Assigns minimal homework, aside from a bit of reading. Just go to class and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Very engaging in lecture, class was easy. Show up and take notes.

Dr. Bach is very passionate about history and loves teaching it. But, lectures are often pretty boring, which has been my experience with every history class. You have to read three books and take a quiz over each one. That was pretty easy. And tests are straight from lectures. Not a difficult class.

Bach is pretty chill. He'll make a joke once in a blue moon and is passionate about the topic. I've never been good at history, but in this class I finally understand it. As long as you pay attention in class you should be good!

Professor Bach is extremely passionate about history and really enjoys teaching it! His lectures are funny - bc he gets SO into them. However, your note-taking skills will be tested in this class since the tests are straight from his lectures. Make sure you make a buddy who takes good notes incase you miss a class! I would take him again!

This was his first semester teaching here, and he was an awesome Professor. 3 small books you have quizzes over, 2 analytical papers and 3 Exams. He doesn't post PP's online so make sure to take good notes in his lectures and pay attention and you should be good. Sometimes he'll get really into some subjects and he's dorky which is hilarious.

Dr. Bach was a great teacher; I've never truly been fond of history but he made it more than manageable. There were three books we had to read aside from the textbook, but they weren't bad at all. You have to write an essay on two of them. You'll also have a quiz for each. Take good notes and refer back to them when studying, and you will be fine.

This is an easy class. He makes lectures fun and entertaining. The 3 books he makes you read are not difficult and are interesting. I did not go to class all the time and still got an A.

Dr. Bach is a funny, educated history professor at TAMU. His lectures are purely from the textbook and does not post his lecture notes online. If you skip class, make sure you're keeping up with the content through the textbook. He has 3 books that each have a follow-up quiz, but very easy novels. There's one essay to write (maybe two).

If you read the three novels assigned and pay moderate attention during lecture you will get an A.

Dr. Bach is an awesome teacher, he is very lecture based so even missing one class can be detrimental. As long as you read the books he assigns the quizzes are super easy. I'm hoping to get him for my HIST 106 class.

Professor Bach's history 105 course was an easy B but requires some extra work to receive an A. His lectures are about as interesting as the history of the US up to 1887 can be. You can tell in his lectures that he cares about what he teaches.

Very nice teacher, always love comming to his lectures, he manages to make boring topics intresting. his stories he comes up with are hillarious as well. There will be 3 books you have to read but the quizes on them arent hard

Very lecture heavy. I bought the textbook for this class but didn't use it at all. Very lecture heavy all the test questions are taken from the lecture and he doesn't post them anywhere so go to class or find a friend to send you notes if you do miss class.

Be prepared to read a lot, 3 books for quizzes and an analytical paper and the textbook for the tests. Attendance isnt mandatory but it helps if you go and take good notes. Good professor overall!

Although Dr. Bach only assigns three exams and three book quizzes, they are very easy. I only show up to class on days where there is a test or quiz. Honestly, just read the textbook and books he assigns and you can easily get an A. He's funny, and reminds me of Toby from The Office.

Was a great professor. show up to class and take notes as his tests are lecture heavy. If you have solid noted, reading isn't necessary to make an A. His book quizzes are relatively straight forward and easy assuming you read the book lol.

Great professor very passionate about history, not extremely difficult if you go to class and pay attention and definitely read the books for the quizzes.

Go to class and you'll be okay if you get all the powerpoint notes. The textbook isn't mandatory, but goes along with the lectures if you need that extra boost. He tries to make the class interesting so going isn't hard. READ the books- 2/3 aren't on sparknotes and the quizzes WILL catch up to you (a big 45% of your grade)

Pretty good professor overall. The textbook isn't mandatory as long as you go to class. However, you definitely need to thoroughly read the 3 assigned books. 2/3 of them are NOT on sparknotes. Make a note of the dates of the quizzes and start reading well ahead of time!

Dr. Bach is really nice and his exams are multiple choice because he does not have TA's. Go to class AND read the textbook, my exam grade went up when I decided to open the book. He gives exams reviews the class before exam days, which were helpful and if you need help/not understanding the material he is there to help, BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK!

