very hard teacher homework wise but he gives u the answer to the test so it average things out

cynical in class, but if you go see him in person he is really helpful and can give great pointers for the test.

A very challenging teacher. A lot of readings and homework. His multiple choices tests are very confusing but be sure do good on your essay question. You should read all the readings, do all of the homework, and understand the concepts very clearly.

He's handsome, witty and very knowledgeable in his field. His lectures are interesting, engaging and informative. Don't be lazy, contribute and you will benefit. Whole learning method, (chain-effect on events) makes his test a breeze. Plan to listen/study

His looks kept me coming to class-but it paid off-I got an A. I took him 2 years ago, so maybe he has changed things, but I found the class pretty straightforward. Read, take notes, and you'll be fine.

Class was pretty straight foward. Pay attention & study and you'll be good.

Not that bad of a teacher, seems knowledgeable, kind of cute. Class gets kinda boring after a while, and there wasnt much interaction between students/teacher. Most of the reading was boring.

not bad for a required class. his tests are hard-essay- but if you study and go to class, you should do ok. he says he offers no extra credit, but he does. has a pantera flag in his office! cynical but helpful in his office. history majors should take him.

There are weekly hmwks on readings from two books. The one he actually utilizes for the test is the book you do not do homework on, Nash. He's kinda cute, smart, interesting, and challenging. A wonderful teacher really! And he's hilarious at times! Great for History majors who like essay tests!

very smart and witty; somewhat disorganized. the class is pretty easy if you actually go, pay attn, and do the homeowork. i enjoyed taking his class bc he made history sort of enjoyable and was funny to listen and watch. overall, if you are motivated to learn you will do well and enjoy this class

DO THE HW! I didn't do 3 so I got a B. And speak in class for your participation points. Tests are fairly easy if you answer the study guides beforehand. Quizzes are supereasy--multiple choice. Lectures are okay, he can be funny at times. Not bad for a GE required class.

Hes a teacher that will keep it real with you. Ask questions and he will be nice enough to help you with anything, but if you're rude he will be rude back. His lectures are confusing cuz his thoughts jump around a lot. Must do the readings and the homeworks. Study guide is basically the test

I took him after getting a D in Dr. Black's class, and he was so much better. He actually keeps his students informed. Homework or no, I'd rather have that than someone who is in their own world and doesn't seem to care much about students at all.

My only advice for this class is to do the study guide and study it for dear life. Your test consists of your study guide. Also, do the homework..it's not that bad, just a few questions from the book..plus, he has a lot of extra credit opportunities that are so random.

He's VERY lenient. His tests require writing essays--not bad at all when you take good notes (the 2 MC quizes were hard). To me, history was boring, but he changed that. Do the annoying HW cuz they are easy points that can hurt if you don't turn them in. He gave random extra credit points and even a take-home final!

hilarious guy. very dry sense of humor. just do the work and follow directions and you can get an A. very reasonable teacher. would take him again. he likes you to use in class notes on quizes and papers. also when giving a book reference he likes you to give ones that show you read more than the intro.

He's an awesome professor. Looks like a GAP ad, lol! He's great, he teaches well, he's hilarious too! I enjoyed his class. He also teaches history at LBCC.

He is a really good teacher. I have never gotten an A in any of my previous history classes but I got an A in his class. He is a really cool, kind of laid back teacher. He is also funny in his own weird way. I recommend him.

He's a funny guy. There are two quizzes about half way through before the midterm and the final. It consisted of 10 multiple choice questions and 3 writing questions(about a paragraph for each question). There are two writing tests. Homeworks are long, boring,and challenging.

As long as you take notes, do the homework, and study for the two tests, you will do fine in his class. He is very nice and his lectures are interesting. He is humorous and easy-going.

Lawler was excellent in my opinion. I did not care about the subject at all,but his lectures were awesome and I learned alot. His tests and papers were easy if you followed his instructions. As I look back on my college career, his class stands out as being one I loved taking. If you want a challenge and growth as a student take this professor.

