Comment:

Albee is a good teacher. He's quiet so during summer (with the windows open) he's hard to hear. Exams are tough so study, but he has a makeup policy (that you can use only if you decide not to take the exam at the time.) No final, no homework, just 3 tests.

Comment:

only three exams all semester, so not a whole lot of room for improvement if you do badly on one. no homework or papers or anything. i was usually bored, but he's a nice guy & makes sure to tell you exactly what will be on the exams. you'll need to do some reading, but definitely not an excessive amount.

Comment:

Nice professor, ridiculously easy class. Two major exams are entirely multiple choice, some minimal reading (only need to do what's shown in one is short essay. If you do syllabus), it's easy to get 100. I agree that he's very soft spoken, which can be annoying. But a very sweet man.

Comment:

This professor knows his stuff! really intrested in history too. Quiet, so you might have to sit in the front...but hes good about repeating things if you need him too. only three major grades, really no way to improve if you fail a test. Overall good professor, learned a lot.

Good professor. Very soft spoken so sit in the front if you want to hear him better! I love his lecture style, it's in a story-like format and very easy to follow. And he sounds like Mr. Rogers which always makes me smile (hehe).

Very intelligent man. Hard to hear sometimes, but well worth it. Very concerned for student's well being and an all around nice guy. A stand-out in a very weak History Department at USM.

Great professor. Class is really easy and he wants you to do well. Extrememly hard to hear though, so if you want to learn anything, then I'd sit in the front.

Hard to hear since he whispers, the wind is louder and if the heater is on or the door open, you won't hear him. But he's helpful and easy grader.

nice guy, clearly a quality instructor... the one big problem is he's FAR TOO QUIET. sit in the front row, or you'll miss a lot of lecture. one more bonus, though: no finals.