There are only 6 grades in this class, and each one counts. He's a pretty good lecturer and his tests and quizzes are not easy, but they are straight-forward. There aren't any trick questions or very specific details. Overall, he seems to care about how well his students do and he'll help you out if you really need it.

Tests are pretty easy. Just take decent enough notes during the lecture and you'll be fine.

Dr. Bach is a real solid choice when considering a HIST 105 professor. His lectures are PPT based but he elaborates on each point so make sure to take good notes. He often repeats or lists off important information that is mostly likely going to be on the test so pay attention and write it down! I would recommend him to anyone looking to take 105.

Three novels, I listened to the audiobooks and aced the quizzes for them. The exams are based mostly on the lectures. There will be a question or two from the textbook, but I never touched the textbook and still got A's on the exams. Unless you plan on reading the textbook, take good lecture notes.

Damon has to be my all time favorite teacher so far. If you enjoy history then this is the professor to have. D-Dogg lectures like no other and even throws in a funny story sometimes to keep things interesting. I am an engineer major and he made me consider switching to a history major. Definitely take this class if you get the chance

Dr. Bach is very passionate about history and you can see it in how he lectures. Very nice and caring professor. He doesn't post notes online so if you skip class you'll have to get notes from someone else. Tests are very lecture heavy so go to class. Has 3 quizzes over 3 novels, I got A's and I read the books. Very pleased with his class.

GO TO CLASS! Almost the entire test is comprised of material from class. Lectures are kind of boring, to be honest. But Dr. Bach is a cool guy and he rounded up my 89 to a 90.

Sips soda all through class like a boomer sipping monster, honestly a hilarious guy whether he wants to be or not. Quizzes are pretty heavily weighted into the final grade but if you read the book at all you'll be fine, he curves everything just a bit, but focus on the lectures and study. Only a few questions from the textbook but read the books.

Overall a pretty harmless class experience. Exams are almost entirely based on the lectures, so be sure to show up for class (the textbook is hardly used at all, so there's a chance to save some money). Professor Bach himself is a nice person, but the lectures he gives are kinda dry. Nothing too exciting, but still pretty far from a bad time.

I loved Bach, he was a great professor. He loves to tell stories and make jokes (that aren't the best loll). I highly recommend taking him, and I def wish I would have taken him for HIST 105. His exams are mainly over lecture, so take good notes! He has powerpoints too which are very helpful!

Bach is a super chill professor. His lectures can seem dry but he really knows what he's talking about. I never read the textbook and used sparknotes for the other books and did alright. He rounded my 88.8 up to an A without me asking. He's a great guy and I would recommend going to the lectures and reading so you get the most out of the class!

He's a great professor and he obviously knows a great deal about history. His lectures are a little dry but once you get into them it really isn't that bad. Dr. Back also really cares about his students and will help you as much as he can as long as you reach out to him. There are three books to read for this class, and if you don't you won't pass.

This class was asynchronous for me, but it was pretty easy. There are a lot of lectures, but if you stay up to date you will pass. He's easy to reach out to and offers extra credit. I also think he's pretty funny.

Everyone complaining didn't do the literal bare minimum. Exams are pretty much word for word from the lectures, and the quizzes are super easy if you read the material - I also found all three books really interesting. He's entertaining and doesn't make learning about history boring. If you keep up with your work, you'll make an A.

Dr. Bach's lectures are very captivating and he likes to throw some random facts to make the class a bit more interesting. My only issue was that he assigned textbook reading besides from the lectures and I sometimes didn't have time to read the chapters. However, if you manage your time well in terms of the reading you should be able to get an A.

Dr. Bach's class is the definition of "show up and you'll pass". All of his exams have questions that are lifted word for word from the lectures and the book quizzes are really simple if you get the main idea of the books. The papers are a bit tricky to get right but it's not too bad. He's also a really entertaining lecturer and I enjoyed his class

Dr. Bach was great this semester. Only 3 tests and 3 quizzes over 3 books. He also offers an extra credit assignment at the beginning fo the semester. Dr. Bach is a great professor and genuinely cares about how his students do in his course and is very engaging during his lectures. He also makes funny jokes too. Be sure to read textbook too.

