I LOVED his class!! At times its hard to stay awake, but he explains everything well and likes to get the students involved. His exams aren't too bad, but you have to put in tons of detail. (Hot garbage... LOL)

Very hard on tests....Don't be late he will cry like a little B$#@#. If your a girl just because he flirts a lot doesn't mean he will pass you with a decent grade.

Taking this class can change your life. Dr. Merriwether was in the Peace Corps and does this job because he cares about the subject. I respect and admire him greatly.

Prof. Meriwether really knew his stuff and did a great job making you think. He was really fair in class and when we discussed things, but pressed you to think more deeply about the topic. I loved his class and would definitely take another one.

You must do the reading in his classes. He is a weird funny-looking man. Argue with him because he thinks he's always right.

Comment:

Good professor & a really interesting & knowledge-filled class. He is enthusiastic & makes you think. Lecture & discussion...papers & midterm & final exams. He expects a lot. You must read & study for exams. The exams are hard b/c they cover so much material. Study hard, read all & you'll do fine.

Comment:

Talk about a guiy who knows his stuff. And a word of advice: don't argue, you'll lose AND ****him off. The class was great overall and the only thing I didn't like was the comments he made on the midterm, we don't have time to write every piece of information down.

He is a very animated person. His lectures are very interesting, partly because he makes history come alive. I hated history before this class, but now...it's not so bad. The tests are hard, but if you study, you should be fine.

Dr. Meriwether is a wonderful professor. He is passionate about his subject and his job. He opened my eyes to new ideas and demanded our best efforts. Though his classes are not easy, they are not difficult if you keep an open mind and pay attention.
