Comment:

Skips through power points back and forth its impossible to take notes. very passionate but disorganized, 3 weeks behind schedule. easy midterm, easy final and participate a couple times and you'll get an A. lecture days are beyond boring i caught up on my sleep and he doesnt take attendance so you dont have to show up unless its a test day.

Comment:

Very easy and extremely passionate about history, mostly France. Kinda confusing on what he needs in terms of the syllabus. Often lose track of time which makes the test easy. There's some reading so make sure you participate. Brought my friend into class, did not even notice because he doesn't take attendance. Don't do the book assignment

Comment:

He is a funny man and does make the class more interesting with his humor. Class is very lecture heavy with readings assigned once a week. He has 2 papers based on books that we have to read but is a very easy grader. It says that a textbook is needed but I would not even purchase it because I have yet to open it with 3 weeks left in the semester.

Comment:

Professor Armus definitely makes history interesting. I found him to be very impartial when it came to explaining historical events. We also spent time reading some primary sources which were very interesting, nothing intense. The class is fairly easy as he gives you a study sheet with concepts and events to focus on.

Professor Armus is amazing. He is so passionate about European history, and is basically a genius if you ask him to elaborate. No papers, 3 mandatory books (just discussed in class), and 3 simple tests. As long as you show up and participate you'll do well.

Comment:

Prof. Armus is a great guy, passionate about history. Lectures can be very boring. Gives review sheets for quizzes but you HAVE to read the textbook if you want a good grade. 2 easy papers and final. Unless you are very interested in history, this class can be boring. Overall nice and caring guy, just be prepared to read the textbook to study

Dr. Armus is fantastic. His upper level Post-War Europe class was the first history class I had ever taken at the college level and it was taught in a way where I feel I learned a lot and there was not a tremendous work load. Take him if you can!

Such an amazing professor, he never takes attendance, gives no homework or essays! His quizzes are super easy to cheat off of, & if you happen to be absent the day of a quiz he's very understading & lets you make it up in class. he doesnt referance the textbook in class but it's smart to get to study, oh & he gives out study guides for his quizzes!

You don't have to go to class. He doesn't take attendance. Don't do the book reports ( He doesn't write down who does it) The only thing that is graded is your quiz grades (which is easy to cheat on)

Dr. Armus is one of the best. You can't go wrong with a professor who starts off the class on the Black Death with Monty Python's Holy Grail. He usually used monographs or papers, so no boring textbooks. If he offers a course on any part of French history - take it. His quirky lectures make history come alive.

Really cool guy. Lectures are entertaining and interesting. Lectures alone will not get you an A in the class though, however minimal effort studying the textbook is required to get an A (i however did not put any effort in). He does not use the textbook in class but you need it to study.

Comment:

The whole class was a lecture. He just talked and talked and talked and it was far from intresting. i fell asleep alot because you do no group work or interaction. Homework and quizzes are easy for the most part. Very laid back but yet very corky. The whole semester he didnt know my name. Final was difficult. i loved that he curves quizzes
