Excellent teacher ... good lectures... held my interest everyday... would highly recommend
awesome teacher, interesting, funny and engaging. liked him so much i took a total of 3 classes with him and would take another in a heart beat
Great teacher, raw political humor, kinda crass, but very excellent teacher. He keeps me wanting to come to class, lectures are almost addictive. Worth every penny
GREAT teacher! I take all his classes just so I can hear what he has to say. Straight-shooter and he will let you know if you're being an idiot. He'll make you read and write quite a bit but if you don't ditch, the class is cake.
A lot of reading and writing, but doable. He is so interesting to listen to, and I avoid missing class at all costs. I am taking him again next term.
Always fair and tries to help out students as much as possible.
Excellent proffesor. I have taken Mr. Andrews for Western Civ, as well as Vietnam. Highly reccomended.
If I were stranded on a desert island, and I could have one person with me, I would pick him. Best instructor I could ever ask for.

Reguardles of the people that don't have a clue (↓) and give bad reviews, you will love to be in any class this guy teaches. Almost ALL of the reviews are good. The proof is there. Ask around. This instructor is good because he dosen't teach in any "normal" fashion. If you do bad in his class, it's your own fault.
Mr. A's class is an experience no one should miss out on. Hey, guys lets face it we may not share the same views with every person we encounter, but if your looking for intelegent well rounded historical argument, dude Mr A's da one! And for all you crybabies out there, ask a round; hell, he'll even confess: he hands out A's like candy!!!!
Great teacher, extremely interesting and clear. He's very lenient on due dates as well, and will always do what he can to help you out. Highly recommended.
Excellent course, lots of detailed info, he is a liberal smart-ass... This is not a class for bible thumpers. It is best suited for those with high IQs.

Best teacher at TVI yet! He made every lecture an adventure through time. I went to class because I wanted to go to class.
All great men wear beards.
This guy is the best teacher of history in new mexico by far. Knows his****.
Great teacher...makes history understandable and interesting. I want to take more of his classes.
This is the best history teacher I have had.
Andrews is excellent. You want to go to class, if you don't you missed out on tons of notes. Hilarious and liberal. Best teacher I've ever had. Not an easy A, but it can be done. Want to take another one of his classes.
Fabulous teacher! I really enjoyed his class, and I learned so much. If you work hard you will earn an A. A lot of reading, but it was all very interesting. Wonderful and interesting lectures!!
Great teacher, keeps class interested with entertaining lectures and jokes. I was interested in learning as much as possible about the Vietnam War and I felt I learned a lot (I wish there were another Vietnam class). Although there were quite a few essays and books to read, I enjoyed it, challenging but fun. I highly recommend him.
The best history class i have ever taken, he made me laugh on a daily basis. Lots of readings but you definitely learn alot. I would choose him over all the other history professors
Absolutley Love! this guy, i would highly recommend him. His lectures are super interesting and although he seems to be invested in getting fired, i think he really likes what he does in general.
What kind of teacher has his own fan club/groupies?
He is the best teacher I have ever had! in a subject I never liked. I have learned so much!
Andrews is awesome, history isn't really part of my major but he made it very interesting and made me want to take more classes of his!..Highly Recommend!!
Mr Andrews is definately in the top 5 of all instructors. Not easy, but in exchange, you get the real history. This is not the class for anyone not willing to back up their****. This the instructor for people who care.
great professor!!
Amazing teacher!! The best I have ever had in college. Lots of written material, but you crave his lectures since he makes history so exciting. Take any class he teaches!
The best teacher I've ever had for history or any core class. The only assignments due are papers and weekly busy work. The papers a grading purely on content, so aslong as you complete them you will get an A. It's up to you to get them done there are no deadlines. DO NOT GET BEHIND
Andrews was one of the best professors I have ever had! His knowledge on the subject is amazing and he draws you in and keeps you coming back for more... I miss his class.
There is nothing ordinary nor predictable about this class! Andrews brings history to life with unusual side notes and challenges you to think about it in a way that's different from the ho-hum stuff you've been spoon-fed. Prepare to enjoy history if you take his class.
Absolutely amazing teacher. I am on the opposite end of the political spectrum but this man is as good as it gets. Gladly rank myself as part of his legion. I am a Military veteran with the utmost respect for his hippie liberal lectures :) Amazing memory and as complete of an understanding of european history as I have ever seen. MUST TAKE
I THOUGHT HISTORY WAS BORING, UNTIL I TOOK ANDREWS CLASS. BEST PROFESSOR EVER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, LOVE HIM.
You are probably the best teacher I have ever met. I hope to take another one of your classes comrade
Andrews teaches the entire history of humanity in hilarious and captivating lectures--without notes! Take his class. You won't be disappointed.
outstanding!
