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.
