Ingram's a hilarious guy. Very intelligent. Says a lot of random stuff in class. The T.A. this quarter grades way too hard but that doesn't mean that this will hold true in the future. Highly recommended. Great guy in general. Fun class too.

good teacher really keeps your attention. Hard to tell how easy or hard he is because the T.A. grades hard. Would suggest teacher.

definitely knew his stuff. knew what he was talking about and it showed. tough course in general cuz there's a lot to cover but just be ready to take mad notes and study them hard.

HILARIOUS. I hate history and I loved this class.

FUNNY and brilliant!! quick moving class packed with material. lots of reading and studying involved, but worth it. he makes class fun, and i hate history. excellent teacher.

Professor Ingram is an excellent continuation of the British historical tradition. The two thousand year history of the British Isles is long and dramatic and deserves an enthusiastic instructor like Ingram. Cool bow tie!!

his class is almost complete Hobbes ... nasty, brutish, and not too short. That said, I learned more in this class than any other at OU. You'll work your tail off, but learn alot. Can't complain about that. Also, once you get used to his style, he's actually a great lecturer.

I suddenly realized at the very end of this class how much I had learned. The class is hard as a gulag but Ingram's alright once you get used to the incredible amount of reading. Recommended but word to the wise ... be prepared to work even if you just want a C

THIS IS NOT AN EASY CLASS! If you are not prepared to do the reading assignments and prepare yourself for class, then you are not going to do well. Ingram is an EXCELLENT professor. He's intelligent and pretty much tells you what he wants on the first day of class. Not to mention, he's pretty funny. Most of the time, I really enjoyed going to class

This is the best class I've taken at this school. Ingram is very good at teaching. He tells you everything that he expects on the first day of class, and he is not exaggerating. There is a lot of reading, but the lectures are very informational and he is the best prof I've had at OU. Highly recommended. He gives extra credit too.

its easy to be intimidated by Ingram, but if you go to his office he's actually quite helpful. he's the most demanding teacher i've had at OU, but you learn an incredible amount of things from him if you stick with it

Very Hard Exams and Paper

A very comprehensive class, but our exams did not resemble much of the important topics. I learned a lot, but when exam time came, there seemed to be a large amount of relevant trivia that was largely unimportant in the overall understanding of the concepts presented in class.

Granted I barely passed his class, but he's a pretty fair professor. I'd take another class taught by him any day.

best prof i've had at OU. he'll teach you to think like a historian. if youre a historian, you'll appreciate the quality of the content of this course. if you're serious about youre education at this university, you should take one of his upper-level early modern english courses.

One of my favorite professors. He has high expectations - you must read the assignments and come prepared to discuss them. He's really smart and he has a sarcastic, sometimes bitter sense of humor. He's great if you want to really think like a historian and learn things. If you're looking for an easy A, this is not the prof for you.

A pompous, but funny guy. He is one of the most enthusiastic professors about his material. Exam essays are relatively broad and exam in general is tough. Do the weekly readings if you wanna have any clue with what's going on in the discussion sessions. Can be challenging, but enjoyed the class a lot and would take any class from this professor.

He's really enthusiastic about the subject, which is nice. He also makes the content easy to understand. However, you are expected to do a LOT of weekly reading, and the exams are ridiculously hard. Overall, good teacher, awful tests.

Ingram is a really cool guy. His course is hard, but he makes it easy to understand in lecture. If you do the readings, participate in discussion, and do well on the exams, there is no reason you shouldn't get a decent grade in this class. I think History 330 (film) is the best class I have taken with him.

If you are serious about learning and want a college education this is the professor for you. You do not need a text book for this class as handouts are plentiful. Great Prof. if you are serious about college. I should have taken Ingram's class as a freshman.

Professor Ingram is the hardest teacher I've had so far at OU .... he's also the best. But don't take this class unless you're prepared to work and be challenged. He is not like the typical easy as pie OU prof.

I loved this class I was already interested in Tudors England and have read tons of stuff on the subject but he still taught me more. He makes the classes interesting. He is a tough grader I blew the class average out of the water on almost all grades and still ended up with a B and holds students to a high standard I will def take Dr. Ingram again

Great professor!

Ingram is a great teacher, however fast-paced this course may be. The issue with this particular course is the amount of material covered in such a short period of time. Be prepared to read a ton, and study until you eyes bleed, because his exams are like pulling teeth. All in all I'd take his classes any day, though I'm sure my grades would suffer

Really nice guy, class is pretty difficult. He makes you work for your grade and like any history class it's based on your TA. Takes pride in students hating him but actually an interesting class and an interesting guy.

He has a great sense of humor and is really passionate about his teaching. I enjoyed the class and thought it was easy

He's pretty great teacher for my class. He'll help when ever he can all you have to do is ask.

Ingram is tough. There's a ton of reading required and sometimes he goes off on tangents and its really hard to pay attention. But I have to say he's an excellent teacher. I never learned so much in one class. Know ahead of time that he DOES NOT GIVE A's! He said maybe 1/2 per semester for only OUTSTANDING students! Something to keep in mind.

This course s one of the more straight forward online classes. What an nline class should be.