This is not a difficult class and you can do well without a strong effort, but if you want to learn about history you can learn a lot from Andrews. Classes are fun and rarely dull. But he knows his stuff. If you are conservative and sensitive about it, you might want to know there are several Bush jokes, and he is from the left.
Excellent and engaging lecturer, able to judge when his students are drifting and able to snap them back. Uses no notes during lecture and knows the material cold. Extremely talented professor whose ability is wasted at a sub-standard community college.
Greta class, you will learn a lot whether you want to or not. A lot of writing but all answers are easy to find in lectures and books. by the way, he is THE best lecturer in any class I have taken.
Andrews is the MAN. Despite what you view on history or pop culture is - you need to take him. The guy is brilliant and one of the best lecturers around.The work is super easy, just a buch of essays and writing - yet no due dates until the end of the semester. Go now..sign up.
AWESOME!!! HE IS THE BEST TEACHER!!!though he pushes his liberal propaganda but it’s all good he teaches you the psycho history of the people!! all you have are papers to write no tests he is the best teacher, he lectures and nothing more and you don’t have to read the text just take good notes!!
One of those rarest of rare educators who know their field AND knows how to actually express it with wit, charm and panache! Yes, his grading policy seems fluffy, but it is up to you to to challenge yourself in his assignments. Long live Sir Andrews. PS: He belongs at an Ivy League institution.
Interesting always keeps you on your toes. Makes you want to go back and learn more! He tells it like it is! No sugar coating, what I like.
The BEST professor! Not only was he funnny, but he made History interesting!
Mr. Andrews is awesome! He knows his stuff inside and out and makes you laug at the same time. If you hate history, he will change your mind!
Awesome teacher, must admit I enjoyed and learned an incredible amount-not just fact but deep understanding. Magnificent teacher!!!! Take his class if you can-he is great!!!!!!
Great teacher! I hated history before I took his class! He is the best! Would definitely take him again or recommend him to other students!
Awesome, he is a fantastic teacher!!! Take heart, CNM would be an excellent for learning with more teachers like Mr. Andrews. He is psyched and hot because he loves what he is doing ands we love him, too!!!!!!
Best teacher at CNM, only wish there were more like him. You will learn alot but you'll laugh all the way through.
Mr. Andrews is one of the best teachers I have had. He makes the class not only interesting but fun. I hate history, but would take another class with him after this past semester. He engages the class in a way that makes you want to learn more. If you get the chance to take one of his classes, do it, you won't be sorry.
He is awesome! Really enthusiastic!
Andrews is the best teacher i have came across in my long journey at CNM. He is enthusiastic about what he is teaching and knows the material very well. I was not looking forward to this class, but he makes it so interesting and grabs my attention for the whole lecture, in the summer!! TAKE STEPHEN FOR ANY HISTORY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
this man is amazing! he is so down to earth and real. i actually could careless for mideival times but he pulls you in. he is what teachers need to be! take him, your education deserves it.
Although I disagree with quite a few of Mr. Andrews personal views, he is still a wonderful instructor. I was extremely disappointed when I learned I had to take History but very satisfied in my instructor. I will be looking forward to taking his class again in the fall.
By far the best instructor I've ever had! Although he is a spoiled American who needs to complain a lot less about his government(because he is very lucky to have the best in the world), he is still the only profosser who is cool enough to have compared the viking long boats to in-laws.
BEST TEACHER FOR HISTORY! WANT TO LEARN HISTORY THAT ISN'T FROM ONLY ONE POV? TAKE HIM THEN. I'M CURRENTLY IN HIS VIETNAM CLASS... ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT!!!
He is a wonderful teacher, the best I have ever had, I would take a class from him even if I didn't have to!!!
Andrews is by far the best instructor I've had. His lectures are incredibly interesting and fun at the same time! I would reccommend anyone and everyone to take his class!
Stephen Andrews is a shining example of what a difference the instructor can make in a course. I have always hated history classes, but THIS guy has turned my assumptions upside down. His breadth of knowledge is immense but he translates it into consummable material that entertains.
Andrews is one of the best history teachers, I don't like history that much but i would take another class with him. He makes class so interesting, and clear, he is also willing to answer any questions I HIGHLY RECOMEND MR. ANDREWS FOR HISTORY...
good teacher
One of the best teachers around, he turned a seriously boring subject into the class I looked forward to going to the most. His knowledge of the subject affords him a great range in explanations, theories and current teachings spun with a sense of humor that can only come from a wealth of information and years of experience. Ok enough smoke, anyway
He is a brilliant, humane instructor and inspires me to know more about my world
Going into his class I dreaded History. Now he has inspired me to learn more. I have him as the first class of the day and so I stay motivated to come to class. He is very interesting and humerous. His teaching method is brilliant and I will be taking him for Western Civilization II.
