Professor Batson is a great and best history professor in CSI. Knows his materials and help students on their struggles. His quiz isn't difficult as long as you study his review sheet and he curves grade by giving extra credits. I would recommend him to everybody to take his class. Especially students who are a history or education major.

Awesome. Whole textbook is on blackboard, for free! He gives 3 pretty easy quizzes and no final exam which was great. I didn't do so well on the first quiz got a 79, then rebounded, 96 and 92 and still got an A in the class. Show up, do your work, and enjoy the class cause he makes it super easy. Also, no need to take notes every lecture is on BB

Wasnt very fond of his style of teaching. He would very very BRIEFLY go over a topic and then move on to the next so youd really have to do some looking up the topics on your own before the test

His writing assignments require some short heavy text readings, we did about maybe 8 writing assignments throughout the semester. Other than that his tests are so easy plus he gives us study sheets.

This is one of the most excellent Professor that I ever had. His homework assignments were the most easiest that I ever had all you have to do his look at his syllabus to answer the questions inside the Core 100 textbook. His exams were easy. He has 2 exams for his classroom are the Midterm and the Final Exam for that semester.

Mr Batson is the nicest Professor I've had. His lectures are interesting and has two exams (MCQ). He jokes around during class and makes it fun. He even brought us cake at the end of the semester. Gives many extra credit options and a few homework assignments. Follow his study guide and you can bag an easy A.

I enjoyed my time with Professor Batson. He is a great guy and he enjoys what he teaches. My only correction that I would give him is better notes. He talks a lot, but in a good way. He is not note heavy at all, its just my personal preference to write notes. He is easy and cares about every student.

Comment:

Excellent professor! He always expands on topics discussed in the textbook. All-around amazing human being, both in class and out. He always encourages students to debate him, and whether you agree or disagree with some of his opinions, he always uses logic and research to reinforce why he feels a certain way.
