Awesome teacher... makes class a blast!!

Awesome teacher...very full of himself, but very smart...be prepared to think and do a LOT of work, especially in his HIS200 class

tons of hard work, but rewarding. pay attention, do the readings and writtings, and participate with knowledge. NEVER MISS CLASS!!!

great prof strong views learned much about how to be heathly and lose weight sit and talk you might just learn something

keeps me awake in the morning funny and knows tons of stuff great for history

Legg is awesome- you gotta go to class to get the notes you will need for his exams. Cool guy,fun class. Do your best and you will do fine.

Dr. Legg is awesome! Don't listen to any one else. If you go to class and take notes that is all you need for the tests. I rarely read the text book and I still did well on all his tests. Just pay attention and you'll do fine! He is very funny and he love

Legg was an awesome teacher...participate in class and have fun with the guy and you will do well. He tells you what he wants from his tests which are all essay...Just do what he says and you will do fine

I love Dr.Legg!! Great teacher, smart,and gives you what you need to succeed.Grow up and understand you are in college!Cool course.

best professor in wcu

A good teacher who really cares about his students. He's challenging, but he'll really make you think.

Dr. Legg is a good professor. He demands the right amount of work for a level 200 class, and he expects full participation from his students. If you stay on his good side, he is not mean and nasty. Just don't pull stupid things in his class.

Need to do a lot of reading, writing, and thinking in his class. Isn't the most fun class, but it is one that you come out of feeling like you got your $'s worth.

Prof. Legg is a great teacher. He won't tolerate disrespect so if you feel he was mean to you, well you probably deserved it. He's is extremelly insightful and makes a difficult class enjoyable.

good guy knows his stuff but is not as good as webster in the dept chair postion get him out

Hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had. He WILL make you look at history in a new light, no question about it. Expects ALOT from his students, but it's reasonable. It definitely will make or break a history major. I definitely recommend him, makes 3 hours feel like 1 1/2 hours.

kind man and very sexy. Going to class was a pleasure.

I learned a lot from his class about history. Now I have a very new prospective on history. THANKS to Dr. Legg!! You can pass the class!! As long as you are always there, read the work (and do the note cards each day), & work really hard. But remember the class is challenging.

I see that many people do not like Legg, and i'm willing to take a guess that it is because they are uncomfortable with work being hard. This teacher isn't easy, because he wants you to think. Are we in college to have work done for us? If you want a class that will leave you with something more than a grade, take Legg, he gives u a run for your $

Dr. Legg is probably one of the most influential and compassionate history profs. He has helped me with so much- searching for grad schools and everything else. He's a great man to talk to if you have an problems or concerns about life in general. If I was 20 years older, I'd marry him.

you can't be afraid to work in this class, because honestly that's what historians do- we read... A LOT! if you can't deal with the work load, then don't be a history major. dr. legg is an incredible teacher and individual. he cares and loves every student he encounters, and you don't get that with a lot of profs. he's changed my life immensely

Legg is tough. Don't expect to hear much if you email him and DO THE ABSTRACTS THE NIGHT YOU READ THE PAPERS!!! DON'T PUT THEM OFF!!! Oh, and don't expect to get much back (grade wise) from him. You'll learn a lot but you have to earn your grade.

Dr. Legg taught my methods class and he is one of the most amazing professors that I have ever had. I wish I could have taken more classes with him. I think the majority of students dislike him because they are slackers. You do not belong in his course if you are not a serious student. I bet his critics have low GPAs.

Dr. Legg's methods class taught me a great deal about history, but it was by no means easy. I enjoyed Dr. Legg's discussions, and I found his class to be tough but fair and rewarding. He is a very skilled educator and a worthy historian.

Legg was great for varieties, there was a lot of work but none of it was busy work and a lot of it will come in handy when it comes time for a seminar class. He is a fair grader but don't expect any hand outs from him in terms of grades. Do the work and show him your moderately intersted and you'll do fine.

