Most people enjoy his other classes but 2600 is hard. It's not supposed to be easy bc it prepares you for 4600 but this was rough. I thought the topic would be interesting to write about but Oscar is a hard grader & I personally didn't like/understand his teaching style. Would've been easier to write the paper all at once tbh. Really time consuming

Comment:

I took his fully online Summer LBST2101 class on the Holocaust, and it was easily one of the best classed I have ever taken. The video lectures were captivating, and he seems really genuine. The weekly assignments were very interesting because they were pretty outside the box, like writing first person journal entries or working on a trial.

Before taking Dr. Lansen's class, I was not someone who cared much for history. Now, I love it and truly understand the fundamentals and the "Why." If you get the chance, take his class. He is fun and super accessible, he never made me feel stupid for not knowing the answer. His tests are not hard as long as you show up, listen and take notes.

My favorite teacher. No textbook but there are three novels (they're not boring). Class is very organized, hybrid because of COVID. TA's are okay. Lansen is really passionate and helpful. Tests make you think but it's worth it. Would definitely take again!

Obviously, you need to be willing to learn. When you are willing, there will be a sense of a new perspective on what you see towards history.

If all of my remaining courses were taught by Dr. Lansen, I'd be thrilled. He's absolutely brilliant. His lectures are very interesting. While it's true that he's a tough grader, he will make you a better writer if you let him. Go to him if you need help and apply his feedback to your work.

Oscar is by far the best professor I have had so far at UNCC. I always look forward to his classes due to the fact that he can make everything incredibly interesting. He is hilarious and truly cares about his students. Be as detailed as you can on assignments and tests. He can be a tough grader,however, if you work for it you will be rewarded!

He is by far my favorite professor at UNCC. His lectures are amazing in each class; I've taken 3 of his classes so far and plan to take more if I can. He is a strict grader and unless you put in a lot of work, it's not easy to get an A in his class. He is also willing to work with you and really wants the best for his students. He's also organized

Oscar is the best educator I have ever had! His lectures are easy to understand and the way you learn to write notes will help you when you are studying for his tests. He is HILARIOUS, easily accessible and genuinely wants you to do your best. The books he assigns to read are books you will actually enjoy. TAKE HIM AT LEAST ONCE no matter what!

Professor Lansen is a great lecturer. I found that time flew while I was in this class. Only six assignments, 3 of which are essay-heavy tests and 2 papers. He grades tough, I found it difficult to make an A on any test. If you need an LBST credit and like history, I'd recommend him.

Professor Lansen was absolutely amazing. His writing assingments can be difficult, but he is very easy to get ahold of outside of class to get feedback. Participate in class and pay attention and you'll be fine. He is a fantastic lecturer and really makes history come alive.

I had Oscar for two semesters in my freshman year of college and I loved his class. His class is straight forward: Take his notes that he writes on the board and then study those notes and you'll pass the class. His tests are straight forward after you do the first one aswell and he is willing to work with anyone on anything. Truly a great person.
