He is a good teacher, but what it really boils down to is that you should read your textbook before his tests and you won't have any problem. In other words study you won't get anything for free in this world.

Very easy. All tests/quizzes usually take home.

very easy!!!!!!!!!!1

i had him for the first part of US history. he's not the easiest teacher, but as long as you try, come to class, and study the slightest bit, you'll pass. he's kind of a dprk, but a nice guy.

He is very good with information.

This was a good experience. He likes for us to write, which helps me.

This Prof' lets us make up stuff if we miss. His extra credit is going to museums and such, so I can do well in his class even when I have to miss. He has been good to me and likes my ideas when we talk about history.

I took Mr. Field in the Spring. He was a very good instructor and was knowledgable in that subject. He was not just reading the book, but tried to show us how history had many ways to be thought of. I didn't always get his humor, but he is very smart and fair.

Mr. Fields is really into his history stuff. I did not want to take history but he made it better than I expected. Fields wants wrting on essays but does not hurt the grade over grammar which is good for someone not from US like me.

Excellent teacher, Mr. Field offers a class of history knowledge. He makes history interest and enjoyable. If I had the chance to take his class twice, I would. Two tumbs up for this Professor.

As long as you read the book on your own and can comprehend then you will be fine. He can be a little boring but only if your not really into history. If you love reading and history take him...

VERY INTERESTING!!! Mr. Field has informative and hilarious lectures. I understand history in a way I never understood before! I might consider switching majors because of Mr. Field. His extra credit assignments offer every student the opportunity to ace this course. TAKE HIS COURSE!!!

mr.field is a wonderful professor whom i take every chance i get.he is a very intellegent man.

very easy and cool!!

really easy class to pass.

It amazes me that people in this class actually dropped or failed. This was a very easy class. Tests were take home. He was very clear and had very interesting history stories to tell. Very interesting professor.

VERY EASY CLASS EVERY THING IS TAKE HOME...

VERY EASY CLASS. HE DOESN'T NOTICE IF YOUR GONE, BUT PLEASE DON'T SHOW UP LATE AND INTERRUPT! HE HATES IT AND HE CAN GET RUDE. HE GIVES TAKE HOME TEST & QUIZZES WHICH IS COOL. HE GOES OFF SUBJECT ALOT, HE KNOWS HIS HISTORY, BUT HONESTLY I DIDN'T LEARN MUCH BUT IF YOU NEED AND EASY PASS THIS IS IT!!!!!

Mr. Field will not only teach you about history but life too. He loves to talk about life in general, easily side tracked. He's hilarious, offers so much extra credit, you don't have to take the final. I really enjoyed taking his class. Learned a lot about history because he explains it in terms for young people to be interested. Take his class!!!!

talks alot,it was boring to me probably because I don't like history. No homework or in-class work. Things you learned back in high school,attendance is not important,just be there when he gives out the test. All test are take home test,so they're open book test,Final exam is a research paper,but is a very easy grader,he's usually late. EASY class!

Outstanding instructor,if you listen to his lectures you will learn, this gentleman knows his American History, not one boring moment in his class,besides he will always keep the class laughing,I recommand that if you want to learn about American History take his class..OUTSTANDING....

Must be to class ON TIME!!! Easy "A" as long as you complete the test and quizzes (about 6 total) not much homework, only one book report. He gives a lot of extra credit chances. He is unorganized and does not follow the syllabus. If you miss class it's easy to get lost, but he will respond to e-mails very quickly.

MR. FIELD IS A GREAT PROF...HE KNOWS HIS HISTORY N LECTURES PLENTY ON IT, BUT HE ALSO TENDS TO GET SIDE TRACKED...I ENJOYED BEING IN HIS CLASS..HE'S COOL, HILARIOUS, YET DOES A GOOD JOB ON HIS TEACHING...

MR. FIELD IS VERY HUMOROUS AND WITTY. I RECOMMEND THIS CLASS IF YOU DONT LIKE HISTORY AND YOU WANT TO PASS FOR SURE. HE GIVES LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT!HE GETS OFF TRACK A LOT, BUT THAT GIVES U TIME TO DO OTHER STUFF IF UR NOT INTERESTED.ALL TESTS N QUIZES R TAKE HOME. EASY!

