Hands down my fav prof at SC. Traditionally, history has been my least favorite subject, but this class was really interesting, and I learned soo much! He is wildly intelligent, and impressively well read to boot. Go to class! Do the 'E.C.' project! pick a topic you like for the EC. I'm a film major and I wrote mine on movies!

This class is all lecture and his lectures are very dense. He is very into his work and tries to make the subject exciting, sometimes he succeeds but often people just zoned out. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Never used it I wasted 60 dollars.

Comment:
This guy is full of himself. Do not take this course with him, he does nothing other than squawk the whole time. All of his assignments (if any) are extremely wordy. Kindof a biggot if you ask me. First day of class said he uses the paychecks to "plaster his walls" do not take.

Very difficult to understand. Very wordy and scatterbrained. Recommend recording lectures then writing down everything he says. No book use. And tests and quizes are fill in the blank so you have to catch every word of his 3 hour lectures.

Comment:
I took him for ancient history and hated every second of it. Im usually a history buff but i couldnt stand this class. and i think it was all on prof briggs. He lectures the ENTIRE time, sometimes with a 5 minute break somewhere in there. his quizzes are usually fill in the blank with no word bank. Always open note, even the final. but hard prof

I took this professor for Ancient history and he is the worst I have ever had in my whole academic career. He does not engage the class what so ever, has no social skills,his voice fluctuates and his fill in the blank tests are near impossible. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

I have Briggs for contemporary world history. Hands down the most BRUTAL classes i've ever had to sit through. 3 hours of pure lecture. Good luck getting good scores on his fill in the blank test and quizzes, even though you can use notes, it doesnt help at all since he jumps around and is just completely confusing. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!

I took Briggs for Cont. World History. If you fail his tests, you are an idiot. They are all open book/notes. Does not use the text book, write down what he says. very passionate, You cannot get a 4.0 unless you do the extra credit assignment which is my only gripe.

If you write down everything he says, you'll do really good in the class. I thought this class was pretty easy, you never use the book. You just have to pay attention and show up for the tests. He's super passionate about what he teaches.

Do NOT let anyone fool you, he is the worst teacher ever. you can take as many notes as you want and it doesn't matter, nothing will help you on his impossible quizes that are fill in the blank. All his quizes are pop quizes. He is very boring. He gives no guidlines to follow or even hints to what will be on the tests.

oh my sweet god this guy is the worst teacher in the world. i never missed a class and wrote at least 8 to 10 pages of notes a class. the notes or hand outs did not help on his stupid quizes or exam. he is not a good teacher and whatever he was teaching was not clear at all. he talks wayyyy to loud and needs to retire really soon! DO NOT TAKE HIM

Take him! i had him twice hes one of the best professors at scraft. Easy class but kinda boring. He really knows his stuff. Nice guy and the best part; no textbook needed and all the quiz's except the first one is open notes. You'll take a lot of notes in this class but its worth it since you use them. TAKE HIM!

Do NOT take him. He is the only class I have ever dropped, I am a 4.0 student. His lectures are boring and his clarity is low. Quizzes and tests are hard even with open note. Most kids were sleeping in class or not paying any attention

Comment:
I like history, just not history class. He made it understandable and interesting. His lectures are actually awesome as he knows his stuff and can go on impromptu tangents and relate them back to the actual topic. The tests were pretty straight-forward and simple, just make sure you take good notes. He did have an extra cr. term paper too.
