Bodner is a great history professor. If you can attend all of the lectures and prepare to write a lot, you will do good in his class. His tests are straight out of the study guides, so as long as you study, you will make an A.

Enjoyed this class very much. If you go, pay attention, do the readings with are good choices and interesting you'll do well.

This guy is a first rate professor. His lectures are informative and entertaining. Be prepared to read the material and take notes - if you want to learn the material, this is your guy. If you're looking for and easy A, look elsewhere. Bodner is a fantastic professor! Good luck!

A very good teacher, his lectures were very interesting and informative. Made History easy to learn.

Professor Bodner Is very picky about what he wants from his students, but over all he is a great teacher. Like everyone has said, do your reading and you will get an A.

Very Good Teacher, He does lecture for quite some time but if you find History interesting you won't get bored, its not an easy A, but he teaches well and he gives reviews for his tests, if you goto class and do the readings there is no reason to not get an A

nice dude,all u have to do is study his review he goives out early and you will pass

Very good in teaching...just study the study guide and you will do great...

He is very clear early on what is expected. If you study the study guides, you will get an A. It is all about memorization. However, if you are a republican or don't care to be beat over the head with teachers personal political opinions DO NOT take his class.

Very clear on what he tries to teach. Although sometimes he may go off topic too far and too long, but over all he's a great professor. I learned a lot from this guy. If you read and do the assignments, it shouldn't be difficult to get an A.

Bodner is a great teacher. As long as you're not a slacker you'll do great. His lectures aren't as boring as several of the people on here have made out, but he does have a calm, cool approach. He breaks everything down in the syllabus, and sticks to it th

really cool guy, patient with people asking questions because you dont ever really have to, makes history FUN and INTERESTING and i even look forward to studying...weird....

Super EZ class, memorization needed, you can slack off in the class and just study for the test from his study guide

Great instructor. Very clear on what he expected and very fair in grading. Very interesting lectures. Makes me want to take more history!

Great teacher!! And I hate history, Bodner is very fair and I reccommend him to anyone. he explains what is expected, you are given a clear study guide,and if he sees that you are trying he will give yoy a break.

Great Professor but the reading material was overwhelming. The quizzes are ok, but the exams were much harder. I took it online. You also have to write 2 essays for the semester. Good luck.

Prof Bodner's class strictly follows the syllabus and gives alot of time to complete assignments and read readings. I never read books but still made a high B in his class. Theres no homework besides occasional film summaries. There are only two tests, so it is important that you do well on them. There is a 5 page research paper due. Pretty easy.

he is overprepared for his class. He teaches very well. it seems he is telling you a story. It is easy to take notes. The essay question for the test is on the syllabus. He is extremely good. I recommend

VERY EASY TEACHER WATCH A FILM EVERY WEEK AND HAD TO WRITE SUMMARIES ABOUT IT. ONE CLASS WOULD BE ALL LECTURE AND THE NEXT CLASS WE WOULD WATCH A FILM. MIDTERN AND FINAL ARE ALL BASED ON NOTES ITS NOT HARD AS LONG AS YOU LISEN AND TAKE DOWN GOOD NOTES.(NOTES ARE IMPORTANT)MY GRADE WAS B EASIEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN I ENJOYED THE FILMS EASY CLASS

I'm not into history at all, but really loved his class. He makes the subject interesting, and he's funny as hell. Also very helpful - I highly recommend this guy!

Great professor...he gives study guides w/all of the test questions on them. It is not easy, but he makes it interesting.

I had him for HIST 1301 and scheduled my whole sext semester around getting into his HIST 1302 class, very well prepared for class ALWAYS & always avail. for mettings to help.He made it fun, lectures are like stories, easy to take notes. Tests are long & prefers complete sentence for answers but all quest. r on study guide! BEST EVER!!!!!!

I can't stand history, and this teacher made it interesting. If you are willing to work hard but learn and enjoy the class, Prof. Bodner is the right teacher for you!

I am only interested in world history and hate American History, Mr. Bodner made it interesting and bearable. There is A LOT of reading 2 novels and 2 textbooks. He does grade fairly and has a tutor that sits in class for those that need extra help. Tests are "Medium" in dificulty

This guy is up there with my favorite professors. He is extremely intelligent and passionate about the subject. He expects you to take everything he spits out and regurgitate it on the test, but a good student should have no issues with it. It was my hardest and most rewarding class.

He is a real good teacher and makes Asian History fun. Just make sure you take notes.

I am taking his onlin class and it requires a whole lot of reading and his class consist of a midterm with 100 question and essay and a final. We have four books for his class and in order to pass you will have to read the novals and text books. I lot of reading!!!!

Took this class ONLINE -If you do not mind reading all day long - take this class. Read a lot, Quiz every week, mid-term essay with a 100 question and final the same way. Well organized but you will work hard and again read a lot!

Honestly i didn't feel like it was too much work, i would of made an A if i had the book the first couple of weeks. TOOK THIS CLASS SUMMER 09' MINI MESTER. As of now i really don't care for the professor due to my test shutting down on me in teh mid of taking it...and he gave me a 0 even thought it wasn't my fault, maybe it will change ><

OMG. If you take this class. Please study. He let's you use your notes but don't be fooled. You have to study. He quizzes and exam. With open books and notes. Don't be fooled. You have to study. He is by the book. If he says no extra credit or no lower grade dropped that's what he means. I did take the class on line this summer. Made a c

AMAZING PROFESSOR! YOU WILL LOVE HIM.

