Very tough, lots of material to memorize, constant lecturing, 4 tests, no papers to write, At least 100 names dates people or facts to know for each test while only 25 are chosen. Easy to pass, you can retake each test, knowing the 25 on it, for a C.

4 hard tests,no pop quizzes, lots of material, but nice and interesting teacher. You know exactly the questions on the tests.It gets easier after the first test.

he knows his stuff. it's alot of memorizing. if your good at it, you'll do well. he's relatively interesting. he gives you all info. needed for the test. acting like your interested will help. ask ?'s after or during class.

Can be very boring at times, do NOT put your head down let alone fall asleep or feel his wrath. lots of memorizing, 4 tests all lecturing lots of homework. very consistent.

good teacher if you like lectures and can memorize things

He really isn't all that bad. If you attend class, take notes, and do the assignments (which aren't even required) you will do fine. The bad comments are obviously by lazy people. You MUST attend class to pass it. This isn't something to take as an easy way out, but it is not that difficult.

he is very opinionated and teches the class with passion

Prof. Daugherty teaches his class with great passion! He knows his history very well. He is always willing to help if you need it. I would take his class again.

oh my god! keeps you the entire time, but does ALLOW a 15 min. break. he doesn't move from podium. you will write&write&write; no recording allowed. tests very hard, unless you can memorize list 25 terms + endless pages of notes. if u stay, get on his good side. you repeat the same lectures 40yrs, you'd be good too. he shames u of m/his alma mater.

He is a good person with an exterior that is not so welcoming. I learned a lot from his class and enjoyed it throroughly, but many did not. He's cynical and easily irritated. He was the first professor that truely complimented me and took an interest im me as a student. I was flattered. He told me that I belonged at UofM, well so does he!!

I had to work very hard to pass this class and it was so hard to memorize all the terms he gives, lectures were a little dry, but he is very intellegent, I learned a lot, but be prepared to work VERY HARD he definetly does not give multiple choice tests all ESSAY

Not too bad of proff. . .the man knows his****! damn. . .went on for an hour about Teddy Roosevelt.. . .over all a good class, NOT FOR SOMEONE looking for a blow off class. . .just dont go to the bathroom in the middle of lecture and be ready to write. . .other than that hes not too bad

This is the best teacher, you will learn alot from this man and it is very easy if u study!!

You have to take a lot of notes I find it intersting not a boring teacher some might find him rude but he's just straight forward and thats good because whats the point of a teacher that will make you think your right if your not I recommend him to anyone who wants to take history I learned a lot and didnt even like history until I took this class

Had the same 2200 as the others, found the class to be difficult but informative. This is not a blow-off class. He's opinionated and there is a lot of writing, but he knows his stuff. Do not sign up for this if you aren't a hard worker. My only sub-A grade in five semesters.

He gives a lot of notes and it's a bit hard to keep up with him sometimes, however, if you are at all interested in history you can really learn from this guy. Also, unlike most macomb history professors, I didn't find him boring.

As long as you go to all the class sessions and take very detailed notes, you will be fine. However, this is not an easy A class, there is ALOT of memorizing involed and his exams are all essay. If you miss one class, you will not do that well on the test unless you get the notes. No quizzes though. Final grade all based only on exams.

He's not the most caring individual, but you do learn from him if you listen. He is very strait forward. Keeps you the whole time without a break, but this is understandable because of all the notes. He won't pick favorites. Will grade you fairly.

He is very hard but knows what he is talking about. I learned a lot from his class and I am warning anyone who thinks they can get an A in this class without trying VERY hard...well its impossible. I do recommend him to those who are not slackers because you do learn a lot

One of the rudest people I have ever had in my life. Interesting class but the man is a jerk. Take Caporelli or Meryowitz instead.

great prof.

He tells history like a story. I had no interest in that class at all, but he is a lively speaker and it ended up being very interesting. He never does multiple choice tests - you simply have to know your stuff. Make sure you wirte the definitions out of the book - that extra credit will improve your grade lots!!!

Don't miss class and take tons of notes und you'll get a good grade. He is a critical man, but will be thrilled once he sees you care about his class and do work for it!!! Would definitely take it again!

lots and lots and lots of notes.....and even more studying- you learn a ton though.... wouldnt take him again.

