Very hard class. Professor didn't make it any easier.

An excellent professor. He gives the exact comments for the A, but he didn't design HIS100 or all the papers.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Horrible professor. Condescending. Little feedback on work, mostly to point out what he thinks you have done wrong. Even when I was getting A's on the assignments, he would find negative critiques but rarely have positive critiques. Misleading prompts and videos, assignments didn't have clear direction because of this. Would never have him again.

The professor is great to talk with on the discussion board and does tell you what to do to get high scores. I didn't appreciate people critiquing posts as part of the directions. Class is graded by rubrics. The textbook is the research kit.

This class was a nightmare for me. Part of it was the course material, but the instructor was very condescending in his critiques of work. There was not a clear cut direction for our final projects, which led to a lot of frustration. This course made me hate the subject of history.

Overall ok prof. He didn't stray too far from the rubric statements and also tailors them in his own words, which overall is a good thing for me. I learned a lot from his links, but you have to go by the research kit.

This class is made up of rubrics, videos and assignments by teachers at the school. Mr. Tripp does a good job of grading by the rubrics and giving feedback in his own words. He also has weekly lectures and announcements I checked and there's no HIST101 in the course catalog; there could be one in the future.

Does not respect student perspective. He is right and you are wrong. Very short with answers. Just not a good teacher all around.