Legg was the best professor I ever had. Legg was very challenging and demanded excellent work but in the end it was worth it. I had him for varieties and senior seminar and thought he made both classes very interesting. He can be vague, but I think it was in order to make you think for yourself. Very helpful as an advisor too!

His wife is an native american and he loves native americans. I like him as a teacher, he assigns a lot of reading but i don't do any i just go to class, take notes and get B+ or A- which i think is good.

very well.

He's an okay professor. Sounds like a mix of kermit the frog and ernie, and for the first half of the semester all i could do was sing to myself Rubber Ducky...but when you do actually listen you can understand what he's talking about...so if you can deal with a bad sense of humor and nasally voice, go for it.

dont buy the books. at first i thought he was corny but he was very helpful. the class was fun by the end of the semester. take notes. he posts his lecture slideshow online. print them out and just google evry topic on the slides and write down a couple sentences about each topic and the class is easy. if u do tht, youll get at least a B. fun class

Great professor who really knows what he's talking about. But, you must read the books! All your essays are on them.

I love Dr.Legg!! Awesome teacher and as long as you go to class, read the weekly readings, and take comprehensive notes your golden!

Dr. Legg is a great history prof. He is tough and makes you work, but you really learn the info. that the class is about. I have now taken him for 3 straight semesters, he is great. You have to read the books as your essays deal with them and your classes are mainly discussion.

Great man. Very kind! this was an upperlevel class. never took attendance but there was reading every night and the next class is based on discussion of reading and topic of the day. no surprises but tough grader. not a lot of work just a lot of reading. Legg is the man! this was one of my easier classes. would take again!

He is awesome! Forget the people who say he is boring or hard. He makes class interesting, and I hate history. all essay tests, but its not difficult at all! TAKE HIM

Prof Legg is a good guy. He knows his subject matter very well. He has good stories, and is pretty down to earth. THEN, there's the other side. HIS 300 was the first intense history class I took and probably still is, compared to later courses. It requires a lot of work and refining of skills. He's a nice guy, but tough! Know what you r gettin into

I was worried in the beginning of the semester because all he does is talk the whole class, but as time went on I realized that if you listen to him and take notes you will do well on the test. Study the notes and you will get A's. You dont even need to read the textbook. I would definitely take him again!

I was scared the first day of class because I had heard such awful things about his class but none of what I heard was true! Dr. Legg's class was by far my favorite class. He's nice and his class was fairly easy. Only 4 tests during the year but as long as you pay attention and go to class you are fine. He also kinda sounds like Kermit the Frog.

Dr. Legg knows ALOT about history and is a great teacher. He is quite challenging; however, it was worth it in the end. As long as you attend each class, take notes, and read the asigned readings, you'll do fine with no problem. Very nice man and cares for his students.

Dr Legg was so nice! He will talk the entire class but as long as you listen and take good notes you will get A's on the tests! he assigns reading but they arent mandatory and i never did them and still did really well. attendance is not mandatory but if you want to do good on tests its sorta important to go to class

Dr. Legg is a great professor. At first I felt like his tests were difficult, but if you do the readings (depending on what class you have him for) you will do fine. As for history majors, he teaches so you will do things right in the future. Its difficult at first, but it really pays off, especially in his 300 course. Will help you with ANYTHING.

Dr. Legg is a very nice man, he is one of my favorite professors at WCU. He's immensely helpful and very knowledgeable. His lectures are interesting and he keeps you engaged

I took Dr. Legg for HIS 152 first semester and came back again for HIS 151. Quizzes are usually 5 short questions and a short essay on on specific reading every week or two weeks. Only 2 exams plus a final which are essay responses. He always makes clear connections and loves class discussion. Show up to class to avoid using the book.

I had Dr. Legg for HIS 152 and i enjoyed him so mucht that I took him again for 151. He knows the material very well and will go out of his way to help you out. He is a very nice person and expects the same in return. As long as you attend class and do the work, you will pass. Very enjoyable class

Dr. Legg is extremely intelligent which some 'smart' students find intimidating. Expect to do the work that is assigned and do the readings. Do this and you'll be fine.

