Literally skipped class like once every two weeks and he didn't even care. He assigns homework but never checks to see if people emailed it to him, so I stopped doing the homework and I still got a B. His lectures are boring, but it gives you some good time to study for work in other classes or watch sports highlights lol and I got a solid grade so

I am writing this while in his US History class. He doesn't believe in tests/quizzes. There is a "group project" but its a big joke, you just research a war and tell the class about it, very informal. Homework for every class just taking notes. If you do an ok job at HW he will call on you. Once he learns ur name he'll call on u EVERY DAY.

if you need a history credit, take this class. easiest class I have ever taken. You can literally not pay attention the whole time and still get an A in the class. There are no tests, only 2 essays that are 1,000 words. One homework assignment every class that is usually 3 questions. lectures for the whole class but you don't have to listen.

Professor McClymer is very disorganized. He's horrible at passing things back and didn't even give me a midterm grade like he was supposed to. I did a review for him on a book and he never even graded it, and it was due in the beginning September and now it's the middle of November and still nothing. His class is pretty easy though. I skipped it maybe 4 or 5 times and it made no difference to my grade nor did I really miss anything

There is one blackboard post a night and there are no exams. Only one group project and a final project. This class is a joke. You don't need to show up and if you do just sit on your laptop. No note taking needed.

So easy. class is just lecture, but everyone just goes on their computer and he doesn't care. two papers, have no idea what i got on them still because he is the slowest grader. final is a paper and only one other project on a movie. so easy.

Okay so Professor McClymer is super nice but he has one of the most boring lectures. Every single class you have an online homework due and then you go over it in class and listen to him lecture. No matter how hard you try to pay attention, you can't. He never takes attendance and you never know your grade in the class.

As I am writing this review in class, the kid next to me is watching Lacrosse highlights and a kid two seats up is watching House. His lectures make no sense, and no matter how hard you try to get involved eventually you give up. I like History but hate his class, and all of the homework is online and he doesn't take attendance.

Extremely boring, I am actually doing this review in his class. His lectures make no sense, and whenever you TRY to get involved in his class he goes off on a tangent and confuses everybody. I actually loved history in High School but dread this class. Doesn't take attendance, and all of his homework is online really no reason to come.

he is the man, always lets you turn things in late without killing your grade he teaches if you listen and ask question or even try you will have a good grade but don't take advantage of his lecture by not doing anything or saying anything else your know as one that's not trying

He really isn't that bad but class can be uninteresting. Only two papers. He doesn't take attendance. All the hw is online, but it's easy. Just post your opinions on topics and he will just read peoples during class. It isn't formal presentations or in front of the class. Easy Class!

He used online and blackboard more than the assigned books. The class was on the Civil War and he sent the entire time talking about something else.

Gives oral group reports due next class so you don't even know the faces of people in your group. Lectures put you to sleep. Nothing worthy of being written down in a notebook. Just reads students' response to discussion board questions.

Comment:

ben franklin. sex. pretty much sums up the class. Everything is online and he just calls on people to read their responses...the same exact people every day. So if your not one of the "lucky few" he calls on, you could easily fall asleep in class. The class is so incredibly boring, but he is a harmless, nice man who actually knows a lot.

McClymer definitely takes advantage of the fact that he has tenure because he doesnt even bother to teach. He lectures the whole class, most of which is just meaningless opinions that he has. Everything is online and theres basically no reason to go to class, but he takes attendence. Hes easy enough but he is so boring and creepy.. not worth it

Prof. McClymer is a very nice guy, easy to talk to, he never take attendence but all of his homework is submitted online, he is very smart but lectures for 75% of the class time, I highly recommend him