Rex field is a great teacher, and if you can't pass his class you're no better than a monkey. Not even the smarter monkeys, more like the runt of family who struggles peeling bananas. Showing up is like 80% of the battle. If you can do that, and with a tiny bit of magic, you monkeys out there will pass.

VERY EASY CLASS, AND EXCELENT TEACHER. HE TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, DONT REALLY ENEV NEED TO BUY A TEXT BOOK. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE.

If you want an easy A, this is the best professor you could possibly have. If you truly want to learn about History, you might want another professor. A very nice guy, though.

He's all right if you want to pass, he does get off subject alot and you have to listen carefully about which chapter to read, but you'll pass if you read the book

So easy...easy a...easy to get along with...nice guy.

easy A .......very boring gets off subjects a lot but very easy class corny jokes but he's cool.... hates obama a lot for some reason but if u want an A take him

eaaaaaaaaaaasssssssyyyy!!!!!take home quizs and test ! easy easy A . cooool and funny guy

VERY EASY IF YOUR SERIOUSE ABOUT PASSING. YOU NEED TO BUY TWO TEXT BOOKS. DONT ASK A QUESTION WHEN HES ALREADY EXPLAINED IT HE DOES NOT LIKE REPEADING HIMSELF.

Fields is very into his thing. I liked his style, let us talk about anything. Easy to get him off track when we talked about other things, but he's a good guy. Was kind to me when I had trouble with an essay, let me do it again. I do like history more since I took his class.

I was not want to add thought in "rate," but I was surprised to read some bad on this teacher. I just returned to school, mother with 3 kids. Mr. Field talked to me and made me interested. He sent me to museums for extra credit work, or else I would not have gotten an A. Someone said easy class, but I don't think so! I'm older, though,maybe why.

Mr. Field is a wonderful Professor. I will admit that he tends to get off track but if you are really intrested in the subjuct it is very easy to bring him back . He has a very relaxed teahing style but he wants he students to resd the assignments and engage in a group discussion in clas this applies to all his classes,

Mr. Field is a good teacher.This was my second history class in college and he is by far the best in this subject. I knew nothing of Maya or early native people before. I have registered for 1302 with him and hope it goes as well. He talks to every student (not always nice to some who mess round!) and is all over the classroom.Old fashioned ideas.

Loved the section on the Maya. Mr. Field clearly enjoys teaching *that* topic. This was a very interesting class! (Lots of extra credit opportunities if grades slip.)

Easy class! I like the monkey comment. :P I feel bad for his family though. Stop talking about them, Mr. Field! But the extra credit and the take-home quizes make me love this class. And there's field trips! Who doesn't love field trips? :)

Mr. Fields is one of the more interesting professors at Pal Alto. I have come back after some years away and started college again. He is definitely more interesting than what I remembered from teachers here before. Maybe I'm just older, but I truly like history now. He took us to a mission , had us write about it. Very good teacher.

Awesome teacher

Lots of extra credit opportunities. Uses main text book a lot, and a only once the workbook. Great guy who loves history and teaching it. Easy A for me, but could be tougher for those who usually need extra help in this area. He does TRY to help those who ASK for help, though. I saw many who never turned in homework, and expected to be given breaks

He is an awesome instructor. Sure, he goes off topic and he can be offensive to some people but he is not targeting any one person or group of people. He is fair and will help anyone who talks to him about it. Open book exams, lots of extra credit, a few short essays and one 10-page essay (which you know about the first day)

Easy A,take home exams,lots of extra credit,a few short essays and one 5 page essay due on the last day of class

This Professor knows his stuff when he is talking about the subject. 90% of the time he will go off on a tangent and talks about his travels etc. Interesting stories. Books are required but not necessary since all quiz answers can be obtained online. Easy A if you were to ingage him in conversation even unrelated to history.