The enthusiasm of this professor is great.

Ingram is hilarious! A goofy professor who acts like a college kid at times, but knows his stuff. He can provide a lot of insight, but get ready to read and read and read and read. And then read some more. Participation is key. So is note taking. Overall a good professor, although I wasn't too fond of the course.

He teaches like he's standing athwart history, yelling stop playing with your iphone and start learning about Western civ. And that makes his class worthwhile.

From day one you can tell Ingram is a great guy and great professor. He cracks really funny jokes in every lecture, which only makes his class better. At times he gets carried away with side stories, but they're always interesting so I don't mind. Read the material. Study the material. Read the material again. You NEED to understand it to pass.

I've never seen a syllabus with nicer fonts. Where does he get them from?

Dr. Ingram taught me the beauty of Goudy Old Style. I'll cherish it forever.

Ingram is so funny and i really enjoyed the class. Do the readings and you'll be fine!

Dr. Ingram's class is not hard if you attend lectures and discussions like you're supposed to. The tests seem like a lot but if you study your class notes you should be fine. Dr. Ingram is one of the best history professors I've had and is hilarious.

Ingram is an amazing professor. His class is interesting and you get in what you put out. If you participate in class and discussions it is a lot of fun. Do the reading and do it well. It is easy to get an A if you put in like an hour of effort on the reading. He also gives a ton of extra credit.

Dr. Ingram was the saving grace of my freshman year! Go to his class, study, take notes and get and A. The class isn't easy deal with it!

Dr. Ingram's section is challenging for only a 1000 level course, but so worth it. He is actually concerned with what his students takeaway from the class. Lecture isn't mandatory, but DO NOT miss it. He gives great information that is vital to exam success. He's also personable and makes lecture interesting with his side comments. Overall great.

The bow tieit works. If you want to continue being really stupid in the world, don't take this class.

This is the second time I have taken one of Ingram's courses, and I would take another one. Easily one of my favorite professors at OU. However, if you can't deal with reading, showing up, talking, and dealing with a professor who likes to talk and crack jokes (usually at your own expense) then don't sign up. But, it is very worth your time.

Dr. Ingram was the best. His lectures were very entertaining and had no problem keeping my attention. He had a very humorous, satirical way of teaching the material. He does make you turn in your cell phones every class and prohibits you from taking notes on your laptop, but you get extra credit for it in the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.

Okay, so here's the thing with Ingram. Man is a solid and passionate history professor, who enjoys what he does. And is willing to work with students. But if you think the class will be easy you're fooling yourself, readings every week and discussing sections are mandatory. Will not give you multiple choice exams, all essay and long answer response

Dr. Ingram has been one of my favorite professors so far at OU. The course is definitely reading heavy and theres a ton of content, but if you show up, take notes, and actually attempt the readings youll do fine! Ingram is energetic and hilarious. He is very accessible outside of class and his TAs are top notch. Youll gain a new prospective!

Ingram is one of my favorite professors at OU. He has a humorous personality but knows when to be serious. He gives extra credit for going to class and outside extra credit worth up to 10% extra on exams. DO THIS!! his exams are not that hard but you do have to study for them. Not an easy A, but not all too hard. I loved him!!

Good guy, very smart, but has a hard time staying on topic. Lots of tangents throughout lecture. Likes to give out bonus point and extra credit options. Ingram is good overall though. Easy person to talk to and very passionate about the topic he teaches. Seems like a great professor to do independent work with.

There's a lot of reading that goes along with this class, but if you're willing to put in the effort to read and go to class, I highly recommend taking him for this class. He's a really great professor

Ingram's a solid professor. He definitely knows his stuff and is passionate about it. However, The amount of reading every week is crazy, and the reading logs take FOREVER to do if you don't understand the readings well. Discussion sections aren't too bad for being online this semester, but watching lectures was the most boring thing this semester.

I took two European history courses with Ingram, and he was a great professor. His sense of humor made renaissance Europe tolerable, and his accessibility outside of class was amazing. Highly recommend taking Ingram if you get the chance.

I can understand why some people may not like Ingram. This class was the hardest class Ive ever taken at OU. However, Ingram understood how hard the pandemic was on us, and gave us a break. Hes funny, looks like Jim Carrey. If you make an effort to talk to him, he will help you out. Stop leaving bad reviews, hes not that bad.

Ingram was cool. Honestly, a really hard course overall for a survey. But he's a cool guy. He understands he's difficult and will help you through his classes. Great guy to talk to, and he loves bonus points (for the class I took). He was the first professor I had at Ohio University, and he was just great. Left a great mark on my time here.

Awesome professor. He will make you work, but he makes it fun. Very reading intensive and the 3 exams basically are your grade, except for weekly reading quizzes, which make up the other piece. If you have to take history of capitalism, take it with Ingram

This class really required a lot of reading and he will get you if you didn't. But the class was extremely engaging and interesting and he was fun. He gave the entire class extra credit on the final if I dressed as him on the last day so I did. Biggest problem I had was his disdain for the band Chicago, they are a good band.

Engaging class, but heavy on reading. Professor gives fun extra credit. Helpful study tools like Unstuck study complemented the course well.
