Super easyyyyy

I took his class last year and he still amazes me, but some of this TA's leave much to be desired.

He was really interesting and made learning about history fun. You don't take exams in class instead he gives you an essay to write at home. Really great class overall!!

Dr Jones is a nice and approachable guy, his lectures are easy to follow and very entertaining... he loves to keep the students engaged in his lectures by asking them questions, asking for opinions etc.. I definitely recommend this class.. (take it if you don't mind walking all the way to the REC center!!)

He was a good teacher. He knows what he is doing. All the exams are take home, but all of them are essays. You have to attend class b/c if u miss 3 days then he starts taking off points for ur absence. Other then that he's easy if u attend class and listen to his lectures....I RECOMMEND!

No memorizing of names or dates in his class.Though I can't guarantee it for the future, there were only take-home essays rather than midterms/final.Assigned to one journal entry each week which took about 1.5-2 hours each; that is, if you'd like to get an A for sure.Attending class makes it a lot easier to do well.Not interesting, not educational.

I took his 9:30 am class and his screaming voice was sure to wake me up.

Great lecturer. I've always found history boring, but the way he lectures makes it worth listening too. Attendance is not mandatory, but he takes roll randomly throughout the semester 10 times, each worth 10 point. Online quizzes each week are fairly easy if you can navigate wikipedia. Midterm/Final are take home essays. Would take again.

I felt the class was a breeze. Good lecturer, however, grades are given by GA's. Attendance in lecture is not mandatory except for friday small group discussions and readings with GA. All exams are take home short essays. Not difficult to do, as long as you understand how to write well developed paragraphs and expanded ideas. Cheers

I have learned sooo much about history from his class. Jones def makes history a lot more interesting. however, your grade depends on your GA. All exams are take home essays and theres quite a bit of reading in his class. didnt really use my book at all only need it for citing when writing essays. good luck :)

I no interest in this subject prior to taking it, but he definitly opens you eyes to a part of this county's history. If you attend regulary and participate, then you should have no problem in doing well. Best advice would be to accept the help they offer for the take home exams.

Dr. Jones is an amazing teacher. He's test are essays that youh have a week to complete so they are really easy for the most part. Attendance is mandatory because he uses daily clicker questions to check attendance but his lectures are interesting for the most part. I highly recommend this teacher. Easy high grade for sureD

Great professor! Had him for 2 classes this semester and I'm a better student for it. Lot's of reading, but if you stay on top of it, you'll do fine. Very easy to communicate with and get help from when you need it. Highly recommend taking any of his classes!

Jones is a fantastic teacher and really knows his stuff. You must read all the assigned books and really put effort in the essays if you want to get a good grade. He's funny and the lectures are never boring. He's also very approachable. Just a great teacher.

Awesome Professor. He talks really fast during the lectures, but it's because there's so much to learn and so little time. Attendence for lectures aren't mandatory, but the discussion classes on Friday are. Lots of reading. The midterm and final are take home essays. I hated history with a passion, but he made it interesting.

Lectures isnt mandatory, he doesnt do the clicker. Friday meeting are mandatory and make sure to read the packet. There is a lot of writing in this class (essays) but the test are take home essays. You have to particapate in the friday class, you have to talk.

Honestly, I did not learn about American History prior to this class, and it was so easy! Lectures are fun, but can also get boring. But Friday classes helped so much! And I like his grading system. Easy take home essays.

Dr. Jones is a really good lecturer, you really just have to be motivated to go to class and take notes. the things he lectures about usually stick in your head, especially after Friday discussions. He's a great professor

Class was easy, lectures are not mandatory but Friday discussions are. You have to print a 100 page packet at the beginnig of the semester for the discussions. Tests are take home essays. Get a week to do your midterm. He's a great techer and funny as well.

All around legit professor. Makes history actually appealing. Writing skills definitely needed, you really cant bs your way out of the curriculum

He's a handsome guy! He talks fast but feel free to slow him down! I advise you attend his class a lot because the final & midterms are based on what notes you take & the course readings.

Took a summer class with Dr Jones. Very thorough and knowledgable. Energetic and enthusiastic.

There is no attendance so you don't have to go. I skipped some days. Just goto the discussion days which are very friday. The midterm and final are take home essays and you have a week to do them. They are not that bad. I got a A in the class

Just went to Friday group class and that's all you need to pass. Only two papers and the homework is easy.