Dude, seriously if you take history 1102 at CNM, get this teacher! He is probably the best teacher I have had at CNM. Period.
Andrews is SO awesome. I don't even need to take anymore history classes but after his 102 class I take his classes just because I want to. He is SO cool!! He has no due dates! He assigns 3 book reports, a mid-term and a final. Everything is take home and due by the last day of class. DEF recommend him for every hist class!!!
AMAZING TEACHER!!! DEFINETELY ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN HANDLE A LEFTIST!!! NO TOUCHY PEOPLE ALLOWED! I TOOK HISTORY BECAUSE IT'S REQUIRED FOR MY DEGREE AND BECAUSE NOW I WANT TO TAKE HIS 102 WITH HIM! FUNNY! REAL! AMAZING!
Wasn't a fan of history classes until I took his class. What an amazing teacher. Would love to take him again if I can.
Greatest Professoat CNM
Glad to see Andrews getting the recognition he deserves on this site. By far the best teacher I have ever had. It has been 10 years since Ive taken a class of his, yet to this day I talk of him often. I dreaded history. After taking his hist 101(the only one i was required to take) I went on to take every class he taught just for fun. Hail Andrews!
By far Andrews is the best teacher I have had it is a shame he only teaches history. Any one who needs history take Andrews you will not regret it
This was by far the greatest experience I have ever had in a history class. All test were tack home (including the final)and as long as I took notes, I had no problem. Prof. Andrews also did a fantastic job making the historical events come to life with his drawings and anecdotal accounts.
Great Teacher, made history interesting and fun.
easily the best professor i've ever had. his lecture on the battle of thermopylae was one of the most incredible moments i've had in my educational career. engaging lectures given with NO NOTES (dates and all). i learned more from his class than all my other history courses combined!
One of the best professors ever, I loved to going to his classes? made history so much fun?.
Take any class with this professor if you want highly entertaining and informational lectures. This was probably my favorite class so far that I have taken since starting college. Great professor.
If you take History at CNM, take this teacher! Absolutely amazing. If I had to find fault with him, and believe me, that is hard, it is that he is a bit too laid back - some students were falling into the trap of having a week left in the semester, and three to four papers due!
Awsome teacher! You have a take home midterm and final. Pretty easy if you take good notes in class. He does not always take roll but you should attend to get all the information you need for the midterm and final. His class is very interesting and goes by fast. You do have to write 3 papers on assigned books due at end of term. Those suck doing.
Made hist VERY amusing. A TON of homework, lots of writing. That was the only downside, but I'm taking him again because he made me LOVE history. Very smart rancher here, haha ;)
Best history teacher I have had. Made history fun and relevant.Lots of reading and 3 papers to write. Let's you know exactly what is expected and what will be on tests. I plan on taking another history course with him.If you are a whiner do not take and get a life.
I love this class, history always bored me but andrews puts you right there in the middle of whatever event he's describing. Totally makes it interesting and gives awesome lectures. I will continue to take his classes.
Stephen is one of the most knowledgeable history teachers I have ever had. He is not only able to explain the events well and in detail but ties them together with current events and people. He is funny and the classes I have had have always been amazing.
Andrews is an EXCELLENT teacher! he knows his material, and explains it well! he does give you alot of reading, BUT his no sugar-coating approach on history and tell-it-like it is/was method makes his classes very interesting! We need more teachers like him in EVERY subject! he makes his class fun to attend!
AMAZING
Andrews is awesome. He is by far the best lecturer at CNM! He makes his lectures fun and entertaining, all the while you're learning new ideas and concepts about history.
Stephen is great. He not only knows his western civ but also knows history of pretty much everything. He can tie almost any event that is being study to a similar event from another culture. He is very helpful and is willing to work with you and your schedule.
I love this professor. Not for everybody though(if you're a hardcore right-winger, he might offend you). He really knows his history and obviously enjoys it. He makes it a joy to appear in class and makes the topic interesting and fun to learn. He is clear with what he expects and it is pretty easy to get a good grade in his class.
He is the best history professor, the best lecturer I've ever had the pleasure to hear. Do not miss taking his classes! He's very funny, very liberal, one of the smartest people I've ever met.
Great professor! He is by-far one of the best professors I've had! Bravo!
He is awesome! Never enjoyed a class this much!!
This class is only a lecture class but its really easy. Just take notes and you will be fine. The 3 books reports are the hardest things but you have all semester to write them.
