Dr. Hall is the best! He actually makes history interesting. I refer to his classes as story time with Dr. Hall, he does make you work. However, he makes class easy by making in interesting. Listen for when he says 3, it will prob be on the test.

Awesome man. REally does make history interesting. Come to class, everything from class is on the test.

Dr. Hall is a very intelligent man and wonderful teacher. All of his lectures are very interesting. If you come to all his lectures, the test are straight from the lecture notes. I wish I could take him for all of my history classes. A definite two thumbs up.

Hall is freakin' ****! I swear I'm going to get me some boots like his. He makes you want to visit Latin America by the way he talks about it. He truly makes every class exciting and new. I have a new personal goal to dress as **** as him.

If you haven't had Dr. Hall, take his class. He makes the class so interesting that you want to learn. If you go to class and listen you will do well.

He is awesome! There is no need to say anthing more.

Makes even the stupid boring stuff interesting.

If you haven't had doctor hall yet, TAKE HIS CLASS!!! He is an awesome professor that makes history very interesting!!! He also has a sense of humor and will do anything to help you!!!

Dr. Hall is one sexy beast of of a dresser. Nice beatle boots! He is cool, he is good to his students, and he makes you learn the fun way.

dr.hall is awesome! funny,friendly, the list goes on and on!

Dr. Hall rocks! I'd reccomend his class even if you don't have to take it! He is absolutely hysterical, a great teacher, and really knows his stuff. There is NO reason not to do well in his class. I enjoyed his class tremendously!

Great professor, makes everything interesting. There are a few papers you have to do but they are very easy. There are 3 Exams and all come straight from the lecture notes. There are also multiple days where you will watch videos in class.

Attend all the lectures, skip movie days and only read the textbook for the chapters you selected to write your papers on. His 3 exams came right out of the lecture notes, if you were there they were a breeze, if not you won't find the answers in the text. His lectures are interesting.

Wow! What a personality! He makes learning memorable and fun. Great professor.

I absolutely loved this professor...I only wish he taught more lower level history classes.

I really liked his class. He was able to keep it interesting and informative.

the best lectures i got from dr. hall. going to his class was like storytime with grandpa. very cool guy who knows an awful lot about what he teaches, or at least makes us believe he does. he'll entice you from the moment you step in to class... try to be on time, he hates late ppl and will probably hate you all through the semester if you continue to show up late. there isn't much discussion in the class, come on ppl, this is a one man show.

He is the Greatest Teacher I have ever had!!! DH Rocks!

Dr. Hall is an awesome teacher.

I hated history before this class. Dr. Hall is the most interesting professor I've ever had. The assigned extra reading book is amazing. Tests are straight from book so don't bother reading the text book. Definitly recommend!!

Dr. Hall knows his stuff, but he is stuck on himself. He thinks he's God's gift to women! He also likes to brag about all his travels.

great professor, really knows his stuff. the tests are straight from the notes - really easy.

Funny guy, makes the class very interesting. He is like a walking textbook, knows so much about History. His tests are hard, and he gave us 3 books to read and a paper on each. Good books though. The class is pretty hard, but you will learn alot.

Take notes, notes, notes and be prepared to write a 2-3 papers. Hard work, but manageable. He makes the class very enjoyable with his sense of humor.

if you go to class it should not be a problem AT ALL! all tests come straight from notes and they are not too difficult. They are all multiple choice. he requires some papers but honestly i don't think he even reads them. he will just write A on the top of your paper! i reccommend him for any of the history courses! i will definitely take him again

Dr. Hall is so interesting- he knows everything and lectures wihtout notes or a book. Class is full of notes, write as much as possible. a very informative class.

Absolutely one of my favorite professors and classes that I've taken!! Interesting lectures and tests are multiple choice taken directly from class. He focuses on concepts in history rather than having to memorize a ton of dates! Thank goodness! This class is a must!

he is not hard but not easy. he makes you write like 4 papers but nothing out of this world. all his exams come from his notes. so if u want to pass his class take good notes and read them constantly. i plan on taking him for other history classes that's for sure.

Incredible knowledge!!!!!!! Must go to class for his test though, but they are pretty easy. For civ2 don't buy the book's find somone who has and just copy the one chapter he makes you write a paper on. (he grades easy on the papers) One of the best and easiest professor's in hist department. Just DONT WALK INTO CLASS LATE without permission!

Great teacher! He really made the lectures enjoyable. He required us to read 3 books and write 2 in class essays and I paper outside of class discussing the books. It was nothing difficult. Also had 3 exams over the notes you take in class. Must go to class in order to do well on tests since the tests come straight from the notes. Highly recommend!

