makes history very interesting

He is very cool and likes the LA Lakers.

He makes his class entertaining. You have to have good memorization skills because you have to memorize potential essay questions that are going to be on his tests. He is a fair grader

He gives you every question he will ever ask you when you buy your book. He'll add three or four questions to separate the class a little, but basically just memorize the questions and you will breeze through with an A.

Knows history like the back of his hand, very easy to understand and absorb.

Knows his history. Makes history fun. Tests are easy--all memorization. Take him!

Great professor, part comedian/part professor. If you fall asleep he wont bother you. Tests are essays format. Questions given before the tests. Just have to memorize them and right essay before hand. Damn i wish all classes were like this.

He is so much fun! all you have to do is study the questions in his book... if i can get an A you can too! it's E Z!

Very easy class and extremely easy teacher! Knows everything about history! Class is kind of boring, and he takes attendance everyday and counts it as part of your grade. Tests are very easy! Easy class to take!!

all u have to do is take simple notes and study a little for the test- easy A. this guy is funny - its a good history class.

excellent prefessor! Easy calss! you'll learn a lot. :)

he knows his stuff, well qualified instructor.

Great Teacher.. Hate History but loved the class.. Doesn't let you get bored. Very easy to comprehend

I'll miss him. So much fun and easy A. I hate History but somehow I enjoyed it this time. Highly recommended. Enjoy and write more CSUN reviews please!! we need more reviews... Later.

Easy A. he gives the questins to all the tests. Even corrects the essays for you before you take the essay tests. Friendly and makes lectures fun.

Wonderful class!!! I've always hated history, but he made it enjoyable and easy to remember. Class was very easy. As long as you look over the questions he gives you, there should be no problem getting 'A's on the tests.

the multiple choice part is easy. essay questions are given, and as long as u study those and get them checked, the class is easy to pass.

great teacher

He sells his notes, so you don't need to buy the book. The tests are easy to study for b/c they're in his notes, but he expects waaay too much writing and remembering simple details on the essay tests.

his multipal choice questions are in the book study and youll do fine.

Great professor, very funny and makes subject interesting and easy. Provides multiple choice & essay questions before the exams. Highly recommend!

The class is not very hard if you study. If you are not great at writing essays it can be challenging. He gives the essay and multiple choice questions before hand, so if you study those it shouldnt be too hard. Good professor.

GREAT TEACHER! Very entertaining to sit through the lecture and very comedic. Made class very fun to go to even though it was just lecture. Grades quite strict on essays but is fair. Willing to compromise if you mess up on one essay test.

He's a must take! He's lectures are fun and intresting! I never liked or learned anyhting about history till I was in his class! He's tests are easy, straight from the book questions! He's esssays are the toughest but are duable...you just need to study..

reynolds is a funny guy... and i learned a lot from his lectures. you really don't have to go to class. tests are straight forward, he even gives you the EXACT questions before the test! Essays are a pain, 50% of final grade.

Very cool professor. Takes attendance...multiple choice easy....essays require you to work a little (but very helpful TA to help you out) Lectures interesting and as funny as history can possible be. Got an A- with minimal studying.

He is fun! It is important to attend class. Test is directly from the book. If you read the book, then your fine!

He is a smart guy, knows his stuff. The tests are pretty straight forward just study your book. He does take random attendance so be careful and u will be fine. Got a B in class and I rarely studied.

GREAT teacher. funny and he's the only teacher by far that made me pay attention in class n d subject history. I learned alot w/ his lectures. Very intelligent and he's into what he's teaching and thats awesome. only history class i liked.

He is super funny and knows his stuff. I recommend taking him for this class. You will truely learn alot. Exams are not hard at all. Just show up to class and take notes and you should be fine.

if you pass this class you are lucky! ?

Very funny and interesting! He gives you the exact multiple choice questions and essay questions

Wow, a great teacher! It doesn't get much easier than this class, plus, he's an interesting teacher. The book has all the questions and answers you'll need for the midterm and final. He also gives u the essay questions. Such an easy class, but also a great guy.

