Reviews of professor Max Felker-Kantor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kantor was great, his class involved a lot of small group and larger discussions. You have to write reflections and analysis fairly often but it's not heavy work. You actually need to read the documents assigned (but not necessarily the textbook, which is free online) in order to participate in the discussions.

Felker-Kantor is a solid choice for people that love discussion based classes. He is open to points of view but he doesn't stray out of the course topic which can make high level questions fall flat. Not bad, but he has trouble reigning in the class discussion when it gets off topic which can make future assignments difficult.

Be prepared to read a lot of materials just to prepare you for class. Pay attention and take notes in class because the exams are over the lecture material and readings.

Professor Felker-Kantor is a wonderful teacher. He truly cares about his students. He gets involved in history and interacts with this his class. It was a pleasure learning history from him.

Dr. Felker-Kantor was one of the best professors i've had here at ball state. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. This class does require a lot of reading and class work before class, but the class is overall not too challenging.

Dr. Felker-Kantor is a caring and kind soul. You do have to put work into assignments as he is a tough grader, but he gives many opportunities in class to raise your grade. Attend class, even though it is not technically mandatory. There are in-class assignments.

Max is very heavy on his political views, even if he says he doesn't. No matter how well you write a paper, he will find something that would make it a B or lower. His tests are all written, with no other options. Tests take at least 1 hour to complete (if you write fast.) I felt as though I had no voice in his class, and I just had to listen.

Ive been in his class for about four weeks now and all ive learned is that white people are bad and that we are bad because we are white. Weve only talked about how white people have affected other races or societies for our own goals. I thought when taking this class I would learn about American Involment in the 19th and 20th century.

Dr. Felker-Kantor is an amazing professor! He deeply cares for his students, so feel free to talk to him, if you contribute and show up to class you'll receive an A. There is reading but never a large amount, very manageable work. You'll look at US history in a totally different light. I will definitely be taking some of his other classes!

I recommend Max for anyone taking HIST202! He's so passionate with his lectures and really cares about his students. As long as you stay on top of your work, which is not hard cause there's not much, you'll be fine. And, he gives extra credit.
