If you don't mind essay tests, Schulze is really good. I enjoyed his lectures, liked the structure of the class, and learned a lot. His specialty is Native Americans and the American West, so you learn extra about these topics. Your entire grade is based on three essay quizzes and 3 essay exams. The exams are based mostly on lecture notes.

Boring class. Doesn't like to use a formal textbook--he uses some outside reading books, but you can't get the information unless you show up to his boring lectures. He docks points if you try to learn from the internet.

Best history class I've ever taken! I like his teaching style a lot. Reading the assigned books is extremely important to getting an A & coming to class as well. Final grade is based off of 3 exams & 3 quizzes. He gives you quiz questions before & 2 possible exam questions to study. 1 essay chosen at random on exam day. Grading really depends on TA

Good teacher. Great exam prep. If you go to class, listen to the lecturer, and study the exam prep, you cannot get a bad grade in this course. His TA last semester, Ariana, thought she was already a tenured professor, and does most of the grading - still managed an 'A' though. I like his text/reading selections a lot - interesting and relevant.

gives essay tests and short answer quizzes which aren't too difficult as long as you study.

Not a bad history teacher - he knows his material. I wouldn't say it's an easy class, but if you read the books and pay attention now and then in class, you should do fine. The essay prompts are given a class or two before the exam, so you have plenty of time to draft your essay if you wish. An A can be achieved with a decent bit of effort.

I agree with all the positive comments about him, but a couple things you should know: TAs do most of the grading, so how hard the tests are depends partially on who the TA is for the semester. Also, he just started taking attendance for a grade in Spring 08.

Dr. Schulze is a really great professor, very intelligent and knowledgable about his specific topics. Definately recommend his classes.

Not a bad teacher, the course is dry but over all he's an okay teacher. He tells you want you need to know and do before an exam or quiz so everything is crystal clear and you know what to expect and study for! Which makes his class pretty awesome!

Reckon he's more interesting than most history professors

I took him for 1301 & 1302. It's not your typical history class as he likes to focus on Native American perspectives as well as colonial/American views. Should be an easy A if you go to class, take notes, do the readings, and prepare for quizzes and exams beforehand. Grading depends on TA. Enjoyed 1301 more than 1302.

I'm taking his 830 class and it's packed...but his lectures are pretty much what he assigns you to read. Although you must go to class in order to pass this class. I don't recommend you coming late because his lectures take up all of the time. He is a very good teacher although will get mad when no one answers his questions...just be sure to read!

He's a really good professor. You actually don't have to read the book, everything you need to know for tests are covered in his lectures. Quiz prep needs to be prepared from the book. The grading comes from TA, which i think grades unfairly. TAKE HIM, ITS INTERESTING, I'VE NEVER FALLEN ASLEEP :)

Amazing teacher. Truly enjoyed discussing with him in and outside of class.

Your grade in the class depends greatly on your TA. I luckily had a great TA in the class so my grade did not suffer. Outside reading is important for quizzes and discussion, but class lecture material is what you will see on the tests. Attendance is mandatory and should be because you can't pass unless you come to class and hear the lectures.

even though history can be very boring, his lectures were interesting. overall he was a great prof! should attend all classes and take notes, attendance taken too. but overall if you can skim read and bs in essays, you'll get an easy A! tests were MC and essay format. would recommend sharing the textbooks (esp if you can BS well!)

I had him for history 1301 and 1302, he is such a good professor, very friendly!He also makes his lectures very interesting. the class itself is very easy and does not require much outside work.. i made an A in both..

I liked Hist 1301 better. Schulze was ok, a bit monotone but he knows his stuff. Sometimes lets you out of class early :) He gives you hints of IDs for the quizzes/exams, which are helpful. Grading depends greatly on the TA tho, and I find that unfair but study and you should be ok.

had him for both hist 1301 and 1302 and wow he was seriously one of the best teachers i have ever had! would recommend him

Interesting class. You must show up & do all the readings. The TA does all the grading, but I had a great (hot, too) TA.

he is an okay teacher... grading depends mainly on ta's.. if you are good at writing then i would recommend him if not I highly wouldn't recommend him then..just be prepared for boring lectures and a ton of reading.. this class is not only cheaper in a community college but also easier

Dr. Schulze was an interesting lecturer. His doctoral work was done in the American Southwest/Indian cultures so his lectures are skewed towards that viewpoint. His tests were all essay/short answer. He gave you the essay questions in advance. He is picky about how the essays are written so it is important to write well.

Freshman year, had NO idea who I picked for my 1st hist class but he was it. Grading depends on TA bc for the 2nd class I didnt get as good a grade as I thought while I made a much better grade for the 1st one. His lectures werent necessarily the most interesting/fun but they were clear.