Took him for both 105 and 106. Awesome prof!! Very passionate. Attendance not mandatory but test material is straight from lectures, so go to class!!

Overall, Bach is a great prof. He's way better than my 105 prof. He gives one extra credit opportunity. BUT read the assigned readings. And go to lecture, the exams are open note.

Professor Bach was amazing! His lectures are easy to understand. Just make sure you take notes! His tests are solely on lectures. There are 3 quizzes over books you should read because those are weighted more than tests. His tests and quizzes are open-note. He also offers extra credit!

Dr. Bach: three exams and three quizzes. There was an extra credit assignment in the beginning. It's a little stressful listening to his lectures for the first couple of times but once you figure out the format it is totally fine. He tries to be funny, isn't funny, and that just makes it funnier. Take notes on your computer so you can CTRL-F.

Bach is a very good prof. I don't enjoy history a ton, but he made the class interesting and I enjoyed going. The tests are open note, but the time limit on the tests make it hard to actually use your notes, so make sure you don't rely solely on your notes to do good. There is quite a bit of reading and papers, but nothing is super hard.

Professor Bach is FUNNY!!!!!! Absolutely HILARIOUS!!!! He is very passionate about what he is talking about and it makes taking notes so much easier. All you have to do is show up to class and listen to him and you are good to go! Attendance isnt required but I wouldnt recommend missing his lectures, they each contain valuable info, & HES FUNNY!

Dr. Bach is the kind of prof that if you show up to lecture you will get an A on the exams. With only 9 grades in the semester if you skip class, you simply won't pass because he does not post his lectures. You have to read 3 books, one was pretty boring but the other 2 are good. Overall solid prof and fair course.

Lectures are entertaining and info-packed--if you don't attend lectures and take good notes, you'll have a tough time on tests since powerpoints/recordings aren't posted. Even with good notes and active reading, tests require quite a bit of studying, but this really forces you to learn and retain the material. Tests and quizzes are not open-note.

BEST HISTORY TEACHER AT THIS UNIVERSITY HANDS DOWN!!!!! 3 tests, 3 quizzes and 2 essays + and extra credit opportunity! Everything is very straightforward! Lectures are very interesting and Bachs passion for history is very evident from day one. Not to mention his humor is top tier! Funniest professor ive ever had. TAKE HIM! You wont regret it!

Not gonna lie, history is boring. Prof. Bach has an obvious passion for teaching history. He doesnt give PowerPoints so you type as he talks about the topic. Theres 3 exams and 3 quizzes. The exams are over small details so study!! No final, which is amazing.

This class is made up of 3 exams, 3 quizzes, 1 extra credit opportunity, and no final. The 3 quizzes are on 3 books that we have to read. I read all 3 and the quizzes were super easy. The 3 exams are pretty easy if you take notes. He has a powerpoint for each lecture with the main points but you have to take notes over what he says for each point.

I loved Dr. Bach! He's a super nice guy, straight to the point. You'll know what you need to do to succeed and he'll be straight forward about what's on the test and what to study. There is a lot of reading but if you do all your work and study the test and quizzes will be easy.

Grade is based entirely on tests and quizzes but the questions he asks are pretty easy. Take good notes in lecture and you will be fine. Great prof

I took Dr. Bach for both HIST105 & HIST106. I've never been the best at history, but Dr. Bach's course is straight-forward & engaging. The course does not take much of your time, as your grade is made up of a few tests/papers/quizzes. Go to class & read the required books & you'll pass. Definitely recommend taking your HIST credits with Dr. Bach!

I LOVED Professor Bach! He is SUPER funny and clearly loves what hes teaching. You will take 3 quizzes, 3 exams, and write 2 EASY papers. Theoretically, you probably should go to class because his exams are based solely off of his lectures but, I skipped often and passed everything just by studying quizlets. Overall, great professor & easy class.

