Comment:
two, 2.5 hour lectures every week. IMPOSSIBLE to stay awake for. He definitely knows his stuff and can lecture for hours, but it takes a ton of work to get a good grade especially for an 100 level class. Just try to regurgitate his lectures of the essay part of the exam and read online outlines of the book. Also he's a bit of a liberal blowhard.

Comment:
Made history entertaining, and I absolutely hate history. Two and a half hour lectures were hard to stay awake in for most of the class, but good movies, fun paper assignments, and his assurance that nothing would be on tests unless taught both in class and in readings was awesome. Great Prof, Better Man.

Comment:
Very fun and passionate prof; self-effacing but super smart. Laugh at his jokes, even if you think they're not funny, because chances are you're not smart enough yet to understand! Very accessible and easy-going, but he loves interaction in class. Read the assignments, do the work, and you'll be fine.

Comment:
All of the class is lectures and tests come straight from those lectures...reading the books means MAYBE you'll know what he's talking about in class. Hard to take notes from because he jumps all over. Class consists of 2 exams you'll study too much for and three 5-page papers on books. Nice prof though overall just a bit hard.

Comment:
This was his first time teaching this class, and you could tell. He was very unorganized, rambled a lot, and hard to take notes from. Struggle to stay awake, even at 2:30! He is a nice guy, but awful for this class. It's not very comforting when he tells the class he's learning along with you.

In depth and interesting, but still fairly easy. Humorous.