Dr. Legg is the best professor I have had at West Chester. He is not easy and gives a lot of reading, but you will learn more about history than you ever have if you engage and actually put the work into the class that he expects. If you want a typical history class that teaches you nothing about history, take someone else.

Dr. Legg is one of if not the best history professor at West Chester. If you want to learn how to do real history and work like a true historian you should take his class. It will be hard, time consuming, and a little overwhelming but it is completely worth it. His classes have helped me more than any other classes I took at West Chester.

Dr. Legg is one of if not the best history professor at West Chester. I took him for 151,300, and 400 and can honestly say i learned more in his classes then in any class at West Chester. His classes are hard and he challenges you to do real history but it is worth it as you learn so much.

Such a sweet and caring man. Before classes start he always has conversations with his students. Tests were right from the power points. No writing assignments. 5 question quizzes on reading assignments. Definitely taking him again!

Dr. Legg is by far my FAVORITE professor at West Chester. He is incredibly intelligent and has a way with words. When he tells his stories, you cant help but smile and interpret historical events. I took him for HIS 300, and compared to some of the other history professors that teach 300, he is a BREEZE. Take him if you want an amazing mentor.

The class was a breeze if you paid attention and attended class. No textbook because he provided it for you online. Most of class was a discussion led lecture. The exams were all writing, but the questions were fairly general.

Dr. Legg is an extremely intelligent and interesting professor to have. I had him for 300, a core major class and his teaching style is very fitting for this class. He asks a lot of questions and will challenge you on your answers even if you're right. For quizzes, all essays. There's a lot of reading but it's pretty interesting.

Dr. Legg is a great teacher. I will admit that his test questions can be a bit subjective and your grade is based off of four tests and quizzes, but nonetheless, he is an awesome prof. He takes an interest in all of his students and will go out of his way to help you should you ask. I would definitely recommend going to his office hours.

Dr. Legg was amazing! He understands not everyone is a history major and he teaches in a way that is understandable to all. His grading methods are fair and clearly explained. He is willing to help whenever asked. I would definitely take him again and recommend him to anyone!

If you don't pay attention in class you won't get a good grade. The only grades he puts in are tests and quizzes so you have zero chance of pulling your grade up if you don't do well on either of those. The lectures are long and boring and you will be looking at the clock the entire time.

I'm a history major had Dr. Legg for methods and US. He is an amazing professor but if you want help from him you need to ASK HIM. Go to his office hours, he will help you if you're struggling. He is both interesting and hilarious. His classes have kept me interested through the whole semester, and reassured me that I want to keep studying history.

Dr. Legg is an excellent professor. He is very clear in what he expects from his students, and if you complete the readings and come to class prepared to discuss them, you'll be fine. This doesn't mean it will be easy, but this was a graduate level class, and so he expected graduate level work. If you like American history, I would recommend him.

He asks a lot of questions, but it really makes you think differently and you're able to understand the bigger picture. I love going to his class. He's really helpful. Overall a wonderful man, so sweet.

Pros: He teaches differently by asking you a lot of questions to lead you to the answers, there is no homework, you gain a different perspective of American History Cons: He lectures all class, the slideshow doesn't help/isn't posted on D2L, tests are hard, you don't need the book

Dr. Legg is a great professor. He makes class enjoyable and is so kind. There are a few readings that you need to do that aren't in the textbook, but he makes them available online. I would recommend Dr. Legg to anyone who needs this class. The book will help you on tests, so I would get it.

Dr. Legg was awesome for 151. He asked a lot of questions, but you learn more from him than most professors. I always enjoyed going to his class and I look forward to taking his other course's in the future. Read the textbook before class, you'll be able to answer questions. He's a great guy, without a doubt my favorite professor at West Chester.

