Pretty good and easy. I took both US Hist a and b, and they were both the same. You read the textbook and lectures, write about a subject, and take a quiz. Reading is simple, writing is fine with the lecture, and quizzes are easy with the study guides.

I took Koeninger for History 207B online over the summer. Overall a solid professor. Very formal feel, even on my online class. His grading criteria was super clear though, and that was the best part. He gave lots of time on quizzes and tests so they weren't too hard. I would recommend.

BEST online class. Always do worksheets (couple questions each week) and chapter lecture and you will pass. I never read the long chapters of open stax textbook but I still got A. Quizzes are just questions from worksheets. Same with tests. He doesn't grade hard but he won't accept late work. Only one paper for final that's 1,200 words.

I took history 207A and 207B from Koeninger. I would def recommend him to anyone. Yes you will have to read but his history is not like high school! I've learned many things I didn't know about. I got A in both classes. Do the study guide and you should be able to pass with flying colors. I'ts not a hard class just put in the work and youl be fine

I had him in an online class and he stayed in contact with us, always gave very great feedback, and would send out reminders for due dates. Fast grader. He posted audio versions of his lectures and a ton of helpful links. He made very helpful study guides. Its obvious that he really cares about his students learning. He has very cute cats also.

Be prepared to read! Taking his online history class makes reading your new hobby. You get graded on a weekly discussion which is not hard if you read the lectures. However, his online tests are very difficult even if you study. No late work accepted for any reason. no extra credit and no makeups.

I had to drop this class a month before we were finished because he refused to work with me while I thought I had COVID-19. This professor isn't a good fit if you have anxiety and/or a chronic illness.

Comment:

This is the best history class I have ever taken! His lectures, study guide, and exams all match up and are straightforward. As long as you stay consistent with discussions and study guides you will pass this class with an easy A. He has great feedback and regularly praises us for good discussions. It's a lot of reading, but that is expected.

Anthony Koeninger is a gem of a professor. I took his online 207A History Course and the amount of effort he puts into the course is astounding. The weekly short essay topics are interesting, and the quizzes are pretty easy if you use the study guide. 10/10, would suggest this course.

Very passionate about History. So much so that he get's dramatic and can storm out of class if he doesn't get a quick enough response from the class. He threw his remote several times when I took him and then he just left without any explanation. Otherwise he does bring the history to life. He also loves pronouncing spanish words.

I liked his 207A class so much I also took the 207B class too...I am an art major. One of the best professors I have ever had in any subject. Passionate about history, and his lectures are a blast. What he expects from you is crystal clear, and there are study guides for every exam. Really enjoyed his classes!

One of the best Professors ever! So passionate about the subject! I took History 207A & B with him, online. Received an A in both classes. There is a lot of reading but that is to be expected with any History class. He is incredibly fair and only puts information on the quizzes and tests that are in the study guide. Do the work & you'll be fine.

I took this as a high school student and I can definitely say it was the best choice, there is quite a bit of reading but it is a college class. He starts you off with 25 bonus points which helps out so much as you go through the course. He does have a weekly post, it is not mandatory but it's suggested. He even includes podcasts of the lectures.

Comment:

I tried to like Dr. K, but he's just too emotional. Reminded me of being in high school again in that he gushes over his favorite students (& topics) and doesn't really pay attention to the rest. Waaay too much material to cover for a low level course. Tests were extremely difficult in that regard. I hear the online course is easier. GPA dropper.

Dr. Koeninger really loves history and cares about his students. Much thought and time were put into the materials made History interesting, easy and fun to learn. In is online class he provides practice tests so there is no guessing as to what is expected. I have already signed up for 207A next semester and HIGHLY recommend him!

I took his summer class and it was awesome! He gave you absolutely everything you needed to pass. He sent funny emails each week and had interesting lectures. I would recommend taking his class if you can! My only regret is not taking his class in person. You're missing out if you don't! He seems like such a cool guy and loves cats. So adorable!

I took his online class and it is so easy! He gives you study guides for everything so as long as you fill them out you can look at them during the test/quiz and get an easy A. You do actually have to do the work but he definitely sets you up for success.
