Amazing teacher. Hilarious, while very knowledgable..Keeps you entertained!
the best teacher i had at kwantlen. funny, helpful, fair marker, makes you want to go to class and do well. makes classes entertaining and takes the time to get to know all of his students.
he looks like the guy in goodyear tire commericals. Hard marker, but easy-going and very helpful. always bring in some crazy historical stuff to class.
Very difficult class to teach and he is not a very good teacher. But he is VERY easy on grading so with average effort an "A" or "B" is very possible. I didn't like him at first but I am glad I didn't drop the class.

very well organized instructor, teaches very clearly. Easy going guy. Loves the Canucks!!
He is a very good teacher and easy going and me actually makes history very interesting!
funny guy, even though I love history he still makes me want to come to class. A bit of a hard marker on mid-terms and quizzes, but overall a good guy and teacher
Bob is a great teacher. He is very organized and totally hilarious. This is the first class in 2 years that I feel has prepared me for what University will be like. His course is demanding but really interesting. I highly recommend him.
one of the best history profs i have had he is very helpful
bob is the best teacher yet. he is so great at relating the hard stuff with funny examples for you to remember. he is an easy marker on pop quizes and even tells you when he is going to give them! Not an easy marker on midterms, but fair.
This guy is great. Awesome teacher, teaches the course really well and is funny! Great anecdotes, and he marks both fairly and with a degree of understanding. Its awesome, definitely taking as many courses with him as I can.
He's...like...totally awesome!!
Bob has come a long way in life. The son of a sharecropper in Maillardville, he spent his youth in the hot sun picking marshmallows during the day and watching World Vision infomercials and night. All these experiences have turned him into the excellen
Gives very good, concise notes. Course is alot of work, MC quizes, midterm, essay and final exam.Extremely helpful and understanding if you are having difficulty. Really enjoyed the class. Great teacher.
Bob is great!! This guy is so passionate about what he does...he knows every little detail and relates well to the class..not the easiest of markers but overall very fair..one of the best teachers I have ever had!
One of the best stat teachers I've ever had, the course is easy to get an A in, but I still learned a lot.
Bob is the best history prof ever.He makes history fun and interesting to learn.Multiple chioce quizzes are a little tricky you have to pay attention to close details.Other than that he is a pretty fair marker. An easy person to get along with.RECOMMENDED
To this day one of the best teachers I've ever had. He really loves history and it shows in his teaching style. I took his class 3 years ago and now attend UBC and I have still yet to find a better prof than him.
I can't say enough good things about him. He reinforced my desire to be a history major. He has such genuine passion for history and its hard not to partake in this passion yourself. You'll never find another teacher like him.
worst teacher ive ever had, boring and rude
Bob kicks ASS!! Best teacher ever.
BOB! Bobs the man. Awesome prof, highly recommend him. Cant recommend him enough.
Bob is duh best!!!!!!Just not sure what.
For what he lacks in knowledge of history, he makes up for in sheer hottness!!!!!!!!!!!
He appears to be a very clean man.
Wonderful and very interesting teacher.Take his class.
Bob sucks.
Bob rules!!
Bob is such a cool guy. He is sooo nice and really tries hard to make the class enjoyable. He makes jokes and is so enthusiastic about history. GO BOB GO!!!! His tests are very fair and he is a good teacher.
nice guy, extremely helpful. like the pace of his class, not so frenzied as some others. not always easy, but very fair.
Bob is funny and interesting. He encouraged me as a student. I completely recommend this instructor.
Great teacher, super funny, makes american history insanely interesting, hes definitely the best teacher ive ever had, easily. multiple choice is tricky but overall course is very fair. You will never fall asleep in his class and will always be anticipating the time till the next class, well, i did.
If anything came out of my dismal years at kwantlen, it was him. Great guy, great teacher, understanding and knew his stuff. he was well respected by all the students. i still feel bad cause i skipped alot and didn't take him seriously, he truely is a great guy
this man is krazy! he knows stacks of info, and is so smart and sassy! he even middle fingered in class once depicting something in History HES THE BEST!!AND HIS EXAMPLES ARE THE SHIZZ !!!!!
