He is a gangsta! He thinks he is really cool because he went to Oxford University in Cambridge-and he is. He know his stuff, tests are essays-loooong. Discussion is required, with no credit- look into other teachers if not a History major.

Bucholz is a great teacher. The class may be a little hard and require note taking but you will have fun while you're in his class. A really inspirational teacher.

Bucholz is awesome. He is extremely knowledgable and uses excellent examples to help make the subject matter interesting. High expectations but they can be met with relative ease. TAKE IT WITH A DISCUSSION COURSE, IT IS MUCH EASIER!

Dr. Bucholz is awesome! His teaching is great..he knows his stuff! And he is a great person..I went through some tough times while I was in his class, and he was more than understanding about everything! Take his class!!

Quite possibly the best prof here!

Absolutely the best professor that I have ever had. He's not easy, but he's a good person and will help you if you ask for it. Great lecturer. He tries to get you very interested in the topic! GREAT!!!

Only teacher I've ever had that has drawn a standing ovation from an auditorium of 100+ at the end of a lecture. Knows and loves what he does. Not an especially easy class, but what more can you ask for?

It is truly an honor to have been a student of Dr. Bucholz. He truly loves what he does. He is very approachable, and always lets you know when he will be in his office if you have any questions. He is also a very good lecturer.

Dr. Bucholz was the coolest professor I has at Loyola. He made me want to come to class. Because our class was so large it was hard for him to get to know his students, but he was always available for office hours.

Bucholz is THE MAN. His lectures are like watching a movie. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you will cheer. Get front row seats, that's where the action is.

Best professor ever, ever.

Bucholz is awesome! i love going to his class, you feel like you have actually learned something when you leave class. He is the cutest guy ever! He is hysterical, you won't regret taking his course!

He is a kool ass teacher, take him, u will learn a lot!! -Awesome guy, discussion is boring but worth it because u have him as ur teacher!-:)-

Great class. Excellent professor. It isn't hard to drag yourself to lectures because they are entertaining. They are also the basis for testing. I scraped by without really reading much at all. fairly easy for a writing intensive course.

Truly among the best there are. Class was a joy, even during 3 hour evening classes in summer.

i learned so much... made history interesting

Really good teacher, no boring lectures, tests are hard, but if you study, you're ok, hardly any reading at all, tests mainly from lectures

great guy. very clear and interesting lectures. he made me remember that learning can be somewhat fun.

he is awesome... and its only on monday and wednesdays with a TA discussion which really helps because u can get extra help if u need it then...very entertaining man...barely read the text book and did just fine..just take notes from his lectures

Great teacher. Knows what he is talking about, but makes you think. Doesnt write out notes, you have to do that. 2 papers, 2 tests. Great lectures.

He's the best history teacher I've ever had. he makes it interesting and fun to learn about history.

Perhaps the smartest man I've ever met. He's a great teacher, and don't hesitate to take him. I've actually rearranged my entire schedule to take him again. (Watch out for his TA's though, they tend to take themselves too seriously.)

OMG!He is so adorable!And the way he teaches-it's like watching a soap-opera,I swear! He makes history fun,so you will never even think about skipping!2 papers, midterm, and final, plus discussion attendance-come on, that's as easy as it gets! AAAAAAAAAAA

Not only is he the sexiest man alive, but he's the best teacher i've ever had!!!!! So much fun!!!!

take dr. bucholz! without a doubt the best teacher ever, seriously it might be a little hard to remember all the names and dates, but if you have to take a history class, his is fun so take it...dont think about it, just do what i say, he is great

It is an honor to have been a student of Dr. Bucholz. I can not describe how great of a teacher he is. His tests are hard, but not unreasonably so. He got his doctorate from Oxford, and proves it with his intelligence on the subject.

This class is great! The grading system is kind of difficult since there are only 100 points for the entire semester, but you learn so much through his lectures, you don't even have to do much reading. He is by far the best professor I've had here.

Lectures are fun and he is very enthusiastic. There are two papers and two essay tests. Grading is strict, but reading the book is not always necessary. Take good lecture notes and you will do fine. He also wears a bow tie, its awesome.

Amazing professor. Everyone needs to take a History class from him. Grading is well laid out, tests are well explained, papers are the same. All around greatness.

Bucholz was a great teacher. lectures are alwasy interesting. DO yourself a favor and becareful of the TA's; they think they're god.

Best Class I have ever taken!!! He makes 45 min feel like 2. I love him!!

Great professor, my best professor at LUC. He knows his material and goes so far as to throw in jokes every class. Really nice guy and why shouldn't he be, he went to Oxford. Overall, I would take him for every class if i only could. Lectures are fun.

He was reccommended to me by an alum of LU, so far I do not regret taking his course in His 102 because he is a difficult but amazing prof.

What a badass. He is so set on helping people learn its amazing. You have to work and take good notes to learn and you have to be able to write, but the class is actually fun to go to. Laugh on a daily basis in class.

Wow! A passionate teacher with a true gift...don't miss the opportunity to take at least one of his classes during your years here.

This guy is great! Everyone should take him at least once. I really enjoy going to class and I'm actually learning. He's hilarious! By far the best professor at Loyola

being a student of his was an honor. I would take him for every class if i could. He is really cool, gets very into his lectures, and is etremely easy to understand. you will not have any problems in this class if you try a little

He is a genious! VERY knowledgeable and makes lectures exciting (but he sure does say a lot in a short amt of time--write fast!)His humor is one-of-a-kind! What a brilliant man! Best professor at Loyola...just work hard and pay attention!

he is the best!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DR. BUCHOLZ, he's exciting. The best teacher you can have at loyola, class is never boring. He's not exactly easy, but makes you want to learn more about history.

It's Buchlotz, btw. AMAZING! Very passionate. knows his stuff. Highly recommend. GO to class. Awesome notes - Awesome explainations. Don't buy the book

Bucholz is awesome. Made History even more interesting than I thought it could be. His stories help you learn the material well. Very energetic, clear, entertaining, and funny. He's awesome. You'll love his class trust me! Tests are easy, essays are too.

Bucholz is the best teacher I have had here. You need to go to class, but you dont need the book. He knows his material and is a great lecturer.

Dr. Bucholz is hands down the best teacher ive had. his lectures are so passionate and clear that there is usually a round of applause after he is done speaking. you will have to study and go to class, but he is so good you will want to. DONT BUY BOOK!

He is very good at lecturing, and they are very interesting. However, there is a lot of reading and work involved. It is hard to get an A, but if you are ok with a b take the class cause it is very interesting.

This is probably the best prof at Loyola. Here is how to get an A in this class: just go and take notes. You don't even have to do the assigned readings. His lectures are the sh*t!!!! I recommend any history class that he teaches.

Dr. Bucholz is by far one of the best history teachers I have every had. Do not leave this school without taking a class with him. He cares about his students, and his lectures are superb. I highly recommend!

