Comment:

This class was fun and easy. He is an easy grader. There are 2 tests, 1 final, and NO quizzes. Tests consist of IDs and 1 essay question, which he gives you to study beforehand. The IDs come directly from his power points. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY ANY BOOKS FOR THIS CLASS. We NEVER used our books, so don't waste your money. EASY A!!

Great professor wants to get to know his students and always ready to help. Have him look over your final paper to make sure your doing it right he grades that pretty tough.

I had a great time in Professor Del Corso's class. Learned alot, his study guide tells you exactly what will be on the test, essay and all. Only tricky part is the terms but he usually gives a hint on what's going to be on there so not too hard.

This guy rules. His lectures are interesting and his study guides for the test tell you exactly what to study. If you show up for class, take some notes and do your paper you'll do well. Studying for tests isnt too bad, i personally cram 2-3 hours before each one and have gotten A's on them. Best history teacher ive heard of at CNU

Comment:

The ideal history teacher. Only grades are two tests, a paper and the final. Tells you exactly what the tests are on, and is a pretty fair grader. Class can be boring, since all he does is talk, but it's a good idea to go since the notes he gives are usually important. Usually makes topics interesting, and is definitely very knowledgable.

Comment:

overall, he was a good guy. the only thing that annoyed me was you had a list of 10 or 11 terms to study and had to know only 5 of them, but didn't know which 5. I would've at least liked to choose from the list. but he's very helpful, and the term paper wasn't too bad either. in the end, for my second round of this class, I am glad I had him

He is an amazing teacher and I would take him again in a heart beat. He gives a study guide for both of his tests and the test is the study guide, only half the information is used. Amazing and I would recomend anyone take. I hate history and I got an A in the class.

AMAZING teacher, I would take him again in a heart beat, and would recommend anyone take him. The study guide is the test, and he is very clear about everything. If you need help he is more than willing to help you out.

Comment:

definitely interesting to listen to, has lots of off-the-wall factoids to perk up any historical topic. like everyone said before, study guides made tests a breeze, but the 2 5-page papers were pretty crucial. takes attendance, but i seriously enjoyed going to class.

Pretty funny, and really short I remember. He was very monotone though. Sounded kinda like Ben Stien. He was nice though. :-)

Easy enough if you pay attention. The tests are easy as crap. He gives a study guide w/everything you need to know for the test. Making notecards for the vocab helps alot too.

Comment:

He is a tough grader, he also gives you a sheet with exactly the info you need for his exams. We handed in 2 papers also, they were pretty hard. He takes attendence and is a very straight forward guy. There could be easier teachers out there possibly, but Corso isnt that bad.

study guide of everything that will on test but be careful. There's a word bank of 16 words that you have to know specific things about and he only puts like 5 of them on the test so you have to study to pass that section. then there's an in class essay, an out of class essay, and a geogrophy sec.

his class was boring. You show up and all he does is talk at you with no guided notes or anything. Tests were okay... he gave us a study guide with exactly what would be on the test, but the ids were killer. You had to memorize 15+ ids and he picked 5.

This guy knows his history. There's alot of information, but he gives a good review sheet to study for the tests. You will do well on essays if you don't BS and just answer the question. Real nice guy.
