Comment:
Very rude professor! Will blow up at class and waste time over very little things! Degrades his students! Wouldn't recommend taking his class a very grouchy ass man! Wants things only his way and getting ahold of him is impossible and you never know your grade till midterm or final!

Comment:
Reading is mandatory if you want to pass. If you take this class, be prepared to be dealing with a grouchy ass professor. DEFINITELY don't talk/text AT ALL in his class. He loves his material, and doesn't care if you sleep in class. Showing up everyday is beneficial for the tests, which aren't the easiest things ever, but passable if you've read.

I had four classes with Pierce and loved every one of them. You have to go to class. You have to study. You have to earn your grade. Too many people want to be given things for nothing. Pierce won't do it. Great professor.

Comment:
Pierce loves what he does, but is the grouchiest professor I have ever met. The quizzes aren't bad IF you read the entire chapter. But all of the test questions are based off of his personal opinions about history. He will scream at you if you bring your book to class but then will give you a reading quiz. Avoid his class if possible.

Great Professor, if you are not planning on doing any of the work it takes to earn a grade...DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! but if you are willing to do the reading, attend the classes and aren't thin skinned then Dr. Pierce's class is enjoyable.

Dr. Pierce is NOT as bad as he seems in these reviews. Take good notes, pay attention and go to class and you will be fine.

Comment:
A bit eccentric, likes to swear a lot, but not as rough of a character as some people would have you believe. Don't disrespect him by talking or texting in class or forgetting to turn off your phone. write SOMETHING on all of the essays, take good notes, read the book, go to class, and you should be fine. Sometimes unpleasant but no bogey-man.

Comment:
Dr. Pierce is the worst professor I have ever had. This man berated a girl in my class because she wrote down the date of our test in her planner. He picked up her planner and slammed it on her desk, humiliating her in front of the whole class. He cursed at us constantly during class, and told us that we were all idiots. He's HORRIBLE!

Pierce is agreat teacher, he keeps the subjects interesting and funny. He puts a face on history you can understand and appreciate. You must go to class and study hard for his tests, if you do this you'll do just fine

Pierce is one of my favorite proffessors- extremely interesting, puts things into different perspectives. He may offend some people with his language and lack of compassion for ppl that **** or are lazy.

People just don't get Pierce, he is freakin hilarious. He's also probably one of the finest instructors at Tarleton, one of the few that gets you to think about what you're learning rather than just regurgitating his lecture notes.
