Comment:
Avoid him at all costs! He is not a very good teacher at all. The majority of tests were take home, but they are sentences right out of his lecture. We have a 3,500 word paper that is due at the end of the semester. You don't really use the textbook either.

All he does is lecture from beginning of class to the end. All his test were take home, just have to sign in for attendance. The hardest part was doing the 3500 word essay. But is an easy A if you just do what he says or a P for pass and you can only fail it if you dont do it. The final is based on all past test w/ a 50 word or less essay. TAKE HIM

Not bad, just daily lectures and simple take home tests. Have a friend sign you in for attendance if you don't show up. Easy grade. Nice guy.

Comment:
to pass this class you have to pay attention to every single thing he says in lectures. very detail oriented and READ THE TEXTBOOK. his tests are so exact! their sentences straight out of the txtbk or from his lectures, you have got to ultimately memorize it to get an A. pictures and all, huge term paper due at end of semester. oh and he's crazy

Class work is not bad. We had 5 test total and 3 of them were take home. Had a 14 page essay but he only graded the first 4 pages. Final was a little more challenging i say look back at all your notes from that class and textbook readings and past test if you want to past the final. Will actually learn something from his class

Lectures the whole time by reading a sheets of paper and you have to try and copy what he is saying down. The test are easy if you study your notes and especially the text book. The hardest part of the course was the 10 page essay we had to type but he gives you the whole semester to do it. He's not that bad of a teacher some of the test were take

I LOVE HIM! The class is hard and you actually have to do the readings and pay attention in him to do well. He lectures the entire time, I brought in my laptop which made it easier to keep up with him. He's awkwardly funny but he's a nice guy I would def take him again!

Comment:
He's such an entertaining professor. He really knows his stuff. He wants you to do the reading for the quizzes but most of all just show up for class. Maps and geography are his world because he's built an understanding that geography is what makes history. He's an awesome prof and I would definitely recommend him.

lectures pretty much every day...could be boring. tests arent that bad theyre multiple choice, true false and fill in the blanks (NO ESSAYS)Just read the chapter that's assigned and pay attention at the beginning of the class when he "reviews"...thats basically what the test is going to be on

Comment:
He has no structure at all. His "lecture" is rediculous, it's basically him reading off random sentences. He plays videos but those are also horribly boring. If you want to be confused and bored all at the same time, I highly recommend you take this class.

had to drop his class.. he's so boring and lectures through out the whole class. he's obsessed with maps and probably sleeps on one at home. doesn't give any work which is good but you have to study for his tests. he gives out one partnered essay toward the end of the semester with an oral presentation.
