Wonderful dude. Thoughtful, funny. You have to go to class and do the work, but it's worth it. Class often ends half an hr to an hour early, but he'll stay and chat after. He writes the lecture topics out on the board, no powerpoints. Will sometimes go on tangents. A very energetic aging man.

Comment:

David is a real gem. Very funny, and extremely smart. He starts every day by writing the topic on the board, and then just goes off about it. Very funny, and extremely engaging. He was THE reason I didn't skip my History class. Very easy to study for tests as well, just show up and listen and beware of his "Senior Moments".

Comment:

his exams are topics you have to choose from and write about it. like short essays. he is very tough on them SO READ THE ONLINE BOOK. he talk a lot, i mean A LOT. it was ok but i would not take him again just because it was a 2 hours class and he spent most of the time talking about related topics and not the actual topic.

David is a tough essay grader in my opinion but he is a great professor. He is very straight to the point on assignments and you will do well as long as you try & you're through. David is a professor who really knows what he's talking about and I can respect him for that. I'd take his class again. Make sure you study for the final exam!

Yes, I can tell that he does care about History. But though that is true, I did not find his lectures to be interesting. He's a nice guy but I did not enjoy this class.

A great teacher! The lectures are little boring but you can tell he is really passionate about history. Class is is super easy. Just take notes and you'll do great on test. I didn't even use the textbook once in the class and still 4.0 the class. It is super easy to do well in his class.

He's nice and willing to help students. Although I like history, I thought the lectures were somewhat slow-paced and not all that engaging. His tests are all essays and pretty through, but not difficult to prepare for. Just read the book, which is free. I overall enjoyed his class and would recommend others take this subject with him.

David Guard is a real gem. He is an amazing professor, who genuinely cares for his students. We had a total of 4 essays and no tests. The final exam was impossible but has little weight on your final grade. Overall, he is a treat and a great professor overall.

He is very energetic and funny. A great professor, he definitively knows his stuff. For this class it will be 3 testes that you will know everything if you just read the books and watch some youtube videos. Plus you will write a paper which isn't hard. Have fun in his class.

Comment:

Mr. Guard is cool, he talks off the top of his head for a little over an hour usually and lets out early almost every time. There are three essay tests over the reading, one departmental final which is all multiple choice, and an essay which is a cake walk. He is tough on tests, often noting that more details from the book are needed. Would recomnd

Comment:

Professor Guard was very disconnected from my online class. Somehow I passed with an A but he would mark me down on some discussion boards and essays but never provided a rubric or guidelines to follow. If you want short sentences and are going to mark me down for long sentence structure you should provide a rubric so students know this in advance.

Very interesting & intelligent professor who is very passionate about history. He sits infront of the class and lectures off the top of his head in great depth. Always let out 30+ minutes early. 3 tests and one paper. Need to read about 200+ pages of the textbook before each test. Tests are 8 questions & a essay, all over his lecture or the reading

Comment:

David is overall a nice guy, but he is just all over the place. I didn't find anything that he spoke about in his lectures, to actually reflect on his exams. The book will be your best friend in this class, due to his lectures not reflecting any of the material I needed on the exam. Also be ready to talk about "Hillary".

This class is made up of 4 test and a paper, if you are not good at test taking and need other grades to balance out your overall grade i do not recommend David. He is a great guy, just not my kind of learning style!

Mr. Guard it's the bomb! I would definitely recommend him. He sure know his stuff. A tough grader but you will get by. I took this class online, which I recommend as well. He is not too picky about weekly discussions, but expect to write some essays. Overall, great guy, amazing professor, you won't regret taking this class with him.

Take David Guard. This guy knows how to lecture and keep you entertained while at it. All in all, there are 4 exams and a 5 page paper over the course of the semester so the workload is quite light. As long as you pay attention in class you'll do great. There are readings that he suggests you do, but honestly I've barely even touched my textbook.

David is a great teacher. He likes to help and is very passionate about history. He goes off topic sometimes. I would recommend him, he cares about his students. Can miss some class but read to make up work. Tests aren't hard but all essay questions, you can use common sense for most questions.

David is one of the best teachers I've had so far. He writes what you're going to discuss in class on the board, which is helpful. He has such a passion for what he does and makes history come alive through his lectures! I would definitely recommended him!
