Reviews of professor Shawn Barcroft

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
When he lectures he talks fast and he doesn't even wait for you while you're trying to catch up on taking notes and he's so impatient. He teaches lessons in old fashion way and you don't learn nothing. He doesn't show that he's caring.

Class demands a lot of writing. Discussions and papers had many questions and answered in long paragraphs. Quizzes were multiple-choice but could be difficult to take due to wording. Didn't interact much with Professor Barcroft but instructions were sufficient and grading was fair. I would strongly advise to watch lectures as well as read chapters.

If you don't like history don't take this class. Lectures can be between 30- 60 minutes long. You also have to read the chapters to be ready for the quizzes. You have to one big essay. You also have to watch videos and answer questions for your paper. He does drop your lowest quiz score at the end and you have 2 exams. Also gives 1 extra credit.

This class was very lecture heavy. They could be long yet interesting. Taking notes will also help you out when it comes time to take the quizzes and discussions. The papers are easy but you have to watch multiple videos to answer the questions. You work for the grade you want.

Professor Barcroft is a good professor. Ive had him for History 120 and History 100 in back to back semesters. He strongly follows his rubrics. The two exams can be hard, however, All the material is in the lectures and textbook. His Lectures are fascinating and sometimes funny. It is a fairly easy class, and enjoyable, just have a notebook & pen.

Barcroft is a great professor! I took him online for Fall and the video lectures he posted were easy to follow and really stuck with you. He gives out study guides for exams so you can learn what will be on the exam beforehand and overall it was a great class.

Barcroft is a good history professor. He is pretty strict when it comes to his rubric and very specific, though if you carefully follow his instructions you'll be fine; he'll correct you if you make any mistakes. Email him and he responds quickly. There is a LOT of reading and note-taking, but overall interesting class.

As long you listen and read the lectures and pay close attention you will do good in the class.

Tough class even for a history lover. The quizzes and test are mostly based on his opinion about certain topics rather than actual facts. The Discussion Boards are like essays, so be prepare to write a lot. The Papers are  questions to respond to. Its Vital to read topics in the the textbooks, documents and lectures because they will all be used.

Assignments had nothing to do with history.
