Comment:

Doctor Greenhaw is one of the greatest professors you can ever take at UCF. I have taken practically all of Doctor Greenhaw's classes. I really enjoyed taking his classes and would definitely recommend taking him. He is a caring professor that wants to make sure his students succeed not just in his class but outside of it as well.

Dr. G. is the best of the best. He returned as an adjunct AFTER RETIRING; that says a lot. He is in his 80s so I don't know how long he will be teaching, but take him! Study the worksheets; put effort into the essays; you will pass. Approach his lectures as an opportunity to learn from a once in a lifetime professor and you will be a better person.

ATTENTION ALL HISTORY MAJORS: Take as many classes with Dr. Greenhaw as you can. Lectures are good. Tests come almost exclusively from lectures. Three tests and two book reviews make up the grade, all weighted equally. Enjoy him while he is still teaching.

Fantastic professor. Fill in the blank tests can be difficult, though. He sometimes uses "fun facts" that you wouldn't have taken notes on in his fill-in-the-blank styled tests. His book reviews are easy A's, and his lectures are enjoyable.

Greenhaw is great. You don't need the txtbook. He gives u a study guide before he covers that section of the material, so you'll know what's going to be important for tests. Just listen and take notes. 3 tests, 2 easy book reviews. Wonderful man. Easy and enjoyable class. You'll def learn something.

Dr. Greenhaw is the standard at UCF. Easy classes for history majors. Grading is fair and only 3 exams with 2 book reviews. Exams based on what he says. Still learning from webcourses but has help so you can get emails and announcements. Does not give extra credit the old fashioned way-his is in form of GPA scores and extra quiz inside exam.

Dr. Greenhaw has been teaching at the school for MANY years. He is experienced and won't give you a hard time. His test are pretty direct but throws some curveballs once in a while. Our class consisted of 3 tests (including the Final), all equal in weight and structure, as well as 2 book reviews. Very funny during lectures and a great person too.

Comment:

I've had Greenhaw for three courses now (AMH both semesters and British History), and he's my favorite professor at UCF. My only issue is that he's awful with technology, so don't expect anything on Webcourses, but aside from that he's wonderful. He's nice, funny, easy to talk to, lectures very well, grades fairly, and is just a great person overal

Comment:

Professor Greenhaw is excellent. He is a very tenured professor who knows exactly the best way to run his class. From what I've heard, all of his classes are run the same. Lecture every day except test days, 3-4 tests, a book report kind of project, and that's it. He knows a lot and his pretty funny. Great History professor.

Comment:

Good ol' Greenhaw, such a gentle soul and friendly professor. Even though his History of England to 1485 class was my only class of the day MoWeFri, it was worth it. He grades easy, gave straightforward assignments, and his tests weren't TOO bad.. though they weren't the easiest. The easy writing assignments helped boost my grade.

Comment:

Greenhaw lived up to his legend status. I absolutely loved his history of England to 1485. He covered lots of fun topics like William the Conquerer, Joan of Arc, and the War of the Roses. His tests were not too bad, though memorizing definitions was a pain as always. His assignments were lenient, and his grading was generous. Overall a TOP prof.

Dr. Greenhaw is the best professor in the UCF History Department. He is a legend. Take him for any British history course. You'll get much more than your money's worth. I took his classes over a decade ago and still remember, respect, and admire the man. Sense of humor and depth of knowledge are second-to-none.

Comment:

Old Greenhaw is a legend in the history department. His classes are funny, but sometimes can put you to sleep if he starts to ramble. It's important to pay attention because he will put anything that he's talked about on the exam. I fumbled a few tests into c's because of poor attendance. You write book reviews and get to pick your own books.

Straight forward, lectures, tests and writing assignments. You can do a battle report,12-15 pages, or three book reviews, 3-5 pages a piece. Great guy, pay attention to all the stories he tells, you might think some are just cool anecdotes but they will be on the test.

Dr. Greenhaw is great. He lectures without PowerPoints or notes because he knows the subject material so well. He's full of interesting stories and anecdotes, and it's enjoyable to go to class. He's a fair grader with clear expectations. You'll learn a lot from taking his class, so if you're interested in the subject material, do it!