He is a solid choice for 105/106. My only negative feedback is that he assigns 3 books to read with quizzes and papers over each and this took a lot of time away from my more important classes during the weekdays. Overall the A is relatively easy to get, you just will have to put in a little more work for it.

Dr. Bach is a really great professor. While lectures are required to pass the tests, the tests are verbatim from the lectures which makes them quite easy as long as you take notes. There are 3 book quizzes and 2 papers but reading the SparkNotes is sufficient. Just do the extra credit.

Dr. Bach is truly interested in what he teaches and it makes his lectures a lot more fun and easy to follow. Go to class every day, write down everything he says in your notes, make flashcards, study them, and you'll do great in the class. I sometimes skimmed the textbook and I'd say it was much less important than his lecture content.

I personally love history and professor Bach just expanded that. His classes are lecture only, but all assignments(analytical papers) are easily graded if you just cover a good portion of what the story is telling you. He offers a whole point extra credit bonus which was exactly what I needed to get an A last semester. He is great.

Course grade based on 2 exams + final and 2 essays over books. Assigned books are short. Best lecturer ive had. Does not upload notes online. Exams are easy if you pay attention in class. Essays are graded easily and only need to be 2 pages long double spaced. The syllabus seems scary, but this is an easy history class if you do your work.

Bach loves his job and talking about history. You HAVE to read the books. You are graded on a few things so you have to do the work in order to succeed. The lectures are a little heavy. The tests cover both lectures and textbook. He offered extra credit at the end of the semester. Reminds me of Toby Flenderson in the best way possible. Take him!!

Good prof. Exams are almost entirely lecture material. Go to lecture and take notes. Lots of information in lecture so I recommend taking notes on your laptop. Lecture recordings and lecture notes aren't posted online. There are 2 papers to write and 3 books to read with quizzes on each. Read over lecture notes before the exam and you'll do fine.

I had Dr. Bach for both HIST 105 and 106. Extremely lecture heavy, MUST go to class. Very kind and obviously passionate about history. He does his best to make it interesting. Quizzes are easy if you know the basic plot lines.

As long as you go to class and take notes, you should be fine. Plenty of quizlets for the exams. I enjoyed the lectures and didn't find the exams difficult at all, but I did take thorough notes and showed up to every class. My favorite prof of the semester.

Great prof, just go to class, take notes, and read the books, and you will be fine.

He's a nice guy, lectures heavy but will answer questions. He goes on little tangents sometimes but it's not annoying because he's just so wholesome. You get what you put into this class. As long as you show up, take good notes, and read the books you'll be fine. Tests are straight from notes & quizzes are straight from books. Didn't use textbook.

Dr. Bach was very passionate about American history, and made it very clear. He made dorky jokes, but always related back to the topic. We read 3 books, but they all helped understand the stories behind all the history a lot more. Overall, Dr. Bach is an amazing professor, and doesn't want anyone to fail and is very clear about what you need to do.

Few tests and very lecture heavy

Summer Session. You can def sparknotes the books, but 100% look on quizlet for exam study guides. Recommends a textbook but it didn't really help me any. LONG lectures. Makes funny dad jokes sometimes, but a very sweet guy! 2 Exams, 3 Quizzes, 1 Final. :)

The class is incredibly easy. Most of the grades come from the three books we have to read across the year and their corresponding quizzes/papers. The exams make up the remainder of the grades and are very easy to prepare for. He is very lecture heavy and exams are derived from lecture, but most of the content is easily found online.

Professor Bach is very passionate about teaching history. The quizzes are based on the books you have to read, so read the books!!! And study for the exams because they are worth a big percentage of your grades! The TA was very helpful and the reviews he gives help out a lot so don't miss class!

Do not think this class will be an easy A. There are three books and quizzes that are extremely specific. This class is very straightforward, and I took APUSH in high school, so it was like a refresher. However, the exams were very specific. I didn't think the exams were common sense; they were hard. Make sure to go to class!