He will call you out, and he doesnt care. He is full of himself. but if you go to class and take notes you should be fine!

Cooler than a polar bears toe-nails... Yes, hey may go off on a tangent but the information is still very relevant and informative. He does allow others to provide their points of view but will make sure you understand his. take home tests are a plus and the paper was easy breezy. I'll take him again in a heartbeat n has definitly recommended him

Very nice and easy to listen to. Goes of the subject, but has very interesting stories. I would recommend him since it's been 30 yrs sine I've been in school. What I like was going off campus and going to he missions very interesting and he knows alot about the construction on the building at the missions.

Great Professor. He does go off subject quite a bit. never takes roll. do tests at home with book. a few essays and a 5 pg book analysis as a final exam. Talk to him, get to know him, he likes that. EASY!!!

Easy class. Need to buy two books, doesnt matter the edition like other classes. He wants you to save $$ I bought my book on amazon for 1.99 never takes roll. easy xtra credit. take home exams. easy essays. 5pg book analysis as final exam. no homework. watch short history films in class, write 2 or 3 sentances on what struck you the most EASY!!!

Great teacher was very helpul. would take his class again.

get off subect a tab bit but i really enjoyed his class very funny teacher.

Real leniant. Doesn't care about attendance. Test and quizes online. Real cool guy too.

all take home tests and quizes, very easy

HE GETS OFF TOPIC A LOT AND TALKS ABOUT OTHER STUFF, AS LONG AS YOU SHOW UP YOU CAN PASS HIS CLASS

You have to be thick skin & not take his opinion personnally. Speak up if you have questions or comments. Take-home test took time to do but you learn more researching beyond the book. His teaching style is unique. Read chapters, show up for class, take notes, complete test & essay, and you'll pass with an A. Listening in class is easy.

He is a great story teller for history. If you listen to his lecture and take notes you'll hear many answers to the questions on the quizes and exams. Participation is encourage after all everyone has a story to tell in history.

What the heck is with these bad ratings? Mr Field was a wonderful person! He was so energetic. He really loved talking about history! Whenever something was going on with me, I would talk to him about it and he always was there for me. He's a little bias to the right, but he still respect's your opinions. I have the utmost respect for him!

I liked this class because he does not force you to participate in class discussion. Quizzes and tests are really easy.

Hmmm... Well he is a good teacher... but he is not. It is tough to say. He will add his own opinions and often will get off topic but he does have a strong passion for History. Many times he showed up late for class by about 12min. He gives magic point (Extra credit). Also if you are a Democratic who voted for Obama... He is an open Obama hater.

really knowledgeable. lots of fun.

He talked so fast he was difficult to understand.

Talks a lot. Has good stories. Take home open book tests. Many readings to use during tests.

I thoroughly enjoyed his class he is great and very talkative if you answer questions and do extra credit you'll pass.

I had to take both World History classes and took Mr. Field for each. I really really needed to get these out of the way for Education degree. He helped out with the extra credit, but I think I would have gotten an A anyways. I don't like working on a 10 page paper, but I did learn from it!

He covers lots of stuff, but I could understnd it all because he makes it all interesting. I usually don't like history, but he made me take an interest. He let me bring my two kids to class when I was out a babysitter, he seems to do anything to help you get through the coarse, even bring your kids if you have to

Took Mr. Fields last year for world 2, like him, smart guy, so came back for world 1. I did it to save money instead of taking it at A&M. Professors at PAC are great. Only guy I know who adopted a highway, lets us pick up trash and get points. Have to complete a long paper, but he lets us pick a subject to work with.

Great lecturing, very knowledgeable. I don't always agree with hs politics though. Like the different way presents on screen. He helped me out when grade not so good.

I took Mr. Fields Cause needed this class at four school, but cheaper here. Liked his world 2 so came back to his world 2. He is not so patient with lazies, but ok by me.

A girl in class was saying we should rate him on this page. We took him for the other part and so took Mr. Field again since we know him and like his ways. I needed the extra credit and he let us use it to up our grade. I had some trouble with the writing, but the extra credit always fixed it. He made roll a rule, but didn't cut me for missing.

