Dr. Slaven is an awesome dude. Show up do what he asks and its an easy A. I never opened my textbook. Taking this as a night class when available is also preferable.

Comment:
I'll be honest. I hate history; it has always been one of my worst subjects and I was terrified to take this class. However, Dr. Slaven is very kind. I met with him before every test to go over my notes to make sure I didn't miss anything and he was extremely helpful. He wants you to do well.

Slaven is super attractive! His class is easy. Somewhat boring and hard to pay attention but it is easy enough. Study for the tests and you'll be fine! He's easy to get along with and he cracks jokes.

Comment:
Slaven is a good guy and very intelligent, but can be tough. If you only write down what he puts on the board you will be lost later. Multiple choice's are very long. Take the essay instead, you will be able to read them over ahead of time. If you are used to earning points through small assignments and hw, don't bother, its all from the exams.

Comment:
Took him twice for HIS 103 & 106. Got A's in both and will be taking him again. You need to know his system to do well- get the online quizzes done early (come directly from the book) and take the essay tests if you want to know exactly what to expect. Lectures are useless. Just do what you need to.

Comment:
I had Dr. Slaven in his second semester at Cal. I thought he was a decent teacher. His tests were kind of hard, but class was enjoyable. He does have a bit of an odd sense of humor, but then again his background is in History and Art. I'm surprised by so many negative comments. Maybe he has changed over the years.

Comment:
Dr. Slaven was a great professor. His lectures were interesting and his tests were not bad at all. The multiple choice was pretty lengthy but if you do his study guide you will be prepared. He gives the essays ahead of time if you choose to do his essay test. I would recommend taking Dr. Slaven and will take him again in the future.

Slaven is a great guy, don't get me wrong, but he is completely lazy. The class is Western Civ since 1500 but he teaches it from a completely French point of view. Study for his tests, he included a vast load of minute detail questions that are NEVER mentioned in the lecture.

Great professor! I had to take the class to graduate as a Critical Thinking requirement and I really, really did not want to take it but it was a lot of fun. Really knows his stuff and he's funny.

Comment:
He is not a good professor. He is very disorganized and his tests are not based on anything he teaches in class and they're hard. He also never shows up to class and when he does he's about 15 minutes late. Don't waste your money on his classes.

He's just not a good professor. Very disorganized, never returns things on time. Tests aren't all that easy, based on a lot of small details, but he'll give joke quizes and stuff to boost grades. Canceled class at least 10 times during the semester, so that's the best part about it. Ok guy, awful professor

Comment:
Dr. Slaven is a great professor if you do well in lecture-style classes. If you do not, you may wish to consider someone else. He is fun and drops in some interesting and fun facts about history as he teaches. Tests are simple if you pay attention and study from the guides. TAKE GOOD NOTES!!!
