Comment:
He clearly cares about the material based on how he talks about it in his lectures and will go into some comparisons to try and make it more clear and add some more details. The textbook isn't needed, the test and papers can be fully completed from his lectures and are usually based around them. Weekly assignments are easy, but can take up time.

I don't understand why he has such high ratings. His lectures are boring, long, and a lot of the information is just... incorrect. He takes forever to respond to emails and his feedback is not helpful. The essay prompts are vague and it's almost impossible to get an A on anything. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

I love going to his Lectures!! So interesting and he teaches so well!! But you have to work in his class in order to pass, but that is most classes.

Do not take this class unless you absolutely have to. The essay prompts are unclear and its hard to get a good grade on any of them. If you dont have notes from every single lecture you will not pass the exams or essays.

The essays required for each exam are some of the hardest things I've ever done. 7 or more pages are required just to pass them, and if you don't take the most copious notes, don't expect anything higher than a failing grade. The weekly work is pretty straightforward, but the exams are harder than normal.

If you're looking for Cs and Fs on all of your papers and low Bs AT BEST on tests, then this class is for you. The 98 minute long podcasts twice and sometimes three times a week are the best part of this class too! His feedback on essays is terrible and gives no guidance to what you did wrong. If you want to live breath and eat history, take him!

I really enjoyed this class and on top of that learned a lot. The lectures seemed overwhelming at first but I found ways to manage them. He really helps you out grading wise and worked with me when I was having a scheduling conflict. He is a really great professor!

Exam essays graded very harshly. Be sure to include every tiny detail especially those he mentions in prompts. You are given 2 resources: his heavy lectures and the text, otherwise you are completely on your own. Does not seem interested in going an extra step to aid students. Does the absolute bare minimum. I do not recommend.

Comment:
Do NOT take this course online! I wrote a four page essay and got a 5% because I left out one piece of info. The online lectures are way too long for the amount of course work assigned. The course work that is due during the week barely counts for anything but your personal lecture notes are weighted heavily. Worst grade Ive gotten in my life!

I took this class online and it was a bit of a pain but wasn't terribly hard. Lots of long lectures, but they aren't terrible. Quizzes and Test questions are pretty easy. The Essay portions of the tests are pretty difficult though, he wants detail, but you only have 3 days to write them. Only really need the book for essays, not referenced on test

You are to listen and write detailed notes (that you later must turn in) on video notes that are an hour long, and there are 2-3 a week. I would fall asleep while writing them, but you need them to do the essays which are so hard. I would think I did really good, then get a 70 every time with no good feedback. Easy quizzes, hard tests. Stay away.

This was by far the worst teacher I have ever had. The exams have an essay question, and they tend to be very broad and open ended, and the way he grades them does not make sense. I would stay far away from HIST 1111.

I took him for the honors section of 1100. He's a good professor, just not my cup of tea. The class is taught like a workplace. He's watching your every move so try to be the best "employee" you can be. Grades consist of geography quizzes, journals, a group project, and a performance review at the end of the semester where you argue your grade.

This was one of the hardest classes I've taken , so considering this a 1000s class it is kinda frustrating how hard it was. There a few assignments you are graded on, the group project isworth 50% and hes so judges very hardcore. He requires all students to have a ONE ON ONE interview with him to argue their grade at the end, and hes mean about it.

STAY AWAY!! This whole class is basically just proving to him you listened to the lectures. Example, I wrote a paper on the 3 reasons why Rome fell. I got a 5/80 on the paper. A 5!! When I asked him about it, he said I did not say the 3 reasons he said in his lecture. You have no freedom. Also, he does not help you whatsoever. Horrible professor.

Bartlett doesn't seem to realize that he's teaching a 2XXX level class. He assigns a ridiculously unnecessary amount of homework and places the blame of the entire class doing poorly on the tests on the students rather than taking responsibility for it himself. The only good thing is that you don't have to buy a textbook. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:
Prof. Bartlett is a very tough teacher, but is fair. This class is not for people taking a full time schedule while also juggling a full time career and other personal goals that consume significant time. Do not skip lectures if you can help it as there is needed info in all of them. Overall, unnecessarily long lectures and large workloads.

Comment:
Professor Bartlett is probably the worst teacher i've ever had. He does NOT help students whatsoever, he has a ton of homework, he expects a TON out of you, he expects you to listen to 8-10 hours of lectures online a week, he is just unrealistic. I always see the best in professors and people in general, but man, Professor Bartlett was just BAD.
