Great class but alot of info. If you go to class and take notes you will do fine. He is adorable and always willing to help. If you have to take this class take him.

At first, the class was tough because I didn't know what I was doing as far as teaching. But, once our presentations started, he was so helpful. He grades super easy too!!! Not a bad guy!! Real funny and down to earth too!!

don't take him. tons and tons of reading. a pop quiz is worth as many points as a huge 5 page paper. even the paper he makes harder than it has to be. class is pretty boring too. i'm and a and b student and i'm tryin my hardest not to get a d.

People knock him down in HIST 195, but I thought he was a wonderful, understanding man. As long as you did your reading, you could understand the class for the next day, and pass every quiz. There are 2 papers, but I found the books very enjoyable and easy to pick a topic to write about. He makes it interesting, Take him for a fun challenge!

he is not a prof to be taken lightly. very interesting and helpful for those who want to learn. probably not the best choice for the 195 class because he expects his students to be intelligent. for histor majors however he is 1 of the best in the dept. he makes it easy to learn and doesnt pile on the work. 2 papers and 2 tests per semester is cake.

Hey, people!! History is ALL about reading!! And no class worth it woud/should be a cakewalk. Having said that, sure he's tough...but he IS fair!! And while he isn't always clear - he will work and work to help you understand. I hope IUP keeps him!!

this class was not at all difficult for each test you had to write one essay which was given to you before the test if you can handle writing one page of intelligent insight its an easy A the writing assignments were graded vry easily as well as long as you amde an intelligent argument

Enjoyed the class. Instruction is down to earth and realistic. 2 lesson plans, 1 presentation, updated portfolio, and observations required. Far better than Rhankonen's version. Easy and fun course overall.

Class was interesting. He wasn't always clear as to what he wanted...but would go the extra mile to help you understand. He is always there, and expects you to be too...nothing wrong with that! Do the work, keep a good attitude, give your best, and you'll do fine with this prof.

Pretty hard for Freshman History class. LOTS of reading, not uncommon over 100 pages a week. Textbook, then extra articles on CD, then electronic reserve. But I learned a lot and got an A. Study Hard.

for the first half of the semester, i found it boring, even though i LOVE history. you buy the "book" at that copy place, and HAVE to read the documents he assigns. doesn't give out study guides, MUST pay attention in class and do your own research. MUST go to class, or trust me, you WILL fail or get a bad grade. very hot, german guy though...

He is a great professor. This class is really easy as long as you go to class and take notes. He is really nice and is always willing to help students out. You need to buy a document reader but you really don't use it. EVERY THING IS BASED ON NOTES. I HIGHLY recommend this professor.

Hes sometimes at loss for a word that he doesnt remember, but totally awesome!

He is great! He makes class fun and interesting. His grading wasn't hard and if you read the little reading you had to do you did good.

Dr. Lippert is a great professor. His lectures are pretty interesting, though you are on your own regarding notes. Anything he says can be used on the tests, and sometimes it is difficult to know just what to write down. Funny guy, easy going, polite and respectful, but expects students to respect him in return. You might have to work a little h

Good teacher

He was a great prof. very easy and helpful. We didnt have alot of reading or anything. Easy A, loved this guy. I would take him again if I could.

Easy professor. I loved the class. His tests were covered completely in class. Do the assignments read the books and go to class. He is very helpful.

Wunderbar! Great teacher, incites good discussion in class. I went to about 70% of the classes and plan on finishing with a B. Is not a boring lecturer. I reccomend anyone who likes history to take him

He is a great professor. He's really funny and makes history much more interesting. The class is easy if you show up to class. Try to get him for HIST 195!

Dr Lippert do not just teach history but relate history with cultures and various aspects of life that makes you think of how the world came to where we are today. His classes are very interesting. I took him for summer and loved it. Would take him again. If you have an opportunity to take him, go for it.

Great guy. He has so much knowledge on each subject and doesnt just talk facts but relates it to everyday life and how we can view it. Very helpful and all around awesome guy. I advise that you take him I promise you wont regret it.

I was in his History of the modern era class, and as long as you have the most basic knowledge of history, there is no excuse not to get an A. about half of your grade is from the 5 point clicker quizzes given at the beginning of class. Very helpful and truly cares about students.

Lippert helps you and will answer emails. He assigns you groups and you have a few presentations but they are easy. He grades easy. Overall an awesome guy!

He assigns group projects, which are most of your grade and if you don't get a good group it will affect your grade. All exams are online, class is pretty easy.

