I do not enjoy history what so ever but Professor Kaiser loves to lecture and I actually pay attention in his class. Such a nice guy too, I definitely recommend taking his courses.

Mr. Kaiser is awesome. He lectures every day and is really clear about what will be on the midterm and final exam which are the only tests you take. He is a nice guy and is helpful when you're confused or need help with a topic for the 3 short papers you write. He grades fair and gives you a guide to study before midterm and final. GREAT CLASS.

Great teacher. Helpful and makes class interesting. Lectures all class, but doesn't mind going off topic for a few minutes if it grabs the classes attention.

is an awesome teacher if you want an A in history take his class

Best professor I have ever had. Very interesting to listen to and doesn't give a massive amount of work.

Mr.Kaesir is one of the best instructor i had. Gives plenty of time to work on your paper. Take him if you hate history you will surely get an A :)

Mr. Kaiser is one of the most understanding people I've ever met. I have anxiety issues... and he let me retake exams due to panic attacks. He's REALLY passionate about what he's teaching, and he made me care about history. This is not an easy feat.

He is so nice and is very passionate about history. His lectures are not boring but I am constantly on my phone and he never says anything. He is a very easy grader and curves tests! If you need a history credit I would take him. It's an easy A as long as you study and do your assignments!

Just show up and listen during lecture I never took notes cause I just enjoyed focusing on listening, do your 2 or 3 short papers that are 2-3 pages he doesn't grade hard at all and the study guides are crystal clear for the midterm and exam which are the only tests you take second time taking him second A very helpful as well. Great guy.

Awesome teacher

Very funny and interesting lectures. Pay attention and you'll pass. I'm not into history, but I always looked forward to his class.

Mr. Kaiser is a great teacher. I never really opened my book all semester, I'd say dont even buy it! I just took detailed notes during lecture, that is where most of the test questions come from. Really no homework ever, and on tests he either gives you a study guide or lets you use a cheat sheet. Great overall, he makes it all very interesting

Class is primarily lecture, but the lectures are very interesting and can be very funny. Very easygoing dude, good class.

thanks to him I found history much more interesting . I highly recommend taking his class

Doesn't grade hard but takes a long time to grade. Late email responses. He is passionate about history. He is easy going. I would take his class again.

Kaiser is an excellent professor. I am interested in history, but my friend who doesn't like history even enjoyed the class. He is good at lecture, very interesting presentations and keeps topics relevant through modern examples and humor. Take this class for history!

Mr. Kaiser was a great history teacher! He knows his material and makes History class very interesting (: You only have one test during the whole semester (he even curves it!), and for the final you write a paper. The final wasn't that hard because he lets you use a "cheat sheet." He's funny and is always there for the student! I would take again!

I can't begin to describe how good Mr. Kaiser is. Honestly, he is one of the best, if not THE BEST history i've ever had. His lectures are straight forward. He explains everything in great details, he is very knowledgable in what he is talking about and is extremely nice. His tests are not difficult. If you do the study guides, you'll pass.

I liked this guy, but it's hard class to get an A. Super easy to get a B though. Don't be late often because he will eventually take off points and participation is a big deal. He will take off points if you don't talk in class. It's nice that there are only 2 test and 2 papers, you just can't screw up any because they each count for so much.

I loved his class and lectures, but his midterm and final were terrible for me. Mid term was multiple choice and confusing at times, and final was two essays. The final was so stressful trying to write two essays in the time frame. He was very funny and showed his passion for history.

Make sure you do your reading assignments, they're short. Kaiser gives great lectures and he makes history exciting again. The excitement that he has for the subject keeps one going. He only had 2 exams and 1 project. He uses BB but you will need the books the fill in the blanks. Great instructor!

Lectures were always interesting, Dr. Kaiser always tried to make them more interesting. When given reading assignments make sure to read them carefully as they will sometimes be brought up in the next classes lecture. HW /assignments outside of the class are not too bad, he's very reasonable with grading. Overall good class, good teacher.

He's an enthusiastic teacher. He is super understanding and flexible,but if you hardly participate and rarely show up to class then he is a lot less willing to work with you. Sometimes he does miss responding to e-mails, so always check back with him after or before class about whatever you contacted him about. Don't miss class, it only hurts you.

Kaiser's class isn't an easy A but def a B. He grades papers (2) fairly. Plan ahead of time on the big one. He was vague when it came to the assignments but I think that might actually help u. Gives x credit and read your documents! Can be a slow grader. Don't skip class cause he won't go over stuff. His lects are fun anyway. He loves to teach

Good professor, Nice guy. Not many assignments but the ones he gave carried a lot of weight. I would take his class again.

