great class! talks a lot, three exams about class and readings.

he's nice and fun. i recommend this class

This professor was cool and he made the class fun, but the tests were too long, even though they were easy. I did learn a lot though.

Good professor, helpful,funny, explan alot. but I didn't do well and read the book so i got failed. 4 exams totally , all counted into the final grade. if you fail first two you fail the class. half of people dropped the class at the end of semseter

good prof reviews every class. four exams.must take lots of notes though

Just attend all the sessions. Revised for the following exams. Get the reading done. That's said. Oh,If you can't maintain 11 to 13 pages of notes per session. Well time to get a recorder because this guy talks alot and doesn't repeat.

ancient civ 4 exams. a lot of info so note taking a must. the professor talks a lot but reviews often good class

s 4 exams about lecture and reading. reviews hepled me alot every class. great class

great prof took three classes 4 exams and essays reviews evry class

Best professor. He's hilarious and will pretty much have you all laughing on the first day. Take his class, you wont regret it! Just a heads up, read the reading passages.

Your mind will innately absorb the information that comes from his mouth. Each class he conducted a review of previously discussed topics, topics that from my experience are usually on the exams. Don't be late and you will not miss these sessions, but you won't necessarily fail if you do either. Readings not always covered in class, BUY THE BOOKS.

Best History professor I ever had. He explains everything you need to know for the exams and reviews the info from the previous class before each class, and the questions in the review are always on the tests. You will need the textbook for assigned readings, and note taking is a must, 4 tests, no homework other than reading assignments.

this guy doesnt take attendance. he talks alot and doesnt write much on the board. read the book its your best friend in this class. if your a bad note taker andor too lazy to study dont take his class. he does a review in the beginning of every class which some of these question may end up on the exam.

He is funny, interesting, clear and hot. He is attractive and his accent makes him even hotter!

He gives amazing lectures yet this class is not hard because you don't understand the material but because u really gotta study for his test, no joke.u really gotta memorize everything he says, besides he doesn't give multiple choice test!!! which makes things even worse, if you don't like to read don't take his class. if you don't read u will fail

Helmut Loeffler, is a great professor! You can tell he loves his job and always cracks jokes. The book is mandatory because there will be readings from it which are which 20 points on each test. You really need to study for his class but if you come every day and write down what he says you will be just fine.

He's a very good professor. BUY THE BOOKS IF YOU WANT TO PASS!!!! He doesn't take attendance which is okay, but miss a day and you miss everything. Make sure to do the readings because the test are based of that and some of lecture :) Goodluck!!

I did kind of bad in this class only because of I'm a bad reader.

professor acknowledges effort. if you can't study 8 pages of notes for exams, don't even bother. lots of info is thrown at you, but a good grade is possible if you put in the work and study EVERYTHING. miss class and you will miss out on many notes. must be a fast note taker. interesting class; you can see he is passionate about the material.

first few minutes of class he asks questions. MAKE SURE TO NOTE THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ON THE TEST, but they're the only things you need to study to pass! super easy review every class period!

I really enjoyed this class. If you're a history buff, you'll enjoy it as well. Lots of note taking and reading are required, though. Slack off and you'll fail. Four exams. If you fail the first two, you might as well drop the class. Sounds tough but, it's all about doing the work. He's a great prof. who loves to see his students do well.

Professor Loeffler is literally the best professor in QCC. When I first took his class, I was sure I was not going to pass because I had no knowledge of greek mythology. However, he made it possible for me to leave the class knowing so much more. Get the books! You won't pass without the reading assignments! Good luck! :)

great lectures and his exams are so forward. if you dont pass or get a good grade its on you, he doesnt over whelm you with work like other teachers do and hes really fair. the material is also very interesting and he makes it easy to remember. i am defff going to be taking him again.

i really liked his class the professor was fun. lots of reading, 4 exams but the reviews helped a lot!

I liked the way he taught and explained everything. he's passionate and the exams are straightforward.

He is really nice professor!!! He was willing to help me with my tests and gave me extra credit. I liked the way he taught and explained. Just read the textbook you will pass the exam. He did not take attendance, but his classes help me understand the lectures easier. The book is really easy, even I am not a native speaker I could understand it.

This has to be on of the best professors at QCC. Hes descriptive, funny, his test are straightforward. A lot of note taking but everything is in the text.

Overall good teacher. Takes the time to lecture about everything you should know that's important. He's often humorous. Must attend every class and take good notes in preparation to pass tests. If classes are missed info can be easily found in txtbk. That is not to say skip all your classes. 4 tests/25ques each/handwritten answers. Very educational

make sure to read his book attendance is a must if you want to pass. I liked the way he taught

These reviews kind of threw me off, but honestly he's not a bad prof. at all! He's hilarious & his lectures would really help break down the material. He doesn't take attendance, but if you want to do well I'd recommend going. Also he doesn't drop lowest test grades & you must study hard to pass this class. But, totally recommend!

If you love history then this class is really good for you. I also love history but answers short answers for 4 exam made me stressed out instead of enjoying this class. I loved the history book professor made himself. Its very easy to read and everything come from the book. If you read the book carefully then you will be fine.

