So funny. Understanding about missing class or being late. Cool guy

Funny Guy. Good lecturer. Cool about late assignments. Does growl like a dog som

excellent prof. learned more about history hehe never forget his growl

He is pretty cool and a good lecturer... Beware when he turns out the lights!

I took him in the summer and it was hilarious. He does certain things that are so funny..his laugh! Overall, just do good on the papers and the lesson plan. Only one test and that is the final. You only need the books that you will write on for that week.

Wonderful professor. Great sense of humor, he'll amuse you! Do well on the in-class essay tests and you're set. Actually made prehistoric history interesting!

Funniest guy ever!! four easy papers, one test. really nice, makes the class very fun.

Funny, interesting, fun teacher. He actually loves his job and it shows! Ngggghhh! Ha! Do the critiques, study for final get an freakin' A. It's that simple.

great funny teacher... tests are very simple and if you write anything you get a c.. dont be fooled by his looks once the sweater comes off his arms are huge

Dr. Beasley is a riot. Take his classes for an easy A or B. Oh, and make sure you do the required readings for the course or otherwise, you will be struggling to cram them all in time for the final exam. Take Dr. Beasley, he's cool!

Funny guy, I actually learned alot about European History and enjoyed it. I went because I wanted to hear who he would make fun of next. Easy A if you read.

Dr. Beasley is incredible. He was the first history teacher who I felt confident trusting. He is entertaining, wise, accomodating, and very informative. Put forth the effort required, and you will undoubtedly do well; he wants his students to succeeed.

Beasley is probably the most entertaining teacher I've ever had. He keeps the class entertained and you learn a lot in the process. This was one of the best classes I ever took.

Dr. Beasley is a funny, funny guy! He speaks to students in such a way that we can relate to him. He's a walking dictionary on John Stuart Mill (you'll hear his name a lot in 408 HIST). He "grunts" occasionally so get used to that.

Mr. Beasley is a very good teacher. The lectures can sometimes be a blur, however, the exams are really easy. He makes lots of jokes, so classes will be entertained! Overall, it's a great class!

Beasley is super easy. He never gives less than a B on your essays all you need to do is pose a good arguement. Do the an essay in place of the final, its way easier and he gives a better grade to those who took the initiative to do it in the first place.

His class is excellent. He is the most random guy but he knows a lot about what he teaches. He is pretty funny too. Class is pretty easy, just quizzes, midterm and final.

Whooo...a hot pepper for him. He is hotter than a PERMANENT marker on a white board!!! Trust me!

He's very funny and makes class fun. He doesn't give exams except for the final.

this guy rocks... he's funny and makes everything interesting. he is a little scary but i ended up looking forward to class wondering what he would do next. if you can take good notes, don't buy any books.

Fun guy. Jokes around. All essay exams. Don't read all the books. You don't have to. Just read 3 or 4 and milk them for all they're worth.

Without a doubt, the most entertaining teacher I've ever had. Makes jokes, grunts, and knows more history then a textbook. A few papers and no midterms- he cares about grammar but will help you and give you points for improvement. Final is an essay.

There are a lot of grunts, a lot of jokes, and a lot of reading. Fortunately (at least for the summer session) the reading is not technically mandadory, meaning he doeesnt test you on any of it.

What an entertaining history class. Easy and fun! A few short papers, 1 presentation, final is an essay. Don't buy your books until you know what you want to write about for your essays. Hilarious teacher!!

An odd man grunts and giggles to himself. You don't need the book, and you really don't need to go to class that often. Just keep up to speed on the papers and he gives you the actual test to study from. Got a B w/little effort

Easy class, as long as you use textual support in your quizzes and exams. He tells you exam questions in advance, makes it easy to study, you just have to prepare yourself for some interesting grunts in class.

First meeting might think he is hard..but he is the easiest history teacher. Trust me!

Easy and very interesting. I thought all his "mannerisms" were really funny. He has this weird nasal thing that kicks in when he gets excited talking about history. He scares freshmen. One of the best teachers at State.

Smart, smart man. This professor remembers everything. He knows history inside out. If you want to learn history, take this class. You won't be sorry. Take good notes on lectures and there is no need to purchase all the books.

This guy knows everything about history, but sometimes it is hard because he gives so much info that you dont know what to write down. But overall an easy class, he is very funny, and keep your cell phones on and you will see a nice little dance

One of the funniest professors I've had. Makes going to class fun. The funny noises he makes about every 2 seconds will surely keep you entertained. Very helpful and easy grader.

