He's a good teacher who actually made the class enjoyable even for someone who hates history.

While not the easiest for me, others might disagree. He is a different history professor because you are not expected to memorize facts, but be able to think about what you learn and write about what you think about why, or how it happened.

This is one history class I can actually enjoy. I am impressed that he concentrates on the real reason we study history -- its relevance to the present and future -- rather than useless facts and dates. Highly recommended.

He gives study guides to test. It is hard to know what to study for the tests because you cover so much, but he gives the same emphasis to everything you cover. Overall, he knew what he was talking about and the class wasn't totally boring.

I found the classes to be quite enjoyable with very minimal work load. He teaches history the way it should be taught, not by memorizing exact dates and facts, but understanding concepts and explaining the relevance of history to modern society.

If your interested in History you'll love this class. This teacher knows his stuff..more than half of the class got an A on the first test. If you actually pay attention his classes are interesting.

Awesome teacher. Easy A if you go to class and do the homework. I thought the class was very interesting, and I strongly recommend him!

Oldstone-Moore is a cool guy (I loved discussing stuff with him), but his essays and tests are all written essay type stuff, and it's really hard to figure out what he wants out of the responses. He has the potential to be a great teacher.

i thought he was a cool teacher, has some interesting things in class. i would recommend taking him

Oldstone-Moore is an awesome professor, his teachings are straight forward and to the point. If you prepare for the essays and study the outlines you will do fine on his tests. I would definately recommend taking him!

Good professor, easygoing and easy to talk to, very intelligent. Has some controversial views but enjoys arguing about them and appreciates a well thought out challenge. Focuses on the significance and impetus for historical change, not specific dates.

Loved his class. He was very stimulating, even at 8:30 in the morning. He used art and music as well as facts to get the point out. If you go to class and the study groups (where he GIVES the answers!!!) you will get an A

good teacher, very active and entertaining. really knows his stuff, and you will definitely learn a thing or two. exams are all written, but pay attention and study and it's an easy a

He is one of the funniest teachers here at WSU! If you do the homework and listen in class you should do fine. Make sure that you review the art before the test its always at least on a few multiple choice. He is very enthusiastic about history too.

HE WAS A PRETTY GOOD TEACHER TO ME!!! HIS CLASS WAS NOT THAT HARD IF YOU JUST GO TO CLASS!

Excellent course structure. Come to class, take notes,or get notes-- scan the book before tests you'll do excellent. Makes the material interesting with a cool sense of humor. Easy A-B if you need a g.p.a. boost

A good teacher. I liked him enough to take him a second time. Do the daily questions and you are bound to do well. If you understand those questions, the tests will be easier. If his grader has a review session, attend it, as this will be a huge help. Study the essays before the test.

He trys to make the class as interesting as possible. I like the fact that he has the class debate about certain issues in history, which helps us to understand the material better. I really liked this history class considering it was my first at WSU.

I like his teaching style, he incorporates the arts into history which I think makes it more personable. It's also pretty easy as long as you read. Outlines are online and if you print them and bring them to class it is a breeze. He has a unique personality which keeps me interesting.

There is something very charming about this guy. It is interensting to listen to him, although the notes, and the book can be very different. The tests are ok, pay attention to the art that he shows in class.

Do yourself a favor and print off the notes, easier to take your own in-class notes that way. *Prepare essays before the exam* As long as you go to class and have a slight understanding, you're gonna get the gist of the material. It'll come to you during exams, don't sweat it ;-)

I thought the guy was hilarious, nobody else really seemed to find him funny, but I did. Test reviews online, 4 or 5 essays, 2 on the test, write on 1 plus short answer. Nothing was on the test that we didn't go through at length in class.

He is different from any history teacher I've ever had, but I enjoyed him. I didn't do well enough in his class because of myself. I didn't study much and skipped class too many times. There was a paper(easy), written assignments(in class), and two exams.

Good teacher to take hst 101, he's interesting, tests are multiple choice and cover the main points of his lectures.

his tests are mult. choice and an essay. it's not too bad of a class but there are daily questions. you have to put forth effort for an A that's for sure. class is enjoyable though. nice guy. knows his stuff. watch your spelling.

he is a great teacher. he has a good sense of humor, and he likes to make the subject fun. his tests are a little hard but im not so great at history and i got a B. he so funny and he makes you enjoy your time there though sometimes it doen get a little boring, but he does the best he can. he great! i recommend him for sure.

The subject was boring, which made the class very very boring. He trys his best to make it interesting but it's not. You have in-class writings and daily questions. There are 2 test (70 MC and one essay)

Not my subject at all but I didn't mind going to his class. His expectations aren't unrealistic and he can be very funny to listen to. The material may be boring and the class may have its slow days but this prof can really lighten the mood and make the whole class laugh. If you need a history class this professor comes highly recommended.