You have to attend class & you take alot of notes, BUT he is very interesting. Don't show up late or sit in the back cause he won't think your interested & he doesn't like that. Test are all essays but he offers enough ex credit to raise test scores a whole grade. Im taking him again because he may be hard but he is very interesting.

Plain and simple, this man is rude and judgmental. Yes, he loves history and you can learn a lot from him, hence the decent-enough rating. But he's insensitive and condescending--don't ask questions w/o being made to feel belittled. Interpersonal skills suck. Decent-enough lecturer (but don't ask questions).

Need to do the work. Lots of notes. People complain about falling asleep? Your in school to learn! If your looking for easy A, don't take this class. You get what you put into the class

Very demanding teacher. He's full of knowledge, and very, VERY opinionated in his point of view. This is one of those classes where if you can pass this course, you'll fly through college.

Very knowledgeable teacher. He really likes to teach and he know a lot about what he is teaching. If you want to learn about history take your classes with him.

I took his American History class in the summer---all essay test---very demanding in the summer because all test are essay. It was difficult but doable. I got an A. Do not miss class and do study and you'll do well---very time consuming so make sure you have the time to study.

I took the class in the summer. My advice is to take notes, and go to class. He is not a hard teacher, the test cover exactly what he teaches and you get extra credit.

Great teacher. Very demanding and knows what he is talking about. Only take his class if you are going to study and want to learn. Anyone who left a negative comment needs to pull their head out of their ass and remember they are in school to learn, and teach well is what he does.

Very engaging when daugherty lectures, attendance is absolutely MANDATORY,

Very engaging when daugherty lectures, attendance is absolutely MANDATORY, if you want to be challenged and learn the material, this is your guy.

take this class if you want to learn history. take someone else if you just need the credit. the tests are entirely essay/recall but he gives you all the material thats going to be on the test! just study and youll pass. dont leave early, ever and show up!!! take lots of notes. hes very clear and goes over material multiple times

Excellent Professor. All teachers should teach with his passion and integrity. You will get carpal tunnel from taking notes, but well worth the effort.

He really loves history and wants us to love it too.

This was a very hard class, but one of my favs. He is a GREAT prof. and will love you if you pay attention and talk to him. also, go to Marshall for the field trip, he will love you for it. read everything he gives you. I would take his class again. Good luck =]

I can't say enough good things about this professor. No, his class is not "easy" in the sense that you can do nothing and pass, but all you have to do is show up to every class, take notes (5-7 pages a day), and do the terms from the book that he gives you. There is no "homework", there are bonus points, and you will learn a ton!! exams = essays!

Prof. Daughtry is a great prof. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just lazy. He'll go out of his way to make sure you learn the material and engages you in his lectures. Great guy with plenty of knowledge. Can't imagine taking 2340 with anyone else.

He holds the record for the most challenging yet enlightning teacher I've ever had. I love history but I hate being forced to learn it in a classroom. He changed this! If you want to LEARN he is the proffessor to take,if you like slacking don't take him. The only problem I had is he never lets you out a second early hes usually late lettin you out.

If you want to learn architecture, take this class! You MUST attend all classes. The class is very interesting, I learned a lot. Yes he can be a grumpy old man, but he was very entertaining and passionate about the subject.

This was the best history class I've ever taken. He is passionate about the subject, and knowlegable. No one knows this stuff better than he does. You will work in this class, no question, but the reward will be great if you finish. Study your notes every day after class. I would take any class he teaches.

EXCELLENT TEACHER! Passionate about subject, a bit opinionated. Class was pretty much all lecture and notes, which can be a pain, but it is interesting stuff. The people who i heard complain and got awful grades were the ones you expected to do awful. The lay kids who want to get open book tests and take naps during lectures. Excellent teacher.

His lectures are very informative, right to the point. Be preapared for an almost non stop note taking from beginning to end of class. I really enjoyed his architecture class. If you want to take the architecture class, you better hurry before it's not offered anymore - that's coming from the professor.

Tough. Nice guy hard teacher.

