Although his class seems easy at first, his lectures are hard to follow, there is no book, and no power points to read from> you take notes on what he says only. he gives you study guides before each test, but there is too much covered to study from. be ready for a stressful quarter

He is a good professor and knows his stuff when teaching even if his lectures are sometimes heavy. Although the attendance isnt mandatory for Lectures, if you miss class you wont get any Important information on the exams. Two Exams total, the midterm and one Final, one term paper and gives a chance for extra credit (writing another paper).

Hungate was a good professor if you like lecture heavy classes. He's pretty funny so a lot of the time his lectures can be amusing but he doesn't have slides, he just talks the whole time and you write down what he's saying. 3 tests, 1 essay on a (pretty good) documentary we watch in class but it's also on YouTube , 1 extra credit essay.

There is no book needed, so that means you must attend class to be prepared for the test questions on the exams. It's the small things that you'll be tested on, so you must take notes, but it's history so it is nothing too unfamiliar.

Prof. Hungate is the best lecture I've ever had. I never got bored in his class because his way of teaching was very fun, he lectured as if he were telling a story. I hated history in high school but this class made me start loving it. He's very passionate about what he teaches, which makes the class way more enjoyable and interesting.

This course comes with a lot of detail on the quiz. If you are not local American students and you didn't know everything about American history, you should take more time to prepare for the quiz. Your grand is based on quizzes and tests. The online based on the reading on the blackboard and the YouTube video lecture that the professor recorded.

A very straight forward professor and his syllabus is clear too. It's important to stay on top of lectures & take notes. He only grades 3 exams and there is an extra credit opportunity. He responds to emails relatively fast too. His class is asynchronous so that can either be in your favor or a disadvantage. Make sure to really study for exams.

Only 3 exams no other assignments. No zoom meetings. If you get a bad grade or miss an exam you automatically fail. His lectures were super long videos, and if you didnt watch them or read long excepts of books he posted, you wont pass the class. Beware of quizlets of the exams. This class seems easy, but poor work ethic can make you suffer.

If you could take a different professor, do it. He is an amazing lecturer, but you must watch sometimes 2 1 hour videos every week. Extremely draining
