Comment:

Lots of lectures, although I am fine with that, his power points he posts have no words except key words. So, if you want to go back and recap a battle he talked about there is no way of seeing what it's about unless you take very detailed notes every class. He also has random loud out bursts in class. If you don't want yelling at 9:45 don't do it

Comment:

Professor Craft is honestly one of my favorite professors. He lectures everyday, but he makes it so entertaining with his random outburst. You have 3 books to read and quizzes on each with a 1500 word book review on one of them due at the end of the semester. Only three tests with a non-cumulative final. If you love history, you'll love this class.

You should have no trouble with this professor. He is funny and gives good lectures. It is not boring, and you will actually learn. It is a little bit hard, but not too hard. Bonus is that this prof rally knows his stuff.

Comment:

This dude makes history awesome, and has a passionate zeal at recounting events that have happened during a particular time period. All in all, awesome class. Don't let his use of coarse language fool you, it just adds to the charm of the class. Careful though, he puts no notes on the Powerpoints, and you have to pay close attention to what he says

Doc. Craft is an insanely knowledgable person. His lectures are packed with information, so make sure you take good notes. He gives study guides for all tests and all quizzes. Make sure you read the books and fill out the guides for them. He pulls questions straight off of them. I learned a ton in this class and would gladly take him again.

Comment:

Very passionate for Aviation history. 5 multiple choice quizzes from a book. Questions based off study guides he provides! Tests are easy if you study hard. 2 multiple choice exams (50 questions each). Notes are ridiculous however. I had a total of 50 pages for the first exam and 37 pages for the Final. Overall I recommend him for this course.

Comment:

exams are tough because they are all essay written and if you do not know the material or don't make sense then you will fail like I did. The class requires 3 books you have to read, take a quiz on and write a term paper on so YES YOU HAVE TO READ ALL 3 BOOKS. He talks very very fast and loud. He gets carried away but its funny.

Fact: This guy loves history - his lectures are intense and passionate and makes the class interesting and fun to attend. He gives quizzes (multiple choice) based on reading from the textbook, no homework, and two exams (50 question, multiple choice). Make sure you know the term and definition well for exams/definitions.

Dr. Craft is an amazing professor. He really gets into his lectures, which makes it fun for everyone. Throws in a lot of jokes, so falling asleep is near impossible. You really need to study to get a high grade on his tests. They are difficult, but it's more than worth putting in the work.

This guy has brought new meaning to lecture. He is very passionate and really gets into lecture going so far as to act out parts. He teaches about old things with modern "adult" words which adds to it. read the books and take good notes and all is well.

Took both his military history classes. This guy is the man! Classes are very interesting, although it's all lecture every day. Lectures are great, he is very passionate about the subject and also very knowledgeable. Tests are manageable if you take notes. If you like history, take his classes.

Comment:

I took him for US Military History 1776-1900, and he was fascinating. I like history to begin with, but Dr. Craft manages to make it even more interesting. You'll have books to read and need to study for the tests, but notes are online, his tests are multiple choice, and he goes over everything during the class. Dr. Craft is an amazing teacher!

You don't want to be absent for this guys class. He gives notes the entire class period. He will make you read 3 books. This is one of the classes I thought sounded interested but ended up being a big mistake. Take him if you like writing and studying 10 pages of notes for a test.

Comment:

Craft is always willing to answer questions, but if you're not an auditory learner you probably shouldn't take this class. His notes aren't posted and there is no text book, so if you fall asleep in class you're outta luck when the tests come around.