If you don't like writing papers, then Mr. Kaiser would not be the best instructor for you. We wrote one final paper which is 5 pages minimum. Also, we wrote another research paper which is 2 pages minimum. He is not a tough grader, but his grading policy is not clear at all. The final test was writing 2 essays in class as well.

This is an easy A class if you just do the few assignments and actually do well on them. Kaiser is an easy grader but good luck looking back at powerpoint, no info just bulleted points put online weeks later. Sit in the back and bring a laptop for sure, mainly a lecture heavy class with no outside work besides a major paper and midterm.

Awesome history teacher. Definitely the best there.

Dr. Kaiser was for sure one of my favorite teachers. He obviously really cares about history and is very engaged about his topic. Definitely take him if you get the chance.

Professor Kaiser is super nice! He loves to give quizzes on the readings that he assigns for homework but he also allows make-up quizzes if several people do poorly. The readings he assigns take maybe 20 minutes so you definitely won't have tons of homework for this class. I would definitely take him again, he made this class very interesting!

Dr. Kaiser is awesome, has a great sense of humor and you can tell he really loves teaching history. Tough but fair grader on the couple papers he assigns. Definitely have to study and he makes you work for it but if you do, a good grade is definitely attainable. You get what you work for in this class. Would take this class again!

I took online HIS 131 and it was pretty good. He makes you take an online quiz weekly (easy to find answers online) but then also makes you write a journal every week using primary sources he gives you. Anywhere from 400 word journals to 1000 word journals. His online was probs harder than real class but he graded pretty easily on the journals.

Dr Kaiser is a great lecturer, generous grader, and caring teacher. I like the way he explains things with illustrations and engages the class. Most people were very pleased with their grade. He also offers extra credit, make ups, and partial credit for late work. He is always willing to help, and talk to students. I'm so glad I took his class!

Great professor and interesting subject.

I have taken two of his classes (HIS 131 and HIS 132). I always enjoy going to class because his lectures are super interesting and fun! He makes history less boring. Take advantage of the extra credit he posts because he does not give a lot! Take his class if you want to have a couple of laughs and a professor that genuinely cares!!

Dr. Kaiser is an amazing professor! You can tell he loves what he is talking about and definitely knows his stuff. Every class is basically a lecture, with a few document analysis days thrown in. As long as you write the papers he assigns (2-3) and keep up with the online quizzes (super easy) you will be fine! Overall- awesome teacher!

Mr. Kaiser doesn't just teach history; he performs it as if he is on a stage. If you're open to learning history, he'll bring it to life for you. He's a really smart, quirky cat person. Extremely funny (not mean or sarcastic). Welcoming to everyone and expects students to support each other. Tough & fair; great feedback. Taking again....

You have to do the work to pass this class, it wasnt very hard work. Every week there are 2 online quizzes, but all the answers are found in textbook & you can keep answering questions until you get a 100%. Each week there is also a journal/discussion, but he grades fairly and theyre only 500 words. Only 2 tests, fairly easy but time consuming

This was my first online class and it was super easy as long as you did the work! It was an 8-week course and only involved 2-3 (20) questions quizzes and one journal a week. The journals were short (500-600 word min) but make sure you include everything and go over the word min if you want to get a perfect grade. Also received quick responses!

Dr. Kaiser is an excellent history teacher! He went out of his way on multiple occasions to set up online reviews for chapters and tests. He responds quickly and entirely to emails with amazing suggestions. Dr. Kaiser also gives great feedback after each assignment! Definitely take any history class with Dr. Kaiser.

Professor Kaiser is a great history professor. He is clear on his deadlines and offers his students many chances to do well in his class. If you mess up on one quiz, he has a follow up quiz for you to do better on. There is a lot of reading, but his lectures are well put together. I really enjoyed his humor and the way he tried to connect with us.

Dr. Kaiser is one of the best professors I have had while at Wake Tech. He does not give tests throughout the semester, there is less than 8 pop quizzes throughout the semester, and gives ample extra credit on the final and before finals. To make up for not giving any exams there is a 5 page paper you have to do, but very easy! Great professor!

Dr Kaiser is straight forward he tells you what he expects, outlines it for you and adheres to the outline. This class is easy for someone who is accustomed to following directions and completing assignments. If you complete the work you will get an A. Some weeks there is a lot of reading like any other college course.