One of the best teachers ive ever had. very funny and actually makes history interesting!

This class might be tough for those who dont like writing essays because 70% of the grade is 2 essays, but his lecture is extremely interesting. He's the best professor I could ever meet in my life. you never get bored in his class.

Best history teacher ever! Class is not hard. He is funny and interesting. TA was very helpful too! LOVED HIM!

Dr. Reynolds is a great teacher. He's very passionate and knowledgable about history. Highly recomended.

Very good teacher... take this guy!!!

THIS IS THE ONLY TEACHER TO TAKE FOR HISTORY. HE WILL KEEP YOU TOTALLY ENTERTAINED! HE IS SO EASY GOING AND FUNNY. THE MULTIPLE CHOICE PART OF THE TEST IS WAY EASY, BUT YOU BETTER BE VERY VERY DETAILED ON HIS ESSAYS. HE IS PICKY ABOUT DETAIL. BUT, OVERALL GREAT CLASS!!

I like the way he has organized his class. You really don't need to worry about this class until exams are near. He gaves multiple choice questions and answers in his book that you can study for the multiple choice test b/c they have the same exact answers. Basically, study real well on your essay.

Class is straight-forward, and he's a cool guy, but "if you're an A student" you should take the whole time to write the essays - which are worth most of your grade. So if you don't like writing essays and don't like history, choose someone else.

Great teacher, makes the subject extremely interesting.....Take this guy. The tests are easy as long as you study the answers (which he gives you)

Funny guy and very easy. He is intelligent and has great sense of humor. I had good time attending in his classes and even better time writing the tests. He gives the answers all u need is to study the answers and u served an A to yourself.

Reynolds is the ish!! I love this guy. The multiple tests are easy because the answers are in the book. The essay tests are relatively easy if you take a LOT of notes (if mostly fill up the blue book you're sure to get an A). I even hated history but after taking his class I loved it.

Great Professor.Gives students a better understanding of the US and its involvement in world affairs.He is one of the best history teachers I have taken and I wish he taught upper division courses.He is really funny too!!!

This guy is amazing. The lectures were the best I've had so far and probably ever. He perfectly outlines history in a matter of 50 minutes. The guy is funny and will tell you lots of funny funny stories that relate to history. Definately take the class, it's easy and enjoyable and Prof Reynolds just makes it even better.

Reynolds is the best History professor I have ever had in my life! His tests are easy considering that he gives the answers for the multiple choice ones in his lecture book. Buy the lecture book because that is all you need. I hated History until I took his class. No one I have talked 2 has said something bad about Reynolds.

He makes history interesting by putting it into perception. Takes attendence but it's not that bad cause class isn't very boring. ONLY GET HIS TEXT WITH HIS LECTURE NOTES. You won't even use the other text and it'll just be a waste of money. He has 2 essays and 3 multiple choice, but the multiple choice are straight out of his text. Good class

ok people, this isn't grade school anymore, why does he take attendance and make it count towards your grade? great professor, not as easy as people cook him up to be. grade-wise, he's over rated. but great professor, great lecturer.

this is teacher is the one to take for history 271, trust me!

very easy.... gives 3 multiple choice tests 10 percent each.. all u have to do it memorize the answers from the book./.. then theres 2 essay test... 30 percent each .. just read about it and you'll do fine.. the only bad thing is attendance you'll never know when he'll take attendance so just try to show up all the time..

Great Professor, hate history but this guy makes it interesting. I would take any of his classes

Great teacher, easy tests, funny, easy essays, all you need to do is memorize practice questions for mult choice tests. A and A.

This guy is a breath of fresh air in a school largely run by imbicels. Straightforward, honest, extremely knowledgeable, and does his best to make everything relevant.