First day of class he told us his goal was to get this class of 44 students down to 10. Yeah he is extremely hard and not all that nice at times. I would totally not recommend taking him because I hated his class.

He made me work for my A, but it was worth it. He's there to teach, not make friends. This strategy works for him, and students. He's a bit condescending, but it's meant in humor. Participation, and turning assignments in on time will promise you at least a C, maybe a B. Hard work, and listening to his comments promise you a B, maybe an A.

A very fun class, test may be a little hard but if you study you should be good. Funiest teacher i have ever had.

I took him years ago so I am not very clear on his work load, I think I pulled off an A. But jeez he is so Hot, I showed up and paid attention in class because of that if nothing else.

I was not interested in this class at all, but his lectures were very interesting and the work given was managable. I loved his sarcastic, dry sense of humor.

Go to lectures and he's a breeze.

funniest teacher ever. not a bad work load. understanding. i dont recomend the winter class tho its too long. he is interesting and makes class go by faster. pick him

Great teaching style! actually makes the class interesting, work load ... well he makes u work for an A ... even if its an undergrad course ... but highly recommend his course ... very funny! (^_^)

He makes history fun. Homeworks are kind of boring though. You have to read the text in order to perform well on the written test. On the day of the test he will randomly choose two topics for discussion. There will be at least seven terms you must respond to, just put alot of effort into it with alot of background information to support your

He makes history intersting and knows how to make his students think. Homeworks are reasonable and be sure to show some thinking was put forth, after all it is a critical thinking class. Overall, intesting class and i recommend it.

Professor Lawler is super hot! The class was an easy A and he is awesome to look at.

Good teacher, very easy to listen to. He knows so much about history. Can get a little excited during lecture and go in depth but everything you need to know for the tests are from lecture. For the Beach board quizzes read the introductions as well as skim through the documents and you'll be fine.

He is an awesome history. He is very laid back and he's hillarious! I really enjoyed his class. For the beachboard quizzes use your book and I'd suggest you read whatever he assigns, it will make the tests a lot easier

sometimes the test are tricky and when he is lecturing, u still know where he is because he is jumping around. but in general, easy

He can be kind of a jerk at first but he eventually gets a little better... don't let him know that though. His class is kind of easy and the online quizes rock if you remember to do them. The tests are a little tough. The grade comes 100% from tests and quizes. His lectures can be a little confusing at times because he jumps around.

Not a difficult class, but keeping up with the reading is important. Online quizzes are easy, but in-class tests are pretty difficult. Just keep up with the reading. His lectures are usually pretty interesting; he knows his stuff. He likes tangents. He gets pretty sarcastic sometimes, but you can *usually* tell when he's joking. Funny guy. :)

Absolutely adored this teacher. I have hated history my entire life and he made me like it. His lectures are interesting. You do not have to go because he gives a study guide before the test and you can just read the book, but I personally benefited from going. He gave a take home final. He is also cute. I definitely recommend this teacher.

It's a chill class to have. Your attendance is not mandatory so that makes it easy. Just make sure you study for the tests and do the online quizes and you'll be fine. Oh and he's a really cool guy, really funny!

go to lectures if you want to do well on the 3 test. everything he goes overs can be answers for test. if wanna do well in class , do beachboard quizzes on semi-long reading to do well in class. its a boring class except when in good mood and funny!

He is a funny funny man! He knows it is a GE class and knows more than half the students dont care about history. Accordingly, he grades very generously, gives online quizes, and at the end lets you either keep the grade you have or do a take-home final! How easy do you want the guy to be? Not the best for actual learning though.

I have learn a lot about History in his class than in High School. Barely any homework but a lot of reading that can pile up very quickly if you don't stay up with the material. I will never forget his "John Smith is great" quote, even though it didn't help me on the exam.

Loved this class. Yes he can be full of himself but he knows his stuff. He makes history really interesting. His notes all over the place. He doesn't BS which i loved. I only had to take three tests and didn't have to take the final.

