He is a good teacher.

Great professor, has an incredible passion for what he teaches, and he tries to spread that passion on to his students. I highly recomend him for any of his classes

very into his work and always willing to help you out. tests are mostly from the notes. In general a very nice guy.

Great teacher; interesting subject and great approach. The exams reflect the lecture and his class was one of the highlights in my day.

GREAT professor!! he makes the class interesting and has great inflection in his voice. he is VERY willing to help and knows what he's talking about. very nice guy too.

Dr. Oyos has a tremendous amount of energy and gets excited about the course material. You can tell from his voice. The man never speaks in a monotone. He is very approachable for advice too.

hes such an awsome guy and teacher i would recommmend him to anyone!!

American History after 1865...GREAT CLASS!! Dr. Oyos is incredibly engaging and enthusiastic. He will make you want to come to class. Lets you use a note card on tests and gives easy quizzes! GREAT GUY!

he's very into his teaching, his lectures aren't boring & you have quizes & test from reading & notes, Not too hard...

One of my favorite history teachers ever. Does a really good job keeping me awake during lectures and is more than willing to help.

Very knowledgable and energetic. More than willing to help his students in shoolwork and in giving advice for continuing education.

he is such a great teacher and such a nice guy, he shows a few videos and gives nice outlines so your notes will be easier to organize and makes class very interesting doing differnt random things - he also allows quite a few missed classes before he takes off any points :) TAKE HIS CLASSES

You gotta see this teacher in action, he is so engeric in class! He really gets into teaching, and makes class very interesting. All you gotta do is go to class and take good notes. He's very helpful and concerned about his students. VERY GOOD CLASS!!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Easy to pay attention to even boring stuff. I find his tests to be somewhat hard though.

Very energetic which makes class entertaining.I really enjoyed his class.VERY HELPFUL!Tests are fairly hard,even if you study your notes.Make sure you understand every term on his study guide sheet and you'll do fine. Terrific teacher would love to have him again.

AWESOME TEACHER!By far one of my favorite professors at Radford. I learned so much from his class and he was so interesting to listen to. I hope that I can take him again!

Good professor. Seems to enjoy his job very much. One of the only classes I don't dread going to every day.

War in the Modern World, Vietnam War...Fantastic professor! You can tell he loves his job. He was my favorite professor at RU.

AMAZING TEACHER! dr. oyos is by far the best teacher i have had at radford so far! he makes history fun and interesting and makes you never want to miss his class. i learned more in his class than i ever did in highschool. hes willing to help and is extremly nice. HAVE THIS TEACHER!!!

Incredible professor...really knows his stuff...gets enthused about history..no need to by the course book just go to class and take really good notes..you might need the article book. Hands down awesome guy very helpful just go to him and he'll help you.

i had dr. oyos twice and loved him in each class. always willing to help!

I loved his class. Thius man is very energetic. Class was ok

he is a very good professor.one of the best. he has a real passion for history and it shows.his lectures are interesting & 50 minutes goes by really quick!his test are kind of hard but if you study for it you will do fine.quizzes are cake.it's worth it to take him so you actually walk away learning something about history.i expect a B. take him

He's a great teacher and he is really passionate about his work. He loves history so it makes it a little more interesting. He doesn't sit there the whole time and just lecture you, he is very active and fun to listen to. If you are going to take this class, be prepared to take a lot of notes and the tests and quizzes should be easy for you.

He was a great teacher and always kept me interested. I hated history before I took this class!

This man LOVES history! He is very active in class which makes the 50 minutes go by a little faster. Be ready to take a lot of notes, he doesn't provide any. Quizzes are easy if you read the book. Tests are kind of hard, just take good notes and you'll do fine. You can use a notecard on all 3 tests and the final exam!

I have never learned so much about a subjct I hated. Tests a little harder, but you get a notecard. read for the quizzes. He is so nice, and his teaching style makes the class go by in a flash! Great professor!

Very good professor. He is very informative. No home work- only lectures and a few reading assignments before tests. We had one major presentation at the end of the year and two papers that aren't harshly graded. Tests are slighly difficult. This was my only B that semester, but you do, in fact, learn alot.

Dr. Oyos is a great professor! He is always willing to help his students and answer any questions. Take lots of notes during class, do the readings, and you should be able to get an easy A on tests and quizzes. I recommend his class even if you don't like history, because he makes it so interesting!

Great teacher I had a ball in his class. You learn a lot and he cares about all his students! Lets you have a notecard for all the tests and gives a study guide. Pay attention, do the study guide and you get an A!

As a history major, I can personally say that Dr. Oyos was the best history professor in the department. His lectures were fun to listen to and he knew much about the subject matter. He even made a three hour night class seem like an hour. However, you have to read the documents that he provides and be a good writer to get a decent grade.

