He is the most awesome teacher that you will ever have!
Professor Clark aka Vincer is the Man. He is probably one of the best college professors you will ever have! If you have the opportunity to get in one of his classes, take it asap. He has the best personality and actually cares about teaching you.
He's a great teacher. Does voices and acts things out. No homework ever, except to study for tests. Gives a review before the test. Very cool guy.
Awesome! Never had a better instructor!
Easy-A tests, but don't expect to learn a whole lot out of this class- reduces history to a few stories. Shows some connection, but doesn't have depth re: causality. Annoying acting antics.
Light on facts in his lectures, but he does make history fun for non-history types. It's worth taking the class just to hear his stories and see his theatrics. Probably the best professor at MCC.
awesome person. I loved him
Taking Clark was the best thing I've done at MCC. I learned so much and actually ENJOYED doing it. He will make this class so much fun for you. Take him - you will not regret it.
Cool, funny and clear
He is an awesome teacher and fun guy. He makes history fun. His tests weren't hard, and if you listen to his lectures and take good notes, you'll do well. If you get a chance to take him, do so.
There are some people who are supposed to be teachers and he is for sure one of them. He actually makes history fun. I had him for an 8:00 class and not one chair was empty all semester. He is awsome!
One of the best professors you'll ever have, I promise.
An MCC legend
Clark is the best instructor I've ever had. I loved his class. You'll never experience a history class quite like this one.
Excellent teacher. Fell in love with his class and never missed a day, even took friends to listen to him for fun. Extremly great person, very helpful. Be prepared for a binder full of notes. Definitely one of the best teachers I ever had! Almost a guaranteed A if you attend HIS study groups! Highly recommend!
Nice guy and a great teacher-others in history should leatn from him-except for Cruse-Turner who is a great thinker. Clark is a very nice man. Hope his golf days are long lasting.

Vince was an awesome teacher. He made it worth going to class because it was usually not boring. I loved him and wished he taught more classes.
Awesome teacher! He makes it worth getting up for an 8am class. Very entertaining.
I know it has been said..and It will be said again...He is the best teacher I have ever had! There really is not a way to describe him, except humorus...just take the class...it will be money well spent
if college were free, i would have taken this class over and over just because mr. clark teaches it. i did not miss ONE day of class ... and you won't want to either. i dreaded history, but after this class - i changed my major. it was definitely worth my time and money. no one should go to mcc without taking mr. clark.
Vince kicks ass! He's the best teacher that I've ever had. Never a dull moment during class and always leaves you wanting to show up the next time.
I love his class. If I ever miss a class I feel extremely guilty and like I missed some great story. He is one of the best teachers Ive EVER had.
This is the best etacher you can ever get. He is so awesome and loves to help. Take his class!!!
I took Clark for three dual-credit courses (both American Histories and American Government) and had a blast! He will always be one of my favorite profs. He is interesting and knows how to make history come back to life. You need to take this class if you are going to MCC! If you take his class ask abut the three days he doesn't remember. lol!
Oh my god, Vince Clark is the greatest history teacher ever, with the possible exception of Dale Hollis... Vincer is so awesome, and if I do ever become a teacher, I hope to be half as awesome as that man is...
Excellant Professor. Will keep you interested for sure. Your grades come from 4 test over notes inclass but he is never boring. He is overall a great guy and is willing to make friends with anybody. Highly recommended.
If I had this man for every class in college I would be on the Deans List every Sem. He is the BEST Teacher ever. Awesome guy. Always looks to be a friend and not a teacher in the class. Makes History fun to learn by his energy he brings to the class room. Going to his class is like going to a play. He brings back your imagination
TAKE HIM FOR SURE! He captures everyones heart. Best teacher you could EVER ask for, promise!
WONDERFUL PROF! I never liked history before this class. He makes the class so interesting because he teaches like hes telling a story. I would most definately take him for every history class that I could.
best prof ever, makes history fun and exciting...highly recommended
He is one of the best professors' I have ever had. Your grade comes first to him. He will bend over backwards to help you as much as you can.
A kind man, and a great teacher - my favorite class so far. Take good notes. Multiple choice questions and a short essay for each of the 4 test. He gives essay questions a day or so before the test, so it's easy to prepare. Take him in the lecture hall if you get a chance. Some outside reading req. A gentleman. Funny stories.
