Comment:

Dr. Hines was an exceptional teacher. He pushed me to look beyond and challenged me on my assumptions. He was also able to shed light on a whole areas of history that I overlooked. He was also available for questions and gave great advice.

Comment:

Attended this class in 2013. He makes the content easy to understand and very interesting-I found myself wanting to know more! Book use is quite minimal and if you attend and truly pay attention to the lectures getting the grade will come natural because you probably actually learned something while you were there!!

I took the online course f/him.When he DID get back to me or other students, it took awhile.He never engaged in the course.Felt I was taking the course on my own.I don't care how easy he was, I'll never take another class f/him. Easy does not mean good.I learned little.

Comment:

Hands down, the best history teacher I've ever had! His lectures are interesting, funny, and simple. All of his exams are on material discussed during his lectures. I didn't use the book much, but it helps on the final paper and if you don't go to class you can read the book (but you should GO TO CLASS). He's great!

Comment:

Professor Hines was a very interesting professor, probably my favorite thus far. He makes the lectures interesting, telling anecdotes and such to liven up the class. You might even see him around Pullman at Safeway of Walmart. Good teacher, glad I got to take a class with him.

He really loves history and you can tell! He really knows the subject and he makes it interesting. We barely had any homework, the exams were essay based so as long as you came to class and took notes you could ace the exams.

Comment:

Mr. Hines really is the best history teacher at WSU. He made learning fun and interesting. Most classes would open with a story about his 3 sons. Tests were easy because he gave you a study guide and we got to vote off questions we didn't like before the test. There are a couple papers which were graded easy. Tons of extra credit, about 6% worth.

Comment:

Funny, and pretty easy. No homework, and grade is based off of few random assignments, like common reading, and in-class tests, which are so easy! Do the study guide and you will ace them! Lots of extra credit opportunities. Pretty interesting to listen to as well.

Hines is a great professor who really knows what he is teaching. Few tests, and papers, but that is all your grade is based off of. Very helpful and entertaining to listen to-just take notes.

Hines never present for online class. The man simply disappears and chooses not to answer questions. No real format to class. Sadly, I do not recommend.

Comment:

Mine was an online class;I haven't met Dr Hines. He answered questions via online forum too succinctly, and sometimes too late. However, when something BIG came up, Dr. Hines was on the ball and treated me and my situation respectfully and fairly, for which I respect and appreciate him infinitely!

Comment:

Very easy class with little work, so you grade depends on a few papers and tests. The exams and papers are cake, he gives you the answers the class before the test. Your grade can really slip from one poor paper, so spend a good amount of time on them.

Comment:

I sometimes forgot I took this class because it was so easy. Tests are simple but easy to learn from, he reviews all the answers beforehand so just take notes and you'll be fine. Don't buy the book, its a waste. Lectures are a little monotonous but never last the full time. Plus he always starts the day with a story about his kids which is cute :)

Comment:

His test is REALLY easy. The tests are super easy. I've gotten 97 on both of the midterms. If you get over a 95%, you dont have to take the final. Class is really boring you dont need to really go but class is mandatory. SUPER easy exams though.

I had trouble taking notes during his lecture at first but you just have to get used to the way he transitions between topics. Tests are very simple and easy to study for and you just have to put in a little effort for the papers.
