Jonathan England AASP100H Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2019	I'm a senior and Professor England is easily one of the best teachers I've had at university. He's hilarious and makes every class interesting/easy to learn from. You do have to put in work to succeed but he is understanding with student needs and I've definitely found myself motivated to do well on his assignments (he gives you a lot of personal freedom). Can't hype this guy up enough, he is the real deal
Jonathan England AASP100 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2018	Easily the most entertaining professor I had at UMD. Makes class interesting and is very helpful to students. Highly recommend!
Jonathan England AASP100 Returningsystems 04/16/2016	Great lecturer. One of those classes where you'll learn a ton and won't mind going to class in the process. Excellent!
Jonathan England AASP100 Anonymous 05/11/2015	WOW. What can i say? by far the best professor i have had in college. not only does he know his stuff but he cares about his students too. He is extremely nice, and spends time to get to know everyone in the class. He will share stories about his family and crazy, funny life. He makes every class enjoyable to the point where i can actually convince myself to go to a class. Very funny, very easy going, very nice. Cannot say enough good things about him. Take his class!
Jonathan England AASP100H CamelCase 03/24/2015	England is the man. You will seriously learn a lot more than you plan to in this class, and his class material is kept interesting and relevant by talking about current events. You will have a great time in this class if you come to lecture and pay attention, which is also the best way to do well on the exams. Sometimes he'll even say "this will be a quiz question". He's genuinely exciting about teaching and interested in what his students think. He will often ask the class for their opinion. Answer him! It makes for a more interesting discussion.
Jonathan England AASP100H Expecting an A Anonymous 04/30/2014	Jonathan is an amazing professor. He's super personable, hilarious, and likes to make every class interesting. The class material is fascinating, and he teaches it in a way that keeps you engaged and actually makes you want to learn and retain the information. 4-6 easy quizzes, technically "required" readings, but you don't have to read (I never did), he doesn't test on the readings. Take this class, soooo worth it!

Jonathan England AASP100 Expecting an A Anonymous 09/23/2012	This class is a huge eye-opener for anyone. Jon exposes you to the academic side of African American studies, which should help you view racial relations from a new perspective. His class consists of a midterm, final exam, 4 short papers (you can instead do 2 short papers and 1 long one), 2 "random assignments" which will likely be short papers, 4 mini quizzes that are announced ahead of time, and class participation. There is a lot of reading, but you don't really have to do any of it to succeed in the class, but you will get much more out of the lectures if you at least skim them. Overall extremely easy class to do well in, and given Jon's sociable and lively attitude, you'll never want to skip class. Highly recommended.
Jonathan England AASP100H Expecting an A Anonymous 04/26/2012	Johnathan is awesome. You'll be laughing in every class. There's not a lot of work involved. a midterm and final and 2 small reaction papers. He also gives out a few pop quizzes throughout the semester but they don't count as a significant portion of your grade. If you need an SH take this class!
Jonathan England AASP100 Anonymous 02/13/2012	You have to take this teacher and class. Teacher is funny, chill, cool. I've only been in class for like 2 weeks and he's a boss. If your a nerd and are used to deadlines and an organized schedule dont take this class because you won't like it. But if your an average joe take this. Easy, fun, best teacher.
Jonathan England AASP100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/01/2012	Jonathan is such a laid back person and he is totally engaging. He's extremely funny and his class is great. You do learn a lot and if you need a SH core I would highly recommend his class. He gives "pop" quizzes that he mentions beforehand. For example, he'll say there's a quiz this week and it's not today; so u know it'll be the next class. There are three papers about 3-4 pages. Not bad to write at all and he gives you plenty of options. There is a midterm and a final. All of the quizzes and exams incorporate multiple choice and short answer. He allows you to choose between a set of dates to turn in your paper. The only down side to his class is that you really have to work hard to do well on the exams and papers. He gives out review sheets for the exams and buying the books are not necessary for the class
Jonathan England AASP100 Jamie Dami Kim 11/18/2010	He is the most awesome professor that I have ever had!!!!!! he's so hilarious and he's got such a awesome personality!!!!!!!!!!! I love him so much. also he does not give a lot of works that is ridiculously meaningless. He doesn't try to teach us, but make us learn something from real life, which i loved the most! TAKE HIS CLASS!
Jonathan England AASP498W Expecting a B Anonymous 03/26/2010	The best professor I've ever had at Maryland. He's very funny and entertaining. He relates his topics to current events and makes his subject matter very interesting to study. He's very understanding and a great instructor. In addition to having great personality, he doesn't give a lot of work.
Jonathan England AASP100 Expecting an A aberk 12/16/2009	Great professor!!! Made me absolutely love this class! Im a science major and this class was my favorite this semester. I was tempted to skip a few classes since i had it at 9:30am, but his humor made me want to go. Hes very funny and keeps you up to date on the pop culture - its very refreshing when you attend classes like organic chemistry. You dont even have to do the readings and he gives you hints when a quiz is coming up. Also you have 2 write 4, 2-page essays but the due dates are up to you and you can pick your own topic. He grades very easy as well. I barely put any time into writing those essays and the lowest i got was a 90. As for the exams, theres only two (mid-term and final) and he gives you review sheets for both. The exams themselves aren't that hard and if you study enough you could probably get a 100% on them. I would definitely recommend this class with this professor!!
Jonathan England AASP100H Anonymous 11/30/2009	i got stuck in this class and wasnt excited until i met the professor. he is a great teacher and a hilarious guy that actually manages to take a history related topic (AKA boring to the max) and make it fun and interesting. and as a bonus he does girl scout cookies for his daughter. THIN MINTS FOR THE WIN.
Jonathan England AASP101 Expecting an A NobodyKnows 01/28/2009	Like everyone else has said, he's a very good teacher. AASP101 in general will be any easy A for you, but beyond that he really gives you an interest for politics and afroamerican studies if you are just entering the field as a freshman or sophomore. He encourages you to think about things from a wider perspective. You will never be bored in class. I also had him for an online course that was really interesting. Though more demanding. Still got an A though. Definitely take him!
Jonathan England AASP101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/04/2008	Great teacher. I had the chance to take this class during the 2008 election cycle, which led to some great discussions. Really knows what hes talking about and provides a lot of information on the policy process and some key issues. I would definitely take another class by him.
Jonathan England AASP498W Expecting an A Anonymous 05/24/2008	He was an excellent professor. Really took the time to talk to students when they needed his help. Would highly recomend taking his class.
