Sometimes content is heavy and hard to follow but he tells it like a story so its pretty entertaining to listen to. I suggest using your computer for notes because theres so much content. As long as you pay attention you will get an A. "Group Assignments" are freebies. Very funny guy, the tests are basically what he said in class. Take him!!

Honestly the best professor I've ever had and hands down my favorite ever. He makes such a boring subject actually interesting. It was also an easy class to take. I highly recommend taking him.

He's a great prof. He gives you eassy topics and the maps before the test. The multiple choice isn't hard as long as you go to class. He likes to hear your opinion and doesn't force his on you.

Probably my favorite professor at wcu. I've taken many classes with him because he presents the material straight forward and prepares you for every exam with essays one week in advance. Take him at least once!!

Professor Sythes was honestly one of the best history teachers I have had in my lifetime. While his class is mostly lecture, he talks, you try to quickly write down what he says, he tells funny stories about him & his history buff friends. He gives you the questions you need to answer on his tests beforehand, and same for quiz's. TAKE HIM!

I hated all history classes before I took this guy. He makes history fun and worth hearing about. Memorize your notes and you'll do fine because he gives you the test questions before hand.
