Comment:

DO NOT TAKE!!!! soooooo boring and useless. all he does is talk and talk. your grade depends on papers and thats it. they are hard and stupid. his grading is weird as hell. I got a good grade in the class but only cause my roommate is a history major.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE. lectures are boring and he stammers through them. tests are essays written outside of class, so relatively easy, but not worth having to sit through class. Ipods are great for this class and sit in the back. Yells if you don't know the answer and if you get it wrong. Just stay away.

Comment:

Not a bad professor. He does stutter a bit, but you get used to it after a while. No tests, just short essays. Show your papers to him the week before they're due and he'll tell you what you need to fix. Classes were a bit boring, but if you pay attention and take notes, you'll be fine.

Comment:

classes are really hard to sit through and attendance is mandatory. He has you write essays instead of tests so if you are good at that you will be fine. I found it helpful to bring something else to do while in class. He does get angry if you don't participate, but yells at you if you are wrong.

Comment:

if you're a history person you will probably do fine, I am a good student but history is not my strong point...I studied pretty hard and ended up with the only C i've ever gotten in my life. what i never understood was how he graded--gave tests back with a letter on the front of the book and no marks on essays to show where points were deducted

Comment:

He does stutter, but you'll get used to it. He talks, and talks and talks..I didn't bother taking notes. He will tell you exactly what is on the test, just feed the info back to him in the essays. classes are the MOST BORING I'VE EVER TAKEN! (thats not a joke) but overall if you listen you will be fine

Comment:

This class was the worst history class I have taken. Couldn't pay attention becuase he stuttered and mumbled. Very long and boring lectures. Takes attendance. His midterm/final are essay questions and 10 indentifications so good luck. I would say find another teacher if possible.

Your not in high school anymore..This professor expects you to take learning by the horns. He told us what areas he was going to test us on...If you learned them you were golden...I recieved an A.

oh my goodness...John John John where do we begin? He seems like a nice guy but geez....he rambles on and on and on and on...enough to put me to sleep..he teaches history pretty well...but he gets all mad and flustered when the class doesn't know something or hasnt learned it yet. He is quite a funny person though. "uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh...

Comment:

He is terrible! Everyone in my entire class is lost and confused. He go on and on about topics that don't relate to the class. What gets me is he wants us to read 2 books and take notes in class. But non of them relate to one another at all. We took a quiz, ha, 70 questions! And the entire class failed.
