He was a very understanding professor as we are still in a pandemic. Wasnt necessary to listen to lecture as long as you read through the PowerPoints

The best professor at USM, hands down. If you come to class and take notes, youre guaranteeing yourself an A. He gives study guides and if its not on there, it wont be on the test. He has taught me in 2019 and my dad in the 90s (but hes not that old!) and we have both agreed he has been our favorite professor EVER!

Dr Wiest was amazing! Hes funny, and he understands being a student in college, therefore hes very lenient with his class. He does accept late work, even for tests! He gives extra credit, and the lectures are fun to watch, even if you dont enjoy history. His tests were essay based, but they were pretty easy. If you want a smooth ride, take him!

I love this professor!!! He gives amazing lectures that never get boring and assigns a fair amount of work other than essays that aren't tedious. However, he relies heavily on his TAs for grading so for one class you may get great grades, then the TAs switch and so does the type of grading.

One of my all time favorite professors! His lectures are extremely entertaining and hilarious so going to class was always something I looked forward to. His tests have a lot of information but if you go to class, take good notes, and study itll be an easy A.

If you are not an auditory learner, I do not recommend taking him. As long as you attend class and complete the study guides you will do fine.

Love this guy. His TAs grade pretty well, but make sure you study for the tests. When he sends out the study guides, DO THEM.

Honestly my favorite professor yet. Hilarious dude that actually made history so easy for me. The tests aren't hard and there are only a few assignments in the class. The assignments and the tests aren't difficult at all, so as long as you get grades on those, you're golden. Wish all my professors were as great at communicating topics so easily.

Andrew Wiest is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is extremely relatable and makes everything understandable. He teaches with stories that are easy to remember and only the material he feels important. He's really a cool guy. The test are relatively difficult so study as you go along the chapter and really pay attention in class.

Makes History interesting. Rather than just spitting out facts, he tells stories to make the material much easier to remember. He really cares about his students. He gives 3 essay assignments (with one drop grade essay) and 3 tests.

Not very organized, but had a good sense of humor. He insisted on the readings, but I didn't get much out of them personally. First paper was graded very harshly, but he didn't seem to care much after that. Passionate about what he studies on his own time, but don't expect him to put too much effort into the class.

I have never had a good history teacher, and I thought history was boring. With him teaching the class, he completely changed my mind. I actually enjoyed the class and wish I would have gotten to take him for history 102.

This class was VERY hard, but learned so much. Make sure your grammar is on point for the essays. Lots of people have old tests of his.. mostly sorority girls, BUT beware he changes them up (as he should you cheaters) overall, he really is great!

Best history professor to have! If you don't go to class you probably won't pass because he goes over SO MUCH during one lecture. He made learning history very enjoyable. I actually looked forward to going to his class! Highly recommend Dr. Wiest.

This is the best history teacher I've ever had, He's hilarious, cares about his students, but is still strict enough to keep you in line. He's a great guy and teacher. I'd take him for every class if I could.

He is only a tough grader if he doesn't like you. I know students who can barely form a sentence that he gave an A to. This guy hates Israel and inserts liberal nutbag political jibes in at will. He speaks in very poor English and is misogynistic. Mostly men in my class and I can see why. Steer clear if you want an education. Take LaPierre instead.
