Reviews of professor Markk Carson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I love U.S. history, but I absolutely hated his grading and teaching style. He does not have assignments or homework, only essays and exams. He very rarely puts bullet points on the screen or stops to allow students to write. He also put one essay due only a week before another. While he does know the material, I would never take him again.

I don't know if you could make a lecture more boring. Bro puts pictures on the board, and then reads off a printed, front and back, single space, typed out word document like he just got called on to read in an elementary classroom. On top of his insanely boring lectures, his essay prompts are some of the weirdest and most confusing things ever.

This course has very few grades, and they are all major essays/exams. To make matters worse, each essay/exam is graded extremely tough. His lectures are a slog but I found the material to be interesting. Overall, a boring class but at least attendance isn't required.

This class was like scraping your teeth on concrete. All he does is talk. Its an hour long podcast where the host has a monotonous voice that likes to hear himself talk. There are only 6 grades, 3 of are essays on books that have zilch to do with the class. TA's grade like they want prof to adopt them. He does too much for a gen-ed hist course

The guy is knowledgeable but man do I wish he gave us more grades during the semester. Really tough grader with very little room for mistake. Also two parts to the final exam that take hours each during exam week. Like come on, just too much at the end. Never again. Take a different 4000 history if you can.

He is a very tough teacher, but is relatively understanding and very knowledgeable on the subject. The material is quite boring and he lectures as though he is reading straight out of the textbook. Attendance is not required, though. If you are not a history major/minor do not take the class, because even I found the class to be a drag.