Since I had to pass the World II for my major I took Mr. Field. In the World class he taught kind of different from the American I took with him. We went to museums through the semester to see objects from times that we studied. I liked that, even though it was a pain getting to places downtown. I enjoy his lessons, he has knowledge.

I think this was my favorite class, though I'm not always a history person. I did well because I enjoyed going to hear the lecture. He knows that stuff and gets some of us involved. He makes us write more than I want, but he grades by giving lots of breaks.

Where to start! I love this guy's lectures and his crazy politics. Professor sure gets some students class upset! I neede that extra credit to get an a iN the class, so I did like that part of his deal most of all. I wil catch him again in the first part if they let me.

Professor Fields brought me along, kinda got me to like history, and Ieven did ptrtty well. He never forced dates and like that on us, but made his lecture a living story. I don't want to write papers, but atleast he helped me get it done and a smoking grade. Wish I had take him for first part.

I talked to another student about the Professor. We both figure the best thing he id for our time was give us a chance to makeup some slipped up days with extra credit. The Professor was good with his lecturing, but I really like getting a break because I can't make every class. He gives us time to get the tests done online, thank goodness.

The difficulty with describing such a professor is the lengthy list of good things to say with so little space given here. Briefly, Mr. Fields is interesting, well informed, and truly loves his discipline. He was very helpful to me outside class when I need recommendations. He is genuinely caring, a great asset.

My Sister took Professor Field and got me to take his class. We will take his other American class to complete our Ameircan History requirement. He was very interesting and helped me with understanding and also writing about History. He brings up todays issues, and some politics. He wants us to talk back, or even argue. I enjoy that.

The adviser said I need World History for my degree so I took Professor Field. I'm so glad I did, learned plenty! He was always interesting, and he helped me with the work, walked me to the A . I appreciate his way of instructing and having us work out answers in class, though I know some don't like that!

Tough semester, only third here at Palo Alto. Like some, dislike some. Like Prof Fields lots. Let me do work outide class, job took some days away. Outstanding lecture giver, got plenty from the class. Wish I had registered w/ Prof Field for other course took last year.

He's great. Finally got a Prof' I can agree with on politics, too. I want to take him again if I can get into a World he teaches. Mr. Field is sort of quirky, but a good teacher and actaully helped me out on a couple of low grades.

I love the chili thing. OK, he should get that chili!

Ha ha! I can try to be specific, but that's hard with Professor Fields. He's kinda all over, but I sure do like his style whatever that is. He does insult some students when they don't get with it, but that's funny to me. Wish I had him in 1301.

Love this guy!

Interesting, engaging. Had to get this class out of the way to complete degree. Mr. Fields made this a good experience. Glad I took his class.

Mr. Fields is an interesting prof, though he gets a little strange with politics. I like the main paper assignment, got me to read a A BOOK, yeah! I idid pretty good with it, too.

I didn't think I was going to like the class, but Mr. Field made this subject better and more tolerable than I figured it would be. I actually got to liking the classes. Mr. Field was ok with the grading, but he pulled stuff from his lectures, so had to keep up with what he was saying. Funny how he tried to get me to talk, and I did!

Thank you Mr. Fields! Finally a course I could sit through and use my head. I needed that "back and foith" (even if our chats irritated the other students). I still say you need to include more about women's history, but you didn't stop me form prying, so that's ok! I wish I had taken Mr. Fields for the first part.

I liked Professor's way of teaching, but even though he said we had to attend he didn't really seem to keep a roll much. I wish I had been in a smaller class with him, always lots of people being distracting. He was a great lecture giver and I really started to like history after a while. I hope to get him again for World I since I need it too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Fields!!!

Appreciated!!! I dropped my last Texas History at SAC, came here to try Mr. Fields cause I had him in 1301. He is the best! Let me turn in extra credit so I could get a decent grade. I wouldn't take anyone else for this class.