Very intelligent and passionate. At times unclear in grading but super helpful if you ask for it and understanding. Assigns 4 books write on 2, 1midterm, 1final. Great class learned very much from lectures and assigned readings. Wish had taken more classes with this professor. attendance not mandatory but lectures are essential & necessary to pass.

You do not get a study guide for the midterm or final. You need to take really good notes on the powerpoints. You have to do the readings and the precise or you will not pass the class. When you don't understand something he is there for you to help you understand the subject better

I might be a little biased because I really enjoy History, but I absolutely Loved Prof. Jones class and lectures! He explains everything so well, and had slideshows for every lecture. There are 2 tests (a midterm and a final) and minimal homework assignments.

He's really enthusiastic with what he teaches and explains well. Attendance didn't count but in order to pass this class you have to show up for lecture to get notes. Those notes are based on whats going to be on the tests. Great class. I will take this professor again for any class.

Solid teacher, I'm not much of a history person but he definitely made the class interesting. Honestly, All you have to do is take notes and read the weekly reading assignments

This professor is AMAZING! And even if you're not a history major, he makes the class fun and exciting. I take this class w/ english & its a M-W lecture w/ a Friday discussion class. Make sure to do weekly assignments and STUDY and READ the essay prompts carefully or you WILL fail. There are 2 tests, 3 essays and 1 Documentary (group). WORK HARD!!

I absolutely loved going to this class! I really enjoyed his lectures, and the help is there if you need it. There is a lot of work involved that is due weekly on Fridays. You go to Prof. Jones lectures on Monday and Wednesday then go to your assigned teacher aide on Fridays. Not an easy A, but it is very interesting material.

Attend lectures,u will need the notes for midterm4 short responses and essay + final1 short essay & 1 long essay + the 2 essays that are 2-3 pgs long in order to cite him. He kinda talks fast so it will be helpful to record him. Alot of work due on Friday; alot of group work, sucks if they lag since u have to do all. 2 Extra credit 15points total

Attendance is not mandatory but will help you with the two essays, midterm, and final. Midterm and final are written responses no multiple choice. A lot of group work also there is a video documentary that You need to do in a group. He does give out extra credit opportunities. Definitely not an easy A

Brad is not a bad teacher. He tries to make lectures fun for the most part but he is easily distracted and talks so fast he can't finish his own sentences. I enjoyed his class for the majority, but his tests were hard for me (but I also have little interest in learning history). The 2nd half of the class which was friday classes got annoying.

Mr. Jones was a very good instructor. He is straight forward with his students, and tries to keep a lively energy so that his students will retain what they learn from his lectures. Attendance was not mandatory but keep in mind participation is important for points. If you need to take a history class take it with him!

Mr. Jones was a great professor. His lectures were very interesting. His exams weren't so bad either. He provided sample essay questions in which we studied off of. I really enjoyed his class. Definitely take History 11 with him!!!

I took Hist 11 in Winter and it was super easy with him. pop-up quizzes one midterm and final. also he wants you to talk and think, if your shy, he'll call on you LOL.

Dr. Jones is an expert . He has said that he focuses more on the American Revolution, but he knows the course material very well, like very well. He wants his students to think critically and engage in class, which means participation is a big portion of your grade. I had MW + Friday discussion the TA was a tough but overall I really enjoyed going.

Dr. Jones is an amazing teacher and his IA's are great as well. I had his lecture on MW + Friday class with Ms. Solis. He talks fast, but if you have questions he'll slow down a bit. There are 2 essays that are worth about 45% of your grade, and the midterm and final were really tough but not impossible to pass as long as you study hard.

Consists of low level comprehension multi choice quizzes, 2 precis (4 book options), and a midterm and final (multi choice and essay). Show up + take copious notes on what he says during the lectures and readings easy A on the multi choice. Slow pacing bothered me (spent a disproportionate amount of time on the Stamp Act) but I learned plenty.

I took the upper division history writing course with Jones and I really enjoyed it. He gave really good feedback and was always there in his office hour to help you with the material or guide you in the right direction.

Teaches history like a story. He is really funny and if you participate in class he will learn your name despite being in a class of 100+ kids. There is a few quizzes, an essay, a midterm, and a final. Quizzes are take home and open note, essay turns out better if you go to his office hours, tests mainly consist of free response essay. Recommended

Really enjoyed Professor Jones's lectures. He really knows how to get the class engaged in what he's talking about. Gives out really easy quizzes, a midterm, final, and assigns one essay. Group participation matters. 100% would recommend taking his class.