He is one of the best professors that I have had a Radford. He does a lot of moving around and his lectures are always fun to listen to. He is very helpful and is always willing to talk to students. He is a very funny man and everyone should get the chance to have this professor. GET HIM!

Good teacher, his tests are hard though as they are essay.

Dr. Oyos is a great teacher! His lectures are great and if you take good notes and pay attention you will do fine in his class. He is a funny guy and can tell you some funny stuff that happened in history.

Oyos is the man!! He is a gentleman and a scholar.

Professor Oyos is the man. Take good notes and retain some of the many facts he throws at you and you'll do fine.

great teacher take him ! He loves history and is interesting in class . Puts up an outline every day. If you read for the quizs your going to get an A, Lets you use a notecard for tests and gives you a study guide- Tests are half multi and half essay but not super hard- PLUS he reallys cares about his students

LOVED HIM! I hated history until I took his class. Take good notes and show up to class and you'll get a B or higher. His essays were easy and you can make a notecard for every test. Just make sure you read the chapter quizzes in the small book and make a good notecard for each exam and it will be a worry free class

great professor, just study and pay attention!

Amazing professor..I don't even like history and he made it interesting and fun..I actually wanted to go to class. He really loves what he teaches and it makes it sooo much easier to go to class and learn. He tells what's going to be on tests and quizes are easy. TAKE HIM!

hes a good teacher and a nice guy

Great teacher! Best at radford! Funny and he knows his stuff!

So nice, loves history I hated history before this and he is so nice and he loves the subject he teaches and I value that. Take him.

very great teacher!!!

Dr. Oyos should stop teaching history and teach other teachers how to teach. A gentleman and a scholar overall great man.

Amazing. I hate history and he made me enjoy it. Loves what he talks about. Just listen to him take good notes read for the quizzes and you will do fine. I wish I needed more history classes for my major so I could take him again. He is easy to listen to, and if you miss 2 classes or less you get 10 extra points! Take him!

Oyos is a great guy and makes history fun for everyone. He gives easy 10 question multiple choice quizzes based on a chapter in your books every week or two. He is always there to help you and he's super nice. I recommend him to anyone regardless if you like history or not. He's been my favorite professor this year. Take him you won't regret it

Most likely the greatest professor at Radford University, the best I've ever had. His lectures are so entertaining, its easy to listen to. BE SURE YOU READ! There are several reading quizzes on the books. Tests are not easy without studying (obviously). You must study and take notes during lecture. Amazing man and I am going to miss his class.

Best teacher I have EVER had. He's a great guy and makes class a lot of fun. Uses different styles of teaching to help every student. Lectures are fun and entertaining. You also watch videos, do groupwork for extra credit, and reading. Many 10 point quizes on readings that can help your grade. Have to study for tests. Definitely a ateacher to take.

BEST PROFESSOR EVER. He is very straight forward with what he wants out of his students, tells you exactly what you need and what you need to do to do well in his class. Tests are very easy, as long as you do the short reading when he asks and as long as you go to class. Very funny, very nice, best teacher ever.

He does an AWESOME job teaching the class,he really does a good job at it and covers everything and the only work you have is to read occasionally and take quizzes every couple days and every couple of weeks a test. He is very helpful and he makes a point to know his students names. Takes attendance and you're allowed to miss 5 classes.

Mr. Oyos is such a great professor. He definitely loves his job, he knows what he is talking about and he is a really nice man. I definitely recommend Oyos, I have had him for two classes and he is one of the best professors I have ever had!

great professor knows what hes talking about and as long as you go to class youll have the material for the test gives reading quizes all you have to do is read the chapter take a 10 question quiz very easy and for all test he gives the essays ahead of time same with a mini study guide! you can miss up to 6 classes

He's an okay teacher. GO TO EVERY CLASS, he is ALWAYS taking attendance. I loved history before I took his class, and when I got in here just made me hate it. Too many quizzes and they're too close together. The exams are hard. Good luck if you have him.

Best history professor I've ever had. People who complain about him are just lazy in my opinion. If you have the opportunity to take his class DO IT

I didn't expect to enjoy 295 as much as I did. Dr. Oyos made the class enjoyable and challenging. I really learned a lot and he was always extremely helpful. I look forward to taking more of his classes.

Seriously this is the most sincere professor you will ever have the privilege of having here at Radford. He loves what he teaches and understands that we aren't interested in it, and changes your mind about it. Easy to work with, really great guy and great class. If i could take him for a third semester, I definitely would!

