Easy class.

Really knows how to teach.

VERY NICE - Easy

good teacher has a goat-tee

the quizzes r so ez. the test i dont study and pull easy 80 on them i went to sleep in every class and still passed by just looking at his study guides he gives out.

This class is far from easy. The quizzes are not easy and the tests are definitly unclear.

mad good

Easy and nice. Kind of boring though.

THIS CLASS IS INTERESTING AND THE TEACHER DOES A GREAT JOB...

he's really good, the quizes are pretty easy too. The whole class is on 3 or 6 chapters if you read each chapter three times you will definately get an A.

like ppl said, the tests r really hard. have to read chapters a lot of times and still may not get good grade. if u dont like to read and not interested in history, dont take him.

You have to be willing to do alot of reading and make sure u stay awake in his class. Don't come late and dont talk alot. If u discipline urself you will come out with an A. Welcome to college

kind of strict like high school but he seems to really care about students who want to learn very organized and tells u exactly what and when he expects things from you fair teacher

He's a great professor. Quizzes are easy and the exams are quite tricky, but if you read the book, you'll do fine (it'll be an easy A). He's nice and helpfull, and also very organized.

he is very inspireing and makes his lectures interesting as long as you pay attention and read the book prior to the lecture. easy class if you read the book, he doesnt present the material only explains it

very nice man. he's organized to the point of seeming obsessive, but that's because he clearly loves his subject. it'll be peaches if you just do the learning thing: be punctual(!), read, pay attention, throw away your cell phone...

Took him while back. Very good teacher, just have to listen and skim through key words in book. Gives a lot of quizzes, but you can easily prepare. Got A- and didnt read a single chapter.

The easiest professor that has ever lived. He gives review sheets for each chapter what to skip, skim, read and review. Really what more can you ask for except for him to take the tests for you. Test questions only a lil harder than quiz ones. If you think he's hard, you're just a dumb ****.

excellent

No bad very easy cool take his class it wouldn`t be dissapointed

Excellent

Very good professor, just read the textbook and pay attention in class.

Very organized, not too easy, but do your work, and proof read it more than once and you will do fine. I worked my butt off and got an A so its possible, the rest r just slackers lookin for an easy A

First off he's a good guy. Willing to meet with you to help you out. But damn so much work! Never ending story with him. Super anal about grammar. Had 4 paper one presentation, an essay quiz and a bunch of smaller assignments. Making matters worse didn't learn much. Kinda focused on Medical History but not really. Not an easy A by any means.

Very hard grader. Obsessed over grammar and writing. Crazy about attendance! Avoid this professor!

People are wrong to complain of his attention to grammer and such. You should be able to write by now. But he is extremely strict overall with grading. Some flexibility should be given. Me and 2 friends were the best students in the class and we all got a B. He is very intelligent but unreasonable.

Very organized, knowledgeable, and passionate about history.If you can't write a decent essay by 4900 level, he's gonna make you pay for it.Expects students to be able to write clearly, correctly, and crtically.Maintains control of class discussions and runs a tight ship.Very professional and expects senior level performance in a senior level class

He is very knowledgeable and organized, but he is def one of the toughest teachers. He is a hard grader but it's acceptable. If you are the first to go on presentations he will give you a generous curve. He gives 1 quiz and 4 essays. Make sure you do not plagiarize bc he takes it very seriously and he will drop you from the class, no exceptions.

Pretty easy if you read the text and pay attention...he is a bit boring at time but he knows what he is talking about. I took him for His 3450

He gives you a lot of work and his exams are very tricky. He does give you review sheets but they don't do much. They just outline what you should know. I worked so hard in this class and got a B-. Take him if you are willing to read the textbook completely and willing to work hard for your grade.

What are these people talking about? This guy is SUCH an amazing professor. Granted, he is a bit emotional regarding the subjects, but he is SO intelligent, and is able to convey his knowledge so effectively. You actually learn in this class. You do have to study. Read the textbook and you will do FINE. Exams are not easy, but manageable. Got an A.

Very Good professor, He is very helpful and will help you out anyway possible. Gives optional projects to help boost your grade. Highly recommend you taking him.

THIS CLASS WAS GREAT. iT OPENNED A NEW WORLD FOR ME. ALOT OF WORK, BUT FASCINATING.

Very intelligent and tries to get his students involved in the work. Good in that he doesn't just lecture out of the textbook. Gives college tips to freshmen, so upperclassmen like me found him annoying at times. Very anal about routine and procedure. Challenge it and you'll get called out. Roll with his punches and you'll enjoy his class lectures.

His quizzes are easy but tests are hard and tricky. He's very intelligent and helpful. The worst part is that you have to memorize a lot, also Dont come in late.

he ia an exceptional professor, most professors dont take the time to help the class and he did. he gave a study guide for all the chapters he tested us on. it was very helpful. he gives extra credit quizzes that u memorize a paragraph and write it down . the test is okay but if u study the chapters it wont be hard. take him, it was a great class.

This class was fair. After taking an exam, he gives an outline of every single section of the textbook of what to read and focus on for the next exam. He gives 3 exams, 6 quizes, and 2 extra credit to replace two quiz grades. Very strict on attendence, lateness, and have seating arrangements. You MUST study on your own and go to class to get A.

