Prof. Bailey is charismatic who happens to say "actually" a lot. Classes consist of ppts with key points & pictures so it's mainly jotting down notes. There are dq's due every Sunday and aren't difficult, as for exams they consist of about 25 mult choice with lockdown browser. I would suggest study groups & quizlets to pass, overall great professor

BEST CLASS EVER. Just write down everything on his powerpoints, which isn't much, and you've basically got the test. He has weekly discussion posts that are super easy (made 100s on all of them). He really loves history and has so many cool stories to tell. I would definitely take him again if I had the chance. 10/10

K. Bailey was a great professor, he does not post his lecture slides so you will need to go to class to get proper notes. He graded mainly on 3 tests, discussion posts, and crossword puzzles associated with that week's topics. He is very passionate about what he teaches so he makes it easy to want to learn.

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Bailey makes lessons so interesting and made me care about history a lot more. Three tests over a LOT of terms, but if you study (quizlet's helped!) you will make A's. Weekly crosswords and discussions were not hard, just took a little time. He is brilliant with history and everything is so engrossing! Pop quizzes for attendance.

Good professor for the most part, but he never allowed remakes for anything, so don't miss any assignments because he makes it hard for you to recover. The excuse he uses is that "it's just the way his gradebook is set up." He doesn't post PowerPoints so try not to miss any classes. He could be more lenient knowing that it's a gen ed class.