Andrews exhibits the best of what an Instructor should bring to their courses....honest as well-as objectiveness. Andrews exemplifies being an Instructor with his antics and his demeanor. Being noncommittal, yet committing himself and his knowledge entirely to what he believes in.
Andrews is the man. I have taken multiple history classes and never have i had such an interest and excitement to attend class every day. He is hilarious, and very intelligent, greatest teacher at cnm, and among history teachers i think he the greatest between both cnm and unm.You will learn a great deal and enjoy doing so.
Wow what a great teacher.If you like having fun while your learning,and still learn from someone who clearly loves people and who loves to teach, then I highly recommend this teacher. However, you still have to study.There is a lot of home work, but Andrews always makes it possible for everyone to do well. Great teacher!
Great Professor. Extremely knowledgeable about his subject. Obviously well spoken and brilliant. Would take another honors class from him in a heartbeat!
Andrews is most definately the man. He is a refreshing personality and a credit to CNM. He is by far one of the best teachers I have taken. The class is pretty much pain free and the dude knows what he is talking about. He is a gifted lecturer and is very entertaining. In this class you will learn a lot of cool stuff! Brilliant Teacher!
Andrews is amazing! He is such a good teacher. I usually dont like history but i left his class telling stories about what i learned. Hes not hard to follow in his lectures and is really laid back about his assignments. I would definately recommend him so anyone taking a history class!
He's alright. Funny and laid back. spends class telling jokes and how History is a waste of time and worthless major. After explaining how we wont use history ever in the real world and how useless it is he assigns 5, 5page minimum papers. 3 book reports off the most boring books available, but totally googlable Easy, fun, funny class. recommended
Frustrated with his life obviously but doesn't stop him from making fun of himself. He is hilarious and at the same time BRILLIANT! Have taken two courses with him and wouldn't stop myself from a third one. Five essays per semester and you'll be on your way. Two thumbs up for Andrews!
Great Instructor!!! A little silly at times but thats part of the teachig passion. Very easy class. Ive taken this instructor for two courses. the second time around the book wasnt even used. A couple of essays are required but are easily graded. I earned an easy A and actually learnd. After taking Andrews history will catch an interest in you
Just finished my second world history class with Andrews, it was great. Even though I don't need anymore history for my major I will still take his classes. If you take his class have respect by not talking!
Excellent!
Great instructor, and makes class fun. He is very easy going too.
Still taking his class, and loving every minute. Great history teachers are hard to come by, and though he pokes fun at history and himself, he can pull off an amazing lecture. Never dull, and really brings the history to life, and makes you relate to the people you're learning about. Amazing quality, and a helpful guy.
I took every class Mr. Andrews had to offer. I still recommend his classes even though I am no longer a student. My husband is now taking his class just for fun. He is an amazing both as a teacher and regular person. I would take his class over again if i could!
He was amazing teacher I still tell people about him, and they should take him for history.
Andrews is an awesome teacher! He is excellent at engaging the class and being on topic. He has a way of bringing history to life with great enthusiasm. He is not afraid to tell you how it is and his class was the easiest i have taken this semester. He helps you out a lot although you might not need it. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!
Amazing teachers! He explains history in away that is easy to remember. He is very entertaining and funny. I highly recommend him for any type of history class. He knows his history!
FUN, FUN, FUN.... and conservatives be warned! Great instructor, makes every class interesting and amusing. Work load is large, and not an easy A, you will work for it! If you are a liberal, or open minded, you will love his humor as I did. Looking forward to taking a second course with him.
He is top five in the best teachers at CNM easily. sll classes are fun never boring. be prepared to read but well worth it
By far the best professor I ever had. I wish he taught different subjects. Work is not east but still worth the class. This is the one class I couldn't wait to get to.
GREAT TEACHER. My favorite professor that I've had.
The BEST History instructor
Andrews rocks. He's funny, cares about his students, and is very understanding. I went to history class treating it like my favorite TV show, and learned a great deal. You really do learn more when you are smiling :)
GREAT teacher. He is an obvious liberal; refers to statements as coming from his "leftist clap trap." So if you can't handle his political comments and opinions (which he makes clear) then don't take his class. Can be crude at times. But regardless, he is a fantastic instructor who makes classes entertaining and fun. Learned A LOT.
Andrews is one of the most fantastic and engaging professors I've ever had! He knows his stuff and conveys it well in ways that stick in your brain. He is understanding and gives out a very reasonable workload to his students. I actually look forward to this class.
AMAZING TEACHER! Andrews knows history. He is hilarious and makes you want to got to his class. Its really easy to follow. Highly recommend him. I would take his class again if i could thats how great he is. Do not take anyone else for history. Hes the man!
