Dr. Nash, at first seemed very strict with his teaching, but later got more relaxed. The only thing he stresses is attendance. He is very eager to help you outside of class, as long as you show interest in passing. His lectures consist of note taking. He has a list of terms on the board each day. All you need to do is study them. Take his class.

Fantastic Professor. Easily the best one I've had so far at SAC. Very straight-forward, covers all test material in class. You can pass the class just by paying careful attention to lectures. Turn off your damn cell phones and pay attention and you'll do well in this class.

When I chose my professors I saw Nash had the most ratings and high ones at that. Hes very knowledgeable, but its all lecture. I get lost half the class and end up far behind. Hes straightforward and will tell you what you need to know however the hour Im siting there is painful. Maybe thats all history classes? Take notes, read, read, read.

Mr. Nash is a very knowledgeable professor. in this class, you have to take really good notes, and he talks really fast, so you need to be a fast note taker. He doesn't provide any test reviews nor gives any hit about the test materials. No quizzes and he hardly uses the book.

His class consists of this: Everyday you have a lecture. You are given a lecture guide with terms that you will cover, so make sure you're following that. Take good notes! Read the chapters! You have 4 tests,and one alternative quiz if you want to replace a low test score. No essays, no quizzes. He'll tell you exactly what you need to know.

This class is by far the most challenging I have ever attended! Every class starts on time and Mr. Nash lectures until the very last minute, you MUST be a good note taker, almost everything he says will be covered in the tests, you have to earn your grade in this class! He does not review you, he expects you to do it yourself, hard but great!

Not the most exciting professor i've had but it seemed pretty standard for a college class. Nothing too overwhelming, take notes in class, don't miss and you should get an A. No homework or essays which was nice so put your efforts into writing down the topics before class so you know what will be on the test. He does talk fast.

I really admire him. You can tell this man loves History and really wants you to succeed. He wants you to pass and do good and will help you get there. You have to be pretty lazy to fail this class. I got a B when I was sure I would get a C. Don't be late to his class though. If you take it at 8 am like I did be sure you can stay awake! Great class

He is a college professor; he expects college students. I recorded all of his lecures and studied them at home. Basically all that he says will be on the test. You have to have TIME for this class in order to get an A. He stresses that for every 1 hour of class time, a student should study 3 hours at home. I reccomend him for a hardworker.

Exceptional professor. Very interested in the success of students. Gives actual credit for attendance. Lecture style with no power points but he knows his stuff. Try to keep up in class. Record his lectures if you can't write quickly then write them at home. Lectures cover the chapters in summary. Tests are straight forward.

If you don't know how to take notes, you will struggle in this class. Suggest you bring a recorder to record lectures. Tests are easy IF YOU STUDY. I got an A in this class. He drops lowest test grade and gives 5 extra points on eacg test grades. Lots of curves. Overall, he is one of the best professors I had and his lectures are informative.

He is a great professor, and attendance is mandatory. When the semester starts he tells you from the beginning that you need to study, come to class and be on time to pass his class. You do need the book just to read the chapters at home. He is very organized, in his files he puts what chapters in the book you need to read, etc.

Get a recorder and take notes. He gives you all the tools you'll need to pass his class on the first day. (Extra readings, maps, and lecture notes) This means you know what to expect and are able to look ahead and prepare. Study, don't use your cell phone, and show up to class- on time! That's all he expects!!

This is a college class you see in the movies. He starts the lecture the minute he walks in and doesn't stop until the last minute of the class. Notes are vital! He doesn't assign homework so the 3 tests and final are very important. They are long, but come right out of the lectures & readings. Good class is you like history only.

His whole class is him lecturing. Just take good notes and print off his syllabus so that your notes match that outline and the test are mostly from his notes. He loves history and I am very amused listening to him talk about history. He does NOT want anyone on their phone, asleep, or being late in his class. That is very serious to him.

Dr. Nash is obviously very passionate about history. This being said, he truly cares about what he lectures. HOWEVER, lecturing is all he does. If you are a visual learner you should not take this class as the only visual aid he uses is his torn up map. Listen closely on the very first day of class and you might make it out alive.

Honestly I never used the book. If you can get a tape recorder use it, you may fall asleep and the lectures are super helpful when it gets to tests. Is willing to help if you do the work. A lot of the lectures are in the book though, a lot of reading is involved.

He is a very knowledgeable professor. Knows his stuff for sure. Every class is a lecture and he does not stop taking from the moment he walks in the door, to the moment he lets you go.

Only a few tests make up your final grade. READ THE BOOK AND TAKE NOTES. Its the only way you will survive. He talks non-stop from beginning to end. Tests are worded strangely, hard unless you know the material like the back of your hand or are good at guessing. A lot of info is given and you are expected to know all of it. Study hard, good luck.

Dr. Nash is brilliant. Many classmates struggled with the fast-paced lectures - this class isn't for you if you struggle with note-taking. Attendance is necessary - and he stresses this - because every single lecture contains so much vital information for the exams. Four exams, one optional exam, and one on-the-spot essay. TAKE NOTES, read, STUDY.

Good professor on explaining things. Get ready to take notes but I hated on how he runs his class. Which professor takes tardies in class?... He does. If you have something else besides a pin and something to write with, don't be surprised if you get kicked out of class. Hates when students leave the classroom. Hates when phones go off. Show up.

Horace Nash is honestly the worst professor ever. He is legit SO boring. All he does is lecture and there is only 5 tests, no homework, no quizzes, no nothing! and he doesn't post grades until the end of he semester so you have no way of knowing if your passing throughout the semester. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. All he does is talk. Trust me. DON'T!