Professor Bodner is a good instructor.But you really need to study.He is so picky about how he grades many points will be deducted and possibly lowering your grade.My advice is to study and include specific details when answering the test questions.

WONDERFUL PROFESSOR!!! YOU WILL LOVE HIM! DO UR WORK, AND YOU WILL GET AN A

Took his 8 wk online RWUR course. Tons of reading from textbook, plus had to read out of a companion book and also read two other books and write reports on them. Tests are hard but he gives good notes. Read, read, read and you will do fine.

I took this course online. There is a LOT of reading but that's the nature of a history class. He is clear about what is expected and grades fairly. No big deal

Took this class online, 5 week summer session. Prof was quick to respond to emails, questions, etc. Grades posted almost immediately. 4 books plus his lecture notes (about 14 pages per unit, 8 units). 2 papers, 2 major exams, 8 quizzes. No late work, no dropped grade. You MUST be able to read well and quickly!

i have never found history interesting...prof bodners method of teaching is lecturing straight thru...thought it was goin to be real difficult but bodner makes the course really interesting...it was a lot easier than what i thougth...syllabus scared me at first but the 3 papers n 4 test r so much easier then you would think...highly recommend him

He is soo easy. On line he lets you gives you all half of semester to take your quiz's and they are so simple. You will have to read two books but they are interesting just write two papers. The mid exam and final are not to easy but if you do good in the essays and quiz's you will get a good grade.

The easiest and least stressful class ever!Class fills fast.I had him DE for spring '12 and wish all professors were like him.Class is everything I hoped for.He gives half a semester to do half of the 14-10qs. quizzes.Midterm and Final are 1 short essay response + multiple choice all from quizzes.Had only 1 easy 3pg essay.Clear directions.Take him!

Professor Bodner is an excellent lecturer. His lectures are so engaging and he always ends them his lectures with a hook "to be continued." He makes history exciting, and he makes it come to life. It is a lot of reading but so worth taking his class. It will only help you improve as a student and an individual. I took him for honors 1301 and 1302.

Read and understand what is all required and you will be fine. A great course in history if you engage yourself.

OMG! Do not take this man! I am almost done with an 8 week online course from this professor and the work is OVERLOADING! The quizzes are from the text but there is too much reading! TOO MUCH READING! Mid-Term and Finals consists of ESSAYS and the questions are hard if you haven't read EVERYTHING! I repeat, there is a lot of READING!

I really enjoyed this class. Took it online & we had 16 quizzes the entire semester, one midterm, one 3 page essay, and then a final exam. Everything was online, & you NEED the book to do good on the quizzes. Midterm & final both just consisted of short essays. I highly recommend taking Mr. Bodner, easy A if you just do all the work!!!

His assignments consisted of reading a chapter of the textbook and taking a quiz each week, a midterm, a final, and a semester report. The textbook used was one of the most interesting I've had (I actually used to despise the subject), and his instructions are very clear. Midterm and final are essay questions. Will be taking HIST 1302 as well.

Very knowledgeable teacher, reading the book is a must in order to pass. Worth the effort though

I thought Iwould hate this class, but Ioved it because of professor Bodner. Knowledgeable, respetcful of the diversity of opinions and cultures of people who attend his class, he is a very good teacher. If you want to really learnhistory, take his class, but be prepared to study hard and read and write A LOT.

You have to actually read the book since all the answers for the quizzes are pulled directly from each chapter. The semester writing assignment is cake; read the assigned text and write a three page essay. The only thing that I didn't understand was his grading criteria for the two exams; received low grades despite following directions.

I took Bodner for Summer HIST 1302 five week. His expectations are clear in the syllabus. You know exactly what you have to do to pass. There is ALOT of reading but I found it to be interesting and doable even working a full time job. This was because the material is very interesting. You will learn in this class, there is no way to avoid it.

Bodner is a knowledgable and enthusiastic teacher. Yet he oftens goes off topic in class. He expects students to work for their grade.

Dont listen to these lazy folks. Sir Bodner is the best. He is a very knowledgeable and passionate professor. Hes not tough on grammar at all. No textbook required. Just take notes in class, and most importantly, come to his office before finals. Hell tell you everything you need. Studying history is about understanding, not just memorizing.

Good lectures and personality. You have to do the work, of course. He is always available to help you.

Take him in 2 semesters. Never regret. I would take him the third time if my degree plan requires so haha.

Professor Bodner is very knowledgeable and he's really nice to his students. Make History easy to "absorb". Would take him again.

Tests are timed but not bad, I couldn't figure out what he wanted. One essay answer was too short then I asked for feedback and got nothing. Did the next one and he said it was too long. I was so confused but passed. Wouldn't take again

Worst professor ever! Tough grader.

I am currently taking the online fast track 8 week course. It just started but so far I can tell its easy. I work full time and go to school full time, I was stressing about this course and professor because of all the reviews but he gives you enough time to complete 8 chapters ( 2 and a half weeks). Read the book and you'll do just fine.

Great teacher overall. He will ask you to put as much info as possible in essay questions so be ready for that. Easy A if you are paying attention to classes and studying a few hours a week.

I took this class for HIST 1302 online. VERY EASY!! 10 quizzes that are NOT timed and open from day 1 of the class, 1 paper, midterm, and final. I never opened the book... Thank me later.