Andrews is the BOMB baby. He makes me want to go to class. He made the class so interesting, I actually learned something I didn't care to know. Thanks for a great semester!
Awesome, funny, loved him
I wasn't really looking forward to taking a Western Civ. class, but Andrews gave it a whole new spin. He's funny, he's clear on what he expects out of the class. He's all about helping us. I loved him hands down. I'm taking another one of his classes this coming semester.
He is by far my favorite teacher. Ive taken 2 classes with him and actually look forward to his class. He's Very clear, alot of reading but its history. I havent laughed this hard ever in any class. I will definitely take more classes with andrews. He is a great instructor!!!
Amazing Teacher, funny, easy to follow, helps you out when you have any questions
Stephen is THE BEST in his field and his classes ALWAYS get filled quickly. I had to wait almost ONE YEAR to get into his West. Civ. I class... but the wait was SO worth it! He's funny and his sense of humor is contagious. He takes what is normally a dry subject and makes it FUN! Thank you Professor!
This guy is great! I signed up for him again. He's funny and really knows what he is talking about. If you don't have a sense of humor then avoid him-- if you do this is the teacher you want! I had a great semester.
He is a really great teacher! I didn't know what i was in for, when taking a wes civ class, but boy he is such a funny down to earth guy! I enjoyed his class very much. He also works with you and trys to understand unfortunate situations unlike other instructors. He is GREAT
Mr. Andrews was a great teacher. He was really funny! Made the class fun and for once i was totally engaged during the whole class! would so recommend him to everyone!
teaches you everything you never thought you HAD to know. an amazing teacher, hes old school and presents the best lectures i have ever recieved. extremely interesting and funny!!
I love Mr. Andrews!!! He makes history so fun. I've never been one for history, but Andrews makes it interesting. He's funny and you learn a great deal about what he teaches. I've taken Andrews three times already. I highly recommend taking Andrews for history, you will ove him!!
Awesome guy, great class for someone who really isnt into history, his guy makes it interesting.
I hate history, but he made this class interesting and fun! I definitely recommend him as a teacher. I'll be taking his western civ 2 class this semester!
OMG stephen is by far one of the best teachers i have had. he made history super interesting and he even says that it is boring. it is like he is story telling each time instead of lecturing. exams are super easy
Professor Andrews has a very unique take on lecturing about history. Although he keeps your attention and the class goes quickly much of the necessary criteria is not covered and the student is left to learn this information on their own. The class was easy with chapter quizzes, supplemental readers quizzes, midterm, final and a reaction paper.
Stephen Andrews is by far one of the best instructors I have ever taken at CNM. He is extremely funny, and I never didn't want to go to his class. He made history that interesting. I really like him...extremely funny man. Take him for history, and I promise you'll never be bored.
Andrews is an amazing and inspiring instructor and makes learning fun. I never missed a class, even if I skipped my before or after one, I always attended his class. Love it and him! You will not be disappointed!
This guy is the coolest dude ever. wasn't really looking forward to taking this course let alone in class but he made me actually want to go to class. Andrews is a must take!
Andrews is an awesome professor. Probably my favorite so far. I learned a lot from his class and I actually enjoyed going.
Amazing professor, makes his class interesting with his lectures, the due assignments are relevant easy to do for a college student. i highly recommend i am not a history nerd but with his lectures he finds a way to get you involved and interested in his class... compared to other half ass professors that work at cnm!!!
If you have to take history and dred it--here is the answer!! Steve is the only was to go and then LOOK FORWARD TO GOING. Wow, I now enjoy history.
Knowlageable, well informed, interesting, entertaining and hillarious. Could not ask for better professor.
This class was by far one of my favorite classes. it was fun and entertaining all the way till the very end. probably the easiest class I've ever taken for a history class at least.
Andrews is a pretty funny guy, which is great in a history teacher, since most are incredibly boring. Unlike most teachers he's willing to cuss a bit, and understands the student's perspective on the school and course. He's easy-going with homework and tests too, making this class my favorite by far. I also read 1984 finally thanks to him.
One of the best professor here @ CNM!! Mr. Andrews knowledge of history amazes me!!
I enjoyed every single class!He really made me think more about the world I'm in than simply learn about history, nalthough I did learn a lot of interesting things about history.
Andrews has reinvented history class. I excepted nothing short of a boring 2 hour lecture twice a week. He leaves you on the edge of your seat looking forward to the next class. I've already changed my schedule to take his 1102 & 2240 classes. Show up, pay attention and its a gift wrapped grade.
You want to take this class! Even if you've had absolutely no interest in World History before you will be at the edge of your seat at the edge of each lecture. I found myself running home to read the text to see what happened next. Not a "dry" class.