There are only 8 grades in his class: 3 quizzes, 2 papers, and 3 exams. The quizzes and papers are over 3 different books (I recommend finding a free audiobook, using 1.5x-2x speed), and the exams are over the lectures. Lectures can be boring but you need to go to them, and he'll occasionally veer off, saying things related but off-topic.

Dr. Bach is a very good lecturer. He adds a lot of interesting commentary to the lectures too. You have to either type fast or if you can't (like me) you have to write fast. There are very few things that the grade is based on so you have to do well in everything. However, there is no homework and this class takes very little time outside of class.

Professor Bach is awesome! Although he says there are required books, I managed an A+ without reading! Just be sure to attend class and take good notes over his lectures cause tests are essay format and you basically have to write what you learned from his lectures.

3 exams, 3 quizzes, and two papers, with capacity for 1 point of extra credit. Lecture slides are not available anywhere, so ensure you have good note-taking strategies. Exams are pulled from the lectures and textbook, while quizzes are solely from the books. Wouldn't recommend for those who don't enjoy history.

People make a big deal out of Dr. Bach's exams but I personally don't see it at all. It's very straightforward what is expected of you. If you go to class and take notes you will have no problem doing well in this course. His lecture's are extremely boring but you need to go cause he doesn't post anything online. Cool dude would take him again.

Easy A if you pay attention and take detailed notes. You will have to read three books (or very good summaries) and write papers on two of them and there are three exams (not cumulative). Lectures are not that interesting but he occasionally shows interesting videos.

Dr. Bach is my favorite professor that I've ever had! He is passionate about history & his lectures are interesting & informative. He is understanding & helpful when you have questions. Paying attention and taking notes during the lectures is essential to doing well, that is what you will use for tests and projects. I highly recommend taking him!

Professor Bach is an excellent professor! Even though the class is graded by few things, he makes the requirements for each project clear. He isn't a super tough grader, so an A is possible. The books aren't necessary as the exams are over his lectures! Take good notes though as that is what the exams will be based upon!

The thing I look for in a history professor is a guy who can tell a story. And boy does Professor Bach deliver. Pay attention in lecture and take thorough notes. He doesn't really use the textbook on his exams. He had three required readings, the quizzes for which are not hard. The exams aren't difficult either.

The are very few grades in the class, so if you have an off day it can be difficult to recover. But, quizzes and exams were relatively easy. He is sure to emphasis the points that you need to remember in lecture. Reading the 3 assigned books can be a pain when trying to juggle other classes though.

Attendance isn't mandatory; taking notes during his lectures is going to be your main study material for the exams. He is a funny and lighthearted guy who will make lectures interesting, There's 3 quizzes and 3 essays for 3 books (that you buy/access yourself) that aren't difficult (I didn't read one of them and got a 100 for an essay)

Professor Bach has hands down been one of my favorite professors at A&M. He did not have mandatory attendance, but you will fall behind if you do not attend class. The exams are mainly based on lecture and some direct things he says will be on the exam. The textbook can be helpful though. I would 100% recommend, because he is passionate and caring.

This class is very lecture heavy, so make sure you are taking notes! Dr. Bach gives you two unexcused absences which was nice to have somewhat of a choice if you wanted to go to class or not. This two written exams are not bad just make sure you are putting down as much information as possible and the book quiz is not bad either.

I say attendance isn't mandatory, but I highly suggest going. While GroupMe has lecture notes most of the time, Bach says specific things that will be on exams. For the class, it was graded by 2/3 papers, which are leniently graded, and 3 exams, not cumulative.

Prof. Bach was a caring professor and you could tell he wanted his students to be engaged in the lecture. The 3 books we read were followed by very simple quizzes. If you pay attention and take notes during lecture you won't have any problems.

I loved Dr.Bach! I took his summer course for a credit and I loved it. He's a funny guy and makes his lectures pretty engaging, we did lots of lecture notes but I am sure that was because this was a 5-week course. We had 3 quizzes over books and then 3 tests that were all stuff from lectures. Attendance is not required but def go for notes.

