Lectures are nothing more than inane ramblings. The tests were easy enough if you read. I would recommend finding somebody else. It's really just the lectures were so impressively terrible and I'm even into history.

Larry is my fav, he has tons of cool stories per his extensive life experience, and his class isnt too tough. He gives you a study guide with exactly everything on each test so you don't need to fret about covering literally everything in a certain historical period.

Comment:
Larry is a cool dude. I really enjoyed hearing him talk about his life stories and adventures. The class is easy. I found myself only studying an hour or two before tests, and still managing to get A's. Larry is interesting, and a lot more can be learned from this man other than simple 'History'. Enjoy the ride, fellow peers.

Comment:
Really funny professor. Knows his stuff. As long as you pay attention to his "lectures" you'll be good. His lectures consist of him just telling stories and casually going over the stuff you should know. He keeps things entertaining

Comment:
If you enjoy ramblings that have nothing to do with the test, this class is for you. Everything on the test can be found in the textbook, if you search extensively. Not recommended for anyone who doesn't learn by memorization. Also, very old teaching style, maps are difficult to see lines on. Would not take again, learned almost nothing.

Great teacher, really liked his lectures. Great Personality and you can tell he cares about what he teaches. His life experience adds invaluable insight into the lectures... he's hitchhiked around the world for pete's sake! Great Guy, Great Class. A++

Comment:
He's been at NCMC for 40 years or so, and I can see why. He's very laid back, very easy teaching style, very accepting of all viewpoints. I appreciated his sense of humor. However, I wasn't challenged in his class at all - it was a thousand times easier than any of my high school work. If you're looking for an easy A, this is it.

Comment:
I would describe the 3 hour lectures as little more than clumsy anecdote and incoherent rambling. Most of the information is from the textbook and his lectures consist mostly of discussion about local news and sports and pertain little to the subject matter itself. Great if you want an easy A to fulfill a humanities requirement.

Comment:
If you want easy credits take his courses... Long and fairly irrelevant lectures, but the tests are simple and he gives you the information you need to know on a review sheet. Attendance isn't req, but he does do "pop quizzes" which are not available for makeup later. I took his US History II and geography. Easy A if you can study on your own.

Comment:
He is very nice and well traveled, so he has alot of stories to share...however, most of them don't really pertain to class so you feel like you're sitting there learning nothing. Tests are difficult because youre basically expected to memorize the answers on the study sheet word for word and i dont think anyone can remember that much.

Mr. Cummings is a really good teacher. He can be a little boring for a while because it is lecture for an hour and a half but I think that he is very interesting. I would highly recommend that anyone who as to take a history class or something such as a history class take it with Mr. Cummings.

Not only is professor cummings a great teacher, he is a great human being. Last year, after my family left me for dead in an alley, cummings-sensei nursed me back to health and trained me in the ninja arts so that I could fend for myself from then on. He didn't just give me a fish, he TAUGHT me to fish. I'll never forget that man. He is a saint.

He's very easy. He will help you if you ask but for this class you won't need any help. Just do the definitions and you should get an A.
