Comment:

STAY AWAY!! This whole class is basically just proving to him you listened to the lectures. Example, I wrote a paper on the 3 reasons why Rome fell. I got a 5/80 on the paper. A 5!! When I asked him about it, he said I did not say the 3 reasons he said in his lecture. You have no freedom. Also, he does not help you whatsoever. Horrible professor.

Do not take if possible. Blames the students for his own inability to teach and assign an appropriate course load.

Comment:

Bartlett doesn't seem to realize that he's teaching a 2XXX level class. He assigns a ridiculously unnecessary amount of homework and places the blame of the entire class doing poorly on the tests on the students rather than taking responsibility for it himself. The only good thing is that you don't have to buy a textbook. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

Prof. Bartlett is a very tough teacher, but is fair. This class is not for people taking a full time schedule while also juggling a full time career and other personal goals that consume significant time. Do not skip lectures if you can help it as there is needed info in all of them. Overall, unnecessarily long lectures and large workloads.

Comment:

Professor Bartlett is probably the worst teacher i've ever had. He does NOT help students whatsoever, he has a ton of homework, he expects a TON out of you, he expects you to listen to 8-10 hours of lectures online a week, he is just unrealistic. I always see the best in professors and people in general, but man, Professor Bartlett was just BAD.

Comment:

I took him for an online course and it was painful. He gives 2+ hours of (really dry) lectures a week! Theres no power points to skim through, and there is no study guide for the test. Oh and he uses camera web locked browsers for test. If you just bear through the lectures on time then you'll be ok. But I suggest looking at other professors first.

Comment:

The work is not hard. It is just takes a lot of time. I took his class online because I thought it would be flexible and less work. This is not true. If you listen to just the lectures you will have the answers to most of the test. Also, in the online course you will be required to download software that allows him to watch you. SO NO CHEATING! :(

You have to go to his class. Almost all of his multiple choice questions come from his lecture. The only reason I had to use the book is because he wants you to use it for the essay portion of each test.

The worst professor I have taken by far. He is no help and unless you have no other classes then I would not recommend this class because there is too much work involved for a 1000 level course. Only C I have ever received in college.

You have to buy a $60 iClicker for the class to be counted for attendance. He lectures the whole time, but the lectures are clear and easy to follow. The tests are online, but he uses lockdown browser with the camera, so you do have to study. If you study your lecture notes you will do fine on the test!

Comment:

Professor Bartlett was very lecture heavy, and you really have to pay attention and take notes in class. If you want to do good you have to go to class because there are only 4 tests and they are based on his lectures, but weren't too bad. There were also two online lecture quizzes. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. He gives extra credit opportunities though.

Comment:

This teacher is straight up from the start. Yes, there is a virtual museum posting, quiz over the 2.5 hours of lecture, and crossword over readings every week. Its a content heavy class but just do the work! Tests make up most of your grade but they are multiple choice and essay. If you take detailed notes you will pass! Great for online.

Comment:

The lectures are fantastic for online. The problem is the grading structure. The test is a 60 question multiple choice worth 120 points, and an essay (not essay question) worth 80. The essay is what messes you up. He grades ridiculously hard on the essay. I have a 3.75 GPA as a junior and the highest scored essay I got was a 75.

Comment:

Do not take this online class. I repeat, do NOT take this online class. There is a lot of information on the test, over 4-6 chapters of heavy information. There is an essay along with every test that I never received over a C on. Simply because I left out one piece of information. The test are lockdown browser with webcam and it is AWKWARD.

Comment:

Mr. Bartlett is a great teacher and has amazing lectures. If he doesn't offer you extra then it's extremely difficult to get an A. There are 3 exams 60% multiple choice 40% 3-5 page essay. Their is only 500 points in the whole course and 300 of that comes from the exams. Don't take if you're looking for an A or if you're bad at history.

Worst online class I've ever taken. His test are lockdown browser with webcam that make me extremely nervous because I feel like I'm being watched and its awkward. Lots of material on the test and tough grader. This is a core class and I feel like I'm expected to be a profession historian. Only the test messed up my grade.

I took him online. This course is a LOT. There's a lot with lectures and assignments. He was my favorite of my awful schedule this semester. He was well organized, clear due dates, and easy checklists. He was super caring and understanding when it came to my disabilities and the hell I've been through this semester. He's great.

Comment:

Took as an online course, very long lectures every week to listen to, some more boring than others, his tests are pretty straightforward, the essay were a bit harder and he was definitely picky when grading them (mine were usually 10 pages long and extremely detailed and I got a low 90 on them). Make sure you read the book, it helps immensely!
