No complaints about his class. The only complaints I have heard are due to his long lectures. His lectures are very engaging though and he is total eye candy. Very easy to get a good grade. Do the reading and you will pass the quizzes, 6 525 word papers to complete throughout the semester are easy to pass and the midterm is easy if you're prepared.

This is a good class but not easy. Professor Rose is very nice and very smart. Assignments are lots of writing. This is not easy for international students. Nice teacher.

I complete enjoy Tim's class. The lectures are informed and delivered in a lively fashion. He's charismatic. One complaint though, the grading is uneven. He's real easy on the papers but tough on the in class midterm.

Absolutely enjoyed the class. I would take another class with Prof. Rose. But I'm moving to Oregon!!! Peace Berkeley.

This guy lectures. You'll get a full period of him talking. He's always prepared and well informed on the topics. He does keep it all lively and is sometimes quite funny. He shows a strong love of history. Six short papers to write. Easy quizzes. And two major exams. Not hard work.

I loooved Mr. Rose's class. He is an extremely charismatic, charming and easygoing professor. He is passionate about history and this is apparent in his lectures. He engages with the class the entire time he lectures and answers questions thoroughly. He is an amazing teacher and I would recommend him if you have to take history. He is great!

cool class. tim is an enthusiastic insttructor with tons of energy. nice person to chat with. interesting guy who knows alot about history and has done alot too.

Tim Rose is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about teaching history. Make sure you spend a lot of time preparing for his exams; the exams pertain to a significant part of the grade. It is an easy A as long as you keep up with the workload. If you are lazy, then you should drop the class.

A very enthusiastic teacher who cares about his students and knows exactly what he's talking about. The fact that he genuinely loves to teach and loves the subject he's teaching are a huge bonus. The exams are a really big part of your grade so make sure you study! He's a pretty easy guy to talk to, and he's pretty easy on the eyes too...

Very energetic guy. Fast paced talker in lectures. Lots of information. Exams are not easy. Fair amount of reading, writing, preparation is necessary to do well. Otherwise, good class.

If its your first year of school,this class gets you up to par on essay writing, maximum 750 words and very easy to understand he critiques your writing method so you have a better focus rather than 700 words of blabbering. On top of that he is ENGAGING, its like watching a episode of pawnstars every class

If you love history, then this is the professor for you. I took his Modern History class, and I can't say that Modern History is my favorite eras. After Tim's class, it became one of my favorite eras. Do the work and the readings, study for the test and take good notes and you'll be fine. Just don't be late; I've seen him kick late students out.

world history turned out to be my favorite class this semester. tim is a good teacher and the material we covered was interesting.

I fully expected to hate this class. A really good professor makes all the difference. Do the reading (accessible, readable books), write the papers (not hard),take quizzes (easy). Midterm and final are essay, but not difficult. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and has more office hours than anyone at BCC. He will help you succeed if you let him.

Mr. Rose is a great professor! Very entertaining & holds your interest. Does mostly lecture with a few film clips & two full films. Down to earth, very nice & would ask how we all were @ beg. of class. DON'T BE LATE though, he hates it & will kick you out. A lot of reading (you choose which hw to do weekly) but interesting. Take this class :)

He is easy to understand. Just make sure you show up to class and take notes. Be on time. He sometimes can be a little dry but that might have been to the class being held early in the morning. Overall he's a really good teacher. And he very much has a passion for history.

Very boring, but good teacher. tests are difficult, but not much work otherwise

Very helpful and passionate about history and his students. A very nice guy. Appreciates students doing the work and keeping up with the reading. Easy A if no assignments are missed.

Awesome teacher.

Good teacher. Interesting class. Tests were hard but I really enjoyed his lectures.

Great teacher, lectures are comprehensive and clear. Tim sets the bar high, but definitely meets you there to help/encourage your understanding. Provides excellent feedback on papers/exams and is clear as to what he expects from students. He is very knowledgeable and it shines through in his lectures. If you put in the work you will get an A.

