Comment:
Took his 20th Century US History. Lots of writing on vague topics that he didn't really clarify. Harsh grader. The workload was excessive, even for a Mudd hum. He had us turn in papers online the day before class so he could assign another 100 pages of reading. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:
I was in his class about 20th Century American History last semester. While it was sometimes interesting, I most of the class was quiet. Lots of times he would talk about things that one wouldn't get unless they had done a very detailed reading. But learn his style. By the end of the class I was getting better grades on books I didn't read.

Great course. Don't take it if you don't like the liberal political viewpoint.

Comment:
Reading journals are in principle lame, but they did get me to do the reading (or at least part of it). Class had only a few small essays and a term paper. I wrote my term paper in a span of 7 hours, but still got A- for the class. Field experience at the end was fun.

Kind of boring, maybe it was just the class topic. Open to suggestions to make the class funner though. Actually got him to hold a class on an AIM chatroom.

Comment:
No respect for time. I have written more for this class than any other class I have ever had (and I'm a senior). He asks more of students than any one professor for one class should ask. I took the class for a requirement and I wish I would have chosen a different class to fill the requiremnt. :(

I had Barron for the CA Experience class. It's a lot of reading, but he's an easy grader on essays.