Simply amazing! Pros: Hilarious! If you like sarcasm, he's the perfect professor. He also (pretty much) looks like Dr. Gregory House from the show "House". He's super smart and knows history well. Cons: His notes were all over the board and kind of confusing. His grading evens out the laid back feeling for the class, unfortunately -not easy but fun

Good class and good lecturer. The writing was reasonable. He made me enjoy American History! He's also young and cool--very collegiate.

To all the people that found this teacher to be boring, full of himself or hard in any way, are possibly just lazy and did not pay attention to lectures AT ALL. Probably the funniest teacher I've ever had and most likely the BEST lecturer I've ever had. All of his tests are straight from lecture and reading is only necessary for the homework.

He does look like House. His lectures can be tiring from time to time, but he does make you laugh as well. His tests are mostly writing and he's fair in grading. Don't be surprise what he has in stores for the final and trusts me, its a good thing. :-)

He is quite intimidating at first but is not too bad. You read for homework. His notes are definitely crazy so you cannot copy them exactly. You have to write it so you understand it( called good notetaking skills for those who can't keep up with his notes) Almost dropped the class when I saw what he wanted 4 1st exam but stayed. Got an A in class

Awesome professor, very entertaining and funny, you'll never be too bored. Just do what he says and you should be fine :)

Funny and interesting professor, though often sarcastic and cynical. Very hard grader. I love history but am not enjoying this class.

This is not an easy class, so don't expect an easy A. HOWEVER, you do learn a lot. Instead of mindlessly making you memorize details, he expects you to really know the material (which isn't that hard if you pay attention during lecture). I got a C because I slacked off and turned in the final late, but I don't even care because I learned so much.

This class was horribly boring. I am a straight A student and struggled to get even a B in the class. It was extremely disappointing. I would recommend taking someone else if you dont want your history interests to be ruined

Had him in the morning , he was pretty fun, teaching style was good, i actually liked history after the semester, tests are EASY it might seem long theres an essay , mult choice , and a small response ...believe it or not the mult choice was the hardest one, because the other sections you are ONLY voicing basically what you learned =)

A lot of people are saying he is hard. So not.. just go to class and take good notes. He basically tells you everything you need to know. 3 exams, can use cheat sheet and also gives you outline of exams, how much easier do you want it? if you acutally spend time studying for exams and not just the night before the test, it's a very easy A.

he's so hot! he's very sarcastic, but i love it. take good notes, listen, attend class regularly & you should be fine. there are 3 test, & he lets you bring it a half paper of notes. what else can you ask for? those that don't like are just LAZY.

Cool class. It has comedy, sarcasm,and a hint of awkward moments. He's a great prof! I love his teaching style and tangents he take in most lectures. You'll enjoy it!

Not a very challenging class, just requires hard work, really study notes & book.His lectures are funny & interesting you learn alot but his notes are all over the place. take him, hes a cutie (;

Cool, funny, sarcastic and informative. If you plan on taking U.S History you should take his class

Lawler is the perfect example of teachers that start out tough and get progressively easier. He made a methods class interesting and enjoyable he definitely gets my vote.

This class is do-able. I admit that I am lazy when it comes to keeping up with reading and stuff, and this class has a lot of reading. If you go to class and take notes and actually study for the tests (which are blue book essay tests by the way), the class is do-able. This class is hard, but if you work at it you'll be fine.

If you like history and can write a good essay, you'll do well in his class.

This is a great class. He is very sarcastic which makes lectures more interesting! Tests are easy as long as you read and can write a good essay. His notes are crazy and all over the place but if you read ahead of time it is easy to follow along. Highly recommend this class with this prof!

Take this professor! He's the best!!! He's very funny and interesting and is a total babe!!! (Hands off ladies, this ones mine) But overall the class is pretty easy, all you do is talk about things in class. And all you have to do is write good essays!

