Very smart man! But you have to be on it during the lectures because you will write your had off for the whole time. He covers a lot of material so if you fall asleep you may miss the entire French Revolution! Fair tests though!

I enjoyed his lecture hall class. His explanations were clear, and he taught with humor and used powerpoint. you get 2 midterms, 2 papers, and 1 final. His TAs can't teach though. I would recommend him.

Comment:

This class is not one I recommend to anyone. The lecture consisted of 200 students and it was very hard to concentrate. The lectures went by quickly but it’s because the topics discussed had no connection to each other (so it only gave the allusio

The large classes are bad and the TA's are crap. Except for the one I had who wasn't all that bad because he actually spoke the language and was from this country(nice guy too) they all looked like refugees from a bad night club. Tip should buy a new coat

The large class is terrible, it is incredibly borning and unhelpful. The TAs are the worst part. My TA made me want to go to a Japanese School and teach a class in Eastern History. Tip should get a new coat...

Lecture classes are crap, talks about completely unrelated topics. TA's suck. Uninformative...leaves you wondering what the hell you should study?? More like an English Class on speed...if you like crappy novels take this class.

If you are in a big class- don't take it. His TAs are crap and tend to hold english as a first language.

his class is on the boring side. but his exams were very easy. when I was in the class, you only had to write 5 out of 8 one page reaction papers. if you did all 8, he took the top 5 as grades. overall, not bad.

I love tip. He's extremely liberal, but that doesn't come off in class all that often. He's not always extremely engaging, but it's not a bad class overall.
