He is enthusiastic about his subject however it is difficult to write down what he says for he talks so fast. He can write down 7 keywords on the board and then talk a whole lecture. Does not give you any review sheets at all. Test= 30 multiple choice questions ans an essay :/

Professor Dudlo lives in his element. His perspective of teaching is unique and innovative as he uses film and visuals to teach history. You are responsible for basic material, but he makes history fun by weaving a hundred years into a neat package. You will walk away with a unique perspective of history. A true historian.

If you are planning to take Dudlo, for history 1301 or 1302, get ready to sit an carefully listen and take notes of the key terms he is going to go over. Those key terms are important because they will be on the test. He doesn't care that you know the dates, as long as you know the events. He is a great guy, funny, and willing to work with you.

The class was designed so attendance wasn't mandatory, one could follow the syllabus and do just fine; however attending lectures really brought color to the history and documents we were studying. Sit in front, listen, take notes, and enjoy the liveliness he brings. Such a welcome change from 1301 where my professor managed to put people to sleep.

If you e-mail him, you probably wont get a response (he'll just say he never got it). He's very knowledgeable & knows his craft, I can tell you that!

Two words: STAY AWAY. Professor Dudlo's class was WAY more difficult than it needed to be. He assigns as many (or more) papers than the average English teacher. Take Professor Sears Mehling instead. She doesn't assign any papers (unless you need to do some extra credit) and everything on the tests are covered in her lectures. DON'T TAKE PROF. DUDLO

Got a B cz I missed an assignemnt. He is an easy grader. You have to take a bunch of quizzes, 2 PDAs which is a short paper and a discussion board. However, you have to do this 4 times, which to me, was a lot of work for one class. If you have work and other things going on in your life, do not take him. He also replies super late to emails

Take this class if you can take it seriously and can handle a lot of work. But if you are like me, and don't care about history and just want to get this class over with STAY AWAY. His workload is ridiculous. Yeah you could "not procrastinate" but then we wouldn't be honest with ourselves. Lectures are interesting, but not worth taking this class.
