RUN! Run! Does this guy think we are grad students? Another egocentric prof that is obviously using our research for his doc paper. Someone needs to tell this guy he is at a community college teaching an 100 level class. He is that bad professor you will talk about to your grandkids. Yeah, and I got an A and still couldn't stand the class.

Either he was a horrible teacher, or I actually worked very hard in his class... After putting forth full effort and "passing" his class, I was failed because of Draper's strict attendance policy even though he was aware that I had missed the four days due to complications from chronic disease. Draper claims its impossible to pass with 4 abscences.

This guy is an A hole. he's way too egocentric. requires a ton of work to do. i dropped his class half way through because i couldn't take it any longer. unless you like the extreme strictness, then i suggest you stay away. it's his way or the highway, no if's and's or but's.

Tim Draper was a horrible teacher. I took the online version of this clas and we had literally 40 bulletin postings throughout the ENTIRE summer. we had 2 examination essays to do which had 3 parts in each one and 1 writing project worth 100 points. For the writing project, he doesn't make the topic clear. and he grades unfairly. don't recommend!!!

Took his online course. NEVER updated information on the website-literally 1 year old. NEVER answers emails. Other kids in my class had the SAME problem. Failed me and wouldn't say why. I had to protest the grade and ended up having it changed to a W. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Worst teacher I have taken by far at Waubonsee. Attendance was mandatory no matter what He makes you write down exactly how many times you talk daily. His lectures jump everywhere extremely hard to understand even if you look over your notes. Not to mention the daily quizes are detailed quizes are extremely challenging.Save ur self the trouble !!

This is by far the worst class I have ever taken in three years of college. There are three assignments that make up your grade. The instructions are vague and confusing. He does not respond to emails, and when he does it takes over a week. I have been waiting over a month to get my first exam graded. Terrible teacher.

Dont take this class inless you love chaos.This professor doesnt realize that we are all not history majors.His tests do not make any sense.He requires you to write about 1863 to 1939 etc. To many things were going on in history to sum it all up the way he wants. He should quit teaching and work as a historian or a job away from people.

I took his class online. He took forever to reply to e-mails. He was never really clear on directions and when I asked for clarification he copy and pasted instructions instead of further explaning. No help there. He never checked online discussion boards but graded very hard on tests and writing paper.

This professor is very unclear with his lectures, they are more of a rant then teaching. Most of what you learn is from the book that was written no later then 1902. You are expect to cite the book sections in the midterm and final when you have read over 70. I do not recommend this professor

one of the worst teachers i've had at waubonsee completely useless for questions and don't try to get ahold of him because you more than likely wont hear back seems like the class is not priority for him but it is supposed to be for students. super frustrating.

Never take a class with draper. You will have to read 30 pages at the LEAST every night and have a test EVERYDAY do NOT take a class with him ever

Run away! If you don't plan to major in History don't take him! Be prepared to read about 30-45 pages every night. He quizzes you in every class. Participation matters. You need to participate at least 3 times per class. He is a tough grader. Black ink only no pencil. If you miss any readings you will run behind.

Took him for History of Africa one year and he grades like you're getting your master's degree. You have to read every night; from about 20- 100 or so pages a night. Had to buy 5 books and had to read them all from front to back, including the textbook. I had to put in an incredible amount of work to get that "A". Wouldn't recommend him at all.

I usually am not one to fail any class but I did for this one...I would not consider having him for a teacher again. Expected way too much for essays and just overall the worst teacher I've ever had.

I agree with most of the posts about Dr. Draper. Though he's extremely intelligent, he's just not good at teaching others. I asked him a question and specifically told him I had already looked at the course schedule and syllabus for more information but still had a question. His response to me was to look at the course schedule. Very condescending.

This class was insanely hard for such little outcome. Tiny mistakes made a huge impact on your over all grade and there was no reversing them.

Professor Draper is well versed in the subject of History, but he is a very poor teacher in my experience. The content that he "teaches" is organized and put together, however as a freshman I think that the workload is too much. I say "teaches" because in this online class, I am teaching myself, he is just there to give resources and assign work.

Whew, never in my life would I have thought about killing myself over missed assignments. I hated history before, but I hate it even more after taking his class. Class is whatever, a lot of content, but no instruction. It's hard to understand when he's not actually teaching. Just follow the syllabus, and there's a LOT of work for little points.

NOT ORGANIZED, HISTORY TEACHES SHOULD NOT BE SO JUDGEMENTAL ON A PAPERS FORMAT! I DID NOT LEARN ANYTHING OTHER THEN HOW TO SUPPORT MY FELLOW STUDENTS IN THIS INSTRUCTORS CLASS! DO NOT TAKE THIS GUYS CLASSES DO NOT EVEN DO IT!

