Comment:

Taggie is the easiest professor. We had 2 tests, a final and a paper the entire semester. I got an A and I barely went to class because he doesn't take attendance. As long as you're there to get the study guides, you'll do fine.

Comment:

he has the appearance that he knows what he is talking about and im sure he once did but he doesnt do any hst work outside of teaching and relies on transparencies from 1972...he cant even pronounce words he is teaching about...he is never there and doesnt put any effort into class...i aced the class so im not just bitter, but hes not terrible

Interesting man.. his 2 favorite topic are his castle he bought last year in europe and "when he was provost" Good class... a bit boring at times, but if you go to class and copy his notes he puts on the board, you will pass

Taggie is an excellent teacher. He really knows his stuff. You learn a lot in his class and it's not too difficult. Plus he's so cute and sweet. He's like a little old grandpa.

Comment:

His notes are key. Take them down during class and you will do fine. If you miss a class, get the notes from someone else - alot is covered in one class. Has a habit of changing transparencies before the class is finished. Overall, he's a nice professor.

Knows his stuff, even if he does teach off of transparencies. Class can drag but if you read and use his study guides you are golden.

Oh, yeah, HOT. Extremely brilliant. Tests are hard only if you don't study. You get what you give. He's more than willing to help if he knows you're trying.

Comment:

Medieval Spanish History---I hate to say was very boring. Tests were hard...all essay, and he looks for specific answers w/broad questions. Study guide is a plus, but study HARD. If you ask for copies of his notes, he will give them. Nice guy/hard class.

Comment:

Long boring lectures. he uses transparencies of notes he takes directly from the book, but he doesnt leave them up long enough to take notes from them. he goes a bit too fast, but his tests "could be" easy if you study enough for them.

Comment:

Hes a nice guy, but lectures are long and soooo boring. It gets really hard to follow, and he rambels on forever. Tests are hard too. You get a study guide, but still end up being very hard

Comment:

He is a very good teacher, though hard to follow at times. He tends to ramble on about certain things, which comes from his love and knowledge of the subject. Overall, if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded nicely with good grades.

Comment:

Medieval History was such a hard class. Tests are essays and identification. But if you beg, he'll give a study guide, and the test is exactly the same as the guide.. so memorize what you look up!