Great professor. The textbook is free online. Writing assignment every week on Google Drive (VERY EASY). He does have a powerpoint when lecturing but there are just bullet points for like the dates and names. You'll have to listen to him and write what he says to get the notes. Divides the class for the 1000 word essay.

I highly recommend his class. He teaches history likes a story and despite the large class size, he gets people involved in a positive way. There is a very light work load and quizzes with multiple attempts. Attendance is not necessary but everything you learn is from lectures. He's a lot of fun while still learning a lot.

It's hard to zone out during his lectures. Prof. Jones is very dynamic, always moving around the lecture hall and getting volunteers to answer questions. Funny too. He has made history an interesting subject for me. Jones is knowledgable in the subject and never relies off powerpoints. Overall, very interesting class, always entertaining!

I would recommend this class pretty easy. the essay's are like 3 pages and the quizes are easy and found on quizlet. lectures are not mandatory but class meeting are but thats only once a week. He doesn't make you get the book so you save extra cash the book is found online for free.

He is a funny guy, and likes to open up lectures with short stories about his life that gets the audience's attention. He seriously knows his stuff. Slides are not useful to copy down, because there's not much on them and he just talks the whole time, so pay attention. Did tend to end class late with the timing, but he had a lot to offer.

Jones is cool! Writing assignments on the weekends are easy to bs, it's mostly asking for your opinion on stuff. use a computer to take notes during class because he talks fast. Tests are short and the questions come from quizzes already taken, so it's hard to fail a test. Go to Friday instructor classes, your grade will thrive if you just show up.

important lectures that are amazing to listen to (must hand take notes), midterm and final are essay based, minimal HW, one major essay (get his input before submitting it to better your grade. he makes history fun and does not over whelm you with readings. best HIST Proff at state, get him and youll pass, study your notes and readings

He is a great professor! Super easy class. Just pay attention in lecture and do your weekly writings and you will get an A.

Jones is a great history professor, I highly recommend taking him for History11! He makes the class and history in general fun and interesting. He had very informative lectures which were easy to follow along. As long as you complete your assignments you will be fine. Try to participate in discussions!

15 weekly quizzes but easy A if you watch the lectures. Midterm and Final and offers some extra credit. Weekly reading and reflective assignments but nothing too bad. Jones is an amazing professor and a wonderful human! Take this class you won't regret it, for sure made me love history!

I took this class when it transitioned to online and I liked the whole dynamic of it. The schedule was for MWF, but there are no live meetings on MW because you just watch a lecture and take a quiz on your own and then you review it on F with an instructor and a group of students which you have to participate in.

Doesn't assign too much work to the answers to the weekly quizzes are in the lecture videos so make sure to watch the lecture. He was an easy grader who didn't grade too hard and I like how the class was only online on Fridays and just lecture and a quick assignment MW

I honestly did not interact with the professor too much because he would post the lecture & quiz on Monday, reading response on Wednesday, & the Reflection assignment on Friday after discussion w/the SI Instructor. SI instructor was great though. Dr. Jones was easy to reach & gave clear critiques. 2 papers that were not long at all, along w/exams.

I took this class online so it was a little different. Since there were so many students we were separated into groups with a Friday instructor. Every week we had a lecture that was posted by Dr. Jones along with a quiz which was super easy. Then on Fridays you will meet with your instructor to discuss the lecture. Exams were essays.

Professor Jones is honestly such a great professor. This class was interesting and engaging for me especially because history is not a subject I am really interested in. The work is easy and straightforward and his lectures are great. Easy A overall!

As long as you do the work, you should be fine! The lectures were extremely informative and helpful, especially towards our midterm and final. Make sure to write down notes during the lectures. Also, depending on your SI instructor, you need to participate during zoom meetings. Those meetings and participation will count towards your grade.

Dr.Jones was a very understanding professor and actually made the lectures interesting. Usually a quiz at the end of the week but if you attend the lectures you will for sure understand the quiz. There are around 2 assignments due each week but pretty easy. Overall an easy class and also learn a lot.

The BEST professor! He is so understanding and really makes the class enjoyable. There were 2 reading/writing assignments per week but they were very informative. There is a quiz online each week but everything pertains to the lectures so take good notes! The requirements were clear, I definitely recommend this class!

