Super nice professor and responded back fast. A bit unorganized though, free textbook. There were weekly quizzes and the only way to do well on them is by reading the chapters from the textbook. He gave a lot of extra credit and was super easy going but there is a lot of reading. You have a good chance of getting an A and he is a nice guy!

Lots of reading, but that's to be expected with a history class. He doesn't grade at a reasonable pace at all, so it's kind of difficult to meet his expectations if you don't know what they are. Overall, a very average experience.

(Online) Easy A if you're a "quizlet user". I don't know how I would have passed the finals just by studying the book. Very test heavy. Lets you watch videos and movies in place of a lecture which was great.

Somewhat easy online class, he gives extra credit if you go beyond the simple expectations on some written assignments. Lots of questions straight from the book

The professor was super unorganized, never graded our papers on time, and rarely gave them back to us. He strayed a lot from the syllabus which caused him to cram in tests and quizzes the last two weeks of class. He told jokes that could sometimes be offensive to some people, and was often late to class resulting in letting the class out late.

Cool guy, but his teaching is messy. He was unorganized & did not follow the syllabus. Squeezed in a bunch of tests the last month of school. The very last week of class we had one test on Monday, then another test on Wednesday, then our final the following week. IF you like history and you read the book you'll do great..

He asked our class for our opinion on things but when I gave my views on a hot political topic, that differed from his, he took it out on me. As long as you don't give out any opinions that differ from his, he is nice.

Easy-A big time. He mainly grades based on reading rather than lecture, so just prepare for that. He offers so much extra credit so it's tough not to pass his course. Very reasonable and kind. Would recommend him to anyone. Take him!

Excellent Professor. Really nice guy. Lectures are jam packed with a lot of information but he does a good job covering it. Not many tests or quizzes. Highly recommended.

Professor Hopkins is a great man. He does stray off topic during class once in a while and can be a little disorganized, but he does bring in good discussion which is fun. Class is pretty easy as long as you put in pretty minimal effort.

You know this teacher - "the nice guy". He is super duper human, and relates the class to modern day happenings. His disorganization is his only weakness, which caused me to feel uneasy about my grade, but in the end it all worked out. Just pay attention in class (notesgood), refresh on prior knowledge of US History, and you should be good to go.

I had Mr. Hopkins for Honors U.S History. He is a great teacher who really cares about his students and is always willing to help. As long as you pay attention and study you will pass. His lectures are enjoyable and highly recommend him. The research paper isn't to tough and he is a semi lenient grader when it comes to essays.
