Comment:

Bigler is the man! Wish I could take him again. He is also credible- the man won national teacher of the year! Be prepared to have a lot of guest lecturers, all teachers who have received accolades as well. LOVED this course. Lectures were interesting, tests weren't difficult. Take him!

Comment:

He is such a GREAT teacher! He is knowledgeable and encouraging to future teachers. He was once the teacher of the year and definitely lives up to it. He does assign some group work, but grades pretty easily. I don't want to miss his class because I like it so much. You should take him if you get the chance.

Take him!!! He is so great. His lectures are clear and extremely encouraging to students who want to be teachers. He brings in other teachers who have made huge differences and they talk to you and answer questions. He is super nice and will talk to you about anything! Definitely a teacher worth getting to know.

Comment:

The class was VERRY easy but also just as interesting. He has a LOT of connections with other teachers who have made a great difference and had them come in and talk to us. I LOVED going to his class everyday because it was more about the amazing difference we will make as teachers instead of just the history of education!

Bigler was an amazing professor. I've never seen a man with so much knowledge and passion for his field before. He makes you want to be passionate about it too. Sometimes class can get a little boring. Take lots of notes. You can use them for the tests. Easy A or B.

This class was a little dry at time, but he is so passionate about what he teaches that it's okay! He knows so much, and really brings his enthusiasm into the classroom. Every class has a movie/tv clip to watch, and topics are generally very interesting.
