Comment:

Took Inventing the Past with Dr. Hayse. He is an intelligent man and is extremely knowledgeable of German and Holocaust history. Unfortunately, I would not recommend him if you are concerned about your standing in the class because he only put one grade on the whole semester- and our grade was only based off of a few grades.

Comment:

Professor Hayse is very knowledge about the Third Reich. He loves it when the class participates. Participation is key! He is not a touch grader. A few book reviews and a research paper of your choice. Also an online final exam. He does take a while to give grades and papers back but he is very passionate and will help you if you try.

Comment:

He is a great professor and extremely knowledgeable. You will have a ton of reading to do (four books!) but will also learn a lot. You will received graded papers late, so make sure to remind him that you are waiting for feedback and he will be happy to work with you. The lectures are amazing. You will not find a more passionate history professor.

Professor Hayse is very knowledgeable in this area of teaching. The class was really interesting, however it is necessary to read and constantly pay attention. The grade consisted of midterm, final, two book reviews, and participation.

Comment:

This man is non existent. We had an online course this semester and he did not grade one assignments and didn't even put in the final grades for the semester when they were due. I honestly have no idea what is going on, and I don't even know what grade I am going to get. He knows a lot about Europe and it's easy but it's not that interesting.

Comment:

Assigns tons of reading but no tests and get frustrated when no one talks about readings. WILL NOT GRADE ANYTHING! Going into the final paper you will have no idea if you are writing to his liking. Most likely will not respond to emails. last week of class he assigns presentations that are not in the syllabus and he has not discussed all semester!

Comment:

If you want to learn about the Third Reich, there probably isn't anything this professor doesn't know. He looks for class participation. He is very nice, and his assignments (mostly book reports) are very reasonable. The course is not difficult, and the reading assignments are interesting. You will learn a lot in this course.

Comment:

Tries to cram everything in 1 class. He's disorganized when it come 2 lecturing. Feedback on assignments & returning them is close to never but judges when you submit something late. I'm a firm believer that a person should lead by example. He encourages questions & is very knowledgeable about Germany. He will look sources up for you if you need it

Comment:

nice guy. is area of expertise is Germany and the war. he does expect a lot from his students but he isn't terrible. he is a bit unorganized and doesn't give papers back. but a simple email asking him where you stand would help. he responds to emails fairly quickly and is very understanding

Comment:

Professor not seem to care at all about this class which is kind of, you know, his job. Never bothered to grade papers all semester or answer student emails. Rarely was in his office when he said he would be. Always promised to hand things back but never did. He was kind of rude about class discussions. Regularly was late for class.

Comment:

Very unorganized. Hayse is very knowledgeable about modern Germany but this class seems like it could have been organized differently. We never received out papers back all semester. Hayse was very helpful with our individual consultations about our term papers. I would recommend an independent study with him over an actual class.

Comment:

I big disappointment in class that should have been interesting. Hayse never gives papers back. If you make a mistake or do not write in a style he wants (which he never specifies) you have no way of fixing your grade. He can be very demanding and critical of students while he fails to meet the same standards.

I don't think I learned anything from him about power in history. Hayse is really unorganized and can be very smug when you ask him about your papers or grade. Does not seem to care about teaching, which is supposed to be his job.

Terrible professor. He is never organized or seems to care at all about his class or students. Hayse never hands back papers. We received zero feedback all semester. You never know what your grade is until it is too late.

Unorganized teaching style. It is as if he doesn't really care about his students. Never gives guidelines. Never gives grades. Never gives papers back. Never responds to student emails. Never follows the syllabus. It's like he should not even be a professor.

Lousy professor. Never gives feedback and is hyper critical of your opinions in class discussions. Does not give guidelines for papers until less than a day before the papers are due. Constantly forgets about things clearly on the syllabus and will never give back papers.

By far the worst professor I have ever had. Does not seem to care about students at all. He never gives back papers so you have no idea how you are doing the entire semester. Do not take classes with him if you can help it.

Avoid taking this professor. He is never organized, never gives papers back, lets you know papers are due less than a day before, never get grades all semester. Just a bad professor.

Avoid taking this professor if you can. He never gives any work back even after the semester is over. You never know how you are doing in his class or what he expects of you.
