Took Professor Mills for History 1&2. Really great professor! Really liked his lectures. You will read in this class, and do quizzes and tests. He has a clear grading criteria and he is there if anyone has questions after class.

I hate history. Prof. Mills made it bearable and even fun! Weekly quizzes and if you ask nicely, hell send out a study guide. Exams are 30 multiple choice and 2 essay questions, one based on readings and one given to you a week before. Final exam is the tricky one because its only 2 essay questions, 50 pts. each. One group project halfway through

So this was my first time taking American History (international student) I just had to read a lot to pass de quizzes, he gives the answers after every quiz . The test has the same questions of the quizzes so just pay attention. He is very passionate with he's job. He makes the class more interesting. I love him.

Awesome professor! He makes lectures so interesting, and is a funny dude! He is a very tough grader but You will pass If you go to class and actually pay attention and read the chapters. Attendance and the textbook are mandatory.

Voice record all the quizzes, he goes over them RIGHT after, all on the tests. Read the first page (American portrait) of each chapter. Don't miss class. Read each chapter, the lecture notes are scarcely used on the test. Read the source documents!! He is lowkey kinda mean but he's a good teacher, make sure to find the rhythm and you'll be fine.

Professor Mills does not care about his students. He just lectures nonsense and is very unprofessional. Incoming freshman's dont take his class, you will regret it.

A word of warning. Exams are 60% multiple choice 40% essay (on primary sources). Although he gives you sources ahead of time, he grades tough! The rest is easy. If all you sit thru his lectures and show up every day, you will get a D guaranteed. His classes are fun and engaging. He is very approachable and a great listener.

Very passionate and knowledgeable about history, however, if you do not like to read this class is not for you. Weekly quizzes over assigned chapter reading. I had to read the chapter 3 times in order to get the A in the course but then again I am not much of a reader. Exams are fairly simple. Final is cumulative.

I am very good in history and this teacher I wouldn't recommend for history he makes you read heavily and is old school. He doesn't print out the quiz instead everyone in the class has to look towards the projector and answer questions.

No homework, 10 quizzes every Wednesday, I read 2 times the same chapter and only failed one because of lack of time, 4 test based on notes and quizzes and also you have to write about a one of the 3 primary sources he will give you (make notes and memorize those), he goes over the answers! Sounds hard, but if you read/study youll pass!

If you want the college experience as a first-year student, he's your guy. He's like a grandpa being really funny. He doesn't post his PPTs but they are easy to write them down. READ THE BOOK, he asks stuff about it a lot. If you can, get both books ASAP so you can read them and get ahead with them. Teamwork is recommended.

Excellent! He does not take attendance. He requires you to read out of the textbook and does NOT provide the powerpoint on blackboard. A museum visit is required. You will need 10 scantrons AND 4 mini essay scantrons. His tests are based off the 3 quizzes before the test day and you need to read 3 primary sources. Tough time if you don't read.
