Comment:

I was initially nervous taking a course from him considering the scathing reviews on here but was surprised to find that he actually was not that bad. He does have a different sense of humor and you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. Take notes, be respectful, follow his advice, do the work, and you will pass.

Comment:

Extremely hard professor. I have had him several times and it does not get any easier. His quizzes are M/C and are more difficult than the Exams. Exams are completely essay based. Regardless of how much you study and read the assignments it will still be difficult to get a decent grade in this class. Massive amounts of material covered!!

Comment:

He is the worst professor at Wichita State. He insults students, and he makes everything personal. If you write a paper for him it doesn't matter how many sources or experts say something it only matters what his personal opinion is on the issue.

Comment:

Great professor, insanely difficult class. Don't expect to be babied, keep up on notes and reading, pay attention to details. I took the 2 week summer Civil War class, excellent class, like drinking from a fire hose, 15 week class in 9 days. He is interesting and funny, but serious about his subject. You will get out what you put in, I got an A

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HISTORY WITH THIS PROFESSOR! He is very rude, he does not allow recording of his lectures, and expects you to retain INSANE amounts of information. His whole class consists of 4 quizzes and 2 "tests" which are essays over every minor detail about a person or event. He focuses on tiny details that have no importance in history. BAD TEACH

Started off overwhelmed and hated him. Got lenient as year went on but must read the material and study. Does give you opportunities to succeed. Wouldn't suggest if not strongly interested in history, rather difficult.

Comment:

I took this as a 1 month summer class. He expected us to read 5 chapters a week and watch 4+ hours of videos. Then on the M/C part of the quiz he would ask about lil details. The essays were hard. Make sure you know everything about all 50 topics before trying. He gave you 50 topics at the beginning of the week and you had 8 on the test. Don't Take

Comment:

He was an okay teacher. Two pieces of advice: read the key terms in the textbook chapters (it's not really necessary to read the whole chapter) and go to the test study sessions with the SA. Klunder will give you a ridiculous amount of subjects to study (like 50) when there will only be 10 on the test, but the SA narrows it down to about 20.

Comment:

Took Jeff and Jack and Civil War. Will NIVER take another class from him. Condescending, arrogant, rude, boring. Majors on the trivial and overlooks the important issues. Treats everyone like they are junior highers. Very unhelpful. This man should not be a teacher. Obviously does not like students or teaching. NO ONE knows more than he does

Expects his students to be students, and do the needed work. Had heard many negative comments before taking this class, but found him funny and interesting.

Comment:

I graduated high school with a 4.0 unweighted and have always worked hard to get A's. This was the first class I have ever gotten a B in. I studied about 10 hours a week minimum and still got a B. He told everyone on the first day that he didn't give out A's. If you're looking for an easy class DO NOT take this. HORRIBLE professor. He ruined my GPA

Comment:

Klunder seemed like a nice guy and deffinetly says a whole lot of stuff and expects you to take notes while hes talking. No powerpoints or overhead slide, just stupid maps that dont help. His first "bonus" quiz will fool you into thinking that his class will be easy, but once the real quizes start you will be getting out as soon as possible...

Arrogant and egotistical. He is not here to teach, only to try and impress with his ego. Do not take classes and possibly the university can get rid of him.

Isn't helpful at all, goes on about useless stuff in class. He expects you to know everything in the book prior to class. His tests are beyond hard, the questions are pointless; useless stuff to says throughout the class.

Going on about useless stuff in class! Gives us charts and maps that has no help what so ever. His test are hard; questions are about the useless little things. Doesn't go over important events. Don't take his class at all.

Comment:

He is rude and unhelpful. I just needed an extra class, and am pretty good at memorizing dates, names, etc. He expects you to know everything in the book and his notes(which are only verbally given). Be prepared to commit at least 15 hours per week just on this class to get a 'B'. Stay away!