Dr. Legg is such a great guy! Yes the class is hard and yes you do have to work for an A, but it is definitely possible. Write down EVERYTHING he says in class because he puts it on the test word for word. A lot of writing on the tests and not many other grades besides quizzes. He is an amazing professor nonetheless! Take him for 151 only.

Professor Legg is such a sweet man. While he was not the most timely in handing things back, he is so nice and cares about his students. His class was difficult, probably my hardest that I took at WCU, I learned so much from him and now that I am in graduate school, I respect him even more for what he taught me.

Wonderful professor! He's very entertaining and genuinely cares about his students. Always a class I looked forward too. 15 chapters, 10 quizzes and you get to drop the two lowest quizzes. Wonderful Guy.

Dr. Legg was my favorite professor last semester. He made his requirements for the class very clear and if you follow those requirements, you should get an easy A. There were 10 reading quizzes and he dropped the lowest two quizzes. There was one writing assignment and the final was a piece of cake. You just have to read the book and you'll do fine

Legg, a very knowledgeable professor for maritime history, knows all of the ins and outs of the topic and loves to share his knowledge. there are many readings and articles which he will quiz you on from time to time, usually with advanced notice. class has 4 novels that it covers that are very interesting and are the topics of tests. good class

Loved this guy!! Second best professor I've ever had. You'll learn so many interesting things from his lecture. He makes everything relatable and interesting. He's a really intelligent guy and he cares about what he teaches. Make sure to read the book consistently because he quizzes you on the upcoming chapter every week.

Dr. Legg is incredible. If you actually put forth effort in this class, you will do well. Reading the chapters and taking notes before class is the best way to get a good grade. He focuses more on the "big picture" than specifics. The textbook perfectly outlines what he is expecting you to know for the test. Definitely recommend!

Very intimidating but tells it to you straight. Hes truly passionate about what he does and helped me so much with my research ability. Theres SO MUCH reading so be prepared. The final is blue book 10 questions on the whole semester so never doze off. Have a reason to miss class dont just miss to miss cause he knows. He wants you to succeed

Professor Legg is the best professor/teacher I have ever had in my life. The class is by no means easy and you will have to work to see good grades, however I have never learned so much in my life. He constantly uses analogies that connect ideas and expects you to understand the big picture. He, nor the class is intimidating as others are saying

Overall good teacher. On the tougher side but does a good job explaining his slides with out of history questions. Pretty relaxing though, not too serious of a guy. Would take a class of his again.

This class is one of the only classes that I felt like I was learning in, and he is a very caring professeur. You don't need the textbook because it won't help on tests. All of his test questions come from what he says in class. He speaks very fast, so I would recommend typing your notes.

Dr. Legg is a great professor. He assigns readings that you are quizzed on, but as long as you actually read the quizzes are super easy. He only keeps your 4 highest scores. Tests arent bad. Make sure you write down everything he says in class. There are 3 assignments (5 questions each) that require you to think but arent hard at all.

Professor Legg is the best professor I have had in college. I learned more through his lectures than I ever have in a history course and found myself very interested in the material he was teaching. It is important to write down everything he says during lecture. Participation is not mandatory, however, it makes the class far more beneficial.

I really enjoyed my time in Dr. Legg's class! I had him this semester and he fell sick so he was out for a week which resulted in us being a bit rushed at the end but overall I really enjoyed the class! You have to do the readings, there's no way around it but if you do them there is no reason you shouldn't pass the class.

My favorite professor so far at WCU. Professor Legg really enjoys teaching and getting to know you. If you come to class with an open mind and a positive attitude you'll enjoy the class. Take good notes and go to every class and you'll do well. Not that much work.

Professor Legg was difficult but I learned so much from his lectures!

Professor Legg is an absolutely marvelous professor if you love history, bonding with professors, and receiving all the information you need for the test in class. Every class is a lecture, but they are ALL quality and time flies. Tests are insanely easy if you just write a 60 second synopsis after each lecture. A must take if you love history.
