Comment:
If you like vanilla in every way then this is the prof for you! He's a nice man personally. My guess is at one point he had a passion for teaching... Bring a large cup of coffee to class every class. He mostly reads directly from his notes or plays a movie. He's far better meeting one-on-one for questions. In that setting he's quite informative.

Comment:
He is such a nice guy but his western civ classes are boring. He gives you the essay question beforehand. If you go to the review session the week before the test you'll be golden. Easy A

Comment:
Amazing person. If you have to take this class don't forget your laptop! He doesn't use Power Point presentations that much. His classes are normally lectured. A lot of information to be writing on notebook. His tests are pretty easy, but be sure to study. He has a monotone voice!! So, bring coffee and a laptop and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Dr. Doezema is a very fair professor. His interests lie specifically in American history, so I would recommend taking his American classes. He is very knowledgable and approachable if you have questions, go ahead and ask. Great guy and a decent professor in upper level courses.

Comment:
Not a hard teacher, but agonizingly dull. I recall a classmate sitting in the front row simply fall asleep- Doezema didn't even notice. He seems like a decent person, but combine his painfully easy material, his monotone voice, and his 8:00 schedule, and I defy you to keep your eyes open.

Class was easy, but lecture was so dull and terrible, it made interest impossible. Poor attitude, he treats students like second-class citizens

Doezema has such a funny, very dry sense of humour. Most people miss his jokes though... so sad.. he is really a pleasant man.

He was a boring teacher, but yeah ... you don't have to even go to class to get an A. just guess on the multiple choice and prepare really well for the essay question (which he gives in advance). no worries!

2 words - boring and easy. You could get away with not paying attention in class and learn from the readings. If you're not particularly interested in history take this guy.

Reads from books for lectures, loves to curve grades (praise God!)... If you are looking to just get the class over, take it with him, and bring your laptop.