I took Mr. Bach for Hist 471 and he was great. Attendance is mandatory but his lectures are engaging and I never felt myself checking the clock. There are 3 books but you only have a quiz over one and its really not bad. 2 test, one quiz, one group project. Overall, I would take him again! Just show up and take notes and you will do great!

Dr. Bach was a great teacher. Be aware that missing class means that you are missing notes because he does not post any of his lectures online. I never had any homework in this class other than the 2 papers. The papers are very easy and are a maximum of 2 pages double spaced. Tests are very easy. Make sure to read the 3 books, SparkNotes works too.

Attendance isn't mandatory but I really recommend going because tests are only based on what he says in his lectures. This class is so easy if you put in minimal effort to go to his lectures, take notes, and do a couple hours of studying before exams. He is passionate about the subjects and cares about his students. I absolutely loved Dr. Bach!

Dr. Bach is an amazing lecturer and is truly passionate about history. My only complaint is that he does not post slides so the only way to get the information is to attend lectures. Take good notes! There are 3 book quizzes which are not too difficult if you read and 2 essays which are graded leniently. You only need an 88.5 to get an A!

I like the prof but I took an immense amount of notes and I never felt prepared for his exams. He adds things on the exams that he did not go over. The TA for this semester seemed like she was on a power trip & was not helpful. 3 exams + 2 essays + 3 quizzes over interesting books-make sure to read because there are a lot of details on quizzes.

Professor Bach's class was easy, and pre-made study guides for all the exams can be found online on quizlet. On the exam week, be sure to check for them, as you could easily skip a lot of class and still pass the exam with an A if you study enough quizlets. The quizzes are also easy, but reading the books are time consuming, so make time for that.

Damon Bach is an amazing proffessor. While his lectures may get boring sometimes, his tests are very lecture heavy based. Meaning most of what is on the test he WILL cover in his lectures so even though attendance isn't mandatory if you do not go to class you will not do well. His class is fairly easy with only a few books to read.

I think I should've done better in his class. The essays were not too bad. The fact we had to read 3 whole books was a little demanding. I think that he also had very specific information on the tests but if you showed up and paid attention in class its wasn't too bad.

Took him over the summer, class wasn't so bad. He makes things really clear on the first day of school of what to expect from his class and how to prepare for it. He has a clear grading criteria and it's only based on 3 quizzes (off of assigned books) and 3 tests (from the lecture and textbook). There is a textbook that 's required too.

While I am not a big fan of history, I really enjoyed Dr. Bach's lectures. He is extremely passionate about what he teaches! We are graded on 3 exams, 3 quizzes and 2 papers. For exams just attend the test review and you will do fine. Dr. Bach gives a lecture over the history of rock and roll which was really enjoyable as well.

Dr. Bach is such a chiller. 3 exams total (including final), none of which are cumulative. 3 quizzes over readings/video material. 2 essays that were graded super leniently. He always has an interesting personal story to bring up in his lecture thats funny. Super nice guy with great TAs for the course as well.

He is very passionate about what he does! The class definitely requires paying attention to lectures as assignments are based solely on them. There are only five grades- proctored, closed book, and 4-page, midterm and final essay, a quiz on a book, a group presentation, and your teaching philosophy.

Dr. Bach was such a kind and funny professor. His class was easy to get an A in and I knew exactly what was expected of me. He makes the lectures interesting and he is passionate about what he does. The essays are graded leniently and the tests are not difficult at all. Overall, I strongly suggest taking Dr. Bach!

Never studied more than 30 min for any of the quizzes/exams including the final and got a 93. Two books that you're supposed to read...didn't read them. One book you'll write an essay over, mine was bad but still got an A. Pay attention in lectures and you'll be fine. No homework besides 2 essays (one over documentary). Final is non-comprehensive.

Not a lot of assignments (3 tests, 2 essays and 3 quizzes). he is a good lecturer with a sense of humor but there is a lot of material covered. No exam is cumulative! he doesn't post lecture slides so you have to go to class for the information but as long as you do your work its not a hard class to do okay in

I looked forward to this class every day. His lectures are entertaining, and basically never got boring. He genuinely loves his material. There are three books you have to read and two papers to write, but they are graded very generously so they aren't anything to stress about. Attendance is not mandatory but he doesn't put anything online

Most reviews on here are exactly right. He's clearly passionate about what he talks about and has a great sense of humor. The lectures aren't boring and note taking isn't very difficult, but you do need to show up as he does not post lectures online. One of the best teachers/professors I've ever had!

