dr. bailey is THE best teacher that i've ever had. his lectures are interesting and easy to follow; his tests are optional except the final and have an optional essay. no good assignments to help your grade tho, so come to class EVERY day, take notes, read the articles, and you'll get an A. low HW.

Great teacher. Makes class fun and engaging. Wish more professors were like him, would make college much easier!

very easy class, no papers, two optional tests and one mandatory final, all are multiple choice. Don't even really have to go to class. Just read the book and the articles and you'll get an A.

Very good lecturer, three tests, two optional but one mandatory Final. The class really gives you a chance to determine your grade. Take notes, read the articles and your sure to get an A, if not at least a B.

Hi motivated me to get good grates during coulege.Very helpful and understands people's situations.A great teacher and person.

Dr. Bailey is a really awesome teacher...he's funny and really good at making the lectures interesting.

i never enjoyed taking a history class before taking this class, especially a US history class. but, he really made the lectures interesting and clear. his tests are straightforward and straight out of the lectures. if u take all his lecture notes, u will definately get an A!

Excellent.

Funny, and great lecturer. He makes history fun....if that is possible. Easy tests!

I loved his 121 class so much I took his 122 class also. This man is just a great professor. He makes you want to do better in all your classes. He was fair and told you what to expect on the exams. Just do the reading, show up, take notes and you will do great.

He is the greatest. I enjoyed the class tremendeously. He is very personable, funny as can be, outgoing and very caring of his students. He is the last of the Great teachers at NVCC. There woll be lots of reading and note taking but he makes it so interesting that you want to be there. Keep up the Good Work Dr. Bailey.

I thought he was really funny, and the way he taught history, it was more like story telling then anything else. If you have to or want to take history, take it with this guy, he's really easy going, nice, and smart.

Awesome professor... wish he taught more courses I could take!

Take this teacher. Decent Guy, exceptionally smart, realizes that this is a "Sample" class and teaches in a broad sense. Highly recommend this teacher, the class is full every night.

If you have poor self-discipline, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He has no attendance policy. Also, two exams are the only grades in the class. The first one is optional, leaving the one exam for your entire grade. Therefore, you MUST keep up with the reading and come to class. However, great, funny, and smart guy.

Awesome professor.... the grade is all in ur hands..... so dont mess it up...

he is a great teacher and he knows what he is talking about also his class is interesting and he makes it fun

He makes history very applicable. For the first time in my academic career, I've found history to be interesting.

Great Professor! Very easy. If you fail, It's your fault! He has no attendance policy, so if your lazy don't take his class. You must keep up with the reading, he asks questions from the book and notes. If you miss a day he does try to get you the outline of what he talked about in class. Very helpful, funny guy!

Just like everyone else said, hes very consistant in what he does. He keeps you interested in what he is saying throughout the class with his jokes, comments, etc. As most others said, just read the articles he tells you to read because they will be a good % on the test. Hes a great professor overall.

he's absolutely fabulous! i'm extremely lazy, but i haven't missed his class once! he's a great professor and i'm looking forward to getting him again next semester!

He is well organized & easy to understand

He was one of the best teachers I've ever had. I had next to no interest in US history when the class started and he got me LOVING it. So much so that I took the second part.

he takes the lecture and involves the whole class and learns everyone's name. if you are there for his lecures, you'll know everything you need to. you need self-discipline for this course, if you fail, it's because of you, not him. he's definitely the best

Awesome Teachers. So much fun. So nice. I had no interest in History before I took his class, but after I wanted ot keep learning more. Awesome Awesome teacher. Pretty Easy too if you attend class

Very nice teacher even if you are not interested in history you will be when he is done, he makes the class fun A good teacher in general

His class was very interesting and easy to follow. I enjoyed attending his class twice a week. If he taught more history courses I would take them as well.

This is a great teacher. Very passionate about history and dedicated to NOVA and teaching. If you are not interested in history I recommend this class because he will get you interested.

I agree with what everyone said, Bailey is the man, his newbalances and all. But with this class you HAVE to have will power, there is only ONE test that is required, the other two are optional. All the tests are straight from your notes which he outlines in the beiginning of each class. Overall he's a GREAT teacher, take him.

Dr. Bailey is my fav prof at Nova. His class is really easy if you just come and take notes. His lectures are great and he's just cool to talk to. I loved history before and I love it even more now!

BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! in ANY subject. Makes HISTORY interesting (never thought that was possible). Most helpful teacher, fun lectures, easy tests if you come to class and pay attention. Funny guy. Knows everyone's name in class. Will take him again. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE HIS CLASS! Best Teacher ive ever had.

he's a great professor and a great person... i've never had a teacher like him in my life. he always came to class with a smile on his face and always had funny jokes..best class ever :)

great

great

Took him for History 121 and loved him so much I took him again for 122. He's a great teacher and he's always in a great mood! As long as you go to class and look over your notes before a test you'll def get an A! highly recommended! :)

Nice, Funny, Easy, makes the material intersting. Take his Honors option, too. Only 3 meetings and its really easy. Just a lot of extra reading and a required essay on the final. But it's easy b/c he doesn't expect u to know too much from that extra reading. American Journey was a waste of money, tho.

amazing amazing amazing. i have had him for all of my history classes. again. hes amazing. such a aweet guy

Best teacher I've had since I started college. He is a great storyteller and keep the students very active and keeps me wanting to stud.

perfect

Great professor. I would highly recommend him to anybody

Prof. provides General Outline on board during entire course. Attending class and maintaining notes that follow the outline, along with following along with assigned readings this is a class you can get an A in. He keeps classes interesting and is fun to listen to.

Great storyteller, knows his subject. The final was unreasonably hard, though. Also, after promising very broad essays' topics a week before the final, the actual essay topic was one and very narrow. If you want to really learn history while having fun, take him. If you are too concerned with your grade and its effect on GPA, take another teacher.

the BEST TEACHER AT NOVA! he is a great guy and has the best stories but yet teaches everything you need to know--you've got to go to class and follow his study guidelines he puts on the board everyday because you don't get study guides or papers stating anything on any of the tests...you just have to go through your notes and study.

He is excellent. Lets you know exactly what need to know for tests. Lectures are fun and exciting. He is a bit nerdy for history, but what enthusiastic teacher isn't on their subject? Good person. Take him.

Fantastic teacher- have taken him twice, A's both times. If you have prior knowledge of the subject, you hardly need to take notes at all, but the lectures are fun. Has a good sense of humor and acknowledges good work.

he's a funny teacher, his jokes are corny but still makes the class more interesting. Take him, he's the best. :-D

Great Teacher, lots of fun, very informed of current events, and good at relating topics in US history to what is going on in the world today.

D. Bailey is a great teacher. He really brings history to life with his own experiences and stories from his grandparents. He always outlines the class topics before class begins, so you know what he'll be discussing adn what will be on the test. He doesn't use powerpoints or notes- he doesn't have to. He knows his stuff.

If you just looking for the easy A take him. Tests were easy and hes not hard to get along with.

Dr. Bailey is the best teacher I have had so far! I hated history until his history 121 class. He teach's in a fun way and gets the entire class invovled. Go to the classes if you wanna make a good grade...the tests are easy...fun and easy class

Great teacher! keeps you interested and is easy to get off subject! Has a fun and entertaining teaching style. I like him! You should take him if you can get into his class!

omg he is the best history teacher ever! he made class really fun. I had the class at 8 in the morning and i stayed awake during his lectures! his tests are easy, you only have 2 tests and one final and the 2 tests are optional (but i wud reconmend taking them it would help your grade).

Fairly Easy Class. However paying attention is crucial he gives lectures and outlines on board you just take notes and prepare for only 3 tests you'll be taking all semester. He has a great sense of humor as well but he won't let ya sleep.

Professor is very nice and kind of corny but i enjoyed his classes. i took his History 121 and 122 classes. I would strongly recommend him. His tests are like 33 multiple choice questions with one or two OPTIONAL essays.

I'm surprised to read any negative comments because I thought HIS was so boring until his class. He is very passionate about the subj. Lectures hold your attention and make you want to attend every class. You will get an A just by taking notes, reading the passages from the book, and studying for the 3 exams that are mult choice w. opt. essay.

Simply put, fantastic, and I don't know how anyone could view him negatively. Has a smile on his face everyday, and is very interesting and knowledgable, not to mention easy. For those who said he is difficult, they must have never taken any other college class... they dont get easier than him, but I say that in a good way. My fav at NOVA.