He is so hot!! Can you say eye candy? As far as the workload, it's pretty intense. There are a lot of hard readings and papers. If you're good at writing essays, you'll be fine. Just go to him for help. I basically got A's on everything and I still went to his office hours for tips on improvement. Plus, I wanted to check out the nice view. ;)

As long as you do the reading, you have to actually read, then you will be fine. Also, now how to write a good essay. A

This class was pretty great the times I was able to stay awake. The hours didn't really agree with me, but his sarcasm and wit were able to keep me awake for about half the class. If you read the book and take good notes this class is a breeze

This class isn't easy, but if you're willing to put in the work and actually listen to him in class, then you'll get a decent grade. He kept the lectures interesting, well i thought so. He's hard grader, I'll give you that but he's also a good professor.

His critical thinking class sure gets you thinking. Although his work may be challenging, he is an excellent professor. Entertaining and knows his stuff. The first half of the semester, make sure to go over your work thoroughly, but the second half, just do the work and you're good. If you go to class, be prepared for him calling you out on stuff.

Interesting guy. He really did know his stuff and I found his sarcasm pretty hilarious. However, you MUST read the material as well as attend lectures to get higher than a C. He expects you to UNDERSTAND historical concepts, not just know them by memory. And I promise, his class becomes quite interesting if you pay attention well.

A very interesting course with a very interesting professor.. knows what he is talking about. would reccomend for anyone who is a poly sci major/ hist major or anyone who wants to learn how to learn in college. this class has strenthend my work ethic tremendously... reading is necessary.. overall grade: a

I think he's not quite as bad as people make him out to be although he has a pretty sarcastic but funny sense of humor. As long as you go to the lectures and understand the material (..which you should be able to grasp by now), you should do fine.

If you need help, go to his office hours: he'll update you on your grade or help you out (give hints) on difficult assignments. Do the reading, go to class,he's not an easy teacher, but if you're a good writer you'll be fine. Didn't study for the final and still got an A, just make sure to study from his study guides. Check Beachboard!He's witty :)

He is not a hard teacher, but he does expect you to do the work. There was only one paper and the final. He is a pretty funny guy, and if you show up and get involved in the discussions he is not bad.

He's funny, entertaining, and very sarcastic. Going to lecture is very helpful, as he explains concepts in the simplest ways. He is extremely smart, and possibly one of the best teachers I've ever had. The hardest part about his class was having to remember dates.

if you're a bad writer, don't take him (read: don't waste his time). Very smart, knows his stuff, & knows how to make it interesting & relevant. 2 exams, 1 paper, & weekly short answer questions. All straight to the point, making you think along the way. The paper is on a short (substantial) novel. Would take him again. Thank u again prof Lawler -c

Loved his class. He has a dryse of humor that is not for everyone but he is smart and knows his stuff. He expects your writing to be at college level which should be obvious since we're in college.Weekly assignments that can be done in five minutes. Midterm, Final, and one big paper. He is also very sexy (;

pretty easy class! sometimes lectures can be boring, but definitely a manageable class. Nice teacher with a very dry sense of humor that I could see annoying some people. But overall I enjoyed the class!

He gives you a study guide for the essay exams. Not many teachers do that. Just go to class, do the study guides (2), try on the research paper, and you'll be fine with at least a B.

2 essays/Review Questions/MT/Final. Lawler was great! I actually enjoyed history with him. He doesn't just read off slides or notes, he actually makes us feel like were in the 18th century! I never read the book, which was a huge mistake. Make sure you do ALL the assignments, they're a few of them, but count a lot towards your grade.

Lawler's extremely fair and reasonable. He tells you everything he wants upfront, and practically gives you the exam ahead of time on the study guide. Nothing should be a surprise in this class, and everything was extremely doable. An A was not hard to get. I find that the people who complain about this class are just extremely lazy and whiney.

