Challenging, wants you to come prepared and asks for a fairly simple hand in thing, pretty much whatever you want as long as its on the topic. Using websites now which I think is cool, the book is now optional (saves $$). Discussions online i like as it means I don't have to talk in class as much. Cares for students, even those who disagree.

Ok, here we go. He is a cool guy and that is where it ends. He has ok lectures, more of a conscious stream of though than a lecture. Notes are important and so are his graded paragraphs. PRO tip, don't get sick, he will take points off for that. You cannot earn a 100 in this class. His unit assessments make up the bulk of the grade. Good luck.

The required book is good, and he also provides additional resources for you to get a better understanding. It is also important that you cite various sources to write your papers.

There's a lot of things wrong with the way he structures his class. The work load is way too much for an intro class, his attendance policy is downright terrible, you're not rewarded for showing up but severally punished if you don't (10% grade penalty) his lectures flip flop through history and the homework rarely reinforces what you learned.