Not only a professor but a genius. Folks, he's very rare and I advise ANYONE to take him because as much as U.S. history is all a repeat from what we here in the past, he makes it interesting. I use to hate History but now I'm majoring in it. Lets just hope I make it all the way,lol. This is not only an easy A class but an easy understanding.

He is amazing...i never thought i could like history until i got him......and everytime i attend his class i always learn a cool fun fact

Awesome history professor, I had a passing interest in history before taking Prof. Bailey. He inspired me to become a history major, I transferred to UMW where I graduated. I fell in love with history because of him. He's funny, and personable, he made the class very interesting. TAKE HIM!

He is a great teacher. I really didnt like US history at all before I took his class but he made it really fun and intresting. The only thing I disliked was his grading. I came to almost every class and did decent on the tests but still got a C. The tests are somewhat confusing and random.

Great instructor. Easy grader. No written work required.

I never really liked history until I took this class. As long as you take notes every class, you will be fine. You never have to memorize any dates. Awesome professor.

Bailey is one of the best professor's I have ever had. Not only is he passionate about what he teaches, he is extremely knowledgable. He explains his outlines in detail and answers all quetions thoroughly!

He is the best professor!!!! I enjoyed his class so much the way he teaches history is jus amazing... i was never ever a fan of history until I had him....PICK HIM!!!!!

Most of the tests are based off his lectures in class. He doesn't give out hand outs but he does go by an outline every class in which he leaves on the projector which is raelly helpful! He's very passionate on the subject and very helpful, has a sense of humor and incorporates stories to his lectures which makes it more fun and easy to understand

he is an amazing teacher. i loved him, he has a sense of humor and makes history fun. TAKE his class you won't regret it! his test is from his lectures so as long as you take notes your fine. At the end of his test he saves 5 questions for asking like the titles of the article from the book so you only have to flip threw the book!

Mr. Bailey is the best teacher ever!! he is very passionate about what he teaches and is great at teaching it! I am not a fan if history AT ALL but he makes it fun and interesting. i def recommend him hes great!

Professor Bailey is amazing! He keeps class interesting with his wonderful personality, & finds that humor is the best way to start an early morning class. He really keeps students updated whether it's an interesting article, or a simple blackboard assignment. Oh, & he has a cute southern accent you could listen to all day:D

Dr. Bailey is a great history teacher, he really knows his stuff! Just take good notes and do the readings he assigns. His tests can be a bit hard however. Oh, and he has the best laugh ever!! Show him that you want to succeed in his class :)

Excellent teacher! He made history interesting for me for the first time. Likes to go off on interesting tangents. Pay attention in clas, which is easy because he's so interesting, and you'll ace the tests. Do the required reading in Portraits of America so you can answer the last 10 questions on the test because he doesn't review that in class.

Fabulous instructor. Keeps the class engaged in his lectures. Very detailed. Emphasizes in his lectures what will be on the tests. Top knotch professor. His exams are difficult, as to be expected. Pay attention in class and do the required reading and you'll do well.

I really enjoyed taking Dr. Bailey's class! He was the best professor I had this year at NOVA and I'm already signed up to take another class with him in the Fall. You'll get an A for sure if you listen in class, and do the assigned reading. The tests are made up of brief straight forward questions. Highly recommend!!

Very fun class. Interesting and exciting lectures. Professor Bailey is very passionate, and gives good lectures. Tests are strictly based off the lectures. Take notes, read the "require" reading, and you'll do great.

Hmm, do I even have words to describe how AMAZING he is! By far the best professor & southern storyteller...A true genius.He wants students to succeed.His classes will open your eyes to aspects of American life you've never thought about..There are three-35 multichoise question exms,do the readings & MUST take notes!class fills quick Take him-YES!!

Dr. Bailey is an excellent teacher. Reading the assignments are a must. His class is hard, however he is a fair teacher. He has a passion for his teaching. He is truly a teacher who wants his students to learn. He is one of the best professors I have ever had the priviledge of knowing. Take his class if you wish to learn.

You have to read both textbooks to pass his class.He keeps the morning class very interesting.His lectures are on the exams and also on blackboard assignments.He is alright and you have to read alot to pass his class.

Dr. Bailey was highly recommended to me by my older sister and I pass on the recommendation. He keeps class very interesting by engaging his students in fun discussions and telling lots of stories. If you read what you're supposed to and take good notes, you'll do well on the tests!

