Great Prof! Class was never boring!

To do well in the class write down as much of what he says in your class. He also likes when you partcipate. Not a lot of nightly reading, but have to read 4 longer novels or none fiction books per semester.

Egerton Is the Best Prof. at Le Moyne. He is tough, but you learn alot, If your serious about college, in that, your here to learn, TAKE Egerton.

He's brilliant, he is liberal, he is demanding, and he gives as much as he expects back from his students; don't take Egerton if you can't take a stand on historical issues. You CANNOT get a better lecturer. Did I mention that he is beautiful, too?

Good class, Good prof, more difficult but you actually learn and he makes history interesting. If you're looking for an easy A don't talk him but an enjoyable class he's the guy!

A smart guy who gives really easy to follow lectures and shows interest in the material. Although he has a blatant political bias, he is actually a very fair teacher.

Very interesting, if you do not like lecture do not take the class, there are some discussions,but not alot. Kept it interesting and fast

Good professor but tough grader. Talks a mile a minute which makes it hard to follow him

Very intelligent and witty. Severe political bias and shows it in the classroom, but makes no bones about it - he states his opinion and stands by them.

... rockin' the earring. And he's a good prof too. Meow!

when i was in his classes, i called him "god" to my friends. he was my advisor, and helped my through my intense fear of public speaking. i never got better than a B in anything i took with him, but i learned a lot. his texts are really dry, generally, but very useful (we used primarily the "major problems" series). yay doug!

seems pretty cool. is a bit of an ass but all around a good teacher.

Presents a lot of material, but in a very clear and precise manner, Very approachable, though he does like to joke a bit.

Oh, if you love History and love a funny, interesting teacher you will LOVE Doug! He tells history for the story that it is, gives great notes, and speaks slow enough so you get everything! He loves teaching and you'll know it, his assigned books aren't the easiest but they're helpful if you do them.

good teacher! makes the material interesting and is helpful with answering questions. the class requires a lot of reading. as long as you attend class, read, & take notes you will be fine.

Egerton is a brilliant professor. Great class as long as you READ!

Egerton is a great professor. His lectures are awesome and the class flies by. As long as you do the reading and listen you'll do good. Also, very helpful with the term papers.

Professor Egerton is a very tough grader, but he is easily on of the best professors at Le Moyne. He is very knowledgeable about History and you can tell it is his passion. I liked his classes so much, he is now my advisor. If you get the chance, definitely take a class with him!!

Took several courses with this guy, he is one of, if not the greatest, prof's Le Moyne has to offer.

Egerton loves to teach, that's clear from the first class and evident throughout the semester. He sets a lot of reading but only because he wants his students to LEARN something & actively THINK about the subject matter. He is a tough grader but only because he believes his students can do better. Great professor, great sense of humor.

Egerton is by far one of my, if not my favorite professor at Le Moyne. He is difficult if you don't read or participate in class. Also, the Midterm and Final require a good deal of studying. However, the class is amazing, interesting, and did I mention he's not hard on the eyes?

Love him! Egerton knows how to deliver a great lecture while simultaneously getting his students involved. He's a tough grader but he also gives you every possible advantage to do well.

Great professor. He can be tough if you don't participate. Readings for class are mandatory if you want to get above a B. Very interesting though, he is passionate about the subject and gives study guides for exams.

Dr. Egerton is the single best professor I ever had. He is a great teacher and a true educator. He makes the subject seem relevant, and important and makes you want to learn more about what he's teaching. Read what he tells you to read, study for his tests, and write the paper and you'll do great. Take as many classes with him as you can.

Even though he is a tough grader, I learned a lot in his class. He definitely knows what he's talking about and is always willing to help you. As long as you do the readings before class, and study hard for his tests, you'll do fine.

Perhaps the greatest professor that le moyne has to offer. Doug is a true educator and actually makes you feel like you're getting your money's worth. He went above and beyond to help me with paper topic and offered very useful advice. He cracks a lot of jokes and it certainly helps lighten the mood. Get ready to be educated and quit complaining.

Dr. Egerton may be a tough grader but he is always open to helping his students. To those that complain about him being a tough grader, did you bring your papers to him during his office hours?I bet not. He is an overall great professor. His powerpoints clearly reflect the answers on the tests and his study sessions before the tests help a ton.

Professor Egerton is great. He will take personal time out of his day to help you and make sure you are learning and understanding the information from his classes. He has no love for freshmen, so if you're a first year taking his class be prepared to read and actually contribute or he's not going to care about you or your grade if you don't.

Great Professor, always willing to help you understand the information. Always willing to help you with your work or really getting the best results in the class.

Great teacher who had very interesting and engaging lectures. Class participation is key. Just show up, pay attention and do your work and you will be fine!

