Very humorous and makes history not boring unlike many history teachers. Tells you what you need to know, and teaches in a way that doesn't require you to follow along with a book. He doesn't assign homework, but you need to study for the weekly quizzes and the three tests. The tests can be a bit difficult, but they are balanced out with quizzes.

I loved his class first of all because he was funny, and he made the lectures comprehensive. He goes at a steady pace, will answer any questions you may have, and is all about his students. However, if you don't attend his class, don't expect to pass. Take notes, because those will be your big tool to pass. I passed the class with a B average

Really great professor! Knows the material well and is willing to answer any questions. Weekly quizzes that require reading about 12-15 pages, but it isn't bad. Lectures are good, but you have to listen and take notes. Tells you what the test and writing portion will be over, but if you have good notes, you'll be fine. Really funny, too.

He is hilarious! His lectures are amazing, which is also a large part of the exams. The exams are a little difficult, and every week you have to read one chapter out of Voices of Freedom and there is a quiz over it. The other text book is used so little he tells you to use it out of the library. Study for your exams the way he tells you to.
