Comment:
This class was TOUGH. However, if you stay on top of the home work each week you'll do fine. i got a 76 on the first test and Im doing fine in the class. He does offer 2 chances for 20 extra points so take advantage of that!!

You must memorize between 80 and 100 terms for each exam, where he only will ask for 20. If you submit an assignment on time, but he finds something wrong with the 'format' then he considers it as not being submitted at all (HE WILL NOT LET YOU KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE, you find out the hard way).

Comment:
Worst professor ever! I had an immediate family member die during the semester and he would NOT grant an extension or try to be understanding when i submitted the assignments. I felt like I was in 7th grade again with map memorization and having to remember over 100 terms for every single exam!!! Hardest course and worst professor known to man!

Comment:
I have felt like I've been in ninth grade all semester. Every week we do a chapter. We write definitions and give an example for the term. We do that and take tests. On the tests we have to place states and capitols. I've really not enjoyed this class at all.

Comment:
I took this class online and was very disappointed. It's near impossible to get full credit on assignments. If you're good at memorization, you will do well. That's all the test consist of. I don't recommend this class and I wish I would have taken it in a classroom setting rather than online.

I had him online (he no longer teaches in person at OUE). He was slow to answer emails. He did not seem like a very enthusiastic professor. I did well in the class, but I will likely avoid taking him again.
