He's an okay professor. His lectures are pretty boring and he just drones on. Assigns many readings that can become exhausting. However, he's a fair grader and the class isn't difficult, just lots of work to do.

Bingham is pretty solid but the class isn't a blow-off. You will need to read pretty thoroughly before class or you will flunk a pop quiz which he does very randomly. Borrow textbook from a friend, its like a kids book. 3 tests, pop quizzes, a few papers. You gotta work for it but the content is pretty cool and Bingham is a good guy.

It was an interesting class to take and learn, but this online only course relied heavily on textbook readings, quizzes, and discussion posts. Def is not a blow off class, reading the materials helped a lot during the discussion posts but quizzes were small and unlimited attempts. Great professor, cares about what he's teaching, but hard content.

I can tell Professor Bingham cares about the course and the content he's teaching, but he is an extremely tough grader. This course definitely isn't for the faint of heart. I would say it is imperative that you are VERY knowledgeable about the history of video games, consoles, and everything gaming to succeed in this class.

Hes a good guy, but his classes tend to get a little stale really fast. Doesnt (and refuses to) use slides, his lecture style is jumbled, and hes big on group discussions. Again, hes nice and knows what hes talking about, but definitely not for everyone.

Absolutely loved the content of this class! You'll pass if you engage in discussions, do the reading, and study up basic terms. Shows videos in class which are super helpful so show up! Go to Taco Tuesday and study nights! However, when one student got sick during the final, he banned sugar free gummy bears which was unfortunately my favorite.

Bingham is a great professor! Grades by a few things. Show up, read, and go to his Taco Tuesday study nights where he will critique your papers and even buy food for the class. All around, this is a great class, Bingham really knows his stuff. Played it totally cool when a student vomited into a fan during the final. He is super understanding.

There are readings and required screenings every week before completing a discussion and quiz. It is quite a commitment, but the material is interesting (if you like film even a little bit). The professor seems nice from his responses and email conversations. He offered everyone an extension and extra credit opportunity, which was nice.
