Comment:
Very smart and very fair professor, lectures make class interesting, and he is very approachable in office hours. If you go to class, do the readings, and can write a decent paper, you can get an A. I don't agree with his conservative politics but loved this class and would take him again.

Comment:
very interesting professor with interesting perspectives. lectures sometimes can get boring but it is a history class. only gives 4 grades (mid term & final & 2 papers) so plenty of time to read the books he assigns which are actually interesting. tough grader, but if you try you can easily get a B. would take again

Comment:
He is a brilliant man. He digresses a lot to waste time in my opinion because there isn't enough material to cover on the topic in the time that is given and he doesn't want to look bad. The course is very interesting and he practically gives you the test beforehand. Fairly easy grader in my opinion. If you like history, you'll like this class.

Apparently changed his teaching methods because he no longer gives out the essays ahead of time for the exams. NOT an easy A anymore. Harsh essay grader average on exams was a 75 every time. Don't take it as an easy elective.

Comment:
Very interesting class, and the professor really knows his stuff. I don't think he's as easy as some of the people are saying on here, but then again I am not a history buff. I had to study a decent amount, but still got an A. He gives the essay questions in advance for the 2nd and 3rd exams, and is SUPER helpful if you go to office hours!

Comment:
Extremely boring. Do not take this class if you fall asleep easily. All he does it stand in the front and lecture. Three essay tests that the TA makes up. Kind of difficult, I never knew exactly what he was looking for. Not the easy A I thought. There are a lot of notes. All he does is talk, talk, talk.

Comment:
One of the easiest classes i've taken. I've never liked history but all you have to do is take notes during his lectures and he tells you the essays on the exam. study the night before and still get an A on every test. whole grade is the 3 exams. EASY A. Just go to class

GREAT professor. If you are a student who actually wants to learn you will learn so much just by listening to him talk. He is so wise and interesting. Tests are very straightforward essays that he tells you ahead of time, and no cumulative exams. NOT just another monotonous old history teacher. Really made me like history which i have always hated.

I don't know why everyone says hes good, he is extremely boring in class, not useful, but his grading is fair. However his TA and other Teacher for this class, grade a little unfairly. I would not recommended this class. I thought it was going to be exciting but He really didn't make me interested in this at all.

Great Professor, no textbook used, just two books per test. Three essay tests make up your grade for the class. Professor Wolters is the best lecturer I have had, you attend class simply because you want to listen to him. The amount of information he knows without looking at notes is incredible. TAKE HIM! I will again before I graduate.

A very cool professor. I enjoyed the court cases he talked about. And, he also delves into his long experience (no, he doesn't plan to retire anytime soon, as I asked and he told the whole class). His books are wonderful. And, most importantly, he has a historical perspective that will challenge and enlighten your own. A brilliant man. Take him.

great professor, need to attend class to do well but he always makes it interesting and often tells stories which make class even more interesting, not hard to do well if you go to class, make sure you take a class with him before he retires

read 6 novels (1 every 2 weeks). tests (blue book) cover the two books at a time. use what he learned in lecture to get most of the points on the essays the rest comes from the books. the final was just a last test (same time length as the other two). he did say mc but mainly short answer and list, but still simple if you study and now some his

The guy is a fossil, older than dirt, and has been teaching at this institution for a long time. But he's a good man, and I liked his conservative viewpoints. Not a hard grader either. Recommend.

I don't like him. Study for the final for 6 hours and still fail miserably... cutting down our final to one hour nd saying we have multiple choice when its short answer and listening things is stupid. He's a tough grader

Comment:
I thought I knew US History until i listened to him. He gives an amazing and unique perspective on history. Very good class. Exams are straight foward and all essay(not as bad as it sounds). Every so often he will tell a gem of a story and relate it to history. I highly recommend professor Wolters.
