Reviews of professor Joe Haker

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He was a very good teacher. there was a good amount of work including 30 questions, 30 quizzes, 7 digests, freewrites, and final portfolio. It gets easier overtime and may seem like a lot at first. he grades everything by checks/minuses no letters until course end but is a very easy grader.lots of readings, make sure you show up; graded. take notes

Joe Haker is probably one of the best teachers I've had. He's funny, he makes fun of historical events and presidents without going too far, it makes class quite entertaining. His lectures and the way he teaches is able to make history sound like a story that I want to know more about. I never liked history until I took this class. Efficient Grader

There can be a good amount of work at times, but once you get into the routine it is not bad at all there is just a lot of reading. Other than that he is great at responding to emails and is very flexible with assignments overall good teacher!

Haker himself was a good professor. I was in the online HIST 1032 course. Typically you have two weekly assignments that are pretty quick and two assignments due biweekly that require more work. It's a lot of work along with the chapter-long readings, supplemental lectures, and primary sources so make sure to set a decent chunk of time for them.

This class was more work than any other I took this semester, but it was worth it. He is a great lecturer and I enjoyed doing the work. The weekly assignments are long, but his grading system makes it easy to be successful. He handles difficult historical topics quite well, and as a minority student, I have never felt more seen in a history course.

He was such a nice teacher. Gave extensions every time, just SO much homework. Make sure to stay ahead!

Joe Hacker was kind, caring, and much more. Partipation does matter, There is no final exam you just talk to him for 10 mintites for a reflection, super easy. You get the hang of the class after the first 2 weeks. Very easy to manage. There are a lot of readings, but if you take notes and share them with the class, he appreciates that. easy grader

His class was amazing! He gives extensions, grades by checks & minuses, has a reading or video to watch before the in-class lecture (pretty easy & interesting though), and overall wants you to succeed. The midterm and final are easy too. No exams! Great class, 100% would take again even not for credit!!! Make sure to participate in class though!!

Joe is a really nice dude, and his lectures are really interesting. He's SUPER flexible on deadlines and has a labor-based grading system, so you pick your grade by how involved you wanna be. He also answers emails super quickly, which you don't find with a lot of professors. Great class for new college students.