Take him!! He provides interesting lectures - you should take notes because the tests are half notes from class and half the online textbook. I really enjoyed his class and I want to take his other history courses just to listen to him talk.
Andrews is a phenomenal instructor. He doesn't lie about history and he will give you straight answers. He make you work, keeps you motivated and interested. He makes you laugh. He may seem pessimistic however the content of History itself overshadows his world views greatly. Go chat with him during office hours and prepare to be amazed.
Andrews is the coolest guy I know. Every single one of his lectures are like watching a Netflix show, by the end of class he'll leave you wanting more by giving you some cliffhanger sentence so you can't wait to show up next class. If you miss a lecture you feel like you've missed an episode :( What to expect: Common swearing, jokes, & check marks
Andrews is the best teacher at CNM. He is quite hilarious, really easy to understand, and really cool dude. His lectures are phenomenal! He is so knowledgeable in the History and makes you want more! He goes over the cool, interesting, and actually relevant material. I have been taking extra classes under him just for fun. A Total Bad A**
Awesome teacher. I would definitely take him again.
One of the most brilliant professors I've ever had. He's challenging, objective, makes you think critically and is not afraid to challenge your ideas. His lectures are phenomenal and moving. The Vietnam Class changed my life. He's really respectful and incredibly hilarious. He works hard to make it interesting; he's very wise. Show up and listen.
Mr. Andrews is devastatingly brilliant. I will forever retain the enlightenment he bestowed. The class met during the summer and he was awesome about acknowledging the needs of every student. The Universe has Mr. Andrews enlightening us students and what a fascinating gift it is to CNM students.
I have taken 3 of his classes and i will take more. I enjoy his classes.
If you dont take his class I dont know what you're doing with your life. He is one of the smartest most insightful hilarious person I have ever met. He is such a wonderful history teacher. Super knowledgeable and entertaining! I learned more in ONE class than I have my entire life about history. Must take!
Brilliant and inspiring instructor. I seriously don't understand why people are rude to him. Lectures are enjoyable. Not many assignments so it's important to do well on them. Make sure to take good notes because you will really need them for your midterm and final and because his notes are all over the place sometimes.
I have been to five different institutions of higher learning. I have had multiple professors, few i could remember, few that have really made an impact. Dr. Andrews is not only one of those professors, he is by far the best teacher I've ever had. His wealth of knowledge is delivered with a comedic undertone that will leave you craving for more.
I've taken notice, that Dr. Stephen Andrews' lectures are nothing less than pieces of art, that have been carefully crated throughout years of experience. Each lecture is unique, and is a "Andrews" style lecture. His classes follow a smooth and well thoughtout narrative, so if you miss class, its like missing pieces of a movie. MUST TAKE
Every lecture is Epic
I have nothing but the upmost respect for him. He truly loves his work, if he didn't then he wouldn't take the time to explain things in his humorous and enjoyable fashion. If you have any doubt in this professor, then read these facts. There are at least 25 students in his current summer class (16'), about 25 show up, ERRDAY.
Mr. Andrews is a pleasure to take. He is dynamic in lecture and communicates ideas clearly and effectively. He did not stress attendance in the class I took but missing his speeches is a wasted opportunity.
I absolutely love Andrews. He makes history come alive and it helped me enjoy history more than I already do. The tests are 6-8 page take home papers which are super easy to write as long as you go to class and take good notes. Attendance is taken but never used. No power points, all chalkboard writings and drawings. Open to questions and review.
I actually retained info from this class. I was never interested in history until hearing this guy lecture. absolutely love him.
One of the best teachers at CNM. You will actually look forward to listening to the lectures. His humor and story telling make history interesting, fun & relevant. He knows his stuff and does not use notes, just uses the chalkboard to tell the story. You will want to take more classes from him. I have taken 3! You need to attend class and read.
Amazing lectures. Possible in-class quizzes for final. Super funny. Very knowledgeable in material. Genius!!!!
He is super hilarious. I truly enjoyed attending this class, I never missed a class. I have never liked history but he makes it interesting to learn about it. He always made me laugh with his jokes. He gives extra credit points throughout the semester. The midterm was a ten paper long answer and the final was about eight papers long. Truly recommen
Doubleplusgood class
Steven Andrews was by far one of the best professors I've had at CNM. He is very clear as to what he wants for his class and he makes it so that you know what you are getting yourself into before you get in to deep so if you don't think you will be able to make it in his class you will know right away.
