect,argumentation,process,compare contrast,and classification) he lets you rewrite them/corrections and you can receieve up to 10pts on the essays. I would def take him again. TAKE HIM! you wont regret it
he's a good and funny teacher. I hate writing but it wasn't that bad with him. I recommand him :)
This professor is amazing! he's very laid back and funny. Sometimes we get out of class early, we have about 6 essays this semester. Dont freak out, he goes through them and tell you exactly how to write the paper!I really enjoy this class & I'd take him again. Easy class, pay attention and do good on your essays & you'll be fine :)
Professor B is AWESOME! You will not go wrong if you take his class. The essays (5 or 6 of them) might seem hard but he gives detailed notes on how they need to be written. Attendance matters but why would you want to miss his class?
THIS PROFESSOR IS AWESOME!!! Explains all assignments for like 3 weeks up to the due date! Class is so fun, he is really awesome and funny! I strongly recommend him!
Great professor!! I'd take his class again if I couuld! Very layed back atmosphere and funny topic discussions. I learned a lot and I'm very satisfied with what I learned. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Amazing, easy A
cool funny guy I definitely recommend
Probably the best professor that I have had at PBSC. Explains everything to the Tee and the class is really fun! Def recommend
The coolest teacher at PBSC. He is very knowledgeable and understanding. He gives options for the paper but the final paper is strictly based on a single mode of writing. easy A, can't go wrong with him.
Awesome teacher
He's a very intelligent teacher. Only 4 essays(1000-1200). Interesting, funny, and teaches what you need to know to be a successful writer. Can't miss class or you miss notes and homework. Best English teacher ever!
Just one word, Awesome! He is very nice and easy.
Professor Benham is an excellent instructor. He makes the class enjoyable and lighthearted. He stays after class to assist students with any questions they may have. He makes assignments clear and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend Professor Timothy Benham for ENC1102.
he is great . if you ever have any issues he is very understanding and helpful . i received a c but i missed a lot of classes. i would recommend him.
I took this Professor for ENC1101 and ENC1101L this summer, he's an awesome professor and funny. There's a couple things to do that will help you maintain a good grade in his class: writing all 4 essay, homework, quiz and good attendance. Trust me, I will miss Professor B. Take him now before you regret it! :)
helpful feedback. Informative lectures. nice balance of textbook questions and his own questions. Highly recommend him. He is not a stickler for tiny mistakes like some professors.
He starts out very monotone, but once he is comfortable he has an excellent sense of humor, very detailed and clear of what he expects, holds awesome class discussions and challenges his students on socio-economic ideology. I wish he taught more classes, he's awesome. TAKE HIM!
Professor Benham loves what he does. Do the work and you will be rewarded. He's a lenient grader. Very clear with what he expects in class and assignments. It's a shame my class wasn't that involved in discussions. Strongly recommend taking him.
Professor Benham is the bomb dignity! All you need is a little effort and a few sessions at the writing lab. I got an A in the class by putting forth a little time and writing good papers. I had a tutor check my papers for errors before turning them in and I never received less than an 87%. Take him, entertaining professor and overall Great class!
AWESOME! He's know his subject, and is great at teaching it. He's also funny at times.
He's wonderfullllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE PROFESSOR BENHAM. Super easy class. Got an A. 4 papers entire semester, no tests. If you fail this class it's because you never show up. Easy classwork from the book and he's a super funny guy. I enjoyed the class !
He's clear on what is required! Put in effort and write using proper English without slang and without text talk and make sense when writing, you will then do great in this class! He is wonderful but will not just give you a grade if you don't work for it. Take him! Great Class!!
Professor Benham is very helpful and will help you right good papers. He is very easy going he let you turn in late assignments (homework) if turn essays late he will take points of. I hate writing and this class was super easy.
Professor Benham is amaziinnnggg. He is so knowledgable and he knows how to teach. He's so informative and helpful.
Great professor! I don't like writing but it was not too bad with him. He explains how to do the essays so there's no confusion. This class is definitely not for slackers though you gotta work hard to pass but as long as you try you will be alright :)
good professor! Do the work and you will be okay!
Very good professor. The homework counts a lot for the grade -plus the essays.
The class was easy and the teacher will help you when you ask him.
Ohemgee! What's not to like about professor Benham!? He is absolutely an amazing teacher!! Take him!! He is so funny and if you have outgoing classmates, he will make the class interesting and fun! I miss that class so much.. I wish I could take that class all over again.. He is super helpful and clear. I give him a thumbs up. Y'all won't regret it
Simple and easy! Will defiantly take again for enc1102.