Bob has to be BY FAR, the BEST Prof I have ever had! HE is very interesting and makes the class fun and makes you wanna come to it! He is also a DIE HARE CANUCKS FAN!!! Best Teacher Ever! Take his course!! They fill up so quickly cuz he is an awesome Prof!!
Bob Fuhr is an ideal - American History teacher! Bob makes sure that he repeats himself all the time so that everyone can catch all of his words. Very clear and interesting, Bob is a mellow dramatic type of guy, but can give away unexpected hilarious remarks.Best part is that he lets the students...
his midterms are killer...
Bob is a funny guy. He likes talking hockey, and his lectures are entertaining. His "suprise" quizes are easy cause he lets you know the class before that there will be one. He is a little bit of a tough marker on tests. But you will get your money's worth taking his class.
My favourite prof! He's fun!
BOB IS SO AWESOME! AND HE'S A DIE HARD CANUCKS FAN! GO BOB!
The Fuhr will fly when you take this class. That's because you'll have such a great time! Bob is an amiable prof, he makes sure he's always clear during lectures and he has a real passion about him when he talks history. TOTALLY take him, you won't regret it.

this class killed me. holy**** 2 hours with this guy is a liftime. American history + boring teacher= death for 4 months.
Bob is the man! Great prof, totally helpful and completely passionate about teaching. The best prof you could hope for. The only problem with Bob is that he's a Canuck's fan. Go LEAFS Go!
One of the hardest profs I've ever had. Lectures are ok but he marks so damn hard. I usually get high Bs in History but I'm probably getting a C or lower in this class. He's sucked all the love for history I've had out of me.
He good. Good Teacher. Very fun and good. He meet Richard Nixon. Go, you like, it good.
American History is a joke, but the way Bob teaches is worth it. He's very clear and helpful. I was sick during midterm week, but he gave me a chance to take it anyway. His quizzes and essay questions are really easy, just prep yourself a couple of days ahead and you can easily ace this class. P.S. He's a die-hard Canucks fan!!!
Bob is one of the best Hist profs I've had in university. His knowledge of US History is amazing. He's very helpful and insightful. Make use of office hours and get to class early to get started on his board notes, they come in handy. Snappy dresser too, he's got more pairs of shoes than I do. For a bald history guy hes not that bad looking either.
Bob is a great prof. He's funny and has interesting lectures. Key's to succes: 1. Take good lecture notes 2. Suppliment notes by reading text 3. Read the short stories. There you go. Have fun.
Great prof show up listen and then read the text book and you will do fine (I know this now because of my bad midterm mark) Knows his stuff and the lectures are not boring he keeps them interesting
I've taken 1145 and 1146 with Bob, and I can honestly say he's quite well versed in the realm of US history. Super nice guy, finds ways to bond with his students. Keep up with the readings, as with any history course.
Bob has been my favorite teacher since I started here at Kwantlen. His lectures are always interesting, informative, and full of humorous and interesting anecdotes. A great prof all around. Watch out for the CIA, Bob!
keeps class interesting and fun.
Interesting guy. He is nice and clear, but he treats his class like a high school class room. He doesn't like people to leave the class at all when he is talking and he gets mad if you are late or go over the break time by one minute. He does pick his favorites so make a good impression. Make sure you study hard for his midterm and final.
Great Teacher, he loves his american history and it shows through his teaching. He's very helpful and gives you most of the questions on the test beforehand. he is a bit of a hard marker but if you study you can easily get an A
Best professor ever, not a hard marker you just have to listen and have a general interest in history.
He is one of the best prof at Kwantlen. Explains really well, awesome prof!!!
This prof is a nice guy, However he marks too hard, and his midterm and exam are all written. for exam you have to write two essays. He expects too much from an intro class.
Good teacher. Sometimes the material is a bit dry, but he keeps things pretty entertaining. He is fairly clear in his lectures, but he is a pretty tough marker.
