Professor Amerman is reasonable and understanding. Hardly ever assigned homework, just assigned readings. Never had pop quizzes, but easy exams every two weeks.

Comment:
First off, he barely teaches. When taking this course, the textbook is teaching you (readings). He thinks he's funny and he's not. He literally would not talk about history for almost the whole class period. He tends to ask the class 3rd grade type of questions. His slides are extremely unorganized. He has the penmanship of a three year old.

Professor Amerman is great! He is very organized with his notes and material which makes it easier to follow along as a student. His lectures are repiticious which makes it easier to remember material for the exams. I advise that any students taking his class live by his class study guide for exam material. Overall, the exams are pretty simple.

Professor Amerman was an amazing professor! He would have lectures followed by a powerpoint everyday which may seem boring but he worked through them and made it easy to take notes on. His tests are based off the lectures as well as some textbook reading here and then but they're all multiple choice and very easy. Just have to show up to class!

This class may seem rough because of a 25 page research paper, but he helps you through it and makes it alot of fun. I also went through some issues while taking this class, and he let me submit my work and pass the class while only attending a few times. He is a great professor and I would absolutely recommend that you take this class with him!

tests are based off of his lectures and the readings, if you dont go to class but you read the material you will pass. if your in his lecture class, there are 4 tests that are open book and online, he also gives a study guide in the beginning of the semester telling exactly what to read and revises it before tests. good lecturer , little boring

Comment:
I was in one of his lecture hall classes. The tests were online and open book. This made the tests easy. He covered the readings in class so all I had to do was pay attention in class and I would do fine on the tests. I recommend doing the readings if you are in one of the normal sized classes because he calls on people at random so be prepared.

All of the material that is on the class guide/ syllabus is exactly what will come on the test. Do it for homework, and he will also give you a lecture on it. There's only one paper for the semester so you should be fine as long as you read and go to class.

Most of the class is taught with lectures aided by powerpoints. He is very good at making it interesting and relateable. Try to participate. No points taken off if you can't be in class due to illness, just tell him. Overall really great class. There are assigned readings but I was unable to get the book and did fine in the class without it.

Comment:
One of the worst classes I have ever taken. You have to buy like 3 different books, not even including all of the other online reading. There is an assignment due every class, many of which involve quite a bit of reading/writing and it's a 2 day a week class. He calls on people at random too. Avoid at all costs if you are not a history major.

Amazing professor. If you have the chance to take him, do so. He cares so much about his students and goes over things in great detail. He does call on you randomly though so you need to keep up with homework. Such an easy A. 4 exams, all multiple choice, one essay.

Professor Amerman is a great professor! His lectures are very clear and thorough. There are 4 exams and 1 short paper. The exams are all multiple choice and the questions are based on his lectures and the reading assignments he assigns for homework so make sure you read them and show up to class to take notes. He really tries to make sure students understand the material and do well in his class so don't be afraid to come to him for help if you're ever confused. He's a cool guy so take him if you have the chance!

its literally impossible not to do well. 4 exams all multiple choice, on exams he literally gives you like 2 answers by saying "hint pick this one" next to it. The class is boring, hes kinda corny but means well. If you can last through the boredom then take him. Gives you a plan for how to pass whole course and tells everything u need to know

Professor Amerman is incredible and such an easy A. He really wants his students to pass and enjoy the class. He is extremely passionate about history and tries to be as interesting and interactive as possible with the class. He isn't one of those professors who doesn't care about his students, he truly is a great professor

Professor Amerman was the only professor that I've actually given a gift to at the end of the semester. Show up to class because your attendance is always being marked, and listen to his lectures, which he makes interesting. Took his early class instead of a later class with a different professor, and I didn't regret it for a minute.

Dr. Amerman is a great professor! He gives outlines for the exams. Be prepared to buy the book and do the readings. If you come to class, participate and hand things in on time, you will pass. He cares about his students on a personal level and is always willing to give extra help to those who need it.

His teaching style is just amazing! DO: take notes, read and know the material, he goes over the material and makes it interesting and inspirational. He describes history and one lives it! Exam outlines are given. Be in class cause any main event happening will be covered, so it'll be in the exams (i.e. Boston Bombing). Exams are straight forward!
