Professor Davis was one of my very favorite professors at TMCC. He was funny, caring, and flexible. His course was set up so that you could complete the assignments at your own pace I have been able to keep in touch with him since I took his class and he still genuinely cares about me and my school career.

Mr. Davis is amazing. Sends out funny quotes sometimes about things on his mind. I ended up getting a 100% on the one paper that we had. Probably one of the easiest classes I have ever taken in my life. Davis runs the class pretty straightforward and is extremely sweet.

HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. I WISH ALL THE TEACHERS WERE LIKE HIM. I love his daily jokes and very understanding teacher (,: . God bless his kindness and organized lectures. Get ready to read because he writes his own book or article and post it on modules. The quizzes are open book and there is a discussions but will respect ur opinion.

I hate political science but this was one of my favorite classes that I've taken at TMCC. He opened up the entire semester so that you could do it at your own pace. The work wasn't difficult if you put the time in. He was an amazing professor. Very understanding and an amazing sense of humor, especially for being online. Sent out weekly dad jokes.

Dr. Davis was a charm. Entire class is self-paced. 13 OPEN BOOK chapter quizzes and each didn't take long to read. 5 discussions with a 250-word minimum where you answer a few questions. Nevada test, also a 3-5 page research paper with a list of topics to choose. Davis was a very easy grader and emails back fast. Sent out daily jokes. Easy A.

Great Class! Everything is open to you as soon as the semester is started. Go at your own pace. Biggest thing is a 3-5 page paper but don't stress about it. Just spend some time and it will get done. No need to buy the book, he gives it to you! He sends cheesy funny jokes everyday! This class is a stress free class! Take Him!

I enjoyed his class. Every weekday he'd send us a dad joke lol. The majority of learning was through quizzes (11) self paced, not locked, in which all answers were in the chapter or a few found online. Most "difficult" thing was 1 compare and contrast essay, so keep tabs on comparisons between US & NV Constitutions throughout and you'll do great :)

I took this class during the summer and it was relatively easy. A discussion was due every Sunday and there were about 15 chapters and quizzes. Everything was open book and he gives you plenty of time. There is one research essay but he lets you pick from a list of topics. He's really funny and grades fast. Just read the book and you'll be fine.

Davis is one of the best professors out there. Sends jokes out every day and is very laid-back, easy to talk to and provides lots of good feedback. I took PSC101 w/ him, would definitely take another class. Class is very laid-back, work at your own pace and complete before a deadline. One research paper due but he grades very lightly.

Dr. Davis was such a fun and engaging professor. His discussions were thought provoking and he gives such kind and useful feedback. The class is fairly self paced, with just the discussions due on certain days. The quizzes are all due at the end of the semester and they're open note. This was a fun and easy A, I highly recommend Dr. Davis.

GREAT teacher! I took this class online and everyday he sent out these funny messages that always made me laugh. The class (quizzes) is very oriented on the textbook, but if you read the material you'll be fine. There is a 3-5 page research paper however, you can start it as early as you want. I would definitely have Davis as a teacher again!!

One of the best professors that I have had so far. He gives very good feedback. From begging on his syllabus he lets you know what has to be done and you can work ahead just as long as assignments are turned in before or on the due date. I would highly recommend this class for an easy grade and not so stressful.

Dr. Davis had a series or open textbook quizzes due at the end of the semester, a few short discussions due every week or so, and a essay due at the end of the semester. We were able to choose the topic of our essay from a list. Dr. Davis is hilarious, gives good feedback, and grades almost instantly. What's required for the class is very clear.

He is a really funny teacher, sends out daily memos like shower thoughts and the class is interesting. If you research what your writing about he will see that and give you a good grade. he elaborates on why he gives you the grade he does.

Super easy summer class. 15 quizzes, 1 Nevada test, 4 discussions, and 1 essay are all that were due for the entire class. He emails jokes every week day and responds to emails/assignments surprisingly fast. Even though there are controversial topics discussed, he is very respectful throughout the assignments. Definitely take him!

Easiest class I have ever taken. 12 OPEN BOOK quizzes word for word answers in the textbook. Just read the textbook and you will do great. Passed every quiz 15/15. 4 discussion posts (250 words, no replies to ppl, just answer the questions asked. They are all opinion-based), and one 3 page paper. I only missed 1 point for the class. So easy.

Very easy class. Amazing Professor. There are about 12-15 quizzes which are easy 10 point multiple choice. I finished about two months early. Everything on the quizzes is in the book. About three discussions and he sends jokes everyday. This old man has great humor and is a fast replies. Definitely recommended and I would take his class twice more!

where do i even begin, this professor is AMAZING. Even though i didn't get to meet him in person due to Covid, his emails to our class always put a smile on my face. you definitely need to read the chapters in the book because the quizzes are unique but not hard. you have one 3-5 page research paper. you have access to all of it from the begining.