Excellent prof. Has a genuine love for his work. Lectures can be dry, but humorous moments keep you awake. Very friendly and helpful. Not too hard as a marker but not easy. Reading is intensive, but he picks good texts. You get what you put in. Show up, read the text and brush up on your writing skills, because its essay intensive. So Hot!
Great teacher =) definately recommend him, makes learning really fun. Has "surprise" quizzes which he will give hints to the class before that it is going to happen. Will Def be taking another course with him. Go Bob!
He is a great prof! I love love love him!!! He is extremely knowledgable and always willing to answer questions. He is so funny, and nice. He is a fair marker. I loved having class with Bob!
Really nice guy but brutally hard marker when it comes to essays. He's like a walking encyclopedia of American History knowledge. Lectures are entertaining, gives 'surprise' quizzes where he'll give you the question in advance. He'll also give you a copy of the questions for the final so you're not going in blind.
Really good teacher! He sure does know his stuff. Gets to know the students and makes the class a fun learning enviroment! I recommend taking his classes!
awesome prof
Solid guy if I had put more effort in class would have been easy to pass. I would take him agian
awesome prof, do the practise quizzes online and you should be able to almost ace the real ones.
Bob Fuhr is the nicest guy in the world! He is a great teacher and is super helpful. He isn't the easiest marker but he is pretty fair and gives you good criticism. His quizzes are pretty easy. I would definitely recommend taking a class with him!
Best prof I have ever had! He's real, he's helpful and insightful. Good class conversation and goes over everything clearly! His quizzes require you to read but are easy. His midterm/term paper/final are all marked a little tougher but his aim is to help you learn. His feedback is awesome. Always happy and very personable!
Nice guy, good teacher. Can be a tad boring, but only on boring subjects, essay topics are quite difficult and felt too long for a first year class.
Go Bob!!!! One of the best profs, if not the best, I had so far!!!
A really nice guy who genuinely loves what he is teaching. Sort of a difficult marker, but was always willing to help and made lectures interesting. Loves hockey...
Great American History Prof. Very knowledgeable, often goes on intresting minature tyrades if he likes the subject matter. Knows lots of Quirky facts about Presidents and important info. Essay's are dfficult but managable. Test's are Document analysis and essay's. If you like History Bob's class is a must.
I've taken Mr. Fuhr for 4 classes now. Bob is a great teacher! His subjects may dip into the "dry" territory, but his personality and fun facts will keep you listening. He marks a bit hard, but that's because he truly wants you to learn. I know I have improved as a student because of him. I would recommend him to anyone.
Awesome teacher. Helpful, funny, and interesting.
Awesome teacher, big canucks fan. Read the textbook and take notes and youll be golden. Docement analysis tests which are easy. He gives you everything thats on the midterm and final. AWESOME teacher!!
I took 3 classes with Bob, and what can I say? He is a beauty!... but he is a difficult marker and his lectures can be dry sometimes... regardless you do learn a lot in his class and he is a great guy... defiantly suggest taking a class with him! If you like hockey you will love him
this prof was really good, he was also really funny
Fuhr is an amazing prof. The nicest guy you will ever meet. He manages to make american history interesting and his getting a good grade is not hard as long as you show up to class and do your readings.
He's an amazing prof! I learned a lot about American history. He has 5 quizzes, an essay, a midterm, and a final exam. He tells you what will be on the exams so you have time to prepare. If you do your readings and attend each class, it shouldn't be hard to achieve an A. He is a fair marker and gives a lot of feedback. Very helpful and kind.
Super Awesome Prof. Would take him again and again! Really interesting stuff, is a Canucks fan always meeting players and shows us pictures. Two exams and an Essay. With easy multiple choice quizzes throughout the year super easy marker as well.
here's the deal with bob: he's an extremely nice guy with a very straight forward course lay out. always tells you what you'll be tested on. quiz or 2, plus paper + mid term + final. HOWEVER, he's been teaching his history courses the same way for decades. If you ask him an in depth question about a topic his response is "i'm not quite sure".