Upbeat, clear and concise in lectures. Great explainations. History is a tough subject but he makes every effort to help you pass the class. Absolute gem of a professor. Take him.

Really Good Professor. Just take notes from his lecture and you will pass easily

I just finish taking this professor and I must say its one of the best professors at Queensborough just like Jerry Bradley. Professor Helmut makes you like history and relays the information fast and efficient. Gives thorough review before every test .. Loved this class

Attendance, not mandatory but need class note to pass his course. Focus on lecture and ready to take note. Also, he post reading online and must read to pass exam. He review what to study before exam but not all the questions. About 1020% of questions are not on review. Detail answers, chance to get partial credit. Very educational and interesting

took his class in college and online. His assignments are accurate with what he tells you. there is no need to purchase a textbook or stress about this class. Easy A if you read / understand it . "A desperate man doesn't go nowhere".

He is very good professor, gives extra credit opportunity which can boost your grade (for example if you get B, with extra credit it will be B+), he makes the lecture very interesting, the test mainly short answer questions all based on readings and discussion in class, but they not very easy so be prepared.

Professor Loeffler is very kind and knowledgable. He is also very funny. You have to work for your grade

Professor Loeffler's class is straightforward. Each class we have a quiz of 8 /10 questions which is all based on the last week's topic. Honestly, if you're a lazy student who likes to be coddled like a kindergartner, then this class isnt for you. You have to be great at taking notes & actually pay attention. I have an A so far. Great professor.

Awesome prof. He grades you based only on quizzes and Exams.I passed his exams and quizzes by the readings that he give's to us, I didn't really listened much to his lectures because of time. If you fail, that is really on you. The reason why he gives lesser time on exams is because he doesn't want anyone to cheat. Simple. Very caring.

One of the best professors Ive had hes very clear on what he wants, there are weekly quizzes, and the quizzes and exams are timed. two essays

His lecture undoubtedly professional. Personally, he is not that interactive with students in class. Perhaps not much interaction be needed in history class. Perhaps each professor has his own style and personality. Overall, he is my mentor, It was right from him that I learned about ancient history and got a macro level of ancient civilization.

He is chill. Just take good notes. He is specific about dates. He is funny and friendly. He gives chances and offers extra credit. Be respectful of him and he will do the same.

He's a bit serious but overall very clear and organized. He does not require attendance , However he knows we are adults and if you care then you will come. He does not require homework, but there are quizzes at the end of each class. He will also provide you with the reading of that specific lecture day very helpful.He drops 3 of ur lowest grades.

History at QCC is unnecessary hard, Prof. Loeffler is a gem in the dept who is just straight forward, quiz and exam is based on notes multiple choice and simple essay.

just finished summer class with this prof. great lectures lots of timed quizzes like everyday few short essays reviews helped

Short timed quiz every week, you'll be good as long as you pay attention to the lectures and the assigned reading. Very straight forward with grading.

He was a very good professor and his lectures were very interesting although his quizzes are decent but you need to review and study for them.

Loeffler is a great professor. He makes it VERY easy to pass and to have a good grade. He makes the lectures fun and interesting. Honestly this class is an easy credit. Exams and quizzes are so light.

Would definitely take his class again, yes there a always pop quizzes but they are pretty easy. Just review the reading take short notes. Quizes are 10 questions pretty easy.

Such a fun Professor! I learned so much and had such a fun time every class. There are 10 question quizzes every class on the previous lecture, and sometimes an exam of 20 questions. One essay for the final, and other than that just a reading per lecture that is medium length! Pay attention and do the readings and you're golden! Take his class!

Very good, knowledgeable professor who is interested in the subject matter and wants you to learn. pop up quizzes suck you have to take them when he makes them available. so attendance matters

Professor Loeffler is a great teacher, tries to keep things fun and interesting, and definitely knows what he's talking about. I definitely recommend taking his classes because they are so interesting and not too hard.

Professor Loeffler is a great teacher! Definitely would take him again

He is a really great teacher. He makes class really interesting and fun. The work isnt hard, but you have to know what youre doing in order to get a good grade.

The grading is based on couple quiz and exam, exam is basically quiz with 2 times question. Most answer to question will be found in textbook, so read carefully. During the course, you should always think about how would you explain any section of this course to a stranger who lack of knowledge about history.

Professor Loeffler keeps the class engaging and makes history interesting. The workload is manageable, but attending lectures and doing the readings are key. I found Unstuck ai helpful for quick study prep between classes.

Explains history problems very well and makes it seem so effortless

Very lecture heavy, although if you know what questions are going to be on the test, (he usually reviews what will mostly be on the test at the beginning of class), then you should be good. He makes learning about history somewhat fun. Do note, there is no extra credit and don't miss a quiz.

Chill professor! Everything you need to be prepared for exams are all from his lectures. Definitely don't miss a class because he doesn't post anything online. Utilize his free textbook to help with reviewing what was covered in person. His lectures were pretty fun and he has a good way of keeping you entertained while learning!

Really smart and dedicated to history Very kind and understanding professor who made sure his students understood the material. The class was made well and his lectures were pretty entertaining for the topic. He was also a generous grader w/ extra credit.
