Comment:
This was one of my favorite classes and almost made me want to be a history major. There is no homework just lectures so you have to attend class. He gives a study guide with a lot of questions but most of them he goes over in class. His lectures he describes as "telling a story." Once the material is tested on, it will not be tested again.

I loved this class. Unlike classes today, he doesn't rely on power point and actually lectures. Knows what he's talking about and makes it easy and fun to learn the information. Provides study guide for all 3 test + 1 written. Participation is not forced which is great for those who have trouble speaking. Over all just amazing I learned to much!

He is a great teacher, but if you are more of a visual learner like myself this class is not for you. He gives great lectures with no power points or some sort of writing on the board. Its important for you to show up if you want to pass. Only 3 major test and 1 written.

Attend lectures, take notes, do study guide. Don't wait until the last minute to do it-easy, but long. Study guide is based on lecture. Funny, witty, inspiring professor who lectures history like its a story. I usually prefer powerpoints, but it wasn't needed because he was just that good. He can be sarcastic, so beware if you don't like sarcasm.

He's amazing, but his way of teaching might be difficult for some. He does not use any kind of ppt or write on the board, just sits there and tells you the historical events and the stories behind them. Very interesting stories, however, it can get boring at times. Only 3 major tests so do well on them or else your grade will be damaged.

This class grade is made up solely by 3 tests. If you miss his lectures you will not do well, but dont worry, the way he gives his lectures makes the topics very interesting

By far the best class I've taken. He really made me care about coming to class and he made learning the material interesting rather than a chore. No slides to take notes off of though, so if you're a visual learner, heads up. Just him talking about history and cracking jokes! We just had three big multiple choice tests and one short answer test.

Not so great. This teacher isn't for you if you are more of a visual learner and need a PowerPoint. His class is lecture heavy and he just goes on and on. It's hard to take notes because he will go off on different tangents. I never listened to his lectures and only read the book! Im an "A" student and ended up with a B in the class.

Honestly just show up to class and take notes. His lecture feels like story time with all of the important people of American history before 1876 come to life. His class makes history that much more interesting and easy going.

He seems really rude and doesn't look like he cares. I wish I chose someone else. He just talks and doesn't give you a clear lesson. His study guides have a bunch of questions, BUT he said that he put questions that have nothing to do with the test. I just wish he had a power point or something because it is tiring to just be looking at him.

Unresponsive to emails; not very friendly one on one; a little snobby; dropped me even though i was present in class making all of my financial aid go away. I would never recommend this teacher to anyone. He doesnt really care about his students. Get ready to take a number!

He just talks and talk and talks. Its pretty boring and your never too sure if he's saying things to get you ready for the test or just things he remembers that goes with the story. I feel like he just talks and expects you remember the information.

I took Professor Douglas for HIST170 and it was my best class so far! I enjoyed coming to class. His lectures are a big story and keeps you wanting to find out more. He respects his students and his jokes and his voices he makes when telling the story keeps it interesting. No homework, but use the study guide for the test.

You can tell he's really passionate about the subject and wants you to interested but I'm one of the people that really don't like history and I would be extremely bored in his class. I would study for hours for his tests and end up failing...

Took Mr. Douglas's History 175 class. At first I was skeptical because he does not use power points, he teaches History likes its one big story... which is very unique. I did end up renting the book after I realized this was his approach to teaching. Attendance is a must, and all tests are exactly like the study guide he gives out.

The lectures are amazing. They are so interesting and I love how he does not use powerpoints or textbooks. There is no homework and the tests are semi difficult but easy if you go to class. He also makes a lot of jokes and knows a lot of fun facts, overall it is an amazing class and I would take him again in a heartbeat.

This is a great class. Your grade in this class is based on lectures, reading material from the book and he gives you a study guide that the test are based on. His stories are funny, he is very respectful to the students. He definitely makes learning about history a lot more interesting than other classes where its just power points and such.

I'd never liked History until I took his class. It wasn't easy but got a lot better once I followed his study guide, took notes carefully, and asked questions. His lectures were like stories which were really amazing and inspiring but it was quite hard to follow for the tests. If you actually want to learn, not for grade, definitely take him.

Comment:
Love his stories. His lectures are very enjoyable and relaxing. Take notes from his stories, do the study guide, and you'll pass. All test questions are from there, but you'll need to read the book to answer some questions since he does not have enough time to cover all of them (so don't waste everyone's time by asking off-topic questions).
