Comment:

DR. PROUSIS IS AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR WHO REALLY KNOWS HIS COURSE SUBJECT. HE IS STRICT WITH ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS BUT ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH LEARNED IN ONE LECTURE. HE EXPLAINS ALL OF THE INFORMATION REALLY WELL AND PROVIDES OUTLINES OF THE LECTURE FOR EACH CLASS. HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AND WANTS TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.

Comment:

Normally when students say a lot of reading I can shake it off and its no issue. With Prousis though you will read and some of the readings will suck, I felt the historiography was very dated. Many readings were very reactionary and left me with a desire for more, yet in a class on Soviet history we read NO Lenin, NO Trotsky, NO Soviet leaders.

I love this class and this teacher. Yes he has a hard class and you HAVE to read the books to pass. But he is incredibly helpful and he has a passion for this. I often laughed in his class. In addition, he guides you to if you ask for it. He will tell you that you need to improve on the quizzes. Would recommend.

Comment:

Dr. Prouis is brilliant, but lectures are only that. He will not answer questions during class, so you can keep your hand up all class, but he won't call on you. You will read a book every two weeks and quiz on it. Provides helpful study guides for every test/quiz, but looks for extremely detailed answers. If you don't read, you will fail.

Comment:

I am very interested in the subject matter but was turned off by Prof. the first day. While reviewing the syllabus he scolded us and spoke to us like we were children. He then let us know exactly how much reading we would do, a book a week, and how he will grade very harshly. The next 16 weeks were horrible. Don't take, will lucky if you get a C-

Comment:

Expect to read and write A LOT. If you're not a good writer already, your skills will improve if you take his feedback into account. Be sure to participate in class discussions. It's not a huge % of your grade, but he ended up giving a few people extra points for talking when no one else would. Just be involved and do your work and you'll do fine

Dr. Prousis is brilliant when it comes to this course. Expect to read A LOT, 1 book a week followed by a multiple questionshort essay quiz on it. The Mid term and final are cumulative, covering anything and everything covered previously. Skip class & don't read failure! Great feedback on quizzes however. StudyReadparticipate you will pass

Dr. Prousis is a tough teacher, but worth your time. SHow up to class, attendance is mandatory. Don't bring your phone or food. He has no problem calling you out if you're doing anything like that. He knows his subject backwards and forwards. Know how to write - if you aren't good at grammar, skip it.

He's a great teacher, no lie or doubt about it. But he is without mercy when it comes to grading and he's kind of a huge Jerk to his student. Zero Emptahy skills

I took Russian Culture with Prof. Prousis about 9 years ago and it is one of those courses that stays with you. I don't remember it being extremely difficult but I do recall taking a lot of notes. Very interesting class.

Comment:

While extremely passionate and knowledgeable, Dr Prousis was rigid and at times, completely unreasonable. His attendance policy can by summed up by his own statement, "If you die and it causes you to miss class, I need a note from the coroner." His grading is extremely subjective and there was way too much reading, 8 books for this class alone.

Comment:

Prousis is a very detailed very good instructor. You will definitely learn something from his classes. The only problem are the 400-500 page books every two weeks and the test over them. Maybe if this were my only class this semester it would be easier, but with the work load juggling other classes is way too hard. Even so he is such a nice person.

Very tough teacher. His way of the highway. Does have office hours but not much help. Too much reading. doesn't care that you have other classes to do work for. I had to read a total of 18 books for the 2 classes I had him for. They were all boring. Avoid at all costs. bad personality.

Comment:

Dr. Prousis is a great historian, but be prepared to take his very sarcastic personality with a grain of salt. Tests are extremely detailed. No concepts, all specifics. A lot of reading, but interesting books. Textbook was read from cover to cover. In class lectures are very detailed, but interesting. Attendance is mandatory.

Comment:

Prousis is a very hard professor, but his classes are passable if you do the assigned reading. His course was very reading intensive. The in class notes were very lengthy. Attendance is mandatory for his class. His multiple choice quizzes and exams are extremely detailed. The essays are graded for depth, content, grammar, spelling, and syntax.

This professor is one of my favorites at UNF so far. I'm not done with the class yet but he honestly made me a better historian. If you take a 3000 level history class be prepared to read. Very funny and knowledgeable about his subject.
