I have to say he does know his stuff. Always keeps his lectures up and tries to involve the students. Haven't taken his tests yet, but I recommend you keep up with the notes and lectures. Really friendly and easy to talk to as a professor. I'd take his class again.

One of the best! Tells history like a story. Cares about helping his students learn! Attend classes to get credit on quizzes (you get full credit just for being in class) Does movies & requires a "reaction paper", easy to do. Tests are all essay. Not easy, but you can write as much info as you can on a 3x5 note card, you will learn to write small!

Fair warning- if you do not do well on essay questions, do not take this class. This class is 90% lectures, so if you are a hands on student, the professor is not for you. The lectures are so long and face paced that is very difficult to get everything he is saying down. A tape recorder is recommended.

He's willing to help if you are willing to put in the effort. Class wasn't mandatory, but he gave attendance quizzes every couple classes. His lectures were long, but he tried to make them as fun as possible. You don't need a book and he will tell you that the first day of class.

Great proffessor. Very clear about what he expects from you. It was my first online course and enjoyed being a part of it. Assignmnets every week as well as quizzes. Three tests, if you study the powerpoints, it should be pretty easy for you. Three essays on different topics of minimum 750 words. Recommended if you're taking history 2200.

Overall, it was a pretty easy class. My complaints are that his grading and expectations for the discussion posts are a bit ridiculous. I got marked down on every post even though I answered all facets pf his questions in depth. Also, his notes can be unclear. The quizzes (weekly) and tests (3 total) were very easy and I had more than enough time.

This was my first online class, and it went BETTER than i ever expected. You dont need need the book. Go the extra inch for the discussion posts, he likes for you to elaborate, do that and you'll get the full points no problem. AND DO the study guides for the 3 exams, everything you need is on there! The class is very doable and you learn a lot too

First online class taken with this professor. Professor Weintz is an exceptional teacher. If you were to take his class online yo'll find that everything is easily accessible and clear guidelines are set in place. You do have to research some of your own information for the discussions but that helps you learn more material. Definitely take it!

Professor Weintz truly is a great professor. If you fail his class it is just because of pure laziness or lack of caring. He will proof read all papers due throughout the semester and will even proofread the essays for the tests. You are allowed a note card for the test as long as it is handwritten and everything on the study guide is on the test.

Took this class online. Not too bad. Quizzes are 10 questions and all except questions but you have 25 minutes which gives you enough time to go back and look through the PowerPoints.

Dr. Weintz is one of the toughest graders I've ever had to deal with. I had a very hard time figuring out what he expected from me due to his use of an absent rubric.
