Comment:

I really enjoyed going to his classes. I found the second semester to be much better than the first. I NEVER BOUGHT A BOOK and I easily made an A from the lecture. Just listen and jot a few notes you will do fine.

Comment:

Daniels is a great professor. He's really into what he teaches and makes classes worth going to with all his stories and just his attitude. His tests aren't easy, so don't get lost in the jokes in his lectures, you will have to study to pass. As long as you put some effort into it you'll do fine, and probably enjoy yourself.

Comment:

A great storyteller; the lectures flowed very smoothly, and there were tons of memorable jokes and quotes. Dr. Daniels a former military guy who now teaches history, so Diplomatic History was right up his alley. He normally only teaches freshman U.S. history survey, and it's a shame he can't do more upper-division classes like this one.

Dr. Daniels is an awesome teacher to take if you don't want Newsom. He lectures as if he was just telling one giant story instead of spitting out facts. I took him last year and I highly recommend incoming freshmen to take him because not is he funny and informative, he's extremely helpful outside of class. He's very willing and enthusiastic.

Over all, I liked his class. He has a sense of humor and keeps you interested. You'll do well in the class if you take good notes. He does give pop quizzes, but if you pay attention in class, it's an easy grade. I'd recommend taking him.

Comment:

Quizzes can catch you off guard sometimes, be sure to look over your notes from the previous class each time before class starts. If you have a laptop, the best thing to do is to bring it and type almost everything he says.. study that before the test and you don't even need to read your chapters in the book to get a high B. AWESOME prof!

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory if you plan on passing his class. Once you get the hang of the way he teaches and writes tests/quizzes, you'll be fine. Take good notes, don't just write what's on the outline. He lectures like he's telling you a story, which makes it much more interesting--and he knows his material very well. not a class for slackers.

Teaches HIST 1301/1302. Classes are kinda eh. But he has a great approach and awesome knowledge of his field. If you catch him after class he is always willing to answer your questions. Quizzes are great grade boosters so go to class. Take notes, pass.

I love his class! Go to class for the quizzes. That's how he takes attendance. You need to read some to do really well on the tests. You can pull a B w/o reading if you have good notes. Multiple choice tests 50< #?'s <100. The second part is more politics which he knows very well and it almost put me to sleep. Great stories and will make you laugh!

If you fail you are a complete dumbass. Ok go to class take the quizzes. They are 32 percent of your grade. stupid people wouldnt come and take them then complain on how they needed a 95 on the final to pass. I came to class everyday, and slacked and still got a B.

This class was hard for me because the lectures were boring sometimes and I had trouble keeping up with taking notes. We had 12 quizzes total and he dropped one or two. Dr. Daniels tries to appear tough but he really does care about the students and LOVES history. His tests are difficult and MUCH studying is required. (keep up with the reading!!)

Very Nice Teacher! His test are a bit difficult until you learn how to study for them. Take good notes and don't just write what he has on the projector. There are occasional lecture quizzes but they are very easy (5questions). Highly recomended! He knows his history and is passionate about it! I'm taking him again next semester

Good teacher. Keeps you interested in lectures. Nut he does not review you for any of his test or finals so you dont know what to study.

He's a great teacher. Lectures keep you interested and helps you understand materials a lot better. Tests are based on his lectures so take good notes. Gives a lot of extra work to pick up your grades. Gives random quizes so attendance is important. Book is useless, I studied from just notes and made a perfect on both his exams
