Reviews of professor Joshua Lynn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Lynn is incredible. I would take a class with him every semester if I could. I've had him twice and I can promise you that you will learn so much and enjoy doing it! He uses interesting primary sources that are a lovely break from boring textbooks. This particular class, Monsters in American History, is my favorite class I've ever taken at EKU.

Dr. Lynn is the most work-heavy professor I've ever had. He assigns a ridiculous amount of reading each week, then gets upset when we can't answer his questions about minute details in the readings. He treats the class like it's our only one, like we have unlimited time to focus on it. He also gets rather condescending when you ask him a question.

i always thought professor Lynn was a great professor. He always kept our class interested and alive with class discussions, he is always avilable outside of class, and he is willing to help whenever it's possible. overall a great professor.

Most of the homework is printing off primary sources, reading them, and then going to class to discuss them. You'll have to print about 1-3 sources some weeks. Some are online with printed papers, but most are to be printed. Dr. Lynn also has students do a quiz on Wednesdays, but they are very short essay questions. He's fun and understanding.

Lynn assigns more reading than any professor I've ever had, and most of it is for nothing, just busy work. Sometimes as much as 70 pages of textbook plus a dozen primary sources. And that's for every class. Seems oblivious to the fact that there's a pandemic going on and we can't handle this amount of work mentally.

quiz every Friday on reading, weird note style of random words on the board, take your own notes, will take points off for being late, counts you as absent if you go on your phone. really tough grader on tests and papers. tests are on bluebooks and require a lot of writing, memorization and multiple choice that's difficult.

Dr. Lynn is an amazing professor. My class was a lot of reading, but thats the norm for history majors. He was super helpful with his feedback on the tests and response papers. All around a great professor and always willing to help students. You will have to work for an A but you will come out better in the end.

I don't understand the accusations of not caring about students. That could not be further from the truth. Dr. Lynn's classes are engaging and a bit demanding so therefore a bit difficult. But if you study, pay attention and do the readings you will thrive. Dr. Lynn was always available by email or office hours. Recommend for any history majors.
