great class and best teacher I have had at vsu in 3 years

Best teacher I have ever had! I learned more in one semester in his class than I ever did in all other school years combined (from grade school and up).

good lectures because he knows lots of trivia that makes a the class that much more interesting- willing to answer questions and goes out of his way to explain things if you don't understand-he's good to look at too!!!!

A pure teacher-really teaches. All of us girls thought he was cool. Guys liked him too. Knows his stuff and is really interesting to listen to.

He is awsome four tests and one book report and he gives you as study guide of what is on the tests. He is super smart and reads a lot.

This man makes a subject I hate enjoyable. Actually teaches unlike other vsu teachers i have had. Will go the extra mile for you-really cares whether his students learn. doesn't take himself seriously but takes what he does seriously-great teacher

great class and great teacher-really cares about his students-highly recommend. wish he taught more then 2112.

Fun-exciting-knows his stuff-relates well to young folks-real cool-has been around. Never a dull moment in class. Listen-discuss-take notes-study what he tells you and you will do good. best instructor I have had.

Great guy-fun class-never had a boring class-always has some great story to tell in conjunction with the class lecture. knows lots of trivia about topics discussed that makes it that more interesting-would take him again !!!!

awesome teacher. easy tests..only 4 and he gives a study guide. and one book report. gives extra credit questions, and some days he gives a +5 for tests, just for being there.

Interesting classes. Straightforward about coursework.

This is the ONLY history class that i have ever been interested in!!! He is GREAT!!!!!

EASY teacher. You don't have to go to class, but his lectures are very interesting. He has a tendency to exagerate though. He pulls his test questions straight from this website: http://www.mhhe.com/socscience/history/usa/unfinishednation/brinkley3ebrnk_s/chap27quiz.htm. Take the self-test and know the answers and you'll do fine!

He is an amazing teacher. The class is never boring and his stories are the best. Mr. Taw is also very fair when it comes to tests, and there's no final! I would recomend him to anyone and everyone!!!

If you get a chance to take one of his classes you're lucky! He's the best history teacher I've ever had! You don't have to go to class but I always did because they're always interesting. He's got a million great stories!! Sometimes he'll give you extra credit just for showing up to class... : )

Don't have to attend class. 4 tests 1 paper. Gives study guides that are helpful.

He is the funniest and most entertaining teacher i have had so far; however, his tests are kind of hard. He gives study guides, but they are so broad it is hard to pinpoint what will be on the test. You basically dont have to attend class because he never takes attendance, but i like to because i do learn a lot.

I stupidly dropped his class first time around. He tries to scare you away by lecturing on the first day but I actually loved going to his class!!! He's funny and has the best stories. He gives study guides before every test. You definately have to study. One book critique paper. I didn't even read the book and I made a 96 on the paper.TAKE HIM.

Awesome class. Dont have to go but go because he gives extra points for test alot. Test questions come off the internet site posted a few down. Know those and his study guide and your golden for an A. Gives one paper. I bsed the whole thing and made a 95. I think everyone did.

Professor Taw is a good teacher. The class is NOT easy! I went in thinking the class was a easy 'A' & I was wrong. You definitely have to 2 STUDY STUDY STUDY for the test..The book cratique is super easy. Attendance is not mandatory but he sometimes gives xtra credit just for showing up.Overall,GREAT TEACHER!

I thought this class was very easy. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because you do have to study before the tests, but as long as you do the study guide the tests are no problem. Almost everyone got an A on the book review. Put forth the little effort the class requires and you'll get an A.

Like this professor a lot. He went off topic often, but for the most part if you paid attention his tests were easy.

Taw is a good humorous teacher . there are about 4 tests and 1 book review . i bs'd the book review and got a 95. the tests are made right from the study guide in the little packet you buy from the bookstore. Class is not mandatory at all, he even says it. Just do the study guides and you have no choice but to PASS ! if i can, i will take him again

such an awesome teacher. laid back hilarous and easy going. i hate history but did well in his class.

Dr. Taw is SUPER easy & nice as long as you do what is asked! He's funny & sarcastic which is a good thing for his class! He's easy but he doesn't take any mess! He hates when you ask stupid questions or has to repeat himself for simple instructions. He gives 4 tests & a critique thats easy to BS! Overall, I would highly recommend!! Great teacher!

Prof Taw is so funny. He gives the best lectures. He doesn't really give out homework just tests and a critique, but the tests are almost exactly like the study guide so if you memorize the study guide you should be good for the test. And the critique is really easy, like an english 1101 paper easy.

Hilarious and fun great teacher

Professor Taw was pretty cool. Very funny! Class was pretty easy if you kept up with your notes and read your chapters. Only 4 tests in the entire class & the questions are straight off the study guide.

I enjoyed his class. You do have to study to make a good grade, but his tests seemed to get easier as the semester progressed. It was like he wanted people to drop after the first test. He is very funny and interesting. I would take his class again. We had 4 lecture tests and 1 open book best.

