He makes the class very interesting! Mostly lectures with powerpoints, but they're interesting and he also shows video. You have to do a lot of vocab but you can use the internet. If you study the notes and read the sources you can do well on the tests. Also do the practice quizzes online, he takes a lot of quiz questions from there!

I really did not enjoy this teacher. He tried so hard to NOT teach from a Eurocentric, conservative perspective that sometimes he ended up teaching things incorrectly. Also, he used a lot of profanity and had little respect for views other than his own. It's an easy class if you just use the website questions he gives you, but not worth it.

To get an A in this class, you must purchase the book & put in a max of an hour or 2 a week of study/writing time. Grades break down this way: seven 200 point essays (very short,250 words) and 14 100pt quizzes. I never read any of the book except the primary sources for the essays.

Super cool and hilarious dude! Online quizzes and weekly writing assignments (250 words minimum) are easy if you have the book. No tests but do have comprehensive final. If D2L has problems, you might get a free pass for missed assignments. Lectures can be long, but he uses lots of videos too. TAKE THIS CLASS if you need the credit.

Literally my favorite professor i've ever had. He's extremely insightful and has an entertaining personality. The class work is fair and isn't difficult to keep up with. Online quizzes and two writing assignments per week-- doesn't take long at all to do. On Halloween weekend he gave us no homework because it was "the holiest of holidays." fun prof

Amazing history teacher, hands down favorite of all time. Take this class if you're in for a laugh and want a teacher that actually cares about the subject... otherwise just skip over of course. Weekly quiz short writings, need your book unfortunately. Study guide for final is amazing, no doubt you need this teacher, waitlist if you must!!!

For GSU not Kennesaw. One of the best teachers to have if you're only there for the summer DE credit. DO NOT TAKE if you want to learn something. Course consisted of 12 quizzes (open note) and 12 discussions (3 per week) and final (not open note but yk). Claims to check emails often but doesn't (not that it matters). Easiest class ever.