Best professor Ive had so far at Loyola. Really fun lectures, makes history interesting. Cares alot about the students and overall an awesome class to take. Dont leave Loyola without taking his class!

History should only be taught by Prof. Bucholz. He makes the topic interesting and makes you think about how things in the past relate to your life in the present. Do everything that is asked, and you will get an A. BEST PROFESSOR AT LOYOLA!

he is an awesome lecturer! Ties history together so it all makes sense. Only midterm and final which is easy just need A LOT of detail. Put down everything. The discussion sessions, led by grad students are a waste of time, I wish he would get rid of them

Bow before this man as he is the supreme example of what a professor should be: intelligent, witty, eloquent, thoughtful, persistent, humble, and insightful. You entire academic life will be fulfilled after taking one of his courses.

Dr. Bucholz is the best! He is much smarter than most other professors. The work is pretty easy, and he is a very compassionate man. If you can get into one of his classes, go for it! You won't regret it!!!!

it isn't a super easy class, you have to definatly pay attention and take good lecture notes, but he is super nice and ties everything and explains is all very well, wonderful class and teacher.

Take his class!! No need to buy the text, just the primary source book. He covers everything you need to know in lecture and does it in an interesting and thought-provoking way. Monday/Wednesday class coupled with a discussion= Piece of cake.

Bucholz has great lectures I always seem to stay awake for them. The discussions r taught by a TA, but are fairly good. His tests ,though are a little tough you will have to memorize everything in order to do well on his exams. 2 papers and two exams so if you are ok with that then take the class!

Dr. Bucholz is a great professor! Your grade is based on 2 tests and 2 papers. GO TO CLASS and take good notes!! As long as you do this, you'll do well on tests. DON'T bother buying book, his test questions are derived from class notes. His tests are all made up of essay questions. brilliant man!!!

He's a rock star.

He is such a funny teacher! Obsessed with Oxford, but makes history a little more bearable. Study for the tests and make sure to go to class and discussion. Participate in discussion for easy points. Take him!

I think everything about Bucholz has been said- he's wonderful. The TAs are kind of scary graders, but its worth it. You will do great on the final if you go to his review sessions. He tells exactly what will be on the test...perfect.

Ok, enough of the sucking up...so what if he's from OXFORD? He does a good job teaching but his grading policy SUCKS! He does the teaching and the TAs do the grading! The TAs are not devoted to grading fairly as they themselves are grad students. The skim some, they read some, and harshly penalize!

He is awesome! I always hated History until he taught it. And his slide show at the end of the year about his days at Oxford is so funny!

The best history teacher by far at Loyola. His lectures are great and they are very entertaining. The discussion sessions are not bad, becuase most of the TA's are just as nice as Bucholz. If u need to take history this is the man to take.

BEST TEACHER AT LOYOLA...World-Class Lecturer

he has made me love history even more than before! he will make history seem like a movie, a must take professor!!!

Great prof. His lectures are never really boring.He can go VERY fast however. Be prepared to take LOADS of notes, and make them good, because that is what his tests are based entirely of.Grading policy could be a little bit higher point-wise. All and all a good, fairly simple class and a GREAT prof.

By far the greatest teacher I have ever had. One of the most brilliant men I've ever encountered. His class is enjoyable and you learn so much about history and how it affects your life. A must take class. I had a B-/C+ average, but it is definitely a class worth taking. "This is the good stuff".

Dr. Bucholz ia a rare breed. One of two professors I have learned from who truly loves his subject. Ok so the bias toward the British was a bit much, but that's what makes him the great teacher that he is. To those who say so what to OXFORD......Simpletons! Thanks Dr Bucholz. TAs are cool too!

The BEST teacher at Loyola. I adored his class. The subject of history has never been so clear and accessible to me. Highl recommend to take his classes.

You don't need 101 to take this. As long as you study the notes and go to class you'll do fine. TA's do all of the grading. Bucholz is great I got screwed on discussion. I knew that we only needed to know what came out of Bucholz's mouth so I didn't ask any questions. Papers require you to read a book or passages. Bucholz is a great story teller.

The best most passionate prof. in Loyola nough said (T.A's suck though).

he is wonderful, loves his subject, makes it very clear what is expected, AWESOME lectures, the class was always full because everyone loves him, he is lively and fun.

amazing teacher. he's the one who made me decide to change my major to history. if you haven't taken him yet, do yrself a favor and take one of his classes

The best professor at loyola. The way he teaches, its extraordinary. Took him for 101, 102...learned a lot. Just take good notes and you'll get an A or A-. What i didn't like was that, T.A grade ur papers, it cause of that, i got a B. (got As on tests tho)

Amazing teacher!! I was not interested in history at all before and thought that this class would suck but I love it! He's definitely one of the best teachers I've ever encountered.

Bucholz is frickin amazing. I would say he's my favorite professor. He has a passion and energy for his subject unsurpassed by anyone. He truely enjoys what he teaches and that makes all the difference

Bucholtz is amazing! His enthusiasm for history and teaching is really commendable. Excellent lecturer, but his tests aren't easy. He wants to know that you are learning something. For someone who doesn't really like history Bucholtz is the professor to take.

Professor Bucholz's class was hands down the most enriching educational experience I've had since I entered college. His class will make you excited about history. He is knowledgeable, easy to understand, and knows all about history. I promis that you will not regret taking his class. I called it "Storytime with professor Bucholz"

Overall the history profs at loyola are decent at best and Platt is not only the worst teacher I have ever had but the worst person I have ever met. Bucholz is the exception. He is extreamly intelegent and his class is a joy dont take him if you are just looking for a grade but he is the man if you want to LEARN the subject matter

Bucholz is hands down the greatest teacher I have ever had in any subject ever. He made us laugh, nearly cry and really really connect with history. His class is one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I am forever grateful to the guy who recommended him during my orientation. I am a bio major yet this was my favorite class. TAKE HIM.

Bucholz is an inspiration. I wish everyone could take his class because I truely believe this world would be a better place! He is the most brilliant person I have ever met, hands down! He made me cry in his last speech because he is just that good! TAKE HIS CLASS!! NOW!!

best...prof...ever...

His class can be summed up in three words: LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE.

Bucholtz is the best professor at LU. He obviously loves what he does and that feeling rubs off on his students. I've never been more excited to go to class than when he is my professor. Sadly, he won't be back till spring 07 though :(

very good history professor, real passion. Take him if you are not a history major, because you will want to be one. One note though, He will be returning in FALL 06, not SPRING 07 like someone else commented. He is offereing a class Fall 06

He really seems to care about his students. He talks really fast, but I really loved him. He is supposed to know more about 102, than 101 but he still knows his stuff. His TAs did alot, but he picks really awesome ones.

awesome

AMAZING professor; HORRIFIC t.a.'s

The first prof that has ever made me interested in history. I LOVE bucholz! He is a GREAT prof! He expects you to put in the work to get the grade. Grade based on 20% each participation, 2 tests, 2 essays.Go to class bc you cant replace his lecture for the book. You have to work for the tests and essay but it wasn’t too hard for me to get a B+.