Professor Draper did not give very much instruction at all for this class the entire semester. All of our grades were 1 point discussion boards and 7 point group projects, and our final grade is a 100 point paper and a 45 point "exam", which is just a bunch of essays. Not worth it and was more specific about the format of the paper than assignments

Dont take his courses. do not expect him to be helpful with anything. He cares more about formatting than anything, and will give you a zero if your format is off the slightest bit no matter the effort you may put towards the paper. He also doesnt seem to care as many other students in my class also had problems accessing his online content.

I hate history now because of this professor. I used to think history is beautiful. This professor is the worst teacher in the history of teachers. He doesn't care if you are struggling. grades are based on 2 papers with no option to retry. Format of paper is important than content. Never take his class. you will regret for the rest of your life.

I heard that he was a terrible professor before I signed up but still decided to give him a try. I was already behind on the first day and I just couldn't catch back up. He gives so much homework and so many papers and a majority of the assignments are group based so even if you do a good job, it depends on your group.

In honesty, I think Mr. Draper was the worst professor I've ever had. I took HIS122 because I had to for my Associated Degree and figured it would be a little blowoff class, spoilers IT WAS NOT! You will get at least 6-7 assignments every week, including group projects, a big paper, several essays, and he was very slow on communication. Don't take

I had to drop the class after a few days because there were assignments due almost every day! There was an assignment due on a Saturday morning! An online class should give you all the materials for the week and then have them due at the end of the week. The point of an online class is it have some freedom to do the assignments when you want to.

Dr. Draper is very heavy on essays. He assigns what is called a "Writing Project" and makes you use primary sources from a textbook. Then there is the final examination which is 3 short essays all due within a week from each other at the end of the semester. He is a hard grader and provides little to no support if you're struggling in his class.

Emailed for help multiple times and go ZERO feedback/help. Proceeded to threaten me with a zero if I did not get ahold of the concept that I clearly stated I needed help with. Ended up contacting the district board. He made it very clear he does not care about the grades of his students and rather is there for a paycheck.

I received a negative score on a homework assignment for not including citations. I understand taking a few points off but a negative score is ridiculous. I do not recommend Dr. Draper because he does not care whether or not his students succeed and it almost seems he wants them to fail.

From the confusingly vague instructions, copious amounts of assignments, and the disorganized layout of the course. I would not recommend taking any classes with this professor. Doing this course feels like putting together a puzzle that was tossed into a paper shredder.

Very rude. Has given me multiple snarky remarks, so I happily game some back. If you want an uninterested, hand off teacher, Timmy's your guy!

Class was 100% online, and requires you to purchase a textbook & multiple reading materials. Assignments due almost every other day at 8 AM(unusual time for assignments to be due in online classes)not to mention the workload. back to back assignments, group projects, huge paper due at the end required to be in Chicago Style and no support from him

Dr. Draper is EASILY the WORST professor/teacher I have ever had. When often contacting for help, he is rude and says "Look at the rubric" or "Follow the syllabus", and doesn't follow up if you have any other questions. If you do the work, you should be fine. Never take him, UNLESS you want a professor that never helps.

I would never take a class from this teacher. First, you are required to buy 4 books and you need to take a photo with them to prove you purchased them. If you forget to put your name, date, and course number even in a text box entry it will be graded a zero. He teaches at a community college but acts as if he is the head of a PhD program.

Assigned a brutal writing project (7 pages long...), which caused a bunch of late nights.. Another thing I found weird with Tim is that everything is due at 8 AM. Your ENTIRE grade is down to 1 pt. discussions, 6 group projects, and the writing project. He also assigns a Final Examination, 3 essays (500 words a piece) all about different topics.

If you take history 101.920 with him, drop it. In the first 5 days of an online class, he gives you 9 assignments with most of them due the day after they are posted being a Wednesday. I stupidly thought this would be like most other online classes and hopped on Canvas on Sunday to get them done only to find they are late and cannot be made-up.

I had an extremely negative experience with one of my college professors. The professor consistently demonstrated a lack of professionalism, or outright disregard. Efforts to seek clarification on course material or assignments were met with minimal support, and grading practices appeared arbitrary and lacked transparency.

This class was very difficult. Not a fair grader in my opinion and is way too tough on students. He does not reply to emails and comes across in a rude tone. His rubric and syllabus is very confusing and hard to understand.

Hauling myself out of bed at 6 am once a week was not worth it for this class. The amount of work that was assigned was absurd. I would not take this class, and I am happy I never have to because I would rather join a Mormon cult than take this class again.

Tim is a mess. Canvas was riddled with typos. He even had a typo on the final exam and changed it 3 days before. He won't explain his grading, and he actively resents you for taking his class. If you want a teacher who is just there for the paycheck, Tim is your guy. But if you want a teacher who cares, try someone else.
