You definitely do not want to miss class, as there are assignments during each class period. Mr. Rogers is very passionate about what he teaches. He is extremely accessible and even gives you his personal cell phone number where you can reach him at any time!

Comment:

Gives a short writing assignment every class period, and his grading can be a bit tough. He answers questions and goes in depth about every topic. I've learned so much in his class, and all tests are online (open note, open book). If you pay attention, take notes, and show up to every class you will have no problem succeeding.

I really enjoyed this class online. If not online I think it would have been quite a bit harder. Is very test heavy but if you actually follow the study guides he gives you and read the book you'll be fine.

I loved showing up to Prof. Rogers' class every day. He was funny, he cares about his students, and it really shows how much passion he has for the subject matter. I loved this class so much I signed up to take another class with him next semester. I would recommend him to anyone!

This class is based off of 5 exams and nothing else. You are required to buy the online textbook and if you don't read it and take notes, good luck getting a good grade. There is extra credit offered but it's a 1,000 word essay for only 1 point.

Comment:

Had Professor for History 334, fall 2017. Very professional, but personable at the same time. His expertise is noted, and he is very easy to follow. He grades a little strictly but not badly, and he is approachable both after class and during office hours. I really liked his class, found him both happy and engaged with teaching for the semester.

Comment:

The textbook is a book written by him. The only grades are one exam per unit which are very easy as long as you have read through the book and studied. I'm not fully through the class but I have not received lower than a 95% on any test. He does offer extra credit for taking tests early along with other extra credit for each unit.

Comment:

The text book you use is a book that he wrote himself and its only offered online. There are only 5 exams and he gives you 20 days per unit to learn the material, do extra credit, and take the exam. His text book can tend to me all over the place and unorganized. Otherwise Id say take the class, no way you cant pass.

Good choice for a class you only need credits for. Interesting material. No homework. There was just like 5 exams on each chapter. Exams do have a lot of questions. I would not go into an exam without having at least listened to the online lecturers. Can search textbook for answers but search function does not always work the greatest. Super easy.

Took this online and he is very caring. I love his extra credit opportunities! Do them and you will get an A! It's actually very fun to go to a church/synagogue or temple for each religion as extra credit. Totally new experience.

Comment:

Professor Rogers is such a caring professor. He always makes sure to remind his students when tests are due. He has many extra credit opportunities and encourages students to do them, since an A in his class is a 96% instead of the standard 94%. He gives 2 hrs for the online tests, and no homework. So your grade is based off tests and EC.

Comment:

Dr. Rogers taught a wide variety of students in this class yet was able to present interesting lectures with a great degree of class involvement, thus, motivating the students to want to learn. He was thorough presenting both sides of complex issues. He is the type of professor every student should have. He knows history in great depth.

Comment:

Rick is a great professor. The class has 5 major exams, and that is it. He also wrote the textbook himself, which you truly do not even have to read. If you spotlight search keywords from the questions and google some, the tests are super easy. Also get extra credit for taking exams early!Low maintenance, easy class to take with a heavy course load

Comment:

Loved this comparative religion course. Lots of reading is required along with attending class to write a graded response after every class. However, he makes it very interesting and makes what needs to be done very clear. Wrote the textbook himself so it directly lines up with his lecture. Online tests, can be difficult but easy A if you read!

Comment:

There were five exams total. If you take them early you get extra credit. He wrote his own book so googling the questions will not be helpful, you will have to read the book. He does give additional extra credit opportunities with each religion that is discussed. You definitely have to put in some time and effort if you want to get an A.

Comment:

History 100 class is vary straight forward. There is 5 test and if you take them early then you have a chance to receive extra credit. You need to read his book that he assigns to in order to get the grade you want. I received an A but also worked vary hard for it. There are not many shortcuts while taking this class trust me I tried. Just read!!

he wrote the book. read the 5 chapters, take the 5 tests. Thats it. Thats all you do for the class. take the test earlier than the required date and get extra credit. If you wanna go through a lot of work you can get 1 extra credit point per test by going to a service, of his choosing, for each religion and write a 100 word paper on it.

Comment:

Was way too hard for a 100 level course. Tests took almost 3 hours to complete each and were very difficult. Final grade based solely off of 5 tests. Offered extra credit... then weighted it in the gradebook so they weren't worth as much. Be prepared to work for a good grade.
