Reviews of professor Joshua Carey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I looked forward to coming to class each week! Dr. Carey does a great job at making classes engaging & meaningful. Honestly, after have taking this class, for the first time I am really considering getting my masters or PhD. Dr. Carey has shown me great civics education & I am ready to bring that into the classroom.

You essentially teach yourself everything from the textbook. If you miss one peer response to a discussion board post, you're docked 20% on the grade for it. Professor Carey comes off as extremely condescending and rude in email responses when you ask questions. You only meet 4 times in person which is nice though.

I liked Josh! The homework load is decent but manageable as long as you go to class. Make sure you keep up with the reading because you discuss it a lot during class and he can tell when you haven't read. He gives you specific criteria for each assignment which is super helpful! As long as you do the homework and meet the criteria, its an easy A.

He was a good Professor, but when it came to us asking questions he made us feel stupid and called our class "bozos" because his directions weren't clear, and we asked for clarification on the directions. His unit plan at the end of the semester was a good assignment and it helped me for the future, but he is just arrogant and rude.

Professor Carey is really nice and his class is an easy A as long as you keep up with due dates and utilize the textbook. He clearly tells you his policy on due dates, and for simple weekly instructions, there a 0 excuses why you shouldn't be able to get full credit. Also meet a total of 4-5 times entire semester so you have so much time to do hw.

This was one of those classes that you showed up to and watched the clock majority of the time. Honestly, don't know how much I learned about teaching social studies, but if you complete the work you will do fine in the class. WORK AHEAD OF TIME or the end of the semester you will be drowning in course work for his class.
