Brilliant professor! Extremely knowledgable and passionate about this subject as well as teaching. Easy lectures to follow. Assignments are few, but worth a large percentage of your overall grade. Fun class!

He's a great professor, he should run for government office, we need people that know what they're doing in this great nation. LePree for President!

Excellent professor. Very knowledgeable lecturer, passionate about what he teaches. Took a night class with him and it changed the way I look at and study history. There are a few papers, a few videos in class, midterm and final. If you take good notes (possibly record like I did), and hand assignments in on time, its an easy A. Best stories ever!

Professor/Dr. J Le Pree is surprisingly an excellent teacher with a worldly experience and has a profound knowledge in deciphering text origins an eye for proving where a particular work originated. Be careful do not cheat, plus it's no fun...He is a fun professor. I highly recommend him as as ur prof and for full time city college employment!

Professor Le Pree has a rare gift in relating with his students regardless for the reasons they are taking this class, wether it would be for a major or a core requirement, he made me consider and decide on a double major or minor in his specific area of expertise.

GREAT PROF!! helpful. Fair. interesting! I hate history and he made it fun

ProF. James is excellent. I had him last semester and it was a great experience. I personally dislike history but he makes it look so interesting. He has a whole collection of historical stuff, he helped me a lot, grade fairly and will help you aim an A. TAKE HIM!

I'm taking Dr. Lepree this semester. He is really knowledgeable when it comes to world civilizations. He is seriously a "walking textbook." The class can be challenging but as long as you keep up with the work. I think you will be fine.

Professor Lepree is pretty great. He makes the class interesting with his extensive knowledge of the subject material, and he's a genuinely nice person. You have to do the work and put in a good effort, but it's enjoyable work because Prof Lepree makes it interesting

Dr. Lepree is a wonderful professor! His knowledge of pre history is extensive, but he understands that students come into class with limited experience. He is always willing to help or just talk. Wish he was full time!!

Great professor, very extensive knowledge on medieval ages, which made the class a lot more interesting. I would just recommend taking him in the fall, summer is way to short of a time frame to spend in this class.

I enjoyed his class, I learned so much over the summer, I never thought i would enjoy learning about medieval times and ancient empires, he's very patient with his students and he even owns all these cool artifacts he brings to show the class,Definetly the best history professor I have taken thus far!!

Dr Lepree is very passionate about the material he teaches which makes his class more interesting than most. Overall I enjoyed having him as a professor and I appreciate the work he put into teaching the class.

Dr.Lepree is a very smart, funny and understanding teacher. I never enjoyed history so much during the summer. He teaches the class but also let's students participate, which is very good because that way he will know who is paying attention and who is not.

I really enjoyed World Civilizations class last spring with Prof.Lepree because it was informative, enlightening and he was so engaging. He inspired me to continue discovering history on Ancient World Civilizations. An incredible Professor and one I will always remember for his thought-provoking lectures. TAKE his class-You won't be disappiointed.

Dr. Lepree is currently favorite professor out of all my classes. He definitely knows his material well and loves to humor the class. You do have to write a number of papers but you can get an easy A on them if you organize your thoughts well. I hate history but now its the class I most look forward going to.

One of the best professors I've had. Really helpful and lectures are focused on what you really need to know. It seems like a lot of work to cover but he gets the material down to the point limiting the time wasted on studying things you won't need for the papers or exams. Someone mentioned that he's a walking textbook and it's true. I personally think that the textbook wasn't really necessary - I didn't read it, didn't have to. Intellegent and accomplished as well- acticles for renowned journals and he's made a translation for a 5th century latin text. Very understanding and definately easy to approach- reliable source for any trouble in anything "history".

Professor is very knowledgeable of the material and obviously passionate about the subject matter, which makes for a much more interesting class. Just came back from my final so grades haven't been posted yet, but expect a good grade since I've been averaging an A as of the date of the final. I would highly recommend this class and this professor.

Extremely passionate about his area of study. Cares about his students and actaully listen to their problems. Loads of essays that are never ending but not a hard grader

I just love him! he never turned me down no matter what i ask him! he gave me the time i need 2 finish my papers, gave me extra credit assignment when i asked him 4 it, and helped me with my final essay. as 4 his exams, u gotta b prepared cuz its alota info, (n he posts the important topics 4 th exam on blackboard so i just googled them n memorized

He is a knowledgeable prof. he is an archeologist, there he teach from his archeologist prespective than following regular city college teaching style like other prof. He gives you alot of chance to improve you grade in class. the class topics are interesting. there are 3 exam in class and a final and few papers to write.

I'd already had a year of it in Jr. High by an excellent teacher. That said, LePree was excellent. Requested those of us who knew the material assist those unfamiliar by leading study groups. A very good Prof/person. Left construction industry to get Ph.D & share his love of history. Generous office hours for students that struggled w/ maerial

Dr. Lepree is very knowledgeable and understanding. Although his class is a bit intense for a full time student, worker and parent, he made it interesting and I highly recommend him. He's not going to make your life impossible, in the contrary he is there to help you just make sure you pay attention. He follows the rules and goes above and beyond!

AWESOME PROFESSOR! 2 PAPERS AND HE GRADES IT TOUGH BUT ALLOWS REWRITES! GIVES MANY EXTRA CREDITS. 3 EXAMS THAT WERE VERY EASY, JUST STUDY BEFORE THE EXAM. GIVES EXCELLENT REVIEW AND PREPARES YOU WELL FOR THE TESTS. TAKE HIM, YOU'LL ENJOY HIS CLASS

He is very understanding and allows rewrites.You can't zone out for a second because he rambles a lot. Overall a good professor.

