He is enthusiastic and ready to answer all the questions that students may have. Easy going and refers textbook examples into your realistic lives for better understanding. I took his summer intensive class but I could have had it for longer semester. The course is not that easy but it's worth working hard for it. Overall fun times.

Professor Lituchy is a very passionate when it comes . His love for teacher is shown through his lectures and his attention to his students inquiries. His teaching style makes you feel like your actually there in the past. It was quite a trip down memory lane, so to speak. I will recommend his lecture to anyone who ask about history professors.

I took this professor twice and I am about to take him again. He is a great professor. His classes consists mostly of lectures but they are fun and captivating. His exams are all short response, but if you study you will do great. You only need a 75 I think to get an A on an exam. He gives three exams, one paper. No extra credit and no homework.

Professor Lituchy is an excellent, passionate, knowledgeable, and caring teacher. His grading criteria are clear from day one. He gives you one research paper and the exact questions to his exams 2 weeks in advance. It's a lot to look up, but pace yourself. Grades are curved. Work hard and you will learn a great deal of information and be ok!

his class is easy only when you fully pay attention in his lectures. he doesn't write everything on the board. he just talks the entire lecture. so either record his voice or write down EVERYTHING he says. because everything he says comes on test. so studying from your notes will make it easy and you'll get an easy A. he makes history so interestin

Prof. Litchuy is okay. His lectures are monotonous but it is interesting material. From time to time he likes a good laugh but then it's RIGHT BACK on track. I wouldn't take him again not because he's a bad professor but because my learning style doesn't match his teaching style.

Professor Lituchy is amazing, his lectures are very informative. Study the material he provides and do his paper and he will pass you no pressure. At first it may seem overwhelming because he is so into his lectures, but after his first exam you will see how easy his class is. Take him for History you won't regret it.