THIS MAN IS A GENIOUS! He will be by far the freatest professor that you will have at Loyola university. His lectures are very intresting and he makes history FUN. Yes I did not think this was possible but it is. the class is only 5 grades 20% each. 2 papers, midterm, final, discussion. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

Wow, amazing professor! he's one of those who can teach about any subject! however, everything is graded by his assistants (grad students) who are mostly annoying. Anyway, great teacher. Highly recommended!

Bucholz is an awesome teacher. He will make you interested in the subject even if you think you don't care. TAKE HIM.

This man is AMAZING. I never really like history but he has convinced me to appreciate it. He is the best lecturer there is at Loyola. However, getting an A in his class is not easy at all. If your a history major, take him!

Life. Changing. Experience. His teacher's assistants are horrible.

FANTASTIC PROFESSOR! All the comments below are true! take him for anything you can. his class will change how you look at history! plus you'll laugh in every class.

Very good teacher. There are two big papers and a mid term and final. Discussion on fridays is easy as long as you go and say a few things. Good class

Bucholz will never know who you are because there are so many students in the class. Overall I enjoyed the class but it was a real gpa hit. for the midterm over 1/3 of our class failed. The exams were so difficult because he wants a lot of detail on the answers so be sure to include detail. Has extraordinarily interesting stories.

Love him! He sets the bar the first day of class though and says that he will treat you like you are at an Ivy League school. He changed my view on history though and th man is so passionate.He knows he talks fast but he makes up for it. You should take him!

Dr. Bucholz is a fantastic teacher and the class is extremely enjoyable. Very fair-expectations are laid out from day one. The tests and papers are not easy, but they are spaced out in a way that prevents feeling overwhelmed-there is plenty of time to prepare for each assignment. His passion for history makes each lecture interesting and exciting.

Bucholz is THE MAN. You may not care about history but by the second day, you'll find yourself sucked into it. Extremely fair. Funny as hell (we bust out laughing at least 3-4x per class). The paper is challenging but he will help you out a lot. Impossible to fall asleep in class. Take good notes and you will be fine. LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE.

Dr. Bucholz is awesome. Very enthusiastic! Grades are based on 2 papers/ class discussion participation/ midtern & final. Only read discusion readings BUT recorded lecture. Midterm was tough as he wants a lot of detail...record lecture/ take notes if you dont' want to bother w/ the book. Achieving an A is not easy but it is possible. I earned an A-

Most interesting, sincere person you will learn from. He definitely knows what he is teaching and his approach is very creative. He expects alot but he is also fair and will work with you if you need help. I took three classes with him and I enjoyed all of them greatly.

Absolutely in the top 2 professors I have ever had. I hate history and he actually got me really excited to go to class. He knows his stuff is really fun and it isn't even that difficult. Read show up to class (which you will want to) and you will get an A. Definately recomend. Only down side is the ta's who do discussion they suck.

Quite simply he is the most riveting and entertaining person I have ever met. He is also the most knowledgeable and effective professor I have met. He is honestly worth the 40,000 tuition alone. His only folly: he limits himself to Britain. A brilliant man and an orgasmic orator: Dr. Bucholz stands alone when it comes to professors in Chicago.

Bucholz effectively weaves a beautiful story every class period. His presence rivals some of the greatest motion pictures in entertainment value and quality. His extreme amount of knowledge and his ability to relate the most important parts of history to our lives and contemporary issues make him the greatest. Elton John should sing at his funeral.

Great professor; horrible TA's. He gives the lectures, however, the TA's grade everything way to harsh. I would try to see if there is another class that he's teaching with no TA's ---> they're really THAT bad. other than that I would take the class again!

Bucholz is God...enough said.

BUCHOLZ IS DA MAN!!!!! take this class you'll love it

This is the second class I've taken with Bucholz this year and the guy continues to impress me. He is so passionate that his passion keeps your interest. However, the class is a ton of history to teach in one semester (he'll says this from time to time). You have to take a discussion with a T.A. and they grade everything and extremely hard.

Bucholz is as amazing as everyone claims. I only took History 102 because I loved his History 101 so much. The TA's aren't so great and are kinda harsh graders, but Bucholz's lectures make up for it. He makes history about people and their stories and doesn't care about specific dates. Just take notes and it's easy.

I agree that he is a fantastic teacher and a very personable man. He really does need to tell students what he expects in papers before they are due though. Tests are easy, especially if you read and take thorough notes. He basically tells you the essay questions to lecutre so to class. And who wouldn't to--amazing, incredible lecturer. Plus, Hilar

hes the man.

He is an overall great teacher. Keeps the class somewhat engaging with stories and jokes. However is clearly biased side comments do get old after a while. Also, his teachings of the Industrial Revolution are incomplete due to his personal views and his complete misunderstanding of a basic level of economics.

Professor Bucholz is AWESOME! I used to loathe history classes with my entire being, but I absolutely loved his class. Some of the TA's aren't quite as interesting or helpful, but Prof. Bucholz is more than worth dealing with a once-a-week TA session, hands down. LOVE HIM!

This guy is what makes the 43,000 dollars we pay to go here 100% worth it. He is the best professor, and I usually hate learning history! He makes it fun and you kind of feel like you're getting a personalized documentary from the history channel. DO TAKE THIS PROF! HE IS AWESOME!And I actually learned something/care about history now. *TAKE*!

Professor Bucholz is such an awesome teacher. I was dreading this class before taking it and I only did so to get some core in, and i LOVE him! He is engaging and is completely thrilled in giving his lectures. Discussion classes are mandatory and paper grading is strict, but overall a good class. He makes me enjoy history!

Dr. Bucholz is what every professor should aspire to be. His courses are challenging, but they are some of the best you will ever take. Brilliant lecturer, brilliant scholar - makes heavy intellectual material accessible and relatable. TAKE HIS COURSES...you will be better for it.

Definitely is a great professor. The way he explains history and how he lectures isn't boring. He's really into the subject and you get interested, even when hist isn't your fav. Tests aren't bad b/c he says possible essay qs and ids (ids only on midterm) in class. Only 2 assignment essays that the TAs grade mostly, so try to ace those. Take him!

Dr. Bucholz is an AMAZING history professor. I've always loved the subject and he just made me enjoy it even more. He is always interested in all the topics he talks about and is very knowledgeable about the subject. As a history major, he made the class that much better. However, the TAs grade very hard. Other than that, take his course

Very fun class that you look forward to every week. Lectures are awesome and you really don't need to ever buy a book. Only bad thing is that your grade is essentially in the hands of the T.A. so you have to hope you get a good one.

Good prof. I learned a lot about London and England. He is very helpful and encourages students to visit him during office hours for work on the paper. Weekly quizzes on readings, one big paper, a midterm, and a final. His assignment instructions are crystal clear. He's a bit full of himself, but he is a damn fine teacher. Would highly recommend!

