Reviews of professor Eugene McCarraher

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Participation requirements, tough grader, impossible exams, mandatory attendance. The list goes on. All you need to know is you will regret taking this class. Good luck out there

The class feels engaging and won't put you to sleep which in my books is a win.

Eugene is such a good professor! He was really scary the first week but then he started shining. I love his teaching style because it's more philosophical and about your opinion than it is about "ok who remembers the most about the reading?" He actually causes his students to think about their arguments and their views. Also, bring up Mother Teresa

He is okay. I had to write a lot of papers (mostly book reports and essays for midterm & final). The good thing is he is definitely not a tough grader but it was lecture-heavy class and sometimes really boring. On his syllabus, he sounded like attendance was a big deal but he didn't really care about it throughout the semester.

Eugene is the OG and everyone should take his class if they get the chance! He's somewhat hands off in his teaching style and prefers to let students direct discussion and choose essay topics. Overall his class is very fair and you will get out what you put in. You'll probably never want to miss class bc it's always enjoyable and interesting!

His core History course will HARM your GPA. This class is equlivant to the crap you find in between your grandparent's couch cushions. An extreme amount of work followed by a discussion board that is faker than talking to any sorority girl. Steer clear of McCarraher

He is probably my favorite professor I've ever had at Villanova. I took him for ACS 1000 and ACS 1001 and he is truly an inspiring professor. You have readings for the class that day, but he encourages you to explore your own ideas. Has many funny tangents about different topics. Very honest, no filter. Cool hair too.

This American Empire class was impossible for no reason. This guy has no structure, papers are 10+ pages long. He didn't enter any grades into BB until the last week of class come to find out he was giving everyone B's on their papers from months ago. Just take a different history elective that is an easy A. Def not this class
