Hes a Good teacher! only catch is that you only have a midterm and one final and like 4, 2-4 page essays BUT midterm and final are essays! NO MULTIPLE CHOICE! you do not need to read the book,he has powerpoints, attendance not mandatory only on discussion days. 4 discussions class get divided in two acording to last name and you have to show up!

amusing bc he laughs at his own jokes.not a hard class because attendance isnt mandatory and no nightly hw. u just need to pay attention to his lectures or get the notes from someone else for the midterm and final

I have never liked history, always thought it was boring until I took his class! Vernon is a very helpful teacher and is passionate on what he teaches. He explains everything and is a very nice guy. Since the class is not mandatory attendence, it makes you want to go to class. He grades easily, and gives extra credit. Totally recommend him!

Fair teacher who is funny and extremely smart. He makes lectures interesting and easy to understand. No quizzes, just a midterm and final exam. The final is not cumulative. There are also two papers to write but the work is not overwhelming. Extra credit is offered. TAKE HIS CLASS!!

very nice professor, will answer all your questions, and is passionate with the subject. Extra credit offered and is really is one page papers what it usually is. Midterm, Final, and like three short iclicker quizzes

Great professor, uses powerpoints to lecture and you take notes while he goes over it. He has alot of knowledge, and is a fair grader. Assigned 2 essays and an optional third one just in case if you didnt get a good grade on one of those. Tests are short essay responses, and one long essay response. If you do what is asked youll pass i got an A.

Nicest teacher ever. He really knows and loves history. You dont need the book, all test are based on his lectures. Just go to class, talk during discussions you will for sure pass the test and get an A in the class.

One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Loves what he teaches and is extremely knowledgeable, which shows in the commentary he provides on essays. Can't get anything by him. Extensive note-taking although he puts notes on Blackboard. 2 tests, 2 essays, and required discussion days. 5 i-clicker quizzes. Sort of a dork but great dude!

This guy is an awesome instructor. Funny and knowledgeable on the topic. You do need to read the books assigned but not the actual textbook unless you don't go to class. Exams are essays and have to be well written with good arguments. Overall, RECOMMENDED!

I'm not really a history person so this class was hard for me. To be fair though, Creviston was a good professor and did a great job at teaching the subject. Grades fairly. You just have to do your part by studying, and doing the work. I sucked at history in high school and will always suck. 1 map exercise, 2 papers, discussion, 1 midterm, final

The best history teacher ever, he is very knowledgable, helpful and extremely cheerful ! Makes history very interesting ! Take this class and get an A if you are hardworking

Very nice teacher and tries to keep class interesting as much as possible. Take notes during class. Read one novel. No quizzes just test.

Very nice, helpful history teacher. He tries to make the class interesting and funny. He teaches through powerpoints and lectures as well. It helps a lot to write down notes and go over them for tests. Just do your work and pay attention in class. Provides extra credit.

Great professor; he's funny, very interested in his subjectnd his students listen to him as a result. He's got a great pwrpnt set-up for lects. and only 2 texts to read. This class worked for me because I had a big workload for the semester and he's happy to work with you and doesn't grade on attendence.

He is an amazing professor! He gives 8 one page essays, fairly easy though. Lectures are not mandatory but are very helpful for the exams and quizzes. Lectures are very interesting. I highly recommend taking him! My favorite professor so far in college!

He gives out a grip load of extra credit but he also does 5 quizzes. On top of that he expects 5 one page papers at your convenience after readings articles. Likewise he requires reading from a small novel and writing a 2-3 page paper on that. He grades the illiterate better than true writers. No multiple choice on midterm or final, just writing.

He's a very funny guy and makes things interesting! Gives out extra credits and he is very clear at what he's teaching. Great great guy! Highly highly recommended. Attendance (lectures) is helpful on the test!

Professor Creviston is a wonderful instructor. He is very straight forward and easy to understand. Not very demanding. Only one paper, Midterm, and Final Exam. Lectures are very informative and are helpful on exams. He provides many extra credit opportunities, take advantage! Passed the class easily with an A+ Highly Recommend!!!!

Best History ever take for General Ed. He's very interesting and will help you. Homework are super easy! Just be prepare with in class quiz. Very easy though. I would recommend come class and listen or take his notes because it will help on midterm and final.

Nice guy who knows what he's doing. In class, some of the core assignments were somewhat vague, but if you visited him during office hours he was helpful and understanding, and in general seemed to show lots of leniency in his grading. Requires minor assignments from a workbook and a presentation aside from the major papers.

Took History 12 online, you have to be SUPERBLY lazy not to pass with at least a B. Everything is done on your time, there's NO weekly assignments they're just all due by a certain date. If you don't want to attend class and sit in long lectures TAKE THE ONLINE COURSE.

