Reviews of professor James Mayfield

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
My first year in college was 47 years ago. Hands down the best professor I have ever had. Passionate, student focused and knows his stuff. Class is standing room only and no one misses a day! Forget a textbook and be prepared to learn things you would never expect. I will regret the day this class is over.

Easy class you can probably finish in 2~ hours... for the entire course. 3 Reflections all graded easy and as a bonus, he will look at your work before you submit to see if it is good enough for an A. Zero chances of getting anything lower than an A if you try.

Fasten your seat belt, an amazing journey awaits. Very topical and important subject matter and far from the usual History classes. My second class with James and I left class each day with a new thought provoking issue to contemplate. Three short essay exams (not hard), but he loves feedback and student insight. TAKE HIS CLASSES

Literally the easiest class ever. You will learn about current social issues in America. 3 short written assignments. Easy grader. Just don't get lazy and finish them ASAP to enjoy the rest of your summer/semester!

I took it online during the summer and it was really chill. He didn't have any lectures but we read text and watch videos that were related to the past but were still happening today such as the border. It was really interesting. All I had to do was write a reflection about it.

Took at GWC, not OCC. 6 weeks in summer instead of high school USHistory. On top of grading (lenient and /10 pts) and responding to emails. 2 weeks to write 300 words, self-researched, you probably won't need to ask for an extension but accepts late work still. 4 assignments (3 essays and 1 intro). he likes outside sources and complexity

Paper every other week, choice between two subjects. No formal history lectures, all focus on specific topics. Articles, videos. It was draining to write that many papers - more than freshman comp.

Very easy class. 300 word assignment on various topics due every two weeks and he is a very easy grader. If you do the bare minimum you'll probably get an A. He responds to emails fast and gives good feedback would definitely take again

Great professor, easily the best summer class to take. Four assignments of 300 words only: once every two weeks. Not a tough grader, and appreciates views and different connections between history and modern day. Easier than my health class.

took him this summer, 3 assignment 300 words each on certain topics we have read. Put in effort, meet the word count, share your opinion and you will be rewarded with an A.