He's a good teacher. The class isn't too hard. Two essay tests, a paper, a project, and a few small and very easy homework assignments. Very easy to PASS his class... HOWEVER - If it's an A you want, and history isn't your thing, be careful because he grades pretty hard. The longer your essay responses are, the more points you seem to get.

Great teacher. Love his class!

He is able to keep the class interested in his lectures. He is funny and laid back.

I love Oldstone-Moore, he's far and away the best history professor I've had. He's smart in a way that comes across as impressive but approachable, as opposed to domineering. I HIGHLY recommmend him to anyone.

Oldstone is great! He made history as interesting as it can possibly get. He's very laid back and entertaining. Only 2 exams, which aren't very difficult. There is a lot of homework assigned, but he doesn't collect it all... So once you figure out the system, you're home free. Definitely recommend this prof!

Great professor

Very entertaining prof; Never know what kind of crazy things he is going to do; Would definitely recommend; Makes you feel like you are not in a huge, boring lecture hall

History was very interesting with this guy. He was good, a typical college class, not real easy, but not real hard. You have to work really hard if you want that A though. He is a little quirky (even the way he dresses), but he is one history prof that knows his stuff and loves it!

love this professor. makes history interesting. his grading is a little hard. you definately have to go to class but he makes it fun.

Good class... Easy. Tells you if you actually need to do something to get a good grade or not. Exam was easy and he graded the essay very easy. Great teacher, funny too!

He had a great sense of humour! His lectures were easy, as were his tests. He told you what you needed in the class, and graded easy. I recommend strongly! Take him if you can.

I had him for 103 and liked him so much I took 101, too. He's great - he'll wake you up first thing in the morning. Good sense of humor and such!

Good teacher. Easy A if you go and prepare for the essay qurstions. Grades pretty easily.

He was a good teacher, kind of bizarre but actually really interesting. He knows his history and he seems to enjoy teaching. He doesn't take attendance but he randomly collects the homework so you have to be there for that. The tests aren't too bad. I enjoyed the class.

Great professor. He has a good sense of humor and made what would have otherwise been a boring subject for me very entertaining. Really helpful and a nice guy all around

He is good professor. He made the subject kind of interesting. His tests were easy because I studied for an hour and got a B in each one. But I can not speak as to how good of a guy he is because I sat in the back and didnt communicate with him, and i sat in the back. Laptops, Gatorade, his outline and it will be a blast.

Pretty good professor. Tries to keep things funny, but his voice can drag on and makes me fall asleep sometimes when he lectures. Not a very difficult class with some studying, so be willing to study. He jokes and dances. I would take him again.

He is the best history prof at wright state. Class is really easy as long as you go to class and pay attention. Also participate in the discussions and you will definitely know what is going on. He joked often and kept class fun. I would definitley take him again. Easily got an A+.

More about religious history than anything else. Randomly-collected daily questions that must be typed. Previous comments about writing levels are very accurate. Little extra credit, and exams are somewhat difficult.

Oldstone is GREAT he's funny and informative. I love the way he goes off on little rants every now and then and how much he loves what he dose. He is writing intensive, but it's not necessary to strain yourself about it because you can usually get it done during class. He is book heavy but i never opened mine and did just fine. Take him, he's GREAT

Randomly collected daily questions, but overall his class was okay. I liked how he somewhat let some of the students have it during class for leaving early. But he joked a lot and was very patriotic. I loved him overall

He makes history interesting by focusing on events, ideas, and cultures more than dates. He gives points for participating in class that will help pad your grade if you show up to classes.

GREAT professor! Loved his Ancient and Midieval Europe class. Highly recommend!!!

Have had Oldstone for HST 101-103 and he is by far THE BEST professor at WSU Daily questions collected @ random and points for class participation. Makes history VERY interesting! Best. Prof. Ever.

Great professor. I hate history & I actually enjoyed myself at times bc he always likes to crack jokes. He post outlines online & all you need to do to pass the class is to print those off before & take notes on it & just study those. He sometimes collects the daily questions & gives random quizzes. Answer questions bc he gave EC for that n my clas

Easily the best History teacher at WSU. He is really good about extra credit points (if you show to class).He is funny and makes class interesting.

I hate history. I loved history with Dr. Oldstoone-Moore. Great teacher, tries to make things interesting, and usually succeeds; does a great job at connecting different parts of history to illustrate cause and effect.

Cracks me up!! Made class fun. Very smart and very witty. Just pay attention and care about what he's saying and you'll get a good grade in the class. He's not an idiot and will cut you some slack here and there. But tends to be unorganized from time to time. Just call him on it and he'll correct himself. Loved him!

