Comment:
I enjoyed his class, his lectures do get a bit monotonous if u arent very interested in the subject but he adds a bit of humor and is very helpful if u have questions. He knows his topics thoroughly, so when it's time to write a paper pick a topic you find interesting because ur gonna want to do some research. (use b-ok. org to get free sources!)

Comment:
Not a very difficult class, especially for a history major. Even if you're not a history major it's really not difficult. Really only have to buy the book for quotes to use on papers so if you can figure a way around that, don't even get the book. Again, if you already know the subject material, you can skip lecture pretty freely.

Comment:
Not a mandatory class, but his lectures are very long and informative so if you don't go, you're screwed for the test. He doesn't post things online. He has an interesting accent but his lectures are boring, overall not too hard. Lots of memorization for the writing intensive tests, but it's not hard to do well. He's a pretty funny guy too

He is a great professor. Grade heavily relies on two exams and two essays. Writing intensive.

Comment:
Took this class because i needed some elective and heard he was a good professor and it was a relatively easy class. Not the case. Lectures were so boring that people would fall asleep. Come test time he expects you to memorize so much information and his tests are relatively hard. Would recommend for anyone

Comment:
Pretty easy gen. ed. option (instead of western civ). you can skip lecture if you want but I understood the readings better if I went to class that week. He gives you the questions for the midterm and final in advance! 2 boring 5pg papers but the grading is lenient. Do well on midterm and final and it's at least an easy B+.

Awesome class! So interesting! There is a lot of reading but if you don't read it won't kill you. Whole grade is 4/5 essays and participation.

Comment:
Excellent proffessor who really knows his stuff. Doesn't take attendance but recommend going to lectures as that way you don't need to read the textbook (apart from for papers) and he explains everything really well. One in class exam (which he gives a list of possible questions - same for final) and 2 papers. Loved this class!

Pros: Great accent, phenomenal speaker, knows his stuff. Cons: Kyle's only slain three dragons to date, so he's slightly lacking in the experience department.

Comment:
Kyle is awesome. Sometimes it's a challenge to stay awake but generally his lectures are really interesting and he covers book material well, making the reading really only necessary for papers. Very understanding if you need an extension on a paper and you have a legit reason. Accent and general New Zealand style make Kyle epic

Attendance is mandatory if you want to do well as you will take lots of notes every class. Good professor, making his lectures seem like stories. A ton of reading and it's necessary that you do most of it.

He is a great teacher, even though attendance is not taken you should go to Lectures because then you will not have to read the readings. Readings only used for reference in essays.

Kyle is the man! He's got an amazing sense of humor and an even better accent/style. He's a great professor, and covers everything in lecture, so you don't really need to read the book (maybe for tests). Lots of papers, but don't be discouraged - he's an easy grader!

Make sure you go to class! He takes attendance in all of his upper level courses. He's a wonderful professor and will always cut you some slack if you deserve it. Some people found it difficult to understand his accent, but you definitely get used to it after a few classes with him. He's extremely intelligent, but he has a great sense of humor.

This guy is the man and everyone should know it, he's got this kinda swagger about him (if thats possible for a professor) that makes class pretty cool. Readings dont matter but I did take a lot of notes in class. After seeing him hit the bars one night he's become a running inside joke for me and my friends...