This is a very interesting class. He does a great job of making it a great learning environment. The only problem are his test are weird. They are worded odd making them more difficult than they should be. Fun class and I learned a lot though. Writings are easy but don't count for much of your grade. I would recommend for an enjoyable class.

Great class! I actually wanted to go and learned something. He is a funny guy. Makes the time fly by. 3 multiple choice tests and 3 papers. I didn't know anyone who didn't get an A on their papers. Definately would recommend.

HIS VOICE WAS MONOTONE AND BORING TO ME. I OFTEN GOT SLEEPY, BUT MANAGED TO STAY UP. HE HAD INTRESTING THINGS TO SAY. THE BOOKS WE READ WERE VERY GOOD. PAPERS ARE EASY. IF YOU CANT PASS THIS CLASS YOU SHOULDNT BE IN COLLEGE.

TAKE HIM! This guy was completely awesome! I really loved his lectures and wanted to come to class! There wasn't a lot of required reading but what we did have to read was very interesting! Tests are easy as long as you take good notes!

Dr. Hall is the man. Everyday is like a story instead of a lecture. I took him for both HIST 1101 and 5540 i liked him so much. He is a really interesting guy and one of the best prof at AASU. I highly recommend him.

You can lern so much from Dr. Hall. He is very interested in history, and makes it fun to go to class. The 8:30 class is not hard to make, because you know the class is going to be fun. Attendance is not required, but it is hard to do well unless you listen to the lectures. No text book is required. 4 exams and the final is not cummulative.

LOVE HIM! no joke, best professor i have had so far (in third semester). I WANTED to go to class (and it was early). His lectures are interesting and humorous and his essays are easy. invest in tape recorder. gives answers to hard questions on tests.

Dr. Hall is a great teacher, his lectures are very interesting and I enjoyed them. His tests are a little difficult if you do not attend his classes and take good notes. Before each test he picks one student to pick a free question for everyone. If you don't really like history, you will love Dr. Hall.

Awesome individual. He is a wealth of knowledge. Come to class take good notes and reiterate his notes back to him on the exams. (all essay) and you will do fine..You will retain almost everything he teaches you. Very Funny, very intellegent. Hates stupid people. He gives simple guidance and students still do the opposite..Highly recommend. A+++++

I like his jokes. I think his humor is what made him go into teaching. He had some boring professor and he wanted to be the opposite. I wish he let students talk more during the lecture but he saves time at the end. The textbook covered problems in American history which helps students have a holistic view. You form your own opinions.

Dr. Hall is an awesome professor. He's funny and he seems genuinely interested in the subject material, but don't take this class if you can't deal with lectures, because that's all it was. I'm barely interested in history, but I passed with a B.

Dr. Hall is a funny and very knowledgable professor. His tests are completly essay form. He gives you five terms and you have to write a one page essay on each. The second part of his tests is the choice between two essays, each must be no more then three pages long. He is a good professor and you will learn a lot from him. Don't miss his tests!!

If you were not a fan of history beofre going into this class you will be after. Dr. Hall's way of teaching is very upbeat, consistent, and fun. Dr. Hall also encourages participation from the students during lecture. One of my favorit professors at Armstrong. Would definitley take a class with Dr. Hall again!

As said, Dr. Hall is funny, interesting, cultured, opinionated, and a hell of teacher. The final paper was about the Rwandan genocide, but that may change (King Leopold's Ghost may be his new hit text). All tests were multiple choice, straight from his lectures. Show up, take notes, and enoy the ride.

Amazing professor and definitely my favorite. Very strict with his grading and doesn't put up with BS, but makes his instructions very clear. I plan on taking as many of his classes as possible.

Dr. Hall is amazing! He speaks very clearly and is easy to follow. He does not take and BS, but as long as you pay attention you will excel! Even though he is a Yankee, which he is proud of, he knows what he is talking about!!

Took HIST 1111 and 1100 honors with him. he doesn't like textbooks so you read novels instead-usually about 3-4 novels but he usually picks really good novels.tests are right from his notes, multiple choice. His makes history fun and interesting! he's kind of arrogant and rude at times, but he knows it and it makes his class interesting.

THE PERFECT TEACHER! If you don't get an A it is your own fault. The class I took was essay exam, 4/5 ID's and 1/2 2 pg bluebook essay about the book you read. The textbook is hardy used and you read novels. Will take mire classes with him for sure!

Awesome guy. Makes history interesting and he always has a story about how dysentery changes wars. Definitely taking another history class with him.

GREAT TEACHER!! The class was very engaging and time semmed to fly by. Attendance is not mandatory at all, i didnt miss one class because they were so great. You have to read 3 books but they are not hard. Definitly my favorite history teacher at armstrong. A++++

This guy is amazing, pretty intimidating at first...but a real fun guy and great story teller/lecturer. ABSOLUTELY TAKE NOTES for sure, if you miss class definitely borrow notes from someone else - the documents book is next to worthless besides slightly reinforcing topics from class. Test are all multiple choice (almost exclusively from notes!)

