Comment:

Likable guy, great and entertaining lecturer, but the grading. On tests (which are all essays) it's basically 100% subjective. When you get feedback, it's often short and hard to read. A class I thought I had in the bag gave me a stress level that I didn't need during finals week.

Professor Ferguson is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are full of information, and he focuses on how history has effected our current society. He actually wants his students to learn and succeed in his class. Incredible man.

Professor Ferguson was a really good professor! He is lecture heavy and big on attendance! His lectures were really interesting though. Usually I hate sitting through lectures but he makes them really funny! He also helps you think outside of the box in his lectures. He really helps you understand the topics he's talking about.

Great class overall. Didn't read the textbook once but still passed every quiz! The only homework he gave was reading and the very last final was a take home paper! Loved every second of this class! Super funny and gets you to actually see how history relates to modern society!

History's never been a strong subject of mine. But Prof. Ferguson is an amazing teacher and made it really fun. he's a hilarious man. He has an actual conversation with the class, letting the students participate and learn. If your looking for an entertaining class, this is it.

Really enjoyed this class. My best advice is to take NOTES. And study them. That's pretty much key to passing, along with just showing up consistently and on time. There was always a lively class discussion going on, but it's not a situation where you'd fail if you're shy or don't want to speak in front of the class.

He is my favorite professor thus far! I knew nothing about history when I started this class (it was always boring to me so I never paid attention). He is hilarious and makes the class interesting. I find myself schooling people on history now! BEST TEACHER EVER!

This class was awesome. IF you honestly want a good grade then just follow what he says on the first day of class, take good notes too because that is all he bases the test off of & the quizzes off of the supplemental book. Good luck but you should be able to pull of an A :D

Horrible Professor... He didn't help me at all when I asked for help. I bought the book ut he said he didn't believe in it so we never used it. Final paper is an essay and I don't think he graded mine based on my actualy grade for it. Very upsetting.

Professor Ferguson made a subject I was dreading incredibly interesting! He is huge on class discussion, debate, and essays. He is very opinionated and funny. You will breeze through his class just as long as you pay attention and take a LOT of notes. I took his 5 week accelerated course. It wasn't easy, but I am so glad I did. Great guy,

This class was actually a lot of fun. He is very blunt and to the point. The quizzes are easy and as long as you take good notes you will do great in the class. He is a stickler about being late but offers extra credit to those who show up. He made this class very enjoyable.

He's a wonderful professor. He makes learning history enjoyable and puts everything in simpler terms. He is very serious but if he knows that you pay attention and care about your grade, he is extremely helpful. My favorite professor so far.

Great professor, and hilarious. He gives everything straight forward, and is very clear in what he wants. Awesome time in class, and not too difficult to pass if you do the reading.

He was awesome! Funny. Just pay attention and you'll do well. There are weekly quizzes, but you grade them in class, and if you think your answer is right, all you have to do is argue why and you get it right! He sets up his quizzes so you can receive at LEAST a 100. Possible extra credit on every one. The final is a take home essay. Easy!

Easy! Interesting. You have to be really closed minded to not do well in his class. He's a great teacher. He has so far been my favorite professor. Highly recommended.

Cool professor, very snarky. Snarky in a good way. Weekly quizzes + 4 exams per semester. Extra credit for attending class. Hugely lecture based! Take notes because that is where all the test material comes from!

Very smart, and great teacher. The only students who don't like him are those who give no effort and try to bull their way through. If you're narrow minded, unless you are willing to learn, best you take someone else

He was a great teacher! I learned a lot from his class. I went in dreading the class. I hate history. On the second day, he had my interest! I actually wanted to go to class. I recommend him! I enjoyed his class even though I hate history. Just remember to argue against his weekly quizzes. It'll make life easier.

I learned so much in his class, he stated the boundaries at the first of the semester and they were very clear. He's not an easy professor, he makes you work for an A, you have to show up to class and be on time, He's also hilarious, I would recommend his class to anyone!
