This teacher is so funny. If you have to take History take his class. You'll learn a lot and get an easy A. Plus you'll have so much fun. I wish all my teachers were like Prof. Dodge!!!!! (^_^)

doesn't take attendance, funny, easy class

Really easy class. Isn't too much trouble to pass. Several group quizzes which made it even easier. Doesn't like tests (a good thing!) Kinda funny professor but odd at times.

Man, this guy is so funny. He's so jolly, and friendly. He does lecture quite a bit, but he doesn't like to grade tests so I only took one essay exam when we were supposed to have 2. But that was a good thing because I was getting an A in the class

a VERY INTERESTING CLASS .i RECOMMEND IT ..ONE of the open minded ppl.easy to pass his class ,easy to get an A (am a 3.8 student)

He is funny. He does not take note on the boad. It's kind of hard to follow in the beginning. He is very informative.

very cool teach!

AWESOME TEACHER! He jokes a lot and still happens to convey all the information so that u learn much about history. PCC needs to hire more teachers like him and not those that can't teach info. very well (all he gives is a midterm, term paper, & final)

I love this man, he may not do anything, but you can tell he really knows his stuff.

Dodge is a funny man! His work is so easy I never read the book I just went to two museums wrote my essays on my experience and got an A. His midterm and final are easy questions that you can get from your notes! Homework coloring maps! Coloring okay!!!

All rite, i must admit he is a funny man, no doubt. But his lectures simply sucks. He just talk all the way while the students are doing their own things. (sleeping, day-dreaming) If he can change his teaching methods, i think he will be great. ^_^

Dodge is a sweet man who knows his history, although he may drift off sometimes he means well! You can learn ALOT if you set your mind to it, take his class if you want an understanding teacher who will cut you slack cause you're lazy.

Great Teacher! Very funny! Made History intresting and humorous. He let us form opinions of historical events. I recommend him for any History Class.

Nice guy, Good class, but full of students not interested in history. His tests are difficult but he grades on a MAJOR curve, an F is usually turned into an A.Alot of xtra credit and several field trips. Do the homework and classwork and dont worry about reading the book. just study the notes.easy A

History may not be a fun subject to learn for most people, but the way Dodge retells history makes you want to learn more. May look and act intimidating @ first, but don't let that fool you. Completely sarcastic at times, but definitely a funny New Zealander. Tip: Write ESSAYS for midterm/final.

Dodge is a very very good professor. His assignments are challenging yet not hard. He goes the extra mile to ensure you pass his class, and also has frequent movies shown during class. He's highly recommended if you want the same teacher for all your history classes.

Thank god I am at CSUF now! Anyway, this dude is - funny,boring,lazy,horny and cracks some dumb ass funny jokes. Oh and he eats ding dongs in front of everyone! Ask him about teaching naked history! PCC SUCKS!!!!

Good teacher, cracks jokes to make history more interesting. Is understanding about life getting in the way and will give extra time. I don't know where some of these negative comments are coming from.

Nicest teacher in the world.Fair grading system.At least better than that psycho Zarate who is insane.Dodge will give you a nice surprise take him. Relaxed and easy going. Just bring your cup of starbucks to stay awake.

comments listed are unfair he is a very interesting professor but make sure you show up he loves to drop people.

Funny and entertaining.Makes going to classs a breeze.His tests are ok. But this is college ok.I recommend him over Zarate who is arrogant, irritating and an obnoxious dwarf.Prof.Dodge is a better choice.At least he is not a dictator but an easy going teacher who gives you a pleasant learning enviroment which makes it easier to learn. Take Him.

If u are a history major, take his courses.Teaches from a "made for history majors" perspective.U will learn a lot. He also isnt a ethnic hating teacher like Zarate (his hate for white people is very clear). He is Funny and does not teach with an AGENDA as Zarate does. He gives U Info n lets U decide. Dodge rules Zarate Sucks.

AHAHAHAH i've never got an easier "A" in my life! take history of california (history8). all we do is go on field trips once a week on friday and write a one page, double spaced essay about the place we went to. AND THATS IT. NO JOKE!!! I HAVE 105%!! it's transferrable under IGETC; best history class i've ever taken, it's so chill. GG

I thought he was kind of hard. You have to study on your own a lot. He doesn't give much extra credit. You are definitely going to have to read on your own a lot if you want an A on the tests. He's a pretty cool guy, though.

He is a super funny guy...always made everyone laugh. He knows a lot about history and makes it fun. I recommend you to take him...easy A if u study and turn everything in on time. You could get a C if u dont do well on tests and turn in work late...so bottom line...he's pretty easy!

He's a very good teacher. He's very informative and gives an entertaining lecture. You do have to do a lot of reading on your own, but that's what's expected from you in college. Do your work and study for tests and you should do well in his class.

You'll have to be self-motivated to read the texts, but he gives you a lot of chances. I mean, the midterm and the final had three different forms for you to choose from: essay, mult choice, or short answer. You could at least get a C on one of them right?

