Delph was an amazing professor! Took him once already and I'm sure to take him again. Very knowledgeable about his teachings and you can tell he loves what he does. He is easy to reach by email and very responsive, tests were a bit long but if you do your readings you'll be fine.

Ive taken a few online history courses at emu, and this is by far the easiest one I've ever taken. Exams are open notes, and professor writes up study guides for each exam. Literally easiest A you can get.

Delph is one of the best profs I've had in my 4 years. He's cool, funny, and his lectures are super engaging. Graded on attendance/participation, 2 scheduled book quizzes, and 3 essay exams. Take DETAILED notes, you'll want them for exams! Exams are DENSE but easy if you go to class/take notes/do readings. You do get a 3x5 notecard for the exams!

The only main problem I have is that a lot of the links to website readings were not available. Also, whenever I would email him, he would take almost 3 days to respond. I feel like this screwed my grade up because I couldn't access those links until last minute when he finally made them accessible/fixed them.

He's an okay guy. Half of the websites/links for the readings were inaccessible and he seemed to have an attitude about it when I'd email and let him know. Other than that, just read every chapter following along with the study guides, do every TD and writing assignment and you should be good. The tests are super long so study a lot.

He's an okay guy, but half of the links for the extra readings were always inaccessible. Whenever I'd email him letting him know he'd have an attitude and say it's my fault they aren't working. Just read the chapters, follow along with the study guides for each chapter, and do each TD and W.A. and you should be good.

Never have I ever had a 101 class that starts of with so much reading and a 100 pt exam ONE WEEK in. Also, most of the links for the readings have been broken and not repaired. Avoid taking this class at all costs.

Delph is fantastic! You can tell he's really interested in the material. You could ask him any question in the world about European history and he'd know the answer about 95% of the time. His lectures are very engaging, but he goes a little fast sometimes so try to keep up as best you can when you take notes!

Lots of interesting lectures. You will take lots of notes. Just don't skip, or you'll miss a lot. Notecards are allowed on tests, which is a plus. We read 2 books, which were super cheap on Amazon. VERY knowledgeable about the subject matter. Essay questions given in advance, which is great. Average difficulty. I learned a lot. Recommended.

Delph really cares about what he's teaching but don't take him as an easy blow of class, you have to really come to learn and if you do you will be absolutely fine

Dr. Delph is one of the few professors that I've have where you can tell that he really loves teaching history. He teaching style is very effective, and he makes the material very interesting to learn. He will go off tangents occasionally about something he read in the newspaper that day, but he's still one of my favorite professors at this school.

He is VERY passionate about what he teaches! I HIGHLY recommend taking notes on a computer because your hand will DIE. Also, his tests are all essays, but he gives you the questions beforehand. He also lectures in such a way that it reminds us how important history really is in our daily lives. 10/10 would recommend.

Delph is one of the most brilliant men I have ever met. He's really quite the character. His lectures are really interesting, but he spends nearly every minute of class on them and he speaks very quickly- I would take 5 pages of single spaced notes in one class period. Very few homework assignments, and he only does essay tests.

I have had Delph twice in college, and he is by far my favorite professor. His lectures are interesting and they prepare you so well for the exam. There are never any surprises on his exams, and he is very accessible and helpful. Delph is truly passionate about history.

This class was almost entirely lecture based, with two book discussion days. He makes it so interesting that the time flies by. Show up for class, take lots of notes and you'll do fine on the tests. He lets you have a 3x5 index card for them, just watch the time. If there are study sessions being offered, I highly recommend you attend them.

Delph is the best professor I've had at Eastern! He's so passionate about what he teaches and he's a very funny guy. His lectures can be a lot but as long as you remember to write down names and dates you'll definitely get an A.

I love Professor Delph! He has definitely made my first semester here at EMU a real gem. I felt as if he covered all of the material well and always made an effort to answer questions. I found myself craving his class because he made it so interesting.
