Reviews of professor Tony Carey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Do not take him. He will not grade your assignments until the week of finals. Other first year seminar profs are much better. Assignments were not explained nor mentioned. The entirety of the course was conversations with partner countries. Interesting but I learned nothing. Really would not recommend this course or this professor.

I am someone who doesn't hate going to class but I dreaded it every day. Lectures are boring, books are hard to get through, and he grades everything way too hard. He never responds to emails with any regularity even if he emails you first. I did not think that I would stress about a UCO but I did. Do not recommend it.

His class is not awful. Although, as a woman who participates in the discussions, he does not converse with me or the other women in my class very often but he does with the men? Most of the class is based on talking to students from universities across the world which is interesting but you will write a lot of papers on the discussions with them.

I was worried at first reading his ratings but Professor Carey is extremely knowledgable and passionate about history. He loves hearing what the students have to say and is very understanding. Grades are based off papers and tests which as long as you do the readings, listen to the lectures, and follow directions for the papers you'll do good.

Paper/project heavy, but what history course isn't? I took him freshman year, and I took him again senior year simply because I knew I liked him. Very knowledgeable. If you don't read and comprehend the books, you won't get good grades. He's very available outside of class for help.

Ahhh Carey. Don't take him Im warning you. I expected this class to be super easy considering it was a freshman seminar, but it was probably one of the hardest classes I have taken yet. He is impossible to please and finds something wrong with everything. Spare yourself and find a different class. Online test are long, 500 words for each response
