Excellent professor. He does not use the book a much, the tests are mostly based on notes, which are excellent. He does e-mail them (very helpful!) but YOU STILL NEED to attend class to do well.

Extra credit is important. I do not like these type of classes but it is required. I did not expect to do well, but the extra credit made a difference.

Professor Blazevic is a VERY Tough grade on exams and quizzes. He expects you to answer every question in a full paragraph(for short answers). I have literally given full definitions from the textbook PLUS an example or second definition and I'll be docked points. If it's for a required credit... Good Luck...

This course should not have been as difficult as it was. The quizzes and tests are very nitpicky for the answers-There were some answers where answers contradicted each other in the same textbook. The quizzes formatting is also very confusing with some quizzes covering chapters we haven't yet reached. Don't take this class unless you need to.

There are 3 discussions quizzes and exams and no final. Theres also 3 extra credit opportunities. Super funny guy but he does expect you to study and expand your knowledge on us history. Also gives extra credit for showing up when the semester is half over and like 7 people show up

I am in high school and the "college students" who are seated around me complain a lot about how hard the class is. Yeah, it is a hard class, but isn't that what a college course is? I am getting an A, but I am working for it. He has chapter notes, which I have use for every assignment. I have also turned in every extra credit assignment.

Just took the final, whoa! There is a textbook, but you can get away with barely using it since Blaz gives chapter notes. The course was tough. I only did one extra credit assignment, if I would have turned in another, I would have A-. Blaz is good, but I would never take again. . . . I do not need any more of these history courses.

Blazevic has made this course 100x more difficult than it should've been. Each exam he expects exact answers to a fine T without any slight error. He words multiple choice questions terribly, and is very little help on explaining his answers. He expects only perfection with each test and will DESTROY your grade because of it. 0/10

Professor Blazevic was a good professor, however, there are very few points in the class. It is fairly easy to get an A as long as you use his chapter notes and read the textbook. His grading never made since though, and he would not work with students.

Hardest teacher I have ever had. He does not teach well and DESTROYS your grade. Docks points on every tiny thing. Also, I was told he makes quizlets and puts the wrong answers on purpose. Do not study with quizlet!! On his test, he would switch the number on the years just to trick you even if everything else was correct. Do not take unless needed

Professor Blazevic has to be one of my favorite professors of all time. He has a passion for what he teaches and really wanted us to understand the importance of the material. With that being said, his quizzes and tests are quite hard if you do not already have a foundation understanding about government. He grades tough, but is also understanding.

Jason Blazevic will call you out when you are being disruptive. He won't get angry, but he will point out that you are not paying attention to the rest of the class. He is very funny, and you feel comfortable to add on to his lectures.

Wonderful teacher, but also one of the toughest I ever had. Although there is technically a textbook, you just need to follow his notes. *Everything* in these notes shows up on the exams and he will dock points for omitting the smallest tidbits. However, succeeding in his class is a rewarding experience and you will learn a lot!

The reason I received the A- is I did not turn in all of the extra credit. Turn in the extra credit! Good class and I had to see him to talk him into reopening an assignment. He is nice and told a joke while eating a peanut butter sandwich. I guess that is why there were jars of peanut butter.

I took this class online and it was often a headache. He tells you everything is in the notes but docks you a ton of points for "only" including those details in the essay portions of each test. Despite changing how I answer the essay questions (including extra details, connections, etc.) I always only got half credit. Extra credit is a lifesaver.

Love him as a person but not as a teacher. His class is 100% lecture and only that. I don't learn that way so I had a very hard time learning anything and would have to watch youtube videos to actually understand what was going on. The test are also very very hard and he only gives a study guide for the exams.

He calls out students, makes them uncomfortable, but to him its 'funny'. Test study guides are too broad for a great score on his tests. He spends most of lecture off topic from the notes and the chapter. We only get through a maximum of 1 chapter a day, but usually like half one. The notes are about 5 pages so it shouldn't be hard to get through.

This class only had 3 discussions, 3 quizzes, and 3 exams, with 1 extra credit assignment per module. That was nice, but you basically just read the textbook the entire semester. There were no lectures or homework assignments. You definitely teach yourself, though he provides notes for each chapter, a study guide, and the tests are open book/note.