I loved this class. If you're an intellectual who loves History and wants a Professor who actually knows what he's talking about take Reynolds. I learned so much in this class. Be aware that you will have to write essays in this class and the tests are not

This class is very interesting and I like Professor Reynolds because he's very easy to teach history. You can find all the answers in his lecture book that will be on the midterms and finals. The essays are a little hard, you just have to study hard and memorize the essays.

Kept me interested. Easiest "A" I ever earned.

He's great. He's very interesting. Doesn't take role much. Always telling you about his carribean cruises in class. You want to be in his class. He's funny too. Best History class I've ever taken

The lectures are very interesting, very clear, and the book for the class is an outline of everything he lectures about. He really makes the subject interesting, and the tests are extremely easy. Take him if you want to breeze by and learn something at the same time.

holy**** this is the easiest class ever! you need to take it. its all about memorising for the multiple choice ( its in the freaking book!! literally!! ) and the essays. his t.as are a pain in the ass (well only one of them) but he himself is great! very sexy! sit in the front and you will be MESMORISED by his beautiful eyes.hot body!!!

straightforward class, 3 multiple choice exams, 2 essays. dont buy the text just the outline book he authored. attend class and study for the exams theyre easy. hard to fail. oh btw, awesome guy. DEFINIVELY RECOMMENDED.

3 multiple choice exams (just need to memorize). 2 essay exam (drop the lowest score & his ta's correct the essays). 1 essay final exam. attendance required (part of the grade). very straight foward & easy to get an a. i loved this class! it's a must take!

very easy...very cool...take her for hist 271 4 sure or another hist class if he teaches any.,,,

Very laid back, funny, knowlegeable guy. DEFINITELY take Reynolds, you won't regret it. The multiple choice tests are so easy, I could take them with my eyes closed. Don't buy the textbook, just the outlines. Essays are challenging but there are only 2; just study and it'll be fine. I got an easy A.

One of the best professors. I actually learned something in his class. Very easy. I got a B+ in his class. Highly recommended! Excellent and very funny guy!

while hes a nice guy and super easy just know hes TAs are the ones you need to be friendly with. they grade everything and he just double checks. steve batham is one of the TAs. don't get me wrong though, reynolds is awesome too just an FYI. easy A though either way. he does randomly take role-likes ppl to come to lecture, its fun though. hes chill

this is the best professor ever, not only is he fun but you learn alot. he is great and he isnt monotone. He is the best teacher at csun

he'll give u the answer 2 the multiple choice & all u have 2 do is study them. also, essay exams are pretty easy. his ta's grades them & prof recheck them. show up often bkuz he randomnly takes roll. this class should be fun and easy.

easy class, the only way you can fail is if you're trying to fail. the 3 multiple choice exams are easy and for the essay just prepare ahead of time because those are the most important. take this class he's a funny guy.

HILARIOUS Prof. Great stories, clear lectures. MC exams are super easy as long as you memorize the MC quizzes from his lecture book (so don't buy textbook). On the essay exams, study for the 1 question that'll most likely appear on exam day to the max (that's how I studied). Random attendance checking. 2 midterms, 1 final. Got an A in the class.

I love his class, I would take it again if I could. Anyway his class consists of multiple choice tests and 2 blue book assignments. Which are ALL in the book!!! only buy the purple one because the other one you dont need at all. plus, he's really really HOT!

Great class & teacher. Interesting lectures. He ties in current events and he gets really into the information. I would recommend him for any history class

Kind of boring, but he only checks the attendance of the people who are constantly gone...he is always gone and he sends a grad student to teach so you can leave...newspaper and history projects are lame, but tests are easy...if you take him, take him early in the morning because he wont bother you that much...

Professor Reynolds is a wonderful teacher. He practically gives you the test but you will more than likely find yourself going to his lectures because they are so interesting. History was boring until I took his course. I enjoy how he teaches. He teaches history as if it were a soap opera. He's a great guy, funny too.

