Not a very interesting subject, but a very interesting professor. He makes the class fun and is extremely helpful. It is almost impossible to fail this class. If you don't understand something he will throughly help you until you do. Take this class.

Do not buy any of the books. You will never need them. Joel tries his hardest to make the class as easy as possible. I could not tell you one thing that I learned in the class, and I got an A-. Super boring subjects, but the way he teaches makes it interesting. Very energetic and passionate about his job. Easy to listen to. Highly recommend.

Comment:

Joel Lewis is the prof to have for any 100-level History course. He lectured the material down at a student's level (including the occasional use of foul language to prove his point). Joel is also very willing to work with his students and willing to be flexible with assignment and test dates. Excellent Prof!

Comment:

Lectures are entertaining, utilizes technology in a way that makes it interesting. If you have problems, he's easy to get ahold of and helpful. As long as you take notes or know the material, you shouldn't have a problem, but this is the case with pretty much any class. Good class to take, very interesting.

Good Prof with an original lesson plan. Keep his class interesting with multimedia presentations and utilizes the available technological tools better than any professor.

Excellent class! Very interesting and a new take on history from a people's prospective. Don't listen to the bad reviews, if you are even remotely interested in radical politics, take this class. Joel is an extremely helpful and empathatic prof - just wants you to learn the information.

Jesus, I see the Republican idiots have posted their rubbish on here. Just b/c someone doesn't agree with your politics does not make them a bad teacher. What makes a bad teacher is...well go take a class with Schmeican...arrogant jerk.

I was very interested in taking the class, but he didn't cover anything in any great detail. Joel is a very nice guy, just a bad class.
