Has a stupid 10 minute rule. Don't show up 10 minutes after the start of class, he won't let you in and he doesn't accept exceptions. Participating in class is a thing, like he will take points away if you don't join discussions. Weekly assignments are annoying.

Good and fair professor. He doesn't come off preachy when he lectures, he breaks it down so that you can understand. The class content is heartbreaking. He lectures about a lot of stuff that isn't spoken on. Prepare to do a lot of reading and writing but it's definitely worth it.

So this class was online no meet. Prof. Bratcher made it really clear with the assignments we had to do, which were all based on the reading for that week (for a history class, I expected a lot more reading). The only way to not do well in this class is to not read because all the answers are right there. It's also really to catch up when behind!

I think Professor Batcher is a great professor, they are understanding and willing to help you on anything and will work something out . His teaching methods is that you watch videos and write notes on them and then you have a big discussion on what you agree on and what you don't agree on and what would you like to learn more about.

I truly enjoyed taking this class, as it was both engaging and entertaining to explore Latin American history and its impact on our present. The coursework was generally straightforward, though it became more subtle as we progressed.If you struggle to attend classes regularly, this may not be the right fit for you.

HIST-101-300 We started by learning about the origins of humanity in Africa, then to the founding of the United States and then eventually to slavery and freedom fighters of the 1800s. I really liked that we touched on African history. The workload was easy too. The teaching style was interactive and fun! I felt like I was able to learn well!

Overall this was a calm class. The history I learned was interesting. The class structure is straight forward you get a few video lectures with questions and a weekly review chart to fill. The class is overall easy as long as you do the assignments before they close. My only little complaint is sometimes the teacher can be hard to reach.
