Comment:

Paul Rozek gives great lectures and if you try just a little bit itll be an easy A. Quizzes are once every week on the assigned reading out of the textbook. They all have study guides before hand so its somewhat easy. Theres 2 writing assignments which are quite tedious but doable. Theres no real tests besides the midterm and final essays.

Comment:

Great professor! I did not enjoy History before his class, but I found this class very interesting. Very little homework, only 2 papers that he lays out exactly what he expects and gives you plenty of time. He will even review drafts. Midterm and final are essay questions w/cheat sheet. One quiz a week based on book, lectures important for tests

Comment:

VERY lecture heavy. Professor Rozek was nice and all but he was just very boring . Chapter quizzes every week. Just do the study guides given, they are basically same questions asked on quizzes. There were 2 essays and he grades hard. The midterm and final were easy because you know the prompts. Just make sure you take A LOT of notes! I mean A LOT!

I would suggest keeping track of your grades on quizzes, etc. so you are aware of what your grade always is because he does not update canvas.

Comment:

In Professor Rozeks class you will have a 15pt quiz about every week per chapter. I suggest using the book to read chapters & he will also post study guide on canvas w/ questions related to quiz that you can use to study. There is also 2 essays for midterm & final, you will need to attendant class to write notes that can be used for essays.

Paul was very nice and tried his best to remember everybody's name. Had two writing assignments(essays), quizzes every week, a midterm, and a final. The study guides are exactly what's going to be expected you know. He doesn't care about you memorizing dates of events. Take good notes and you will do extremely well in the class.

Comment:

His class was not easy but he made it worth it. I took his classes for two semesters and I don't think I would have done well in those classes without having him lecture. Taking notes is very simple cuz he lays it all out in the best way on the whiteboard. lots of reading for weekly quizes but their not hard. Hard work made possible by a great guy

Comment:

I enjoyed Rozeks class. He gave me a new appreciation for History so I switched my major to history. Much of the class period is lecture, but his knowledge and visible passion for History makes it interesting. Taking good notes is essential for the final and midterm (essay tests). I didnt care for the book selection for the writing assignments.

Comment:

Professor Rozek was probably the best History professor I've had. This is a class that meets the saying "you get out what you put in." Quiz every week based off study guide. GO TO CLASS. His lectures are crucial to getting a good grade on tests. If you take good notes, you will get a good grade. Very patient too with annoying students.

Comment:

There are weekly quizzes however they are fairly easy as long as you complete the study guides. We had two writing assignments in class, I felt he was very blunt on the instructions practically tells you what he expects and where he excepts it. Lectures were not boring at all never got distracted in class.

Chapter quiz every week but easy if you read and do the study guide. Grades VERY hard on writing assignments. Grades fairly on midterm and final. Notes are very hard to keep up with. You have to attend class to take notes that you need for your midterm and final

She is a very caring guy, his classes go by very fast and he teaches the material in notes and lecture format. She's the first Professor that I had my classes passed by so fast. You have quizzes every week and 2 test and two writing assignments. He is also the most patient teacher, because this one girl would never shut up and he was really smooth.

As long as you show up to class you will be able to pass. Rozek is very caring and is always helpful if you ask for help. Had quizzes every week that were 100% based off of the study guides that he offers. Exams were solely based off lectures. Did not post grades though, had to ask what my grade was throughout the year via email.

Very disappointed. His study guides don't help you on the quizzes at all, lectures are very unorganized, and i can keep going. He should learn a thing or too about teaching cause he needs it. Went to discuss with him about some help about the subject and barely helped me. I got an A+ with professor Brown last semester and now barely holding a C-.

Best history teacher I ever have. I find history boring but not in his class. Class goes by very fast. Weekly quiz that he gives study guide for. Easy a on those if you study. His midterm and final are the same. You turn in paper and do in class essay. Tough grader so take him up on his offer to look at your paper before turning it in, it will help

One of my all-time favorites professors and heavily influenced my decision to major in History. He makes learning so much fun and approaches subjects from a fascinating standpoint. It's a fair amount of work but if you show up and do what he asks, the class is set up for you to succeed! I took him for both 17A & B and would definitely take again.

He starts each class with a question and then gives a lecture to answer the question. He teaches kind of in a story format which makes the class much more interesting. Weekly reading quizzes, two essays, midterm, & final.