Professor Creviston had my respect from the first day of class. His love for history shows in his lectures and it helps you stay interested in his lectures. He also has a great sense of humor that makes you want to go to class. Class is out of 1,000 points and it is fairly simple to do well. He does not grade very tough. I love you Vernon....

I always got C's or below in history in high school and was dreading taking this class but Mr. Creviston made learning history fun. Quizzes-open book at home, exams were fairly easy if you read the book, wrote 4 essays based on extra readings not in book. If your grade is slacking, no worries. The extra credit will get you through the semester!

Professor Creviston gives really great lectures and he makes history exciting. Your grade reflects your effort and this class may be hard if you are not willing to do the work. Weekly quizzes and discussion boards. 1 midterm, 1 final, 2 papers, and he gives extra credit. Easy class for me but it was tedious to do the discussion boards every week.

Each week there are reading assignments, powerpoints to review, crash course videos, articles, a discussion board assignment (graded heavily), and a review quiz (multiple attempts). This class is graded by the effort you put in and can be an easy A. It made history exciting. Creviston replies very quickly to emails and tests aren't too bad.

Gives lots of work, but makes lectures interesting. Knows what he is talking about and will warn you if the class is canceled. I can only recommend if you're ready to work for your grade, otherwise this class may not be for you.

Absolutely great professor. Understands that not every student is a History major, therefore he tries to makes his lectures fun and simple. I enjoyed seeing how really enthusiast he is when teaching making the class not boring. Do your work and show up to class like the usual. Pretty simple tests and writings.

Very passionate about History. Lectures are long but entertaining. Genuinely understands if you have issues with homework or anything. The weekly homework is very time consuming, but highly recommend reading and taking notes. Midterm and Final with the essays come pretty easy if you read. Highly recommend this awesome professor, but b ready to work

Professor Creviston is a great and an interesting professor! I would recommend taking History 4 with him. Some assignments are vague, but all you have to do is ask questions and he will clear things up for you. Overall, I benefited from this course. There are no quizzes. Just short answer homework assignments and one research paper.

Professor Creviston is great. If you can take history 4 with him, do it. He taught me so much and made me really excited to continue studying history. He is not a tough grader as long as you cite and format everything correctly. He gives great feedback as well.

Creviston is a solid Professor. He truly cares about the subject matter which makes the class somewhat interesting but overall this class is fairly boring. Id definitely recommend paying attention to his grading criteria, but overall his lectures didnt do much for my understanding of coursework. Final paper/presentation isnt as hard as it looks.

only one paper through the semester and super essay. his lectures are interesting and he cares about his students. He takes attendance through an app but can be logged in from home.

I do not really like history but he actually made me enjoy it a little more. I was actually very interested. it just so much information to remember but that is not his fault. you can tell he really enjoys teaching the subject. I recommend him!

Overall a good teacher, only one downside. He's really strict when it comes to grading. However he'll meet with you if you want help bringing up your grade. He's easy to get ahold of & great at lecturing. Write down everything he says because the quizzes/tests are tricky. Also, if you miss even one class you miss A LOT of notes.

He's a great professor who loves history and can be so enthusiastic about it which makes lectures better! Online homework quizzes due every single Friday but it's incredibly easy because you get unlimited chances to get 100%. Midterm and final is essay based and he gives you the prompt ahead of time. Overall wonderful professor!

Professor Creviston gives lots of lectures, but he uses PowerPoint and is also an energetic and engaging speaker. He appreciates all participation in class, and will take the time to learn each of his students' names. Attendance is up to you. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for the final research paper, and ask for guidance from him often.

As long as you attend his lectures it will be easy. He assigns readings before class and analyzes them. Many of the said readings will be on his exams. Homework is questions based on the readings too (he grades homework easy if he sees you answer diligently). Two major papers for midterm and final. He also has a fascination for Disney.

This class was so easy going, the lectures were amazing, Crystal clear grading, one of the best professors at Fresno without a doubt.

Grade heavily dependent on papers. Not much extra credit offered. Lectures are pretty interesting and useful when writing your papers.

Amazing professor really enjoyed his class and I hate history. He made the lectures really interesting and he's so energetic it kept me engaged. One huge essay and a midterm and final determine majority of your grade along with participation points. Definitely recommend he's great and a really nice guy who actually cares about his students.

Great professor. He's very energetic and keeps the class entertained, even on subjects that aren't that entertaining. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you'll want to go to not miss anything since the criteria is vital. He's also very upfront and honest with you on what he expects, students who are serious about their studies really appreciate that.

OMG this professor is AMAZING if you do not take him then good luck in History 11. He is such a great teacher always available during office hours and is actually there to help. He cares about his students and wants them to all pass his class. I honestly went everyday because he made me enjoy history because the way he lectures is just awesome.