I took History 101 with him my first semester of college, and he was so great that I NEEDED to take him second semester again for History 102. BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. He made me want to come to class and learn. I couldn't say enough good things about him. I recorded his lectures & will probably keep them forever. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!

Wonderful. Oxford grad. Definitely my favorite professor so far at Loyola. Made history worthwhile, and interesting. Really helped shape my semester. He is very helpful too! Midterm final, and 2 essays. Straightforward, clear, and simple. Go to class and take notes you are guaranteed an A.

The lectures are like watching someone who got their doctorate from oxford speak... oh wait he did. My TA, Devin Hunter, did an excellent job as well.

Great professor, makes funny jokes, lively, makes lectures & learning interesting. Go to class, take detailed notes(laptop recommended) and you'll do fine. there is amidterm, final and 2 essays. All very doable not difficult even if you don't like history you'll like this class. best professor i've ever had. Highly recommend this class

Awesome guy. made the lectures really entertaining and makes history extremely worth while. This is by no means a blow off, its definetely worth taking for your core history credit.

Dr. Bucholz is amazing! The class is extremely easy because the midterms are mostly essays that are based on "lists" he gives during class. Text book is not needed to get an "A". But the "source" book is needed for discussion. Very understanding as well! I have taken a 300 with him and besides a heavier workload, the class is still fairly easy.

highly recommend this class/prof! its an amazing class for core esp. its really easy as long as you attend class and take notes. midterm, final, 2 essays. midterm/final is straight-forward and based all off class notes. one of my fave prof at loyola!

Great for core, great for history majors getting the 100's level requirements out of the way. Show up to class, take notes, participate in discussion, do a decent job on your essays and you've got an easy B in the class.

Professor Bucholz is probably my favorite professor at Loyola. He is very funny and makes lectures quite interesting. Grading is very fair and exams are straightforward. Book isn't needed if you go to class. I got an easy A and enjoyed this typically boring core class very much.

He was a really fun professor. As long as you like huge lecture halls, you should be good.

Professor Bucholz is an excellent lecturer. He makes everything super clear and makes it very interesting. To do well in the class it is important to go to lecture because he basically tells you what will be on the midterm and final which are reasonable. TA's do all of the grading in this class and discussion is a big part of grade.

Never thought I'd see the day where I enjoyed a history class. I loved going to lecture and listening to him tell stories about Rome, Greece, etc. He makes a ton of parallels to modern society and they're so interesting! Take good notes in class (computer recommended) and you'll do great on the exams. 50 minutes fly by in his class!

LOVED HIM AND THE CLASS!! he made history fun. Grade consists of midterm, finale, and 2 papers. Tests are based off of class notes. He goes over all possible test questions, and the finale is easier than the midterm. Very smart and enthusiastic. THEATRICAL! great class, highly recommended for a core.

Even if you don't like history this guy makes it very interesting. Class meets only two days a week and the third class is a smaller discussion which is very easy. TAKE THIS CLASS FOR CORE you won't regret it.

GREAT CLASS! I never was into history until this class. I get goosebumps in a lot of his lectures. When he speaks everything makes perfect sense and he is very organized in his lectures and also using Blackboard. The class is only 100 points total so it is hard-ish but completely worth it.

Each lecture is riveting and crystal clear. On the 1st day, after his introductory speech, the whole class applauded. Even if you don't like history, you'll love this class. Two 5 page papers, 2 tests. Participation (20%) based on discussion section which is easy. Not an easy A per se, but not a difficult one either, and TOTALLY worth it.

Dr. Bucholz is a passionate lecturer but the problem with this class is the grading. It is out of 100 points- with paper 1 and 2, discussion, midterm, and the final each being 20 points each- so it is essentially damage control. U lose 2 points on your Paper then you lose 2% from your grade and you need a 93% to get an A. On exams list everything!!

Go to class and have the T.A. look over your paper before you turn it in an you will be fine. Had no trouble getting an A and its a really fun lecture to go to. You don't need to get the book for class, but do need the other book for the discussions. A fantastic history core!

Do not underestimate this class. Be sure to take detailed notes and ask your TA to proofread your papers. If you screw up one paper or exam you may never be able to reach an A. Every point is basically a percentage. He usually tells you what prompts will be on the exam but you'll need reproduce almost everything he taught in class about it.

Dr. Bucholz is the most brilliant and friendly professor I have ever met. He has very simple guidelines for the class, and it is up to you to take charge. Amazing teacher, great to talk to, incredibly funny. I loved this class more than anything. I had a great time as a 1st year in Hist 319; it'S not impossible. TAKE A CLASS WITH BUCHOLZ!

Dr. Bucholz is honestly the best professor I have ever had at Loyola, and this class was one of the most intellectually interesting and stimulating. It's obviously a 300 level with a lot of reading and writing, but he's very clear with what he wants and it's obvious that he values his students and their opinions.

Awesome class. The professor is engaging and funny. He is probably my favorite professor on campus. The class is not worth very many points so you have to work hard but it is worth it.

AMAZING! Best professor in the world. He's being promoted to department chair but I know he's teaching a core class so definitely take him. He's genuine and kind and knows his feild like the back of his hand. He's written books, got his Phd at Oxford and he is truly one of the best at Loyola.

GREAT professor! Really clear lecturer, very helpful and a pretty funny guy. The class is not that easy because he grades pretty hard, but study and go to the lectures and you'll do fine.

BEST CLASS FOR CORE!! Absolutely amazing professor. Keeps you alive the whole 50 minutes. Funny. Always makes sure you understands, and if he doesn't like his explination, will send a revised lecture to everyone in class. Literally tells you what's on his tests/expected to be on it and how it should be answer. Knows what he's doing.

Take this class because you are interested in History and want to have a unique and interesting professor. Bucholz has amazing lectures & is a really nice guy! The class is difficult because it's a 100 point class and every point matters. You really need to know details and know how to write. Not an easy A by any means but a great class indeed!

This is the best professor I have ever had. He is so passionate about what he does, and he makes every single lecture interesting. I hate history, but this has been my favorite class so far. Also, he basically tells you exactly what is on the tests. TAKE HIS CLASS.

He's the reason for my history minor, just so I can take his 102 class next semester. BEST professor so far, love him so much! He's hilarious and makes history exciting. Midterm and final will make your hand fall off but he tells you what's on the test. TAKE HIM!

There are no words to describe Professor Bucholz. He is hands down the best at Loyola. I was a Bio major previous to taking this class, and now I'm a History Major. Show up to class, take notes, and you will do fine. Bucholz is also very helpful outside of class. He will be there for you even its unrelated to his classes. Amazing man.

He made history fun and exciting for me. He is a hard grader, however office hours are always opened and he makes everything easy-going. By far the most exciting class I've had at Loyola and I hope that everyone gets to experience it!

Well, I am one of many students that may have not liked History, but after taking his class I can say I was totally amazed and engaged in learning. He was very helpful with me when I was unable to get notes from classmates he gave me a one on one lecture to record notes in his office which he suggested after learning no one assisted in sharing.