Amazing Professor! I can't wait to take him in Enc1102! He explains what he expects from each essay in great detail. He will go over your essay with you before the due date and help you make corrections. Show up, do the work, and you will get an A. His classes are entertaining, and he is really helpful. Take him, you won't regret it!
Professor Benham is one of my favorite professors! I took him for ENC1101 as well and he cares about his students. He helps you with ideas for your papers and he actually takes out time to remember everyone's name!
Classes are not that long. You will be assigned many reading assignments, but they are easy. The essays were based on very broad subjects which you will have to narrow down, but that is easy too. He tells you what he expects and will look over your essay during class which is nice. Overall fairly easy!
Really good teacher, and I would take his class again. He is really funny, and will always be willing to work with you if you put effort into your work. He does accept late work, and does set up a date to go over essays with students. Classes are not very long, and for ENC1101 only four essays were assigned on very broad topics. good teacher
He is the BEST!!!!! Will always help you if you need it! 4 papers during the semester but he goes over each and every thing he expects and what to double check. He is very helpful!!! GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!
he is a pretty chill guy. very easy. only has a couple papers to do but he takes 3 classes explaining what he wants and how to write it. has little bit of h.w but if which is to read a short story and do an online(5 question) quiz(had like 2 class quizzes but they were the same questions ). usually lets us out early like 10-20 mins early.
He is a very down to earth teacher!! Soooooo nice, he wants you to pass!! Defiantly taking for ENC1102.
I recommend him a lot his easy and not a hard teacher at all.
Professor benham was one of the hardest professors i took my freshman year. The only easy part is those online reading assignments. They are usual 5-10 q's. Do those assignments they could save your grade. I was never able to please him with any of the essays i did . How is it possible to receive the same exact grade on every single essay .
Professor Benham was my favorite professor for the Fall 2015 semester! He is a very easy going guy & seems to really care about his students. We only had 4 essays to write, but we had homework almost every class- it was SUPER simple, though. We just had to read between 2 & 3 passages of the book, & then take an online quiz (5-10 q's) for each story
Professor Benham is a really easy teacher. He gives you feedback on all your essay's and will tell you what to do to make it better. He's super nice and laid back. Take him if you want to pass.
A lot of reading and writing. The Books are a must. Easy going Professor makes class fun. Would take again.
Take this Professor!!! Best English professor you'll ever have, you wont regret taking him. Super chill and funny and very easy. I will definitely will be taking him for ENC1102!
TAKE HIM! He's the best! He gives amazing feedback on your papers and is always willing to help you out. You must have the book or you wont pass. He's super nice and laid back. I'm definitely taking him for ENC1102
Awesome instructor! Cares about students. Explains what is expected for each essay and gives great feedback. Definitely recommend him.
Professor Benham is one of the coolest teacher at palm beach state. He gives good feedback to your essays and knows what he doing. He has a little problem with his voice but you'll get over it after a while. Its an easy A if you do what he wants you to do in his essays but other than that hes good.
Professor Benham is was my favorite teacher thus far. He is clear and explains assignments well. Funny guy, great attitude, and assigns easy homework. Absolutely loved him, wish he taught enc1102.
Professor Benham is Awesome! I took him for Comp 1 and Comp 2 got an A in both. He does give homework but easy. there are about 4 or 5 papers to write but he will tell you what he expects. The writing Lab is a must and essential for a good grade. Take him if you are good at writing or want to become a better writer. He cares about students.
What much do I need to say, besides the fact that I miss one semester waiting for this guys ENC 1102 class. Very lenient and you have to know how to help him assist you; this is an advantage for your grade. AMAZING PROF AND HILARIOUS GUY.
You want to take him. Believe me.
Do your work and you will have an easy A. He gives a lot of extra credit.
It's easy and there's a lot of extra credit just stop scrolling and procrastinating and sign up for Bentham's class. His voice is something to get used to but trust me, random stranger, he is a good choice
Super laid back easy class.
The professor is for the most part easy as long as you do your HW and papers.
Professor Benham is a great instructor. He provides students with the means to succeed in class and obtain a good grade. He's teaching strategy works with students of different learning types. Those who aren't great test takers have the chance improve their grades with the essay assignments he provides. his tests also come straight from the book.
