Comment:

Great professor. If he had a podcast I'd listen to it, he's just got that great voice and the ability to tell a story really well. I had to work pretty hard to get an A in this class, really study hard for those essay tests and make sure you write a lot down. I found the textbook useful just for extra reading, but if you're non-PSEO, don't buy it.

Chad was one of the best professors I ever had. His class is all lecture but he makes each lecture enjoyable and relatable. He teaches history so everyone understands and is very easy to talk to. The class is chill and you don't get attendance credit. Although, you should want to be there because you cover a lot of information in each class.

Chad was the best. He was able to make a boring topic fun, and I enjoyed listening to his lectures. His test are essays and he gives you the questions that are going to be on there. His final was a little tricker but if you paid attention in class you should do fine. I'm definitely going to continue taking classes with Chad.

I took History of the Presidency with Chad Israelson and Atef Dimian. They are both great teachers and will work with/help you for sure. It is a hard class tho, you will have to attend and do your homework, and take really good notes! The lectures are interesting, fast paced and fun to listen to. No extra credit and essay tests.

I learned so much in western civ!! Always very organized and is good about letting you know when quizzes and tests are. Going to class is a really good idea, and if you want an A, do some reading. There are a couple questions from the book on the quizzes.

Good teacher. I had him for 1613 during the same semester and liked him in both classes. Simple class layout is super. Four 50 point in class essay tests. 5 25 point, 25 multiple choice question quizzes. Drop your lowest quiz score. Only a few questions taken from the book on each quiz. Come to lectures. Read a little. Work hard on your essays. A!

Comment:

Great teacher. Loves his subject matter and what he does.Respectful of all religions and is pretty objective. Somewhat cynical about man's motives thought. Money is our primary motivator. He says that he is an easy B but a hard A and that is probably true. He was a pretty easy A for me but I like history and have studied it before. Good teacher.