He is the coolest teacher ever, never thought i could stay so awake during a morning class. If i wanted to stay at NOVA i would only take his classes, chili pep for sure, for teaching style atleast

He by far was one of the most amazing professors I had at NOVA. I took him for both HIS 121-122. He knows his subject very well and keeps the class interesting and fun. As long as you follow the outlines you will do great in his class.

Dr. Bailey is AMAZING. He is the best professor and his classes were an easy A for me. I haven't met such a great professor in my entire year at NVCC! I love you professor! <3

Professor Bailey is the BEST history teacher you will EVER take ANYWHERE, period!!! He is really funny, shares great stories, and makes class very interesting. As long as you attend his lectures and take notes you will do well. He also tests from the reading. Any comments dissing him are from lazy slackers who never showed up. LOVED HIS CLASS!!!

He's an awesome professor! I never got bored in class and his test are super easy. I would recommend this class to anyone who loves history.im taking defintely aking him again for 122. ps dont wear yellow in his class lol

He Rocks, he is basically George Washington reincarnated which is good considering he teaches about himself.

BEST history professor I have ever had. His exams are very easy if you study.

Great professor, really cares about his students. He has a great passion for teaching as well as history which you will see clearly from taking his class. I wish all my professors were like him, definitely one of NOVA's best.

Sincere, Funny, and one of the few professors that does what he loves, teaching. He knows it and you will too. You learn something from histroy that textbooks will never do. Tests are multiple choice with an optional essay. Highly Recommended.

An excellent teacher. Knows the material very well. Easy to follow and undertand, and easy to talk to. Likes to make jokes. Very insightfull. No homework other than reading a few things, no quizes, no projects that my class had to do, only 3 tests, 2 of which were optional. Very easy to pass, and very fun if you like history. I highley recomend him

Excellent teacher, if you show up, pay attention in class & keep up w/ the readings you'll do great! straight foward grading where you get what you put in. Mostly Lectures but they are interesting & clear, he has extensive knowledge on the subject, even if you don't like history you will enjoy them. Great guy & funny too, the HIS pof. to get

My favorite history professor ever! He lives and breathes history so you always are in for a good lecture. He doesn't give much hw, just a couple BB assignments here and there. & then three exams which are 100% based on his lectures. As long as you take notes you'll get an easy A. Definitely worth taking especially if you want to actually learn !

I HATE history, and he is honestly one of the best professors I had. He's tests are insanely easy, as long as you attend class and take notes. One of the easiest classes I've had. I definitely recommend him.

Dr. Bailey was helpful and unlike most professors taught from his knowledge of the topic, not the teachers edition of the book. He assigns minimal actual homework, just light reading. His tests are not designed to trick you and he doesn't make you remember dates. If you follow the outline and read the blackboard assignments, you'll get good grade.

He is a great professor and his class is easy. He lectures about each outline all you need to do is take notes and read the articles he assigned. He gets off topic at times but great history class i have ever taken.

One of the best professors I've ever had. I had him for His 122. Easy to follow and doesn't read straight out of a dumb text book. I have learned so much out of his class!

Best history teacher I have ever had. Genuinely nice guy who loves what he is doing. His excitement for the subject makes it easy to pay attention and he explains things so clearly so everyone understands it. The tests are multiple choice with optional essay. If you pay attention in class you shouldn't have to study but just review notes briefly.

Dr. Bailey is awesome. I love the way he teaches. I loved going to his class his knowledge about history is just amazing. This is a professor that truly loves history. Dr. Bailey has been a great inspiration. You will not regret taking his class.

Very good teacher, easy to understand a follow. No homework, only 3 tests, two of which are optional. No paper, no orals, etc. Very easy teacher, and the lectures are fun and interesting.

Dr. Bailey is extremely easy to understand. I never take notes but i'm on a solid A+ in that class. His tests are easy and he s such a funny man and has a peculiar laughter. If you want to have a fun and efficient class, Dr. Bailey is your man. even though he seems strict on the 1st day.

Pretty easy class only 3 tests. No homework or essays. Lecture are interesting and pretty straight forward.

If you show up and listen, not even closely, you will pass. He is very clear and easy to understand, has a fun sense of humor, never asks you for little unimportant facts, and is overall really easy if you come to his class. very little outside work.