Very funny and interesting teacher. I would recommend you to TAKE this teacher if you had to take the class. You will be entertained the whole period. Just make sure you take notes, and pay attention. His quizzes and test are essay style.

this class gave me a great concept of history. Very interesting class with a fun and entertaining teacher. i learned a lot. Beasley is great at explaining how historical events fit together to give you a complete picture of history.

One of the best professors I've had at state. Extremely funny, Had the whole class laughing. I had no real intrest in history but Beasley has an amazingly easy to follow teaching style. I have never been able to take in as much information as in this class.

funniest guy - makes it interesting. never thought i would look forward to going to any class. he moves around a lot and once pretended to be a flea dying of bubonic plague - sooo funny. lots of people think he's crazy & i think that's the idea. pretty easy A - didn't need to study or even take great notes, just sit there and laugh.

I really enjoyed his class. He has a unique sense of teaching style that grabs your attention with his funny antics like showing how S. Africans culture learned agriculture by accidently dropping "seeds" or trash out of a trash can everywhere! His essays,project are okay and he draws various timelines on the board that are useful for the final.

This man LOVES his job. That's totally essential in history. As excited on fridays (even tho we're his only class on F) as he is on M and W. He climbs tables and stuff. His crap maps are awesome! Warning: He's got these big ol' glasses and you cant tell if he's looking at you.

i love this guy, he love history, he explains well, but he talks too fast . and he does climb up tables . he laughs soooooo funny , hahahah ohh and he has to have his diet coke or else he wont survive the class, his test are based on some of the readings and what he lectures , and he only does essay based tests. overall very easy class.

I like this guy, just turn your papers in early so he gets them back to you to write your "style sheet" where you fix your errors, if you turn them in more than halfway through the semester, you will never get them back and miss the %15 "style sheet" credit like me, but I still got a B+, so overall this guy is easy and a good professor.

I expected this class to be boring. Its history! but Beasley made it fun and interesting. He got into his subject alot and it was fin to go to class. The in class essay quizes were easy. most of them open book and the final was two essays about the reading for the whole semester. If you go to class and listen to his lectures youll do great!

Nice Guy! Funny--Laughed the whole time. Quizes are all essay style, but he really doesn't grade that hard. Learned more in this History class than any other. I got a B+, but honestly, I never studied. If you are a natural writer and can go to class most of the time, take him!

He is not hot....boring...but easy, I got an A, but i attended most of the classes. There is one 5-7 page paper that is really lame, so in general this class is really boring and makes you wanna fall asleep, but I got an A.

His eloquent impromtue lectures can be compared to the direct mandate of God Himself. Funny man and an easy A. Class is boring, but very easy grader when it comes to papers. All quizes based on reading, so try to keep up. Hottest history prof at SDSU... dont listen to anything different! Beasley- Total babe!!!

Okay, he's not really hot, but funny. He does make weird noises but that makes him even funnier. Easy A if you do all the work. Didn't really go to class and had no idea about the final and got an A. He rambles on but makes you laugh. I took him twice so that means something. I'd take him again, better than other hist professors I've had.

Prof. Beasley is an awesome Professor! He makes history fun! He is SO funny! I would reccomend him to anybody. His assignments aren't hard, just do them in a timely fashion and it will help you!

He definitely has his own style........pay attention!!

one of the most hilarious teachers i have ever had. he is so lively in class. pay attention and take good notes. write your papers early. it's a pretty easy class, i didn't have to do much and i got a b.

Really funny guy, easy going. He gives you the quiz question(short essay) the week before. And the final was 2 short essays and he gives you topics to choose from a week before. Entertaining class and his lectures combined with the readings in the book are pretty easy to understand and follow.

THIS CLASS WAS VERRRY BORING! When people say entertaining, they're talking about his funny hang ups and quirks. Once you get past that this class is rather easy. He gives quiz and final questions in advanced (which are essays), and all you need to do is integrate evidence from readings into a cohesive paper. He's not too harsh on grading either

He is one of the best professors i have ever had. Very helpful and jokes around in class to make it more interesting. I learned a lot being in his class and now know things i never thought i would, he knows every single detail about history, very smart man. You will come out of the class feeling accomplished. Take him if you can.

Beasley is awesome. His teaching methods engage his audience and everyone benefits. I would recommend this course to anyone, and I?m looking forward to taking another course taught by this professor.