I am always worried about history because I usually don't like it but I recommend this teacher to anyone. His lectures are awesome, if you don't finish an essay exam - he lets you just outline the points you were planning on making. Plus, he practically gives you the tests before hand. Only takes role sometimes. way interesting. take this professor

AN AMAZING TEACHER! Professor Reynolds not only knows history but he will make it interesting! the only history class that i didn't fall asleep in. If you go to class (attendance is mandatory) and take notes then you will be fine. ps if you fail this class or get anything less than a b, you're not meant to be in college.

Excellent prof. Very clear and makes history very interesting. The multiple choice questions are exactly from the study guide book, 3 story books to read (borrow them from the library instead of buying). The essay portion of test is a bit hard, must be very detailed.

Here's the deal never takes attendance and his test come straight from the book, WHICH HE GIVES THE ANSWERS TOO. but a lot of busy work assigns a lot of projects that he just check for completion. Easy A if you do all the busy work. Tests are a free A

He is such a great guy. He gives you the answers to the multiple choice tests in his book and lets you know the essay questions for the final. He is an easy teacher for those who are not history buffs and his trips to exotic places are worthwhile!

Awesome teacher. He made history really interesting. He is funny and easy to listen to. I bought the book and never opened it once. You only need the book he wrote with the outlines in it. All of the multiple choice questions are taken directly from his book.

Cool Class. He made history sound like gossip, which made it fun. His class is like a huge story. I liked it. All the test Q&As are in his outline book, which is the only book you need. He tells you all the assignments at the begging n you hav all semester to do them. Just do the work & don't expect him to care your problems.

3 MC from the book he wrote...word by word...just memorize(30%). 2 Essay(60%)...gives you 5 questions to study and you pick one of 3 on the test...gives questions first day of class. 10% attendance..takes it randomly. I'm a history major and got a B. You figure out how I manage that ;-) P.S. - He is the best teacher you can take for GE - U.S. HIST

he class was fun, explained things very well and made history interesting. i would recommend him but i think that he expects a little too much with the essays :/

He's so passionate about what he teaches and it's amazing how he recalls everything off the top of his head. He doesn't bring anything with him to class when he lectures. His MC tests are really easy cause it's all memorization. His essays are a little harder, but you get the questions word for word. all you've gotta do is study.

The fat man is easy. All you need to do is study for the tests, do his book reports, and have some good writing skills so the TA's dont torture your essay exam.

He loves and knows what he is doing. WOW this professor is a great GPA booster. MEMORIZE the answers to mult choice exams in the book and u have an A. The essay questions are already given too! NONE of the exams are cummulative. BEST teacher ever. and you actually remember things he talks about. Pretty funny guy too.

Study hard and you'll get an A. He's a great speaker. Don't miss class. Besides, his lectures are interesting.

he is a good teacher, but if you a heavy sleeper, don,t bother. 8am kills most students

This is the easiest history class ever. All you do is use ONE book for everything. Dont bother buying the actual textbook, just buy the paperback one that he wrote. It's all in outline form. Tests are taken DIRECTLY from the book, just memorize the multiple choice. Essays can be tricky but that also comes down to memorization. SUPER EASY!GREAT NAPS

He makes history interesting. Only buy the red book with his class outlines. It has all his lectures and the answers to the questions he uses on multiple choice exams. He's a pretty tough grader on essay tests, but you get 2 chances and he takes the higher of the 2 grades. 3 book reports.

He's a pretty cool guy, won't hesitate to teach history without biases. Threw candy at the class during Halloween haha. Multiple Choice is a joke, study the back of the outline book. Essays are just a lot of memorization, and he kinda tough on the essay grading, so study the essays well!

Great teacher, you only need to by one book which is the book with his lecture notes. He takes role three times in the semester. Multiple choice tests straight from the back of the chapters, essay questions are given ahead of time. Just study the essays and memorize the multiple choice and you will earn an A.

