Comment:
I have never been more bored in any class ever. Doesn't use a computer for lectures he uses pieces of paper that have like two pictures on them and two words then rambles on and on. It doesn't make u wanna learn at all. Only 3 tests, study guides are hard to understand, very motto toned. Good thing is there is a curve so easy A class

Comment:
Bodle is kind of boring, but he knows what he's talking about. There are a couple of papers to write over the course of the semester, but they aren't very hard if you put just a bit of effort into it. The class is mostly long lectures, but paying attention isn't detrimental to passing; you could sit on your computer for the whole class

Dr. Bodle is an extremely enlightened professor who provides information enriched lectures. Dr. B is a great guy if you take the time to connect with him. He gives you a study guide before every exam with everything you need to know. He's the reason I established history as my second major.

Comment:
His Lectures are incoherent. His Grade weighting was Lazy, 4 assignments 25% each. In addition I was carrying a Low "A" At the Midterm, But Received a "C", Trick is though I never Got Grades for my last two assignments, so I have no clue where I went wrong or how to improve. In addition Each Assignment was Insultingly easy. Don't take his class.

I liked him because he's one of those profs you would describe as a great guy. It is very hard to take notes the way he lectures, but you'll still get whats going on. No hw and gives a study guide before every test that helps significantly, also will give out extra credit, which is usually just a few built in question on the test which is nice

I just cant understand his way of teaching, he just talks and talks. He goes on and off topic and your honesty lost in his class. He's not rude he just needs a new way of lecture

Comment:
Lectures are boring and his way of teaching is using old, kind of irrelevant pictures that he printed off the internet. Note taking is nearly impossible, as you have no idea what is relevant or not. His study guides are a list of terms that he may or may not have gone over. If you email him asking a question, he's rude. No due dates, no structure.

Makes you buy textbook that you only use when you're looking up vocab for a test and an autobiography of Ben Franklin that you will never use. Very boring class, monotone voice. Grades are based off of 3 tests which shouldn't be too hard if you study and use his given study guide. Overall, terrible class and wouldn't recommend.

Bodle's History 196 Class is the most painful class I have had so far. He goes off topic, he is monotonous, and frankly I don't know if HE knows what he is saying. If you can schedule another professor PLEASE DO.

I took his Colonial America class, and yes, sometimes he does go a little off topic, but I enjoyed the class overall and he was helpful during office hours. The 196 students need to suck it up.

I loved bodle and he doesnt deserve all of the bad reviews given by people taking 196.. he knows what he is talking about and is the nicest person and is willing to help. yes, his monotone voice makes you zone out but you're in college for a reason... He's a good professor, pulled out an A, which wasnt hard. GO TO CLASS & PAY ATTENTION!

Don't take this class with him. Lectures are literally the most boring thing ever and the stuff he talks about isn't even on the test. The tests are based off of the book readings. He's not helpful, but the class overall is easy if you read the book. The final is a paper.

He's nice and it is obv that he knows his history, but he is very monotone, it's literally a lecture class (there's not much interaction, all you do is take notes on what he is saying), and the exams are the study guide. If you dont mind just learning the study guide (the people on it are in the book) & taking the exam, then he is ok.

The freshmen giving this man bad reviews don't know a good professor when he's in front of you. He's a good professor and extremely helpful. I go to his office hours whenever I have questions and he'll gladly help. We really don't have exams in this class( a night class) and he does ramble some times but he knows what he's talking about.

Best advice is don't take this class with him. Although his tests are pretty much definition, he rambles on and put me to sleep many times. He wants you to pass, but doesn't help you much if you are failing. Not a great teacher.

Dr Bodle is a great guy, first of all. I took 3 of his classes even though I knew he was difficult. Freshmen taking his 19X classes might find him difficult because he sort of expects students to think for themselves when it comes to history. People knock him, but he really knows what he teaches.

One of the worst professors I have ever had. I walked out of class every single day not having a clue what just happened. He is scatter brained, and doesn't use powerpoint, instead he prints out blurry pictures from google. Thank God he had study guides. Avoid at all costs.

as long as you do the study guide and know everything on it you will get an A in the class. He gives 10-25 bonus points for each test so its hard to fail. He is very monotone and lectures are boring. the final is a paper which I liked. He wants you to pass. Easy class. As long as you do the study guide and know it youll get an A w/o going to class.
