He's an incredible teacher and very funny to listen to. He has somewhat of a dry sense of humor but it's great! I would definitely recommend taking his class and even though he's married, he's definitely a cutie!

I definately reccomend taking him, he is a great teacher. All of your test are multiple choice, matching, and true/false. EASY-straight from your notes. He also does review sessions before test to clear up any confusion. He is also very attractive for an older man!!

The class is pretty easy. He'll let you know when you're going to have a quiz and what will be covered on the tests. He gives you a chance to do extra credit. AND before each test he has a study session to go over information to make sure you know everything that could be on the test. Great class!

He's a pretty funny guy and gives away a lot of extra credit just for reading and writing a paper on it. Tests are straight from the notes. Midterm and Finals are essays, but he gives you the questions beforehand. Good teacher.

This class was the best! He was a great teacher and helped you understand things in a unique way. His class is not hard at all. He tells you ahead of time about quizzes and tests. It's great because he does study sessions! STRONGLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM!

He is a nice guy... his class is not hard, but you HAVE to read the book. His quizzes are mostly short answers, but he doesn't grade it too hardly. His tests are not too hard because he pretty much tells you everything you need to study in the Review Sessions! And he is HOT! I wish he were single!

I love Mr.Craun!He is an awesome teacher and a great person too.I love his class!I had taken WH I with him and I liked his way of teaching so much that I took WHII.His tests are easy if you take good notes and read the book.He always keeps you interested in class.

Great teacher. Your grade is based on tests and quizzes. Just take notes and read and you'll do fine. When he says read, he means read...he'll include some things on quizzes and tests that he did not cover in lecture on purpose, so READ! Highly recommended!

Mr. Craun is a wonderful teacher. He dont take attendence, but his tests come from the notes. The tests are multiple choice and essay questions. He uses the majority of time lecturing. He is a nice person and will always help you if you ask for any help. He gives some xtra points in tests

Very easy.Never miss a class and you will have no problem.He reviews before every exam and gives EXACTLY what will be on the exam.Even tells what the essays are.I never read the book and had an A at midertm.Dry humor no one really picks up on.Very Funny guy!

Mr. Craun is a very nice guy. Do read the chapters and study a little for the tests. Not too hard, but you will get a lot if you go to lectures.

Easy Easy.. Treats the class like the GenEd that it is.. If you are looking for an easy class for world history one or two, this is it. He is also a great professor and nice.

Awesome professor, awesome class. Professor Craun is so helpful. His notes are primarily what is on the test so make sure to take really good ones. He gives announced quizzes that come from the notes with a few questions from the readings so definitely try to read the book. Before each test he gives

Dr. Craun has a way of making history fun.

great teacher, could care less about attendance but it is needed to know what is on the test b/c most of his notes are what you need to study. Do the reading each night and this class is very easy. He is very awsome and i would suggest to take his class any chance you get.

Nice Guy. Really down to earth. Fun to sit down and chat with.

lectures are good, but his quizes are over 4 chapters, and hard and his test are over 9 chapters and are extremely hard to study for

World History rules! By far the easiest class ever thought of in the history of mankind.

Chris Craun is a really nice guy, and he will give you bonus opportunities. but his tests and quizzes cover way too much information. he's also all over the place when he gives notes, so you have to be on your toes the entire class period trying to figure out what happend in relation to everything else. I would recommend taking a better teacher.

Dr. Craun is the man! He could certainly use a little more busy work or more quizzes to help us dilute our grade a little. There are only 2 test, a final, and 5 quizzes. Good lecture, cool guy.

Dude is so easy. Get him for WH 1 and it's like paradise for those who can bs an essay.

Pretty easy. Two tests and a final. Five quizzes. Tests are pretty easy but you had better do good on the essay. Can write research paper for bonus. Tells you exactly what will be on the final.

He is an excellent teacher and he knows his stuff! Very nice guy and easy to get along with. The only complaint I had about his class was that there were only two test which means that there is alot of information on them and there are so many notes! You do usually get out of his class early though.

Very nice guy. He will spend time with you if your needing help. Nice to look at too!

Very easy going class. Portfolio assignments are difficult just don't let the paper stuff sneak up on you otherwise you'll be working your butt off to try to get it in

He is the best, very helpful and very easy class just make sure you go to class!!!

Dr. Craun is a great teacher. NO HOMEWORK AT ALL!!! He is really into history so he makes enjoy the class. Some reading but he doesn't require it. Just take good notes in class and study those and you will be fine. I wanted to take him for World History II but he only teaches history I. TAKE HIM!!!

Pretty easy if you go to class and stay awake. He reminds me of Dave Foley.

Dr. Craun did the best he could with this class. i would definitely recommend taking him. if you just do the work, you'll get a good grade. but don't wait until the last minute to do the paper.

Great teacher... no work except portfolios... doesn't grade hard... nice guy and cute too! Easy A

Lectures are very interesting, but tests are hard for the simple fact that they cover alot of material. Final is an essay that comes from one of five topics that he gives you before hand. Not an easy A by any means... but if you're into history, he's a great guy!