Take Him! The day-to-day reading is not too overwhelming. He is clear about what he wants in his essays and papers. He is a fair grader and the class itself is not overbearing on your study-time. Take him!

This teacher is amazing. You know exactly what to prepare for on his test and quizzes.

I actually had him for HIST1301 and 1302. He is a damn good teacher. Take him; He is a simple, no surprises kind of guy. You always know exactly what to prepare for, and he is clear, helpful and easy to understand. Just read and put in the work for the tests and quizzes and I guarantee you will get an A.

You will love this class if you like history. You will do well whether or not you like history, just pay attention and skim the chapters. This is a freshman class, if you put it a few hours of studying a week and get less than a B, maybe college isn't for you o_0

Had him for 1301 and 1302. He is a great professor. Focuses a lot on Indian relations, which is very interesting. He doesn't grade any of the papers or tests though, that is all the TA. Very good and interesting teacher. (:

He has a charm to him and he's funny. I don't like history, but I like his history class!

This is my favorite teacher out of all of my schooling! He is awesome, I hated history but Dr. Schultze makes it so interesting. Most enjoyable class ever, you have to take notes the whole time but its so simple because he is easy to listen to. Loved that class :)

I took both Histories from him and recommend this professor! I would take again! He is soft-spoken and can be a bit monotonous at times but he knows his stuff and I usually don't like American history but he makes it tolerable. The only bad part was that the TA grades your tests, not him. I didn't mind the reading at all. Reasonable and good guy!

Loved the class and professor. He writes the terms for the exam on the board prior to class. You only need to note these terms to do well. He gives you the possible essay prompts to the exam a week ahead. The class before exams he goes over what terms connect with which essay possibilities. Regurgitate what he says and you are golden.

This is not an easy course. It involves a lot of writing and reading 4-5 books (cover to cover) a semester. However, the TA's are usually very helpful. Teacher is VERY condescending to students. I made an A in this class, but would not take this teacher again.

Good looking. Tests and quizzes are essays. Takes attendance. Super clear and actually makes history interesting. If you simply do what he says and study a moderate amount you will get an A. TA doesn't grade too hard. You actually need to get the textbooks.

Pretty decent teacher; i really wouldn't mind having him again. He's really clear on what he wants for quizzes and exams - lectures well. Essay topics are given before the exams.

great teacher. very clear about what he wants and what to present in essays. pretty hard grading on tests. overall great prof.

The class itself is easy, however grading is really based off of how hard your TA grades. The guy is kind of pompous. Easy class but a lot of work.

Grading can be either bad depending on your TA. All testes are essay form. The guy is pretty pompous but the class pretty easy with a bunch of work.

Loved this class! Attendance is mandatory, but he is a great lecturer and it's very easy to take notes from him. Exams/quizzes are essay based, but he gives you the questions beforehand and is willing to critique your sample answers during office hours if needed. The TA does all of the grading, but all assignments/assessments are straight-forward.

From day 1, Schulze lays out his expectations and pulls no punches. The class itself is quite engaging, as his lectures are interesting and informative. He's also hilarious, to boot. Prior to every exam and quiz, Schulze tells you what key terms and concepts he is looking for. If you apply yourself and get feedback, you'll make an A no problem.

Essay tests are primarily lecture-based, so do not skip! I didn't use the main textbook and did fine. However the other books you will need to buy and actually READ to write an essay and for one or two quizzes! Not super hard, not super easy. Do-able, and cool professor!

His lectures are informative and he likes to keep things light-hearted. His style is also bombin'. Taking him again for HIST 1302 'cause I enjoyed his lectures so much. I didn't really read the textbook but was able to make high B'slow A's. He goes over topics you need to know for exams and also discusses what he wants on the essays.

If you show up to class, study and listen you will pass. I did not buy the text book and relied on hist lectures for tests and I got an A. He is, however, a real stickler for cell phones and cannot use your laptop in class. I think this is just so you will listen because his exams are straight from the lectures.

I love this guy, his teaching styles make me actually interested in history rather than falling asleep like in most history classes. He shows no bias towards any of the material he covers and he is always answering questions to the best of his ability. He doesn't assign many assignments so you must do well on the ones he does give.

No electronics in class, that includes cell phones, laptops, iPads, etc. He's a great professor, but if you don't come to class you won't pass. Tests and quizzes are based off the reading and the lectures in class. He gives out the prompts ahead of time so you can prepare for the tests and quizzes.

