good teacher clear and to the point. Adds a lot of military stuff.
Excellent instructor - clear and to the point on both material and what to know for tests. Easy to learn from and enthusiastic about the information.
This is one of the best History professors I've had. He lectures and gives just the facts, no opinions on things that have nothing to do with History. (I.E. Bush and the Iraq War)His tests are fair, you have a mid term ,and final, along with several quizzes and writing assignments during the semester. He does a good job and I would recommend him.
Easiest teacher I have ever had. All you had to do was memorize the multiple choice on the website. He is also very nice and fun. His major is in European history not American though, so he didn't teach many of the fun details of early American history.
Fun class makes things interesting too. A nice guy but don't try to take advantage he can be tough if you are lazy.
If you want a great history teacher pick Mr. Fizpatrick! He's an awesome guy and uses humor to teach!
Awesome teacher! Very clear about expectations from students. Very enthusiatic and excited about history - he made the class very intresting. Made himself available if you needed extra help.It seemed like he cared if you did well in his class or not.Very upfront about what information you needed to know for tests. I would LOVE to have him again.
-corrected version[read this one]I'm really not a history person, but this has been my favorite history class ever. The teacher has a great since of humor and speaks in a manner that holds your interest.He always hinted at quiz dates and was always available for office hours. I would recommend him.
Good guy. Very intelligent. Go to class and pay attention, and you're fine.
I enjoyed this class, he went over the material and showed a lot of interest in the material he was teaching. I spent a lot of time studying for this class' final, but if you have a good memory and are any good at taking notes you can pass this class. He was a funny guy; I generally enjoyed his class, despite it was my hardest this semester.
he's cool. and he'll work with you.
GREAT TEACHER! Just go to class!!!! His notes are perfect and all on the test dirrectly, he is by far the best teacher I have ever had! I loved history class only because of this teacher.
Two rules: Go to class & read the text! He's a great teacher. Makes history interesting and fun to learn about. Uses slides with clear notes. Tests are usually fill in the blank but most everything from notes or assigned reading. I loved this class!
VERY AWSOME DUDE!! Makes class fun and entertaining. He does his lectured as if he were telling a story. Very funny as well. Go to class all the time, take notes and read the book and you'll do just fine. TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM!
Very generous teacher. Makes the material interesting. He does not require attendence, assigns a few in-class papers but they arent hard. There are a few quizzes, a mid-term & a final. The final is hard, but thankfully he is nice enough to give curves. Great teacher. DEFINITELY recommend him if you want and interesting but easy teacher!
Mr. Fitzpatrick was my favorite professor this semester! His class was informative and entertaining, and I definitely learned a lot. He's also really funny, and he uses his jokes no get you to remember stuff sometimes. He gives you in-class papers and quizzes, but they aren't hard to do well on if you read and take notes. I'd recommend his class!
i thought this class was not only enjoyable but informative. i learned more than i had in most of my other american history classes. he jumps around in his lectures, but it's totally worth listening to. also, his jokes may be corny as all get out...but again, totally worth it. the best part of the class, i think,was either the reenactments/discussi
Corny, but funny. Easygoing and respectful. Lenient and understanding. I didn't enjoy the subject, but I believe I passed simply because he made it possible to do so.
Took him fo a fall express class. Quizes were easy if you pay attention in class and do summary style readings. If you read everything easy A+. He's fair, respectful and understanding. All around great class, great teacher easy course.
This teacher tells you everything you need to know and keeps everything simple. He is very funny and very informative. The only way to fail this class is to refuse to do the assignments or never show up.
He was fantastic I would take his class again! He made history interesting for me, a feat I thought impossible. The only thing I didn't like was that he won't tell you when the quizzes are, you just have to show up and find out, or hope you don't skip on a test day.
Really great!
Fitzpat was a lot of fun, he has a lot of enthusiasm about what he teaches and makes it a lot less boring. His quizzes are easy if you read, otherwise you struggle. He has some really cool papers and assignments that make history useful today. I recommend him, wish I had him for 2010!
Fantastic teacher! He is funny and he really cares about his students. The quizzes are moderately hard, but he gives you plenty of extra credit on them. A lot of quiz questions are on the final exam and midterm. Trust me, this professor makes history easy. I learned a lot and got a high A.
great teacher. Quizzes are hard if you don't thoroughly read. Midterm, final exams, and papers are quite easy. If you READ you are guaranteed an A!!!