Dr. Bucholz is an amazing professor to take for HIST 102. He has so much energy when he lectures that you have to stay awake to listen to him. All you need to do to is take notes, ask questions if you don't understand, andor go to his office hours for any other help if you want to do good in the class. I SERIOUSLY recommend him for HIST 102.

Professor Buchholz is the best lecturer I've ever had in my life! He is the most enthusiastic professor and he makes history very interesting! But participation destroys your grade. You're expected to participate 5 times every discussion period which, in my opinion, is virtually impossible given the time. So it is tough to get an A but possible

There's no other professor that I've ever had in my life who is brilliant, enthusiastic as well as an amazing lecturer as Dr. Bucholz was. His lectures are never boring, but it's a 100 point class so it can be difficult to get an A. Possible though if you work for it. Still would take him though.

Best lecturer ever. Makes history seem so simple and relevant and interesting, something I was not used to. Focuses less on names and dates and more on what life was like, so it's different. Grading scale sucks and it's extremely hard to get an A, but if you take good notes and go to office hours you'll do pretty well.

Professor Bucholz was the best professor I had at Loyola. He was so compassionate about history and I went from completely hating History going into his course, to absolutely loving it and having a newfound appreciation for it leaving the course. If you have the opportunity, TAKE BUCHOLZ!!

Dr. Bucholz has been my favorite teacher at Loyola thus far. He is so passionate about history and makes his lectures so fun; I never dreaded coming to his class. I would recommend recording his lectures in order to make your notes more concise. I would also go to his office hours because he is such an interesting man and very friendly.

Bucholz is a phenomenal professor. I had not taken a history course prior to this one and I was worried that history would be a dry subject for me. Bucholz did a terrific job of keeping his lectures very engaging and interesting. Bucholz has high expectations, which pushed me to work for the A I got in the class. I highly recommend his classes!

Bucholz is easily one of the best lecturers at Loyola. He must've taken acting because he has such a stage presence. There are ONLY 5 assignments, ea. worth 20 points. Which means you must do good on ea. assignment to pass with a "decent" grade. All grading is done by his nerdy TA's, so be real friendly to those people. Requires a lot of studying.

Professor Bucholz's entire class is pretty much lectures, and they all are essential to your success on the exams. He also requires you to do two essays and read two novels plus a section group. He is a tough grader, but if you're very detailed and give the purpose behind the terms/questions being asked, he will reward you with points Good lecturer

Excellent teacher, examinations are heavily based on his lectures, so don't stress too much if you can't afford the book. Pay attention, and usually he'll make the topics so clear you won't need to ask questions.

Only grades on a 100 point scale, but offers lots of insight and plenty of time and opportunity to ensure that you are caught up in the course and that you know what's going on.

gr8 m8 would r8 8/8

He was probably my favorite teacher for History. He lectures your whole class time and you will never get out early. 100 point scale: midterm 20%, final 20%, 2 papers each are 20% and then you have a discussion section and participation in there is 20% which helps your grade. Not a lot of grades but I would recommend him!!

Great teacher!!!! Just be there for discussion, and you'lk be ok!! :)

Although I have never been into history, Dr. Bucholz's class really drew me in. He genuinely cares about the students, and is actually excited about teaching. Attendance is not mandatory, but he does cover everything you need to know for the test during class. He is easy to talk to and has office hours. Fair grader!!

Amazing professor! You really have to work for your grade. He always has stories to tell and is passionate about his work. I will definitely recommend him to others. Attendance is not mandatory but participation counts as part of your grade. Exams are short and long essay questions.

A bit intimidating at first because he holds his class to an Oxford or Cornell standard. Lectures are very engaging. For the midterm, he gave us 6 options of potential essay questions and then put 3 of them on the test and had us answer 1. If you studied, you got an A. You had the questions prior to the exam!! He loves his job & it shows.

His lectures are excellent, the most enjoyable class I have ever taken. He has discussion sections for his lectures to make sure you understand the content, this is where your grade comes from. He is a very funny and kind man.

Buchholz is the greatest professor/teacher I have ever had. He is the smartest human I have ever met and really knows his stuff. Every lecture is very engaging, but he grades on a 100 point scale, so you HAVE to study to get a good grade. Also attending the group sessions with the grad students is very important as well, we went over test details

Alright bucholz is extremely passionate about his lectures and seems scary at first but is very accessible outside of class and genuinely cares about every student succeeding even though I was in a large lecture class it was easy to ask questions and there was no judgement whatsoever actually study tho because this isn't the easiest class

AMAZING LECTURES!! tbh one time I started crying in class over the french revolution. he's very passionate and wants students to learn. You will do well if you show up and pay attention to lectures, which is not hard bc he makes his lectures very interesting. There's a midterm, final, and 2 papers. Makes it clear which topics will be on the exams.

Bucholz is the kindest man ever, he really cares about everyone in the class. It was a 300 level class, but this is my most solid A. His lectures are wonderful & easy to follow, with the occasional tangent-but it's fun. His tests are "90 mph but straight down the middle", so study & it'll be fine. go to his office hours just bc he has great stories

Bucholz's class was my favorite at Loyola. His passion for the subject makes it interesting whether you like history or not. Lecture's are optional, he doesn't take attendance, but just saying the only time I missed a lecture is when I physically could not get out of bed because I had the flu. Papers are graded by TA's from your discussion section

I used to HATE history, but Bucholz has made me love the subject. Lectures feel like storytime. You don't really need the textbook, everything is lecture-based. Participation is counted in discussion, but the lectures are super helpful for exams. Gives study guides well in advance. It doesn't feel like a burden to do the work b/c he makes it fun.

Bucholz is awesome. It's by no means easy, but his excitement and passion for history is infectious. I was always excited to go to class because his lectures felt like sitting in a movie. He's a really compassionate and understanding guy. All around, a fantastic professor.

Professor Bucholz is my favorite at Loyola, and so well educated about the topic. You can tell how much passion he has and that he loves to teach. He makes everything easy and interesting to learn, and class actually goes by fast. Make sure you go to lecture, the tests aren't too hard but you need a lot of information.

I adore Bucholz. While this probably isn't the easiest HIST 101 at Loyola, it's definitely the best. He is such a caring man and the most passionate professor you'll ever meet. He wore a velvet suit to our final, so he's also a fashion icon. I am a senior and had to take history for core and was salty about it but this ended up being my fave class!

Dr. Bucholz was an absolutely incredible professor. His lectures were poetic and beautiful. He is ridiculously knowledgable about history and has such passion for the subject. He has been my favorite professor at Loyola. The class requires some work but as long as you take good notes, you'll be fine. For anyone taking HIST 101, Bucholz is the man

Bucholz is such a smart man, and his lectures make you love history just as much as he does. He genuinely cares about his students, even when he has 200 of them in one class. He gives you everything you need to know, you just have to take good notes and ask for help if you need it.