Vincer is a great professor! He makes the sotries of history come alive. His lectures are entertaining, and it is obvious that he is genuenly concerned with our sucess in his class. I never miss this class. He is great. If you are taking History, take his class. You will love him!
I LOVE VINCER!! you must take vince for history.. i had to repeat because of a horrible teacher last semester... he is way better than any history teacher i have had... makes history into stories & really gets you intwined in his stories & makes you want more!! class runs over sometimes but NO ONE notices.. very interesting & a great guy!
You can't take this class without loving Vince. He makes history interesting for even those who loathe it.
Great guy. Don't want to miss his class because it is interesting. He has a way of teaching you something and making you remember it without you even realizing it. Tests are pretty easy too. Best teacher at MCC by far and probably nicest person there as well. Don't graduate from MCC before experiencing the "Vincer."
Vincer rules. Great storyteller. Very helpful and super nice! His classes fill up fast for a reason. Never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Definitely take!
heeey vincer! ha, you will love this class, he is very entertaining and will help you make a good grade in his class. he has outside study groups for tests and always lets you make up a test if you missed it. he's an awesome professor.
Took him for both history classes. If you have read the other reviews you know that you should take him. I found history boring until i took his class. He teaches in the form of stories. No book use, no homework, 4 tests m/c. You may not find him attractive at first but quickly you will. I fell in love with him.
He's super charming. Everyone remembers him and I've never heard a bad thing said. Don't even consider taking history from anyone else. He's fun, interesting, entertaining, easy to understand and he wants students to do well. Great class to take first thing in the morning, nobody wants to miss Vince's class, it gets you going.
Vincer is an exceptional teacher. I was not at all thrilled about taking History until I took his class. He tells stories and makes you feel like you're a part of the History itself. Great teacher, great person, great class!
For Hist 1301 or 1302 you can do no better than Vince! I would take ANY class he offered - even if it didn't apply to my degree plan. He is THAT good. All you have to do is show up and listen to pass. Want an A? Copy the outline off the board at the beginning of each class and ask for a study session before each test. All you have to do is ask.
very into what he is talking about and very clear. teaches like he is telling stories and the stories are what you remember that most. great class but it is the teacher that makes it a great class
The best teacher ever! He's like a story teller. You forget you're in class. You don't want the class to end mid story. He has the most energy ever. He gives the essay questions to tests in advance. Has lectures on blackboard if you miss a day. Little studying if you attend class! Don't miss out on this amazing teacher!
the coolest professor at mcc. puts everything in a story that makes since too. even watch some movies(rare)that relates to the story he is telling you. and the other comments say it all.
If Vincer asked me to marry him... there would be no procrastinating on my part. He is the smartest professor in Texas... which makes him the hottest. I miss his class sincerely and will probably take it again just for fun, and to watch that man do what he does best. yummy
I took clark for History 1301 and 1302!!!He never gives homework, all his lectures are online!!If u dont take him 4 history u r just crazy!!!He is the best teacher ever!!He also loves 2 tell stories so it makes u feel like u were actually ther in history!!!A++++++!!!!!! :)
everyone else says it about vincer. I use to hate history so bad, once i took his class my major changed in a heartbeat!!!! really easy and go to the study groups when you have a chance. you dont want to miss his class for the world......
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! If u take someone other then CLARK you are just insane!!!!! He is a good story teller!!! He is a good impersonator on people in our history. The way he tells the stories you feel as if you were there at that place in time&you have a visual of it. A+++++++++++++++++++++++ x 1,000,000,000,000!!!!!
he is the coolest person i ever meet. He is clear and he makes the class fun to comke and learn. Had him for both 1301 and 1302, and everyone else says it all about vincer.
Teaches through storytelling about the history of early America. Puts on a good show. I highly recommend him for anyone who has a hard time learning/retaining details in history classes.
This guy is absolutely amazing at what he does.I had him first thing in the morning and I loved getting up for his class! I got the chills everytime he lectured. He is suspensful, dramatic, and humorous in everything he does. He is also a fantastic man to talk to outside of class as well. I most definitely recommend good ole Vincer.
He is the best teacher i have ever had!!! including high school!! His lectures are like going back in time. you can actually picture in your mind what he is teaching you. He has a great since of humor and is very nice! If you are ever gonna take history at MCC take him!!! But hurry up his classes fill up QUICK!!
helps u understand the subjecy to the fullest he's the best.
Best professor ever. You are actually missing out if you don't take this professor or skip class.
