i love him! the way he lectures is kind of like a story....he makes it interesting and makes it into a story, not just reading off a slide. if you go to class and take notes you def will have an A!! and he makes references to his drinking/party days in college. quote: "why do you think it took me 11 years to get my degree?". love him :)

Great Teacher, has his students interests in mind all the time. Made history interesting, which I felt was boring before class. Gives extra credit, but doesn't curve. Lets you know anything you need, very clear. Never opened the book, just pay attention and take notes from his power points and he'll be an easy B. Do the extra credit, it helps.

He's really clear about what he's going to test you over. Attendance isn't mandatory but sometimes he'll assign a paper and if you're not there that day, you can't turn it in. Other than that, the class is an easy A. You actually do have to read, especially the two books he assigns. You can't pass by using sparknotes.

He has actually made history interesting for me. If you write down the notes on the PowerPoint and also what he says, you will do well on the tests. I have not even opened the book.

I was scared of HIST 3300 but he made it such a beneficial & smooth class. He's the sweetest man & gives great feedback. This is prob the most valuable class I've taken so far. It is a lotttt of HW and essays- sometimes multiple a week. But I promise he makes it manageable. Grades extremely easy, I made an A+ on everything. Take him!! He's so kind

He is honestly a jerk. I took him for intro to historical research and he is the absolute WORST at explaining assignments. All you will hear is refer to turabian which as a whole is NOT a good book to depend upon. The explanations are hard to follow. He also played heavy favoritism to the students hes had before.

Overall, he is nice and ready to deliver you with the knowledge. If you are a history major, maybe he is the best one since he goes in-depth on every topic; if not, it's a lot if you are taking this class as a pre-requisite class. Lots of essays and other assignments consume lots of time that you could have invested in your other major classes.

Dr. Hunnicutt is a really good guy that cares for his students. There is a lot of writing but it is a research class. I think the content I learned will really help in the future. Dr. Hunnicutt grades pretty easily. Just turn in your work on time and you will pass.

Dr. Hunnicutt is the professor you always imagine having once you are in college. Engaging, analytical, calm demeanor, and has a way of making what feels like the most stressful task, seem easy once he breaks it down for you. Cannot recommend this awesome HUMAN BEING enough! Wish I had found him earlier in my academic career.

He has to be one of the most caring people that I have ever encountered unlike other professors in the history department. He really enjoys seeing the growth in all of his students.

Dr. Hunnicutt, without question, is the best professor at UT-Arlington. He's very good at speaking and teaching, is understanding of any problems that may arise, and is a blast to be around. I highly recommend taking hi for HIST-3300.

I really enjoy his "fun facts." He goes out of his way for those who attend class. There are only a few assignments. If you fail your first assignment do not be discouraged go to his office hours and talk to him.

Great professor. He's very knowledgable so a lot of the information comes from his lectures on his PowerPoints, which don't have a lot of content on them. If you can't make the class, he has it recorded on Echo360 and is very accessible. He was also very good at responding emails, and cracks a few jokes here and there that will make you chuckle

I took Dr Hunnicutt for the History of Punishment in Early Modern France, Britain, and America which is Whips, Chains, and Dungeons for short. As a selected topics in History. He is the best instructor in the History Department and wants you to pass his class. Unfortunately he's retiring after fall 2024 he might teach again in the future.

Professor Hunnicutt is one of the nicest professors you can find and I would recommend any of his classes to anyone needing history credits. My course revolved around 5 major book reports that each took a good amount of time, but other than that the course is very easy. There is also a group project, but it's very laid back.

Lectures aren't mandatory, light workload. For untests make sure you cite properly and use YAWP textbook and lecture notes, they are a little confusing at first but he drops the lowest one. Tests are straight from the powerpoint and they are taken at home even tho it is an in person class. Overall I liked this class and he is very nice.

I highly recommend taking this class especially if you're a freshman trying to warm up into college. His work is straight foward and easy and he is quick to reply to emails if you ever have a question. He's probably the nicest and least strict teachers at UTA

Very great professor overall. Online textbook (free). Approximately 4-60 question quizzes and 4 essays (all online, not taken in person), 1 quiz, 1 essay is dropped and the final was multiple choice (online) . Open to tutoring and any/all questions he answers. Attendance not mandatory, lectures are straightforward. Suggest note taking the outlines.