Could not have asked for a more engaging, informative professor. Dr. Bucholz makes a 50 minute lecture feel like 20, all while reciting every event in the rise and fall of the roman empire better than I know my own life, with great elaboration and current day comparisons. I wish I had him for all of my courses. It was 2 essays and 2 exams.

This dude needs a raise, guyssss. Literally the best professor I have ever had. He goes quick but who wants to be taught history slowly? Lol. I could just listen to him lecture for fun because they are so fascinating.

LUC's Best Professor. If Loyola doesn't pay him enough, then I will personally advocate for his raise -- but being in his class is a priceless experience. He's different as a professor because he views student work as a reflection of his quality in the classroom. Also, is so kind and inspiring. Though late in the afternoon, I left class energized.

He is such an inspiration. I am a business major and took him for core, and he made me rise above myself. He is EXTREMELY passionate, bubbly and helpful. He is a wonderful teacher and an inspirational being. It is not an easy A, but you get the returns if you put in the effort. He is knowledgeable and a great advisor on anything

Dr. Bucholz is the best professor I have had at Loyola so far. He is an amazing professor who is so passionate about history and actually makes it interesting. You have two essays, participation, a midterm, and a final. He makes you want to go to his lectures and listen to him. Overall he is very inspiring and a must-take professor.

One of the kindest professors I have ever met. The class itself takes work and you should definitely go to class, but he explains history in a sort of storytelling way that makes it interesting. Extremely willing to help students succeed, whether you are currently in his class or not.

Bucholz is an AMAZING teacher! I had him for lecture 2 times a week and then a discussion with a grad student. I love Bucholz and the grad student. Bucholz goes out of his to make sure students do well in his class and he keeps his lectures engaging.

I took Prof. Bucholz the first semester of my freshman year and as a sophomore he is still my favorite professor. His lectures were so entertaining and he really broke down the information we needed to know. He tells you what you need to know for the midterm/final and gave us a cheat sheet of questions for the test. 10/10 love him w my whole heart

Dr. Bucholz exceeded my expectations for this course. He really cares about what he's teaching and wants you to succeed. During the lectures, he will point out what you should prioritize for studying. He also gives you a list of possible essay questions before the actual exam. I didn't read the book a lot but it didn't kill me.

One of the best professors at Loyola. He's lectures are exciting and amazing. He makes history fun and interesting. I did not like history at all before this and now I am talking about it with people! I actually learned in the class. He loves History and you can tell.

You will never find a more caring professor. Lots of reading, but class discussions are actually really fun and informative. You will learn more than you ever thought you would. Straightforward exam and lots of critical thinking, but he will help you in every way that he can. Passionate, funny, loving. This class was the best part of my day. King.

Bucholz is awesome if you apply yourself. Very intense, and honestly a little intimidating during the first class. If you listen, he's actually very interesting. Makes you put in the time, but its not horrible. As far as history goes, pretty good prof.

Dr. Bucholz is spectacular. The man cares a lot about his students and he somehow makes online lectures easy to stay focused in. I suggest taking written notes - you cannot use any resources other than course materials and lectures for exams, so make sure to get detailed notes. 11/10 would recommend him!!

LOVE HIM!!! Dr. B is the best prof I've had so far. Usually history lectures are so boring, but his make me want to listen. He his so funny and very understanding. Everything on his exams come from his lectures so show up and take good notes. Solid choice for core!

10/10 amazing teacher. His lectures are so interesting and informative that I thought I was going to hate western civ but I look forward to his lectures. He also compares a lot of things from history to what is happening now which helps me understand the topics.

Definitely definitely take him if you can. I absolutely hate history and suck at it but I can actually say I enjoyed his class. his exams are mainly short answer/essay questions which is better imo since you can focus and write on what you know pertaining to the topic.

Give. This. Man. A. Rase. He is THE best professor I have ever had. He is fun and inspirational and truly cares about the success of his students. His is the definition of a truly gifted teacher. If you get the chance to be in his class, TAKE IT!

If you don't find history interesting like I did, he's the teacher for you! He makes lectures fun and exciting! So glad I took this class.

you can't go wrong with Bucholz. he's funny and knows EVERYTHING. take detailed notes in lectures, as on exams he just wants you to regurgitate. always willing to help outside of class. three papers - 1-2 pages, then a 5 page, then a final 10 page. documents based. not too difficult, clear grading criteria. makes history come to life!

Dr. Bucholz is amazing! I cannot recommend taking his class enough. Fair warning that there is a lot of information, but the midterm and final are not too difficult provided you took good notes.

Prof Bucholz is one of the kindest and most passionate teachers at Loyola! You won't go through him much, instead you'll go through his TA's. Two essays about books, a midterm, and a final (short essays over weekends) Very entertaining and interesting and not a lot of work like other history classes. His spots fill up fast but take Prof Bucholz!!!

He is very enthusiastic about history which is great. I always love listening to his lectures, he goes in great detail to explain. The gradings and everything is done through your TA. You are graded on few things but it's an easy A if you just try a little.

2 critical essays on the books chosen by your TA. one midterm and two final essay, for these you are given the prompts ahead of time, go to the review session! and participation grade by your TA for forum post and participating in class. Overall, easy A and less work compared to other history class.

Took him Hist101 and 258. Easily the best professor at Loyola. He is kind, caring, and ridiculously good at his job. His lectures are both entertaining and fun. English History from 1485-1714 - when William of Orange took the throne in 1688, he was wearing all orange. Shows how much fun and how though out everything is. Take anything he teaches!

If I could take this course again, I WOULD. Bucholz is an amazing professor. Although the lectures are pretty heavy, he makes attending class fun and it's all very interesting. There was not one boring day I've had. Grading criteria are very clear and to be honest, as long as you put in the effort, you truly will succeed. No doubt, take it from me!

Great professor! He made lectures really interesting and his grading wasn't too strict, although it may seem like it at first when he goes over the syllabus. Should be an easy A class if you pay attention to lectures. You wont have to memorize anything since a lot of the big points are essays, which are open note.

Professor Bucholz is extremely well versed and kind, however, you won't communicate with him much, everything is through his TA's. His lectures are very engaging and interesting. Overall, his class is very manageable, two essays about books, a midterm and a final. He has very straight forward grading criteria and if you have questions, just ask him

Amazing lecturer and actively responded to comments and questions made by students. He likes to poke fun at historical tv shows and also gives possible trigger warnings for people who may be sensitive. It should be known that all the grading is done by his TAs who follow his guidelines for materials.

You'll never have a professor who cares more about the quality of his course or the experience his students have in it. His lectures are like hearing a story, with music, videos, jokes, skits with the TAs, and powerful speeches about why what you're learning matters. One of the kindest and most inspiring people I've ever met. Best part of my M/Weds

Professor Bucholz is amazing -- really enjoyed going to his class! Lectures are dense so it is a good idea to record them if needed, however he is more than willing to answer any questions during class. Most of the work in the class is graded by the TA's but I highly recommend having Bucholz's as a lecturer at least during your time at Loyola.

