| Additional Comments |
I do not recommend Dr. Duffin as a history teacher. However, he gets an okay because he seems to be a really nice guy. He is willing to stay after class and talk with you about your grade, and basically work with you if you're uncomfortable in the class. However, this class is insane for a freshman level course. I have always been a straight A student and was expecting this to be a fairly easy course. What a mistake! Every single day you take notes from a power point, and expect to take around 4 - 5 pgs of notes per day. There are 3 tests-- each test is ONE essay. He expects you to write 2 blue books worth of essay in one 50 minute class period. For each test I wrote over 14 pages and squeaked out with a low A. The third test is the final, which is the same exact format. Also, you read 2 books and are expected to write a 4 page essay on the book. This is difficult because he does not want a review. He asks you a specific question about the book that you have to answer using quotes from the text. Also, Duffin is the only teacher I know of who will fail you if you do not turn in an assignment. Every assignment must be handed in if you expect a grade, even if it is a 10 point paper.
Like I said, Duffin is a good guy. I wouldn't mind talking to him or asking him for advice on something -- But I STRONGLY advise you to take another history class.