Professor Creviston is probably one of my favorite professors. He's funny and learns everyone's name in the class and really cares about his students. Weekly primary source quizzes and Inquizitive homework. There's one essay worth a lot of points due around Thanksgiving break. 3 exams including the final that are easy if you study. TAKE HIS CLASS!

For someone who isn't interested in history, I really enjoyed Creviston class. Yes he talks a lot but everything is related to the material. He is a hard grader but there is specific things he looks for in essays and exams. If you need help just talk to him, he's really easy going!! 10/10 would recommend :))

Professor Creviston makes lectures interesting he's a great professor and shows to be passionate. He does expect a lot from your work though and have weekly assignments so don't slack off or won't pass. Doesn't take attendance but participation counts on it.

Take this professor, he is very passionate about history. He is understanding but you have to let him know what is going on. Don't slack off on the assignments that will be assigned each week! He is a great professor(:

Mr. Creviston can be a tough grader but fully helps you understand his class with his comments on assignments :) He is very nice and lecture is interesting sometimes gives extra credit randomly so attend class even if he doesn't take attendance. Overall was a fun class.

Professor Creviston is the best history teacher I've ever had! He is very caring. Lectures are very interesting (which means a lot coming from someone who does not find history interesting). He really helps you understand important concepts. 3 exams, homework assignments due every Sunday. Highly recommend Professor Creviston!

If you want to pass history, good luck with anyone besides Professor Creviston. There is a good amount of homework, but it isn't too hard. He is hilarious, and his lectures are easy to understand. I absolutely hate history, but he helped me so much and I got an A. He is always available to help you out. Just make sure to study for the tests!

I took Creviston during COVID and he has his lectures posted to Youtube videos you can access at any time. I am terrible at history and never liked it but he makes this class easy to learn. Same due date every week for the new section. Each week is inquisitive, a small writing assignment(150wd), a 5 question quiz. He does discussion board once/mo.

I'm not going to lie. He was a good professor and human being. He even encourages all his students to go vote. He was organized when it came to the class structure. Despite all that, his class was difficult, especially with the world we live in today. It's as if we only have his class. 4-6 WEEKLY assignments to add on to the stress in your life.

Lots of work every week but as long as you stay on top of it then you'll be fine because they're easy. Tough grader though! On the essay portion for the quizzes and weekly short essay assignments he grades hard. He wants it perfect or else you wont get full points. Final grade 89% even with his tough grading. Just keep up with the work and its fine

Creviston is a great person. He is very clear on his expectations which I respect in a professor. However, I have never worked so hard for a B. HIST 4 is unique, and I know it is a hard class no matter who you take it with, but I still feel as if this class was graded very harshly.

For this class, the modules were well made and very clear to understand. He posts lectures for you to watch, and while some can be long, you can increase the speed. There are 2-3 writing assignments per week and one big essay but they are easy to do if you read the textbook, watch the lecture, and read the assigned book. A very interesting class!

If you're not ready to write alot and put in the time to understand the material do not take! I'm a A student and at first it was difficult. you have discussion post that are 500 words and have to be good to get full credit, quiz w/written question that sound be 300-400 words in depth. however amazing teacher his videos help u understand.

He is honestly such a great teacher! If you get lower than a C, thats your fault honestly. Stay on top of the work, (which isnt that bad), and youre good. And PARTCIPATE!!

I took his class completely online, there's weekly quiz with short essay, discussion board, and a reflection essay. You also need to do reading and answer assignments through inquisitive. Exams are not that difficult, but there's basically A LOT OF WRITINGs.

Professor Vernon is an amazing professor! He's very passionate about his class and makes it interesting. There is 4 assignments to do weekly, two is on inquisitive and the other two is on canvas. Which is all due on Sunday. YOU NEED TO PARTICIPATE TO GET A GOOD GRADE!! Overall, do not slack off on the assignments.

This class was very interesting. Just do all your work on time and you could easily get an A if you show your interest in the class through your discussion board responses or essays.

Very engaging lectures! Response time Is fast with emails. Cares for his students!

Supposed to read the textbook weekly, however you can get by without doing it. One big paper that's 20% of grade, gives you 2 months to do it. Lectures are like stories, involves the class and really wants people to participate and contribute.

This class was soooo well organized on Canvas! Professor C. was passionate, kind, and supportive. Will work with students as long as there's clear communication, very accessible (email, zoom, in person etc.). Asynchronous, one term paper, weekly discussion boards/mini quizzes, weekly InQuizitive, & all resources/textbook online.

Overall, this professor was easy and caring. Gives weekly quizzes in class so attendance matters. Gives extra credit, test are taken online, 1 research paper, midterm, and final exam. He drops the lowest 5 scores on quizzes. Participation in class matters, I got a B since I didn't receive much participation points and got a C+ on my research paper.

