Comment:
There was only 3 multiple choicefill in the blank tests and 3 essays. even if youve read the chapters, youll still be unsatisfied with results for the tests. His expectations for essays are very high, be sure you understand the essay questions. Class lectures consist of him talking the entire class and it doesnt coincide with chapters assigned.

Very smart guy and overall a nice guy. Doesn't use visual aids ever, just lectures the whole time making it impossible to stay focused. Essays and quizzes are very specific and he's a tough grader. Be prepared to teach yourself all of the course information. NOT an easy, put in a basic effort kind of class.. take any other teacher if possible.

I took five classes this past semester. I got an A in all of my classes except this one. I am usually a very good student but this professor is tough. He will help a lot for the essays if you go in and ask but if you don't you will fail. His quizzes are 30% of grade and require a TON of reading and he only has 10 questions for 200 pgs of reading.

Incredibly boring and tough grader. Has very specific requirements for his essays. Will lecture all class long. He is very into history but can't make it interesting for the students. I would recommend to either take someone else's class or just wait.

DO NOT take this professor! He does not believe in visual aids so all he does every single class period is just lecture. THE most boring teacher I have ever had. You can trust me i usually don't like saying anything bad about a person but i felt obligated to help you guys out. also i tried my hardest on an essay and he gave me 530 thanks dude.

Super boring.. I fell asleep in every single class. Lectures are irrelevant to the text. Quizzes are not relevant to the text. Very strict on grading essays. Just a horrible professor overall. Unless you are an expert in reading and writing, I advise you to not take his classes.

This guy is super boring you can honestly miss every lecture in the class and only attend the days that there is a quiz or a writing assignment is due and receive at least a c. I went to sleep in his class constantly and he didn't care. Just a very boring teacher

Do NOT take this class!!! He is a nice man if you show that you are trying. His quizzes are confusing and have ridicules expectations that no one can pass. This class requires writting essays that have very strict requirements. His lectures are NOT on the text, but all the testing is. This class has LOTS of reading!! 5 textbooks. Worst class ever!

I seriously recommend that you do not take this class. Nothing he talks about is relevant or helpful for your assignments. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

This class has a lot of reading. He uses like 10 text books, but barely lectures on any of the reading. The lectures have nothing to do with the tests or the essays. Technology is a big NO NO,the only technology that is of use is his microphone.... Tough grader but nice person. Always offers office hours (which will be needed).

I wasted an entire semester thinking this class was going to be interesting. I should have listened to the reviews here. He was a horrible teacher. Doesn't believe in technology. Unclear lectures. Makes you feel like an idiot on your essays. Honestly, do NOT take his class unless you need to.

He is a really great guy with a great heart. unfortunately his teachings don't reflect this. You will be required to write papers on material not discussed in class, as well as the quizzes and tests. He is a very tough when it comes to grading. If you want a challenging class, take it. He truly is a great guy though!

Guy is super boring, speaks in a monotone voice which doesn't help since the assignments require you to reflect very heavily on the material. if you are allergic to higher order thinking (answers wont be from a book) and working insanely hard to pass then McLeod is up your alley. plus textbooks are a rip

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HIM! HE IS POSSIBLY THE WORST TEACHER AT MESA AND MAKES US HISTORY SEEM LIKE THE MOST BORING CLASS. I noticed that his lectures were always behind the actual reading for the class. If you are not a history major, I would strongly advise to not take his class. worst hour and half wasted with a barely passing grade.

Honestly, he's a happily married older gentleman who has a passion for history. He has a good heart and is willing to help outside of class. You have to be extremely smart in order to pass this class. The lectures are boring and he's a tough grader. I don't think people should be so hard on him. He really is a nice guy he just has a very hard class
