Comment:

Dr. Fuller was by far my favorite teacher my first semester at UIndy. He cared about your grades and was willing to work with you to help you succeed. He also cared about us as people and would ask about sporting events and friended us on Facebook. He clearly loves his job and it shows everyday he teaches it. I never once didn't want to go to class

I am a freshman and I was nervous for my history class, because normally they are boring to me. However, he makes class so much fun and it is easier to listen to the lectures from the way he talks.

I LOVED him. His lectures were so good, you don't have to read much if you listen. You'll definitely not get bored if you're into history. He's very funny and he's still the best professor I've had at Uindy so far. His study guides are very helpful too! I'd have gotten a better grade if I put in more effort but I was depressed af that semester lol

Comment:

I took this class in the summer and we only had to write 4 papers. No EXAMS NO QUIZES. This is actually the only thing that made me choose to take it with this professor. I would really recommend to take a history class in the summer. But he's sometimes a tough grader.

Comment:

This professor is LIT!! I do not like history at all! Dreaded the requirement. It's only been 4 classes into my summer course and he is the best history teacher I ever had! He is very animated and it's almost like watching a movie instead of listening to a boring lecture. Very happy with this professor, worried about the papers, but so far so good

Dr. Fuller is a great professor! I highly recommend taking him for history. He makes history class not boring and he is very flexible with tests/papers, all you have to do is ask. He loves when you participate and that helps your grade in the end! Would definitely take him again.

Omg if you have a chance to take Dr Fuller, do it! His lectures will keep you interested in the class all semester long. If you listen well enough, you don't even have to study really hard to pass the tests. He was so nice and understanding., he changed our test dates all the time because people have other tests. You will love him!

Comment:

I normally get easily bored by history, but Professor Fuller brings history alive with his lectures. He is very knowledgable and cares about every student he has. He will go out of his way to talk to each student multiple times throughout the semester. There were no tests, but lots of books to read and write papers about.

Had him for my Spring Term class over film and the Civil War which was for 3 weeks, 3 hours every day. Great guy, really funny and had a lot of good points. Only work was a paper due over films watched every week and the theme in the films.

His breadth of knowledge is amazing. He is probably one of the most well rounded professors that I will ever take. He expects a lot but gives you all you need to succeed. Take him if possible, you will not regret it.

Dr. Fuller made history come alive. He would read use stories of non-famous people to give context to what we are learning about. Context is key to understanding the past.

Studied Amer. Revolution under Fuller. Awesome teacher! Used a book I was able to get from library instead of a textbook-hooray! Fuller knows his stuff! Lectures are fascinating. He walks in to class, starts lecturing, and doesn't stop until class is over. Classes are almost 4 hours long but time flies!I would take ANY class under him.

I had Fuller for History Since 1700 and I really enjoyed the class. You right a lot of papers in the class and have to exams. If you are on his good side it is a great class but if he doesn't like you he makes it known.

I wasn't interested in World History but Fuller really made it interesting. You can tell he wants you to succeed but he wants you to work for it too. Great professor.