Absolutely loved his class. He is a great professor and clearly explains what he wants on his essays. We had at least 5 esssays but he gives enough time to do them. Would definitely take him again just because he is way too funny.
He is a very nice professor and he tells you how your paper should be written before you do it. He grade the papers easily and he doesn't give too many of them. There are about 5 papers and made APA format look easy for us. A few quizzes and homework assignments, but the grade is mostly weighed by the papers.
Professor Benham is the BEST ENC teacher at PBSC ! He actually cares about his students and had us do mini quizzes online that were 5-7 questions that really helped our grades. He goes through each essay that we are assigned throughly. He was very nice and cracks lots of funny jokes. TAKE HIM !!!!!!
Professor Benham is awesome! super laid back class. Very helpful, will always answer your emails quickly and he is funny as hell! you get around five papers, easy grader, extra credit and like 10 quizzes from reading. do not miss class, he does take off points for absences
Super easy class, just a 7 page research paper due at end of semester, just ask him for help as to what he wants to see in it if youre struggling with getting to 7 pages. Assignments are super easy online
English isnt my best subject but when it came to writing papers he really helps. Write your paper ahead of time and he will review/check it so you can get a good grade. Hes really edu and cares about what hes doing. Hes not loud so listen, hes is laid back, you will pass if you just do your work and ask for help. Easy assignments
Funny guy and very knowledgable, his voice might be a distraction but its not bad, if you study and read the book you will be fine. I got lazy:( and still passed with a 85% the readings are interesting as well, wasnt a hard essay grader either! Will take again
HE IS THE MAN! I took him twice for ENC1101 and ENC1102. He uses a book in which you have to read a lecture of maximum 3 pages and answer some questions. 3 or 4 essays and a final essay. HE IS SUPER COOL, i would recommend him for everyone
This guy is amazing. He makes jokes all the time and really makes the learning process smooth. I highly recommend him.
Took him for an honors course and after getting a feel for his style of lecture, I would take him again if I had to. The online revel textbook is mandatory since most of our assignments came from there. He has a sense of humor that isn't dry like most professors, so that really made a three-hour long, nighttime lecture not seem as long as it was.
Class went by pretty fast many essays due back to back in the course presentation at the end and final and midterm was in class essays very easy . Would take his class again
He gives clear instructions on how he wants you to write your papers/cite/etc in MLA and APA format. Follow his instructions and you'll be good to go. He helps you with your papers, SO ASK AWAY. 3 papers to turn in other than the 1 midterm and final. Mini quizzes on short stories, and about 10 questions for other stories which counts as homework.
Professor Benham is awesome! I took his class for both Enc1101 & Enc1102. I recommend him to anyone who needs a great English teacher. Very funny professor, easygoing, and caring teacher. He assigns 4-5 reading quizzes (10 Qs). 3 essays, and short reading assignments.
Best ENC 1102 professor ! He actually interacts and teaches you the required material. 2 MLA & 1 APA paper and in-book assignments. The textbooks are useful. ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS. professor Benham is probably one of the few who engages and truly cares about his students. Its worth the money.
Cool dude. Currently taking him for ENC1101 and already registered for ENC1102. He gives a couple papers and pages to read. Easy A if you aren't procatinating.
Amazing professor very kind and smart for his age! I'm proud to have you has a great teacher and God bless you abundantly
Laidback, makes learning interesting, and gives extra time to complete work.
Cool teacher. Very chill about everything and will gives students extra time if you are struggling. Take him.
Professor Benham is a great professor who teaches you how to write a great essay using MLA format. and is clear how he wants it to be. Really funny professor. Homework was easy all you do is he assigns in your textbook a story and you have question to answer. answer is in the story. I recommend to take professor benham for Enc1101.
Best English professor I ever had!! He's funny and really helpful. He cares about his students and the class is easy, as along you try of course.
He is amazing teacher I love the way he helps you understand what you need to write about
assignments are from revel. most of the grades come from there, but the answers are on google. 7 page research paper that he is more than happy to help you with if you ask. i suggest you ask for his opinion about your paper before submitting so you can have him grade WHAT HE WANTS TO SEE. very easy honors class.
Professor Benham is the best teacher you could take for ENC1101. He gives extra credit and is really helpful in class. He cares for his students, and give time to make the assignments. This would be the kind of teacher you would like to take you wont regret it.
I took him for honors and he was great, you have a lot of papers but start early dont be like me. If you ask he will give you tips, he is so nice and cares for his students, he is knowledgeable but the class was not long enough for us to get through the details. He is flexible and understanding, I wish he taught other classes, take him !!!