The greatest professor, lecturer, and educator I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The passion he puts into his lectures is truly inspiring. The amount of knowledge he has on the subject matter is frankly terrifying once you realize how little he looks at his notes and lectures. It will be a sad sad day for the university when he retires.

I was a huge fan of his class! Lectures were engaging and informative. The main grades you get are from participation(from the discussion section), the 2 papers and the final. There were opportunities to have TAs give you feedback on your paper before you submitted them which helped tremendously! Id highly recommend this course!

I really loved this class. I cannot recommend Bucholz enough. Class has two exams and two papers, not too bad. Lectures have a lot of info but take notes/show up to class and you'll be fine. Lectures are super engaging and not boring at all., like listening to a story. If I can take Bucholz again I would.

He was a good professor just make sure to go through the lectures because his test questions come from what he specifically talks about in lectures.

Good teacher, very engaging. Only grades like an exam and 2 papers though so have to do well on those. A nice person, I liked his lectures.

Dr. Bucholz is one of my favorite professors at Loyola. He obviously loves the content he teaches, along with his students. While his classes require a lot of reading, he explains everything you need to know in class. I cannot recommend him enough and I hope I get to take another class with him in the future.

Honestly one of my favorite professors, hes incredibly caring and really engaging with his lectures, always trying to educate while also being a bit entertaining. His lectures were never boring, the essays can be a bit tough but for the midterm and final so long as you understand the material youll be fine.

Bucholz is the best lecturer ever. Everything is clear and his lectures are both entertaining and informative. I actively sought out his 102 class because he is so good. The grading is very fair, if you put in good effort getting a good grade is not a problem; There are only 2 papers and exams. Even as a core class, Dr. Bucholz' class is a MUST.

I agree with the rest of the reviews - Dr. Bucholz is an amazing professor. His lectures are informative and so interesting. However!! This rating is only for Prof. Bucholz, who lectures, but doesn't grade the two papers, exams, and participation - the TA that leads your discussion section will be doing this. So, keep that in mind!

Please take his class, genuinely cares and makes every lecture unique and fun. Attendance was optional but I didn't miss a lecture, my favorite professor

His lectures are amazing and he is extremely knowledgable about the topic. Never bored in his classes and he cares deeply about his students. Graded on a couple essays and two tests, but everything is laid out and explained clearly to make them all easy to study for and complete with a good grade.

His lectures are never dull, and the content is enjoyable. The only problem I had was the two critical essays that we had to do.

Hands down the best professor LUC has. Whatever they pay him it is not nearly enough. He stands heads and shoulders above the rest of the History department even that is not a fair comparison. Extremely respectful of his students intelligence and was great just to chat with. No agenda, no overarching political message... just excellent instruction.

Love this guy. You would never take another engaging and interesting history class. Great professors and great TAs!

He was amazing would totally take the class again.

Professor Bucholz is AMAZING, he shows a genuine love and interest in what he teaches making lecture so much more interesting and engaging. Truly deserves a praise. However, your grade is up to the TA's and generally most require you to read 50+ pages a day. Make sure you choose yours wisely!

Bucholz is a great professor. Though the lectures are not mandatory they are super important for the midterm and final. The discussion section is mandatory attendance to get a good grade in the class. You are not graded on much. TA does do everything. But mainly Bucholz is an amazing professor and knows what he is talking about.

He is the best professor I've had so far. He's so funny and he doesn't make the lectures boring. You could skip lectures because he posts audio lectures online but it would be better for the midterm and final to attend. You won't regret taking his class.

This is a great and not too hard class, his lectures are usually really interesting and he is very funny. Take him!

Grades from 2 midterms, 2 essays, and a final. However Dr. Bucholz is an amazing professor, his lectures are so entertaining; if you put just a bit of effort into this class you should succeed. He is so good at teaching his that I didn't even have to study that much outside of class. Very funny and clear on what he wants from you.

Dr. Bucholz is an amazing professor. His lectures are very engaging and he really knows a lot about the subject. Essays are pretty easy to write and aren't graded too harshly by TA's. Besides 2 exams and essays, there is really not a lot of work. I would for sure take Dr. Bucholz again!!

Dr. Bucholz genuinely cares about what he is teaching and wants his students to enjoy his class. The best professor I have had thus far. He made a core history 100 class that would typically be boring, very interesting. Although not mandatory, I would recommend attending all of his lectures because it makes the exams 10x easier.

Dr. Bucholz is the best option to fulfill Tier 1 History. His lectures are interesting & he is passionate with what he does. Attendance isnt mandatory but coming will benefit you bc he gives hints on what will be on exams. Your TA though does all the grading, so it is important you get a good one. Matt was great, probably the best TA of the rest.

I LOVED Dr. Bucholz, he is an amazing teacher and his lectures are like stories. You have to choose a discussion session and that is where you get the majority of your points and its led by students. I had Emily Page and she was amazing. 2 papers, midterm and final. Prepare and study and you'll be fine. I think the student teachers grade everything

He is amazing, hands down one of the best professors at this school. You will want to go to his lectures, that's how good and funny they are. He also really cares about his students, and wants them to succeed,

Bucholz rly is an exceptional and talented lecturer. He knows how to grab your attention, and class is actually entertaining. Leans left politically, but that's to be expected. Your grade is entirely dependent on the TA's however. Mine was super chill, but I've heard none of them were horrible. Put in some work, and you'll get an A no prob.

If you do nothing else at Loyola, TAKE ROBERT BUCHOLZ! I took him freshman year for HIST 101 and then proceeded to take two 300-level courses with him. I have never had a teacher or professor care as much as he does. He is an amazing lecturer and will help with class-related issues and beyond. I wish I could take him with me to grad school.

Reallly funny guy! Lots of reading but you can pass t

By FAR the best professor I've ever had and probably the best at Loyola! The lectures were so fun that I was excited to go to class every day. He's super accessible and tells great stories during his office hours. I am actually sad this class is over, that's how amazing it was!! Take him for any class and you will have a wonderful experience

Dr. Bucholz is a great professor to take for any HIST course! He is very engaging and funny at times. However, your entire grade depends on the TA, so you just have to hope you get a good one. There are two books that you have to read to write two papers on. You only have two exams- a midterm and a final. Make sure you take good notes!!!

Super funny, easy to reach!! Lectures are important at first but then you can still pass the class without going his lectures later in the semester!

he is a awesome professor will totally recommend

HIs lecture on the first day of class was phenomenal! Such a funny and caring professor, you can tell he takes time writing his lectures because he makes such boring topics into very interesting ones. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Easily one of the best profs at LUC. Amazing lectures, hilarious, easy to talk to, and gives great feedback. The class is lecture heavy and has required readings, but he goes over them in lectures anyways. He is very understanding and has so much knowledge on England and the time period. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH!!

The Best.

I already reviewed him but he also basically tells you what's going to be on the exams and he also basically tells you the answers.

