If you take good notes, and study them well, there no reason why you shouldn't pass. I spent probably about 10 hours total studying outside this class, and walked out with an A. There is no homework, and his class is purely lectures(he keeps them entertaining). you never need to touch a textbook. One of the best professors I had So far!

Professor Sandberg is one of my favorite teachers. He is very passionate about his classes and if you are interested in art and culture he is the teacher to go to. He dose not use the book at all , he does lectures but if you are a good note taker you should get an A! If you do good you might not take a final

U can tell he's very passionate about the material & very knowledgable. His teaching style could be better bc he just lectured on vocab for 2 hrs. TAKE GOOD NOTES bc you gotta be specific when his quizzestests come around. If u miss class, get notes from a classmate. His quizzes are usually definitions and his tests are essay questions.

Professor Sandberg is a through History teacher. He does not use the textbooks; lectures, tests and quizzes are based on notes you take from lectures. Take good notes or record the lecture and then go back and take notes. Class attendance and participation is must. Study well and you'l pass the class. He gives extra credit, but its up to him.

He's a very nice teacher and telling different mix up topics. But study them hard because he doesn't give you open notes for the test, if you barely do it or you did it. So that makes it hard for the test. You have to write specific detail on certain definitions. If you are not good at this class and this teacher this isn't for you!

Hands down the best history professor at MC3. Very straight forward and clear about everything. He makes it clear to you the first day that you must come to class, pay attention and take notes. He will tell you how many quizzes or tests you will have but the material on the tests are random, so take very good notes. Great heart and sense of humor.

Lectures were always entertaining to listen to, but I couldn't retain them. For tests, he wants you to write down everything he has ever said about a term. This is also piled on to the maybe 100 other terms you must remember just in case he uses those. He doesn't have set-in-stone dates for tests/quizzes until a few days before he gives them out.
