awesome teacher, he's hillarious. I was worried about waking up at 7am but i always looked forward to his class. He tells you many things about history you dont know. His lecture on the JFK assasination was AMAZING!. TAKE THIS CLASS and dont worry about it being 7am, he makes it fun.

Comment:

He teaches you the really history. The class is really interesting and because of him I became a history major. Just pay attention to his lectures don't even read the book its pointless. He takes attendence so be in class and he gives reviews for the tests. I highly recomend him for anyone.

Comment:

Prof. Newman knows history, but his parade of jokes marches flat! His lectures are sometimes compelling but he moves so fast that after a while you might just give up (7am class). You get 2 exams and a paper. If you're looking for an easy class,look elsewhere. If you like history,be ready. And if you take this class just because it's open:good luck

Comment:

HE IS NOT EASY AT ALL !! The class is at 7am, so if you are not a morning person, this is not the class for you. He is very lively and you MUST pay attention and take notes. He mostly jokes around, but then gives a really hard mid term and final . If you do all the work and study and take amazing notes, you will be okay

He is not easy! If you do your work you will be fine. If you read the book it will help with the tests. Only 2 tests and a paper no extra credit so you need to do well. He is the funniest prof I have ever had and makes the class hysterical, knows more about the subject then anyone and will tell you all sorts of crazy stuff. Definetly take him

Amazing Prof. Knows and teaches all that weird stuff about history that no one ever talks about. A must for anyone who likes history. Assigned readings but I never opened my book and did well. 2 tests, and one book report on any book in the time period.

Its almost like having Rodney Dangerfield in front of the class. I love this guy. He is very funny and jokes with students in a light-hearted manner. Extremely helpful, very entertaining and very informative. I have absolutely noting bad to say about him. I learned a lot and had a great time doing it. Great teacher.

Here is the deal, either get up early to take Newman at 7am and have to right a 1000 word book report and have a pretty fun class or take Pastor and have to write a 20 page paper with 100 sources. Professor Newman gives great insight onto how to teach history and makes the class fun.

Hands down BEST prof. I've ever had in my 4-year experience. Enthusiastic, entertaining and energetic about the subject. Class was at 7am, but totally worth it & he def. kept us all awake. Very straightforward class. Two tests, with detailed outlines each. One paper, a book review on a book we chose

He is a great prof. He is sooo funny and likes to tell jokes. He keeps the class awake and laughing, he will pick on you, and whatever you do don't be late, he takes 2 lates as an absence and he means it, but other than that he is great. :) Very knowledgeable and hilarious.

What a great class. His knowledge of history is astounding. The history came alive in this class. Even though being there at 7:30 wasn't fun, he made it worth it. Take anything you can with this professor. HE'S GREAT!