I have taken Mr. Kaiser 3X and would take him 10X more! He's smart, knowledgeable, funny, quirky, sarcastic & interesting. EXPECTATIONS & ORGANIZATION: + (though sometimes forgets to post assignment when he says he will) GRADING: Fair, but not easy. ACCESSIBILITY: Great! Cares about you if you reach out. PARTICIPATION: Be there (&on time). Read.

Professor Kaiser is good at what he does! His lectures are solid and he always tries to add a little humor somewhere so you don't fall alsleep! You can tell that he loves history! He is always open to questions and overall is a really great professor. Work isn't too hard just take time to do it!!!0

Someone recommended me to Kaiser and I am SO glad I got into his class. This man is pretty funny and does an excellent job of staying engaged in the material he teaches. For 131, the textbook is online which is why I said there was no textbook. If you want to succeed in this class, you have to want to be successful. It's not an easy A but do-able

Kaiser is a very funny teacher. He always started class off with a moment of zen. He is very kind an understanding. He is easy to talk to and gives you multiple chances for extra credit. He doesn't set you up for failure.

Professor Kaiser was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and caring. Easiest class. You have 3 attempts for each quiz. There are 7 modules and one discussion for each module. Not a lot of work. Should be an easy A. Highly recommend!

weeks are pretty much in twos, quizzes every week, you're going to have to work for those- there are a good bit of writing assessments which I wouldn't mind but its difficult literature, really old and either broken English / legal terms. haven't taken the final exam yet but fingers crossed. you can def get a good grade as long as you give effort

Awesome professor!! His lectures are long, but interesting and funny. There aren't a lot of things that you get graded on, but if you put in the work you'll get full credit. Make sure you read the documents the night before class and have them printed out in case there's a quiz.

Super interesting guy, really cool stories if you're into history. 10/10

I thought He was a pretty good professor, although I found the discussion boards to be a little lengthy If you dug deep enough you got the grade that you desired.

Professor Kaiser is a great choice. Every two weeks, you take 2 quizes and 1 discussion board. If you do what he asks, then you should make a good grade. He enjoys posted memes on blackboard, so he's pretty funny. He's a great pick if you want to learn and receive a good grade. Take him!

One of the best professors I've had. He's by no means an easy A, but if you do the work and follow the instructions, you're golden, it just takes a good amount of effort. There is a lot of writing, but again, just follow the instructions. If you like history, this is the class for you, if you don't like history, you might have a hard time.

Dr. Kaiser is a lot of fun. His lectures can be lengthy at times, but you'll enjoy it, I promise! He is easy-going and relatable, and the assignments are straight-forward. As long as you follow the directions, you should have no problems whatsoever. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience.

I loved Dr. Kaisers class! Your grade in this class is definitely more project based than test based, which I really liked. A good chunk of your grade is making a 20 minute podcast on a subject of our choosing. He also offered lots of extra credit. I didnt even get an A on the final and got over a 100 in the class. Strongly recommend him!

I cannot express how much I enjoyed his class, there was lots of reading from a book that was a bit difficult to comprehend, but his lectures and humor are very fun. Discussions are never boring and the work in itself is easy to complete. I actively looked for another class of his to take because he's a great teacher

Obviously passionate about what he teaches, very nice and understanding. Great at teaching his material.

Mr Kaiser personally was a really kind understanding person, I turned in an assignment late and he was understanding enough not to take points off. There is a lot of reading and writing so start early on work. The class isnt hard at all its just a lot of work coming from someone who is lazy but still does their work.

You can tell Prof. Kaiser loves mythology and history. He recorded really good lectures for the online class and had Microsoft Teams meetings for those who had questions. He also just seemed like a chill, cool guy. I really didn't like the textbook he used, but all of the other information was detailed and very interesting. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Kaiser was a great teacher for this online class. He did give us small quizzes die each week but if you did the reading you'll do fine. He cares for his students and is passionate about what he is teaching.

He really cares and it's obvious to one as a student. Very good online teacher and he runs his course very well.

This has been one of my favorite classes, and I am not one for history. Prof Kaiser is incredibly well organized and runs his course very nicely. There are several papers, but if you actually read the required sources they are easy, though his expectations and grading feedback can sometimes be unclear. Either way, a solid professor, 10/10.

Dr. Kaiser is an awesome professor! He gives plenty of extra credit opportunities which makes the class easier to enjoy without stressing about grades. His lectures are fun to watch and he was easily accessible through Teams and email.

