Comment:
This class is only out of 100 points so there is little room for error. It is based on an oral presentation, 2 exams, a short paper, a long paper, and participation. He is a very harsh grader on papers. He is very specific about what he wants. However, he is very nice and wholesome. I would recommend if you are willing to put in the work.

Comment:
Prof Susko was nice,but that aside, all we did on a day-to-day basis was take lecture notes on the presentations. Granted,he was thorough with presenting,but it was always just sitting and writing,which made it difficult to actually learn anything(not a single class activity). When it came to papers,he was a VERY tough grader(almost rude at times)

Marek's class is one of the best I've taken in a while. It was my first class at Loyola as a transfer ( I took it in the summer) and it was awesome. I learned so much from him! His lectures are super thorough and he's such an interesting person. His writing assignments are confusing at first but once you figure it out they are easy. Take his class!

Dr. Suszko has pretty dry lectures but is able to teach his students through his assignments, which (online) consisted of one short review and one book review, along with 2 exams, each 2 questions each. He sends the exam prompts out before hand and allows you to write before the exam time. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

If you're looking for a blow-off HIST course, AVOID! He wants his students to learn and understand the material, which he does a great job of doing, but you gotta work for it. Lectures can be dry, but I was able to get by without the textbook by going to class. Suszko REALLY cares about students and is extremely knowledgeable, super sweet guy.

Prof. Suszko is one of my favorite professors at Loyola. He is very clear about his expectations, and he doesn't overload you with homework. There are (easy) group quizzes once a week over the readings. The midterm and final are both 2 essays out of the 4 essays he gives you on the study guide. Easy class and a great professor.

Prof Suszko was amazing! The class was by far my easiest class of the semester. We had group quizzes every week based on our readings, and then 4 short reflections along with a midterm and final which were 2 essays each. He's super nice and is very reasonable about the amount of work the class is, especially being online. Definitely recommend

LOVED Suszko!! One short paper, one longer paper, and a group project. He gives u multiple options for things to write about and due dates, so u can fit the class to ur schedule. (I'd recommend doing them all early and then stop reading the hw). Midterm and final were essays he sent out ahead of time, so u just had to copy and paste.

Professor Suszko is a solid choice for history if you don't mind a lot of writing. You have to write a short essay (3 pages double spaced), a long essay (4-6 pages), and an oral presentation. He also has a midterm and final exam where you get 6 essays beforehand. Then he selects 4 of them on exam day and you submit 2 of them. He is a clear grader.

Comment:
One of my favorite professors. Highly suggest attending his lectures if not for the information then for the way he presents it. He always has relatable ways to talk about issues and relate them to modern-day. Midterm and final are easy as he gives you a question bank beforehand, one book review and one shorter paper, short presentation.

He's a wonderful professor, his exams are very clear because he offers all the questions to you beforehand. Along with his lectures he always gives advice that relates to a college student, or an observation about modern politics. I definitely recommend taking one of his classes.

He's very clear as to what his expectations are, and if you pay attention and take good notes in class, there's no reason you shouldn't get an A.

He is one of the most caring and funny professors I've ever had. His lectures are engaging and insightful with details about Europe from an insiders perspective. Your grade consists of two papers--both analyzing primary sources, short oral presentation, midterm, and final. You receive study guides in advance. He will always answer questions.

Dr. Suszko is the kindest and most compassionate professor Ive ever had. He understands that students have lives outside of his class and things happen - he really wants you to do well. There are 2 exams, 2 papers, and a presentation. If you dont do well on the papers you have a second chance to get a better grade. He is also hilarious.

He is such a good professor! History has never been my thing, but im glad I took his class! He is so sweet and cares for his students. There is a midterm, final, short paper, long paper, and small presentation. He gives you a study guide for both the final and the midterm!! Participation does count so show up to class. 10/10 recommend!!

he is my favorite professor I have taken at Loyola. he is so passionate about what he teaches and an amazing lecturer. he really wants to see his students succeed. the glass is graded on only a midterm, final, quick presentation, one long paper, and one short paper so its easy to lose points, but he is very clear on what he expects and very fair.

Two papers, which I believe he grades a little harshly but nothing too bad. There were a midterm and final exam, this was pure memorization and I recommend starting to study a week before the exam. Participation matters and you also give a small presentation, just go up there and you will be fine. Great professor and sincere man! Strongly recommend

There was 2 papers, an easy oral presentation (I did mine the night before lol), and 3 tests including the final. Honestly, I'm a terrible student but I ended up doing well in the class. You can tell he really cares about his students and he knows his stuff in history. You're in good hands!
