Easy-going. No book required. Majority of his class is lecture, note-taking, and class discussions. He's straight forward about material you must learn which are just the notes on the board and from his lecture. Doesn't require memorization of dates. Tests are easy, made only from material(notes) he has reviewed. Take notes and you should do great!

Comment:
His tests are crazy tough. There were only 4 so you only have 4 chances to get a good grade. Taking notes is easy if you go to class, he gives you an outline. He also gives you like 5 or 6 articles to read, sometimes 30 pages long. He'll ask you about some of the articles in the test. Tests are confusing, he's also rude sometimes!

He doesnt help students. His tests are hard because he cares about the tiny bit of detail. Tests are too hard for G.E. course. Take someone else. You have been warned.

Comment:
You show up, write some notes and pay attention, and then you pass. There's no textbook, he goes off of what he outlines, and makes lecture easy. No dates to remember (some people find this the hardest). Gives an extra credit chance, DO IT! Take Dr. Davis, and get an B+ to A+.

The class is interesting, but he moves really fast. Keep your pen and paper ready to write, suggest giving FULL attention to lectures and write down points to help remember them Do not try and write down every little piece of info. Tests are multiple choice, yet slightly tricky, he'll teach you how to take his tests.

Do not take Davis! His tests are super difficult and there is absolutely no way to get an A in this class! All the studying in the world will not help you. You've been warned.

he isnt very clear with his notes & you only take 4 tests two regular and the other two are your midterm and final. fyi he will give you this random pop quiz (not actual pop quiz) asking the name of the president of the school and his full name. goodluck if you decide to take this class

Must attend class, tests are very hard. He makes class interesting but you have to take good notes to do well. By the end of the class I figured out how he tests and did well on last test at least.

Intimidating teacher. His tests very on difficulty but if you study notes you will be some what ok since some questions may trick you. Main problem I had with him was his essays. He grades harder than an English teacher!

I really enjoyed his class. He is a great speaker. He makes everything sound interesting and he is funny at times. Everything that he gives as notes is all the test. Just study and you'll do good.

Dr. Davis is intimidating! He is rude too, but I will admit that taking his class made me work harder to achieve that good grade! I wouldn't recommend him though...

He is a very good professor who puts in a lot of passion when teaching history. His tests are straight from his notes and mostly common sense. If you know the topic, then you will know the answers on the test. Dr. Davis' class is very fun, you wont regret