There are positves and negatives about this prof. I've learned alot! On the other hand, he has serious issues with people who don't appear to respect history, sleep, text, go to bathroom, ect. When he goes off on someone, it's uncomfortable to say the least, and a time waster for the rest! Exams are brutal! Waaayyy overstudy if you want an A!

This is not an easy class, you must attend every class to receive the notes which are crucial for each test. Tests are challenging and the lectures are the entire length of the class. On a brighter note, this is the most experienced, interesting teacher I've had so far. You will learn A LOT!!

I had this prof and had to take him again because I like a challenge. This IS NOT an easy class. you absolutely need to book. Exams are extremely difficult, I have never gotten an A, and that is with 10 extra credit points. He's very grumpy if you don't respect the class. go to the bathroom, texting, sleeping, or late is unexceptable. LEARN ALOT

To all complaining about notes, It's a LECTURE class. I retained alot of the info he was teaching. Very knowledgeable man. Fair. Would recommend him to anyone willing to learn about history. You actually need to study for his class. Has a passion for teaching and subject. Not a easy A like other classes. I have much respect for him. Tells it like i

This man is brilliant and has very high standards. He has so much to share about history. In his class you will either learn the material comprehensively or you will fail.

Excellent professor. He would be excellent teaching at any educational institution. For all that I learned, the class was a huge bargain. I took another of his classes, that's how good he is.

This is how much I love this class: I have never been to Florida and I was offered a one week trip from my aunt, but I love this class so much I want to stay home. He can sometimes have a temper, but he's a living encyclopedia who can be very easy going. I recommend him to anyone who wants to become an expert in architecture. Passionate history!

Very good teacher, interesting, very stern, he is not there to play, but teach and he is very good at it!

Excellent professor! A wealth of knowledge and a passion for teaching. Very progressive politically. If you don't pay attention, come in late, miss classes, or want to text during class, you will NOT pass and he WILL go off! If you come to learn you will do fine, and he is very nice and helpful professor.

I had him for 3 classes before I transferred to OU as a history major, got A's in all. He inspired me because of how passionate he is when he teaches. He is tough & strict, but it's college, suck it up! One time when I missed class he called to make sure I was ok, then he went out of his way to teach me what I missed during office hours. THANK YOU!

A great teacher and a great man overall; he cares about all of his students.

He is so passionate about history! Knows every detail about everything. If you like history and don't mind lots of note taking I can honestly say he is just about the best teacher I have ever had

Honestly one of my top 2 favorite teachers ever. He inspired me to continue a history major and is the reason I'm now at UofM. He is so interesting and really knows his history! I loved his passion for the subject. He makes his expectations crystal clear. Such a great class!

Great teacher! You take notes the whole class period and he doesn't let you out early. His lecture are very interesting and he is very passionate about history! 5 test and 30 extra credit terms with each test. Highly recommend taking his class.

Class is hard but interesting. If you study the class should be easy, if you don't you'll most likely fail. He gives you a study sheet for the exam that if you turn it in you get 10% extra credit towards the corresponding exam (might be different for every class.)

If you have any interest in history, or plan to major in it, then I highly recommend Professor Daugherty. He's extremely knowledgeable and gives very passionate lectures. Just be prepared for long lectures, lots of notes, and hard tests. If you can handle that, then you'll enjoy any class that Professor Daugherty teaches.

he is a good teacher that will teach you if your willing to learn and study, and you write your own awnsers to your test so be prepaired

He was a very very hard professor but at the end of the class, I knew so much about US history. Dont show up late, late, or talk because he will call you out and embarrass you in front of the class. I loved this class because I was proud of getting a good grade even though I knew it was challenging.

His classes prepared me for university. I transferred and got a BA degree in history. If you think he is bad, wait until you transfer. None of my history professors allowed computers and had hand written essay exams or long research papers as your entire grade. He is VERY professional and if you make an effort, you will do fine.

I took professor Daugherty way back in 2011 and again in 2012. I learned so much in his class that I gifted him a book on Robert E. Lee. I am currently a professor at Macomb myself and I wish he was still a professor here; he was the best teacher I've ever had at any level. Also an incredibly brave and loyal man whose life story was remarkable.