Mr. Fitzpatrick is a Great Teacher very, helpful and teach so that you understand and he's FUNNY!!!!!
Mr.Fitzpat is Funny and he make HISTORY Fun. I never taught I would say History was Fun but Mr. Fitzpat changed that tought. Thank you for making this and enjoyable learning experience. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! and as the others stated if you read you will make an good grade!! Thank You!
Awesome professor. He definitely knows how to keep you from falling asleep in class. Also missing a few classes is not going to detriment your grade. So don't worry if you miss a coupe of classes. Just keep up on quizes!
I hate history. He made this class very interesting. Yes the lectures do get boring sometimes & make you want to fall asleep, but he makes it fun. The mid-term & final are very easy giving you more questions that he counts, the rest are extra credit. The quizzes are easy if you study for them. Make sure you just read the book & lectures. I got a B+
Fitzpatrick is the best. He has a good sense of humor and makes history a little bit interesting. Also, this guy is very smart and tests are more than fair.
I loved him he has a great sense of humor and made the class very inresting. As long as you do the work it is an easy class and he prepares you well for any of his tests.
Be prepared for a ton of "fill in the blank" during his lecture. He likes to ask random students questions, so read the book and keep up.
Write down and study everything he goes over in the notes and you will end up with a %100. He gives you absolutely everything you need in this course. If you don't make an A, it's your fault.
Fitzpatrick has a great, albeit corny, sense of humor and is a genuinely nice guy. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he doesn't put his powerpoint slides online and 90% of the classwork is based on what he goes over in the powerpoints. Although he lectures, he makes the class engaging and entertaining. Highly recommended!
Fitzpatrick is a very corny guy in general. His PP are just outlines of the textbook. Attendance is not mandatory and neither is reading the textbook. However, I recommend reading it as you go along because I didn't and it caused me to get a D. The Final and Midterm are super easy; he uses quizzes as study guides.
I don't like history but he's so silly and you can tell he's really into what he's teaching so he makes it a lot better. Midterm, final, 6 quizzes and 4 papers (very easy papers, questions from book). GO TO THE MAKEUP DAY EVEN IF YOU DID EVERYTHING.
Good teacher, keeps class interesting and funny with videos and jokes. Very fair and helpful.
Interesting and fun but you have to be in class every day for lectures. Read the book, attend class, take notes, you'll get an A. Quizzes and papers given without notice.
Really great teacher. Even though he uses powerpoint, you should still read the book. He likes to joke, but it relates to the lecture. Had a really great time in class!
Good class,but you have got to go to class even though he does not require you to be there. If you do you will do well. I learned alot from his slavery lectures. He also stressed the importance of religion in history which my high school teachers never talked about. A diferenct approach to history that I liked. Way funny jokes.
I do notn like history and this class did not really make me like it any more. He sits there and lectures off a powerpoint but I still felt like i didnt know a lot. You must read the book to pass his quizzes and tests. He jokes around but most of the time not really funny but he is still a nice guy.
Very unclear about what he expects and is very sarcastic about students in class I would not recommend taking his class
He's a really great teacher. I'm awful at history, and don't really care for the subject, but he made things interesting. I think he really tries to make it easy for the people that put in the effort . I'd recommend attending all of his classes, especially if you had him once a week like I did. Would totally recommend him, really nice teacher.
History is not my strong subject, I just really never could like it until I took Mr. Fitzpatrick's EUH100 history class, he made it interesting and added a lot of humor to the lectures, he made History really fun. the assignments are straight forward, read the chapters, take good notes. The exams questions come from the quiz's and tests GREAT CLASS
This teacher is great! Take his class if you're not that interested in history but still want to learn.
This guy was real cool, I always enjoyed going to his class. His tests were online so you would be able to use your notes. Easy class to get a good grade in. His lectures are pretty funny often telling stories from his past, take his class!
He is very easy and willing to work with you. i took his class during the summer. he tries to keep you interested. i really wish he taught more subjects but take him hes probably a top 3 history teacher at this school
Does not respond timely to emails. Test questions are poorly worded. Lots of confusion throughout the class among all the students. Will be putting off taking second class until it is taught by somebody else. Not a good experience.
Took this class online and was unsure of what was expected from us students, at first. But after I went into his office and talked to him, everything made sense. He's very helpful and understanding and actually has a good sense of humor! The assignments were interesting, challenging, but not impossible. Definitely recommend taking his class!
Awesome Teacher, loves his subject and makes you love it too! would take this class again in a heartbeat!
take his class!!!!! he is funny and very helpful!
