Take this guy. There are only three assignments. This could be good or bad. But usually it is good, the two tests are not difficult and there is one project.

Comment:

The class is taught via student presentations with the professor interjections. Which can get annoying but super helpful. The students presenting give out notes and the test then comes from those notes. He likes creativity and thought into the presentations, don't make yours boring and study the notes and you will be fine. Easy A.

Comment:

if you're going to take a 3 hour class, his format is the way to do it. the class consists of presentations so it breaks things up and makes it go by faster. he always tries to get us out somewhat early. the presentations aren't hard and he grades easier if you present in the first couple of weeks. i recommend this class.

Students present their projects and pass out printed notes to everyone, and that is how the class is taught. 3 grades is what makes up your final grade. Project, midterm and final.

Comment:

Professor Stefanick is very nice but I did not enjoy his class or his methods at all. He has his students teach the class; every day is a presentation on a subject given by students. Some of these presentations were terrible and while it may not effect my grade, I didn't learn as much as I wanted to. He also grades very hard on the essay exams.

Does not teach the class all semester. Students present their projects and pass out printed notes to everyone, and that is how the class is taught. 3 grades is what makes up your final grade. Project, midterm and final.

Comment:

I recommend him to all my friends. Took AMH 2010 in Summer B this past year and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. His teaching method is unique, having other students present and using those presentations as a baseline for his lectures. A 40 minute presentation sounds intimidating, but he talks for a good portion of it. You'll learn a lot

Comment:

All the other reviews are pretty accurate. He doesn't teach all year, its just student presentation that have to be 30-45 mins. The rubric for the projects is all he goes by, I got a B on mine because I didn't have what the A category listed. Got an A in the class by crushing the exams, easy considering you have all the info, just study a lot!

Comment:

I would definitely recommend everyone take this class over summer B. Very, very easy. He only has three grades but tells you exactly what you need to do to get an A. He is very helpful if you have and questions or concerns. All you have to do is show up to class every day and do what he recommends, which isn't hard, and it should be an easy A.

Comment:

this class sucks. Im an A student and in a class i should be getting an A, im borderline of getting a B or C. There are only 3 grades and he gave me a B on my project when i put extra effort into it. Hated going to class and he "interjects" as he calls it during students presentations which he pretty much lectures through the entire project.

Comment:

I had little interest in history, but I had to take this course. This professor created an interactive classroom where I was happy to see interesting approaches to history I've never heard of before. He provided study questions and reviews as well. Part of the course is interactive with instructor online with required emails and project reviews!

Comment:

Must have been one of the worst classes I have taken. Terrible instructor, if I may call him an instructor, more or less a facilitator in the classroom. The exams are strenuous, with 20+ sets of notes that cover 25 minor details of each topic. There may not be daily assignments but the work is not worth the effort in the end. Don't take this class.

Comment:

Professor Stefanick is a very knowledgeable man. He knows his history. With that said, he is a poor instructor. He is constantly interrupting students during projects, and gives no hints as to what is on the multiple choice part of exams, so you're left memorizing 16 packets of notes. Class couldn't be more boring. I'd look elsewhere for history.

Comment:

The class is really easy since there are only three grades, but at the same time, that can be stressful if you score low on one of them. He requires you to be in class to listen to the group presentations though. If you present early on during the semester, you are wasting your time. He is an interesting man, and really helpful with the project.

Very nice and understanding man. Your grade is 2 tests and a project. You have the choice of working with a partner in the project. No quizzes, no papers, no textbook, nothing but those 3 grades. Without a doubt this is the history class for people who hate history, but even people who like it can enjoy the very relaxed class setting. Great class.
