Comment:

Considering I don't really enjoy learning about history, Bussard made it as interesting as possible. You don't really need to read the textbook as long as you go to class. Tests are one essay, and three short-answer paragraphs.

Comment:

He made history seem really interesting, and I don't really enjoy American history. You have to go to class to do well on the tests, the questions all come from lectures. The big book (there's two smaller ones as well) is really just extra material, you don't really need it.

An excellent storyteller. Makes lecture seem like a great way to teach and learn (even if research says otherwise). He is passionate about this subject and it shows.

Wonderful person and professor! He knows so much and makes the content really interesting! He's really funny, too. He would be a very interesting person to talk to outside of class. You need to study for the tests but they are straight forward and there are no questions that weren't covered in class. I would highly recommed this teacher!

He has a unique sense of humor. A fun guy who knows his stuff, and does all he can to get you to know it too. Exams aren't too bad, but go to class on a fairly regular basis or you could get screwed. Very nice man.

A very interesting teacher who knows his stuff. He told you about all the usual stuff, plus the obscure stuff, which helped to understand how everything fit together. A fair grader, but make sure to go to class if you want to do well.

Dr. Bussard was probably the most entertaining prof I had at WWU. This guy makes history come alive.