GREAT teacher! Makes history fun by telling stories. Tests come straight from the lecture and he gives you the essay question in advance. He wants every student to do well in his class and takes an interest in each student and will help in any way possible. Class fills up fast, so register early!
He is the best teacher i have ever had. Also the best coach i have ever had. A hero and a good man.
Such a fun prof! Very energetic and enthusiastic in every class. He seems to really love history and teaching and his students... and life in general! I never knew history could be so much fun. He has a way of drawing you into his stories. A very interesting guy. I highly recommend this professor. Never a dull moment.

Best history teacher ever. Hands down. He's awesome! His stories are hilarious!! I want to take more history just so I can take him!
Hands-down the most amazing professor ever. I wish I could take him every semester! He makes all of history a thrilling story, and even if you already know the outcome, you will be on the edge of your seat waiting for him to utter the next syllable. Register early - preferably for his Lecture Hall class. His classes fill up super-fast!

i agree with everybody says about vincer. I use to hate history in high school. once i took vince clark for both history class. my major changed every wikely. he makes it fun to learn and to understand the subject. I highly recommened him. his class fell up pretty quick.
Mr. Clark(Vince)is THE BOMB!!!I enjoyed every day in his class. He seriously makes you sit on the edge of your chair as you listen to his lectures! He really tries to work with each sudent and is just an awesome guy!
Vincer is the man, he is by far the best proffessor i have ever taken! i took my first history class at a big university and hated it, he actually made me want to go to my 8 o'clock and i loved it! he is the best, & wether you love or hate history he will have you on the edge of your seat. take him! his tests are so easy and straight from the notes
Vincer is the best. I had him at 8am for both History 1301&1302 and never had a problem getting up to go to class..his lectures are awesome. I had very little interest in History going in and two classes later I can't get enough! He's THE best professor I've ever had and 100% recommend him to everyone. Makes History come ALIVE!
Just look at all of the comments below. His reputation speaks for itself.
very enthusiastic
His naaaammmmee...is Vincer. What can I say? He is the best Professor at MCC. I hated History until I got into Vincer's class. His stories will have you on the floor laughing. I can't wait to go to History again!!
Vincer has a passion for history, you can tell that he enjoys what he teaches. His stories are so captivating. Yea yea I know, no one likes history well Vincer will change your mind. I have him now for 1301 and I made sure to get him for 1302. I would reccomend his class to the dumbest person that you know.
He's a fabulous teacher
From my first history lesson in first grade to date, I've never shown an interest in history, but for the first time in my life I actually wanted to study. The class is not easy, but Clark will inspire the slackers (such as myself) to work. Amazing Class, hands down!
Vincer is amazing. He has so much knowledge in his subject. He is definitely cultured. The way he speaks makes you want to listen. His tests are straight out of the lecture. I would recommend taking him. I've made 1 A, and I am hoping for another next semester.
Best teacher ever. Quality person, nicest and most sincere guy you will ever meet
Such a great class! History has never been interesting to me. I always got extremely bored but Vincer has a way of making it sound so much better. You can tell he really loves his job and he is extremely fair. Would take him again for sure!
Vincer is THE man for anything history related. His class is my absolute favorite! He makes History exciting by telling it as if is happening right at that moment! You can't fall asleep or become bored, because he walks around, and talks as if he is speaking only to you. He is seriously amazing, and I want to take his class over again just for fun!
I TOOK HIM FOR 2 COURSES DURING MY FIRST TWO YEARS OF COLLEGE (1999-00). I spent 9 years as a college student, getting a PhD in an unrelated subject. These two classes were the most interesting of them all, and ?Vincer? remains my all-time favorite. I am now a prof. and wish I had a fraction of his in-class presence.
Vince is absolutely amazing. I've recommended his class to everyone; I would take him every semester if I could. Attendance is ideal, but his podcasts make for an easy catch-up if you miss. TAKE THIS CLASS, you won't regret it! I 100% loved this class!
Best, ever. I promise.
AWESOME CLASS!! You will never know you are in a class, everyone in the room is sitting on the edge of their seat while listening to him lecture! A MUST take!
This is the BEST class I have EVER taken! I have never liked history in the past, but I am excited and looking forward to class each day. Vincer is a great storyteller. He keeps you on the edge of your seat - no sleeping in this class! I'm taking him for 1302 - can't wait! If you show up and listen, you'll easily do well.
Vincer is the BEST teacher I have EVER had!!!