Worst teacher I have ever had. He does not respond to emails in a timely manner, that's if he answers them at all! Does not give clear instructions, nor effectively communicates.
Good class but you have to do the readings for online. The discussions are easy.
He takes forever to respond to emails, even around midtermsfinals.
Awesome class, and a very understanding professor! Do the work and you will be fine. I got an A!
Online class pretty straight forward. Do the work get an A. Never met him so I guess he is ok.
A straight forward instructor. The online class was a piece of cake . The papers matter as well as the midterm and final exam. There are only 2 exams you have to study for. All of the quizzes where online and the quizzes make up the midterm and final exam. Clear instructor, email and he will email back in a couple of days. A+
online class pretty easy. do the work and pass.
Dr. Fitzpatrick was a good teacher. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
I really enjoyed his class. I have taken two class with him and I hope to take more in the future. He is very funny and extremely helpful if you ask for it. Thank you Dr. Fitzpatrick for all the laughs and knowledge.
Very good class with pretty good lectures.
Tests and quizzes are really easy if you pay attention in class! Informative and entertaining lectures! Provides a thorough knowledge of American history!
Amazing teacher! Cares for his students and has good lectures. Has a wonderful sense of humor. I would recommend people to take his class.
Good class. If your not willing to do the work by yourself dont take the class. He helped me when I needed it but class is really for people who can keep up with the reading. Went fast learned alot from the book and his videos. straight up online.
His expectations are very clear. Everything is laid out in the syllabus. Lots of reading. Must read the chapters in order to answer the obscure questions on the tests. Test times allowed for an average of 70 seconds or less per question- Read the chapters! Overall very well prepared on-line class, expect to put forth an effort to earn your grade.
Very unorganized, pointless online class. NO STUDY GUIDES, NO HELP. Just tells class to read chapters then quizzes us on detailed questions. Each chapter is about 60 pages (not bad) but the quiz questions are terrible. Out of about 250 pages of reading you are expected to remember exactly how Alexander the Great described the new world. Watch out.
The quizzes are straight from the book. Read and you will do ok. He will not hold your hand but is fair.
Never met him only emailed with him but was willing to work with me when I had a family problem.
Does not give out study guides, you have to read about 5 or more chapters for quizzes. Quiz for finals are not open book and not allowed to use your notes
Good class. to the point. read the book and you pass.
easy professor, everything was straight forward. The quiz questions are the same on the exams, final too. Do good on the quizzes so you can study those answers and pass the exams. No homework, just discussion boards and short response papers. Take him for online!
Dr. Fitzpatrick is an excellent instructor. He goes out of his way to help students. What he expects of you is clear from the beginning and he wants you to succeed. Also, he doesn't just want you to understand the material, he encourages you to engage with the material, with presentations, movie clips, reenactments, etc.
He would ramble about knowledge in class but none of it was really from the textbook or what we were tested on, I did learn but not what was on the tests
Dr. Fitzpatrick is most likely the best teacher I have every had. He is so knowledgable in everything that has to do with history. His class is always the highlight of my day. I would hate having to come to school without having his class in my schedule. I now have a love for history that I will carry on for the rest of my life.
Very interesting class. Not hard just read the books. One long paper. Lots of movies and videos.
His lectures are easy to understand and he presents us the right content for the class. It would be helpful if he had a structured lesson plan.
He is a great teacher and helps others and really cares about his students. His lectures are always informative and funny.
Really interesting teacher with great stories and clearly knows what he's talking about. One of the best teachers and people I have had the pleasure to meet and been taught by.
Dr. Fitz is a good professor overall. His lectures make history easy to understand and he does not sugar coat anything. I would definitely recommend.
Dr. Fitzpatrick is not very clear when you ask him a question. Sometimes he just looks at you and laughs, which is not funny because I actually want to know the answer to the question I asked. This is annoying and not helpful. I feel like I didn't learn as much as I would with another teacher. I really don't think I learned that much this year.
At first I enjoyed Dr. Fitzpatrick's classes. As time progressed though, I came to see that the lectures were pointless. He was very unclear about crucial class information (exams, quizzes, etc.), and hardly ever gave straight answers to any question asked out of class. The quizzes were on information not in the lectures nor the book.
Good class nothing too difficult do the work and you are fine.
He helped me pass this class when he did not have to. Good guy.
OK. So last year I did not think too much of him but after this year. Uh, wow. I miss him.