Hes class required writing but he spread them out so they werent back to back, he is flexible but dont take advantage. Ask him questions on what to write he has a PhD! You can tell he likes what he teaches but does not push it on you. Just show up and listen. He is funny at times if you get it. Take him assignments are easy on revel ;) and EC!
very easy class, and he was very nice and caring. I emailed him a couple times for help on essays before they were due and never had any issues. Very helpful and understanding
Student! if you are the type that is willing to do works in class and not being lazy then go ahead don't think twice and take his class. There are 6 essays in total, 2 in class and he gives lot of time to get your work done. He is funny and willing to help you, respond to emails, gives x-credit at the end of the course and he also gives you extra t
Professor Benham is a great professor. There are 6 essays in this course that he clearly explains the guidelines for. He is quite hilarious too and has a sense of humor. You do read a lot of short stories from the textbook, but overall the class is pretty simple and easy if you show up and do what is expected of you.
Hes hilarious but grades really hard :(
His class was easy just make sure you do the essays( which are easy) and do the the hw. Besides that hes pretty chill n goofy.
He was one of the best professors I ever have taken. For our class, he would always let us use our notes to do the quizzes. I would recommend.
Professor was easy going and made sure we had a good understanding of the material before it was over. Participate during class and crack a book before the tests and it's an easy A.
I took professor Benham for my first semester in college. By far, he has left the best impression on me. I have gone as fas as recommending him to my friends because of his great teaching style. He gives essays and homework but ample amount of time to get them done. I am now taking him for his ENC1102 course & plan on taking him next semester too!
THE BEST professor Ive even had! He clearly states every assignment he will be giving and he gives good feedback on essays and assignments. But dont miss class because your grade can go down. He has also been extremely helpful during this transition to online classes. 6 hw assignments and 6 essays (2 in class)
Professor Benham is honestly one of the greatest English teachers I've taken thus far. Everything he provides to us is clearly stated and straight to the point. show up to class, complete the assignments and enjoy the class, he's a very humorous professor! he gives plenty of extra credit and time on assignments, no reason why you should fail!
This is the second course I take with Professor Benham and I truly believe he is one of the best professors Palm Beach State has to offer. He cares about his students just as much as he does about providing them with the best education possible. Assignment due dates do not change. Ample time to do assignments/papers.
Professor Benham is one of the best English professor, he makes sure that all of his students understand the lecture. For the course there are only 6 essays and few homework from the textbook. You can earn extra credit as well.
Professor Benham helped improve my writing skills tremendously! The class consisted of quizzes, hw assignments, and 6 essays: 2 in-class timed, 3 MLA style, and 1 APA paper. Do not procrastinate on your essays, and make sure to read his paper instructions carefully! He provides topics to chose, and offers amazing feedback! Highly recommend him!
Even though he has to make an effort to talk for medical reasons he is one of the best professors that I have taken on PBSC. He was really inspiring with a touch of humor. We openly discussed social problems and he made sure we really learned something every time we left the class. If u do the online work, essays, and project u will be OK.
Professor Benham is a great teacher! He is very nice and helps you when you need it. As long as you do the work, you will get a good grade.
If you show up, there's no way not to get an A. Class was easy and the essays were easy as well. Class ended early every time.
I took Professor benham during mu summer class remoting for the cornoavirus and he is exceptional! yes he has a voice disability so you must be patient but he is very kind and caring and gives extra credit he grades easy and you have to do 6 essays three timed and three one your own if you cant do that you wont pass the class. he is also very funny
I took ENC1101 during the summer in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Benham was extremely understanding of our situation and was empathetic towards whats going on. He wasn't able to speak during class due to a voice disability so he types but I didn't mind that. Theres a few timed essays and some regular essays in the class. I would take him again
Professor Benham is an amazing professor I took him for LIT2110 and had to honorized the course for the honors college. He helped me a lot with completing the honors project and gave me great feedback. It all happened during Covid and he was very understanding. All you have to do is to read the stories, pass the short quizzes, complete the essays
Although its a lot of work. Just pay attention show up to class and do your work and essays and Youll be alright. Hes a dedicated teacher and always there for his students.
He assigns so many essays and he is not clear on what he wants to be done. He grades so hard and looks for specific things that he does not tell us during class only after he grades the essays. He is not organized . He is all over the place.