A great professor if you are willing to put in effort for each test. The bare minimum of studying the night before can get you an A on any quiz/test. 1 paper for extra credit, 3 quizzes, 3 exams. Exams are straight from notes. If you miss anything in the lecture, look up his studocu notes and you can fill in any blanks. Each test is weighted heavy.

His classes are very lecture heavy so make sure to show up!! He's very passionate about history so he provides lots of facts and explanations for why and how things happen!

Dr Bach is a Solid Man

Prof. Bach's lectures can be dry, but he covers crucial material. The 3 tests, 2 essays, and 3 quizzes are tough if you don't attend. unstuck study and the free textbook helped me ace this class.

Lecture heavy professor. Pay attention to lectures and take notes. Other than that, there are assignments based on books which you have plenty of time to read.

Dr. Damon R. Bach is passionate about the subject. His lectures can be long but the class is often released early. He likes to incorporate light-hearted jokes occasionally that keep the audience engaged. The papers are graded generously, quizzes are not difficult and over generic aspects of the readings, and the tests are not cumulative.

I love Dr. Damon Randolph Bach. His lectures are engaging compared to other profs, and he loves to crack jokes from time to time. This class is light, only graded by 3 tests, 3 quizzes, and 2 papers, all graded very generously. Nothing is cumulative. Take this class for an easy A and to bask in Dr. Bach's aura during lecture.

i bombed the 1st quiz, but the rest of the term was super smooth and easy. you read 3 books with quizzes, write 2 papers, and 3 lecture tests. if you want notes, show up to class. dr. bach is funny and will tell you everything you wanted to know and even things you didn't want to know (like the height and weight of the average civil war soldier)

There aren't very many grades in this class, just tests, papers, and 3 quizzes. He is very straightforward and is not interested in making it any harder than it needs to be. I liked him and I am taking him again for 106.

Professor Bach is chill. Attendance isn't mandatory but you need to go to class because everything is covered in lecture, and he doesn't post the slides. It does get boring sometimes but he tries to make it more interesting. You have two papers, three quizzes, and three exams. It's easy work and the tests aren't hard.

Damon Bach while he may have a dull lecture style, you will learn in his class.

dr. bach is a g! he is a heavy lecturer and does not post his slides, so you have to go to class! there are a couple books you need to read but the quizzes over them were easy. the papers are graded easy if you follow the rubric. the ta does a review before the exam (study it!) pretty easy class if you show up and study!

Dr. Bach was one of my favorite professors from last semester! I am not a history person, but his class was great! He gives great lectures, so take notes on what he says rather than just simple bullet points from the powerpoints and you will do great. READ THE BOOKS HE ASSIGNS! Just read them!!! And take notes while doing so. Super great guy.

Professor Bach is very lecture heavy, so we were typing away the whole class. There are 3 things you need to read outside of class for 3 quizzes and 2 of those books needed a 2 page paper written on them. Exams were fairly easy as long as you studied the review guide given to you (you make it in class). GO TO CLASS because he doesn't post slides.

Dr Bach's class was boring at times but I am glad I took him. He is clearly passionate about what he is teaching. I took him for 105 and then am in his 106 class right now. The class consists of 3 exams, none of which are cumulative, 2 required essays (3 options) on books assigned to read outside of class. The quizzes are not hard if you read!

Great speaker. Attendance not mandatory but he does not post any material online. If you want the best material you need to go to class. If you have to skip, you can find old material online, but no guarantee that it's confirmed for the current sem. Tests do not require much thinking, you either know it or you don't. Memorization heavy. 2 essays.

Honestly, this man is the goat. Saw him walking to his office with Whoop Coop in hand, what more needs to be said? Great sense of humour and clearly passionate about the subject. Show up to class and you'll be fine. Ignore the bad reviews, those are the 0.67 GPA students.

