very nice teacher. Very helpful. Interesting class.

Hard teacher, But knows his subject. Total lecture class. He is very helpful teacher when you ask questions! over all I think he was a great teacher

Lecture class, and has weekly quizzes along with a term paper, mid-term, and final. Offers quiz tutorials, which are very helpful.

his class isn't that challening, just 10 weekly classes, a midterm and final, and one big essay due at the end of the quarter. he tells you the terms and essay questions for the final beforehand. he also holds study sessions for the quizzes and tells you the questions

Haslam is a very good teacher. He is very enthusiastic about his subject, and at times can be really f'in funny. He once talked about wanting to kill a dog cuz he had to talk walk it in the snow. However the weekly quizzes suck balls. His class is very difficult, but worth it.

Haslam is an awesome professor, really knows his subject. He is always willing to help you during his office hours. The weekly quizzes arn't that bad... just attend the tutorials he offers before the quiz (He tells you the questions!)

It was awesome! I would totally take another one of Haslam's classes. It is a little challanging, but quiz tutorials are helpful and he is always availible to ask questions.

It is a hard class, but you will learn a lot.The professor offers tutorials for weekly quizes that are very helpful.He is very konwledgable and presents the subject well.If you want to learn and are not afraid of hard work take his class.

Very intelligent and articulate

A great and unique teacher who actually cares about his students. He also has a cool accent and many great stories to share.

He is very knowledgable, he knows his subject very well. However, he does have a very self-righteous, British attitude. He expects you to eat, sleep and breath history as if it is your only subject. He is very willing to help you prepare for any assignment but he thinks he is a university professor when he teaches in a community college.

Keep on top of everything and you will do fine. If you don't give it your all and just do alright on everything, expect a C. I didn't try that hard, and i still passed just fine.

Graham Haslam is the man! He doesn't really have a British accent but he still says things like "chaps" and "blokes"... Also a great historian, Dr. Haslam gives great lectures and really knows his stuff.

Very good teacher and kind of funny. Tests are alittle hard if you have a hard time remembering what you read but the tutorials REALLY help. At the tutorial he re-words the tests questions so you know what is on the test. Your not aloud to right at the tutorial so bring a tape recorder!

If you like history, you'll love his class. It seems like if you show a genuine interest in the subject, he notices and he'll like you. He knows the material SO WELL, he doesn't even look at notes during lectures because he has it all memorized. I find him really funny, but SASSY and British.

Intellectual history: It was a difficult class, but he offered weekly meetings to cover the material that would be on that week's quiz, and he gave the terms and essay questions that would be on the midterm and final. Difficult class, but a really great teacher.

this class is so easy, but so boring. you come to class and he talks the whole time. but if you go to his quiz sessions he gives you all of the questions and answers to the quizes. he also gives you the questions and terms that will be on all of the tests.

The class is easy ish. You have to constantly read the book, but he has test prep meetings where he gives u all the questions, so if you go to those, thats good. He is raellllly anal during class, no talking or ur grade drops. I think he has one too many history books shoved up his ass. Dont really like him either. overall, id avoid this guy

Haslam is very clear on what he expects from his students, which makes learning from him quite simple if the student pays attention. He gives weekly tutorials which relate directly to his quizzes. Very helpful. Overall, I would say that Haslam can be a bit dull, but he is clear about his requirements. Paying attention is key with Haslam.

Good teacher. Hard, but a good teacher. If you go to tutorial and read the textbook you should have no problem, however he grades hard on mid term and finals, so you should be prepared. Take him if you want to be challanged.

lecture, lecture, lecture, thats all you do in class, plus a lot of reading during the week, however all considered its simply time consuming, not that hard since you can do poorly on tests and still pull out a decent grade. Just pay attention to his boring lectures and read and you can easily get a good grade, its boring but you can do it.

Online class is great! He will always help you and email you back. Just lots of reading and class discussions. I would say there's 30 min of reading each day and that's it. Heavy text use. He does not slack off. Multiple choice tests and some essay tests. Gives tutorals. You can easily get a pass in this class. Great professor online, trust me!

He is very knowledgeable about history and loves the subject but he is a VERY hard teacher. When he says two hours of studying a night, he is not kidding. His is a lecture based class and his lectures can be dull. I would only recommend his class to those who live and breathe history and have ample free time.

Definitely Take Dr. Haslam's classes online. It is his BEST format. He will always respond to email requests fr help and he really knows his stuff!

He was extremely boring. He never waivered from the lecture format. He's a nice person, but does not know how to connect to his students. If you don't read the material in depth, you're gonna fail. But he offers tutorial sessions that help a lot. Go to them for sure. He is also a very difficult grader. Get on his good side. Sit in front.

One of the best teachers I ever had in history. He helped me get into University of Edinburgh which is my home town uni. His classes were easy for me, though he never seemed to leave the front of class I still learned a lot from him, even though it was American history! Took only 3 classes to learn how messed up this country really is.

I really enjoyed his class. There is a lot of reading, and you will have to know dates and names! But, I have to say get a digital recorder, sit back and listen. He is a very interesting person.

