Dr. Mannard was an easy professor. His lectures were a tad boring if you arent interested in the topic hes teaching. His jokes are corny. Dont dare eat in his class. Overall, he is a genuine person and in my opinion a great professor.

He really cares about his students. He is super kind and will totally help you if you fall behind. Just study because the class itself is kinda hard.

Comment:

Dr. Mannard was a great professor, very passionate about history and everything he taught. He graded every exam on a 10 point curve, which was extremely helpful if you are not the greatest in history. Make sure you read any documents/novels that he assigns & be ready to participate in book discussions as that is where many extra credit points come.

Comment:

Took for US History. I am awful at history and always was, but I managed to get an A in this class. He gives extra credit opportunities such as attending history related events that take place on campus... TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT! He also has book discussions and document discussions so be ready to participate in them for credit! He is a cheerful man.

Comment:

Dr. Mannard is a great teacher, his lectures are well planned and he gives you a basic outline at the beginning of class. However, you still need to take notes because anything he says can be on the test. Sometimes you will have to memorize timelines or dates. Overall, a great class, learned a lot, and he made history really enjoyable.

Comment:

I genuinely enjoyed Dr. Mannard's class. I enjoyed his teaching style & the way he structures his class. We have three quizzes, one essay and two exams, which are curved. Every week, we do document o book discussions; you get credit for attending the discussions and extra credit for participating. Overall, I recommend Dr. Mannard as a professor.

3 short and easy quizzes, 3 tests (which he often curves), and 1 paper that i'm not even sure he reads. Easy class if you go but you must participate. Dr. Mannard is a nice guy and means well but he can be a little confusing and can go off on tangents. Overall easy A if given some effort

I've had Dr. Mannard for a couple of semesters now and I loved going to class! he's a great teacher, makes the content interesting and is willing to help you if you need it. The books he assigns are very interesting and dont feel like a drag to read them, as well as the papers. He's a cool prof, take him!

This man is one of the most down to earth professors you will ever have. This was unfortunately my last gen. ed. class for my undergraduate degree. And it was a great last class I had that fulfilled my requirements. Going to class is very important and it is really enjoyable. I would take him again in a heartbeat

Comment:

I am not a fan of History, but Dr. Mannard made my required history course very enjoyable. He expected you to read, and to work but had many opportunities to boost your grade. The tests were average, and the paper was easy. The discussions were essential to passing, and all the books were required. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Teaches history with humor and is very interesting. Keeps you apprised of your grade and what you need to work on. Gives points for attending class and even more for participation. Gives interesting projects for extra credit. Cares about the student and hisher understanding of the material. Definitely a great prof. Has a good sense of humor!

If you are bad at history to begin with then don't take this class with Dr. Manard. I haven't learned a thing, he expects you to just know the stuff already
