Comment:

Tests are from the notes you take during his lectures, textbook is not necessary. Truly has a passion for history. Will lecture all class, every class, and expects you to take notes like you are writing a story, no bullet points, as everything is connected. Learn to take and study notes and you will pass.

Comment:

The information was very vivid. If I were to describe the tests it would be "Johnny has an apple, now calculate the circumference of the sun" kind of questions. To clarify none of the questions involved math, they were all very confusing. Went off on tangents a lot, not a bad thing for someone really into it, but awful if you are tired and hungry.

Comment:

He makes the lecture interesting, but not because he is a good teacher. Let me clear myself , is just the dirty part of history that he thinks are relevant to you that he says in class. You never will get an organized class, a logical order class. he jumps back and for all the time which makes difficult for students to take notes plus he speak rea

Comment:

He is passionate about what he teaches but he is not an easy A . You have to pay attention and write lots of notes, the test come from your notes. He does repeat himself a lot so you always have a chance to write down what you missed before. you can review your notes in his office. only 3 tests no homework except for a reading discussion in class.

I credit this professor for helping me find a passion for history. Yes, I said it. His lectures are amazing, he brings the stories to life. Very intelligent, straightforward and polite. He has a passion for teaching students, pushes you to think and inquire when he asks questions. It's an easy class if you don't miss a class and read your notes.

Comment:

His lectures are interesting, he talks about history in ways you wouldn't hear about in textbooks. He just has an attitude of "i'm better and smarter than you." He just rambles on and on in class so you never know what is going to be on the exams. He goes off on tangents and then says "it may not be on the test, but it will be on the test of life."

I had him for two American history classes and I enjoyed both very much. He is a great teacher and makes the lectures interesting. All the notes you take down will be in the exam just dont miss class. The textbook is NOT a Must, the notes cover all the material.

I LOVE history, love going to his class, but his test are hard. He teaches, you write down what you think is important and then test you. I feel like if he had an outline for his test that would be better ,but hi. He's a great teacher,tells you great information.

I really enjoyed his class ! His lectures are clear and he makes them understandable. Its important to take notes, its needed to study for the two test he gives. His class is easy in the sense of coming to class and taking notes. He is preparing you for your test. He encourages students to stop by his office hours and to have a smoke free day :)

Reading some of these comments made me chuckle out loud. I find Dr. Berry's class a joy to be in, his lectures are interesting and he's highly knowledgeable! He is ALWAYS willing to help out students. He makes this crystal clear, his availability. I passed his class with a B, as long as you come to class and write his lecture notes, you'll pass.

Comment:

Do not take this class. Only 3 tests the whole semester over too much material. The whole class is a lecture. It is hard to pay attention because of how boring he makes the class. He admits that the class is boring. If this class had power points and outlines of the test I feel that more people would pass.

Comment:

VERY lecture-intensive. Class is not mandatory, but necessary. Just take notes, study them, and you'll do fine. You have to read one book that's painfully boring, but it's short. Tests are multiple-choice and sometimes have an essay. Very interesting, knowledgeable, and funny teacher. Very approachable. I would definitely take him again.

Comment:

I have never had a teacher like Dr. Berry before, he makes the class VERY interesting. I don't want to miss even one. Which is good because you get extra points at the end if you don't miss more than 3. He is very personable, open to you coming to his office after hours, etc. He doesn't want you to fail. Berry gives real life advice as well :)

Took this class fall 2013, DOES NOT USE the book and gives tests with questions not covered. He often gets off topic and talks about himself too much and what he has done. Only way you will pass is if you get lucky

Comment:

He's pretty self centered and talks about a bunch of stuff that relates to himself. I felt like I was in African American history class most of the time. He could careless about you or your grades. Hard to prepare for tests and takes weeks to grade them. Makes you read a book that's about black discrimination in his hometown.