Dr. LePree is a great professor. He is very knowledgeable & does not rely on the text book to teach. He is very helpful, responds to emails rather rapidly, & returns papers and exam grades fast. BEWARE..he is very strict about grammar, structure, and amount of pages requested on papers. Besides that go to class, write a lot of notes, & learn a ton.

At first, didn't like him because of weird and tough teaching but he turned out to be one of the best professors in CCNY. He lets you rewrite every papers. Attendance is mandatory. Not going to lie it's hard to get an A, but I recommend to take Dr. Lepree!

Take his class. He loves his students and will always be there to help them even after they finish the class. He has tons of books and never minds sharing them. He has a lot of faith in his students and will never look down on you. His knowledge is up to date and provides very helpful outlines to study and write notes on. Dnt miss class.

He is a wonderful professor. He makes the class very interesting by bringing in artifacts that I would never trust with anyone. If you have a question he is always willing to help you. Even if you hate history I suggest taking this class.

He is a great professor and a very kind man. You will be lucky if you get him. And take your outlines seriously!!! They help!!!

Dr. Lepree is the best history teacher I have had to date. He has some much passion for this subject and he cares about his students. He will buy books for you to use when you write his essays. He has so much knowledge about everything he teaches... in fact, he will give you more info then you actually need to know but it all comes in handy.

I HAVE NEVER MET ANY TEACHER WITH SUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE SUBJECT. THINGS HE TEACHES ARE IN THE TEXTBOOK AND HE ADDS MUCH MORE INFO TO IT. HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. HE BUYS YOU BOOKS IF YOU NEED THEM FOR YOUR TERM PAPERS. HE MADE ME LOVE THE SUBJECT. I WISH I HAD MORE ROOM FOR THIS RATING THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD THINGS I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM.

Dr. Lepree is an expert in history. He is enthusiastic and extremely helpful. He goes above and beyond to clarify anything you need help with, to help you find books for the term paper, and also provides feedback so you know how to improve. He is also very fair. I appreciate the outlines he provides us. Also, his videos help teach the material.

Very nice man. Be sure to take good notes in class, or else your going to be in big trouble. You most definitely need to use his outlines, they list everything you should know in a order you understand. Also, make sure you give in your assignments on time, there not many, so get them in! If you take good notes class will be interesting!

Overall, I thought the professor was very nice, and generous with his tests. He was extremely knowledgeable on the information that he taught us and he did not use the textbook directly. At times I was a little lost with his lectures because he discussed so many historical details. I enjoyed the artifacts he passed around & the video clips.

Professor LePree is an amazing teacher. I have learned a lot throughout the course thanks to professor LePree's videos, artifacts, and lectures. He also has amazing knowledge of any period in history. It was a pleasure being in his class.

He is a great teacher incredibly knowledgeable about everything he teaches. He also tries to make the topics interesting and appealing, which is not to say that you don't need to pay attention in his class. over all great class to take, just pay attention and take notes and the grade will come on its own.

This professor is one of the best I have ever had. He knows the material extremely well and goes into great detail. Tests are fair if you review your notes. He revises papers and allows rewrites. He is really supportive and helps as much as he can. I am not really into history but I enjoyed this class. Great teacher and a kind person.

This professor is a genius. He knows his stuff. He even knows the date of all historical events. i think he can even tell you the time of the event (no joke). He is such a nice guy. Once one of my friends sent a draft of her final paper at 1 in the morning and he replied her instantly with really good feedbacks. I loved his class! its worth it.

Best professor ever. Extremely nice and very knowledgeable about his work. Approachable and doesnt give too much work. Buys books for his students to help them in papers and doesnt even want them back!

BEST PROF EVER. makes class so interesting, although my class was in the night, but i was always sooo excited to go to his class. helps students as much as he can. He is a darling. Loved the way he teaches and grades.

Excellent processor. lectures get kinda boring if ur not interested in history but he knows his stuff. really wants students to do well, gives questions to all exams including finals, and papers are pretty straightforward if u follow his exact guidelines! got an A for minimal work, recommended!!

Both an astounding professor and person alike, Professor Lepree genuinely wants to see his students become analytical thinkers who can question societal/historical establishments. He is one of the few professors who welcomes novel ideas and unique perspective. He brings in ancient scriptures, artifacts, and other media to explain concepts.

Dr. LePree is one of the best professors you can get. Besides the fact that he knows the material inside and out, he is also such a genuine man who is very helpful and concerned with his students doing well. He's very strict on grammer and grading but goes over with you why you got the grade you did and allows you to re-write it. He's excellent!

Professor LePree knows the material he teaches very well. He is also very understanding and allows rewrites for papers with a grade of C or below. He does assign multiple 5 page papers and by five pages he means full of text not 4 and 3 lines on the 5th page

He was very clear, very helpful. If you take notes and pay attention during class you don't need the text book. He is a very good professor and recommend taking him. Three tests (including the final) and a few papers, but they were for the most part easy. He also allows rewrites! very helpful professor.

Very understanding and helpful. Always available to help you with a paper or a test. Checks your paper for you before you hand it in if you e-mail it to him. Lectures do get pretty boring, but do well on the papers and the tests and you will do great. Dont ever hesitate to ask him anything if you are unclear. Great professor overall!

One of my favorite classes. Lepree does not limit the curriculum to the textbook,rather he uses several outside sources and videos to give a broader perspective on history which makes it a really interesting course to take. To get an A, stay awake, read, participate, and enjoy the class. Plus he very approachable when you're asking for help.

Dr. Lepree is the man. He is a very nice man that really wants his students to do well. He can sometimes surprise you with the initial grading of a paper, but allows rewrites. Speak up in class, show interest, and never use computers.

