Comment:

Absolutely the best professor I have had at UNA. Took him for two classes and would take him again if I could. He tells history like a funny story that he was there for and makes class very fun. His tests are hard though, you have to prepare hard for them. As long as you do, youll make an A. (The tests are the only grades).

Comment:

He is a hilarious professor and is very passionate. He lectures the majority of class and you have to write down everything. Only takes 3 test grades (2 essays) and a book report. He grades very hard and doesn't really explain how he grades. Not many extra credit ops and when there are its only 1-2 points. Be prepared to take lots of notes.

Comment:

Tests are super hard and he only grades based on opinion. He doesn't ever stay on track and falls behind easily, going on tangents about random things. My class was supposed to get from Reconstruction to present day, and only got to the end of Progressivism. He's funny, but I would have liked to stick to the schedule and actually learn things.

Comment:

Schoenbachler (pronounced Shane-back-ler) or ShakeN'Bake is a professor that you will enjoy in lecture and his rants and distractions are interesting. However, there are only four grades the entire semester: 3 tests and a book review. He grades harshly on these tests so take lots of notes and do your reading.

Dr. Schoenbachler is a rad professor. Take good notes in his lectures and do the required readings before the test. Tests are only essay questions so try to be as specific as possible.

This was my first class at UNA. It was a term one course and was only 24 days. We went over a lot of material, nine movies and ALOT of reading. It was a decent experience overall.

Comment:

Shake & bake gives the best, funniest, most entertaining lectures ive ever sat through. Hes such a cool guy. BUT, his tests are just unreasonable. He gives essay questions only, and expects details down to a T. If you dont study your material insanely thourougly and keep up on multiple readings, you will struggle greatly.

Comment:

His tests are 50+ questions +writing and there's only 4. Each is 100 points so if you screw 1 up your grade will suffer. Gives "extra credit" but only adds 1 or 2 points to a test. Asked for help and he basically told me I should seek tutoring. This doesn't help because test questions are so specific. Oh, and DON'T YAWN. He will embarrass you.

He's very understanding and his lectures are super informative. He is a great teacher and he's always there for his students for personal and educational problems. I still email him almost every week for moral support and random college questions

He's very passionate about his subject which makes the lectures interesting along with the fact that he's hilarious. He gives tons of extra credit: 2 study sessions per test and each attendance is 2 extra points for said test. He also gives credit for attending lectures. Read the material and take about 2 pages of notes daily and you'll get an A.

IF YOU LOVE HISTORY OR WANT TO LAUGH TAKE HIM. funniest person ever, makes history fun until you have an exam. Lots of readings required to pass the exams and by the way of his teaching, it's hard to remember what he says in lecture unless you study A LOT.

One of the greatest professors I have ever had!! You must take him for history if you can. I took him this past summer in June so there was a lot of reading, but if you were to take him during the regular semester, you should do fine bc it will be spread out more. Don't yawn though or he will call you out. haha! ;)

Hilarious teacher, really enjoyable. Hard to take notes sometimes though. He gets off on a lot of tangents that can sometimes become a nuisance. Pretty tough grader but not unfair. Make sure to do the reading and dedicate more than just the night before to study for the test.

LOVE LOVE LOVE his class! He makes it interesting and you honestly never know what he will say next. Super funny and super nice. His class isn't that hard at all, basically you just need to listen, take notes, and read (readings are typically short). I enjoyed his class so much I'm taking him for HI 202 too!

This is literally the best teacher I've had yet! He's so funny and makes things interesting, but make sure you read the readings he assigns and take plenty of notes! He learns your name and keeps you involved, but don't yawn because he calls you a yawner and points at you lol