If you want to miss class, slack off, and screw around, don't take this class. You will fail. You need to see him after class, go to the quiz tutorials and ask him for help; he will love you. Be polite in class. Do the weekly reading, the quizzes count for 20 percent of your total grade. This is not an easy class, but you can do well.

This class is the most fun I've had in a while. He makes the topic incredibly interesting. It's very time consuming,nand if you don't go to the tutorials you're screwed, but it's really fun.

All he is is lecture. I found him really interesting, he is very passionate about history which makes it really easy to comprehend. He has a fun little accent that also makes him fun to listen to. If you aren't good with long lectures and coming to class consistently I'd recommend you not to take this class with him.

If you do the reading it's not that bad. But you do have to stay awake and take notes. He is helpful, but doesn't make it easy for you.

He is a real teacher. He is willing to help students and want to see the student's progress.

Great teacher. I had issues with multiple ch portion, which I attribute to the book. On the whole, he's understanding and as long as you communicate with him, a very fair grader. Took mine online, but would rather have taken it in person, as his lectures are interesting and relevant. I recommend taking his class in person, but online was cool too.

Not only is he clearly very passionate about history, but Dr. Haslam was always extremely available to students, and that goes a long way, in my book. Take advantage of his office hours -- he's really nice, and very helpful!

Wonderful teacher. His lectures were engaging, although you do have to pay attention and study hard. His classes are definitely not easy. However, he is very helpful and generous with his time, and wanted me to succeed. I appreciated the challenge and felt like I had the help I needed. His class was probably my favorite class I took at BCC.

Enjoyed the class. Would take another class with him. Very easy going and is available in his office for help (he will help you).

The harder of the two classes I've taken with him. Show up for class, do the reading, attend the quiz tutorials, and do as he tells you. Easy A if you do as he recommends. Speak with him after class, he's really an interesting guy. He's inspired me down the history major track! And he's always so well dressed

Easy class if you can do the work. All fairly easy too; just seems like a lot. always talk to him if you need help, either email or in person. really helpful

cool teacher. quizzes every friday which aren't too bad. the main tests are really hard though.

Mr. Haslam was over all a really good teacher but the class was really hard. I took it online and the instructions are very clear, there is just alot that you have to do if you want a good grade in the class. He is a very nice person and genuinely wants to help you and loves history.He is by no means easy, you really have to work for a good grade.

I had him for four different classes over the past few years. He was always willing to help during his office hours and was willing to let students present alternate ideas to his own in class. Nice guy, great semi-Brit accent. He worked for Prince Charles as a Historian for England for like 10 years so he has some really cool stories.

Put in the effort and you will do well. There are a ton of helpful resources such as study guides and group tutoring. Even though there is a fair amount of work, if you don't do well you really only have yourself to blame. Assignments, and exams are very clearly presented...no surprises.

Absolutely love this teacher, best one I've had at BCC. If you read and go to his office for a pre-quiz each Thursday you'll ace the quizzes. Study guides are given for exams, only two of those. One major paper. Big on grammar!

Haslam is old school. I learned a lot and was challenged to think for myself rather than just synthesize information from the text. A great teacher if you have an intellectual appetite - if you want an easy A, you're screwed.

Amazing teacher! Took class on campus. Goes out of his way to make time for you (if you ask), very interesting, is ACTUALLY from England (go to his office & look around lol), very knowledgable. If you WANT to learn about history, DO the assgnmnts and DONT have ADD (meaning: be ready to sit and listen to lectures) then you'll like him. Great teacher

This teacher is not for people that lack intilect. One of the best history teachers i have ever had he knows a ton about what he is talking about and as long as you pay attention you will do okay. Most of the complaints i have read are just because people are lazy as hell and dont want to do anything who said college would be easy?

The class was very rigorous, mostly lectures with a weekly multiple choice quiz. Haslam is very knowledgable concerning US History (funny: he's British), and cares more about understanding of historical themes and events than specific dates and bland memorization. He takes his classes very seriously. Not for the timid or uninterested.

His class isnt that hard as long as you read the text and the documents and do the tutorials youll be fine for the quizzes. Theres only one 5 page essay that you have to write the whole quarter so its not that bad.

He is a nice teacher but very strict. You are only allowed to miss 3 days before your grade drops. The course work isn't very hard but there is a quiz every week. He gives tutorials for the quizzes and tests.

Extremely knowledgeable and quite helpful. Weekly quizzes are easy so long as you read the book or pay attention during lectures. Study for the mid-term and final tests and they aren't too bad (if you do poorly on the mid-term he'll combine the percentage of the final grade into the percentage for the final). Only one term paper, 5-8 pages

Haslam was a sweet old man but he had very boring lectures. He's very strict on the attendance. You have weekly quizes on about 80 pages of reading with 10 questions. As long as you can do the reading and remember the facts and times, you'll do fine.

He was an adorable old man, but his class was HARD! I was so stressed about that class, and I got a B+. His grading system is that 95-100 is an A, 90-95 = A-, 85-90 = B+, 80-85 = B, and so on. He was very hard to hear, even at the front of the class, and he really knows his stuff, so BSing is out of the question. We had fairly easy weekly quizzes.

great teacher. easy weekly quizs. midterm and final are inclass essays and terms. hard class though.