Fields is a good teacher, learned a lot . I had another history class with plenty of dates on the board, but he even said "no dates," we are gonna think about people. I needed this for a really aggravating semester I had. Fields was a break for me. I had to miss cause of work, he really cut me some slack.

Been needing this class, hated doing it again cause took it before. Fields made it work for me, got me interested. I'm going to get good grades if class keeps going with quizzes and tests like so far. He let me do extra to raise it. Very glad I'm in Fields class.

Gotta say I find his politics funny. Not many conservative sorts among my teachers here, but enjoy his views. Ties his stuff into all things world. Lets anyone else give a veiw. I need this class, didn't want to take it till now, but getting lots from it.

1. Extra credit. 2. gives a break on the grade, let me convince him of higher grade 3. knew I worked, didn't go crazy when I had to miss World.

I got to use Mr. Feild's xtra credit score choices to actually pass this class. I must complete both History classes and he teaches well plus let me do some things to get my grade up. I had to drop this course before, so I'll take him for the second part and get history behind me.

Professor Field covered lots of stuff, was interesting. He did make dry jokes to students coming in late and leaving early, could be insulting, but made me kinda laugh. I wasn't sure about his term paper but he helped me in his office, kinda got him to maybe almost do it for me. Was glad I took his class, got good grade what counts most to me.

hes an amazing man he dont give tough work at all, he asks for the text books but dwe dont need them. He is grumpy but nice. This is by far the easiest history class that i had to take. I really recommend you to take him. He gives easy work, and he dont really ask for too much.

Professor Fields knows his Texas things. I tried to take this course before at SAC, teacher was mean grader so dropped. Fields gave me some breaks and I actually enjoyed his course, learned lots abbout San Antonio also. Fields got couple of students upset, they always get late and he raked them coming in. Funny to me.I got good grade, great prof

Good guy, lose with the attendance, but that was good for me and work. I don't normally like those night classes,but he kept things moving. He has weird ideas, but I liked his teaching, though some guys hated him making us read lots. I needed the reading to get it, so all good.

Thank goodness for PAC! I had to go over to St. Philips, then SAC to do my degreestuff. I had to drop those history classes cause had to take the first part. Already had second part. Mr. Fields got me through this, he gives such breaks if you just do his work. Even lets me argue with him over the other modern day stuff. PAC prof's good people.

Thank you Mr. Fields! I didn't pass this class at my other college. The extra credit got me a high grade. Great class.

Personable and knows his material.

Professor Fields is very active for sure. He moves all around the chairs and I know guys in here hate that, but I like it, keeps me focused. I will win a good grade in this one I think since I'm following Fields and his lectures. Wish he wouldn't put up so much to read, but that's college I guess. I will take him again for the second history.

I felt quite challenged in Mr. Fileds class. I didnt particularly like the first part of World, but I liked Mr. Fiields approach and wish I had had him for the first part. He ties the material together and the research assignment was. A real benefit to me.

What keeps me from giving him a 5 is that he constantly goes off topic from his lectures. He gives a hand full of quizzes and exams for his course along with a 5 page book report. He gives alot of extra credit that he applies to the final. But be warned hes a no nonsense type of professor.

Thank you Mr. Fields. The extra credit Mr. Fields allows gave me a real chance for a high grade. He helped me with the paper, told me how I could get an A with redo. I took this course at SAC twice. But here did better than pass, got the A. Thanks again Mr. Fields!

Mr. Field is a caring professor. I signed up with him for HIST1301-1302. I made an A both times I took his course. He expects you to read the chapters and articles he posts. He then goes over the information he wants you to retain. He lets you do extra credit papers (as many as you want) and is accomodating. He is great and understands.

I appreciate getting thorough this at Palo Alto with Mr. Fields. Couldn't quite get it right last two tries at tother college. Thanks for the extra creditMr. Fields.

Three things: Firstly Fields let me make up assignments with extra credit because I had to work and miss the night class. Secondly he gave lots of warning on the quiz and time to those done so work was ok that way too. Thirdly that final was only on the last gobs read for the the class so Fields test didn't wipe me out.

Mr. Field is a great teacher!
