The professor was a cool guy but the class was tough. No matter what I did it seemed that passing wasn't doable. The exams were the hard part didn't match the study guide that was given. If you take this professor get ready because he gives test every week

Definitely the hardest class I've taken throughout my 2 years. Nothing but tests and quizzes. I was given less time on the quizzes than there are questions (5-8 mins for 10 questions). The study guides for the 3 big exams had nothing to do with the exams and were basically no help. Zoom meetings were little help too. Very hard class in my opinion.

Pretty clear on what to expect in the course. there is many quizzes which you must be prepared for. I didn't purchase the book and received decent scores on quizzes. Gives many extra credit assignments and grading scale is curved. Three large tests and 1 essay. This was my first VVC class I have taken and it wasn't too bad.

As long as you do what you are supposed to you should pass his class easily! Professor Dupree gives you all the material to pass the quizzes and tests. He was available and responded in a timely manner on any questions I had!

Great Professor, very accommodating when you let him know what is going on. Genuinely is concerned if you understand the work. He does a zoom meeting for study guides on exams, I have taken him in person and online. Online was easier for me. Dad jokes in the exams. One 10 question quiz a week, chapter tests have 3 tries with more than enough time.

There was lots of content covered and it was a bit overwhelming, but Mr. Dupree is a great professor that is always available to help his students. He gives great exam review videos for the mandatory 2 you have to take on campus. Be sure to follow rubrics, study hard for each exam, and be sure to stay caught up because it is easy to fall behind.

Very difficult teacher, tough grader and odd grade scale. So many quizzes a week! Lots of reading! The study guides for the exams are a bit confusing. The extra credit isn't even worth the time to do it. Seems like a nice guy but i won't be taking his class again.

The class was enlightening yet challenging with the long chapters. Prof D made it slightly more easier with extra government links to info and opportunities for extra credit. He was very easy-going and quick to respond to any questions. Good teacher all around.

I took Professor Dupree's online class and I have to admit there was a lot of homework; however, my course was also a winter course so it was condensed. His class was manageable, but it did take some work. He also requires you to go to campus twice for your first and last exams. Even though there was a lot of work, he tried to make it fun.

I loved Mr. Dupree. Very easy class and interesting subject. There were about 2 pop quizzes in class, 6 quizzes on BB. Felt more prepared for quizzes than tests because he provided more info with documents online. Study guides for exams were a bit confusing.

Mr. Dupree was a excellent teacher, not that much homework only about 6 MindTap assignments, one community meeting review, a portfolio project exam on blackboard. There also were only three exams and one was open book/notes. The only thing I didn't like when he would stray off from the question we asked and go to a different subject in government.

Awesome professor, learned a very great deal, he gives lots of homework, many chapter quizes. If you do the reading you will pass the quizes, and tests, and for his tests he gives study guides for you to fill out as you read, and the test questions are directly from there. Great teacher.
