Reviews of professor Charles Grear

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took this course fully online and it was decent. It was discussion heavy, 300+ words for your response and 150+ words for your replies to 2 students. He posted lectures on youtube to help out if anyone needed. The textbook is pretty dull but it is history so that's expected.

Took his class Spring 2022, he is a kind professor. Assignments and tests weren't too bad. The only issue I had was with the discussions and his requirements of each discussion. Also discussion grades were worth more than actual tests and assignments.Discussion requirements were too demanding and tedious but the class was decent overall.

I took him during the covid 19 mess and Im so glad. This class was simple. when we started out on campus, all you had to do was listen & note take. Then when moved online, he posted every lecture on YouTube. Only 30-45min each. he even provides lecture notes that cover all the main points for the test. He lets you use 4 index cards for each exam.

If you hate history this class won't be fun. Online textbook. Discussion assignments are long and there is a lot of reading in the textbooks required for each of them. If you contact the teacher about help on a discussion, he won't help you. He'll just tell you to read the textbook. There are a few couple-page papers. Lots of typing. Yeah, not fun.

I am taking prof. Grear's class and I absolutely love it! The grades aren't just tests but the other assignments are easy to get A's on. As long as you show up to class and do the work it'll be an easy A. He is super passionate and you can tell he really cares about what hes teaching. He is super funny and each class is a blast!

There are 2 essays due bi-weekly, four quizzes, and one test the next week. He is a harsh grader but quick to grade. Could not pass any of his tests. Would not recommend.

Professor Grear is fun & his lectures are entertaining. He is a tough grader. He doesn't give much detail about why he gave the grade he did even when you ask. The exams were difficult. He assigned a LOT of homework, but did give two weeks to complete each lesson. If you work hard and are willing to read the dry text, you should do well.

He's a pretty chill professor, I had a 9:30 class with him and his energy is up there. Just make sure listen to his lectures and you'll be fine.

He gives a lot of work and really doesn't explain how to do anything, there's a lot of reading and writing off of textbooks and he expects you to do everything perfectly if not you'll get a bad grade. Trust me, I got a lot of 0's and D's because he'd say it was AI content in my work when I perfectly did everything myself.