Dr. LePree is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures discuss everything that we're tested on and taking detailed notes is important. He answers all questions you may have about writing the papers and etc. He also brings in ancient artifacts that tie in with the unit of history being discussed. Take him if you really want to learn :)

PROFESSOR LePree is the best professor at ccny. He is so kind and cares a lot abut his students. I took medieval Europe with him during summer 2013 and this course was really interesting! I gained so much knowledge by watching the videos in class as well as reading texts. Professor is very helpful And is available outside of class for extra help.

He is the BEST. Although he is very smart and knows so much, he loves so share his passion for the subject with his students. He is always available by email or in person and helps everyone to love history in general and his field in particular. He includes relevant material about art and literature,too. BEST CCNY PROFESSOR EVER!

Prof. Lepree is a very good professor and truly cares about his students. He is very knowledgeable in his find and loves sharing that knowledge. He presents the class material very well and shows films to help clarify the material. I had him over the summer (2013) for medieval europe and he was always available through email and after class.

Prof Lepree is hands down one of the best professors at CNNY. This class is for someone that wants to be challenged. He gives 3 papers and most of his exams were take home. Was very clear about the final. Just pay attention, email him !!! You can get an A even if you just try. Don't be lazy , and he let's you do rewrites. Loved this class :)

This professor is very helpful and truely cares for his students. He loves what he teaches and it shows ! There is a lot to learn but he makes it interesting !

Prof. Lepree's lectures are very interesting and he knows how to involve his students. His class is not easy, but rewarding when you apply yourself. He truly cares about the well being of his students and provides them with many opportunities for extra credit. Prof Lepree is an outstanding teacher, and simply put, a great man. Highly recommend! -RG

Dr. Lepree is the best teacher I have had. He is sweet and willing to help anybody. He spells out exactly what he expects from you and knows when you put forth effort. He is so passionate about the subject matter that his interest is infectious. If you want a great teacher take him!

AWESOME & NICE professor. Super Clear. Does not mind if you email him often for help on draft. He responds punctually and his help will GUARANTEE something in the A range. I had absolutely NO interest in WCIV before I took this class. He is so engaging in his lectures. Really wants his students to learn and excel. If you have to take WCIV take him.

Dr. LePree is great. He engages his students to understand many aspects of world history & supplements lectures with videos & original texts. We never used textbooks & he provides books if you need them. He was always accessible via email & tests were minimal. Papers were important, but he allowed rewrites and loved it when you emailed him drafts.

He is the best professor ever. Has high expectations and does everything he can to help you meet them. Always available and accessible. Very enthusiastic and that enthusiasm is passed on to you. Take him if you possibly can. You will enjoy yourself AND learn a lot.

I took a course with Professor Lepree last summer on Medieval Europe. We spent a lot of time looking at primary documents and talking about how people copied each other when creating 'new' works. I found it interesting. Everyone was a plagiarist back then. The syllabus was too ambitious, but he toned the class down to make sure students learned.

He's a great professor, really knows his stuff

He is a great professor. Provides the help students need and helps you get better grade.

He is a great professor and very helpful. Makes the class interesting.

This was a great class and, as a history major, it went well with my other classes. We have Early Modern Europe (Renaissance to French Revol.) and Modern Europe (French Revol. to 20th C.) so it makes sense to have Medieval Europe. Prof Lepree is so helpful and brings in lots of his own documents and artifacts to make the class more interesting.

Class was Medieval Europe for the summer session 2, at CCNY. I loved Dr. LePree. He is an amazing professor, and formerly a high school teacher. Great talks before, in class and after. All around nice guy, knows his stuff, and gives all the info you need. Great guidance with papers as well, helped me write even better. Hope to take another class!

Professor Was absolutely helpful. was always available through email. Gave great advice on papers. Recommend this professor.

He's a great professor and a great person. He will spend ALL THE TIME you need with you, and he will be there for you. A guarantee.

Professor Lepree gave three papers throughout the semesters and three tests. He allowed early drafts in which he gave a lot of feedback. He also posted helpful videos and course notes online for us. As long as you pay attention in class, take notes and read the textbook, its impossible to fail.

He's a really cool guy and you can tell he cares about all his students. He shows tons of videos during class and the lights are off so you can sleep. He sometimes calls on random people only if no one volunteers. He normally also has a follow up question if you do raise your hand. For tests, study the outlines he gives you and you'll do fine.

Professor LePree is a phenomenal and passionate educator. World Civilizations is intrinsically a dry course by its nature, yet he kept it enthralling and really tried to instill an appreciation of the subject matter in students. His essays are advanced and challenging, but he offers 200% of himself in order to provide relevant assistance.

Dr. LePree is a great professor who is truly passionate about what he is teaching. He explains the material thoroughly and provides examples by bringing in ancient objects so that the class can be able to to understand the subject better. Dr. LePree makes the class interesting and engaging. I truly recommend Dr. LePree. Great class and professor! !

Dr. Lepree is a super nice professor who is passionate about the course material. He can be strict and is a tough grader but if you ask for help he's more than happy to help you. If you don't, do not expect to do well! Expect to write at least 3 papers and take three exams ! Note his lectures can be extremely boring if your not interested!

Professor LePree makes what should be a boring class an interesting one. He shows interesting videos, shares interesting and funny facts, and even brings in artifacts. He's clear, helpful and keeps you captivated. No reason why you should do poorly on his exams or his papers unless you've fallen asleep in his class (you can't its too interesting).