He's so nice when it comes to tests because you can choose which one you want to take essay, short answer, multiple choice. The teacher is very funny & he gets the class involved! I dont even like the subject but because of him I enjoyed it throughout winter. I didnt study much and got a C!!

Me and my friend took Dodge for California history. Easiest damn class....ever! Loved the field trips to ghetto parts of LA. Our grade was just to go on the frickin field trip! Main advice: pick the essay for the test...he won't fail you. If you pick multiple choice, you're screwed. Me and my friend did essays, always 20+ or better, out of 25. LOL!

take his class! its so easy!

he is so easy. try to write for more than 4 pages in both midterm and final. guarentee A. Dont Take the Frigging MC, U WILL BE SCREW!

History 16 is not for people who need structure, but I've gotta say that the class was always very interesting. Reading the books helps a lot to keep up with the discussions.

This is the best class ever!!! This professor always makes jokes to keep the class entertained!!! And he's very laid-back, what kind of professor listens to his iPod? I recommend taking this class, and choose the essay for midterm and final!!! It's way easier than doing a multiple choice or short answer!!! Take this professor, or you'll miss out!!!

well what can i say bout dodge. his lectures r basically all on powerpoint so all u have to do is copy them. briefly read the books.his midterms & final r essays. just as long as u write like 4-6 pages youll be fine. and besides he lets you copy notes on your blue book for 5 min prior 2 the tests. hes weird,and sometimes funny

The BEST professor at Pasadena City College you can get for History that makes life so easy for you. He let you eat and drink in class everyday while he lecture. Breaks are reasonable. Little homework. Easy class to pass for sure unless you do nothing. Show up in class, do the test and participate and you will pass 99.9 percent.

FUN FUN FUN. This guy is funny as hell and cool. lets you make up late work, you go on field trips practically every week!!!!! that means no class!!! you go to Santa barbara, san diego, different museums and just report on what you saw and did, thats it!!!! easy class and chill too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Good class. Good professor! He shows great movies in class and makes the info interesting. You can snack in class! Hes very lenient if you have good reason and understanding. Midterm, final & paper. He likes class participation as well and makes you think outside the box!

This class was easy and fun. All we had to do was go on field trips and write short essays. The lectures are boring but you won't have to do a lot of reading for this class. It's a breeze.

Easiest teacher iv ever had, chill, all you have to do is watch videos and color maps, tests and quizzes are pretty much easy, you will catch on to the material fast.

Dodge is the SHIZ, the way the class is designed is theres a trip with the exception of 3 class meetings I kept track of all the expenses, it came to 143, and i would estimate an extra 50 for traveling expenses The trips are really cool especially S.D. and S.B. CourseopenedmyeyesEasyA THANKSDODGE=)

i am shocked to read the reviews here. he took me to places i have been and i learned more about them. actually considering attending some of the field trips again because he invited us to do so. i HATE history and i got a b in the classwithout taking the final cause my best friend died. and he did not know that. super easy super funnclass.

Mr. Dodge was an excellent class conductor. He really knows his stuff and keeps everyone involved. He turned what could have been endless reading and memorizing of dates into a relevant, and hands on learning experience!

This is perhaps the best class at PCC, ever. Dodge is an old badass, and he has a sense of humor. We went on field trips every week and he tried to get us discounts on every ticket we ever bought. This is way better than sitting in class and memorizing a bunch of useless crap. Get a life and get out there.

I took him for summer and he hated me for coming in late. So be on time! Other than that, Dodge is awesome. His quick lecture about racial stereotypes was eye-opening. Teachers that can inspire students to produce good in society should always be admired. Oh, and the video project was fun!

Mark Dodge is the most humorous and most sarcastic professor at pcc. He "uses" the book for his lectures. If you skip class you're not screwed, because he gives a brief study guide, before the tests. His tests have the option for either answering 1 of 5 essay questions or 25 multiple choice questions. Very little to no homework. MUST TAKE!

I do not understand all of these bad ratings. He was a funny teacher and one of the best. He gave three test which were pretty easy He gives 6 maps and group discussions. One presentation.

Read the book, color the maps, take the tests. Its that easy. Dodge is dope.

This guy has me laughing sometimes. Love the way he teaches history. He even invited students to come to Paris with him. He has maps to color and lots of reading to do. His exams seem a lot harder than what's expected but just study and everything will be fine. I won't forget his lectures and his jokes. Love teachers like him.

Great class, Dr Dodge doesnt put unnecessary pressures or stress on his students, and has a very dry yet hilarious sense of humor. 3 Exams, make sure to choose the essay and write A LOT, even if its jibberish. Odds are that if you write a lot, he'll simply flip through the pages and give you an A without reading your essay. He's Lazy but Easy

Very good and nice professor. I took him for history 1A. He gives study guide which is helpful for test. By the way, his class is the most comfortable I have taken.

Dr. Dodge essentially co-taught this course at McMaster in the fall term, to this day he's one of my favorite professors/TA's. His feedback is genuine and you can tell he cares a lot about his students and their learning. I LOVED attending his sections and he even helped me outside of class time with essays and writing (offered to every student).