Dr. Craun does a wonderful job in explaining research methods. This class is actually quite helpful for anyone interested in research. Although it is a rather boring class by nature, Craun does well in spicing it up as much as possible.

Craun is great and easy to understand. As long as you take notes in class and flip through the book occassionally, you should be able to make an A. There aren't any pop quizzes, he tells you when they all are and makes sure you are prepared with in class discussion before every quiz.

Dr. Craun is the best history teacher I have ever had. His lectures are very interesting. He didn't put me to sleep a single time!! As long as you take good notes of his lectures and study, then you should do fine on the quizes and tests. Oh, and his eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen!!!!

Craun is a really great guy. He is boring in class often and the subject matter is not interesting. But he will be the first to tell you that. If you want to learn to write a good paper this man can show you. Just make sure to pick a good topic and listen to his advice. He does not mind questions and actually encourages them.

I was expecting to be bored in this class but Dr. Craun is an excellent story teller! His tests are quite hard and an A requires a LOT of studying for a GenEd. He is a nice guy too. Stop reading this and sign up for his class if you want to learn something. Its NOT an easy A though. You've been warned.

Dr. Craun's lectures are fairly boring unless you are interested in the subject matter. He gives few tests, but they are extensive. His quizzes are on the syllabus and mentioned the class before, but do not rely solely on attending lectures for the tests or quizzes. Read the text.

Awesome to the core! This guy is not a laugh riot, but his wit makes the class extremely enjoyable. He is easy to understand, his lectures are deep, and he puts history into perspective; it just makes sense, now! Take those notes and read that book and all shall be well.

This class is a little intimidating at first. Take good notes and you'll do well on the tests. For each section there is a quiz and if you want to do well on it you have to study. He is a nice guy, and is willing to help you.

I took this class online. He seemed REALLY nice. He was always available for questions and responded in a timely manner. He understood when I had WebCT problems and let me redo some work that got lost. He grades the work neither easy or hard, but fair. His tests are a little bit hard, but still fair. I would recommend taking this instructor.

I never opened my world history book, if you take notes all you need to do is study them, all the test material comes from lectures. very easy class.

Great teacher!! Very enjoyable class. Dr. Crahn will always clear up any questions. This is the "pick of the litter" for this mandatory course!

I took his World History Class online. TONS of busy work. Each chapter has at least 10 defs., 3 to 5 short answers, and 3 to 5 essays. TAKES FOREVER and he does not grade easy.Do the work early cause he doesn't like grading at the end of the semester & your grades will reflect that. His test are hard. No MC.. QUESTIONS DO COME FROM THE BUSY WORK TH

I've had Craun for two upper-division courses and he's great. Very a really nice guy and very intelligent. Lots of lecturing and lots of writing. Lectures aren't boring though. Tests are extensive and cover lots of material, but if you take good notes and study them, you'll be fine. He's very helpful in and out of class if you need clarification.

Dr Craun likes complex arguments in his upper divisions classes. The better the argument, the easier the grade. He does not like papers that are simply a list of historical events or facts. Tests are extensive, sometimes multi-day affairs.Reading the textbook is nearly worthless except as review. Notes from lecture are worth their weight in gold.

Awesome guy! 4 tests and 4 quizzes plus gives bonus on tests. Don't bother buying the book, you'll be just find if u take decent notes.

Very intelligent. Enjoys teaching and will clear up any confusion you may have. Always there for office hours and is willing to make appointments. Attendance isn't mandatory but essential to pass. Lots of notes. Some reading assignments but he goes over in detail the day after reading. 4 tests and 4 quizzes.

He is awesome and really helpful! If you take notes in class and put a little time into studying, you should do great. Also, he doesn't require you to know dates and attendance is not required but you should go to take notes every time. Fantastic teacher!

Sincerely loves teaching, and it shows. He is very helpful and very easy to talk to. I strongly recommend him; he can take a dry subject and somehow make it interesting.

Dr. Craun is just cool. He's extremely knowledge about Rome, Christianity, basically anything you want to know. And he's super nice. Probably the most fun I've had in a history class in my entire life. You take a ton of notes and it's a lot of work, but I'll definitely be taking Dr. Craun again.

Very easy, laid back, and handsome guy. Be sure to listen to lectures and take notes and you'll be fine.

Great guy, makes history fun like he's telling a story. His lectures are so good you don't even have to use your book he covers it all! Take good notes, Study them 15 minutes a day and you will do great!

Mr. Craun is an awesome teacher. I recommended him. He is very helpful, knows his stuff. Teaches his world history I class like its one long story, take notes. He will inform you on when quiz and test are going to be. Study you notes.. May have to read the book a Lil bit. Has bonus on test. Has essay questions on quizzes and test, one paper due at the end.

He's a good professor. Extremely knowledgable with ancient history and his class is laid back. If you take him for upper level classes, you have to study long and hard in order to pass.

