Comment:

An amazing guy that is as passionate about teaching and the subject than a first-time teacher fresh out of college. Loves his subject, his profession, and that same energy rubs off on every student he has. In terms of quizzes, the class as a whole gets to choose what subjects are on the quizzes, and that sort of ingenuity makes him one of the best.

Comment:

He tends to go into detail on his lectures and never stops talking, but knows what he is talking about. Takes suggestions for what to put on the study guides for tests, and normally the test is the exact same as the study guide. Third test was considered the final. You can tell that Hasenfus really loves his job!

Great professor. Hasenfus is the GOAT. Only class I enjoy going to. Great way to start the academic day. Lets the class pick what is on the exams. The 3 exams count for 30% each with there being one easy worksheet counting for 10% I highly recommend William Hasenfus to be your next history professor.

I honestly only took this class for a month and then dropped it. He gets off topic way too easy and his handwriting is atrocious. You only learn from what he states and writes on the board and half the time it doesn't make sense. Also super hard to keep organized notes because he teaches all over the place.

Professor Hasenfus is a great teacher. Super easy class, great guy. I don't enjoy history but if you show up and take notes, it's an easy A. 3 test throughout the semester, no other grades. Tests: write definitions of 5 terms and pick one essay to write (the prompts are given before the test). Only negative is his handwriting is super messy.

Great professor! Easy class, you pick what's on the test and only need to know half that. Don't need the book. His writing is horrible to read but he says what he writes. He is very sweet and gets excited about his class lectures. He explains things in way that a child could understand.

One of my favorite professors I've taken. A very cute personality, really passionate about the material which makes it interesting. Highly recommend taking him. He's the best. Tests are easy, just make sure to study. Really can't stress enough how great he actually was. I would take him again in a heartbeat

LOVED him. Cutest professor I've ever had. He is ALWAYS willing to help you. Accepts late work. Gives study guides that are practically the test. He's so interested in the subject it makes listening/watching fun. If you're going to miss class.. he doesnt really care just email him. Overall, super happy I took his class. Easy A and I learned alot

Super nice and passionate about history! If you take good notes, you will do well. 3 tests - and he lets you pick out the terms, with a short essay. A little eccentric but very approachable and friendly. **His handwriting is horrible** - so make sure you follow along with what he is saying. Easy A, especially if you're not into history!

This is one of the easiest classes I've taken here at BSU. Literally show up, take notes, and take one test every month or so. He gives you the study guide to the test & lets you pick the topics discussed in class that you want to see on the test! Don't bother buying the book I never used it. You get one homework assignment & I googled the answers

Easy A. Go to class, take note, don't bother buying the book unless you like to waste money. He gives you the answers for the test the day before. I got a 90 & above on all three exams. Take him for an easy A

Comment:

Such an easy class. He's a really nice guy too even though he rambles a lot. Don't even bother taking his notes b/c his handwriting is terrible. Even if you're on your laptop the whole time, still easy. I know he only teaches classes MWF but for a friday class, it really isn't hard. Does take attendance but not sure how much it count. Take him!

He is a great professor! He knows his subject very well. If you attend his class and listen to him you will not have to buy the book because everything you need to know is in the notes. He is a great guy, easy class.I definitely recommend.

Nicest guy. Really wants his students to get A's. Attendance is taken everyday, but doesn't matter. Skipped over half the classes, still got an A. Memorize 5 or 6 terms from study guides and essay question for tests and you'll get an A. No need for the textbook, google worked for me

Comment:

He is such a nice guy and loves history, but his class is so boring. It is a breeze to pass though. Got an easy A by just showing up. No papers or midterm. Final is not cumulative and you pretty much get to pick what terms are on the test ahead of time. Definitely take him. It may not be your most interesting class, but it will be your easiest.