He's so funny and will keep you entertained! He outlines his material beforehand so you can follow along...just listen in class and study a lot and you will do well

He is so helpful and makes a boring subject interesting.Go to class, as much of his exams are on what he covers in class. Has an outline for each class, plus questions to complete everyday.Do them!They are worth points and are usually on the exam.Will meet with you if you need help and gives bonus points for participation in class.Great professor!

Mr. Oldstone-Moore is a fantastic professor. He's very passionate about history and it shows. This was the most interesting class I've had so far. I was not looking forward to studying history at all but that has now changed and I've absolutely loved this class.

Great prof. He is so funny and lighthearted. Collects homework questions that add up to alot of points so DO THEM!! If you respect him, he respects you! Test were very easy IF you came to class and did the very light reading. Hardly had you read much. Gives extra credit for participation so speak up! Answers questions and is very nice.

Oldstone-moore was one of the best teachers I've had at WSU! His expectations are high, but if you go to class and study you'll do great. Word to the wise: practice your essays before your midterm & final, it really does help

He's kinda cute and a bit humorous. Class seems fairly easy, but haven't had first test yet!

YES..he's very cute!! I took him for honors history and absolutely loved him! He made it fun and interesting for me. His personality makes him so unique...would take him again in a heartbeat..no doubt. Highly recommend!!

Oldstone-Moore is and excellent lecture teacher: impersonal, emotional in his lectures, addresses the whole crowd. Not only does he focus on the section of history we're covering, but he also peppers in the importance it plays in our current culture. Gives all tools to be successful in the subject. Very respectible professor.

I love Christopher Oldstone-Moore!! He is a great and very engaging teacher. The way he presents the material is both interesting and entertaining. His use of different class activities such as trials and discussions (at least in the Honors section) adds variety and enjoyment to the course. His historical perspective is wonderful!!!

Took honors history with him. Great guy. The hearings are interesting, he gave each of us personal attention. Funny in his own way. Already signed up to take 103 with him. Highly recommended.

Great Professor. Make sure you go to class, often he will give extra credit for showing up when most dont. Also try to answer questions he will give you extra credit for trying. The first is a bit hard because of the time, but the material is easy, just practice your essay answer.

Oldstone is hilarious. Lectures are not boring at all. If you are decent at History and you go to class and just pay attention, you'll do good on the exams. Have taken a few classes taught by him. He's a great guy.

Made me glad I only have to take one history class. I know I could have done better, but I just didn't spend enough time preparing for the exams. Be prepared to take good notes or be a good reader, because otherwise you're toast. He was nice enough, but I didn't like the course.

He makes class interesting. He is funny and realistic. If you come to class and follow the outlines, you will do fine on the exams.

Oldstone-Moore is an amazing professor! He loves what he teaches & it helps you as a student grasp onto the information more. Lecture & book both appear on tests; notes nearly everyday. Homework everyday; not always collected (very easy 1 question). His teaching made the class much more funny & enjoyable than I thought it would be. Recommend.

Pretty much if you come to class and write down the notes, you will do fine in this class. He didn't make ancient and medivial europe boring, he would crack jokes about the history which made it more fun.

HE'S A REAL LIVE TEACHER!! Not just one of those losers who teaches simply because research doesn't pay enough. If you need a class and he's one of the professors, TAKE HIS CLASS!!

He's great, def taking him for 102 and 103. He's usually energetic, funny, and makes learning (yes even history) fun. Gives ex Credit for in-class feedback!! He's my fav professor at WSU so far...

He turned out to be a very good teacher. Made me want to come to class and made me want to learn the subject. Only problem was how long he talks about electronics.

Amazing professor. Enjoys teaching history and wants students to do well. Makes material very interesting especially with it being history. Doesn't tolerate rudeness. :-)

Great teacher. Makes you want to go to class. Funny

Overall, Oldstone-Moore was a great professor. I took this as an Honors class and he made it interesting by having us participate in debates. It wasn't an easy class and you will have to study hard. However, he is very helpful and I would recommend him.

He's a pretty good professor. He's funny and makes the material relatable. However, DO NOT text in class or leave class early, he will publicly embarrass you!

Pretty good professor. He is very sarcastic and funny!He really makes the class interesting and makes you want to be there. Sidenote: if you don't read- your loss- it just makes you less involved. I'd definitely reccomment him!

Loves history and makes it interesting and applicable to current times. definitely recommend.

Great teacher. Funny and makes material interesting. Would recommend for sure.

Very fun professor! Make sure you do the readings and attend class. Even if you do not understand the reading, in class he usually does a good job explaining it. He also relates topics to today's world. He is goofy at times but texting in his class is not a good idea. I wish I could take my next history class from him.