Makes class interesting and tries to throw in humor he expects you to read textbook but his in class lectures are great and he goes over everything 1 final paper exams are easy and online I forgot why I got a c

Good professor, lectures are formatted in a way that makes you remember the content.very nice person & cares about his students, but a tough grader.3 assignments due every Sunday. Also one paper due around the end of the semester. Attendance technically isn't required, but you will lose participation points if you don't do socrative that day.

Super sweet! Weekly quizzes every Friday, 2 midterms and a final, and a huge paper at the end. Make sure to participate because he grades you easier when you do (from experience). BEWARE- he does not give out study guides for midterms and the final so make sure you study. You can tell he truly loves teaching. You smile when you're in his class :)

You need to have time for this class. But, don't get scared. It's a lot of work but you can do it! Just be specific and detailed in your work. He also gives 3 extra credit assignments and I believe he is going to drop 2 lowest scores for 2 assignments. Also, join his office hours!! He actually is a nice person, just pretty strict.

Dr. Creviston was my favorite professor this semester. He wants you to participate. He discusses everything in the textbook in the lectures, and there were no secret topics on the exam. Just understand the main ideas of history for the periods and you'll do just fine.

One of the best courses I have taken at Fresno State. He was engaging, taught in a way that ACTUALLY made you want to go to class, and was willing to help anyone get an A if they showed a care for it. There is a final paper, however he will guide you through it and even hint things to add into it or focus on. Use office hours if you need, so kind.

Took his class online and it wasn't too bad. A lot of work, practically mini essays every week. All assignments are due Sunday and you have all week to complete. Not graded too harshly, but you have to be very specific and detailed in your responses to get full credit. Most assignment answers could be found online and he's very accessible.

Professor Creviston was pretty good really passionate about what he teaches syllabus is straight forward participation like answering question through socrative count towards your grade so make sure to attend class, inquizitve and ebook due every week weekly quizzes every Friday, in-class discussions, and one big paper A lot of work but not bad

SUCH an easy A, just show up to his lectures bc thats your participation thats, he gives extra credit randomly just bc if you show up so show up. Just do other class hw in his lectures that is what I did so I didn't have hw when i got home. Hes sooooo such and a funny guy, easiest class you will have in college, legit just sit there and you get pts

Professor Creviston is AMAZING! Not a lot of homework assignments, just InQuizitive. Be sure to keep up with the readings AND participate in class discussion for extra credit! Lectures are always fun to attend. He makes many jokes to pass the time and helps weave in the material through storytelling! An easy A if you put in the effort each week!

This class is fairly easy to pass. There are weekly assignments on inquizitive that are only 20 questions based on the textbook which are super easy. Also weekly quizzes online usually done in class, sometimes online. 2 midterms on paper 30-40 questions in class which are based on lecture material and a final and 4 page paper. Just put the work in.

Professor Creviston is so entertaining, engaging, straightforward! Weekly quizzes, inquisitives, read 2-3 history documents every week. Quizzes based on documents but discuss/review the reading materials prior to taking the quiz. Participation points on socrative/random extra credit. 3 exams, 1 paper. Always looked forward to his class. Super easy.

This professor is passionate and his lectures are engaging but fast-paced. Attendance is worth 150 points. Focus on discussion materials and a book for quizzes, which are easy. Midterms and final use chapter outlines. History Topic Paper is worth 250 points and is graded strictly. Overall, straightforward and good for people who enjoy U.S. history.

Great lecturer, very engaging. His lectures are honestly outstanding. You can tell he's taught this course a million times. There's weekly inquisitive hw, weekly in-class quiz, weekly readings, and a 4? page paper. I spent no more than 2 hours a week outside of class on this course and got an A. So, pretty easy. Don't skip lectures! Def recommend

Weekly quizzes in class and assignments due sunday makes for somethings to slip through the cracks. 3 exams and a paper are the big three things to focus on. Class is out of 1,000 points. just get to 900 for an A and you don't have to take the exam.

He is a good professor and communicates well. Every area of grading was a high A for me, but his tests were difficult so they brough my grade down. Tests contain about 5 chapters which is really difficult to study for, but my recommendation is to upload his lectures in Quizlet and study as soon as possible. Overall, easy to pass but easy to fail.

He is a great professor that makes his lectures interactive and is happy to answer any questions. All lectures are available to be seen anytime. Quizzes once a week but as long as you do the assigned reading, which is usually not that much, you will do fine! The final was not cumulative and not mandatory.

He gives a lot of reading, but if you pay attention in class, you will understand the basic concepts. Some of my assignments I felt were graded tough, but overall easy homework. The workload is a lot if you make it a lot, just stay on top of it. Easy class to pass if you aren't looking for an A, but if you want a good grade you need to work for it.