Beasley is the BEST!! I wish he taught more subjects of interest to me. Funny, brilliant, wonderful, really taught me how to write and read a ton of stuff!! Awesome all around.

He's hilarious. He goes off on tangents but it isn't too distracting. He reminds of someone that would be a character on Gilmore Girls because of how fast he talks... and don't worry he's not having an asthma attack after saying a joke, that's just his laugh. Good guy. 5 papers, and the final is 2 in class essays.

Awesome easy class... if you hate history it is boring but he can make it some days rather fun. P.S. His breathing/laughing is hilarious. Take him you'll understand! good teacher.

He is the best! I can't imagine taking any other professor for history after this. I learned SO much about the world through his useful intelligent lectures. He is so well prepared and organized it's amazing.

Funny dude. Took him during summer and his expectations are very clear. Take him.

One of the best professor I've had, he is funny, he doesn't grade hard on you,and he is comprehensive...If you want an easy A and learn a lot at the same time..take this class...

Funny, brillant, and balding awesome Professor Beasley. Take him for whatever history class.

Brilliant Beasley incredibly entertaining very clear on his expectations knows every detail of history easy class lots of reading but he is more concerned that students understand the material instead of strictly grading by a rubric. I will be looking for more classes to take with him.

Very good professor. He talks very fast, but maybe it was because it was a summer session. Easy class with clear expectations.

This guy know his stuff. He pretty much lectures with no aids except for some pictures he keeps in his usb. He's funny and grades leniently. Take him for any history class.

3 reading write-ups (3 pages), 1 longer paper (7 pages) and an in-class essay final. Learned a ton in this class. Beasley can talk a little fast sometimes but overall the lectures are clear. Crazy amount of readings assigned but if you read enough to write an essay about it you will do fine. Fair grader. I would recommend.

Good teacher, really knows his stuff.

Wonderful Dr. Beasley took a rather dry subject and made it very interesting. He even acted some parts of his lecture out as a demonstration. Took it over the summer-2 small papers and one large one with an essay final. Great class but only thing 12 books was a lot of reading for summer!

Really awesome professor. Really made a boring class interesting. This is a class with A LOT of readings to be done. 12 books to be exact. 3 3-Page papers with a topic you choose and ONE 7-9 Pg paper. And a Final that consists of 2 essay questions which are given since the Beginning of the semester. If you put effort youll be FINE. Grades Fairly.

Great prof. and person. Super smart with a quick humor. I love his noises and laugh.

I like Prof Beasley a lot...once you got passed his weird moan/groan laugh. He has a great sense of humor, which helps in a history class. He talks to us like people and offers a lot of freedom with the assignments and attendance. All the papers were on subjects of our choosing and the final research paper wasn't as hard as I thought.

Very passionate about the subject matter. Not too difficult, but if you have any questions he is very helpful. If you have to take a history class, take Beasley!

Awesome teacher. He talks very fast, so if you have a short attention span, he might not be for you. After listening to his lectures though, you get this sense of a historical high so to speak. He really manages to put you in a certain place and time. I've heard history majors say he's the best. Definitely take him if you get the chance.

Has an odd giggle, but once you get over that he is amazing. Has a great amount of knowledge to share and has great lectures. He isn't up there reading from powerpoints, he is up there telling stories.

He is long winded and lectures the entire time but it is all important information for the final exam.

By far the best professor I've had at SDSU so far. I would just sit and listen to his 2 1/2 hour lectures being completely sucked in by his intelligence and understanding of history. His lectures were more of a set of stories which made patterns apparent that you hadn't seen before. If you love a course which makes you think abstractedly take it.

Professor Beasley is super funny, keeps class interesting with constant jokes and his crazy laugh. Lectures are always fun. 2 small 4 page papers, 1 big 7-9 page paper. He lets you choose your topic as long as you can find evidence in the text. Pretty easy grader if you can provide evidence. Taken 4 of his classes; got and A on every paper but one.

Great professor! Lots of readings but you can be selective about which ones you actually decide to read-- just know enough to write intelligently comparing multiple readings. Hardly anyone showed up to lecture but I always did because he's passionate and would give useful insights into the subject matter that made the papers much easier to write.

Great Professor! Very funny, makes the lectures interactive/interesting/very informative. 4 quiz's(paragraph answer), two 4 page papers, a 7 page paper, and an essay final. Relatively easy grader. If you present valid points with some supporting evidence you will get an A. I know nothing about history and only did half the reading and got an A.