Tim is one of the best professors I have ever had! He was very patient with me and always took to the time to make sure I understood the material! He makes learning the class material fun and exciting, would highly recommend.
Most political professor I have ever witness. Made online polls asking the students if they took the vaccine every day (online class). Here are some things he wrote to us (which I have screenshots of). "No vaccine, no A in this course" "I need proof" "some of you gonna be super spreaders Jesus aint gonna save you either if you get it"
Great professor would recommend. Very good with directions and break everything down to the core
Very nice teacher, he is always here for his students, answer really fast to emails, makes sure that you understand everything, goes over every main points before any assignments, and very kind! If you need a good teacher he is the one ! Dont hesitate!
Really good professor 10/10 would take him again. The class was really simple and he told us what needed to be done. Also if you are late on an assignment he gives you extra days to finish it with no penalties. Overall really solid professor really liked his class.
Professor Benham is a great professor. He is clear on what he is expecting in your papers, however, make use of SLC (the library) for any additional help. Definitely take his class if you can.
He is very passionate about lecture and he is very understanding. He allows extension if you truly need one and he enjoys having conversations more than just speaking during the whole class. It is not a hard class at all.
Total of 7 essays. A book is required to do the HW assignments. As other reviews have stated he has a condition that affects his voice but it was fine for me. I thought he'd be more understanding of my situation of asking for extra time to do class from home. My other professors had no issues giving me more time at home. This is why I gave him a 2.
Having had Professor Benham has been an amazing nonstop learning experience! All the topics he covered in the course were very interesting and varied. In addition, his knowledge and passion for history made the classes even better. Choose him if you want to learn history but also meet an awesome person!
Not much reading, but you still have to read. he is caring and goes in detail with every assignment. one thing i didn't like is when writing essays, the word limit is 1000 words, maybe that's just me i don't like to write that much, but overall, he's amazing. he always looks up for his students, and lectures are amazing group projects were fine.
He did a great job teaching and taught a lot. I was very captivated by the subject and his lectures. He gives good feedback and has clear criteria for his work. He is honestly one of the best professors Ive had. I recommend him to everyone.
Very very nice and easy going. No tests just quizzes which are very easy.
He is a genuine professor that tries to answer any questions you have for him. His class, for the most part, was very interesting. And yes, you do have to write essays because it is a golden rule class, but none of the topics were boring. So I highly recommend that you take Professor Benham!
Great Professor ! I had him for Acoustics,( although that course code was not an option) and he really showed he cared about the subject. Great for getting the inside scoop, since he has tons of hands on experience ! I recommend you take him. He is very intelligent, and you can see he cares about what he does.
I would recommend Professor Benham to everyone, he truly was so caring, involved, helpful, and understanding. He's been doing this a long time, and you can tell. He knows what he is talking about and is great at explaining and using examples. Extremely easy grader. If you participate in class, there will be mutual respect all around. TAKE BENHAM!!!
10/10 One of the best professors on Campus
Professor Benham is 100% the best Professor I have taken at Palm Beach State! He is thorough, follows through each step of every single assignment very clearly making all the work easy to understand. There is only a few papers and easy quizzes, as well as some reading comprehension assignments. Take him! You will not regret it.
There is only one essay that will be your final. There were only 3 tests, which were open books. There was a few homework. He is amusing.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is absolutely the worst professor at PBSC. He is not clear about anything and gives a lot of work with a small amount of time to complete them. He does not teach at all you come to class to do busy work and then go home and do way more work. The quizzes are hard because he ask for super specific things. Do not waste your time.
Professor Benham is a great teacher. He breaks down complex topics clearly and is very understanding. Using unstuck AI and the free textbook helped me ace this class. Highly recommend taking his course!
He's a good teacher and an easy A if you're responsible. He gives good feedback and I liked his class, but it definitely would've been better in person. He gives lots of chances to boost your grade with quizzes and assignments and makes sure to be clear about hw and papers.
One of the nicest film professors ever! I had him for both Intro and Advanced Sound and I actually learned a lot in class which I was surprised about. It's so hard to fail his class because it's an easy A. He actually gives his students a 15 min. break in class which no professor really does. I love him and would def take him again if I could :)
People don't mention his speech impediment in other reviews. For me, a speech impediment in English class isn't a great combination. He gives a lot of homework and has 5 essays. Also takes a long time to grade work. Some assignments took over a month to grade. He is also an extremely difficult grader, and it seems like he never gives a 100% or an A
