This is not a fun class, the documents he gives on his own are not easy to comprehend and he makes it tough for no reason

Comment:
Prof Agnew is truly one of the nicest men I have ever met. He is well informed on the subjects taught in class, albeit he goes on many tangents. You can skip the lectures, but the discussion sections are mandatory-- they could make or break your grade. I wouldn't say I'd take this class again, but for the gen-ed, it was worth it.

Comment:
Prof. Agnew really knows his stuff regarding Russia and E. Europe and really made an effort to not make the class very heavy. Only one midterm with essay and MC/short answer, and semester-long essay (7-10 pgs). There were also weekly journals that you got to choose the topics of. Overall, class was really informative and he's super caring!

Prof Agnew is the BEST. He prioritizes learning over grading and is knowledgeable about history. Agnew always relates material to present day and also is very considerate.

Professor Agnew is such a kind man and is so understanding of any difficulties students might face esp. during COVID. You can tell he is very enthusiastic about what he teaches which makes the class more interesting. The assignments are laid out well in the syllabus and are not overly difficult.

Very knowledgeable/passionate about the material and clearly cares about his students. I dreaded having to take an introductory history class but ended up loving it (and am now double majoring in history/IA). Was understanding in transitioning to online material and made lectures into asynchronous recordings.

Professor Agnew is a brilliant man who made a very broad world history class interesting to me. I attended almost every lecture, but I wouldn't say it's mandatory to attend. He clearly cares about what he is teaching, and adds really interesting historic tidbits that he won't put on the test into the lectures just because he's passionate about it.

Prof Agnew gives good lectures but no attendance is taken so honestly if you do the readings you never need to go. He is really nice if you ever need help and he really wants you to succeed.

Very easy to do well in this class. I showed up to lecture 3 times: syllabus day, midterm, and final. He posts his lectures online but honestly, you don't need to read them- just focus and memorise the study guides he gives and you will be perfect. The TAs were chill, just show up to discussion!

Comment:
He was a good teacher, the only major problem with his lectures were that he was spoke a little bit quietly and he was sometimes monotone, where I lost focus sometimes but overall, he really cares about his students and really is trying to show you how interesting history can be. There are only 4 grades Midterm, Final, Timeline, Document Essay

Hes a nice proff but the class is so dry. If history is your thing then take this course but although the class seems easy the TAs grade absolutely so randomly !!