Lepree is a very passionate teacher and does everything in his power to ensure that all of his students pass. Although he asks for a lot in regards to his papers, he allows you to send him a draft anytime you want after which he will tell you what needs to be fixed. Same goes with his tests, just show up to his office and he'll tell you whats on it

The professor is awesome, enthusiastic and very enjoyable. His class is very interesting, overall. with time he bring in some great artifacts to assist in your learning. He expects students to write draft to help with paper. he uses videos and power point to assist in your learning. he supplies you with the proper knowledge needed for this course.

The professor is awesome, enthusiastic and very enjoyable. His class is very interesting, overall. with time he bring in some great artifacts to assist in your learning. He expects students to write three papers with draft. he uses videos and power point to assist in your learning.

He's really strict when it comes to writing and grammar. His tests are long but the material is enjoyable and he posts really detailed guidelines on blackboard. If you want to get a's on his tests, print the study guide from blackboard and define all the terms. Don't worry, if it's not on the guide the it won't be on the test.

This class is so much work. Be prepared to have assignments based on NOTHING described in class, and then tests on neither the assignments or the class. The prepared at the end of the class for the longest term paper in history. your previous grades don't matter only the final term paper and final exam. Great lecturer and attentive, very helpful

Doctor Lepree is a fantastic professor. Expect 3 papers for the semester, each gradually increasing in difficulty. Exams are based off outlines and classroom lectures. He shows great intelligence and dignity in his lectures and if you show that you appreciate the class you will truly succeed.

Lepree makes the subject interesting by using movies rather than just straight lecturing. No actual homework. Most grades come from his 3 papers (4-20+ pgs). He has a very specific way he wants you to write them and will not hesitate to make you rewrite it until you get it right. His passion for the subject aids in lectures yet can hurt your grades

Professor LePree does give very tough papers but is helpful in how to write them and what should be included. He definitely cares for his students and makes sure that his students are understanding all the material. I loved the movies and videos he showed. 3 TESTS. 3 ESSAYS - 4-15 pages. AWESOME and understanding professor! LOVED the way he teached

Professor Lepree is the best professor I've had at CCNY! He is helpful, and willing to meet outside of office hours to help any students. Don't think that means it'll be easy though; this class was more work than my 300 levels. Just make sure you understand his outlines and send drafts, and you'll get an A. Show up early to class for test spoilers!

Lepree is a great professor! His papers are pretty long (5-10 pages) but he provides you w/ the resources and even the books (for keeps) that you have to read, or browse through ;), to get the job done. Be able to write a decent paper! Lepree is always there at office hours and is willing to look over your essays. Great guy! Brings cool artifacts

Assigns long papers but walks you through it by giving out an outline of exactly everything he is expecting. The sources needed for the papers will be given to you by him, including books that he lets you keep! Don't even have to read the book to get an A on the paper. Boring lectures but shows a lot of videos in class to keep things interesting.

Lepree is here to help you. He assigns three papers, two 4-page papers and a final 7+ page paper. He gives you outlines, for each test he tells you what to expect so it is easy to prepare for. For tests, he wants to see what you know about the terms. For papers, he offer rewrites but only if you give him a draft before the paper is due.

He's a great professor who has a passion for the subject he teaches. He gives a decent amount of workload, makes clear what will be on exams, and takes attendance seriously. I've learned a lot from his lectures.

He's very helpful but his papers are really tough. He makes you work for your grade. If you are not good in writing and/or grammar skip it. If you are ready to work for a good grade then take it.

Dr. LePree is probably the best professor that I had this semester. He grades fairly, teaches well, and honestly, really cares about his students. The only downside, which can be overlooked, is that he does assign hefty papers. However, he does allow for drafts to be sent to him before the due date, and he helps you all the way to that A+.

Dr. Lepree is a very passionate professor, he really cares what he teaches about. He assigns three papers, two 4-page papers and a final 7+ page paper, but I seriously recommend sending him a draft before you hand in the final paper. Watch for grammar and details in the essays though. You will do well if you work hard and study the outlines.

Dr. Lepree is a phenomenal teacher! 3 papers, 3 tests (including final) Class is mostly lecture heavy, but he provides you outlines of topics in class/on the tests (literally only thing you need to study). He also reads drafts before you send in the paper and is very fast at responding to emails. Seems like a lot of work, but is totally worth it!

Dr. LePree is one of the best professors at CCNY. He truly invests himself in all of the students, not just the ones that already know the material well. There are 3 papers for this class, but he has very clear grading criteria and posts outlines and possible sources for the students to use. He gives feedback on all drafts so its impossible to fail

Dr. Lepree is a great, caring teacher that does give a good amount of work, but understands the busy schedule of students and will work with his students. He is passionate about his class material and is always willing to meet with students outside class for any extra help.

Professor (Dr.) Lepree was the best professor I had during my first semester of freshmen year in Sophie Davis. He was one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated professors I had the pleasure of learning from. While he does assign many essays and expects "120%" from you he has no qualms with speaking to you about how to improve. Tests are fair.

Professor Lepree is one of the few teachers that you will see in college who actually care about their students. Professor Lepree is always available to answer questions that you may have and he responds to emails very quickly. The papers that he assigns to write are challenging but he assigns them in advance so you have time to work on them.

Professor Lepree is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about his students. His passion for his subject shows as does his desire to help his students succeed. He gives you all the tools you need to do well on his tests and papers and is willing to look over your drafts and offer feedback before you submit an essay. Would definitely recommend!

LePree is a phenomenal professor. He's one of the few professors who's really passionate for what he teaches. Best of all, he cares about his students. He even offers to write recommendation letters. He gives some challenging essays but he always recommends that you send him a draft. With his incredible feedbacks, you would get a B+ or higher!