You are required to take a discussion course alongside his class, which I have my own evaluation of. But his class is amazing. He is so passionate and funny. He cares so much about his students. There are 5 things you are graded on that are each 20% of your grade: attendance in discussion, 2 critical essays, midterm, and final.

Passionate and interesting lectures. Discussion section is required but with a TA. Gives questions and their answers to final and midterm. Only graded on 5 different aspects throughout the whole semester, but most have to do with the discussion sections.

Professor Bucholz is very passionate about the material that he teaches. His energy and interest in the material made me want to come to class every day. There is a lecture class and a discussion class where you read different sources. Professor Bucholz connects material to modern issues and is all around one of the best professors I've ever had.

Bucholz was amazing! Grades are made up of 2 essays, midterm, final and discussion group participation. He's very out going and charismatic. You can tell he really cares about his students, and helping them understand the course content. Test questions are given out prior to the exam so you know exactly what to study for. 10/10 would take again.

Professor Bucholz's class was one I always looked forward to. Just be sure to do the readings and participate. The class was a challenge though - lots of reading and a huge paper at the end of the semester with a final and midterm.

Very good public speaker and knows how to engage a lecture hall. Made me look forward to class, take him if you get the chance.

Prof Bucholz was a amazing professor and person. He is very passionate about history and his students. The class consists of 2 critical papers (based on books in discussion class) and 1 midterm and 1 final. I am not overly dramatic about history but his class is interesting! Take him for tier 1!!

Dr. Bucholz is an outstanding lecturer. This class was coupled with a discussion class that I have a separate opinion on but Bucholz is truly an amazing professor. He clearly articulates what will be on the midterm and final. I never liked history in high school but is so passionate about what he teaches that it is contagious! Made me love history!

No textbook required. Come to class and enjoy Bucholz entertain you for 50 minutes. Guys very passionate abt what he teaches. The material can be difficult to recall and theres a lot to study for over all his lectures. Only a basic overview of each ID question is required.

Best professor ive ever had. This is what i pay 60k for lol. Made history interesting even tho i hated it before. just take lecture notes and u will be okay, and obviously study/do the essays. best guy ever i genuinely would take him a million times if i could.

Fantastic professor who makes history engaging. Lectures are key, but with unstuckstudy AI and the textbook, you can still do well even if you miss some. Highly recommend this class!

Most fantastic Professor ever and very lecture-heavy. Insanely bright and will make funny jokes throughout the class. Sit in the front if you can; automatic 10 points for participation

Bucholz is why Loyola is expensive. He is what you would get at Harvard, Yale, or Oxford, where he even attended! His lectures are awesome, you won't fall asleep. The material is a lot for a core class, and you may get a harsh grading TA in the discussion, but don't let that shun you away. HIST101 is an amazing class, no better history core option!

Dr. Bucholz is probably one of the best professors I have had in my entire life, and I seriously mean that. His classes are all lectures, so you need to take good notes in class if you want to do well. Around 2 papers, a midterm and final exam. Taking his class was the best thing I have ever done hands down.

I loved Prof Bucholz but not so much my discussion teacher which sucks. I wish the actual professor got to grade my essays and papers.

Professor Bucholz is actually amazing, he makes so many jokes while lecturing and even though his lectures feel long they're entertaining

Bucholz is a wonderful professor, especially if you're not interested in History. Everything is graded by his TAs (2 papers, 2 exams). The papers can be annoying as students are not allowed to cite outside resources, but this is a minor issue. Attendance is mandatory for the discussion sections, but the lectures are uploaded to Sakai.

If anyone can make a history lecture interesting it's Professor Bucholz. Not only a brilliant man but also really funny. Perfect for your History Core requirement!!

His lectures are always engaging and interesting. There are weekly readings, and three papers due over the semester. The midterm and final are also papers. The TA's grade papers, and those are the only assignments.

I love this man. His lectures are so entertaining. Two exams and provides an outline for them so you know exactly what to study. You have to take a discussion section along with the lecture, so the grading isn't ultimately up to him. But as an instructor he's really great for lectures.

Easily one of the best professors I've taken at Loyola. He is so passionate about history and it makes you genuinely want to come to class. Your grade depends on 2 essays, the midterm, and the final, which are all super easy because he tells you what is going to be on the exam.

Bucholz was probably the best history teacher I will ever have. He made me excited to come and learn every day, and he always gave such inspirational speeches about life, civilization, and current events. With the class, you have to take a joint discussion course, which I wasn't a fan of, but it's worth it to get to have Bucholz as a professor.

BEST PROFESSOR AT THIS SCHOOL. His lectures are fun and energetic. He is genuinely the most caring person ever & is willing to help in any way he can. Kind of a lot of work for a core class that no one cares about though. The expectations are a little high. Also, choose your TA wisely because they grade everything.

SUCH A GOOD PROFESSOR!! The class needs to be taken seriously in order to get a good grade but the professor is remarkably entertaining, kind, and passionate. The only things graded are 2 essays and 2 tests so it's very important to study. Definitely take a class by this professor if you get the chance!

Dr. Bucholz is a great professor. Very accommodating to circumstances and wants everyone to succeed.

Bucholz himself was a great professor. He was very engaging with his lectures and you could tell he loves teaching. However, the discussion course that came with this class was not my favorite. Many of his TA's were tough graders; mine was no help.

Dr. Bucholz is an absolute gem at LUC. Super engaging, funny, and entertaining lectures, but it's incredibly important you attend lectures and take detailed notes to study for the two exams. Gives plenty of time for the two critical essays with multiple possible prompts and interesting books.

You can tell this man knows what he is doing. He truly cares about history and his students. While attendance is not mandatory, it is necessary in helping you study. He said from day one you will only be tested on things he says, and she stays true to that. I found the midterm very easy, and he always made lecture enjoyable and made time fly by.

Amazing professor. TAKE THIS CLASS

I Love this man he changed my view on college as a freshman

This is a GREAT professor, only class I'm sad to leave. TA's grading is tough, though. Make sure to clarify on what the midterm and final essays are looking for you to say. However, the professor is so so engaging and passionate.

great lecturer but was not a fan of my TA- who unfortunately determines your grade

I could not speaker higher of him. Everyone has those teachers they remember forever and he is one of them. He is SO smart and extremely passionate about what he does. Whatever LUC pays him, they need to double it. I was genuinely sad to leave this class. He truly wants everyone to succeed and is hilarious and understanding just wonderful. TAKE HIM

Bucholz is AMAZING. The class consists of two lectures and a discussion section per week. The discussion section depends on what TA you get, but it was fine. The lectures were super engaging and I never felt disappointed that I came. Theres two papers that are worth a lot, but I thought they were very doable. Attendance doesn't count for lectures.

Professor B is a nice man and cares about history and that we learn. I'd say he's a bit nit picky with grades for the midterm you will enjoy this class but get a good study strategy and go to office hours to ask questions about midterm ID questions. Hilarious man and great teacher take the class but it's not as easy as people make it seem on here.