Arguably, my favorite professor I've ever head. I can appreciate his teaching style as he is often lecturing to a large class and he always is entertaining and very knowledgeable of the material he covers. I enjoyed his class very much.

He's a great teacher, but tends to have his bad days and takes it out on students if they didn't print something off or if they sit in silence. He also HATES cellphones. Pay attention, do the homework, and read a little bit.

Great teacher! Read your book and when test time rolls around read the exam study guide! Do that and you'll kill it!

He's pretty cool! Very entertaining and does a good job at relating material to the present. Our tests are only multiple choice, which could be bad or good. Only used book for online quizzes. He hates cell phones and loves participation.

Awesome Professor! Really, Really knows he's history. He's hilarious and LOVES, LOVES history and really wants to makes sure EVERYONE knows the truth regarding it. Passionate about what he teaches. Go to class, study his outlines, DO THE READING and you'll be fine. I would take another class from him in a heartbeat!! I learned some much!!

He LOVES his job. Even watching lecture power points online was fun because of the little comments he would slip in. He is very understanding and goes over everything very well. Just do all of your assignments! Oh, and get ready to do some reading. Even though this was an online class, I am glad I took him.

This professor is extraordinarily good. He is committed to giving prepared material and wants to make everyone participate. He makes history live and encourages students of particular majors to take notice of certain terminologies related to their future professions. He has material at his fingertips. He's not only good but he is also intelligent

Oldstone-Moore is great with lectures but it doesn't make the material any less dry. My advice: Just push through it and do all your homework and papers and you'll pass no problem. If you go to class you will 100% know and understand what he wants. Not a blow-off class.

He is an amazing teacher & knows his British history. There are only two tests & four small 2 page papers. You also have to do daily questions about the book he assigns but it is super easy & he only collects them every so often. Also, quizes.

I really enjoyed this class, the reading was a little long but if you paid attention to the online lectures you really didn't have to read to in depth. I loved the references to art as well, which is not normally my thing. Take the online version, he has one of the best set ups I have ever seen, as a future teacher I may steal some of his ideas!

You would think with this class being online it would be easier. It's not.. First exam we had 60 questions with only 45 minutes. I listen to all the lectures and I read the text but somehow I am still struggling. I would recommend not taking this class online.

Made class interesting by interacting with students and having a sense of humor.

Difficult class but you learn a lot. Especially hard over summer where the class is condensed into a shorter time frame. I think if you space out the assignments/readings the workload is very manageable. The presentations he prepares are also informative easy to understand. Very good prof.

Dr. Oldstone-Moore teaches to get student's truly thinking about the inter-relatedness of cultures as well as using primary sources. As long as you take the time to do the reading, show up to lecture and his homework questions, his exams are extremely fair. He is a bit harsh of a grader on papers, so be sure to visit office hours for questions.

I enjoyed Professor Oldstone-Moore's class. I took the online version, which must have been changed from previous years because it wasn't anything like what past reviews have described. Fairly easy and very spaced out so that a lot of work wasn't demanded of you (four weeks to complete the first module, etc.) He seemed funny the only time we spoke

Gave influential information on topics through the course, helped understand all the expects to what was happening during 1500 to present day. Positive feed back when grading essays, giving us tips to improve on our next essays.

Professor Oldstone-Moore was good. As long as you come to class and watch the short lecture videos outside of class you will do fine. For my class 2 out of the 3 exams were online and pretty self-explanantory. This was an easy A if you participated and did the work.

Easiest grader ever. Drops two lowest quiz scores , curves every exam and even offers retakes. He always makes the lectures super easy to follow and gives enough time to copy down notes before moving on. If you ask a question or add something during class you will get a ton of extra credit. Would take this class 100 times over.

This class was much easier to follow than I had thought it would be. It was 100% online and there were online vid lectures to assist with the text. I learned more from the video lectures than I did reading. There were built in extensions and it was very easy to manage the amount of work for this class. I only received a C because I forgot a paper.

I took Western Civ online this semester. As long as you watch the lectures and study your quizzes you will do fine on the exams. Make sure you participate in discussions and you will get extra credit (try to go in person for more). He also drops the two lowest quiz scores for the lecture quizzes.

As long as you read the assigned pages and do the quizzes, you'll be good. There are 3 essays (350 words) & 4 reading question assignments. 3 proctored exams (closed book/note). 3 discussions (based on reading question assignments.) Make sure to participate in the discussions, he DOES take away for not giving input.

As a whole, the class was fairly easy to get completed on my own time. Moore got back to emails relatively quickly and was more than happy to help clarify anything. He is a relatively easy grader and the guidelines for what was expected were drawn fairly early in the semester.