I have taken Mr. Andrews a few time. His classes are always very opinionated. Mr. Andrews will tell it like he sees it. He gives three 8-10 page papers, but will usually takes a 6-8 papers. You do have to go to the class and read the books to do the papers. He is hilarious and loves his burns. Honestly, I would retake his Vietnam class again.
Andrews is a great teacher. The very first day he lets you know there are only three graded assignments which include: Mid-term, reaction paper, and final. All of which are decently long papers. There is no homework what so ever and you will not need the textbook. Everything you need in that class will be from his lectures. He makes history fun!
Everything a professor should be; though provoking, controversial, opinionated, objective, and an outstanding intellectual who's deeply passionate and genuine.
Great supplemental readings and a real outlook on American history
The most passionate Professor i have ever met. Amazing informative lectures.
If you ever thought History to be a boring topic that is because you have lacked a passionate professor. I have gotten more out of history from this one professor then any other history course I have taken. He will challenge your views if you can back up an argument with facts he will change his view. He is open to change. This was a Vietnam War
One of the best instructors I've ever had (top two). Passionate lectures. Learned so much from classes: US 1 & 2, Vietnam War. Attend class because all material on midterm and final papers are covered in class. Take lots of notes. If you do this you do not need to read the text book, do read 3 splmntl books for reaction paper. 3 papers 100pts each
His passion. He is very passionate and caring about what he teaches
If you have the opportunity to take Stephen Andrews take him! Best professor Ive ever had. Hes incredibly entertaining and informative. He made history fun to learn. I enjoyed writing the 3 papers he requires, as I felt very well versed in the subject because of him. He is fantastic!!
Took his class twice. Great teacher always had really interesting lectures and made learning clear and fun. He is very out and open about his beliefs, but is respectful and listens to other people's points of view on the subject/material.
He gives very detailed lectures and allows you to record them for your midterm and final.
Hes the best. Makes you want to come to class. His lectures are so interesting. I will recommend him to everyone I come across that needs or wants to take a history class.
Professor Andrews is a great professor and he knows it. His lectures make history come alive, and while he purposely chooses to be provocative, he is still considerate of other views and won't take it out on your papers if you don't agree with him. He knows history incredibly well, and inspired me to think about becoming a history teacher. Loved!
Amazing and knows how to keep the students engaged.
Amazing professor!! I have such respect for someone who teaches such a delicate subject. You can tell that he has a passion for history and teaches this particular class because he cares so much about the subject. Would totally recommend his class! Lots of reading and 3 papers but you'll learn a lot!
This was the most entertaining class I've ever had, and I learned so much. Only three papers but you have to really think and understand the material to write them. So much is covered in his classes though that its really hard to miss one. He is very up front with his beliefs but will respect yours if you respect him. Take this class!!
I see most everyone has given Stephen a 5, and I must add to that lot. Stephen is absolutely incredible. Not only does he make history something worth given a darn about, he does it with flare, with dozens of laughs, and with hard truths. He is intellectually brilliant and I could listen to him lecture for hours at a time. I am so glad I took him!
Andrews could be in stand up comedy if he werent teaching. Besides being incredibly engaging, he is so knowledgeable, challenging, and caring. Come for the lectures, stay for the updates on his dance career. He is very outspoken, but dont worry about it if you can have respectful discourse over more difficult topics. Highly recommend!!
Spends about half the time teaching and half the time writing check marks of how many "jokes" he has attempted. The whole class is graded off of three papers. This was fairly mind numbing as clearly all that is needed is to regurgitate the notes back to him. Took no critical thinking. Told stories about himself not pertaining to class. Easy class.
I really enjoyed his class. I learned so much. I have tooken his class several times and if I could I would take many more. There was a lot of papers to write, but it was worth it.
Interesting lectures once you get past the 20 minutes of him talking about how many students were nice to him and how many were nasty. Its bothersome and I'm not interested in that at all. I'd really rather just hear about the course material. Otherwise easy exams. Summarize everything he says. No thinking required.
The class was fine. Good stories about the ancient world but I felt like it was narrow and nothing about the Middle Ages. It would have been better to get some grade comments too.
Professor Andrews is a brilliant man and a great teacher! He is straightforward about his expectations and his interpretation of history. He incorporates interesting anecdotes, perspectives, and he mythbusts and underlines key points in history. He is also an incredibly kind and intelligent human being. I took all of his classes at CNM!
This guy is one of my all time favorite professors. Lectures are smart, funny and informative. Only requirements; Show up, read the material, wrote 3 small papers. Learn something. Easy A.
Professor Andrews is a fantastic teacher. His lectures are enthralling and he cares about his students. At first I was intimidated by his outspoken style, but then I met with him and he went out of his way to advocate for me. I feel in-debted to him, and the three classes I took from him helped me see my place in the world more clearly.