DAMON RANDOLPH BACH IS THE GOAT. Tests are straightforward if you take good lecture notes and essays are graded very generously. Quizzes can be rough though if you don't read. Damon's lectures are engaging with video clips frequently shown. He is a funny and entertaining lecturer who clearly has a passion for what he teaches. Solid man. Take him.🗿

I had never been a history person, but I took a history class with him last semester and liked it so much that i took the next one this semester. He puts a lot of work into his lectures and is clearly passionate about what he is teaching. I always appreciate the videos he chooses to share with class. He is also really funny when he wants to be!!

Dr. Bach was an amazing professor! He lectures very well and keeps it interesting with his funny jokes. He is very knowledgeable and presents all information very clearly. Things he emphasizes in class will be on the tests, which are not hard as long as you study. He's super interesting to talk to, especially about music if you get the chance.

Really great Professor. He makes the lectures fun and interesting. There is not much to do throughout the semester other than a couple of papers, a few quizzes, and tests. Tests are based on lectures. The TA harshly graded my papers, taking 25% off of one of them for being a few sentences away from a full 2 pages, but the course was great!

Graded off 2 exams and a non-cumulative final, 2 essays, and 3 quizzes. 1% extra credit opportunity. Not difficult, but must attend lectures to do well, does not post slides. Quizzes can be difficult if you don't read/watch. Papers are graded easy. Reviews by TAs cover most of exam material, but tend to leave out some info, take good notes.

I didn't go to class that much after the first exam, and I still did great on the exams by looking up Quizlets to study. Definitely recommend going to the TA's review day before the exam!!! Overall nice teacher and always ended on time. He's just a tad bit socially awkward when you go up and talk to him, but his lecturing skills were awesome.

Dr. Bach's class is very easy if you pay attention to lectures (he doesn't record or post them) which often are quite entertaining when he drops his jokes. He only has 3 exams and 3 quizzes so there aren't a lot of grades but he does have an extra credit opportunity to add 1 point to your final grade which can be helpful.

Makes history not boring. One of the most amazing profs you'll have during your time here 105 and 106 are a breeze with him.

I took a summer class with him and it was super fun and informative. The class is very lecture heavy but once you get used to

really awesome, and I will take his class again next semester. He does lecture the entirety of the class, but I find them entertaining because he includes interesting facts in his lectures. He had us do 3 tests, 3 quizzes (each on a diff novel) and 1 paper assignment, so you have to do good on those since theres no hw. SI's were super helpful!

Professor Bach is a good prof if you have the will to sit through his lectures. Lectures are VERY boring and you only have a couple grades. No HW, 2 essays, 3 quizzes, and 3 exams. The exams are very easy if you study and take notes in class. Essays are graded OK, not too harsh. Some of the quizzes seemed a bit difficult but others weren't too bad.

His class is very lecture heavy and you will need to go to class as he does not post anything online. You will be graded over 3 exams (non-cumulative), 3 quizzes over the books he assigns, and 2 essays.

I thought he was a great professor. Lecture based course and doesn't post any lectures online. 3 exams, 3 book quizzes and 2 analytical essays over the books. Show up to class, take notes, and find quizlets. Tests are pretty much like the lecture notes just in question form.

I liked this professor he was silly and pretty easy to follow! he grades based on 3 exams, 3 quizzes, and 2 essays all the readings needed for the quizzes and essays are provided for free. He does not post his slides. If you actually put in the effort you will definitely get an A, I struggle with history but I actually enjoyed this course!

I liked him as a person and would be interesting to listen to outside a lecture environment. His lectures just felt very long and monotone. He also spoke extremely fast so it was difficult trying to catch what he was saying sometimes. I enjoyed the lecture material and he did make it entertaining at times. The books and movie were pretty easy.

Amazing professor, just test heavy though.

Great guy. If you don't attend class, then it's not hard to catch back up but make sure to take notes or ask someone for their notes. SI sessions are helpful too!