Schulze mainly just lectures with an occasional break in between with video clips. I would say he's alright, but grading is up to the TA. The textbook isn't really necessary, but he also assigns readings for the quizzes which you need to read. Most of his exams and quizzes are essay based, so be ready for a lot of writing.

I didn't like history in high school, but I enjoyed this class, especially his dry humor. He speaks kind of fast during lectures, but he basically gives you the prompt(s) for examsquizzes. Grading is up to the TA, but you can definitely do well if you attend class, take good notes, and read the novels. Don't try to use electronics in class though.

I really loved this class. His lectures were basic, but pretty clear and interesting. I thought he was pretty funny too. Most of the papers are over books you have to read, so get used to reading a lot in a short amount of time. I actually thought the books were interesting though. My TA's grading was easy, and our SI leader was always available.

Interesting and funny professor. I enjoyed the lectures, exams are fair. Grades are based on exams and one paper.

Schulze is a pretty normal history prof. If you go to lecture, take decent notes, read the text when you're unsure about something - you'll generally do well. 2 out of 3 exams are essay, & gives you prompts beforehand. Third exam is MC and very easy. TA grades all, so go to them when you feel you are struggling! Doesn't allow sleepingfoodphones!

Your performance is completely dependent on the TA. Our section had a pretty strict TA, so grades were not good. This class only has 5-6 assignments total. The in-class essays are timed, and you can not use notes at all. If you do not want too much HW, and have strong-writing skills, you should be able to pull around the A-B range.

Pretty good class overall. No food, sleeping, or electronics (even for note taking) allowed. He will call you out if he sees such. No ppt notes in lecture, only ppt images of various people/events. So you have to listen to him closely. Film clips used every now and again. All prompts for essays passed out ahead of time. Grading dependent on TA.

Great teacher, really knows stuff his stuff. Doesn't hand out 20 terms per class, and ties important events/concepts together instead of explaining them separately. Textbook not necessary, but does hand out paper prompts for which you'll need to at least skim the books. Exams aren't too hard, and the 2 short paper assignments are fairly easy.

Great teacher, great lectures. Assignments are time-consuming but pretty easy.

Dr. Schulze is a great professor and makes history very interesting. He is always willing to help during office hours and expects you to read and to be ready for class participation. Attendance points are taken.

If you actually do the readings, then you are solid. If you don't, you can still get by.

Amazing lecturer. Makes it clear what you need to pay attention to in class and whats essential for exams. Does review of the previous class on the next class day. Read the books he assigns, textbook not as necessary

This class wasn't too bad but I'm not a fan of the extraneous reading assigned. He assigned three books all of which you have to read because the quizzes and tests are free response despite a few MC. Although his lectures and his information is clear and concise, I found myself stressing about a class I don't need besides for core credit.

Its a great class to take! Dr Schulze its a great lecturer and makes history very interesting! I would like to take another class with him!

Professor Schulze is a great professor. Expect writing assignments and readings.

Overall, I enjoyed Schulze's lectures. He is funny at times, and he makes learning history easy and enjoyable. There is a textbook, which can be helpful if you miss lectures. Otherwise, you will only need lecture notes for tests. Tests are mostly essay based, and he gives you key terms and the essay prompt beforehand. You also have to read books.

Pay attention in class because the lecture is best way to get notes. He expects you to have read the assigned reading beforehand. If you miss a class, don't bother asking him what you missed because its on the syllabus, and that's exactly what he will tell you. He is not afraid to kick people out of class for falling asleep or eating, so beware.

I actually really enjoyed Professor Schulze class and went out of my way to take him again for my 2nd history credit. His class honestly isn't hard if you take notes during the lecture and have half a brain. I didn't even bother buying the textbook and was fine on exams. He will call you tf out for cell phones so just don't use it during class.

His class is what you expect college to be like. Took this my very 1st semester, and it was rigorous, to say the least. Lots of reading + papers to write +quizzes to take, and sometimes it's overwhelming. But his lectures are great, and though we all know this history he brings something new to it. Learn what the TA likes cuz that's who's grading

The lectures are super interesting, he is a good History teacher. But when it comes to grades and assignments better get to know the grading style of the TA as he is a tough grader. But mostly if you listen to lectures and take good notes, you wont need the textbook at all.

Despite the negative reviews that are on his page Dr. Schulze is a great professor. You actually learn in his class and he makes the lectures interesting. In terms of grades, watch out for the TAs. Compared to my other classes this class is pretty easy, the only thing I stressed about was the paper. I never read the textbook, just pay attention

Dr. Schulze is a solid history professor making a lot of sections interesting to learn about. Be ready to read and write. There are 3 books outside the text book that are quizzed on. Two of the exams are essay and multiple choice, final exam is multiple choice. One book you will write a paper on. You are given topics prior though.