Great Prof, beyond helpful, pushes you out of your comfort zone to make you a better student. Learned a lot from him, not only with academics, but with everything. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

Honestly so hot, so easy, so fun to listen too, and such a great teacher. I would recommend him to anybody

I had Dr. Lippert 9 years ago and I still remember him as being a fantastic teacher. His class was very easy to take, he explained everything fully and I was able to learn a lot more about history because of him. It's been a while but if I need a history refresher, I would definitely come to him. A true expert.

If every professor was like Dr. Lippert, everyone would graduate early with honors! He makes the class interesting and funny! Exams/quizzes seem hard but he curves THE HELL outta them. He brought my midterm up from a F to a B+! I hope I get to take him again!

I took Dr. Lippert for HIST 196 online this summer. I, a girl who has absolutely no background in history, LOVED his class! I learned so much, and actually developed an interest in history. Take this man, he is a phenomenal teacher! I have never had such a great learning experience in an online class.

Dr. Lippert is an awesome teacher. We have group projects and its test heavy. He makes history more interesting and makes me excited to learn about it!

His class is based on Group Work, but his quizzes and exams are all online. You don't really need to show up, all his work is online and power points.

He is an amazing teacher and is very inspirational! I would definitely take him again!

Dr. Lippert is a great professor. All tests are online and you are given 2 group projects with the same group the entire semester. He doesn't require a textbook but there are 2 quizzes on two books. I would definitely take him again. I slept in during my midterm and he still allowed me to take the test. I def recommend!!

One of the best Ive ever had

He is a great professor and isnt too hard on grading. He is very understandable

Lippert is an awesome professor who cares about his students and gives them every opportunity to succeed. His lecturers are intriguing and he gives you lots of chances to improve your grade. This class is awesome and I would definitely take it again!!

He is so funny and great at keeping everyone engaged. I would love to have him again as a professor. His lectures were interesting and allowed everyone to stay involved.

he is very funny and understanding when you have problems

He has amazing lectures, very organized, amazing group projects!

His grading was extremly fair. His lectures were interesting and entertaining throughout the semester. Very accessable outside of class.

He is so funny! The attendance isn't mandatory you just get extra credit if you miss less than 3 classes. He makes the lesson pertain to what's going on in the world now. Some days I would come in and he would just talk to us about what going on in the world, if you are in a class with good participation this class will be so fun and easy for you!

This class was very beneficial for me. I really enjoyed this course because it wasn't too difficult but was challenging enough that I learned a lot of information. Tests and projects are not meant to trick you, but actually help you grow as a scholar and a student.

I really liked Dr. Leppert's class. Not only was it easy, you actually learn a lot about American history from his perspective which was really interesting. You do have to read two really short books as well as two group projects, but both are super easy and actually fun!

He is the best, ready to help.

The lectures and the test are hard. He gives extra credit, and makes curves. All test are online.

I would definitely take this class again. He lectures a lot but is very humorous!

I never loved a history class like his class. One of the best professors in IUP. Definitely recommend him.

Dr. Lippert is a great professor to take. He is funny and very understanding. Gives extra credit if you attend all classes throughout semester. There is not much opportunities for points (only 2 exams, 2 quizzes, and 2 group projects) so you need to do good on those to keep an A, which is not hard to do

I had him for a brand new class this semster, and he really made it a blast. I never felt stressed and he was so approachable--absolutely hilarious. He gave the most useful yet considerate feedback out of any professor I have had so far and he was very knowledgable in his subject area. Learned a lot and class was always a great time!

Dr. Lippert has a good sense of humor in my opinion and has been the first History teacher/professor to make me want to learn about history. This class, Top Secret America: National Security State has difficult exams and quizzes if you don't prepare yourself fully, but I think the class is very interesting. Dr. Lippert is a cool professor overall.

Dr. Lippert is great, his class focuses more on open discussion of topics than following what is scheduled in the syllabus. You will have two end of the semester projects. A research presentation and a 10 page paper. As long as they are both well researched you will get an easy A. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of his topics.

Dr. Lippert is very funny. His class relies a lot on open discussion. All of the attendance quizzes are online. No homework but there are two group projects and two books to read with a quiz each. His lectures can be boring sometimes because this is a basic US history, but super easy.

His lectures were fun and engaging. He had a good personality and was pretty funny. He does 2 book quizzes and doesn't remind you to read the book so make sure you remember. A majority of the questions on the tests weren't mentioned in class. He was not very good with using D2L and posting accurate dates for assignments.

Dr. Lippert's class is easy if you show up. The only things you have to stress are clearances and observation reports. He might make some uncomfortable with his 'too-young-for-his-age' humor, but I felt like it wasn't bad at all. He does not respond to emails, and expects you to text his phone number, which is weird. Otherwise, cool guy.

Had him for FLY and an online summer History class. FLY was a breeze. History was a little difficult, but I have always struggled with History. Good teacher.