Wonderful professor. Knows the material really well. Passionate, and always willing to help.

Professor LePree is one of the most inspiring professors I have ever had. His class was a real breath of fresh air for me in the midst of a grueling first semester. I wrote my first ever 30+ page paper in his class; this was no where near the minimum (so don't be scared). but LePree taught me to think about history in an intriguing, critical way.

He has such a wealth of knowledge. He really cares and is always willing to help and clarify anything you're concerned with. Put in the work and show that you're trying your best and you'll do well. He also brings in artifacts that pertain to the class from his own collection.

HANDING IN A DRAFT BEFORE A PAPER IS ACTUALLY DUE SAVING YOUR LIFE. If you communicate with him and ask him how to write an assignment, then you'll learn how to write some rock-solid papers and not fail. He's a very sweet, driven, and passionate man, and he loves when students participate. It is difficult to keep up with the reading though.

He is an extremely compassionate and generous professor. He clearly loves the subject matter, and the more you get to know him, the better your experience in the class becomes. I recommend taking advantage of sending him drafts for papers, and always printing out the outlines to bring to class it helps with studying. Take him for World Civ.

Professor Lepree is an amazing professor. He is genuine and caring.

Truly cares for his students, eagerly willing to give help to all his students, even moreso to those who ask for it.

An amazing and genuinely caring teacher. Very understanding and a great person overall

Easily one of the most amazing professors I have had in my life. You can sense his genuine passion in the subject he teaches. Dr. LePree has the unique ability to make history both exciting and relevant. His personal experience and vast wisdom is reflected in his professionalism. That said, in this class, you get what you give -- so give a lot!

If you are given this Professor make sure to participate because he responds better to participation. Also go to him outside of class in order to receive good feedback for essays.

Professor Lepree is an outstanding professor. He genuinely cares for his students and their learning experience. You will have to work for your grade, he is not a push over and he is very fair, He often gives opportunities for extra credit. His world civilizations class is very rewarding.

Professor Lepree is amazing!! I would love to take his class again :) He cares about his students and wants you to succeed!! He's very adorable!! There will be 3 papers in total, but that is okay because you will learn so much! He will be there and guide you!

Honestly he is a great professor and definitely helps you whenever you need help. He gives these pretty tough papers (3) so GET READY TO WRITE. He gave a take home midterm this semester which was great. Just do your paper and contact him if you need any help because he responds prett quickly. The Final sounds pretty difficult and it is so STUDY !

Professor Lepree is one of the kindest in CCNY!!! He's a tough grader, but if you go to him for help he will make sure to help you. He gives 3 papers!!! sending him a draft will save your life. He also allows you to do a rewrite. His papers may seem hard, but he's always willing to help you, whether by email or face to face.

Tbh, the only class I'll probs get an A in. He's caring, responds to emails in a few hours. If you send him your papers early, he'll reread them and give good feedback. Two tests, one is a take home. His lectures are interesting, but sometimes it gets boring, I've fell asleep more than one. But easy to get an A if you pay attention.

Professor Lepree gives good feedback and he responds to emails. He also offers you the opportunity to send him your paper early so that he can check it and tell you what to improve on. I remember the first paper I wrote when I got it back I received an F and their was a lot of read ink on my paper. I went to his office hours and he helped me out.

Dr. Lepree is one of the kindest teachers at CCNY. When it comes down to extensions for legit reasons he will allow it. He is also always willing to look over any papers before the due date and give in depth corrections and tell you exactly what you are missing. Overall a great guy to have conversations with aswell, very knowledgable.

LePree is an amazing professor who really loves teaching. He brings in artifacts which makes history fun. He even goes out of his way to buy books and give to students. He assigns a lot of papers but you have time and can email it early. His class allows for your creative mind to explore history in a new way and he truly wishes for your success.

He's very caring regarding student's grade and he's always accessible with email. As long as you tried to learn and study with his outlines, you'll do great.

He is great! Send your drafts for paper ahead of the due date and you are sure to do well!

Dr. LePree is such a sweet guy and very fair with grading and work. He gives you lots of chances to do well. If he can, hes always happy to talk to you outside of class and share about his work and his interests in history. Id love to take him again if I have the chance!

Great professor! Gives feedback on draft papers FAST. If you listen to his comments you will for sure get a good grade. You will learn about the interesting parts of pre-history. Prof. LePree is a captivating lecturer and brings his personal collection of historical artifacts to class! Definitely recommend taking any of his classes.

BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS IN CCNY !!! So fair with gradings and loves to give feedback. It is impossible to fail this class unless you absolutely suck as a student. I love this guy, you can tell that he is really passionate about his lectures and that he genuinely enjoys history

Doctor James Lepree is an amazing professor. He brings a lot of artifacts to lectures which makes learning about history a lot more fun. English is my second language, so I reached out to Professor James and he offered a great help outside of class. He helped me a lot to improve my writing skills, he also gave me a lot of studying tips.

Honestly, one of the best professors in CCNY. Hes a real treat and super kind to his students. Does allow you to make revisions on certain assignments, and is happy to let you know where you were wrong in your assignments. Loves to bring historical artifacts to engage the class. Although hes lecture heavy, you can tell he really loves what he does.

Professor LePree definitely knows his stuff. He lectures based on outlines he sends and can literally do it from memory. His papers and tests were fair and he graded them as such. Sometimes his lectures seem all over the place as he jumps from thing to thing, but he still stays relevant to the subject. Professor LePree is AWESOME and worth taking.

Dr. LePree is a wonderful professor with a great appreciation for World Civilizations; he has certainly engendered my interest in prehistory. His course is very difficult but seems worth taking.

