Anyone complaining about a lot of reading probably just hasn't read since they were forced to do book reports in grade school. If you're interested in the subject, it's not bad. He is a good professor, although maybe a bit monotone during lecture

He cares about history and is very knowledgable on everything he teaches. He is monotone and his lectures can get boring. I felt like his lectures didn't cover material completely or didn't make sense, making you go search in the book for answers. LOTS of reading - book and documents from 1800s-1900s. DONT take if you just need to meet a goal

Lungerhausen was the most "teacher-like" professor that I had this year. He lectured almost every day. The textbook materials weren't needed in class, but the midterm and final are based on the terms in the book. The hardest part of the class was the starred discussions because they were time consuming and could get frustrating at times.

I liked history coming into college but not really anymore. I thought this class was a little too hard for a level 100 class.

He was very nice and willing to help if needed. I also thought he graded fairly. The readings were insane though, I was taking 3 upper level history classes and his class had more reading than the other 2 combined. The readings also were difficult to read and I found myself falling asleep through a lot of it.

Lots of homework

Lungerhausen is a super nice guy overall but gives pretty boring lectures. It can be really easy to tune out but overall his lectures arent too related to quiz content. Do your readings and youll be just fine. Only homework is Starred discussions (really dry) so push through and get those done on time and youre set.

Professor Lungerhausen is can be a little boring to listen to when you aren't really into history but his class is easy to pass. The quizzes are easy with it being open book, open notes, and you get 2 or 3 shots at retaking it. Pass the class doing the readings and participating in class helps. The final is your choosing to show what you learn

He seemed to care a lot about his students and their success in his class. I really enjoyed having him as a professor and would take him for all of my history classes if I could.

Dr. Lungerhausen was my favorite professor of the semester. He is very fair on how he grades and is very understanding if you aren't able to complete assignments on time. He wants you to succeed and its obvious. The tests are fairly easy and there aren't many assignments. The lectures can get long but they are interesting.

Lungerhausen is one of my favorite professors. He is very interested in what he teaches and cares about how you are doing in his class. He mostly gives lectures that are pretty interesting if you are interested in history. His class is an easy A if you show up and want to learn.

Matt is a super cool dude, he genuinely cares about the content of the course and for his students. Readings can get boring… but that’s history. His lectures are very interesting. I’d take him again in a heartbeat.

There will be a lot of reading as homework for this class and almost every class is just lecture. Sometimes there is discussion about the reading. He gives you three tries on all the quizzes, and the assignments are super easy. Literally just do the readings and the few assignments and try to show up to class enough and you should get an A!

It was a LOT of reading, and we spent more time learning about how he wanted us to write our midterm and final than actual content. However, he is an easy grader and it is practically impossible to fail as long as you show up.

The readings he'd assign tended to be very long and sometimes boring, but even just skimming over them tended to be enough to get through the class. As long as you pay attention to the lecture, do most of the readings (mostly on any novels he assigns), and follow his study guides/advice for tests and such I think you'll be fine!

One of the best professors I have ever had. His teaching style is so interesting and engaging. The class is very textbook-heavy, but all of the readings are interesting and prepare you for the final. He gives great feedback and explains exactly where improvements can be made, and leaves time for all questions. I would 100% take his class again.

This class was good, there is a lot of reading that you need to do that comes with 4 different books you need to buy for the class. Lectures tended to get very boring and I found it easy to space out most of the time. Every Friday we had a class discussion, some were graded and some weren't, he is caring and very positive overall.

If the concept of reading every single day really gets you excited, take this class. Quizzes and tests are almost entirely about the four books, and I rarely looked back at lecture notes. Lungerhausen is a nice and smart guy, but expect every question you ask to be followed by a two minute explanation that may answer what you wanted to know.