Best prof! Makes history fun!Join Vincer's fan page on facebook! "Vince Clark, the best college professor, ever."
Best professor for history
History has never been more fascinating! I've always been indifferent to it, but I loved it in his class. I never felt myself glancing at my watch and thinking about how much longer until class would end. I'm lucky enough to be signed up for his HIST1302 class next semester! If you want to take his class, sign up early; they fill up fast.
i love love love love love love love him! Such a great prof, but an amazing person. He is so inspiring & full of life. He is so infectious! Everyone wants his attention, yet he is oblivious to how influential he is. Totally a hero. "The truth is not as important as the perception of the truth!" I would take his classes over and over if I could!

THE absolute BEST teacher I've ever had in my whole life!! Going to his class was the highlight of my week! Take him if you can, he will change your life! If you like history, he will make you fall way more in love with it. If you DON'T like history, take Vincer and prepare to fall in love with it too. It's story time in his class.
Vincer is THE BEST! He is very passionate about what he teaches and he makes learning so fun. It's like a story...he doesn't use a book, he just lectures but he's so interesting and fun. I hated history before this class but now I'm very passionate about it. Take Vince and you'll LOVE it!
You can't beat Vincer when it comes to history class. Honestly, i enjoyed his classes the most out of any i've taken so far. Oh, and BARK BARK!!! You'll get that if you take his class.
I loved Vince's class! He made history class seem like I was watching a movie!
Vincer is the greatest Professor you will have at any time during your college career. A passionate man who loves what he does, understands his students. And makes learning fun! The way he lectures it's almost impossible to fall asleep or not pay attention!If you dont take him at least once your missing out! I wish I could take him over and over!
great teacher. i like how he podcast all his lectures. it made it eaiser for me to go back and listen to anything i missed. I Love vincer!! very funny, i made a B in his class. test are pretty easy, just study.
He's the best professor I've ever had the pleasure of taking a class from!! I wish he would've come taught at the university I'm at!
Vince is the funniest and interesting teacher I ever had. I did not like history but he made it very interesting to listen to. He podcasts all his lectures which helps with your tests. He will work with you to help you do your best in this class. If for some reason you don't get it, just ask. He will help you. AWESOME TEACHER
I am four classes from my BS and Vince is my favorite teacher from Kindergarten to now. I recommend him to everyone I know. MCC is blessed to have him. The only drawback is that he only teaches History. I would take him for every class if I could.
Awesome teacher! Have never been so interested in history as I have been in his class. Lectures are like stories. The sound effects and impressions are great. If you get the chance, TAKE THIS TEACHER! I wish he taught more classes. He brings history to life. Thanks Vincer!
Great professor !!!
Probably the only professor to have his own facebook fan page! THAT'S how awesome The Vincer is!! He will be your favorite and most memorable college professor, I guarantee it. I STILL to this day look back at some of his stories and smile. SO AMAZING! I think is fan page is "Vince Clark The Best College Professor Ever" or something like that.
If you attend his class you know will know everything for your test. He teaches history like no one else can. He is awesome. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Such an awesome person! He will be one of the professors I look back on after I graduate and remember how great that class was! It's more like story time than lecture period! Take this class if you can! You'll enjoy it!
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD! If you go to class, you will know everything on the test. I've never been very good at history and he makes it so easy! I will definitely remember for years to come. GO VINCER!
It's the best decision you could make. Just do it.
His tests are based on the lectures. There are no surprises. He is easy to uderstand and is entertaining! I actually like History now...
He is the best teacher ever!
LOVE Vince Clark!! He makes History SO interesting. He will tell you he doesn't think he's that great of a professor but he is the BEST at MCC!!
Vince Clark has got to be one of the best teachers on the face of the earth! If you want to learn and be entertained he's the teacher to take. His tests are straight forward and right out of the lectures. He's also pretty nice.
The class is only easy because he teaches so clear. He teaches history as stories which makes them easy to relate to. The material is still covered deeply.
He is the BEST history teacher ever! I had no interest in history until his class. I highly recommend him to anyone! He is very entertaining! You must come to class and pay attention though. The way he teaches there is no reason for anyone to fail unless they do not care.
Vince Clark is the most awesome professor I've ever had in my life. I've never liked history but now I love it! His lectures are as fun as going to the movies. He will make you laugh and make sure you pass his class. He's very passionate about his subject and will always keep you interested. Easy readings, easy tests. Classes fill up the first week
Love his teaching style. I learned a lot about American History up to 1877 in a way where I am able to remember. I will recommend this professor to anyone that asks me about a good history instructor.