Mr. Egerton is a really nice teacher despite his credentials for his class. Participation does matter which kinda sucks. There is a lot of reading that is involved with the class. I personally find his World Civ class super interesting. One paper for the year. Two tests. Three pop quizzes. I would take another class with him.

Dr. Egerton is an incredibly smart man. His class may not be the easiest one, with lots of reading and discussion involved, but you will learn more from him than from other professors.

Go to class, take notes, go home, study and write your papers and you'll be fine. Prof. Egerton has the most interesting lectures out of all the courses I've had. They are much easier to follow if you've done the reading, but they are understandable even if you fall behind in the textbook. I'd definitely take one of his classes again.

If I could give him a six in helpfulness I would. Very intelligent person who most definitely knows his topic. Interesting class and engaging lectures! Office hours help so much and he will go out of his way to help you figure out where to go next with writing your paper.

First year history class involved a lot of reading, but lectures were always interesting. Grade only based on two tests, one 10 page paper, participation and 5 surprise pop quizzes. Only homework is textbook reading to prepare for class. Tests are straightforward and doable. Professor Egerton is willing to help with the paper.

There's a lot of reading involved with this course. But it is history, so what did you expect? Participation matters a lot, as others have said. Midterm, 10pg paper, 3 pop quizzes and a final are the only grades he gives. He is helpful though when it comes to the paper. Good professor.

Grade is purely based on a midterm, 3 pop quizes, a 10p paper, participation and a final. No study guides for either bug tests, which leaves you studying about a hundred topics that may possibly be 1 of the 10 on the test. He's very funny, and is great if you're a history major, not so much if anything else.

Dr. Egerton is my favorite professor, taking my third class with him. Classes are straight lecture, so if you like lecture and take good notes, take him. 2 tests, 1 paper, quizzes on readings are easy (Drops lowest quiz). I actually skip the readings, notes on lecture all I needed. Be sure to know importance of key terms, shown at start of class.

Dr. Egerton is one of the most helpful and intelligent professors I have ever had the privilege of taking a class with. He will go out of his way time and again to meet and work with you to make you a better writer and a better student. Anyone and everyone should take a class with him because it will truly change the way you look at learning.

A lot of reading... but it isn't horrible... if you listen in class and take good class notes you will succeed on the midterm and final. The 10 page research paper is hard, but he gives you more than enough time to get it done, and it can be one whatever you want, which is really cool.

I was really scared going into this class because I'd heard he was tough, but Dr. Egerton has become one of my favorite professors. Easy to reach outside of class, interesting lectures. Graded on participation, 2 tests and a 10 page paper and 3 pop quizzes. He's sympathetic, midterm wasn't bad at all if you paid attention and took good notes.

He's tough and has lots of reading due every class (5+ books!) (10 page paper!) but I've learned more from him than any other class. He is always there to help and is a caring, hilarious guy. Make sure you participate. Easily my favorite professor though.

Don't let these reviews fool you. Dr. Egerton is easily one of my favorite professors! He's brilliant and can answer almost any question you have, super helpful during office hours, and is so nice. Just make sure you come to class prepared, take notes and participate. Study for the midterm and final and you should have no problems. Great class.

Having Professor Egerton last semester was such a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the most respected voices and researchers in US Civil War and Reconstruction History. On top of this, add the fact he is extremely helpful in guiding you towards success in writing your research paper, I recommend any and all history students to take him!

Prof. Egerton is perhaps the most knowledgeable and well-distinguished professors that I have ever had. His plethora of knowledge about history commands immense respect, yet he is not at all condescending towards any student that portrays the ambition to work hard. As long as you do the short readings and take good notes you will do just fine.

Dr. Egerton is a super nice guy once you get to know him. He only gives 2 tests and a paper. As long as those are done well, participate in class so you get those points as well. There are three pop quizzes so do the readings he assigns.

LOVE! He is such an amazing Prof. and even though he does talk fast, as long as you take notes on the main points you'll be fine. His lectures are very engaging. Only 1 paper, a Midterm, Final, and 3 pop quizzes (drops lowest), I suggest skimming over the readings before class. Very accessible outside of class and wants you to succeed!

It's clear that those with a review below a 2 did not put in effort expected from college students. To succeed in this class do the readings, do the paper, and study for the 2 tests. Make sure to speak at least once per lecture. This is all that needs to be done to achieve a good grade in the class. Otherwise, Dr. Egerton is nice and understanding.

Professor Egerton is a great professor. His lectures are very informative and he is a great story teller. You will have two exams and pop quizzes but he does drop your worst score and give you extra credit throughout the semester. You will have a final paper that can boost your grade. I learned a lot from his class.