I like Dr. Craun but I HATE RESEARCH. Luckily, he's really helpful. I can't give an accurate review of the prof because I hate the course so much. But I most likely will take Dr. Craun for other history courses/electives.

Historical Research is not a course you can take lightly. Dr. Craun gives due dates on the first day of class, so keep up with them. Class is not hard, but you'll regret it if you blow it off. If you must take HIST 2320, take Dr. Craun. I was enrolled in Dr. Little's class and dropped after two days. Went on to make an A in Craun's class.

Craun is a great intellectual. His classes arent based on mere facts, but the implications and effects of events in history. Very interesting guy!

He is laidback and a nice guy. I found the class pretty difficult though. Be sure to take notes or you will have a hard time. Also, you have to study a lot if you want to make a B on tests.

If you're not a good note taker, then don't take this class. But if you do, RECORD EACH CLASS! His notes are very minimal. He does a lot of talking about the implications and the effects of history, so being able to go back and listen to what he talked about before a test is helpful. Great teacher, but tests are hard if you don't know your stuff.

Mr. Craun is a very laid back and good teacher! He is always there when you need his help. I definitely recommend him! He only does 2 group projects and his tests are easy if you study.

Craun knows exactly what he's talking about and will make sure you do to. He constantly checks to see if you're following and if the whole class isn't doing well he adapts to lend a hand which I think is always a plus for a professor! His lectures aren't that boring and aren't filled with confusing big words to keep you on track.

Have group projects. Pay attention in class!!! Tests are in depth and require you to be at all classes or you'll miss important information. I loved this class and I don't like history. Talks like you're not a kid and makes it interesting. Likes talking about battles. Fun teacher. Take lots of notes in class to pass and it won't be too hard.

He is a great professor. Still trying to figure out the class a little bit but I enjoyed a lot.

Dr Craun was a good professor. He made the lectures pretty interesting. Very clear in the beginning about what you will do in the semester. There is no surprise. This is not an easy A. Attendance isn't necessary but if you want to pass the class you must go to class. Does offer bonus on every quiz & test and the final as well.

Lectures are crystal clear and as long as you take good notes or partner with someone else who does and study them, you are good.

I'd say top 3 best professor in the history department. I've taken his classes a few times, and taking him again next semester. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and even if he doesn't teach the type of history you like to study (like me), I'd still take his class just because he is a great professor.

My only real problem with Dr. Craun's online class was that there were no due dates until the end of the semester, so it is up to the student to get everything done. However, that was my fault for putting it off... Dr. Craun was somewhat easy grader and very easy to talk to. He also bumped my 79.1 to a B, so that is always appreciated!

Took him for a class on Roman Senators, excellent professor. Not only passionate about history, but a great storyteller (which makes history classes fun). Gave real life advice, all around a great person.

His online class was very tedious because of how many essays were due. The only problem was he never listed any due dates and it was super easy to get behind. As long as you give minimal effort on the essays you will pass.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Delved into the material when the class did bad on a portion. Didn't use a book, but if you miss class you've missed a lot of material. Easy to follow and makes it fun to learn. Will take again.

Only take Craun if you are fine with 3 tests and 1 paper being your entire grade. He only lectures and has no additional assignments or grades. His lectures are interesting and entertaining as long as you find the material interesting. Would recommend it if you are comfortable with lecture exclusive classes with no visual aids.

Excellent professor, he is incredibly smart. Loved attending class each time. Stay on top of your work though because everything is due by end of semester, no weekly due dates. Grades mainly come from modules and final exam is a big project.

Awesome professor! Tests were just like the lectures, if you skip often you'll miss out on key information. Dr. Craun is funny and makes history something fun to learn about.

I took Dr. Craun for Mummies to Mongols and had no issues. I can say that you do write a lot of papers, however, the questions are simple. You have weekly modules that include a paper and a quiz. Attendance isn't mandatory however, I would go because you go over a lot. Be sure and take good notes.

He doesn't take attendance, but if you can make it to class, you should. If you miss even one day, you'll be missing at least 3 pgs of notes. His lectures are all from his head, and he tends to ramble sometimes, making the order of events confusing. He gives a ton of bonus points, though, so as long as you study with some classmates, you'll be fine

Professor Chris Craun's class was hit or miss for me. He follows the syllabus, and if you miss class, it's best to get notes from classmates since he won't go over it again. His lectures depend on his notes and memory, so detailed notes and research are important. He has high expectations for essays and projects. ❤️

Historian's Craft was the course I took with Dr. Craun. I thought the course was very informative. It was more of self-guided class since the whole class was centered around conducting your own research for you final paper. He'll give you mini assignments to bump your grade as well as extra credit for participating. Very awesome professor!

Professor Craun is absolutely amazing. The goal of this class is to be confused, so if you are confused, you're alright. There is a LOT of research, but Professor Craun provides great feedback on your sources, and is very helpful when you ask questions. He doesn't really remind you when something is due though, so it is kind of up to you to check.