BEST TEACHER EVER! Hands down. I hate history but I loved his class. I remembered everything and never got bored during his lectures. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU GET THE CHANCE
I absolutely recommend this class. Professor Clark is an outstanding orator!
Mr. Clark is by far the best professor I have ever had. He knows his history. He is very helpful and will work with you. His lectures are NEVER boring. If I could take him for everything I would. Take him if you get the chance you won't regret it! Hands down the best professor at MCC!
Class was never boring. He was always full of energy and ready to teach.
Awesome teacher! Awesome class!
Super nice and easy-going! Will stay after class to help you understand information.
Love vince! Very understanding and helpful! Recommend this class to anyone!
Best Professor I've ever had, not only did I make an A but I learn so much from his class. I would take him again for sure!
He was and still is the best college professor I've ever had! I was very sad to finish 1301 & 1302. He is awesome and cares so much about his students!
Awesome professor, already registered for 1302 class in the fall
What is there left to say? Absolutely brilliant speaker, leaves the textbook in the dust in favor of lectures that are immensely enjoyable and informative. Caring, attentive, and pretty funny. Best professor MCC has to offer.
Best classes ever you'll look forward to them!!!! (even if you don't like history)
Amazing professor! Took him twice and made an A in both! All you need to do is study over the lectures and thats all. Highly recommend him!
BY FAR the most amazing professor on campus. You'll feel like you're in a movie! He acts out everything and goes through lectures like a storyplay. You will be so enticed it'll be hard to take notes, but he posts every lecture on a podcast. LIsten to them before a test and you'll realize you learned much more than you thought and ace the tests.
Best history professor by far. Do not even need to buy the textbook because his lectures are podcasted and whatever he lectured about in class will be on the exams. A must take.
He makes History fun, is respectful to students, and is willing to work harder to help you if you will work hard too. My favorite college professor I have ever had.
His lectures make the class interesting .As long as you take notes and study or relisten to lectures the test are pretty easy. He also gives a replacement exam (essay) option if your not satisfied with your lowest test grade. I would definitely take him again! I found that making a quizlet was the easiest way for myself to study.
There are no words for this man but inspirational. He drops the worst test at the end of the semester.... easy A and keeps you very interested... he is so funny as well:)
This instructor makes you WANT to come to class! No question, take him!
If you like stories, take his class. No history book needed for his class, only one book that is mandatory. The test are easy to take and not a lot of testing. Lecture are great, you only need your notebook and your pencil.
Great teacher
I always thought history was boring until I took Professor Clark. I highly recommend him if History is not your subject, you won't regret it. MCC will suffer when this man retires, it will be hard to replace his talent.
THE best of the best. Taking him again for HIS1302. DO NOT take anyone else. Don't need the text book. Tests are over lectures. Uses podcast so when you're absent you can go over the lecture at home the next day.
Vince Clark is my all time favorite teacher. He takes time to explain everything and posts podcasts of all lectures to Black Board. He is engaging, cares about his students, and teaches his subject in a way that is easy to remember. Its worth getting up for his 8:00 am class!
Amazing lectures, but test can be tricky. But, you will laugh
Vince Clark is not just a professor, he's an experience. He's the greatest history teacher I've had; my fellow classmates who didn't care for history, and probably still don't, adored him! I wish he could be cloned and manned the University of the Vincer. I would major in every degree available.
Professor Clark is the BEST professor I have EVERr had! I hate history, but he makes me want to come and learn it. He makes history into a story book that you never want to put down. He greets all of his students every morning by walking around the class. He is really, really nice, and incredibly funny!
Seriously one of the best professors I think I will ever get to experience at McLennan.
Best professor EVER!!! MCC should be proud to have him, he in fact is a great one! Never missed a class because every day was enjoyable. I loved his stories.
Professor Clark is a nice guy that genuinely cares for each of his students. You definitely have to listen in class and take decent notes. The good thing is he records all of his lectures and puts them on blackboard, so I highly recommend going over each lecture again before test time. Tests were tricky, but manageable! Definitely recommend him!
a great teacher. lectures are amazing. you do have to read two books in his class but their short. tests come straight from the lecture which he puts on blackboard as a podcast. each test has one short broad essay question.
