Professor Ramey was an amazing professor, I genuinely enjoyed going to his class. I recommend recording his lectures, they will help you out when it comes time to study for the tests. Also make sure to read the readings he assigns, they're short nothing too crazy, the quiz questions on the readings are super easy.

Professor Ramey did a great job in my summer II class. Makes history fun and exciting and cuts to the important stuff. Grades quite fairly and is wiling to work with you. Solid choice. He does curse quite a lot, if you have a problem with cursing, he isn't the guy for you. Otherwise, great teacher.

He is a great professor, but if you don't like essays, I would advice you to not take his class since you have to write three essays that include, research, argumentative, and a monograph. He is also a tough grader on the essays, especially the research paper. The quizzes are easy and there are only two exams so study hard and don't miss class

He described my work as great but took off points without saying why. I'm starting to believe the low reviews on how he writes his own reviews. He does go off track in his outdated lectures. As a Republican myself, I must say he does say racist things in his lectures. His assignments aren't an issue, it's that he takes off points for no reason.

Professor Ramey always bases his quizzes on the lecture he gives in class or the articles that he assigns us to read. I really don't understand the bad reviews since the professor gives excellent lectures and the truth is that he explains everything very well, the only problem would be yourself if you don't pay attention during class!!!

Simply do not take him. Do not make the same mistake that I did. Had a lot of writing assignments and he was very tough on grades but not in a good way - he would take off points without a reason. He wants you to be an encyclopedia and when you give him your best work, he will spit all over it. He expects more then he puts a limit on pages.