Dr. Lepree is AMAZING. He gives us three papers. If you email a draft to him he will edit it and send it back. Also, he lets us revise and resubmit papers for a better grade. All the tests were take home and for the final, he let us bring an outline. He is so considerate and funny. Hands down one of the BEST professors.

Professor Lepree is an amazing and sweet Professor. He is available after class to help with paper etc. There's mandatory class, he takes daily attendance. He motivates open discussions/participation in class, he gives "prices," books. He gives 3-4 papers, 2 midterms and a final, definition that must be 5 sentences +, short responses and essays.

Such an amazing teacher! As long as you do the work then you can get a good grade. He is very understanding and allows you to fix your work. He has taught me so much about history and has a great perspective.

The class is mostly reading and discussions that rely on class participation. He is very tough on his grading, but he gives many chances for you to let him proofread things before submitting it. I felt that he genuinely cared and wanted to help me become a better listener. If he is harsh on you, he wants you to learn from your mistakes.

He really cares for his students and is passionate. If u need help just let him know and u can send the papers before the due date and he will tell u specifically what u need to add. Hes a great professor and is very understanding. All papers have models. If you need more time just let him know of your situation and he will be happy to help!

Dr. Lepree is a very good professor. He let's you email him papers before the due date so he can provide feedback and let you fix it. He is very caring. He gave many assignments that requires you to write alot, but I learned most of the material by writing. He cares for his students and wants the best for them.

Professor Lepree is a VERY passionate teacher that will draw you into the class. I took him during the pandemic and personally his class is better in person. The lectures are long but you learn a lot. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! Even the smallest details you would think dont matter ends up popping up again in another lecture. I would take him again!

He is really nice and help and gives feedback

Dr. Lepree is one of the best professors in the History Department. He leaves a clear expectation for all assignments and allows many opportunities to fix your assignments. Lectures are very interesting and relate back to the assignments that are given. This class depends on you as a student. If you pay attention and do the work, an A is easy.

Dr. LePree's class was fascinating and covered a great deal of course material in a very brief time during the online summer class. He clearly is quite knowledgeable and is a pleasant, engaging and patient professor. He responds well to student questions and treats all of his students with a great of respect. He is a wonderful teacher.

I took his HIS 30102 online class summer. Professor Lepree is an amazing and caring professor. I am not a fan of history in general, but his lectures made this course interesting. He also keeps you in the loop in terms of grades.

Dr. Lepree is a phenomenal professor. He is understanding and allows you to redo your assignments for a better grade. You MUST participate; participation is 50% of your final grade. Dr. Lepree is accessible outside of class, and if you send him an email, he will likely respond the same day. This professor wants you to succeed; you just have to try.

Professor LePree is a wonderful educator who really knows his material, and has a passion for teaching history. He is very fair, as he will give you chances to hand in papers early for feedback. He provides many primary sources, so it really is up to the student to make the best use of the material provided. I would definitely recommend him!

Professor Lepree is great at helping us understand the material, and makes things interesting by introducing us to artifacts and giving us the opportunity to provide our educated interpretations on aspects of history. Lecture material was easy to follow and would directly relate into the assignments we were given and he was always there to help!

Professor Lepree is the best youll ever be able to take. Even through the stressful online classes, his class will make you feel better because its so simple. There are only papers and he gives you chances to boost your grade to the max. You can always send in a paper early for feedback and hell always help. Hes also available via email easily.

Professor Lepree will help you in any possible way to make you understand the topic. He will respond to your questions and will demonstrate it well. Best WCIV professor!!!

Professor Lepree is very knowledgeable and passionate about ancient history. lectures are in depth and comprised of many sources to get many perspectives and keep it interesting. Decent amount of papers, but gives ample time, always reachable out of class, and happy to review drafts. If you like World history Professor Lepree is a must.

Professor Lepree is one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of having this semester because he is genuinely invested in the success of his students. His brilliant mind coupled with his caring spirit makes his class all the more worth taking. I recommend his class hands down for anyone in their CCNY college experience.

The BEST!!!! PeriodT

Professor Lepree is a great teacher! He taught me in my first year of college first semester, and he was great and really helpfully. We had good communication inside of class and outside of class, and I believe he grades very fairly. He is very open to creativity and opinion, and his class was engaging. I enjoyed my semester being his student!

Professor Lepree is an amazing professor. He understood the struggles of online learning and made it accessible, and interesting. One of the best teachers I have had at City College. If you show up to class, participate, and accurately complete the assignments, you will do great. He makes history interesting. 10/10 experience

Professor Lepree was definitely one of the better professors to take for the online semester. We had a textbook but mainly used the Lucy book so thats a required book. If you email him regarding a grade or question about an assignment he will get back to you pretty fast. Basically, hes a really great professor and would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Lepree was a wonderful teacher. A very fair grader and gives ample time for students to complete their assignments. If you participate in class (lots of opportunity to with reading in class) and submit your assignments you are sure to get a good grade. I did take him online but he worked hard to make that experience as meaningful as in person.

Professor Lepree is an exceptional educator and a very knowledgeable man in general. When writing essays, you can send him a draft where he'll review it and give you pointers to get an even better grade. If you have any questions on the topic, send him an email, he responds quickly. He is also a very understanding professor. 10/10 would recommend.

Lepree was always enthusiastic about the lecture material. We had technical difficulties throughout the semester, but it wasn't a big deal. His style and the way he taught without being so concerned about dates and really specific details was incredibly effective for me and restored my interest in history. Would love to take another of his classes.

