Reviews of professor William Black

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you are actually wanting to learn about history, do not take him. The class is only 100 points total, but the test and final are essay response, so he is a tough grader on those. You are allowed 7 absences, but I rarely went to class and still got 100% for attendance. This class is a very easy A , but I couldn't tell you 1 thing that I learned.

i thought he overdid the relatable millenial act at the beginning but he's a fun guy. If you show up to class you can learn some stuff. his assignments are very simple and easy. no tests.

He is honestly one of the easiest classes you will ever have to take. I had him on TR so the lectures were really long, but usually they were interesting enough. There are very few assignments. There is an end of the year "essay", but he gives you a lot of freedom so you don't have to do an essay you can do another project like making food, etc.

I would not recommend him, his class is a pain to sit through and I have not learned anything at all from this class. However, it is the easiest class I have ever taken, all you have to do is read 5 pages a week and thats it. So far he has only assigned 1 easy test and a project. If you want the easiest A this would be the class for you.

Dr. Black was a tough professor to follow. His lectures were scattered and I didnt learn much about history. Hes a nice guy but definitely wouldnt take his class again.

If you have any basic history knowledge from high school, you can pass the tests with As every time. His lectures are just everywhere. He tries so hard to be relatable and make the content interesting. I give him an A for effort, but a C- at best for teaching. Super easy A. I had a 100 in the class with no extra credit. Takes forever to grade too.

lectures are all over the place, never went to class. posts the test on black board weeks before taking them. super easy but honestly didnt learn a thing in this class.
