I hated this class. I am a 3.5 GPA range student and I made a D in this class. I ended up taking it with someone else and made a A. If you have test anxiety, DON'T TAKE THIS THIS CLASS WITH HIM AS THE PROFESSOR.

Comment:

He did all of his grading based off of four tests. Each test format is different. If you want to pass the class you need to do well on all four tests. Do not skip class because the questions on the tests are related to things he said during class.

Comment:

He does very little but lecture. He bases the entire class on the four tests that he gives. While not an impossibly hard professor to make a decent grade in, he is insanely lecture heavy and carries the beliefs from the times when he is born so if easily offended do not take. Boring. Monotonous. High Stress. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

This was a very difficult class. Simply because your entire grade comes from four tests only. and his lectures are hard to follow. You have to read the information on your own and teach yourself if you want to pass.

Comment:

You have to show up to class and pay attention to pass. He only gives tests, but each one has extra credit questions at the end. He is very passionate about history, it shows in his lectures. He hands out packets that he has created with the subject material and gives study guides, so if you pay attention and study you will easily get an A.

All of the lectures are based off of his own knowledge. Be prepared to do a lot of studying and memorization. Show up for the class, take notes, and memorize the study guide and notes he gives you and you will do good.

Comment:

Dr. Stirewalt is a great History prof. His lectures are very informational yet highly interesting. He teaches in an almost story-telling style and really enables students to view life in the past. Read his handouts, pay close attention to the extra cred. section, he tells you what will be extra credit, its +20 pts each test Cant beat that!

Mr. Stirewalt was the hardest professor I have ever had. I love history and he made me want to hate it. I didn't fail the tests but I didn't do very good either. I would not take his class unless you are a book smart history loving nerd.

Comment:

I found Dr. Stirewalt to be very boring. He has a monotone voice with long lectures, lots of handouts, and a moderate amount of reading. Just make sure to study the handouts and know them word for word as well as do all the reading you should make it out of the class with a decent grade. Good luck!!!

Really knows his history; doesn't use book at all, never opened it; provides handouts to add to for notes; tests strictly from his notes; strays off topic; hilarious; cares about his students; go to class, take the notes, read and re-read; tests are fill in the blank; gives 20 point bonus (essay etc) do the work and you will pass; would take again;

I could tell he really loved History, but unfortunately was hard to understand and made the class a lot more difficult than it needed to be.

Comment:

Dr. Stirewalt was a wonderful professor. He was so great at his lectures. He is definitely set in his ways but I respect that completely. The reading is not difficult but you do have to read so get ready. His quizzes are from the biography book and he hands out packets basically everyday to keep in order. I think it was a wonderful experience.

Highly invested in his class, make sure to read the hand outs and make sure to highlight key points. Do make sure to keep notes while he lectures, and make sure you understand the readings and the hand outs. If you do not understand something make sure and ask he will break it down and expand upon it for you. Highly engaging lectures, and funny.

Dont understand all the bad comments people are giving him. Read the 10 page biographies twice and youll make a 100 on the quizzes.The study guide is on point if you actually take time to answer the questions.He gives a 20 point bonus question on every test and tells you what it is on the study guide.Then he gives 25 points for volunteering. Easy!

Comment:

He is a wonderful guy, he really loves History. But his tests are harder than trying to stuff a camel into the back of a VW Golf. He doesn't really clarify well. He is very traditional, as far as life is concerned. If you dare to speak against his old timey ways, he will hit you with a brick he keeps around.

Comment:

Not a very good teacher. It is not the fact of the difficulty, it is that he does not clarify what you should really know. Way too many handouts, with information on them scattered throughout them, and you don't really learn much after the course is over. Would not recommend.