The passion for history is evident in Mr. Leprees teaching to the extent where classes go extra time- students need to oftentimes remind him. He is so sympathetic and gives extension- it is best to reach out to him beforehand. Class could be more organized both finishing on time and also homework organization on blackboard. I loved it overall

This professor is honestly one of the great ones at CCNY. He honestly cares about his students success in this course and tries his best to engage everyone in his lectures. Take him you won't regret it. pinky promise

Professor is very welcoming and friendly. He is considerate of the class and is passionate about teaching. It was easy to catch on if you somehow got lost since he provided a lot of the sources and lectures he uses on BlackBoard.

The best professor that I've had so far at CCNY. He cares a lot for his students and he's always trying his best. If you participate a lot in his class, it's most likely that you will pass his class. I highly recommend that you guys take him.

One of the most caring and understanding profs in CCNY. He is a huge sweetheart and cares for his students. Throughout the semester, you'll have 3 papers (34 pages each), 2 tests (open book for online class), and 1 final (3 essays, 2 pages each).

Dr. Lepree is one of the best professors at CCNY, he is very kind and cares about his students and their learning. He will always make the class as interactive as possible each of his lectures is like traveling in time to the actual time period. Professor Lepree is accessible outside of class and will provide you with all the materials you need.

He is just great. He is so caring and if you just ask him for extensions, he is happy to make some concession.

This class was good. The lectures could be a drag, and you have to be patient as he has many technical problems. But, there were 3 papers that you could send in early for review, and I can't deny that this class was informative. It is evident that he is passionate about this subject. I would recommend it if you like this subject.

Laid-back atmosphere, narrower focus than expected, more a history of Rome and Byzantium as well as the early Church, than Medieval Europe. Don't expect anything in Spain, England, or Scandinavia. Annoying habit of making students read the slides, otherwise congenial and understanding. Get's off topic easily, loves the subject, generous grader.

He is a really nice profesor and thorough the semestre r have around 3 essays and 3 test, but they were fairly easy and he always gives all the information necessary. Attend his class and participate, he is really nice and helps you anytime

Prof. Lepree is an excellent teacher and does not want any of his students to fail. If you don't do well on your papers, he will give you another chance with how to improve them. It's easy to get an A if you do all the papers assigned, and he gives you the resources for papers.

Professor Lepree is an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students. The workload might seem like a lot at some point, but if you have any issues, he will understand and help you out. Gives good feedback for papers and lets you resubmit for a better grade. If you are a freshman, TAKE HIS CLASS!

An amazing class. The professor was really understanding and easily accessible.

Professor Lepree is an extraordinary educator. If you complete the assignments you'll be fine in his class. If you are behind in work he will try to make accommodations just send him an email, he always responds to them. I felt welcomed in his class as a freshman and he is passionate about the subjects. I also learned a lot from his lectures.

Professor Lepree was a wonderful teacher, very clear assignments and super helpful and caring. Would recommend!

Just read and pay attention in class. Tests, homework, and papers are not too hard if you do. Provides feedbacks and offers corrections on papers too

Professor Lepree's class was amazing. He is so passionate about his lectures and materials and it shows. He is also very kind and forgiving, but most of all he is patient and understanding. His papers are easy to write since he gives clear and precise instructions on where to get our information from and how to write the papers.

This professor is one of the easiest and most understanding you will ever meet at CCNY. He gives you plenty of time to complete the task. We only completed four essays, two of which were for the finals. Even on weekends, he always responds promptly. All of our tests, including the final exams, were open-book. I'd strongly advise you to choose him.

This professor was awesome. If you do his papers you should be fine. If you hand it in early, he would give you a chance for a better grade by showing the mistakes on the paper. So that you could revise them. You can read the textbook and watch his lectures to pass his exams. His class was interesting with the videos you put up.

I wish I could give this professor all the positive ratings. Hes an amazing professor & genuinely is passionate about his subject. Truly inspiring. There are tests and a few papers but he guides you will everything. He helps with participation, is accessible outside of class, and truly cares. Be patient with any technical difficulties he may have!

Hes super understanding and if you communicate with him hell try and accommodate you the best he can!

He's literally so flexible with deadlines for his papers.

Professor Lepree cares for the well being of each of his students. He is willing to work with an individual separately if requested. Professor Lepree is very knowledgeable in his field. In his lectures he shows his passion for the the topics he teaches.

Professor LePree is one of the kindest professors I've ever had. He's really passionate about the subject, and I learned a lot from his lectures. His workload is very fair and reasonable, and he provides you with the right resources to complete exams and papers. I'd for sure take another class with him any day!

I really enjoyed taking him class. There are only a few open book take home tests which are just writing essays with sources he give. He's very open with grading and setting due dates.

Prof Lepree is a pretty good teacher. He does give a lot of papers and it heavily affects your grade, so if you're not that much a writer I suggest you look elsewhere. He will call on people to read on the slides as well. He does have a lot of technical difficulties too. Other than that, he means well and wants you to try your best.

The kindest professor you can have, definitely take him. He does give a lot of papers but he will provide so much material and resources with it that the paper will be very easy to do. He also is not strict with due dates he will definitely give you a extension if you ask for one. The class material is not hard at all.

Professor James Lepree is a really great prrofessor his class is really interesting and he make sure that his students understand too. If your paper is not good enough or you do some mistake he will email you saying to fix it and email back to him. You can also reach out to him for anything and he will replay to you with no problem at all.

Prior to taking Lepree's class, I expected it to be boring but he has managed to make World Civilization an interesting topic. He responds to emails quickly and is easily reachable. The few issues I had with this class were that the blackboard was messy, and we only used the readings we paid for only once. Despite this, it is manageable.

