Dr. Legg wasnt too bad, but I felt he didnt explain concepts very well and his quizzes and tests were hard even after reading the textbook. He also has an attitude at times

Comment:
Easily the worst Professor I have had at WCU. I taught myself everything by reading the textbook because his lectures were nothing like the tests. He isnt helpful outside of class and even made a student cry. Im just thankful I passed the class but I would not recommend anyone to take him ever.

Comment:
He is a very confusing professor and very old school. Doesn't use D2L to post grades or anything and all the quizzes and papers are based on the readings. He doesn't take attendance, but if you don't show up you will fail the mid-term and the final. The hardest part of the class is trying to stay awake every time.

Professor Legg is an absolutely marvelous professor if you love history, bonding with professors, and receiving all the information you need for the test in class. Every class is a lecture, but they are ALL quality and time flies. Tests are insanely easy if you just write a 60 second synopsis after each lecture. A must take if you love history.

Do anything you can to avoid being stuck in this class! He lectures the entire class and calls students out. You will have reading homework almost every class that you will actually have to do due to pop quizzes. There's a midterm and a final that were both very hard, but he curved them. Do your work and you'll manage to get a good grade.

My favorite professor so far at WCU. Professor Legg really enjoys teaching and getting to know you. If you come to class with an open mind and a positive attitude you'll enjoy the class. Take good notes and go to every class and you'll do well. Not that much work.

I really enjoyed my time in Dr. Legg's class! I had him this semester and he fell sick so he was out for a week which resulted in us being a bit rushed at the end but overall I really enjoyed the class! You have to do the readings, there's no way around it but if you do them there is no reason you shouldn't pass the class.

Comment:
Legg's lectures are really lengthy, confusing, and he gets off topic. He also gets very upset when students don't participate. Going to office hours helps, but he'll keep you there for a long time. Textbooks are required and there were at least 1-2 quizzes a week and a paper every other week. Take as many notes as possible.

Professor Legg is the best professor I have had in college. I learned more through his lectures than I ever have in a history course and found myself very interested in the material he was teaching. It is important to write down everything he says during lecture. Participation is not mandatory, however, it makes the class far more beneficial.

Dr. Legg is a great professor. He assigns readings that you are quizzed on, but as long as you actually read the quizzes are super easy. He only keeps your 4 highest scores. Tests arent bad. Make sure you write down everything he says in class. There are 3 assignments (5 questions each) that require you to think but arent hard at all.

Take good notes and pay attention. Attendance is mandatory, if you miss one class you'll be far behind already. Rely on your notes to study, his powerpoint will not be useful. Go to office hours as often as possible. Tough class, but he will grade you depending on your effort.

He would give lectures- the test is what is on the projector and everything he would tell you. write it all down. there are four test and readings (which you will be tested on) you actually have to read! your four best scores will be taken. Overall, you will work for your grade and I recommend you go see him bc he wont post your grades online. :((

Legg was awful. He could be extremely rude to students and cant read social ques. His lecture voice was a cross between yelling and a soft condescending voice. study super hard for tests both with the textbook and class notes. everything in the lectures are fair game for tests. no projects. tests were multiple choice and essay writing.

Took this class as a junior and it is the hardest class I have taken so far. Way to hard for a 100 level course. Get ready to read because the readings are typically 25 pages long and there will be a quiz in class. Test's are based off his lectures. I would recommend writing every word he says in class, ya never know what will be on the tests.

This class is one of the only classes that I felt like I was learning in, and he is a very caring professeur. You don't need the textbook because it won't help on tests. All of his test questions come from what he says in class. He speaks very fast, so I would recommend typing your notes.

the worst class I have taken is with him. As a first year student, having him at 8am mon/wed/fri was the biggest drag. He gets off topic way too much and as he has a lot of knowledge the way he constructs the class is completely unhelpful and confusing. His tests are hard, and gives quizzes almost every week. I would do anything to get out of it!

Overall good teacher. On the tougher side but does a good job explaining his slides with out of history questions. Pretty relaxing though, not too serious of a guy. Would take a class of his again.

Professor Legg is the best professor/teacher I have ever had in my life. The class is by no means easy and you will have to work to see good grades, however I have never learned so much in my life. He constantly uses analogies that connect ideas and expects you to understand the big picture. He, nor the class is intimidating as others are saying