Knows history and lectures off book, which is impressive nd enjoyable! Multiple choice are from the book and are super easy however, the essays require work! Lots of info to memorize for just one question!

Easy enough A. Work hard for the essays.

Do not buy the "required" book instead buy his lecture notes! For the 100 Q's test it comes exactly from the sample questions from the book! Need to study for the essay test. Overall if you study you should get an A!

made history really fun. don't buy the required book. buy the book that HE WROTE. it's full of ALL his lectures and has the ANSWERS to the mult choice tests. he's a bit picky on the essay portion of tests but gives you all the prompts before hand. let's you skip a test/essay if you did well on the first. says he doesn't curve. final is worth 50%.

He's an awesome teacher! I never really liked history until I took his class! Just buy the book he wrote, highlight the events he talks about as he lectures and study them and you'll for sure get an A, the lowest a B in his class. All professors should be like him.

Awesome guy! I don't like history at all but he made it easier to do well in the class! Just study the essays and the multiple choice in the back of the review book. ONLY BUY THE REVIEW BOOK! It's all you really need to get A's on your multiple choice tests :D Big class but he occasionally does call role.

Very good professor. Class was pretty easy. It's a shame that he is not gonna be teaching at CSUN next semester. The school shouldn't of fired one of the better professors at the school.

Amazing Professor!! You can tell he enjoys teaching the material and knows exactly what he's talking about. Although its a lecture class he kept the class interesting!

Excellent professor. For an 8AM history class, I looked forward to it a lot because he made the lectures really interesting. He gives a lot of extra credit and basically gives out the questions to his tests and essays in his optional textbook. It's a shame that CSUN decided to let him go.

Professor Reynolds is the greatest professor that I have had thus far at CSUN. He reaches out to all students, especially those who have no particular interest in history, and makes the class extremely enjoyable for them. He uses no visuals whatsoever yet manages to hold the attention of, and devote all of his time towards helping, every student.

I took his class but now I?m freaking out about my attendance! I accidently turned in a large green book instead of a small one and he marked my grade down a WHOLE GRADE. every test is from his book so just get that and you?ll do great. easy class, just super boring lectures /:

Prof. Reynolds is an awesome dude. He makes his classes incredibly interesting definitely if you consider the fact that they were purely lecture. Definitely get his outline book. EVERY SINGLE QUESTION FOR HIS TESTS ARE IN THAT BOOK!!! Definitely attend class because he takes role randomly. The only difficult part was the essays but you only have 2.

Professor makes it intresting but its pure lecture so it gets boring sometimes. But this class is SUPER easily. Get his outline book and your ready for his 3 test. Every review question on the book is exactly whats on the test. Takes roll on a random basis. Easy A. Highly recommend.

He makes lectures very interesting. His test questionss are in his green book. He is nice, funny. You will like it. Very good class. Highly recommend him. He is great/

great history professor. he makes US history very interesting and he's a funny guy too. take him if you can

Great history professor. His lectures are very clear and interesting. I recommend buying his book and highlighting what he lectures on. A couple tests and essays. I got an A

He doesn't use power points or even notes, just writes down topics on the board and tells us everything about them. 3 multiple choice tests, the questions come DIRECTLY from his lecture note textbook. 2 easy essays. Offers A LOT of extra credit. VERY knowledgeable about history. Definitely recommended

Easy A for this class. Get his review book that is not mandatory for the class! All the test answers are in there. 3 multiple choice test and 2 mandatory essays and that is all you do.

He was very response and clear. Submit your articles and projects early to get approval of credit. Be sure to study the chapter review questions since his questions are based on these review questions.

He is very funny and passionate about the subject. He doesn't do powerpoints! He only lectures but it's interesting for a 3hr Saturday class. Take him, you won't regret it!

Clear and interesting read his outline book and other class book. Interesting not painful to take like other History courses at CSUN. Be prepared to write on the questions for test and you will PASS. His lectures were totally interesting and helpful :) totally loved the structure of this class. HE KNOWS HIST STUFF!

