Reviews of professor Max Deardorff

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Do not take this class if you are looking for an easy A. This class was way too difficult for a quest course, which is supposed to be fun and a GPA booster. Class had a 2,000 word requirement, but we went wayy over that. Papers are graded way too harshly as well - this class couldve been really interesting but they went way too overboard with it.

Professor Deardorff was amazing! This class was the first Ive ever taken with him, and I was very surprised by how interesting the course was and how nice Deardorff is. There are many papers in this class, but as long as you do the readings you should be able to get an A. Deardorff also cultivates a great classroom environment for discussions!

Dr. Deardorff is an amazing professor! He cares greatly for the education of his students. The lectures are a real treat, you leave each class with the sense of getting a real education in that subject field. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is serious about pursuing the "History Major" at UF to take his courses. He is the best!

Prof. Deardroff is a super nice guy! The lectures drag on and can get a little exhausting, but they're still really informative and interesting. The essays can be a little difficult, but it really depends on who you get as a TA. Dr. D himself isn't a horribly rough grader. Overall, it was a fun class and the professor is great.

The class material was so fun. My only complaint is he was very inconsistent on tests and papers. The instructions were changing up until the day they were due, with one test going from multiple choice to two long essays. The class difficulty was more than expected for a Quest class. It wasn't impossible just know it isn't an easy breezy class.