Dr. Oyos is great! Probably my favorite professor so far. There is an attendance policy, but nothing too strict. He gives quizzes frequently but if you do the readings you'll do great. IF you pay attention in class you'll easily pass and if you just study what he puts on the study guides you'll make at least a B on exams. Overall, loved the class!

Hands down one of the best professors at Radford, maybe the whole country. He's funny, he's excited, he's knowledgeable. Radford is lucky to have him, he could be a top teacher at any school.

Radford University is lucky to have this guy. Extremely passionate teacher who deeply cares about his students. Everybody I know has loved him as a professor. Do yourselves a favor and take his class. You'll learn a great deal and walk away from his class with a love for history. We're extremely lucky to have him here at Radford.

Great teacher! He knows his stuff. He's not very strict. Very nice and encourages students to engage in discussions. Lectures are usually very boring, but he tries to make them more interesting. You have to write an essay for each exam. Kinda grades harshly on them. Other than that, he's good teacher.

Probably the best teacher I've had in the History Department. I've taken him for 4 classes, ranging from introductory courses to upper-level classes, and each one was a pleasure.

Good professor

Goot profesor

He is super helpful and super understanding, He is straight forward in what he requires, and the tests are pretty easy as long as you read. he gives you plenty of room for missed days every now and then

He is a great professor. My favorite at RU. He gives 12 points to your final grade for missing less than 2 classes. You have 3 tests covering the lectures. Utilize the study guide and you will be fine. He gives quizzes based on book reading. They're easy if you read. Test format is great and he allows extra time for test taking. Not cumulative test

Really great professor. His lectures are interesting and he really wants to make sure everyone understands what's going on. Quizzes 10 multiple choice, Tests had free response, MC, and an essay but he let you bring an index card that you could write on front and back for every test. Really nice guy.

Honestly, I hated this class! Dr. Oyos was super nice and a really good professor but a tough grader! The essays are never good enough and the exams and quizzes are hard!! Attendance and Participation is VERY important to him, that it's almost ridiculous. I've always enjoyed history until taking this class. Choose another class!

Dr. Oyos was pretty great. He's funny and explains everything very well. There is tons of reading and writing to do for his class but it is worth it in the end because you end up learning a lot.

Professor Oyos is the man. His lectures will just make you geek b/c of how he paces back and forth. No disrespect intended. He knows the material extremely well. If you take good notes during class and listen to the man, you will get an A. He also allows you to use a notecard on exams. Highly recommend taking a class with him. He's got character.

Multiple papers and discussion boards. Lots of textbook reading to do the papers and parts of the tests. Taken during the summer. Do not forget to do any of the assignments, it will greatly affect your grade.

Dr. Oyos is my favorite professor at RU. He gives amazing lectures that actually make you want to participate. He makes sure his students understand the material and helps them on his own time. He is funny and I respect him so much. Im taking Hist 112 next semester just to take his class again. Even lets you use a notecard on tests! He's the man!!!

Prof. Oyos is a really good teacher and he really knows what he's talking about. You need the book for reading quizzes and a couple questions on the exams, but he also posts study guides which are very helpful. Unfortunately he does have essays on his test, but he preps you for them and gives you them before the test so you're well prepared.

I'm planning on taken 2 more courses with him next semester. Definitely good teacher.

Dr. Oyos's video lectures were well-made and helped to condense and clarify the textbook readings. A bit more writing-heavy than a standard summer course, but grading wasn't very strict. Discussion post requirement was annoying because posts from other students were often unintelligible. A great prof to really learn about war and its history.

I LOVED Dr. Oyos! He is super kind and very understanding and his lectures are so interesting. He is one of those professors who easily keeps you engaged. He lets you use notes on all of his tests and his tests are simple as long as you take notes and attend his class. Attendance is mandatory but it's worth it! Would take him again.

Great professor I would take him again. Their are 3 very graded papers but as long as you do it and turn it in on time you should be fine. 2 exams all written so study!!

Dr. Oyos has a clear teaching style. The lectures and readings are engaging, and with tools like unstuckstudy, the writing-heavy workload is manageable. Overall, a great class to learn about war and history.

I absolutely loved his lectures and learned so much in the semester. The outside of class work really prepares you for tests. He is always willing to help and very kind. Even if you struggle with history I would definitely recommend taking his course.

Definitely one of the best history teachers I've had so far. Even though you will write alot he is a Super fair grader it's honestly pretty hard to get a bad grade in this class. Attendance is mandatory but the class goes by really fast he has great lectures. Not at all difficult would for sure take him again.

Dr. Oyos is very passionate about what he teaches. So much so that he'll end up getting anybody invested in the material. He is a VERY generous grader, like seriously, you would have to TRY to get a bad grade on any of his assignments.