Jimmy Taw is a hilarious instructor, just do the study guides and you'll be good to go on the exams, no book reading really required, Taw pretty much spends most of the class talking about his own personal experiences growing up in 1950s and 1960s america and makes the course awesome, would take him again, highly recommend

Mr. Taw is absolutely one of my favorite teachers! He is very , veru funny. His class is very enjoyable, especially if its one of his lecture halls. You can pass his tests with flying colors as long as you take notes and review them. Make sure you refer back to the textbook as well. I would highly highly recommend. Great teacher!

Easy class if you have the study guide from previous years and if you come to class and take notes. Don't need to buy the book. Gets off subject a lot but funny. Take him only if you're willing to study. Extra credit on tests on video days.

Very laidback! Read the book and you'll do fine on the test! He does teach on the first day of class to scare you a little bit but other than that I definietly enjoyed this class! There's four test & one easy test over a book you have to read!

I really Loved his class he was one of the best teachers I had while attending VSU. He tells you what you need to know and gives you a study guide for every test (DO THE STUDY GUIDE YOU WILL MAKE AN A). He also gave examples and stories of when he was younger really awesome guy! (:

BEST PROFESSOR/CLASS EVER! He is so interesting&tells the best stories about his childhood and growing up.. such an interesting person. Class is super easy just do the study guide& you will get As on tests. dont need textbook but need vietnam book for test at end of semester (easy) tries to scare you off on the first day DONT LET HIM! HES AWESOME

EASIEST class to take! You receive a study guide for tests, word for word.

Take this class!! The easiest history course at VSU, just do the study guides, go to class, and you'll do fine. Only grades are 4 tests, and a book test. The best teacher i had my freshman year!

100% Exam based grade. Very easy multiple choice tests. Lectures are interesting, he is very animated and fun to listen to.

This Professor is James Taw. He is from New York City. He keeps the entire class engaged at all times with great stories from past history and what it was like for him growing up at the time. Most certainly the best professor in the world. The class is so amazing.

Super easy and interesting. Just do the study guides.

I highly recommend him! His test are super easy. All you have to do is complete the study guide. His lectures are entertaining and funny He talks a lot about his past.

I highly recommend him! His test are super easy. All you have to do is complete the study guide. His lectures are entertaining and funny

Taw's class was a breeze. Just take a few notes and pay attention and you'll do fine. He likes to tell stories that he feels connect to the material and most are pretty interesting. NO TECHNOLOGY though, so keep your phone put up. Test are basically verbatim from the study guides. He does give an extra-credit opportunity.

By far the easiest class I've taken my freshman year. All you have to do is complete out the study guide he gives you and you'll pass every test, because they're identical. Easy A! There is no way anyone should ever fail this class. I'd also like to mention that his lectures are the BEST and extremely hilarious.

I loved history before I got this guy but after him I understood history.

Theres only four tests which he gives study guides, and you can find the study guides on quizlet. He takes attendance every other day. His class is a lecture and he barely writes notes on the board. His lectures are very funny, and I would take him again. DO NOT TAKE PHONE OUT. Im pretty sure he is in the mafia. :)

My favorite professor by far. He knows his stuff. He lectures off of knowledge. Tests are exactly the same material as study guides. He is very entertaining and cracked me up everyday. He keeps it real and is down to Earth. Wish I could take the class again.

Professor Taw is the best professor I have had since I came to VSU 3 years ago. He knows his stuff, is very blunt, funny, and knows how to teach. He keeps the class entertained and informed through his lectures. Only 4 tests and study guides are given for all of them. The test material comes directly from the study guides. Show up & listen.

James Taw is the best. One of the best attributes that he has is being able to connect with students and he should be a comedian because he talks about the tough times he had when he was living as a young New Yorker.

If you go to class, take notes on each of the topics he talks about, you CAN NOT FAIL! You are required to read the Vietnam Book but many people didn't and still passed; so its your choice. He's a funny guy, I could sit and listen to him talk for hours. His tests are so easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I would take him again for any class.

Professor Taw is AMAZING!! His lectures are super easy to understand. You do have to hand write notes but its not that bad. There are only 4 tests which he gives you study guides for and they're basically the test. This class is nearly impossible to fail

He's a really good prof and if you study you'll do fine on the tests. He doesn't take disrespect and he'll make you leave if you get on your phone. But the A is worth the time without your phone. Definitely take him

easiest class ever! do the study guides the answers are online! the study guide is basically the test! I made the mistake of not doing the first study guide for the first test and ended up making a B in the class :/

He gives the option at the beginning of the semester that you can choose an extra credit assignment but that's just an optional thing. He only grades you based on your test and attendance is a must. He doesn't do PowerPoints but he does give out study guides. If you study that you'll always pass the test. Easy class overall

Hilarious, B.A. kinda guy. Attendance is a must and don't even think about pulling out any electronics during class. Do the study guides and actually listen to his lectures in class. The study guides the tests. Tons of multiple choice.

