Teeter is a great professor who teaches true college classes in which students must actually use brain cells. His classes are challenging; one will only think them "too hard" if not up to the challenge. I learned so much from taking his courses.

The best prof. I have ever had! He is a superb lecturer, and has a GREAT sense of humor. I mean, he is SUCH a funny guy! I loved comming to his classes. He is accessible to students, and really cares about helping you do better if u seek his help.

Yes, you have to work in his class. But he is a very good professor and knows what he is talking about. I enjoyed the class and thought the test were fair.

A great professor. He is a little tough but he keeps things light and tells great stories. You have to keep up with the readings but they are interesting most of the time. If you ask him for help understanding something, he is really willing to help. He likes class involvement so talking will get you far.

He is a very good teacher. He is really witty and very sarcastic. either you like him or hate him and I liked him. the tests are sort of hard, but you cannot miss one class or you will miss everything.

I enjoyed his class.

He was a very interesting teacher. There is a lot of outside reading and some of them are actually interesting. You have to go to class, if you don't you'll be lost and will not do well on the test

I've taken 3 classes with Teeter. He knows his stuff and will keep you interested. He's a badass - I didn't realize how great of a teacher he was until I came to UGA and have Susan Mattern for an Ancient History teacher. She makes me want to put a bullet in my head every class, and I'm a Classics major being interested in Ancient History.

Dr. Teeter is a great History professor, he doesn't have an attendance policy but if you miss class you WILL miss out on crucial material. I have had him 3 times so far, and I am planning on taking him many more times. His classes do require a lot of reading, but the exams aren't so bad for the lower level classes (HIST 1112, 1111).

The tests are m/c with an essay. The essay is 20% of the grade. Final grade comes from 4 tests. He talks really fast and curses, but it's manageable. He shows pictures of what he's teaching which helps, and he often relates it to modern times in some way. Interesting course, and pretty good professor.

Read some of the other comments. Please. Teeter knows his stuff, he lives and breathes what he teaches. It's OUR job as students to be in class, read, and get the notes. It's what we're here for, folks. Shape up and quit whining. He's a great teacher. Just be sure to get the notes, and be prepaerd to learn!

I took this class this summer and came out with an A. I am by no means a history person, but if you go to class and read the chapters and take good notes, you will do fine. I'm glad I took him.

He is a great teacher! although he talks really fast! He also takes a lot of his test questions from his lectures so go to class!!!

Good teacher and knows what he is talking about. Spends most of his time teaching about Europe. Tests aren't bad if you go to class, because most all his questions come straight from his lectures. Some outside reading, but it isn't bad. He talks fast but he will repeat things if you need him too.

Okay, his tests are *not* difficult. You must go to class in order to pass them but so long as you show up, it's easy. The reading is a little difficult to grasp sometimes but I think he takes that into account on the essays. He's very helpful, extremely funny and a terrific lecturer. I would recommend him. He made bits of history I find boring fun

He's not as difficult as some of these other reviews make him out to be. Read the "extra" readings and the essays won't be hard. Skip out on buying the main textbook though because it is NOT used. His tests are strictly lecture. Interesting guy. My only complaint was that the fist 2 tests were very easy and the last 2 were much more specific.

Great professor. Knows and loves his topic. Great lecturer, so don't interrupt his flow with superfluous comments. Listen, take notes, and READ assignments and you'll do fine. 2 exams (essay with about 25 multiple choice) in this upper division. Essays come from readings. 12-15 page research paper due at end of semester.

I took Teeter's summer course and found it to be a breeze. Once the initial drop offs who relied exclusively on the responses online and post-first testers were gone, the class flowed very well. Though Teeter talks a little faster than what we might be used to, he had no problem repeating a certain point, if needed.

He is a great teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory, you must go to class and take notes to do well on the tests. The tests directly reflect notes and what he goes over in class. I do not like history, but I made an A on every test. It is easy to make an A if you go to class and do the outside readings.

If you aren't someone who knows a lot about history, I wouldn't suggest taking this class. 4 tests, 25 points each, so if you miss one question on a test, you have a 99 in the class. Barely slipping out with a B, and I worked my butt off. Never missed a class either. Textbook isn't necessary at all. Be very careful of taking Teeter.

He got me into history. Listen and ask if you don't understand. I took many classes with him as an undergrad, and loved them all. If you can't keep up, remember this is college; you actually need to work a little to get a good grade.

For anyone to say that Prof. Teeter is not helpful or doesn't care is not being accurate. He actually taught a Latin class even though he knew he would not receive compensation from the university,just so students could get the needed credits for graduation. Tough professor, but fair. Just do the work.

