Comment:

Took this class online . with working 9 til 5 and one online course you may want to reconsider. He has no exceptions. This is not an easy A. He is clear on grading but if you fail you fail no make up work no extra credit. 3 major exams strictly from the book. Also 10+ reading assignment you must read or you will not pass trust me. 1 writing essay.

To do well in this class you have to read from the textbook which take up a lot of time. Your major grades are 3 tests and an oral presentation. Not an easy class.

Honestly a really great professor, his tests are a lot of material but he explains everything well and is really passionate about the class. He also would give side knowledge about the topics in class. A freaking M A N!

One of the best professors Ive ever had! Very understanding, basically saved my life when I got my dates confused about my final exam & let me make it up. (even though giving me a 10 point penalty). I took him for summer II online, do not regret it one bit!

The perfect professor, passionate about what he teaches and makes it interesting. Took him for both courses that he has for American history. Totally hot, too, in that daddy way. Surprised I could focus.

Professor Hacker was great! Make sure to keep up with the online quizzes and you'll do fine. Tests aren't too hard and instead of essays, he gives short answer questions. Occasionally he'll give out a pop quiz but they only counted as extra credit. You have you go to his office to see the specific results of your exams. Make sure to read the book.

THE FUNNIEST MAN EVER!! He makes 80 minutes of class feel like 5 minutes. I never look at the time because it goes by so fast. He's very funny, yet content in what he teaches. His lectures are very helpful and easy to understand. He will always help if you need it, whenever.

Fantastic professor, all his lectures are interesting. His exams are based on them so don't miss any classes. I had him for 1301 and he gives one major research paper; the guidelines are very clear, I made a 100. He asks you to buy the textbook but I didn't use it all, everything you need to know is in the lectures. I highly recommend taking him.

Professor Hacker is easily one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are interesting and actually make you want to learn. He has a point based grading system. He has a reading quiz every week on blackboard, they are easy 10 points. His exams are based on his lectures, so don't skip class!! If you are a good student, you will get an A.

Comment:

I took Mr. Hacker for the second half of History and absolutely loved it. I am actually taking him again right now for the first part of History. He is very funny, and makes History enjoyable to listen to. Staying on top of your assignments is important, as he only gives 2 tests and the final. 10/10 recommend to those who do or do not love History!

I took Hacker for HIST1301 and had so much fun so I knew I had to take his HIST1302 class. I was not disappointed! Hacker is such a great speaker and makes the topics interesting. I didn't really need the textbook but it is CRUCIAL that you attend class since most of the questions on the test can be found from your lecture notes.

A very funny teacher that convinced me to become a history major. As long as you pay attention in lecturers the test should be relatively easy, especially the final. Also don't forget about the reading quizzes!

I took Professor Hacker for both HIST 1301 and 1302. He is the most amazing professor I have ever had in college. His lectures are all clear, he explains the material clearly and funny. You must come to class everyday and take notes of his lectures. Focus on the study term and read the book before exams, and you will get an easy A. Highly recommend

Comment:

Hacker is such a funny man. You can tell he's really passionate about history when he lectures. He makes jokes and makes the class laugh, so it's not just boring old blah blah blah about history. He answers questions thoroughly when you ask. He has pop quizzes, but they're 5 questions each and don't count against you. He wants to see you succeed.

I love Professor Hacker and I wish he taught more classes. Make sure to always come to class and take good notes on his study terms, because if you do you'll easily make an A on his exams! He's very clear on how he grades- a few exams, easy online reading quizzes, and a paper. I highly recommend him for all your history classes!
