One of my all-time favorite Professor/Teachers. He is beyond brilliant, and simply personable. Between his witty humor, and no lack for knowledge, his class should be most enjoyable for any History Major. Hands down, my go-to professor for advice.

Comment:
I took his class that covers Europe in the nineteenth century, and it was at times uncanny. He never looks at his book and he has no notes, he simply spins a tale that draws you into another time. I swear that the man was born in 1840 and he is just sharing his personal memories of the world as it was before 1914.

As long as you study the words given before the tests then you will pass them. He also gives hints for the page long essay on each test so pay attention or just ask. Very interesting to listen to if you pay attention.

I hate history, luckily this man teaches at LC. He gives you exactly what is on the tests, and that is your grade. Extra credit opportunities galore too! Only bad part is his lectures will make you want to fall asleep, but as long as you study a bit, easy A.

Dr. Potter is an excellent professor at Lynchburg College, where he has been teaching for almost 50 years. He spends most of class lecturing, but he is easy to understand and knows pretty much everything about history.

This guy is easy and you learn a lot. Lecture is his style of teaching and you do minimum work. I have done one powerpoint and 2 (hardish) papers in the three semesters I've had him. I got my history minor mostly through him. Im a senior now and he is one of my favorite teachers of all time.

Comment:
Once you catch on to his teaching style, his 101 and 102 courses are easy. Just write down the terms he puts up on the board and jot down some notes on them, because that's what's going to be on the exams. He's got dry humor, so classes aren't entirely boring, though they can be at times. Side note: his bald head is shiny and distracting.

Comment:
I needed an elective, and 19th century Europe was the only class that fit my schedule. Doc introduced me to a world that I didn't know existed. It was if he had been born in 1850 and had lived through most of the period. He didn't use a book because he had seen it all. It was as if he reached out and touched the past. I'm a fan of the 1890s now.

Took multiple classes under Dr. Potter... he was awesome in each! Learning history in his classes was like watching an interesting movie or reading a great book... he told it all like a story and you couldn't help but love it!

I took his 20th Century Europe Class in 2006, and I swear that the man was there the day the Archduke was shot. I always had the feeling that he sharing memories and not facts. I asked him about it once, and he just smiled and said "You never know." He says his grandad was named Harry Potter, and damit I believe him!

If you can listen and complete take home tests and essays well, you can get an A. Amazing Teacher, I walk out everyday knowing something that I could never read in a regular bore bore snore snore history book. Full of stories and he always is a good time and a smile on his face.

I take Dr. Potter for everything he teaches. I used to not think European History was that interesting, but Dr. Potter makes it extremely interesting. As far as I am concerned he is the best in the business. I suggest anyone at LC to take at least one class from Dr. Potter to find out for yourself

I had him in the late 80s for Latin Lit and English history. He is by far one of the best teachers I ever had. He made boring subjects interesting by telling us things that weren't in the textbooks. One reviewer referred to it as gossip, but those pieces of factual trivia is what kept me awake. The mythology part of the Latin Lit is awesome!