Stephen Andrews is one of those rare breeds of professors who somehow makes every class an utter delight (seriously hes hilarious) while also feeding you real and accessible knowledge. This guy knows his stuff. Youll not only learn but it will stick with you- youll remember his lecture on the Eurasian food package years from now. Hes that good.
Good knowledge.
Prepare to eye roll and FF a lot because he will go on and on (and on!) in what he calls a series of teaching moments with all the boring details of handling unwarranted and baffling problems that arent even from this class. Lectures were ok once got thru these endless problems but definitely not as brilliant as he insists others find them.
Old style lectures delivered right to your e mail. Andrews tells interesting tales about major players in history with the kind of background you get in a documentary. I look forward the next installment every time. Exams and paper requirements are long but if you love the topic and writign it will come easy.
Online intro to vietnam class. 4 books. Long lectures. He knows his stuff. Only graded on 3 big essays. Quick email responder. Need a lot of time for his class throughout the week.
Stephen Andrews is one of my favorite professors! His lectures are so interesting that it made me want to minor in history. You have 3 assignments throughout the entire semester. They are big assignments but you will be more than prepared for them. Andrews does everything he can to make sure you succeed in his class. I highly recommend him!
One of the best professor I have ever had. I fell in love with history because of the way he teaches. His lectures are inspiring and captivating. We wrote 3 papers. He was so kind and you can tell he really cares about his students. Challenging class but an easy A! Over all I loved this class. I will take any class as long as he is teaching it!
I was confused a lot throughout the class because recorded lectures seemed to come from prior semesters. He kept talking about a paper that wasnt assigned. Seems like a good instructor but needs to either be clear and current or edit his videos better.
Best teacher I have had. He does not push his beliefs. He guve you informat and has you develop your own ideas. I am looking forward to taking more of his classes. Everyone should take his classes.
If you're an avid reader and like to write then you'll be good. Lectures are about an hour and they're pretty interesting. I enjoyed the lectures. He grades fairly. I would take his class again.
Profesor Andrews was the best teacher Ive ever had. When he teaches, he really brings history to life, his level of detail is impeccable, in a way you really feel like youre there. I have taken all the classes he offers at CNM.
Professor Andrews has been my favorite college professor and quite possible my favorite teacher of all time. The class is lecture heavy and there are only a few graded assignments but hes upfront with all of this. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed all of his lectures. It was a challenging but stimulating class that Ill never forget.
Really great teacher. Very knowledgeable about what he teaches. Very accommodating too. Will be taking another one of his classes.
Professor Andrews is amazing! His class is great and he's super easy to work with. I highly recommend his classes.
My favorite class! definitely recommend. each week you read the textbook, take notes, and take a quiz. self paced. There are 3 books assigned to read. I love reading so I enjoyed it, but if you don't enjoy books maybe try another professor. But if you don't go with another professor, you should still do good in the class. it's hard to fail.
Easily the best class I've taken yet.Enlightening and infuriating.
He was great!!!
Engaging lectures, helpful professor. Use Unstuck study AI, read the text, and attend class - you'll learn a lot. Challenging but manageable.
Absolutely amazing lectures, don't even bother with the textbook because he goes over everything you need to know in a fun memorable way. You'll read 3 books (They're not super long) and he wants your personal opinion on them so SparkNotes probably won't help. No homework outside of the Midterm, Final, and 3 Book Reactions, all are 3-8 pages.
I highly recommend Mr. Andrews. I liked his way of teaching and he responses you as quickly as possible if you have any questions. There were 3 books to read alongside with textbook.
Fantastic teacher. A little mean sometimes but not in a directed way (usually). Often speaks his mind. I really don't have anything to say that he could improve on. Gives a lot of reaction papers.
3 essays, 45 pages a week of reading. A quiz every week. (quizzes were kind of hard) a final and a midterm. I do not learn that way, so it was hard for me.
This class was the highlight of my week. The lectures were engaging and I can't wait to take the rest of the classes that he has to offer. Reading a lot is standard for any history class... the material is enlightening and applicable to daily life. He may come off blunt, but he's genuinely understanding and flexible if you show effort.
Amazing. He was so knowledgeable, he really understood what has needed. He always throws his opinion into the lecture but is open to everyone's opinion!! Love him so much!!!
I had him as a history professer well over 20 years ago at CNM, and I still remember his lectures and he easily one of the best teachers I have ever had.
He speaks his mind and makes it very obvious the first day. He's a great man who has a passion for teaching and not much for history not to say he won't teach it in the best way possible. The lectures were fun, memorable, and hilarious. He was the highlight of my week and I highly recommend taking any of his classes before he retires.
