Mr. Hawkins as a teacher is effective in giving guidance in his teaching while allowing the student to build their own knowledge and confidence in order to participate in the class. His guidance was effective for me as it made my history class engaging and fulfilled my need to help in the learning process by answering questions based on the reading.

His homework includes reading, and his classes pose questions similar to those of the exam. He guides us through discussions allowing us to familiarise ourselves with the exam style while also allowing us to think of how the reading relates to the questions rather than how to place information in bullet points with no real understanding. My favorite take away from his class was the independence he gave me in my own skills of research. I now use his learning techniques in Georgia State University and find that it has helped not only with my ability to relate topics to questions through research but overall, his teaching on how to write essays has deeply changed my level of writing and understanding of essay structure.

When first starting my journey with Mr. Hawkins I found that barely found interest in history as it was a class that did not engage me, his passion, patience and his teaching technique have allowed me to find greater love for the subject as well as build the techniques and skills needed to write and understand essays not only in history but in other subjects as well.
