Reviews of professor Charles Grear

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Negative: 1 Tests were extremely hard/questions very broad. I would spend 15-20 hours studying for a test & still fail. 2 Accuses people of cheating/plagiarizing & has no sympathy for uncontrollable mishaps. My internet went out as I was taking a test & he immediately assumed I had cheated & gave me a 0 Positive: 1 Assignments were clear/organized

He was not a good professor; his lectures were irrelevant to the textbook and quizzes. The textbook was mandatory and was they only thing he taught with. There was one paper that was a significant portion of your grade and four quizzes in a week that were very hard. He was good to reply to emails and gave a curve.

DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY! Does NOT grade fair, no matter how much you follow his instructions. Does NOT give feedback or suggestions on how to improve (all feedback is generic and exactly the same for each assignment). Doesn't commit any of HIS time to the class. ALL lectures/assignments are from the publisher not him! HE does not teach!

The other reviews on here are drastically from what I experienced. Dr. Grear immediately responded to emails, graded my written work thoroughly, and literally says what to expect on quizzes and tests. As long as you read the textbook and put decent effort into the papers, this class is incredibly manageable. I reccomend this class and professor.

His class is very easy if you enjoy Texas history. lectures are very interesting yet he does like to go off topic very often. I have the textbook and it is required for the research paper but other than that I've never touched it. Theres only 4 exams which require no studying as long as you listen to the lectures. Research paper does take effort.

I took his class completely online. He made the test grades only worth 10% of the overall grade which is SO clutch, it was discussion heavy which for me is easier than exams. Whenever I had a question he would get back to me pretty timely. He also didn't overload us on homework and gave plenty of time to get assignments/tests completed. Loved him!

Professor Grear is a harsh grader and uses AI detectors to grade work, instead of actually reading it. If you use any general terms or opinions, the AI will detect it as plagiarism and the Professor will give you a zero, no matter how hard you worked. Be prepared to write very detailed discussions and responses every other week, or you will fail.

He comments that he has never had a class that has not plagiarized, that is because he is extremely picky about how you write. Even common wording can get you into trouble because it will sound like you got it from Wikipedia! Make sure you read uncommon sources to write your information - use those citations! He is pickier than any English teacher!