Great teacher. All tests are based directly on information given from his lectures. Three total tests. Only the final is mandatory. The two other tests are optional. This professor loves the material he teaches which makes it fun. He is very knowledgeable as well, and he has a great sense of humor. He's awesome. TAKE HIS CLASS!

His tests were easy to take. They were based from his lectures and told exactly what to expect from the tests. He is very interesting and tries to make the concepts we are learning about apply to our time and age. I would definitely take him.

He is very nice. Class attendance is a must. If you take notes then tests are easy. Before tests I would read over my notes for an hour and I got an A on every one. Very little work. If you attend class you could do without textbook, if not ur gonna need it.

First off you would be a complete idiot not to take any class that Dr. Bailey teaches. My friends and I took his 121 course and he saw how bad we wanted to stick with his class and learn the material that he gave us the best possible grade !! I can honestly say that I learned history and heard a few cool story to go along with it !! TAKE HIM

One of the better teachers. If you take notes and read them then you will do good.

The best professor at NVCC. He tries to get his students interested in the topic. Test are straight forward. He is very approachable and has great stories. He is an amazing professor that wants all of his students to do well.

Not hard to get an A or B in his class. No homework at all, just read the articles he posts on blackboard. His tests are based off the notes. There are 2 tests and the final. The first 2 tests are optional, the final is mandatory. Overall, he's a great professor.

Professor Bailey is an amazing teacher and a handsome older gentleman to boot. He tells plenty of funny stories and jokes to break up the class, and if you take notes you will do fine. His test are straight forward with no tricks. He made me love going to class.

Lectures are boring (but i did have him at 8 am. He teaches everything that is on the exam, no more and no less. He tells you what notes to write and what to study. Not much homework. If you don't pass this class, its because you didn't do anything

I just wanted to say this is THE BEST NOVA Professor I've ever had. Class are lectures, but he adds humor to it so you are always engaged. He teaches EXACTLY what will be on the test. There are 2 optional tests throughout the semester and 1 mandatory final. Go to all the classes and you'll get an A. BTW he's a movie buff and loves The Walking Dead!

Dr.Bailey is a great professor. The classes are all lectures so you better attend and take good notes. As long as you do that, you will ace his class. I would definitely take more classes taught by him in the future.

Great teacher, he cares about his students and always has a good sense of humor. He keeps the class interesting, homework is very minimal, mostly short readings on black board, exams are all multiple choice and as long as you attend class and take notes you should be fine, will highly recommend, I will be taking him again for sure! TAKE HIM!!

Professor Bailey is great! He loves what he teaches. He has a great sense of humor and is always to crack jokes to the class. As long as you take good notes, you'll ace his exams. He makes you read a couple of online articles for homework and that's it. I definitely recommend taking this class. I'm taking him for HIS 122!

One of the best Professors I've ever had. I've never been more interested in learning about history in all my life. Very insightful, keeps your attention, and so easy going.

perfect

This man is the definition of a teacher. He gives you a real education. Sometimes he goes on rants because he is actually telling you the full story about history, and he keeps it interesting so it's all good. Overall, all you have to do is take good notes and read them over for the tests. He is pretty funny and overall a great teacher! Take him!!

Best Professor ever! take his class!

I am almost through my first full semester at NOVA and I've come to the conclusion that Dr. Bailey is my favorite professor I've had so far!! This man is one of the most hilarious individuals I've met!! He tells very funny jokes and is very smart with history. Also, he is a huge baseball fan!! He is the only professor I'd recommend for HIS 121!!

He is probably the best teacher i have ever had. He not only teaches you history but he makes jokes and give some good advice. He knows a lot of historians and has wrote his own book, but he isn't pompous about it. Great GREAT! Professor! You should take him if you get the chance.

I've taken Dr. Bailey for two semesters now. He is a GREAT professor. He makes history class enjoyable. He's funny and loves to crack jokes. His lectures aren't boring at all, he keeps them interesting. If you take good notes, you should be able to pass his class. It's not hard at all. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!!!!

His class is very easy to take if you attend it every day. There are only 3 tests, and two of them are optional. I took only two tests, and I passed with flying colors. He gives you study guides and tells you what will be on the test. Impossible to fail his class. You can tell he loves to teach! :)

Great professor! I had no interest the subject, I just needed the credit, but I was pleasantly surprised with the class. He makes the information relivant, and is extremely knowledgable in his field. It's easy to keep up as long as you go to class, and it's not time consuming outside of class. His effort to be bipartisan is aslo very refreshing!