Really great teacher. I took the class with an interest in learning about American history and Professor Rose has a true love for what he does. Helpful, witty, smart, and doesn't deal with tardies (and rightly so). I'll be taking his classes when I can.

I absolutely love history and love Tim Rose's classes. I have taken three classes with Tim and thoroughly enjoyed each one. He is an excellent lecturer, thoughtful historian, and encouraging teacher. The work load is moderate but you must stay on top of the papers. Tests take preparation but are fair. I recommend world history in particular.

Professor Rose is a great teacher. I'm sure he's even better in person. His summer session class involved a lot of documentaries, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I work full time and it was nearly impossible for me to keep up with all of the reading. That being said, I did okay and as expected to given the way I was balancing the workload.

He isn't very encouraging and will damn you with a C if you do not fully adhere to his essay prompt. Other than that, you can't help but to respect his knowledge and passion in History.

Excellent teacher. Highly recommended for those with a genuine interest in the subject. His online class was clear, organized, and thorough. He expects college level writing, so be prepared to put forth an honest effort if you want a good grade.

Tim knows his subject well and is a terrific lecturer. He is enthusiastic and does a good job drawing students into history. But he offers no extra credit or make up work. So if you fall behind during the semester its tough to get caught up for points.

Tim's class is great. He knows his stuff and is extremely passionate. Be prepared to get to class - it can impact your grade. He generally assigns 6/800 word papers, 6 10-question quizzes and a bluebook midterm and final. He's a fair grader. Be sure to follow his instructions/ask questions if you do not understand, he's a good communicator.

A lot of work for six weeks summer class. Five papers, quizzes every week, forum discussion, and a heavy final exam. Good material for the class in history. Many good documentaries on topics that I did not know much about before. Tim Rose was responsive to emails, frequently responding right away and posting comments on papers and forum.

Good class, overall. I enjoyed the way Tim presents material during lecture and found the reading enlightening. The assignments require a decent amount of writing. Two exams and both completely essay exams. Six quizzes based on the reading (which is hard!). Five papers to write, each about 1000 words.

His class is challenging, even for me who's usually not this challenged by a class. Each week theres 3 videos 45 min- 3 hrs long each to write 200 words about each, plus 2 class responses, quizzes, chapters long text readings, 5 essays throughout the semester and 3 essays that count as our major grade. He is a hard grader and expects a lot.

Really good class. I enjoy most of the reading assigned and appreciate the flexibility of writing assignments based on the reading. Tim makes students work. There is a good bit of reading and writing. His lectures are entertaining and packed with information. One criticism: he moves too FAST. He paces around the room speaking in rapid fire.

Does NOT give EXTRA CREDIT. if YOU ARE NOT A HISTORY PERSON AND ONLY TAKING IT FOR A CLASS NEEDED THEN GO FIND A EASY TEACHER YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO A A C OR D. You have to give all your time for this class. He is always on time to write you back but he is a tough and you have a quiz that's ten questions and have eight mins to do its really TENSE!

Tim is a super-bright, energetic, passionate history instructor (even at 8am!) It's clear that he knows his stuff and enjoys teaching. There's a good amount of reading and writing for the class. He has high expectations of the students. I liked his class and might take another if time allows.

!!! It's actually been 3 years since I was in Tim's class, and I feel the same I did then. Tim was the best professor I have ever had in my life. His excitement and urgency towards history forces you to become engaged as he has mastered making History feel invigorating. I'll remember him fondly for the rest of my days.

Absolutely enjoyable class. Tim's history of the world was rollicking!

Tim Rose is one of my all-time favorite teachers at BCC. I've taken two classes with him and would take more if I could.

Tim can be impatient with students in class. But his lectures are interesting and his energy level is always high. He obviously loves teaching and enjoys history. I enjoy going to his class.

