Comment:
Heard he's retiring? As long as you keep up with the readings and take good notes, the class is not difficult. Book quizzes are every few weeks, but he gives you study guides. Questions on tests and book quizzes are copy-pasted from the study guides. He is very good and enthusiastic at teaching the material and I enjoyed his dry humor.

Comment:
I took the Native Peoples of Latin Amer. class. He requires 8 novels which are necessary for quizzes every two weeks. He posts study questions online which if you write answers to and memorize, you will be fine for the quizzes and exams. There is are two exams and one paper which is fairly easy and enjoyable. Brought us candy and food. Great guy.

Comment:
Took him for qualitative methods. It was hard to figure out what he wanted. I'd get an A on one paper, then the next one would be written in the same way and it would get a B. Guidance on assignments was limited to "surprise me." He made comments about how little students, esp from outside the dept, knew. It made class uncomfortable.

Comment:
unless you are a male history major, you might want to think twice about this one. If he ever had a burning desire to impart his love of history to students, it has long since burned to embers. In fact, I have never had a professor tell me I am stupid. He is irritable, impatient, and pompous. I don't recommend his classes.

Comment:
Love this guy. Don't get the George Bush thing at all. And I really liked the readings for his Central American and Mexican history courses, I though most of them were really interesting. His Central Am. history course is really good, he knows his stuff and his lectures are actually interesting to listen to. Not a tricky course, if you go to class and do the readings you'll get an A. Love him.

Great class. Really nice, friendly, funny, and awesome prof. He sounds like George W. but is way smarter. I thought two books were boring or poorly written, but the rest of reading material was fascinating. Lectures are interactive, structured, and interesting, and one time, he brought us all back seashell keychains from Veracrúz. One of my favorite professors.

Dr. Rugeley is preobably the best professor I had at OU. He has a great sense of humour, and his classes are very interesting. In addition, he is very good at explaining everything.