Professor Kaiser is an excellent choice. His class was not difficult and he made learning fun. Lot's of extra credit opportunities. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Kaiser was one of my favorite professors that I've ever had. I took his asynchronous class which made me a little nervous at first but he was very good about breaking down the material into chunks. If you need any help don't hesitate to email him or ask for feedback.

I had him in an asynchronous environment, he was very understanding when I would miss assignments and I would say that the work load isn't bad.

Just finished my final exam :), but Dr. Kaiser was an excellent professor! The classwork isn't too tedious and it's practically the same every week (textbook quizzes and discussion posts). I spent about 3-4 hours weekly on his work, which is pretty typical for a class. He is very nice and is willing to give clarification whenever you need it.

Prof. Kaiser is the best professor I've had at WTCC. I took this course online, and it was super easy. The textbook is online and free, quizzes are super easy, and there's a ton of extra credit. Discussion posts are lengthy but there's ample time to do them. Prof. Kaiser is a really funny dude, a history buff, and a great professor. 11/10 class.

Dr. Kaiser was one of the best professors I have had! He was funny, engaging, and gave students his full attention even through the online format. He had you write four 850-word essays which were the most difficult thing for me but if you read your sources, it was not too hard at all, especially over the eight weeks.

Kaiser was a great professor and the weekly quizzes were very easy to do with the free textbook he gives! There are 3 writing assignments for the class that are kind of long but nothing that you cant handle. I took this in the summer as an online class and did amazing so I'm sure in a normal semester it would be even better.

Dr. Kaiser was an absolute joy! He is very clear through his instructions and weekly videos providing extra instruction on what to expect for the week. The grading criteria is super clear, and following it will lead you to an A. Kaiser lays out the modules in a way that does not induce stress or fast deadlines. Overall, I loved his class.

Professor Kaiser is a great teacher. You will do great in the class if you do your work and read the material he tells you to read. His course is very well organized, and I always knew what I had to do. I had him in my first semester in college and am very happy with the experience I had with Professor Kaiser.

He was a great professor, I would definitely take another one of his classes. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities. I found his class pretty easy, his quizzes come STRAIGHT from the text book! Overall a great class and a good experience.

Professor Kaiser is awesome! Such a funny guy even in just an online environment. Weekly work is usually just a quiz and every two weeks a writing assignment (give yourself ample time they are kinda long and can be kinda difficult). Quizzes are open book and come straight from the textbook.

I really enjoyed his class and I'll be honest- History is not my best or favorite subject. He wants his students to succeed and he's pretty funny! We had weekly quizzes and journal writing assignments every two weeks but plenty of time to work on them which is much appreciated for someone that works a full time job. I would definitely recommend.

Good professor. Took this class online and I got an A without reading the textbook. Quizzes are easy if you search them up but discussion boards took a while. You get 2 weeks to do a 800-1000 word discussion post which isn't bad but he grades semi-hardly on those. I procrastinated till the last day and still got an A so not a bad class.

Professor Kaiser is a very good professor, however, if papers are not your strong point, I recommend going elsewhere. You can expect a paper every 1-2 weeks, and some quizzes in between. The paper's vary in length, and are in a discussion format. Honestly the course is an easy A, I completed an extra credit in the first week, and I stayed over 100%

Easily the best professor for American History 1. He's funny, caring, and best of all, his class is very straight forward. You'd genuinely have to be an idiot to get a grade lower than an A in the class. He makes his expectations VERY clear, and if you follow them well, he'll grade accordingly. I took the class in person and had a great experience.

I took this class online during the summer and it was easy. I found the textbook boring but the assignments are interesting. I actually enjoyed doing a couple of them. Mr. Kaiser also provides plenty of extra credit opportunities and the quizzes are open book. There are 4 discussion post, which required time and effort but are not hard.

Lots of homework, mostly essays. 600+ word discussion posts can get a bit dull, but he does his best to keep the prompts interesting. If you put effort into the assignments and take advantage of the extra credit opportunities, your grade will be just fine.

I took his summer class and I 100% recommend. He was very straightforward and his timeline for turning things in were extremely reasonable. a lot of reading involved but all the assignments were open book. he also gave accessible and free reading materials throughout the course. He had 3 long discussion post but honestly they weren't too difficult.