Teeter is a great teacher overall. Don't buy the textbook !! tests are straight from notes! read the extra books to do well on essays. He talks fast so be prepared to take notes like crazy! If you take good notes and review the main topics/people/dates/wars etc you will make an A like me.

On the whole, a good lecturer; not easy, but not unreasonably difficult, and very fair. Not great at budgeting time in lectures, so we ran 5 minutes over nearly every class, but that's minor. I enjoyed the class, Teeter is really worth taking. A bit of a gruff exterior, but a nice guy. Take him!

Teeter was a great professor. You could tell he loved what he was talking about. As long as you attended class and studied notes you will get A's. No need to read any outside books, textbook or literature. The tests are straight from the notes. He is also a slow grader but will always throw in extra bonus questions on the tests. Easy A if you study

Teeter is a great guy. I can see where someone who doesn't like history or isn't naturally good at it might have trouble. I was so interested in his class. Hilarious lectures. Great teacher. If you're a good notetaker and studier, you're set for an A. But if you miss even one class, it's hard to make up the notes you missed

Dr. Teeter knows his stuff and he's super smart. I knew nothing about history, came in and studied my butt off and got an A. Read the books he assigns, if not you won't be able to write the essays. Attendance isn't mandatory but go because it's a lot of material. You can get an A if you try.

Teeter is an overall great professor, at first I didn't like him or his class. Classes are straight lecture but he's funny so its alright. If you read your notes, you'll be set for the tests. Just be willing to write down what he says, and every now and then read the textbook to back up what you wrote.

I've had Dr. Teeter for two courses and I'd definitely take him again. Smart man with a dry sense of humor. Depending on the course you take, the class will be structured around only a few tests so study hard for those. Very fair grader. No attendance policy, but if you show up regularly he'll throw some extra points your way.

No HW, Some extra credit, 4 Exams, that's it. Read the texts assigned b/c that is the essay portion. Take notes but really LISTEN to his lectures that is what the multiple choice questions are made from. Other than that he was a very entertaining lecturer with his witty humor and liberal commentary on the state of overall human intelligence.

If you like learning new information about what you think you know about Rome and Greece take Teeter. Here is a professor who really cares and is passionate about what he teaches and it's not like you sit there, he has been to the places he talks about many times that you learn so much more from him. Highly recommend if you want a fun teacher.

i was very hard on Teeter for the beginning of the semester. i felt lost in lectures and did not understand the reading- or his dry humor. however, by the end of the semester he had changed my mind. The class is simple: show up, take notes on lecture. thats all, and once you actually commit to doing it, you will do well. I would take him again.

I loved having him this past semester for his Roman History class. He was always willing to help and is very passionate about his job and the subject matter. The tests were truly impossible to fail unless you literally never showed up to class or read at all. Only downside he is very liberal and vocal about it, just teach without politics bro.

he lecturers a lot and doesn't have power points, but if you are a history major this class would be great to take. he is funny and his class is very educational.

There were 4 test throughout the semester and the test were easy enough and based completely off of the notes. The only thing is that there are readings that come in his course pack that we have to read for the short response part of the test, Other than that the class wasn't difficult.

I love professor Teeters class. Take good notes and always read the material. If you study your notes it shouldnt be hard to pass at all. At times it seems like he goes very fast, but you cant expect a slow pace for hundreds of years, either. He also does a good job relating material to modern day society. I recommend if you enjoy learning.

Overall this was one of my favorite classes this year. He didnt give us any quizzes and we had four tests all based on the information he had gone over since the previous test. He had main points on his PowerPoints but the main information came from what he spoke on off the screen. Overall a very good professor and easy to listen to.

Teeter is a great professor. Lectures can be boring but you really do learn a lot from them. Youre only graded on four tests. Tests are very straightforward. Most of the questions are from the lecture and your essay is over the reading.

Teeter is a stern guy but he's actually pretty cool too. Super knowledgeable and gives great lectures. There is a ton of reading, but he makes it sound like the class will be a lot harder than it is. Read the texts, take notes, show up, perhaps watch youtube videos on the topics, and you'll pass with an A or B, otherwise, you'll definitely fail.

Teeter is an interesting character and a pretty funny dude. His upper level classes are very difficult to take notes for and pretty hard to study for though. He knows what he's talking about, but sometimes it's a little difficult to take it in. I think he grades fairly though and overall pretty good.

Dr. Teeter is a great professor. His classes may be challenging, but you will do fine if you meet with him and engage in discussion during class. Reading the required texts and asking questions is also crucial to passing his classes.

Many tests but maybe two discussion posts.

I would NOT take this course in person. Online really wasn't bad, your grade is only 5 exams, but he gives a chance for extra credit at the end of the semester. He does have a question discussion board that he seems to answer pretty quickly, and if you email him, he will tell you what you did wrong on the exams.