Professor Schulze is an interesting and entertaining lecturer, which is good because Hist 1302 was VERY lecture heavy. The tests were somewhat difficult, as the TA was not always clear about what he was looking for on the essay. Very informative class in the end. Lots of reading, lots of writing.

You don't need to buy the History book if you are good at taking notes on his lecture. He has three quizzes- two over Jim Crow, and one over the book about the immigrants. They are writing quizzes, and you need to read the book, or at least skim. The exams are really easy- multiple choice and one essay. Take notes on lecture on the main pointspass

love love love this professor! i passed with an A. he only tests on the terms on the board, make sure you take notes on those. dont need to read the book if you do. only thing to read are the books, but that's the only challenge. taken him for both history classes.

Awesome professor! taking him again next semester!

He's a typical college professor! I saw some reviews on here that were negative. He presents you with the information through lectures. His slides don't have text on them bc no one would listen in class or even show up. Tip: Stop signing up for classes that you think are gonna be easy. If you put in the time for this class, you'll do great!

He is an amazing professor and has really interesting lectures. He grades kinda hard but overall hes good.

Great professor, takes the job seriously and passionate about his topic

I liked Dr. Schulze so much that I took him for both HIST1301 and HIST1302. He is a great lecturer and makes concepts and his expectations for the class very clear. He is very strict about his no-phone, no-sleep, and no-food policy and will stop class to call people out but other than that, a really solid professor. I really recommend him!!

really good history prof, makes it interesting and easy to follow. ta grades hard. tests are pretty easy as long as you study notes. doesn't put up powerpoints but tells you the key words you need to know from the lecture.

His lectures are great, and he points out what's important to remember for tests. There's a good chunk of reading to do. We read 3 decent sized books over the semester. The textbook isn't a required read, but it helps sometimes. Be sure you don't eat, sleep, or use your phone in class, very strict about that.

Dr. Schulze is a fantastic lecturer and has a very elegant way of conveying the material. He does expect a lot of students for the essay, but he spends the entire class before the exams going over what he is looking for on the exams and as long as you follow that, getting A isn't hard. Overall, I feel like I learned a lot from this course.

The professor himself is good. I enjoyed his class and he was very informative and passionate about American history. I enjoyed his attitude and the way he taught his class. The TAs grading were weird. They grade not by the content you write on paper, but because you didn't use specific words. I like the teacher, but with his TAs, I would not.

If you want a to take a class that requires no effort, Schulze is not your guy. Schulze expects a good work ethic of a college student. His exams and quizzes are easy if you study. He gives you the prompts ahead of time. Lectures are interesting and he teaches in a different perspective. Get to know how your TA grades. TA does grade hard and weird

He is a pretty good professor, likes to talk a lot, and tells random little facts that have nothing to do with the test. Tests are easy so as long as you search up the terms before the test you should be fine. It's obvious he is very passionate about his subject and I really like him because of that.

He is my favorite professor for both HIST 1301 and HIST 1302. You don't need to read a textbook, test info is all included in the lectures. You will need to read a couple of books, and then have quizzes over them. Jeffrey will talk about the prompts way in advance so you definitely would have time to read and prepare. Take him, you won't regret it

a gen ed history class with a paper in it. his deadlines were odd, but he worked with students to make them reasonable. an excellent lecturer who covered the content and some interesting historical detours. you just have to write 1 paper, its not too bad.

Not great, but definitely not bad. His main con is that he talks extremely fast and doesnt allow laptops in his lectures. I recommend exchanging notes with your peers so you don't miss anything. You read 3 books, they arent bad and u only read 100pgs each. 3 exams, 3 quizzes, 1 essay. He tells you the exact terms and prompts a few days before

Excellent choice! He makes you read books in order to answer quiz questions, and it's clear he is passionate about history and will make you work for your grade. As long as you put in the work, you can ace his class.

Unless you really like to write history papers, youre better off not taking Schulzes class if you can avoid it. Otherwise, his class isnt all that bad, he does, every now and then show a historical movie or a clip of one, just to spice things up. His list of key terms does come in quite handy, but to succeed, you MUST read the assigned books!

He grades tough and there were few assignments (4 quizzes and exams and a couple papers, I believe). However, he is very knowledgeable about Native American history, and he is a skilled lecturer. He also uses media well, keeping a good balance of video and regular lecture. Despite how difficult I found it, it was a good class.