He's the best! Literally the nicest teacher and he ACTUALLY responses if you email him. Theres short quizzes once a week based off of the lecture; the answers are in the notes you take attending the class. Final was 2 part questions. First question was 1 page; second question was 2-3 pages. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. He is literally the nicest, most down to Earth guy. He is always willing to help and will make you laugh while doing it. I would take his class every semester if I could.

He is a great professor and is really caring to what his students are up to and what they do in their lives. His class is lecture heavy but likes to get his students involved so it makes it more entertaining. there is weekly quizzes but they are easy if you have notes or at least show up to class.

10/10. Understanding, funny, and kind.

Dr. Jones is an amazing professor who makes history interesting! His lectures are engaging--you do not have to read the textbook if you show up to class. Participation is key in this class. Midterms and finals are both essays, but he makes himself available for help.

Dr. Jones has very good lectures with lots of audience interaction, very entertaining lectures but for me they were very boring. Necessarily, you could miss out on the lectures and still pass the class without any difficulty, he has a few assignments and as long as you do them you will easily pass the class. HIST 11

The way class was set up was that MW were lecture days and F you were with a grad student, and that was mandatory! Loved the class, and I am not a big history person, but he made it fun, and the HW was super easy just make sure you read the article (barley 2 pages) and you'll be good!!

The mandatory aspect is that on Fridays, you must go with your assigned grad student where participation matters!! His lectures are really fun and this is coming from someone who does not like history much; he always makes them engaging and non boring. HW wise it was just 2 assignments a week and had some sort of reading which was not long.

Does not take attendance, however highly recommend going to class as his course is lecture heavy. Talks a lot but open to questions and perspectives. Take good notes for final essays and discussions. I did not buy a textbook, he used a textbook online which was free to access.

Highly recommend to take this course during the summer. Completely online with the ability to work at your own pace. Weekly quizzes with lectures to accomodate them. Paper was easy and he provided good feedback. Would take again.

My favourite history teacher ever. He is very engaging and makes history fun. He knows his stuff!

As long as you are in engaged in the class you will have an amazing time. Easily the best history professor I've ever had.

Take this class! Such an amazing and understanding professor, and makes learning history very interesting!

He kept the vibe in the classroom fun and lively. He is nice and communicates well. His powerpoints are easy to follow and take notes. One of few history teachers I enjoyed having. You should definitely take this instructor!

Best professor on campus. Easy class and very interactive. Attendance is not mandatory, but highly encouraged. Very easy, simple assignements that take no more than 5 minutes. Not sure how much he gets payed, but give him a raise either way!

Dr. Jones is a fantastic professor! Lectures are clear, engaging, and tied to short weekly readings. The workload is light, consisting of one response, quiz, and reflection each week. Assignments are easy, and the midterm & final are in-class essays based on lecture content. Highly recommend!

Dr.Jones is always proactive during lecture, never wasting a single minute of his class time! He's passionate about his job and always encourages students to discuss the readings. The lecture helps with writing your midterm and final, so show up! Nothing heavy, one reading, one quiz, and a reflection response per week.

professor bradley was AMAZING! he genuinely cares about his students and goes out to even learn a great deal of their names. work is very easy, tests are easy, and he is just the sweetest guy. would take him for every class if i could!

This class is not mandatory, but I did attend almost all of them. Bradley gets in depth with everything and the weekly readings and assignments are not hard. I would complete them during class while listening to him. It helps you not forget about them because they are due at 10pm usually rather than midnight. Take him! So worth it!

Dr. Jones is great, he wants you to succeed in the class, and he always tries his best at offering his help to us. Only eight assignments in total, all part of a large research proposal we complete at the end of the semester. You meet with him one on one twice, and at the end of the semester your final grade is determined based on what you've done.

Professor Jones is one of the best history professors at Fresno state. I don't like history very much but his lectures were so interesting that I ended up really liking learning in his class. There's weekly assignments that you have to keep up on but they're not hard at all. It's an easy class but you will learn a lot.

This was a very enjoyable class! I took it for a GE requirement and ended up loving it. Attendance is mandatory, but the class goes by fast. The professor is bubbly, funny, and very friendly—he really takes the time to talk to students. There are weekly readings with questions and quizzes, and assignments are due at 10 AM.

Professor Jones is amazing! As someone who struggled with history a lot, he made it very easy and enjoyable. He is very funny and clearly cares about his students. If you need to take history 11, take his class!!!!