He teaches his class in a way that it is easy to remember. If you hate history, you won't after this class!
Professor Clark is one of the best professors I've had so far. I love coming to his class and he really does care about his students. Just ask for help and he'd be more than happy.
BEST TEACHER at MCC. I hate history but made me pay attention. Really recommend him.
BEST TEACHER ALIVE! He only gives 4 test including the final. His test are over his lectures, which he records and post on black board. Very easy grader, and easy test. Attend class but if you miss you can make up by listening to the pod cast. He will lecture as if he is telling a story. Sit in the back BC he walks around & gets u engaged!
GREAT teacher !! He tells stories! That's how he lectures by story telling! You only have 4 test in his class NO homework!!! Yay ! Take Notes or just listen to his stories and remember the stories and you will do great on the test!!! He also records his lectures and posts on Blackboard so you can't remember you can always look on blackboard!
His lectures are amazing! I loved showing up to class and actually looked forward to it. I also liked the fact that he records his lectures and puts them online. They were very helpful when it came time to review for a test.
I loved this class. He tells everything like it's a story and makes history interesting. I wish all my professors were like him.
This professor is just flat out amazing! Best professor I have ever had.
Vince Clark is the greatest teacher I have ever had. I think everyone should take his class. I hated history and actually dreaded taking it in the first place, but I look forward to his class every week. His lectures are so funny. They seem like you're at a comedy show but then you realize you can answer history questions by recalling the stories.
Clark does 4 tests over the course of the semester. After each test is taken that material is in the past. There will never be something you learned the first week of class in the 4th test for instance. Also, he gives the option at the end of the semester to write a essay and use that grade to replace the lowest of your 4 test grades! He's great!!
Great professor. Lectures are told in story form. He records his lectures, listen to those before tests. Take notes. 4 tests total, including the final. After the third test he gives an optional take home essay, do this and it will replace your lowest test grade. Gives essay questions before you take tests, super helpful! Final is not cumulative!
Vincer is an amazing teacher! I recommend him even if you don't need to take him. His tests are easy, lectures are in story form, and no dates! He's hilarious and cares about his students. He gives an extra credit essay. Taking notes by computer is the easiest way to do it. Listen to the lectures after and it's an easy A.
Professor Clark tells the most amazing stories. It is like watching a TV about history but a lot more entertaining. Take notes - extremely important. You don't need the book unless you just want to have. He post his lectures online for access but it is best to just come to class.
Amazing history professor, never have been interested in this subject until Clark's class, show up for the interesting lectures and this class is a fun AND easy A.
Best history professor Ive ever had. Sad to not be in his class anymore!
This professor is awesome! He really cares about his students and offers to stay and help after class ends. He definitely makes history fun and gives lots of extra credit. His class is not hard at all if you show up and listen.
Mr. Clark cares about his students and does everything in his power to help them make a good grade. His lectures are interesting, and he does not assign any homework.
Hes a great teacher and as long as you study and pay attention you will do well.
Took him my first semester at MCC at 8AM and didn't miss one class. I go to UT Austin now and our history profs are no where near how amazing he is. His lectures are like listening to a great book.
Go ahead and register for his class NOW! You won't regret it! Vincer is by far the BEST professor I have ever had. He is such a genuine human being, and he will do anything in his power to help you succeed. He makes history easy to comprehend, and he records his lectures which is very helpful. 10/10 recommend. Do your part, and you'll get an A. :)
Best history teacher I have ever had. Just being there inspired me more than any other class. Would absolutely recommend.
I took this class during the summer and it was worth the time & experience because you learn interesting information about American History. I read two books that were at a affordable price & awesome. Professor Clark really shows true empathy towards his students and has sincerity in teaching. I do not think anyone could teach history the way does.
Vince Clark is the best history teacher there is. If you have to take a history class, take Vince. He makes you forget that you are in a history class and just tells it like a story. If i could take his class over again, I would take him every semester.
I have taken Clark twice now. He is the absoulte best professor to take for history. His lectures are like stories. The tests are not easy if you do not pay attention. If you miss class he records this lectures and posts them on brightspace. 10/10 recommend for anyone.
When people say he's the best they aren't kidding! His lectures are so fascinating, I typically don't care for history but his class definitely got my attention. His tests follow his storylines that he lectures so you don't need the textbook, therefore the tests are straightforward given you listen. Everyone should take his class at least once!!
