Comment:

Funk is a really nice guy, but he is SO disorganized and his lectures barely cover what is on the tests. I had a hard time taking his tests because they were all trick questions and things he barely mentioned in class.

Comment:

Merle is a really nice professor who is easy to talk to. However he is extremely disorganized, not a very good lecturer, and at times I felt like I knew certain topics better than he did. His tests are multiple choice, which tested us on useless facts.

really nice guy, however he says um and uh all the time, but not too annoying. There is a lot of reading in this class, but I think you can squeeze by without reading everything...only tests and a couple papers, thats it

Comment:

I've taken three of Merle's classes so far, and I have to say, he's the man. While he doesn't know it, he's been one of my most influential teachers throughout all of school. He even had a huge impact on my choice of U.S. History as a major...

Comment:

Overall a pretty easy class, but definetly a sleeper. Do not take this when you're tired. Funk's a pretty easy going guy, and definetly wants his class to be about learning, rather than grades (READ: Easy tests and papers.) The final was made a take home!

The guy's name is Dr. Funk. Imagine, you can raise your hand and say "Dr. Funk I have a question about..." It is worth taking his class just for that.