I took Professor Rose's online class for Hist 7B Fall of 2014. The class was very time consuming, it requires you to be engaged and he grades tough. However, all of that only makes you better at grasping new knowledge and American History. I didn't too much care for History until I took this class, it somewhat shaped how I see America now.

Very heavy on the reading. There is a lot of little work to be done. Do not skip it. Lectures can go off tangent, but in general a good professor.

Professor Rose knows history and gives good lectures. His lectures are sometimes funny. The class moves too fast. It can be a real challenge to keep up with everything.

Coursework every week consists of 2-4 video documentaries, forum posts about each video, and then quizzes on each video. Basically students have to work hard, but the course-work is lazy. There are also reading assignments, but thankfully only 7 essays due. For a history class it's pretty biased, so I felt like I only learned one side of things.

(HIST7A) Rose is knowledgeable, energetic, and pretty cool. Assignments are interesting & have flexible structure. Class moves FAST. He expects students to participate in discussions, and he is short with students who don't seem to be trying (not doing the reading or frequently late/absent) Worth the work tho-- he changed the way I see US history.

Awesome teacher. A mentor for history major. Took three classes with Tim. He helped with transfer app. Super nice guy.

Professor Rose is a very knowledgeable and straightforward teacher. He is very clear up front with his syllabus about what to expect and what will be required of you (being a solid writer helps). He will provide amazing insight into historical events and spends a lot of time on your essay evaluations. Though intensive, I would do it again.

Tim is a great teacher. I would take his class again. His syllabus lays out everything you need to know. If you can write and you follow his syllabus you will do well. He gives a lot of feedback on assignments. His tests can be intense if you are not prepared. I highly recommend his classes.

I usually hate History classes, but Tim's such a great teacher I actually enjoyed being in this class a lot. Good lectures so you can easily remember everything for quizzes and tests.

One of the best professors I have ever had. Caring, passionate, and extremely intelligent. His classes are difficult and the workload is heavy, but absolutely worth it. Can not recommend him enough.

Tim has been one of my favorite teachers for years. I thoroughly enjoyed three classes that I took from him. Plenty of work to do to get a good grade but he challenges students to do high level work. Super nice guy too.

Lots of papers and work but if you have the time to commit to this class, it's amazing. You need to know how to make notes from lectures because that's what the midterm and final are based on but I personally loved the lectures. He talks a whole lot but is super helpful with any questions/concerns.

Great teacher. Knows his stuff. Lectures are packed full. Lots of reading and writing.

You can tell that this guy loves his job! On top of being enthusiastic, his grading criteria is super clear. As long as you show your understanding in a substantial amount of words, you'll get a good grade on your papers. He's definitely not easy, but he makes that up for being an easy going grader! Love this dude!

Enjoyable class even if you don't like history, which I don't generally. Lectures are fast moving but real informative. A good amount of reading to do. Exams are tough(ish). Tim is a nice guy to talk with before and after class.

I like the class. Tim Rose is obviously very passionate about history and teaching history. He is very enthusiastic in class. He also learned everyones name in class in two weeks. That was nice.

Tim Rose knows history. I really enjoyed the class. Textbook was dull but what can you expect. Additional reading were hit or miss for me.

Good class. Professor Rose was always well prepared. Crazy amount of history to cover in one semester.

Professor Rose created a good summer class for World History. I had to take this course for a nursing school pre-req and was kind of pissed. But in the end I learned a lot about global cultures and found the class entirely rewarding. We covered a great deal of information in six weeks. Professor Rose was always available online.

Good history class. Tim is really passionate about what he does. That comes through in his lectures. Some of the reading is really dense. But I learned a great deal about American history. And I would take a class from him again.

Tim Rose is a great history teacher. Very helpful. Nice guy to talk with about the class topics and life.

Tim has to be one of the best professors i've ever had. He makes the subject come alive! He provides great primary sources to read outside of class. With most professors you could imagine one or two ways they could improve... not with Tim. He is the historian you would strive to be. Overall - amazing professor, very informative.

Excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable.

Tim Rose is an excellent historian; the guy definitely knows his stuff. Definitely one of the greatest professors on campus, too. The course itself consists of some essays, a few quizzes, a midterm, and a final. He makes the course interesting along the way so its not all lecture. Would definitely recommend!

Tim's class was my favorite this semester. My major is art history, so this is a subject that I typically enjoy. Tim made lecture interesting and the assigned readings were mostly good. The writing assignments forced me to concentrate on style and substance. Between History 7A and English 5 I know my writing got stronger.

Pretty heavy work load. Learned so much about American history.

I really enjoyed learning from this subject because now I have a better understanding of the American culture. Prof. Rose has been a responsible, patient, willing and encouraging teacher. I really appreciate his effort for explaining in great manner the complexities of the U.S. history as well as assesing my essays carefully and comprehensible.

Prof. Rose's class was great.

In the past year I have taken Tim's H-A and H-B classes. I enjoyed the content chosen for both. The other students in the classes were pleasant encouraging and thoughtful in the discussions. Professor Tim was always very involved.

Professor Rose was thoughtful during a difficult time. He is very involved in the class and he is helpful with discussion. I would take another class with Professor Rose but I do not need another history class.

Professor Rose created a very engaging and flexible class. In addition to the expected difficulties of living and online learning during a pandemic, I was not sure if I'd be able to stay engaged with my studies due to my circumstances. From the start, however, this class helped me realize how much I love learning about and value history.

Heavy workload for an eight week class. Tim Rose is very available, he responds to emails right away and participates in the discussions throughout the week. His zoom office hours are helpful and he seems very nice. But the assignments each week are pretty demanding.

I learned a lot in 8 week class.

Prof. Rose's HIST 7A was excellent. Prof Rose is well prepared and knowledgeable. The class was very small due to the pandemic. We became friendly during the semester and formed a study group. This was a good experience for returning to BCC after being online for three semesters.

professor rose is a great teacher, but to get a good grade in the class, you definitely have to work for it. . weekly assignment load consists of readings and an essay (along with 5 historical lit. essays you have to turn in by the end of the course), so it can get heavy. but organization, communication and course content is top notch.

This class involves heavy reading and a lot of writing - it's very challenging... but also very rewarding. I feel so fortunate to have taken this class with Rose. He's a brilliant educator, he takes a really active role in class discussions and provides so much clarity. The reading includes a lot of fascinating primary sources. Highly recommended.

I cannot fault him for his methods, however I warn you, they are something akin to brute force. You're just going to read a LOT, and write WAAY more than even that. If you want to actually know your material, his class is well worth it. If you just need a grade, steer clear. Either way, be sure to read the rubrics, and not to overwork yourself.

Prof Tim is great. Very invested in the class. Well-organized and excellent course materials. Good use of multimedia. Involved discussions. I appreciate what we learned and how we learned it. The class also helped me get ready for my upcoming citizenship test.

Don't cheat. Be prepared to do college-level work. Students can learn a whole lot of history. And improve writing skills. Both challenging and rewarding.

Professor's Tim Rose “History of the U.S to 1877” college course was a great introduction of what the word looked like before colonisation and what factors caused it. Trustworthy and reliable sources were given to us. I also liked how he made the grading policy very clear and the way discussion forums worked; making it very easy to work with.

Prof Rose is a dedicated educator. The class has heavy reading but he provides great clarity. unstuckstudy was a helpful supplement for prepping before exams. Overall, a rewarding experience.

Professor Rose is not only a wonderful and considerate professor. He is also very accessible for those students who have disabilities. The man is compassionate and down to earth and can explain just about anything if given the amount of time that is proper for the explanation office hours are a must get to know him. You will be happy that you did.

Excellent history class. Good lectures and class discussions.