Total boss right here. He doesn't help much during class but thats okay because it is still interesting. You basically got 3 essay exams and 3 multiple choice exams. STUDY THE BOOK is the key to success in this class. Its not bad at all! Good class to take.

Read books and attend class and you will earn an A. He is so amazing and makes History interesting. Wish other CSUN History professors had the same passion for History.

Read the syllabus carefully and FOLLOW IT. Study 2-3/5 questions(try not to aim for the easiest on the final). All questions on mult. choice exams are in his book. He doesn't help during class because he covers a lot of info, so take good notes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he does randomly do roll check, and you miss info if you're not there.

Only textbook you need is the one written by him, the multiple choice are in the tests and study 3 out of the 5 essays. Class isn't too bad except for the essays

Very enjoyable class! Textbook is easy to read and questions in textbook comprise the bulk of his tests. Read the text: Ace the test. Assignments should be submitted early because it is tough to get used to the way he wants his work to be turned in. Once you get in the swing of things, it is a very smooth class and fun at times. Take it!

Easy pass. 3 test - mc + essay. 1 essay optional. mc questions found in optional book. only have to study hard for in class essays, but he tells you the essay questions in syllabus. No surprises. Makes history fun even if you don't like. Sub teaches a lot cuz hes head of department. Sub is just as cool - majored in pop culture history.

He's super easy. If you buy his book you already have the answers to the multiple choice on both midterms and final. And he has two essay's which are worth most of your grade, but he gives you the essay questions in the beginning of the semester. Just need to study for the essay. He likes detail. Take him!

I had this class for 3 hours once a week. I believe he showed up for lecture only 3 times all semester, which is too bad because his lectures were great. TA did almost every lecture and was only OK. easy class but I wish the professor actually showed up. Buy his book and you should get a good grade without much effort.

Great Professor! you will learn a lot! test questions are identical to the option book, essay questions are listed on the syllabus so you know what to write about. BUY the optional book. DO NOT buy the required one. YOU WILL NOT NEED IT.

He's a really straight forward guy. Randomly takes attendance, but attendance does matter. Get the textbook! He gives 2-3 exams; the multiple choice questions are word for word from the text, and the essay prompts/questions are given before-hand so you have a lot of time to study and know what to expect. Overall pretty easy class.

he never shows up to class only 3 times In the semester. he teaches good but hes never there. buy his textbook only the exams ? are the same from book. he might get stricter next semester because a lot of people would cheat.

He was awesome. If you buy the optional book he wrote most of the questions on the multiple choice test are on there and if you just study for the essay tests you should be good to go. He does randomly take attendance so its important that you be there. His sub sucks and she was there 4-5 times throughout the semester.

Get the optional book only. MC questions are all in there. The essay questions are given to you in the syllabus. Pretty straightforward instructions. He will deduct grade for nonattendance. That's how I ended up with an A-. Overall, go to class study for 2 essays and 3 MC tests and the class is a breeze. Great lectures. Definitely recommended!

He is a well respected professor, he knows the material. Only purchase his optional book, which costs about $100 and study the same exact Multiple choice questions from the book that will be on the tests. Only 3 MC tests and 2 graded in class essays in which he will provide 5 prompts before hand. Recommended course.

He's not the type of person who's patient with you but HIS lectures are reeeaaally enjoyable. I emphasized that because he's there every other week and his sub was a drag. Class was an easy A just buy the optional book-all questions are same ones on exams. 2 essay exams u need to actually study for though.

His class is fairly decent. 2 test & the final. Attendance is important, he randomly calls roll. The test has the EXACT same questions as the workbook, no trick questions. ONLY buy the work book and you'll get an A+ in the multiple choice. The essay part is easy as long as you prepare for it.

His lectures were really entertaining. His tests are straight our of the workbook so easy A on the multiple choice part of the tests and gives you the prompts for the written part at the beginning of the year. Offers extra credit.
