Such a kind and knowledgeable professor.  Always willing to help outside of class and will consider that when grading.  Decent about homework but typically gives plenty of time for larger assignments.  Very understanding and cares about the students learning.

Prof. Beaver is awesome. He is super quirky and is all around a great guy. He is truly passionate about the subjects and is very fair with grading and wants you to suceed. 10/10 recommend.

Without a doubt my favorite professor at Providence. His workload is perfect -not too much nor too little-his lectures incorporate lots of humor and pop culture references (making classes fun and easy to learn), his directions on grading are super clear, and he genuinely cares about students' academic progress. Amazing professor to say the least.

Fairly tough grader, but I really enjoyed his class. His lecture was good and I found his seminars quite interesting.

100% would recommend. He was so easy and spent a lot of seminar just chatting with the class. Participation is key for a good grade, but also will do fine just getting good grades on quizzes.

Dr. Beaver is the GOAT!! His lectures were interesting and if you say 2-3 things in seminar you'll do well in participation. It's not hard to participate because he mostly carries the conversation. If you've at least read the Sparknotes, his quizzes are not hard at all. He seems to really care about his students and is very easy to approach.

honestly such a nice guy and a great professor. I didn't love the team I had with him on it but he was so friendly, accessible and wanted to see his students succeed in seminar. definitely study hard in groups for the exam and cultivate your essays carefully but overall 10/10.

One of the best Civ professors. He had the best lectures on the team and made it clear what information would be important on quizzes/finals. Participation is a big part of your grade, but as long as you show up to seminars and speak once or twice your participation grade will be fine. He cares a lot about his students and is overall a great guy.

Dr. Beaver is a great guy. He cares about his students, clearly knows what he is talking about and how to teach students effectively. Great for seminar and was the best teacher in civ lecture!!!