He is a great professor, he makes the class very interesting with his lectures and puts them into a story form so that they are easier to remember. He will go around the class every morning and shake hands with everyone and ask them how they are doing, he is very friendly and caring.
Pre-rona: Vincer is a fantastic lecturer, and the best history professor I've ever had. He always greets everyone before class and generally just has a very nice demeanor. If you're taking history it should be with him. Post-rona: He handled the transition to online very well. He continued to record and upload his lectures like nothing happened.
I never thought I would like a history class, but vincer makes this class so interesting. His lectures are actually fun to listen to and not boring. He only makes you do 4 essays which are your test grades. He also post podcast so you can go back at anytime to listen to the lectures.
He does a wonderful job of making history sound fun. He treats history as if it were a big folk tale story and his lectures are an adventure. I took him over a year ago and Im pretty sure I still remember a bunch of those stories. I definitely recommend Mr. Vince if you dislike history. He will turn your world around.
He truly lives up to his ratings. By far, one of the best professors I have had at MCC. Super clear on what he wants. There are a few essays, however, they're super doable and not so time consuming. Definitely recommend taking him for any class.
I absolutely adored Vince. I have never been a history kinda gal, but Vince lectures in a way thats easy to understand and keep up with. He knows how to make you laugh, and makes sure to check up on his students and make sure everyone is okay in and out of school. He truly cares for his students and is an amazing professor. Nothing but love
The Vincer is the best Prof. I've Had. He is smart, kind, funny, and works hard to make sure all of his students understand the material. There are very few things you are graded on, but don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to complete them to make sure they're great. He is VERY generous with extensions on late work. TAKE THIS CLASS!
He is a very kind man and with each lecture he will tell a story and the class is pretty easy if you pay attention and he is very laid back.
Best professor ever, his teaching skills are way beyond amazing! I enjoyed every single lecture and I always looked foward to his class. I would 100% recommended this class to anyone.
TAKE HIM!! He is a great professor. Only 4 essays based solely on the lectures which are told in a way that keeps you engaged.
He is extremely understand and easy to reach outside of class. The exams are all short essays so they're very easy.
I love Vince He's the sweetest man ever
took him for dual credit best professor I've had so far
Honestly the best professor I've ever had and the kindest guy ever. I took it during covid for dual credit and he would zoom with us individually on Fridays just to check on us and see if he could do anything to help us. He even came to our high school sporting event. Such a wholesome and incredible guy.
Vince is the best professor you can ask for. All of his lectures are told like stories, and he is very passionate about his teachings and about you as a person. He makes a connection with everyone and is also pretty funny. There are only four assignments (all essays) be he is a really easy grader and it is hard to fail his class!
By far the best Proffesor I've ever had throughout my college career. He makes it interesting and gets to know you by name. If you need a history take him and you won't regret it.
Vince = best teacher I've ever had. I'm not that great of a student but he was able to get me intrigued into American history and I have learned a lot about it because of him. He explains history like stories and is able to leave you on the edge of your seat. Only grades are 4 essays which are easy. Cares about everyone and is passionate/fun.
Wonderful Professor! Each class he takes time to ask us how we are doing and truly cares. Lectures are always interesting, and he gives us his best each week. The class is graded from four essays. Follow his rubric and you'll get a good grade. The textbook is optional. I am excited to take his second class!
Best professor of all time. He's the goat.
Vince is the best teacher here at MCC. He tells amazing stories to help you fully understand U.S. History. He cares about all of his students and checks on you every class.
The best teacher I have ever had and probably ever will have. His unique style of teaching combined with his love and care for his students is remarkable. I truly believe with all my heart that he is the best teacher at MCC. I would HIGHLY ADVISE you to take his classes. It will change your view on history, people, and even life.
Engaging lectures, attentive professor who cares. Four essays, follow the rubric - easy A. Textbook optional. unstuck AI helped with study prep, highly recommended.
Freshly taking MCC classes and was super nervous about my first class. From the first day Vincent has made a HUGE impact on my life!
This professor is honestly one of the best professors ever. The class isn't hard at all. All you have to do is show up to class and listen to his lectures and 4 easy essays. Think of it as listening to a story, that is how he makes it feel. I will really miss taking his class!
Mr.Clark is everything a professor should be. A man who has love and passion for what he teaches and cares about his students. His class is a great start for people new to college and I heavily recommended him. He has four essays all worth 25% of your grade. Pay attention and you'll do great. If you miss class he uploads his lectures online.