Professor Kaiser was always very energetic in class. He connects with students. His class is lecture-heavy but easy. He spends the whole class doing notes and then has quizzes open online. He gives the whole semester to do the quizzes so there is no rush to finish them

He is an excellent teacher! He is very full of energy and clearly passionate about what he is teaching. He always tries to make us all laugh. On the topic of assignments, he doesn't grade harshly. The class is relatively an easy A.

Professor Kaiser is the best professor I have had at WTCC so far. The class consists of weekly quizzes which are fairly easy. And discussion posts which are due every 2-3 weeks, and sometimes require responses to classmates. He offers many extra credit opportunities and is very understanding with you. He also is very clear with his grading.

Professor Kaiser is kind, interesting, and passionate about mythology. Some of the content is difficult to understand and it is up to you to interpret it properly. Otherwise, though, the material and interesting and educative. You will need your textbook for this class.

He was super sweet. It took a while to get grades back, but he was super lenient on grades. Super understanding and always cracked jokes when he could.

One of the best classes and best professors I've had at this school. If you're on the fence about taking a class with Dr. Kaiser, just do it. You won't regret it. Super easy-going guy and all of the assignments are straight forward and easy to do. I never had to worry about this class and I learned a lot of interesting stuff!

Professor Kaiser was awesome!! There are chapter quizzes and discussions that are somewhat long but not super difficult. Everything comes out of the textbook, so just read it, and you'll do great. His class was organized and super easy. More than that, he's a kind grader and doesn't take off unnecessary points. There is extra credit if you need it!

I can understand why there are mixed reviews for Prof. Kaiser, but we can't judge the prof. based on not liking history. Any history student will be writing essays I am sure. Prof. Kaiser was a strict but fair grader. The only problem I had was that his answer to my question via email was not clear. His answer repeated what the instructions said.

Professor Kaiser is amazing! There's a lot of reading but quizzes are open-book and not hard at all. Written assignments aren't too hard, you just have to make sure you answer all the questions in the prompt. He gives a few extra credit opportunities. Overall great class and professor, I'd recommend Prof. Kaiser if you need HIS 131 or any other HIS

I LOVED Professor Kaiser's class. I took everything online in a mini-mester which was honestly a great decision. Typically, there was a quiz and a large writing assignment every week that you had to do. I did not struggle with the quizzes but please make sure you read ALL of the instructions and the rubrics for the written assignments!

Professor Kaiser's HIS131 class is well-structured and engaging. The textbook is essential, but the weekly quizzes and discussions are manageable. Unstuckstudy proved helpful for exam prep. Overall, an enjoyable course with a fair grading system.

Professor Kaiser had a personality that could light up a whole room. He loved his job and truly cared for the success of his students' endeavors. Plus, the textbook was completely free! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professor who has a great personality and who genuinely cares for the well-being and success of his students.

Great professor, this 8-week Summer course was organized into two quizzes/week based on a digital textbook (very easy) and a writing assignment every two weeks. The writing assignments required a bit of reading and had a specific rubric, but were manageable with 2 weeks to complete them + he is a lenient but fair grader + extra credit opportunities

The class was really fun and laid back. It was pretty much just about showing up, and you had the whole semester to turn in your assignments. There was only one project, split into two parts, and a lot of group discussions. Plus, he offered extra credit, which was a nice bonus!

Professor John Kaiser is a laid-back and easygoing teacher which makes his American History class less stressful. He explains the material clearly does not give much hard work and is very lenient with grading and deadlines.

Definitely a difficult class on it's own, but Prof. Kaiser made it great! While lectures are pretty long, he's got a great way of explaining everything and can be very funny. Very, very interesting lecture material. Very informative, and it's great how much is covered in class! Would've loved to take in person.

Highly recommend. He was very funny and passionate about history. The final exam is a bit tough but doable

Super easy and you learn a lot. Mr.Kaiser really helped me when I was confused. Great Professor

Great semester!

You definitely spend time on his class outside of in person. In person is mostly lecture or looking at documents and trying to understand them. there is one big project but it is actually kind of fun and relatively easy. He was very helpful!

Very easy and relaxed professor. You get 3-6 quizzes and one large writing assignment every two weeks (until the course ends) Also, there a lot of reading is necessary to complete the quizzes, so be diligent on doing them! Also, follow the rubric CAREFULLY for the large writing assignments, as they effect your grade significantly.

Prof Kaiser's HIS131 class was super light-hearted and fun. The work itself is easy it just requires a TON of reading but he provides all the resources you'd need for all of the assignments. Throughout the course there will also be many oppurtunities for extra credit which is especially great near the end. 10/10 would def take again!
