He knows the subject matter very well. He makes the class exciting by lecturing with energy and enthusiasm. My advice for success in this class: read, understand, absorb, re-read as all his tests are essays. You choose two out of six subjects to write about.

I don't want to sound overly negative, but his own political bias creeps in hard in some of his lectures, which might put you in the position of reciting back on assignments what he wants to hear versus what might be more historically accurate. Fortunately though, he is entertaining enough to make the hour and a half fly by.

I took his Nevada History class and loved it, i got into it and it was fun to learn about Nevada, so i tok him for History 101, as long as you read the chapters you should do decent on the test. No Final's and you can do this class along with 3-4 others without stressing.

He is very passionate of what he teaches. Tough but fair with grading. If you are really into history, he is a the right teacher for you. Expect lots of writing and reading out of the book. Exams are written test, so study a lot. Sometimes during lectures he tends to get off topic, but its very entertaining.

If you are really interested in history this is a no brainer, take this class. If not I might consider another professor cause the exams can be pretty challenging. If you're like me and don't like to study his essay exams will force you to do so. Of course if you spend a little time studying you'll do fine on the tests. Overall very good class.

Work load is normal for college even in the 4 week online course; Discussions based on one book, 4 Tests based on another + NV's Constitution(as long as you read the book you're fine for tests and discussions), term paper(easy). He is a great professor who wants his students to learn something, those are rare nowadays. Choose this professor!!!!

Not a bad Professor, I did notice bias in his grading. If you don't agree with him, or don't see history as he does it definitely will be reflected. The marks received were because I didn't focus on what he deemed important, a lot of focus on format. The ego visible in most history professors is not as prominent. I would recommend him to others.

Grading criteria is clear, assignments may take a bit of time because lectures are 40-60mins, and gives excellent and meaningful feedback. Lectures are interesting, he sprinkles in little stories like its almost a podcast. All assignments are open, and you get about a month to finish a unit (13 assignments each).

Professor Dietrich gives amazing lectures with a hint of comedy. He gives personalized feedback on all assignments which is very nice. There is a lot of homework and source evaluations that tend to get repetitive as the semester goes on. All in all, I would highly recommend him as a professor.

I thought he was great! His lectures are prerecorded, and he has you do a short 250-500 word assignment for each. The downside is the lectures are 45 min each; I'm more of a math person, so I struggle to pay attention to things like that. I ended up dreading them and procrastinating a bit. They can really add up. Don't be like me.

Professor Dietrich has the most entertaining lectures always ending with "Until bedtime, I'm history," which is very catchy. There is 3 source evaluations, 4 lectures, and two quizzes per module. There is also an app for the textbook. The assignments are set a month in advance so don't procrastinate! Overall, an easy class with a great professor!

Still trying to figure out how anyone could dislike the guy. The lectures are long it's true, but Professor Deitrich is hilarious and makes the nearly 2-hour lectures some of the best I have sat through. As long as you show up, follow his format, and give him what he is looking for in the lecture assignments and source evaluations, it's an easy A.

It's really easy to get an A in his class. His videos are entertaining. Even though he is clearly left leaning in his political views (which is different than my own), it didn't get in the way of the grading. I enjoyed learning history from him. He actually got me interested in the subject matter. I would take him again for future history classes.

It's a reasonably simple course. You must read the assigned material, attend the lectures, and provide feedback to receive an A. The professor is excellent! You have around a month or three weeks to complete the assignments, but there are typically six or seven due then, so it's better not to procrastinate.