His class is a lil more challenging than other GEs but not even close to horrible. People just like to complain. He gives study guides & all u have to do is study frm them. Mostly frm the book/some from lecture. Straight forward. He made history interesting for the most part, funny guy/laid back. This isn't high school anymore so keep that in mind.

his class is doable. he gives 3 exams and 1or 2 papers. he also assigns 2 or 3 sets of review questions. he gives study guides with the ID's and questions from the tests, so there's no reason not to do well. he's kind of a no nonsense sort of guy when it comes to work ethics, but he's also really sarcastic. don't take if you're a slacker

I'm having a great time having Jeff as my professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but has lectures on Tuesdays and worksheets on Thursdays. His lectures are far from boring and makes early U.S. history interesting. Had one mini-essay, one exam, and one final. Quizzes are weekly, but online so it's impossible to fail them. Explain well on tests.

I love this class! Lawler is one of my favorite professors in college so far. He's funny and makes history very simple. He will never make things complicated or overwhelm you with work. I'm having a great time learning history from him…take him if you can!

Good professor! sometimes was boring but interesting class and he helps whenever you need it.just one midterm and final and quizes every week. He provided study guide, thats pretty helpful. you'll have to read two novels and do a test on them but they were not hard at all. i really recomend him!

His lectures were really interesting and informative. Always looked forward to his lectures. Textbook is very helpful but not 100% necessary if you take pay attention and take good notes. That's how good his lectures are. He's also pretty hot.

His lectures were extremely clear and very interesting. Always looked forward to his lectures. Book very helpful but his lectures are so informative that it wasn't necessary during the last half of the semester. However, he gives weekly assignments that will mess up your grade if you miss a couple.

Lawler is filled with humor! He is a great professor. No exams! Isn't that great? Only weekly quizzes online, so there a piece of cake. 3 group projects. Good luck finding responsible group mates! One folder due at the end of semester (includes notes on each chapter of book). EASY A!

I loved his class. He's a great guy. He knows what he's talking about, and makes the class enjoyable. There's a couple of written assignments, all easy, and weekly online quizzes. There are two essay based exams and two essay tests based on mandatory reading. I recommend this class if you like history. He's truly great, and as a bonus, he's hot.

I have to admit, I had a fat crush on this teacher since my freshman year but it's mainly because of his dry sense of humor & just how he presents himself. Lawler wants you to attend class & pay attention so he sometimes includes in-class assignments but they are very easy & helpful for the tests which are ALL written but he gives a study guide.

Good guy, he really picks at your brain. The majority of his class was group projects and written assessments.

He is the coolest guy! Seriously. If you cant pass the class with at least a B you arent trying hard enough. He gives you the answers you just have to pay attention. You dont even need to read the book. 2 tests. Quizzes every week(unlimited time & easy). He is so chill. Talk to him! Hes very understanding. Favorite guy :)

Pay attention in class and take your time during in-class assignments. Easy to pass if you try. Textbook probably needed if you want an A. 1 midterm (all short answeressay), 1 final (all short answeressay), easy online quizzes and a little more challenging in-class assignments. Cool guy and interesting lectures.

Very nice guy, tests aren't too hard and he is clear about what he wants. Not the easiest class, but anyone can receive an A if they put in enough work. On the other hand if you are a remember some dates and names and know what points to hit you don't need to study much.

Lawler can come off as an intimidating guy, but if you get to talk to him he is actually really nice and unders tanding. Group projects are the basis of your grade and the essays aren't too bad. He really wants you to think in depth about what he is trying to get across. Be ready for plenty of questions!

He was a good teacher and clear on what he wanted. Handed out the study guides for both short essay midterm and final. (only 2 tests) There were two group assignments throughout the semester only one class period, and not mandatory to work with others. Weekly quizzes which are easy. As long as you show up to class and listen, you can get an A.

If you hate history, this is the class for you! All you have to do is take weekly online quizzes, 3 in class assignments, 1 midterm, and 1 final. He lets you use the front and back of an index card for his tests; both are essay-only tests. He gives out A LOT of extra credit. I hate history and somehow managed to get an A in his class.

Professor lawyer is an easy professor. He does give random extra credit opportunities. Weekly quizzes that can be found on the internet. The exam is literally the study guide. He is super easy. very straight forward on what he wants. Really easy class.

