Great class.... Dr. N kept it objective till the last day when he told us which theory seemed the most plausible to him. Would've loved more classes like this.

this is a totally awesome professor. he knows his subject topics and has a clear way of conveying them to the student. I have always been ready for his test. I have took him for more than one course and I will take his future classes. a great teacher with a perfect way of giving the information.

He's totally misunderstood judging by the comments on this site. He is demanding to the general slackers out there, but he's a good teacher and a good guy.

Had him for Mississippi History. Personally, I love the guy. He's hilarious, and very knowledgeable. If you act like a butt towards him when he calls on you, he'll make your life hard.

Comment:

One of the worst "teachers" I've ever had. He doesn't care about you and will openly admit it. He purposefully makes things more difficult than they should be. Make sure you read all the materials and know them better than your own name because he will definitely drill you on them. If you have the option, get out while you can.

Comment:

Took US History since 1945 and loved it. Namorato isn't exactly easy to get along with, but if you show up on time and participate in class, he's sure to like you. Namorato is extremely knowledgeable, so even if you do not like him you're sure to learn a lot.

Comment:

I think having aids would be more fun than taking this class. This guy hates his life and it shows by the way he teaches. Also, Katrina Simms, one of his TA's, is much more rude, angry, and just un pleasent. Don't take this guy ever.

Comment:

Challenging teacher, often comes off as pissed off at "young people who don't know whats going on in the world," But if you put effort into this class you will learn immense amounts of information, most of which seems to be from the correct perspective. Worth your time, but requires much of your time.

He gives you everything you need for the mid-terma and final...including the questions. You just have to pay attention. While he may be a bit bad tempered I enjoyed his class and especially his TA's. The TA's also do all the grading...btw

Comment:

Wouldn't respond to e-mail and vm requests for textbook/material info weeks in advance of class. Found out in class that WSJ was needed, but couldn't get a subscription in time. E-mailed him for support to avoid drop-class fee and he finally e-mails back saying it's not his problem. This guy's not there to teach...just to draw a paycheck. Avoid.

Comment:

He is about as cool as a hangover! He talks to our class like we are complete idiots and is extremely insulting. He totally has favorites and if you are already on his bad side drop the class if you can. He is the meanest teacher I have ever had and I have been here 3 years. Dont state your views if you do not want to be berated or infantilized

Comment:

Terrible professor. He is pro history grad students. If you are an education major taking a history class he will give you an automatic letter drop. Complete jerk. Gave us a oral final just so that he could fail people. I am now a professor and will never be like him.

Comment:

Very arrogant and opinionated; he knows his stuff and seems personally insulted when questions are asked; make sure you follow his assignments precisely--and just regurgitate his information or you will drop a letter grade. This is not a class for differing opinions or creativity

Comment:

He may be popular with the history majors, but among people who take real classes which require critical thinking skills, like math and science, memorization is boring and pointless, and he requires an insane amount of memorization. Boring. Unenlightening. Stodgy.