Dr. Bailey is very passionate about History and you can tell he loves to teach. His lectures are interesting, never boring. As long as you show up to class and write good notes, you should be able to pass with flying colors. I've taken him for 2 semesters and received an A in both classes. Hands down one of the best professors at NOVA :)

Bailey is probably the best professor at NOVA. His lectures are interesting, not boring at all. I really enjoyed the class, take him its worth it!

Dr. Bailey is such a great professor. He''s lectures are far from boring... EVEN AT 8 am. Take him if you want an A but you better take good notes Some test questions are from the textbook so make sure you purchase and read the sections that he assigns too.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Interesting & well organized lectures that give you a sense of connection to the past. Heavy note-taking: show up for class or you miss a lot of material. Assignments are short, relevant, & interesting. Tests are multiple choice, & as long as you review your notes, they're easy. Fantastic class.

By far the best professor I've had at Nova, the class never feels like a lecture. There's about 20 minutes a week of reading via black board. He hates trick questions, if you read the blackboard assignments & show up to class you can easily get a perfect grade.

He's a very intelligent man. His style of teaching makes history fun! Expect to do some reading and lots of note taking. No homework or quizzes. Just 3 exams.

Dr. Bailey was an outstanding professor!!!! He is so interesting, and was so enjoyable -- even at 8 am. TAKE HIM! Not just for the A, but for the experience. You are going to need your book because pulls questions from there for the tests.

I really enjoyed Professor Bailey's lectures and feel that I learned a lot in this class. It will be more beneficial if you participate in class discussion, but i don't think being quiet will hurt the experience.

Dr. Bailey is an amazing professor! Take him! The class is so easy. All you need to do is to show up and listen. He makes the class interesting and meaningful.

Best class hands down. If you don't take good notes, you won't pass his exams. No homework, 2 exams and 1 final is it. I would take it again. The exams are directly from his notes.

Really down to earth professor. Loves to tell stories about his family. Doesn't use power points, you have to pay attention to what he says and the tests are exactly what he says they'll be. Tests are the only grades in the class so must pay attention and study

He is a great professor that know how to incorporate his lecture on a subject so that it will be relate to today current event. His lecture is good and as long as you attend class and take notes then you will ace his exams. Will take him again for U.S History part 2 in the falls, can't wait. :)

Professor Bailey genuinely cares about his students. He makes an effort to learn your name and include you in his lectures. His tests are really easy if you listen to him. Barely used the textbook. There are 3 grades: 2 optional tests & one mandatory final. If you need help, he's there for you. real sympathetic. Great professor, easy class.

No hw, BUT because of that your grade is solely based on 3 tests. 2 optional and 1 final. It is not an easy A. if you think you are just going to show up & pass you thought wrong. Take good notes and make sure you do the reading. Black board assignments are also very important. He is very nice and reasonable. He's also very humorous.

Professor Bailey is a great professor! I have never liked history classes, but he made them more entertaining. Assignments are just reading articles on blackboard, which aren't bad at all and are also not graded, but I highly recommend reading them because they show up on tests. There are only 3 grades in the class, 2 optional tests & a final.

Dr. Bailey is one of those rare and amazing teachers that you'll always remember. His approach is more focused on the concepts and important ideas that helped to shape the United States instead of your typical regurgitation of dates and names. His lectures truly are great so missing them is a disadvantage. Tests are on scantron and multiple choice.

This guy is the most amazing professor ever. This is the second time I have taken him and it is still fun. I have a hard time with history and he kinda helps. The only issue you might have is that he goes off on stories, most of the time they have to do with the class but a few might not be. Overall good professor.

Do not take any other professor! Bailey for president! Seriously, this mans a genuine genius. Great class, easy learning, and he helps students to understand history from the past and relate's it to the present. Best professor at Manassas Campus

He has a fantastic lecture. I hate history, but I loved his class and the way he taught history. He did not use any boring PowerPoints, just lectures and he sticks to the outline material. He focuses on major points that helped shape the United States into where it is today and he keeps you interested with stories and how he relates to real life.