Taw was great! He was out a couple of times so out of the four tests, 2 were take home. 3 additional assignments you can do last minute but took a little time but they were easy. Use his study guides. He is a good lecturer but I bombed the last test because I didn't study.

Great guy and prof

Great teacher! His class is straight forward and an easy A. If you do not study, you probably will not do well.

He's super funny, and has experienced most of the things he's teaching.

He says theres a textbook you need, but don't buy it. You never use it. He also gives out study guides, but you can find them online. Otherwise he's a pretty funny guy and it's hard not to be entertained, but don't dare pull your phone out in class!

I only needed one history class for my major, and I'm beyond happy I chose Taw as my professor. Tests are literally identical to the study guides (compelete it, you'll get an A), & only 3 mandatory assign. in between, which are super easy. No papers/pop quizzes. He makes this class as easy as possble so its less stress on him. TAKE IT! PERIOD.

Easy A. 3 assignments during the whole semester, all very easy and self-explanatory. You have 4 multiple choice tests all of which he gives a study guide, which can all be found online. No phones. Lectures are okay some days and interesting other days it depends on the topic. He does take attendance. Won't hold you in class if not necessary.

One of my favorite professors so far. His lectures tell you everything thats gonna be on the tests and he gives easy study guides. No reason anyone should fail his class.

Honestly loved this class. Only 3 assignments, 4 multiple choice tests and no final. He takes attendance and hates phones/laptops but is a pretty funny guy most of the time while he lectures. Gives study guides that are just like the test and grades pretty easy. The assignments aren't hard but he's definitely a no-bs kinda guy

best class to ever take! Lectures are boring, but he's very funny. Makes alot of jokes during lecture but HATES cell phones!!! Assignments are online & tests look exactly like study guide!!

One of the best professors I have taken. Study guides are just like the tests. Lectures are kind of boring but he will make you laugh with his jokes. He doesn't like cell phones at all so be careful or he will kick you out. Respect him and he will respect you!

PASS ALL OF YOUR TEST!

James Taw is a great professor considering that this class is a History class. He gives you guided notes every class for his lectures. For every test, he will give you a study guide that exactly reflects the test.

Mr. Taw is a great professor, although his lectures are boring ,. he really knows what he's talking about. He gives you 4 mandatory assignments and 4 tests and that's it. It's really easy to pass his class as long as you study and turn your work in on time. I can say if I had to take him again I would.

Mr. Taw is so nice and really cares about his students. As long as you turn in your work on time you'll get an A for the mandatory assignments. And as for the tests, he actually gives study guides which are the tests word for word. If you don't make an A, thats seriously a personal problem.

YES! YES! YES! Best decision ever to take Mr. Taw! Only had 4 easy assignments and 4 tests. He let us take the first test at home and gave us the option to skip the last test. Lectures were funny and engaging. Gave note sheets for every lecture and study guide which was the exact same as the test. Really amazing person with a cool life experiences.

4 tests, 4 homework assignments. Get extra credit by showing up to class on days others typically skip (like days before long weekends.) Do not miss these. Look up his tests on Quizlet to study. Don't be late, talk, text or use a computer in class.

The lecture is LONG but I only like it because he compares it to his childhood which makes things more interesting.

Taw is the best history professor. His lectures are long but they are funny. His study guides are exactly what is on the test it is no way you can fail his class

Professor Taw is awesome. Sometimes you're in class for 5 minutes and other times you're there the whole time but it's never boring, in my opinion. He relates a lot of his lectures to his childhood and he always has funny stories. Be sure to show up every day because he gives extra credit on days where few people show up.

Hes a great professor. He makes the lectures interesting, and he has a great sense of humor. There are only 8 grades for the semester, but he gives you plenty of resources to use and study. He doesnt use any powerpoints. He just lectures, but he gives guided notes. USE THE RESOURCES. They will definitely help. He has everything on the syllabus.

He is the most interesting teacher that I've had since being at Valdosta State. As long as you show up, listen, and stay quiet; you have nothing to worry about. He makes the lectures interesting enough to stay alert.

Its only 4 quizzes and 4 mandatory assignments, and the mandatory assignments are just 3 sets of 10 songs to analyze, and the last mandatory assignment is a movie. The class can get a little boring at times but his stories are really interesting. Id love to have him again.

At first he seems kind of serious. But hes actually quite funny. All you have to do is sit there and listen. Theres few assignment and tests. Theyre all easy if you use the study guides.

This man is amazing, when i first started taking his class i thought it was going to be so hard because he just lectured, there was nothing on the board or a powerpoint you just had to take notes by ear but a week or couple days before the test he would provide a study guide which would help alot . only 4 homework assignments.

Professor Taw was one of the highlights of my semester. He seems like a very serious and almost scary person at first but he really isn't. He expects the bare minimum of you and as long as you do you will pass it with an A. His lectures are informative and he lived a lot of what he talks about which makes the lecture just that much more interesting
