Comment:

Took him 2x in1997 & sux. Spent 1/2 semester trying to decide if atheist or agnostic, not class material. Wrote down what students said for a book he was writing. Breath smells so don't sit across from him. Insists on outdate books and material for class. Narrow minded. Never understand what he means. Required course for me, couldn't drop.

I had a class with Dr. Wagner almost 20 years ago and remember it fondly. He enjoyed learning just as much, or more so, than the students.

Comment:

Wagner is a piece of garbage. He is too old for teaching. IfYou dont agree with his ways, he puts you down. He told me and two others we did not deserve to take a quiz even though he had given us the option 2 weeks before.

Comment:

While Wagner's methods may not be conventional he does know his stuff. It may be a hard class to take, much harder than the 100 level that it is listed as, but you get from it what you put in it. He offers a different way of thinking that few teachers h

I dropped the class, luckily I found out I didnt need it. His lecture made no sense what so ever. I thought we were in physics class, and not History.

Comment:

We spent the first 3 weeks of class on OUTLINEING and even then we couldn't do it to his specifications. So he had us try another one but he wanted it different! We spent the rest of the semester on that one!

Comment:

Decided to discuss geometry in a history class and had the gall to yell at the class, "You people just aren't thinking!" Also, he becomes visibly frustrated when no one gives him the answer he is looking for.

Comment:

This man is the devil incarnate, I took a 100 level class he treated like a 400 level class, he made a seemingly intriguing subject boring to the point of tears, I will never take another history class again because of him