Dr. Bailey is a great professor. He really does have a passion for teaching. He really does a great job at making sure everyone is caught up and is following his lectures. He makes history interesting and not dull and boring. I would recommend him to anyone. I would definitely take his class again.

great teacher. two tests, each are 25% of your grade, final is 40% of your grade. he gives study guides on blackboard that help out a lot.

Dr. Bailey is a great professor! Took him for HIS 121 as well. Really sparked my interest in History. Lectures are not boring power points, but are very clear to understand. That being said, show up, listen to the lecture, do blackboard assignments and you can expect to pass the class!

Great history person. Although he does not do any activities in classes, his lectures are just amazing. If you pay attention to his lectures and write down good notes, you will definitely get an A for his class. Test questions are straight from the lectures. I absolutely love this professor!

Dr. Bailey is a fantastic professor. He is so alive with character, and even if you have a 3 hour night class, he still keeps the energy up. He only has 3 tests and that's it. No homework. There are reading assignments to do but they are super easy. I loved this class so much I'm taking him again for an elective credit.

Just an all around great learning experience. History has not been expressed to me in such a clear and knowledgeable manner before taking Bailey. He's got a good balance of off topic stories, lectures and uses a lot of examples that get you involved in the discussion. One of the Nova greats for sure.

He was one of the best professors I have ever had and I would definitely take him again! He has a very great personality and isn't afraid to crack jokes. Two tests, and a final. Very minimal homework, all there is are online reading assignments.

One of the best professor I've had in my two years at Nova. If you need to take a history course, take his. History 121 or 122. Hardly uses the book and his tests are easy as long as you study. Doesn't bore you with all his talking and is willing to help you if you ask. Keeps lectures fun by using current world examples.

Class consist of 3 tests all multiple choice and optional essay, and going on to blackboard was a must. Texts were fair he gave us someone's notes from last semester which helped ALOT. Would not say this class is easy you MUST work for your grade.

Great teacher with an amazing teaching style. Explains everything perfectly and makes it very interesting. This guy gets it. Best experience at NOVA.

Dr. Bailey is really great teacher, his lectures aren't boring. You can pass the class by attending class and logging on to do the blackboard assignments (these are important but not hard). His lectures are straight forward and so are his tests.

Professor Bailey is absolutely amazing!!! HIs test are straight forward from the notes and outline. There are no surprises and make sure to check blackboard and do the assignments! But I would highly recommend taking him!!

He is the nicest professor ever. Yes he has long lectures but its all for the notes. study hard and always do his blackboard questions. show effort and dont miss class show that you care and effort and he will help you out.

Dr. Bailey was a more than fantastic professor for me. Going into one of my first classes in college, I expected a stereotypical mean, tough professor; Dr. Bailey definitely was not. 2 tests and a final, very easy if you take notes in class. His lectures are informational and he loves to make jokes throughout. I would definitely recommend him!

Awesome teacher, he makes history fun and enjoyable, he teaches it like a story rather than just plain facts and dates.

The best Doctor instructor ever !!!I took two of his classes since I enjoyed him so much. I even told my girlfriend to take his class and she is too enjoying his lectures.

Dr. Bailey is extremely entertaining and lectures in a way that makes you remember the information. I love history and listening to his lectures is like story time - you're always going to learn something fascinating and important!

Tests are based entirely off notes pretty much. Absolutely wonderful professor and I can say without a doubt that he has the most amazing way of making his lectures entertaining.

Dr. Bailey is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students' well-being and has a great sense of humor. As long as you do all of the assignments and take the time to study for each test, you are bound to pass with an A. Also, as others have stated he does have a tendency to call out students' names at random. Listen to what he has to say!

Dr. Bailey is an amazing Professor. I highly recommend taking his classes. I did very well in his classes, i also like history in general. Plus he does not have you memorizes dates! He calls out on students during class but only to keep the lecture going. If you're reading this Dr. Bailey thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!! so much repect

Best Professor i have experienced.

Dr. Bailey is a great professor. His lectures are very entertaining. Do all the blackboard assignments (which are small readings and short videos) and review your notes before the test and you'll be fine.

Best professor. The only reason not to take his class is if you can't take tests because they are the majority of our grade. But the tests are pretty easy and straight forward.

Amazing professor, a genius at what he does and passionate about it too. His lectures keep you engaged the entire time and he's never boring. Just show up as notes are critical to success. But showing up to his class isn't a chore. Would definitely reccomend.

