Took this professor for online West Civ. Hardest class I had. There are 8 tests that are designed to be extra difficult. About 8 papers all 1200 words due almost every two weeks and a discussion for every week. Do not take him if you want an easy A or just to breeze by.

Really tough tests! Tough grader. Every two weeks (give or take) you have an 1500-1800 word paper, a difficult exam, and a discussion. You are given plenty of time but when you have other classes, its not easy. Would not take his class again.

Pretty solid professor. I took his online class and usually you had two weeks to complete each chapter which included: a discussion post, paper, and exam. He is a bit of a tough grader but once you get the hang of things it's not too bad. He's organized and provides a lot of additional resources. I would take him again.

Prof. Chu is an amazing professor. I did not but the textbook and I scored a B+ every single test. He is very passionate about teaching geography and he also makes it very interesting. He may talk a lot but he does give you amazing information that I never knew about. Overall great man, easy grade if you try, tests consist of a lot of points

Comment:

Took the course online and found the work very manageable for each week. You read 1-2 chapters, post on discussion board & respond twice, 30-50 question exam and a 1-2 page paper. You can get by skimming a lot of the history book for the discussion & paper, the exam is more detailed. Gives a pass for missed assignment on a paper,discussion & exam.

His tests are difficult. Most of the questions on the tests are either not mentioned in lecture, or mentioned very briefly and not explained clearly. I recommend you read the textbook, but even then, the way the multiple choice questions are worded might confuse you.

I took this course over the summer. He was great there is a discussion, test and a paper due each week. THIS CLASS IS VERY CHALLENGING. i suggest if you do not know how to write well, or do not like writing at all this online course is not for you. but overall great course, makes you really think about what you are writing.

Comment:

Professor Chu is a really good professor. You can tell he enjoys teaching and is passionate about history. His class is not easy, lots of work and the tests are extremely difficult. He points out if you get half the questions right on a test you did well. Class was online, forum posts, paper and test every two or three weeks. Over all, enjoyed it.

Comment:

Professor Chu is an extremely straightforward and fair teacher. He has a system which he expects you to abide by and as long as you do there is no reason not to do well. I have taken 3 courses with him this being my third (Western Civ) and each one has been great. As long as you do what he says there is no reason why you should not pass.

took this class online for Summer II, if you are going to take this class I would recommend to only take this class in the summer, it's a lot of work but very interesting, he requires you to do three things each week, discussion, test and essay; discussions are easy, test are very difficult, easy questions are easy, this class was easy and hard

Comment:

Difficult for no reason. He does not treat this like a 101 course. EACH WEEK you Must read 2 long chapters, take extremely difficult test where he expects you to only get half the questions right, discussion along with 1.5-2 pg single spaced essay. I am a hard working student but I feel like he went out of his way to make this hard.

Comment:

This course was slightly more challenging that my other online courses. The exams can be tricky, I had to reread the questions. Essays and the discussions were far easier than the exams. If you are looking for an easy breeze, look elsewhere because Chu isn't it. positive feedback always given after assignments are submitted-a quick grader. A!

This was an incredibly easy class online. I took west civ, one discussions,short essay, and test due every two weeks. If you need help Professor Chu answers within 24 hours great communication! I also heard hes great in the class room as well. Either way deff consider taking him if you need to take a history.

Comment:

Professor Chu is an excellent professor. I took his online course and it consisted of three parts: Discussion board, term paper, and exam. He is strict "no excuses" if missed an assignment. He separates the chapters 2 at a time, which are 30 pages each. At first, it was difficult but if you follow his method of learning; it will be a breeze.

3 exams, 3 essays, and an optional presentation. I highly recommend to record the lectures. The exams are in essay form and if you want an A write exactly what was said in the lecture and use the highlighted terms. Barely use the textbook so I would use the one in the library instead of buying.

By far one of the best professor's I've ever had in college. He made every topic interesting which is so hard to do! I loved listening to his lectures, he really know his stuff. There are basically 3 major tests, & one paper. He gives you the study guide 2 weeks ahead of time. Just study & you'll do good! He's the best professor ever, take him!

Professor Chu is extremely organized, I love it! Took this class online. Although it is a required gen. ed course, it was THE best online course I have ever taken. Professor Chu's class was challenging, but extremely efficient.I learned a lot.If you are not a strong test taker, you can redeem yourself with paper. Highly recommended,but don't slack!