Dr. Hall is a great teacher. He can be offensive to some people that are insecure. Multiple choice exams but not easy. Very logical (not trick) questions. The syllabus has a list of all the topics and terms for the course. Just go to class and check off every term he uses and you'll do fine. Terms not discussed in lecture are not on test.

Dr. Hall is a really great teacher. Interesting class and you will learn a lot. Go to class, take notes & you'll do fine. No textbook- just lectures, no homework, 3 multiple choice tests & an 8 pg paper over 2 books. Not difficult at all. Loved him.

Teaching style is great! He's very funny. He gives a packet of words in the order of his lectures. Defining them as he talks makes it SOO easy to study. He also gives "3 Points" for certain events which you MUST write down. For tests, just study the words & 3 points. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. Read 2 books. (theyre great!) Final exam is book report.

Dr. Hall is a great professor. Its important to read the book but you must also attend lecture and its helpful to take notes. His ethics in history class is awesome. I learned so much and even thought about changing my major because of this class. Read, take notes and you will earn an A, no lower than a B if you try.

I loved his class. End of story. He's an amazing teacher who tells you everything you need to know. As long as you go to lecture you will pass. There's no way you can fail this class if you actually go. The man is hilarious and a great teacher. TAKE HIS CLASS.

LOVE LOVE LOVE DR. HALL! HE IS A VERY ENGAGING, WONDERFUL HISTORY TEACHER. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIS STYLE OF TEACHING. HE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND HE MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING. THIS WAS A FIVE WEEK COURSE AND IT WASN'T BAD AT ALL. ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS PREPARE A 3PG IMPERATIVE ESSAY AND A COMPREHENSIVE FINAL. I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE HIM AGAIN!

I liked Dr Hall. He is a story teller and he is easy to take notes from. His tests are based only on lecture so its helpful to attend class but no attendance isaen. H does lock the door at the beginning of class. He is a man that says whats on his mind. He doesn't have a filter which I LOVED!!! Glad someone at AASU can keep it real.

Took Dr. Hall for LA History. It was easy for me because I was interested and Dr. Hall is an awesome teacher. I am not an azz kisser in any way, although I did talk to Dr. Hall because that's what teachers and students do, just be yourself, show up for class, be engaged in the material study and you will do well, and don't take these personal.

Dr Hall is by far the best History professor at Armstrong. He is also hilarious, yet serious about his field. You absolutely must attend lectures or you will probably not pass the course. His classes are the most interesting I have taken and the most amusing. Highly recommend, unless you are too lazy to attend class. Excellent

How to succeed in Dr. Halls class: 1.) Be in at every lecture because the lecture is the test. 2.) Pay attention to what he talks the most about - it will be on the test. 3.) Read the books and make sure your group presentation isn't dull. Dr. Hall is fun, can be rude, but loves what he teaches. Pretty easy A if you aren't lazy!

He makes class interesting by adding humor to his lectures. He gives 3 tests, a group presentation and paper. He doesn't use powerpoint so be prepared to take notes while you listen to him talk. overall it was a pretty good class. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want a good grade come to class because he only tests over whats in his lectures

Didn't read the book. Everything you need to know to get an A on the test is in the lecture. Take good notes, study your notes.Some people think he's funny, others think he's rude. His sarcasm and politics are just thrown in to make things fun. It is never personal. You can rest assured your grade will reflect your effort.

This was by far the best history class I have taken at Armstrong. He definitely makes his class interesting. He doesn't use any technology, so be prepared to take good notes, especially because that's what all of his tests are based off of. The book is really unnecessary. You definitely need to go to class to pass.

Lazy students complain about everything. Dr Hall's lectures are the most interesting and amusing at Armstrong. He makes the material fun !!! Exams are from lecture. So, yes you do have to go to class-duh ! The material is not easy-its college, people. Write an interesting paper, do a creative project-have fun, get an A. He's not rude- its humor.

He is amazing! He definitely speaks what's on his mind so don't take things personally but I prefer to have a professor who is real & down to Earth. His class is super easy just listen to his lectures & take notes. He is very entertaining and hilarious! He can certainly open your mind to the world in a way you've never seen it before.

Wonderful professor. My favorite so far. He is hilarious and down to earth. He says what is on his mind. Attendance isn't mandatory but come to class because that's where you will get the notes for his 3 tests. No powerpoints. Take good notes. Read the books. Do the presentation. And you will pass. Would definitely take him again.