James Lepree was a great professor for WCIV. Although there were a fair amount of papers, the content he covered was fun and interesting. As long as you do the papers with some effort, you are guaranteed an A. He also lets you redo papers, if you get a bad grade on them, which is a rare thing in his class. He's a kind and caring professor!

Great prof., very understanding when assigning essays and gives more time to complete them/try again for a higher grade. Lectures are in-depth and memorable. NOT A HARD CLASS. Please just read the sources he gives, all the answers are there. Very helpful and can help you via email, don't be afraid to ask. Overall, a fun class and great prof.

This Professor is the best! If you are looking for an easy grader he is the one. Awesome

Normally, I don't enjoy history class, but I am so glad I took this class! I had the best experience ever! Give him a chance; you won't regret it, I would definitely advise you, but also put forth some effort to achieve the grade you seek.

Professor LePree is a respected historian and an enthusiastic teacher. He was very gracious when I needed accommodations and genuinely wants his students to succeed. Grading is based upon three thoughtful written assignments and class participation. I truly hope to take Professor LePree again.

Class is very easy. It doesn't really require any time just read the prompts for the papers and the "book" you're supposed to base your papers on and it's an easy A. There are like 4 papers total and he will postpone the due date anytime you ask, very understanding. Easy grader as long as you put in all required information.

It's really cool that he is an expert on Medieval Europe. You can ask him anything about Medieval Europe and he will answer it for you. As long as you do the readings and the papers you can pass

He was a great professor who was very interested in what he was teaching and wanted us to be interested as well.

Professor LePree honostly loves his job, loves the subject, and it shows in his enthusiastic teaching. You will do well if you do the work. Period. Just do the work, and don't make excuses two weeks after the due date just because it's an online class. Just do the work, its not so hard and not so much.

It has been a great experience. He is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how he presents the material. His lessons were engaging, useful, and he was very patient with everyone in class always encouraging his students to try. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning World history | Arts and humanities.

Professor LePree is an absolutely amazing professor. He is an expert in the academic area he teaches, and genuinely wants his students to succeed. Compassion and brilliance is not possessed by every professor. The course assignments are fascinating and grading criteria clear. Finally, he is disability friendly so communicate issues upfront.

You'll do fine as long as you do the work. Lepree is knowledgeable about the topics covered. He gives a reasonable number of papers with more than enough time to finish. Recommend that you participate in class regularly. Homework is minimal, mostly reading a couple of pages. We didn't read all the books he listed at the beginning of the semester.

This is one of the best Professors at CCNY. He is compassionate, helpful and very encouraging. He stays on topic, he gives feedback and he is willing to help you. An amazing Profe. Participate, do your assignments. This Profe is wonderful!

Many interesting and infomative lectures

Professor James is the best!! Literally a caring person. Gave extra time if really needed. His class was online and it was really interesting. Take him!!!

He has a caring and compassionate approach. He is enthusiastic in the material he teaches. Gives reasonable assignments and offers support. You will have enough time to complete the papers and will kindly give you an extension given you give enough time to notify him. Participation counts.

He is very lenient when it comes to handing in late assignments, he is accommodating if you can't attend a class. He is quick to respond to any emails/questions about lectures or assignments. There are a lot of papers but easy writes.

He readily accepts late assignments and promptly responds to emails or questions regarding lectures and assignments. He accommodates absences from classes.

He flexibility regarding late submissions and is understanding if you're unable to attend a class. He promptly addresses emails and questions related to lectures or assignments.

Professor Lepree is the best ! He's super sweet and understanding. He gives many chances to turn in anything you missed. He's kind with the gradings and gives encouraging feedback/comments on assignments. I personally found the class very interesting and flexible. I'm glad I took it this semester !

Professor Lepree is by far one of the best professors you can ever take at CCNY! If you want a caring professor with lenient grading system please take this professor. He will give a lot of papers to write throughout the semester but he gives amazing feedback and a lot of time to write these papers! Do yourself a favor and take his class!

Very amaizing and caring professor! Also gives very interesting and great lectures. He is a very good professor and he will help you do good in his class

A good professor that isn't very harsh on the grading, which makes it easier to enjoy the class. There are a couple of papers that are 3 pages long along with some assignments given every month but their very easy and straightforward as long as you give it a try. so in conclusion a pretty easy class with a chill teacher.

I loved learning with Professor Lepree! Very interesting lectures

Professor Lepree is one of the best at CCNY. His World Civilizations class was engaging, well-structured, and easy to follow. He gave great feedback, made himself available, and didn't rely on textbooks. I learned a lot and really really enjoyed his class. Highly recommend if you want a professor who truly cares.

Professor Lepree is impressively knowledgeable on everything he teaches, you can tell he has a passion for the subject. There were lots of papers, but he outlines directions clearly, always makes himself available for support, and is a really lenient grader. He gave helpful feedback on papers and was genuinely invested in his students.

Professor Lepree is highly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he teaches. Despite the heavy writing load, his clear guidance, helpful feedback, and supportive nature made the class enjoyable. He truly cares about his students.

Don't get me wrong, the class was good. However, if you don't like writing DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The midterm had to be at minimum 10 pages and the final had to be at least 5 pages each (you were required to write two papers). Over the entire course, there were about 10 other papers and each of them were required to be at minimum 3 pages.

I took Professor Lepree in Spring 2024. What can I say? He truly is one of the best Professors in CCNY. He has a teaching style like no other and shows a passion for World History. I would've loved to have him as an in person instructor. Grade is based on a few essays, Written Homework assignments, and a Final.

The professor projects his passion for the course, making it easier to grasp. A lot of writing, but manageable; participation matters.
