Comment:

He is the dept chair, so you better be ready to buckle down. Tests are super hard, b/c multiple answers might work. Gives extra credit for tests, especially if you type out the review questions, answers, and page numbers. Hardly lectures on History, but is hilarious. Made class fun. I recommend him. Just STUDY, as I said.. Tests are super hard.

NEED the book. Passes out study guide for upcoming test & all you have to do is answer them on your own. In class he'll go over the answers and he lets you used your notes on the test. If you type up your study guide he'll give you extra points. He does offer extra credit so take advantage. Test questions are ALMOST the same as the study guide! :)

I cant say he is easy, but in my view he is easier than others, also his assignments is in your hand that depends on you. If you take him, try to make first 3 As and you finish this class.

EASY professor! Gives you a review to work on & bases the exam's questions on the review! On top of that you get to use your review on the exam! I suggest you go to class to get the answers to the review. But if you decide not to go, than look for the answers in the book! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR AN EASY A!!!

Comment:

HE is very outgoing,and understanding. HE doesnt tolerate people who lie about missing class, too many students do and they make it bad for other people. Basically if you have the proof, hes understanding and humble.The class was boring though basically because it was based on AMERICAN HISTORY;aint nothing fun about that especially the big cover up

Comment:

One of the worst,gossip more about own life then history content. Want to be fun + loving teacher. I didn't learn anything much. Self learned alot, open notes tests but hard.Very lazy teacher missed 5 days of class time didn't notify student (busy w/ school function other then teaching). Credit opportunities ++. Apparently if kept old exam help ++