This professor is one of my favorites, but he isn't for everyone. He expects you to have everything done to the best of your ability. No excuses. He also speaks his mind and isn't afraid to hurt anyone's feelings (which is why I liked him so much). I've found that a lot of my classmates don't like him because of that, though. I LOVED his class.

by far best history prof. ive ever had. a little loud and obnoxious for how early his class was but definitely made it more interesting. take good notes. do good on your group project. you can BS the papers and still get a A or B. definitely my easiest course

Come to class and you will pass. Great professor and Great sense of humor. He is why I decided to get a History Minor.

My favorite professor at Armstrong. He is hilarious and his lectures are interesting. You'll learn a lot. He's really knowledgeable about his subject. Easy A as long as you come to class. There are only two exams, a paper, and a presentation. Presentation isn't as hard as it sounds. He's the reason that I became a history minor. Don't buy textbook.

Fantastic Professor! He is hilarious and brilliant. You just have to show up for class. If you do not, you will fail. I'm not kidding. His lecture is everything. He is easy to talk to and ask questions.

Dr. Hall is very knowledgeable and presents the material in an interesting, sometimes comical way. The tests are all multiple choice, and if you come to class you should do well. They are not as easy as he'd have you believe, though; study! He does assign a group project with ten group members, and coordinating with so many people is difficult.

By far the best history teacher Ive took. Class only consist of him explaining the material mainly by telling a story. But its not boring he throws in jokes to keep you interesting. Youll have one book to read only 3/4 test and one group project which if you cover the basics youll do good. Test are easy if you heard his lectures. No quizzes

Great history professor, he lectures by just telling stories of what he's teaching and it is interesting. A funny man as well which made 8 AM classes a little better. GO TO CLASS, if you miss lectures, there goes your grade/test scores. He grades two tests, a group project and an essay. That's it.

I'll assume he does his other classes similar to the Latin America classes. You have three exams, a presentation, and an essay - that's all the grade. Each day is a lecture, and while attendance isn't mandatory, you'll have trouble keeping up with the notes if you missed half of a country's lecture for that unit.

Dr. Hall is an old school kind of guy. He does not use powerpoint and no handouts. He is certainly a character though and makes all the lectures very interesting. He loves to talk and does digress a bit, and if you're late to his class, he will make you wait outside until he feels you should be let in. Study the day before a test and youll get an A

I havent decided how I feel about Dr. hall. His lectures are entertaining and supplement by the document text book. He is easy to please for group presentation, but the tests are slightly difficult. He lectures like stories and can keep your attention but sometimes test material may not be something we covered. Very down to earth.

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Don't listen to people saying he was difficult and he locked them out when they were in the bathroom (that girl commenting below went to the bathroom everyday!) Show up, take notes, you'll pass! Such an easy class. He likes to joke with his students and is very personable.

Amazing lecture, we bought one book for the class but it was just over documents and it was super cheap. Honestly my favorite history teacher at Armstrong. He is so knowledgeable and makes tests and lectures clear and easy if you've been listening. I specifically look for him when taking classes.

As long as you show up and do Dr. Halls work you will pass his class. His lectures are easy to comprehend and he is a very relatable person. He understands life happens and tries to work with you. 100% would take another class of his

Dr hall is a very old school prof, no grade posting on folio, and no use of ppt. That being said, he is easily one of my favorite profs and is a real personality. You have 2 tests, a paper, a group project, and a paper final. Tests are a 5/10 on hardness. He loves to talk as well, don't start a conversation with him that you don't have time for.

Dr. Hall is a great professor his assignments are very easy and very straight forward. He won't take much of your time and he gives you a lot of time to do his assignments. Going in class for his discussions are interesting and you learn a lot of things. This class is definitely an easy A!

Funny teacher. You don't get too many assignments from him, although you have a 1500 word essay due at the end of the semester based on 3 books. Doesn't grade harshly. MAKE SURE YOU TURN STUFF IN ON TIME.

Great professor, although attendance is not mandatory, going to lectures will make the only two exams a breeze if you just listen and pay attention, and of course, take notes.

Dr. Hall is good at making history interesting. Makes his class criteria very clear. He only uses lectures (take notes) so going to class is important but he's a good speaker, magnaged, and makes class entertaining. Assignments were in-person exams, essays/reflections, and an interpretive essay on a book. Enjoys food and culture.

He is such an AWESOME professor and very straight forward! i love him HE IS SO FUNNY! If you don't like dry or dark humor don't take him only 6 assignments all semester! 12/10 recommend

Interesting lectures that emphasize culture, especially food history. Clear grading instructions. He does not accept late assignments. He gives us weeks to complete each assignment. Rather than power point in the classroom he uses handouts and posting with videos in Folio.
