By far the best instructor I've had in my life...and I HATED history before! No tests, five papers; papers are a reiteration of notes (pretty much word for word) from his lectures that he WILL write out everyday. Tells cool stories. Wears the same outfit everyday, has long hair, and rides a Harley to school everyday. I would take any of his classes

Chris, is a nice guy he cracks a few jokes in class to make it enjoyable. There are quizzes every week(online) and a paper due every end of the chapter, I've never been given back a paper " thats not fit to standards" so the writing assignments were tough for me. besides that it was a great class.

He is a good professor and flexible with your schedule and needs. I think if someone were very interested in history then you'd love his class. Surprisingly, lectures are usually interesting. He is very knowledgeable about history and definitely loves it. Gives a lot of feedback on papers but sometimes can't read his handwriting.

I took Chris's online class and he made himself available via phone AND by meeting up during his office hours. Very knowledgeable. The course naturally does call for a lot of reading and paper writing but the text is free and it has opened my eyes to US history. Chris does not sugar coat the truth about American history which is greatly appreciated

Chris is so willing to help you get the most out of this course. He provides his phone number so that if you need assistance outside of class/office hours you can get ahold of him. There's not much homework, and he provides feedback on each assignment and allows you to try again if needed. I recommend Chris to anyone who needs a history credit.

There is 7 writing assignments that are only a page and a half long they aren't too bad as long as you start early. Quizzes on canvas every week and one big writing assignment for ePortfolio. If you don't like history I felt like it was/would (be) a hard class. Doesn't have lecture note online and just writes on the board, participation matters.

Chris is awesome I would have done better if there wasnt so much reading and then didnt have as many classes that semester. He knows what he is talking about and is just an awesome history instructor. There are alot of 1 1/2 papers, but he is accessible outside the class, by phone and email. He really cares about his students and helps them.

DO NOT TAKE IN SUMMER. He gives loads of busy work, tests are HARD with trick questions. Grades are not negotiable. Even good essay writers will struggle getting 100% on essays. He's easy to contact, but his solution in helping you is always REDO's on everything, so triple the amount of work you already have and that's how much you'll do per week.

Refused to grade a paper I submitted because he didn't agree with my perspective on the topic. Made me re-write it twice and still gave me a "D" on it because he said I missed the point of the reading even though I answered the question posed in the essay.

ONLINE STUDENTS BEWARE!!!! I expected Case to be hilarious and intellectually stimulating like he had been reviewed for his physical classes. Instead, I got a neglectful teacher who made us read the textbook cover to cover. There was no guidance or teaching- the only feedback given was on papers that didn't meet his expectations. So let down.

Grades fairly and gives good feedback. Usually one quiz, a historical essay and chapter reading due every week. There is an large-ish paper due at the end of the year. Makes you call him to unlock late assignments and answers the phone saying "speak" like you're a dog. Despite the last comment, he's pretty solid. Take him.

Get a load of this guy! He doesn't follow his own rubric. Document analysis papers every week, and if you took something different away from a reading than he did, he will refuse to score the entire thing and make you re-write. If you don't re-write, he will issue a 0 rather than score on the rubric, even if other parts of the paper are perfect.

I took this class online. Professor was very tough on grading. Every week there was a document analysis and a quiz from the textbook reading. About every other week you would also have a discussion. Got a "0" on a few papers, when asked why he said that the whole paper wasn't an A. If my paper was lower than 36/40 I would have to redo it.

Even though he's a tough grader and there's a lot of reading, I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The document analysis' seem like a daunting task, but I realized that they're pretty simple, so long as you read and take good notes. If you follow the rubric and the videos, you will understand how he grades and it makes your life a lot easier.

Professor Case made huge point to call, text, or email him if we were struggling with our regular data analysis papers. I was hesitant to call at first due to nervousness, but he was so easy to talk to, gave me very helpful pointers, and grades fairly. I enjoyed the organized structure of his class, and you know what to expect from him. He's great!

I did the class online. Weekly work was: read a chapter, take short quiz, write a 1.5 page essay single spaced. Tough to get full points and quizzes are phrased weird but still easy to get a decent grade. More work than a lot of other classes but it's consistent week to week so once you get the pattern down it's not bad.

I wasn't a fan of history but after taking Chris's class changed that. He is passionate about what he teaches which makes the class more interesting. He wants students to engage while in class, he wants you to think. There are a few papers and debates but he makes them fun and interesting. I will continue to recommend him to friends/ students.

I tried his course on day one and was immediately greeted with a 25 question quiz with a time limit, as well as over 30 pages of reading, all due the first week. No intro, no meeting the teacher, no prep, nothing. Open your laptop and get ready to have a class that seems like it was made by AI. Also tons of random spelling issues in the quizzes.

Chris was an amazing teacher. I'm noticing many negative reviews citing weekly papers and tons of reading as criticism. How about we look at it with context? In history, there is an above average amount of reading. Duh. Also, he does normally assign a weekly paper, but the requirements are middle school level. Everybody thrived in my class.

Chris is a solid professor. Little break down of this class, I took it online. There are 15 modules, with a quiz and essay due every week, with a discussion added every other week. Quizzes are straight from the textbook. Make sure your conclusion paragraph is solid on your essays and you'll be good. Not getting an A was completely on me

Professor Case runs a structured class, but engages students well. Attendance is mandatory, but the workload is manageable if you stay on top of it. unstuck AI and the free textbook were great study tools alongside the lectures. Would recommend to history buffs and newbies alike.
