Reviews of professor Markk Carson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
There will be three books you have to read, they are not the best books to read they're not bad. There will also be three exams you'll have to take but you are allowed to use notes. His class it not hard, it is just about not being lazy and actually doing to readings. Provide a-lot of evidence on exams and in books to get the best grades.

He is not a bad teacher at all! These reviews are so scary LOL, but this class is truly not that bad. There were three papers based off of books he assigned, two exams, and a final! It is a very heavy lectured based class meaning everything you need for the tests and papers will come from the lectures.

HE IS AMAZING! Do not be scared of the reviews. Very clear and straightforward and is NOT a tough grader he makes assignments pretty easy. I loved taking him and his class was not hard for me. If you want to take Carson for 2057 or 2055, I would highly recommend it. He is great.

Attendance is supposedly mandatory because essays + exams require you reference knowledge from the lectures but I always managed to find that stuff online from quizlets or general research. 

All assignments including exams are online. The exams are 24 hours and it is pretty much impossible to fail.

wouldn't call him a "tough" grader, "cruel" would be a more accurate assessment. grades papers and exams like he wants students to fail. that would be bad enough but his lectures are delivered in a droning monotone and are impossible to listen to. avoid, avoid, avoid.

If you do not put a quote every other sentence in your papers he will grade harshly even if your paper makes sense & backs up its assertions. He is partisan and talks about current events and politicians he hates. He does not want you to show you learned something he wants to see you answer his ridiculously worded questions exactly the way he would

I made an account solely to warn all of you. DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE A CLASS TAUGHT BY HIM!! I'm taking him for Vietnam War 4140 and he gives TWO FINALS. A test and a 5 to 7 page essay. His classes are boring and he talks verging on monotone. Also the books are all very long and wordy and you're expected to read them quickly. Stay away.

Get ready to read. There are 3 assigned books, and while they are at least somewhat interesting, they all have an essay to accompany them, which are worth a lot of the grade. His lectures are mandatory, if you do not show up you do not get the info, he just speaks with no slides or anything like that. His standards for essays are unclear, as well.

Took the class as a Gen Ed. Was the hardest class I've had so far.