Bob is a great teacher and even better person. He's nice, understanding, a little dorky, and very endearing. With history, there are moments of dull material, but he tries to add little anecdotes to keep things interesting. The material can be a lot to memorize, but he is reasonable and tells you specifically what to focus on to prepare for tests.
Bob is a decent prof. Got a B+, but had to put in the effort. One midterm, one final, one 7 page paper, and 6 quizzes where he takes your best 5 scores. Not an easy marker by any means, but if you put in the work, you should do well.
I've taken 3 courses w Bob and I will probably take a 4th. Nice guy, easy to get along with and respected by his students. He's a big hockey fan & a bit nerdy but who isn't? Many testsquizzes but he makes them fair. He knows what it means to be a university student and is understanding towards his students.
I've taken 2 courses with Bob and would take more. Class consists of 6 multiple choice quizzes based on assigned readings (takes your best 5 marks), midterm, essay, and final. For midtermfinal he gives you a list of documentsessays to prepare for & then puts a certain # of them on the test. Not an easy marker, but is fair. Funnynice guy.
Boring lecture and Tough marker.
Bob is a great prof because he puts in effort towards making otherwise dry lectures more fun for the students. He gives test questions in advance, so it's easy to prepare (though, he is a hard marker) and gives basically the whole semester to do the one paper in the class. He's also just a really nice guy and makes the whole class more enjoyable.
Great teacher, explains things so thoroughly that going to lectures is totally worth it. Tough marker but at least you know you worked hard for that good grade.
A funny guy and interesting lecturer. His tests and papers are difficult.
Bob is nice and friendly, always says hi to you outside of class. He lectures for most of class which I prefer, not dry though, makes it interesting. Occasional easy multiple choice quizzes. Easy short presentation, which if you forget or aren't able to do it, he'll reschedule it for you. Not too much reading. Not a hard marker but not easy either.
Bob is super nice and friendly, always wants to make sure everyone understands the material. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Honestly one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He marks his tests and papers a little tough but provides you with a ton feedback so you will do well on future assignments. Super super nice guy. Take a class with him. You'll like him.
Im a History Major, and every Professor in my major is great, except for Bob. He is such a diffuclt marker, in any other HIstory class I would be getting great marks: in Bob's class I have gotten horrible grades. His lectures are ridiculous and long, making everyone in the class fall asleep. Will never take again, and try to avoid.
Gives great lectures, lots of feedback and he is actually super funny with his personal stories- helps make the lecture stick better.
Dr. Fuhr is a decent professor. Criteria was coherent and he put in the effort to make his lectures interesting. Easy exams (both midterm and final) and only one paper. Participation is important too. He's super chill and easy to talk to. I'd definitely recommend him.
Nice guy but his lectures aren't clear. He doesn't give enough time for exams. He wants 2 essays done in an hour and a half. He rushes the material and doesn't give enough time for you to understand the content.
Prof. Fuhr is a fantastic History Prof. He has a passion for hockey and likes to talk a lot about meeting up with players and seeing games, usually at the start of the lecture. The course material itself is very interesting (if you're into Canadian History) and the book is worth a read, but is expensive. Take his class!
Bob is a great prof, as long as you do the work! I took HIST1113 as a condenced course, so it was fairly fast paced but there were not many assignments. 3 quizes and 2 essays (based on provided texts, zero costs for textbooks) plus the final exam (which he gave us weeks before, so we could prepare). Tough marker, and details matter a lot!
Bob is the best prof in the history department. His lectures are very important and require you to take notes as many of his exam questions are predicated around the lecture notes and assigned readings. Bob is also a fair grader and is quick to respond via email, I highly advise people to take any of his classes!
took his online history course as an elective, he only bases your grade on 4 essays and a final essay which are each 20%. he is also a pretty tough marker but if you use correct citations and quotes you should be alright. however if you don't go super tryhard for this course I wouldn't expect anything over a C+
