Comment:

You have to read two books, had a test over one (Marx) and wrote on essay over the other. You will also write a number of papers in this class, minimum 500 words. Lots of quizzes but they're easy if you've been paying attention. There are also "travel" journals that are a lot of fun to do. 2000 word term paper over whatever you want. Soft grader.

Professor Coyle really knows his stuff; you can ask him anything and he can churn out interesting, detailed information. His class is all lectures and essays. You'll write 10 papers, 2 of them over books, which have a 500 word minimum. He also does virtual field trips, which are a completion grade and add great context to what you've learned.

Every week is very similar so it is good to know what to expect. He is so awesome because he takes you on a virtual field trip to Italy the entire semester, since this class is usually taken abroad. Very interesting course. Weekly quizzes, good amount of short essays, and weekly journal entries. Very doable!

Comment:

Easy but lot of work. Every week there is either a 500 word writing assignment or a virtual tour with questions and a quiz for textbook. 2000 word research paper which isnt too bad coming from a somewhat lazy person. Lectures arent detrimental but if majoring in history i recommend going every day. Final didnt have essay but might change in future.

There is a lot of writing in this course including weekly essays and a research paper, but nothing is really all that hard. I really recommend him for his virtual field trips, they are cool and if you like history you will love this class. This is also the second class I have had with Coyle and I really enjoyed both.

The virtual field trips are really cool and easy. The thing some people may find negative is having to read two shortish books, but I found them to be pretty interesting and enjoyable. Most of your grade is based on essays as well which were easy to write.

This was one of the best classes I have ever taken! I absolutely loved the virtual field trips. Grades easy and cares about your success. Test every week over a chapter, Journal over the virtual field trip, and short essays. 3 major essays. Do your work and you will pass

There is A LOT of writing(weekly journals, 3 maj essays, and 6 short essays) but I highly recommend Professor Coyle! He's put together 'virtual' field trips that are detailed and engaging. His passion for history comes through in his lessons-truly a rare find in online courses. He has no interest in failing you, put in the effort and you'll pass.

Mr Coyle was a great Professor ! His tests are really easy and they're all papers so it so easy to just write and expand on the topic. He grades really easily and sometimes he will just give you an A if you attempted to show up and do the tests. Great professor and very nice and Knowledgeable

Professor Coyle was definitely one of the best professors i have ever taken throughout my college career. He cares about his students and want to make sure that each and everyone of us pass. He gives you reviews before every essay test and gives you a chance to make any of them up. He understands we have life and accepts late work

Very admirable in his knowledge of the course keeps you interested in the lectures. If I could I would take him again; such a great man that he even offered the whole class his help if we ever needed a recommendation letter or any help that he could assist us with.

Professor Coyle makes this class an adventure. We went on "online field trips," which were a lot of fun. There is a lot of work to do with homework due every week, but it is all pretty simple stuff. He is an easy grader, and he is funny. This class is great. Take this class from Professor Coyle!

I loved this class, it was pretty easy. weekly discussions and journals and a quiz every week BUT at the end of the semester he opened all the quizes back up so you could retake them another 2 times. 2 book quizes - relatively easy, I got b's on both and didn't read them.

Professor Coyle is amazing! i started liking history more after taking his class. All his tests consist of essays but you get the prompt in advance so theres no reason why you should fail... he is extremely passionate when it comes to teaching others. I highly recommend him

Professor Coyle is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have never been interested in history, especially European history but he is so passionate about it and makes you want to learn more. I highly suggest taking him his as a teacher. He does not grade hard and teaches just like he is telling a story. Highly recommended!!