Professor Schulze is an effective lecturer that provides direct exam answers in his lectures, all you have to do is listen. I highly recommend writing down the key terms and paying special attention to those terms as Schulze will state, almost word-for-word, the exam question during his lecture. Grab the textbook, there are terms in there, too.

He is fair. Makes the lectures interesting as well. I think the assignment details are obvious, but if you're not exposed to much history based writing practices, you may struggle.

Professor Schulze was a really good professor, his lectures were clear and very straightforward. His exams were not that bad, if you pay attention to the lectures then the exams should be pretty easy. There was a lot of reading and there are corresponding quizzes and papers but he gives the prompts ahead of time so you have enough time to prepare

Super easygoing guy. Lectures are straightforward, interesting and also entertaining sometimes. Show up, do your work, and you'll be golden. Great professor :)

Easy class if you take good notes.

Professor Schulze is a professor that deserves 5 points. Sure, he might be a monotone professor, but as long as you take notes that are on the lecture (and skim through the textbooks), you will be guaranteed an easy A. Only downside is when TAs grade your written quiz and essay, as they can be biased and unfair in their grading.

Proff's lectures are very good. We have had to read long two books so far. If you put in the work on ur quizzes, u will do well. However, some of my classmates who don't put in the work or cheat end up with a low grade or zero. The students who left bad ratings prbly got caught. The discord is helpful, but the messages get leaked to the prof.

He knows people are just in the lower level history classes for their core so he doesn't take the class too seriously. Super laid back and makes the material interesting enough. Took him for honors and all it did was add an extra book report to his normal history class. Overall super easy, only a couple papers and online exams.

Professor Schulze is a great guy. His lectures were pretty interesting. However, this class was horrid simply because all the grading is done by the TAs. Assignments are based off last names. If you get the bad TA like I did, good luck. Many complained about the same TA. The TA graded way too harsh and made this class so stressful.

Overall, he is an amazing professor! My only advice is to go to lectures. He goes over the key terms that you need to know for exams, and the answers for them are nearly word-for-word. Though the syllabus says it, the textbooks are not mandatory if you attend class. I was able to get through this class with an A without having to read it.

Tests were easiest part since it's online+at home, so you're allowed to use eLearning/Google. I never actually had to study. The papers (write a 5-page essay on a book) are the most time-consuming part of the course, there are 2 total. Had an all-nighter cause I procrastinated. He does require that you don't use laptops in class.

Super easy class. Got A's on papers without even reading the books and got A's on exams without reading textbook or attending lectures. Exams online. TA's can be difficult graders, just write quality essays (basically just yap). Prof Schulze is actually passionate about the subject which makes lectures fine. Short lectures (40 mins).

The class was easy, but he doesn't allow you to take notes on your laptop. The slides aren't uploaded and don't have any actual text material on them, just pictures. You are forced to attend a TA lecture once a week and that counts towards attendance. Quizzes are over books, one essay over a book, and tests are 25 questions in 30 minutes.

Class was super easy with minimal effort! Never got below a 96 on any exam/paper. Never attended virtual lectures or read any books the papers were on and still got A+. DO NOT take Ang Li as your TA. They gave Cs while the other 2 TAs gave As. TAs grade papers. Other classmates regretted having Ang Li as their TA. I took this class over the summer.

It's clear that he's very informed and passionate about the subject. He doesn't allow for laptops during lectures so you have to hand-write your notes. He doesn't post his lectures online either so to learn the content you have to attend the lecture or read the textbook. Grading done by TAs, so hit or miss. Didn't really need the textbook though.

Lectures are decent, but grading can be harsh depending on your TA. Staying on top of readings and using unstuck AI for exam prep really helped me succeed in this class.

It is super lecture heavy, but secondary lectures help to get a grasp on the subject, and as long as you take notes and review before the tests you will be fine. There are a couple of papers to write, but they weren't long and the material was easy to access and comprehend through research and the books.

All electronic devices are prohibited in his class even for taking notes and he does not provide any materials like his notes to study for quizzes and exams. You have to rely on what you were able to get from him in the classroom and the books.

The only professor whose lectures I don't fall asleep to, ties in Native American perspectives you don't typically hear about. Gives the relevant vocab terms for each lecture, so just focus on those and you'll be fine on the exams (which were super easy, straight MCQ vocab). Papers are graded very leniently, the no tech rule isn't a big deal imo.

His class was so easy! His lectures were easy to follow along with, and his exams weren't that hard. There's quite a bit of reading involved but nothing too crazy.

I want to say I loved this professor, the lectures were great and I loved everything that was taught. However, I feel that most people will not, he is super lecture heavy and will not allow computers or online notes taking. If you do not like these requirements or if you don't like the actual material I would not recommend him.
