Comment:

This class was just Ok. I thought it would be easy, but all tests are essays. Must have an outstanding grasp of the material in order to get an A in this class. Very knowledgeable professor, but not a lot of room for extra points.

He is a REALLY GREAT TEACHER! He is always available to his students, and as long as you show up and read the assignments you'll do great.

worst hisotry class i have ever had. do not take!! i am enjoy history and this class was awful--- extremely boring and his grading system is unfair. I am a A student and he gave me a C and when u ask him for help-- he doesnt offer much... take someone else if u can.. and he doesnt teach in the sprgin so u cant sell ur books back. Stay Away!

Comment:

Boring lectures, has class organized to the minute. I got a B in his class with minimal effort. It is not necessary to buy the books if you can muster the energy to stay awake and take some notes. Three Essays determined grade for semester, an easy boring 3 units of upper history.

This guy was boring. You learn quick that class is extremely boring. I went to class once in about two months, no joke, and i got a B. Just go to the days he gives out study guides and youll be fine. Go to class and find new ways to sleep sitting up!

Comment:

he's a little odd, sure, but his unique lecture style kept me entertained/interested. european history is an hard subject. i love history; for me the class was an easy B. others may struggle if they dont enjoy history. two midterms worth 50%, and a final worth 50%. all essay. he's a fair grader.

Wonderful teacher, great knowledge about the stuff he teaches. A lot of information and all in concise form one following the other. Not necessary to read the book and the essays come directly from the study sheets for the 2 midterms and 1 final.

Great teacher. He really knows his stuff. He tries to make class interesting, so what you get out of it is what you put into it. I learned alot from him. Go to class and/or do the reading and you won't have a problem. No papers, just 2 midterms and the final. He tests from the study guides-use them.

Good for 408, not so good for WWII. Lectures are interesting but sometimes jumbled and repetitive. But he knows his stuff. Tests are easy if you do the study guide

Heyman is awesome for Hist 407, and only mediocre for the WWII class - take Flynn if you have a choice. Use the books only for midterm review, no other reading is necessary.

One of the greatest professors in the History department. If you enjoy history, his classes are cake. Either do reading or go to class and you're set.