Professor Hansen is very committed & has a passion for history. He gives 6 quizzes, 3 exams and 2 optional pieces to memorize which can replace a quiz grade. If u mess up on the 1st exam dont worry just improve on the other exams and he'll bump ur grade up. If he says it in class its IMPORTANT. he gives study guides and show video clips for clarity

I appreciate having a Prof who has a such a deep interest in the subject. I am so glad I took his class because I learned how to be on time. In the real world you can't be late all the time. I wasn't interested in history before but now i am! He really is fair in his grading. I really think he's the best teacher I have had yet.

Don't understand why everyone dislikes him. He very clearly sets out rules, and if you stick to them, pay attention, and do the work you'll do well. I'm still taking it and so far I have an A, so no big deal. I suspect the ones complaining just don't want to put in the work. That's too bad, but this is COLLEGE, hello?

He's really passionate about history, and he's really into his rules. DO NOT BREAK his rules, he will find you doing so and he will totally drop you. The class is doable if you read the textbook and generally pay attention, but he really is a tool about his stupid ass rules and ATTENDANCE, be there early and follow the rules.

Gives 3 exams 6 quizzes & 2 optional. Not as bad as it sounds b/c its very easy, & on the chapter & his lecture, I aced everything. There are only 8 chapters he covers in the txtbk. He shows movies all the time so time flies, but pay attention to it. Only bad thing is that his lectures are really boring, but copy his notes & you can doze off after.

he is strict.you have to come to class and study at home.he gives the class study guide.if you come to class and study the book,you will do well.

He's extremely strict. Make sure you take good notes too, as a lot of the test and quizzes come from class. There were 6 quizzes, 2 EC that can replace quizzes and 2 midterms. The test are alright if you pay attention in class. As for the final, it's not really cumulative. Persevere, I got an 86 on the first midterm, then jumped to 96 on the 2nd.

VERY ANAL! He keeps tract of everything, so if you are lazy and late all the time don't even think about taking him. He is very clear and passionate about History. Take good notes, and read EVERYTHING he tells you to.

Just be on time and use the notes you take in the class. It is possible to get an A-. His tests are way too easy, but the exams are tricky, yet doable. Even though I wanted to sleep all the time during his lectures, I learnt something about America.

It is possible to get an A actually if you do your readings and write decent short answer responses on the exams. There is a lot of room to improve your grade & do well in this course. I don't understand why so many people dropped. He cried while talking about FDR and is very passionate about history. Make sure to be on time, one minute late counts

Excellent professor! Probably one of the most prepared and enthusiastic i've seen at Baruch. Has a lot of resources and is very helpful. You learn a tremendous amount.

Professor Hansen is a great professor, I just wish that all my other professors at Baruch would teach this way. He is very clear about his expectations and his lectures are crystal clear. I took the Jan course so READING a must. But definately possible to achieve a high grade and learn at the same time.

alot of reading and quizzes every week.... but he curves tho failed the first exam then passed the second and thrid finally got a b.. just read the text book and u will be fine.... like seriously read the text book

Quizzes and Exams are relatively straight forward, just pay attenion and do his readings and you'll be fine. He gives handouts for every chapter that outlines everything he wants. Assigned seating and mandatory attendance, but we're not children,, so follow his rules until class is over and everything will be fine.

TAke him! A lot of work: 6 quizes, 2 optionals( that can substitute your low grade), 3 exams. Just pay attention to what he says during classes.Take good notes, read the book and you ll be fine. Study ONLY what is mentioned in his handouts. No need to learn more. I am a foreigner, got A.

Great Professor! Superbly organized and detail oriented!Knows his subject very well and likes his job. The course load is quite managable but labor intensive. I took the class in Jan and we had quizes and exams every week. All you need to do is show up ON TIME, take notes, read the book and will be fine, + his lectures are interesting.Take him !

Professor Hansen is an absolutely wonderful history professor. He is extremely passionate about the course and makes his class interesting. You MUST read the assigned chapters at least twice to be fully prepared for exams.He gets slightly emotional when teaching about Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address... truly an amazing and impassioned professor!

Great professor, knows his history and the class is never boring. Take him if you get the chance!

He truly loves the topics he teaches. As long as you stay awake and do the assigned reading, it's an interesting, rewarding, and ultimately pleasant class.

Prof. Hansen made me view American history in a truly different light and perspective. He is by far one of the best professors at Baruch and he makes his class absolutely fascinating. If only all professors were as fervent, organized, and inspiring as he is. I will miss this class tremendously and everyone should take him if given the opportunity!

If you love history, he is the best!

He can come off as demanding, but it's only because he's extremely organized.DO NOT let him catch you with your phone out. He's a pretty cool guy overall and breathes and lives for history. It's actually very inspiring. He's also kinda funny sometimes. Don't slack off and you'll be alright.

Class is a joke. Dumb easy. Especially considering most people have studied this topic 5 times before in either highschool or elementary school. Highly suggest taking this class.

If you read the textbook you'll do well on the test. Class lecture can get a bit boring at times. He explains everything clearly and sometimes use movie scenes to help explain his point. He's really enthusiastic to teach history.

Fall 2014 was his last semester. Very passionate about the subject, he even cried during a lecture and clear with his grading. However if you are not American or went to high school in America it will take a lot of reading and follow up questions to get a good grade because it is all basic US history

Great Professor. It's a lot of reading to do if you want to do good on the exams.