Just show up to class, take group quizzes and you'll pass. He has one midterm (you can use front and back of a notecard) and the final is an essay which he gives you months to do. He was very nice, funny and helpful. I'd love to take another one of his classes in the future.

He has a very dry humor that most of the bad reviewers dont understand. Hes very nice!! Easily got a B+. Put in a little effort & u will have an A. We had 4 essays (1 for each book we read), & 4 group work assignments (i did mine alone, he didnt care). Just follow his directions and ur golden. I hardly went to class, i passed easily.

Great sense of humor, gives specific study guides that exactly like the tests. Show up to review sessions and do the facilitator sessions and you will easily pass. Novels are easy to read, make sure to use quotes when writing historical thinking responses. Highly suggest Lawler if you don't want a lot of work.

Textbook isn't needed, but if you do want to it's online anyways. Has you read 3 short novels with long response questions for each, 2 written exams. Every other 2 weeks there's facilitator sessions that help you with the novels and questions. Overall, the class was enjoyable for me because he's pretty chill and has interesting lectures.

Lectures arent mandatory. You do have assigned books and you dont really need the online textbook as long as you have the lecture notes. One homework assignment for each unit and its not too difficult. Lets you use a notecard on the midterm and final.

Lawler is a great professor who is very knowledgeable, and passionate, about the subject he teaches. He posts the readings online because they come from multiple sources and you take notes on them, then discuss them in the next class. Straightforward grader with very doable assignments IF you do the readings and participate in class.

as a liberal studies major, many people warned his class would be challenging, but it wasn't that bad! as long as u read a lot & write well you'll be fine! graded by few things & tests are all essays. requires a lot of reading material :/ but provides exact study guides for exams. a funny guy & will provide good help if u need it!

Go to his lectures, pay attention, and you'll pass. Literally that's it.

You literally don't need to attend his lectures but just attend the Historical Thinking meetups to get the points you need. It felt like a waste of time going to his lectures being bored, but he is a very funny guy. Good professor, makes jokes, and tries to make his lectures fun.

The textbook is online and is free. You are not required to go to his lectures, but you are required to go to your Historical Thinking groups to do his assignments (every 2 weeks; 6 meetings in total). All you need for his 2 exams are in his lectures, but his lectures can be boring. Reading is not required but is recommended. Overall pretty chill.

Professor Lawler did an amazing job teaching California history. The lectures are all super interesting, even more so are the readings. There's quite a few of them you have to do with annotations, but overall none of the work is too hard and Lawler explains everything in a way that's easy to understand

Lawler is an amazing professor who is extremely knowledgeable, he's a funny guy and if you love history you'll love him. Every week you have annotations to do based on the readings provided, they aren't hard just tedious if you put them off. Only had to write one paper and it was for the final exam, overall a very interesting course.

Taking this class over winter session was rigorous, yet very rewarding. The class is only 4 weeks long, so the deadlines are tight. However, Prof. Lawler makes the workload manageable, with 6 modules each consisting of book annotations, a quiz, and historical thinking. No exams, but one 750 word paper at the end which wasn't too bad.

I'm not the best student, I tend to do just enough to get by and Lawler's class was super easy for me, never really showed up to class but studied when it was time for an exam. Only 2 exams and a page paper due about every other Sunday night.

I took this class during the 2020-2021 Winter session. The class wasn't assignment heavy so I was able to fully enjoy my Winter break. The reading material comes from a free textbook and Lawler had very easy to understand lectures which made the class a breeze. All his expectations are clear and he is very easy to reach out to for questions.

Great professor. He graded everything super fast and gave feedback every time. It's not the easiest of A's but very possible. I took him for winter session and the class went by so fast. Not much work, just a lot of reading. No exams just 1 final paper that's only 1-2 pages.

Professor Lawler is an understanding professor and has super interesting lectures. The class is based off textbook annotations, discussion posts, and historical thinking questions. It can be a lot if you leave the assignments to the last minute, but I think they're pretty reasonable. He grades super quick too. Exams are free response.

