Comment:
I had professor James for History from 1865. His notes are very clear and although he assigns at least one essay a week, they are very doable. Overall, I would recommend him as a professor. Easy grader and very understanding!

He's a nice guy who knows his stuff. It's not too hard, and you'll learn a lot. Not much textbook use, but be prepared to read some articles. Pretty easy grader, but he won't pass just anyone. Worth taking the class.

I took Mod. Brit and US His to 1865 with him. The Easiest Classes ever. He is awesome. Do the work he assigns and just add your personal opinion to it to act like your are interested, and he loves it. If you bother to listen and do the reading you will actually learn a lot.

US History to 1865 - He's a very fair grader (a bit on the easy side, but I'm not complaining), and he's funny and interesting in class. I feel bad for him sometimes because it doesn't always go over well at 8am. You can tell he's very passionate about his field of study. You'll learn plenty just by showing up.

Comment:
His class is very boring. He also assigns tedious useless papers that have nothing to do with his class and sometimes, instead of handing back papers with grades, he writes "N/A" and you have to write it all over again. I would rather just get a bad grade. His class is easy but you will learn nothing. I took his US History to 1865 class.

A wonderful man, only a midterm, final, and papers...but the papers are pointless and time-consuming. Take BEFORE 1865 if you want less paper-writing, according to my friend who took that course. It would have been better, also if I didn't have the class in Van Den Berg at 8:30 :(

Nice man, likes to be sarcastic. Easy class but he talks very fast and it's hard to copy down all the notes. He puts the notes on Blackboard for each exam but they do not cover all you need to know.

Anazing man. One of the nicest ppl on the planet; also a fantastic teacher. Fair work load (a few papers, 2 or 3 tests), fair grader. Textbook wasn't needed; he taught it all in class via powerpoint better than a textbook would anyway. Puts powerpoints on blackboard. Novels were great reading too.

You'll get carpal tunnel from the notetaking--he goes insanely fast with the .ppt slides--but aside from that, he rocks. Makes history interesting & understandable. Good sense of humor & book choice. Easy grader w/ papers. Tests=easyish. Approachable. Fun
