Reviews of professor Charles Grear

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Grear is very communicative and open both inside and outside the classroom. We had one written paper, four single page primary source analysis assignments, and four exams. Exams were very easy, multiple choice and included 15 minutes of open book. His lectures involve the class and tie into popular culture making it easier to learn.

History is my worst subject and he didn't make it any easier I wished he would have done some type of homework, reviews for the test, or class assignments.

I took his online class. Easy A as long as you do the few things he assigns. Every Friday there was a discussion post or short written assignment due. These were very easy. There were review quizzes before the actual ones and the test were very easy. The 4th test is what he made the final. There was only one paper due. He was very helpful as well!

This professor is very quick to assume someone has cheated when that is not the case. He grades hard and expects you to remember everything quickly. No textbooks or notes are allowed during any of the exams, which is weirds, we should at least be able to use a study guide. I mean it is a History class. All in all I would not recommend this class.

Everything is plagiarism to this professor, he will call you out on it and give you "chances".

Every week there is a writing assignment due which requires a decent amount of reading. The readings are mostly academic articles. I really struggled and made C's on the writing assignments even after spending about 8-10 hours on each one. A plus side to this class is there is no homework other than the weekly writing assignments.

Postive- quick response times, accessible 
Negative- clear lack of professor instruction in this course. he does not teach and lets an incredibly lengthy textbook teach for him. devotes none of how own time/thoughts to lessons. also very quick to claim that students plagiarized or cheated. be ready to read and take difficult and vague tests.

I would not take this professor again.  He expects us to do 300 word writing assignments plus answer 2 students discussion post and each post has to be 150 words that's 600 words for each writing assignment.  His test questions are very broad. He is very quick to accuse of plagiarism.  Unless you like lots of homework, don't take him.

I took this class this spring 2020 semester and had to transition to online learning because of the coronavirus. History is not my strongest subject and this class did not help. No study guides before the exams and lots of notetaking and reading to do. If you aren't good at history I don't recommend taking this class :(