Professor Lawler for 307 was Great. He first comes off as sorta mean but its the way he talks when really he is a really chill and nice guy. His lectures are very coordinated and very responsive to emails. A little messy only due to this new history class. You will be doing many readings and 3 essays that are reasonably manageable.

I remember that Professor Lawler assigned students to do Historical Thinking Documents, online meetings, time mapper, exams, and summarizing the chapter's material. You will need to manage your time wisely and be on top of everything to pass the class with at least a B-. The professor is understanding of the hardships the students face.

Loved prof lawler! Engaging class and easy work load. Provides all readings that essays are on and explains sources well. He wants you to come to class having read the assigned readings so discussions can be more fruitful. Super nice guy!

Lawler is a very caring teacher that really prioritizes student mental health. I took his online winter class for two weeks and it was extremely fast paced. Every unit's workload is due every three days. I was working full-time and this made it harder to do the work, but even then I was able to get an A so it's definitely doable.

TAKE THIS CLASS!! I took him spring 2022, and hes honestly a good teacher, you can just text him on slack and he will get back to you when he can. He also gives your extension if youre going through something. Just make sure you dont abuse his kindness. Also this class is really one of those classes that you dont stress about.

Textbook is free, 5 Annotations per Section (2 sections in Each Unit. Make them as detailed as possible), 6 HT Assignments (2 questions, 500wc, make detailed), 2 Cranial Exams (writing based, 600 word limit essay). Facilitator meetings mandatory. Must complete 1/3 slack assignments (reading an article and answering a question)

The lectures were fantastic. Homework was a weekly reading to annotate, which really wasn't difficult. He's relatively an easy grader when it comes to essays. I would highly recommend this class.

Lawler is a very kind professor, though his lectures can be boring the work itself is easy. There aren't many assignments and only 2 "exams". I would recommend him if you can follow along with boring lectures since the work is so easy. You don't have to go to class only on important days.

The professor is great, and California history was surprisingly interesting. Highly recommend the class.

Dr. Lawler is always available for office hours and responds to emails quickly. He has great facilitators that help out with assignments. He gave 2 extra credit opportunities that are worth a lot of points. This class was very intense in reading and writing. He is a tough grader, but he does give you suggestions to improve.

Professor Lawler is incredibly funny: he's got a dry and sarcastic humor. His classes are less lecture-based and more like discussing the readings (mandatory), homework is light. It's a few annotations for a passage per week (which you don't have to read the whole thing) and two projects over the whole semester.

Pretty decent guy, he's not too bad at teaching his lectures, even though it may get boring sometimes. Annotations, 6 Historical Thinking assignments (slightly picky when grading these), 2 Exams (free response and you can create a cheat card), and a mapping project determine your grade. He provides discussion posts as extra credit. (10 points max)

Professor Lawler's HIST173 class is well-structured, with a reasonable workload. Annotations, historical thinking assignments, and exams make up the grading. unstuck study ai was a great study tool alongside the free textbook. Overall, a manageable and engaging course.

I liked him. Weekly readings & annotations, project & presentation, final essay. He lectures complex strings of thought on the weekly readings with little time for students to participate. I learned a lot and would take him again. Downside doesn't give much feedback in a "historical writing" sense, more so on content & group project SUCKED (optout)

Attendance isn't necessary but lectures are helpful towards understanding the assignments. Professor is very passionate about history with a lot to say, I think other people could find it boring or unnecessary how much he talked but it didn't bother me. Grading is tougher than I expected but the assignments were sparse and easy so I didn't mind

Professor Lawler does talk a lot, but class isn't mandatory unless it's for Historical thinking which is only 5 times the whole semester. The class grade is based off perusall discussions, Historical thinking questions, a midterm, and a final. Understanding the class material is simply and doesn't require much, but it can get boring.

easy enough class. weekly annotations and only two midterms. take him if u can
