Dr. Price is has very interesting letures, but his tests are CRAZY. You will see things on the tests that he never even talked about. He also wanted you to read about 150 pages in the text book for one test. If you like history, then take him...but if he don't...DO NOT TAKE!!!

Yes, he's difficult. But he's the professor that will weed out the freshmen that are in college and blow it off. He's serious about his subject. I'm taking him a second time because I know how he teaches. I studied my butt off for the first class, but I got an "A". If you want to pass, you need to study. There's no way around it!

He is SO hard. His exams are 20 multiple choice, 5 or more IDs and an essay question that has to be at least two pages long. He also teaches at LSU and gives us the same tests as LSU.

Dr. Price gives you a link to his lectures from which he literally reads off of during class. It is pointless to go to class unless you need to hear it to know it. The first 3 tests are on Moodle, which is good considering you can look up an answer if you don't know it. Downside, the final is in class and you basically teach yourself off of quizlet

Good professor, and a pretty good teacher. The class is all lectures, and there is a lot of notes to take. Then there are online lectures to go with them. And textbook readings. And then he isn't too specific on what exactly on the test. If you got to class, take notes, and read read read, its not too bad. Be prepared to carry your weight.

All the test except the final are taken on Moodle and all the answers are on quizlet sets so its really easy to pass the test. Going to class is difficult, he lets out early but its a lot of information and hard to keep up. He has powerpoint that you can't print out but has packets you can print. Final is cumulative, hard to study for

Mr. Price is awesome. First week of class he gave us a bonus test to be used on our first test. 4 tests 3 are online at home and the 4th is a 100 question cumulative final 60 on the last bit of material 40 on the entire semester. show up to class so you get his notes and what he talks about. His lectures are interesting and he throws jokes in too.

I have taken him for history 101 and history 201, he is outstanding in what he teaches, but his lectures are long. If you skip class you wont necessarily fail, but you wont be making anything above a C. He will try to help if you show up to class, just be sure not to sleep everyday. He does notice that and will be less willing to help if you sleep.

First 3 tests are fine because they are online but the final will definitely drop your grade. He was not specific about the things he wanted you to study. If you take History 101 choose someone else!

Dr. Price is so, so awesome! I'd totally recommend to get him. He's clear and his lectures are interesting. If you don't like history (it's not my favorite) he's still easy to follow and keeps your attention. He has pop quizzes, but they're to help you points-wise on the tests. Love this guy. TAKE HIM!

Professor Price is very passionate about what he teaches and writes up his own notes and posts them online to use instead of the textbook. His quizzes cover part of what was discussed in the previous class and the assigned reading. If you go to class and take notes, you can pass his tests. Loved having him!

I sent him an email asking about the class and he was very belligerent and rude with his response. He is very selfish and inconsiderate of another persons feelings. I would advise you not to take him.

I took his 1/2 semester online course. There was zero homework. 3 tests and a final. 2 extra credit papers. There is online lecture videos but it is impractical to have enough time to watch them. The tests are hard. Do not assume you can find the answers online, because you cant most of the time. Papers were optional but his topics were difficult.

Do not take this class unless you are ready to read lectures outside of class. Always be present in class also because he does bonus point quizzes before each of the four tests.

We only had 4 exams worth 100 points each, not other assignments were given. The option to write a paper for extra credit was offered but the amount of research needed to do well on the paper far outweighed the benefit of writing the paper. The material on tests is in his lectures but you are basically left to teach yourself. TONS of reading!

Dr. Price was great. I combined his lectures with kahn academy and youtube videos and did well. could have done better on my part but I also spent a lot of time on my other classes because this one didn't demand much. Four tests and the fourth one is the final. very straight forward. Each test is 50 questions I think. Derived evenly from the book.
