Reviews of professor Brendon Larimore

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tests are very specific while lectures are very vague. Powerpoints do not have any information on them, so you solely rely on his in-class lectures or the textbook. Leads off-topic ideas into lectures making what needs to be written down confusing. Do not recommend his class.

He is a very fast talker. He doesn't know how to teach. He talks the whole class period. Doesn't give a break. The tests are difficult. Nothing on the slides is in the test. The open questions are always changed. He doesn't use the syllabus. He grades heavy. He gives false hope. He uses the little iPad for his notes. He doesn't remember anything.

He's cool. He talks a lot and it is unengaging. He wants you to remember and be standardized instead of critical thinking. The assignments are for "participation" and the powerpoints are tired. Pics and some notes. I wish this class were more creative.

he is constantly lecturing at a fast pace and does not care if you ask him to slow down. Would not take again even if i was paid

If you want to take a course where you are tested by extremely specific questions that are not mentioned in lectures and learn more from the videos in his lectures take this class.

My problem is that the tests do not cover what was learned in the lecture. It isn't very easy to know what I am even supposed to study. Many of the questions are not important to US history, but rather random trivia knowledge. I am disappointed, I finally began to enjoy learning history, but now I am left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Overall a great guy. Class and tests are mainly based on lectures, make sure to attend class and take good notes. Professor Larmiore is accessible outside of class, so please take advantage and email him with any questions. The class itself is difficult, but it can become more difficult as there are few assignments and tests are weight heavily.

He was genuinely excited about what he teaching and that made the class fun. This was my first class the summer after Covid-19 hit and yes we had to write 5 papers in this 5 week course but he graded pretty easy.

Do not take this class if you want an A. You have to memorize a lot of date and every presidential election ever. If you want A I don't recommend taking this class with him

Professor Larimore doesn't provide a useful study guide, so it's incredibly difficult to prepare for exams, which are proctored with the Respondus Browser and Monitor. There were several weekly essay assignments, and a grueling 10-page term paper which is harshly graded. The average grade in the class was