So amazing!! His class is so easy if you like lectures.. the whole class is him standing up front but he is so interesting and makes it not boring that the time will fly by. His tests are SO easy and there is NO homework other then reading posts on Blackboard. He is the best and easiest college class ever!

Prof. Bailey is a brilliant man who really knows his subject matter. His classes are mostly lecture, and your grade is mostly made out of test grades. The textbook was said to be required but only needed 3 chapters as extra reading for the test. With good note-taking, the tests aren't that hard. Definitely recommend taking him!

I took Dr. Bailey for HIS 101 and he was an awesome professor. So, I decided to take him again and it was totally worth it because he's very straightforward about what will be covered over the semester and you can easily contact him outside of class if needed. He also has a great sense of humor and friendly personality. I'm going to miss him.

Great professor! He was never boring, always had jokes. His tests are right from his lectures. If you pay attention you'll do fine on the tests. Definitely recommend.

I had Dr. Bailey for HIS 121 in the auditorium. Most understanding, funny, caring and amazing professor you'll ever have. His lectures consist of him talking, as long as you take good notes and do the BB assignments then you'll pass w/ an easy A, no doubt. I'm not interested in HIS but he made it interesting. Don't wait, TAKE HIM!

By far the bet professor I've ever encountered. This man knows his stuff well and recites his lectures like stories. He uses Black Board heavily, and provides a comprehensive note-taking style that I use in my other classes as well. He is VERY responsive to his students and cares about them.

He gives good lectures but doesnt have power points to go with it. Also doesnt give review sheets. But if you just listen and take notes throughout class youll do fine on the exams! Theres no quizzes or papers either! But there are regular small blackboards reading assignments. There are 3 Exams multiple choic and thats it So do well on them!

Dr. Bailey wants all his students to succeed in his class! He is very understanding and a great teacher! He makes history super fun to learn! He is very easy to understand and his tests are really straight forward! Attendance is necessary in order to do well in class and have all the information you need for tests! Read all Blackboard Assignments!!

Dr. Bailey was one of my favorite professors this semester! He is lecture heavy and only talks off an outline (no powerpoints/handouts). As long as you listen and take good notes, you will pass! The ONLY grades are 3 exams, but if you're close to the next letter grade, he'll make your final exam grade count for more towards the final to bump it up

He is the best professor .just take him you will never regret . His lecture is amazing and you understand everything in the class . He will give you 3 exams and 10 questions in exams are from blackboard assignment thats easy. His lectures are really interesting not boring at all.

Dr. Bailey is the best professor I've ever experienced. He lectures every class, but he makes them relevant and funny. You get graded by 3 exams only, so show up to take good notes and you'll pass. This guy knows his stuff. You're missing out if you don't take his class.

While he does mostly lecture they are good lectures. He keeps you involved and he will say he calls on people awkwardly because he does but it does keep you focused. He shows a clear understanding and passion for history which to me makes his classes enjoyable. Just take notes and you'll be good to go.

One of the best professors I've had! He mainly lectures, along with some short online readings, but he keeps class interesting and relevant. His passion for history makes what we're learning feel important and makes class enjoyable. His tests are not very hard if you listen and take notes in class.

Best history prof. in NOVA!!! Didn't take HIS121 and didn't know anything about the subject but he makes it so easy to understand. His exam questions are straight from his lectures so as long as you take good notes** and read blackboard assignments** you'll pass easy. He will tell you exactly what will be on his exams! Lectures are fun, not boring.

I took 121&122 with him over the fall. Simply a great lecturer! He gave 3 exams over the semester, all multiple-choice questions and I believe 2 of them had optional essays, but he'll count your essay as part of the grade and not as extra credit so I never done them. If you attend regularly and skim through the Blackboard assignments you'll be fine

He was amazing! He made history fun and entertaining, something not many people can do. He always has funny stories and jokes. Three tests in total, and those are the only grades. If you're looking for a homework cushion I do not recommend Dr. Bailey, but that is the only reason I would tell someone not to take his class.

Dr. Bailey is the best DR there is. He is a top of the line type of man and teaches with passion. He only grades you on 3 test and one assignment. He takes attendance up until the drop date then if you show up after and he takes attendance its for extra points. 45% of his tests are topics of blackboard assignments he gives throughout the semester.
