Comment:
I didn't like this class at all. The professor spent quite a bit of time complaining about being underpaid. He was coming to class in sweatpants and t-shirts with holes on them. He was without a doubt, the most unprofessional professor I've had. Additionally, I found him to be rude and condescending at times.

Todd gives inspirational and thought-provoking lectures. Definitely not boring! He doesn't really believe in tests, but provides lots of writing homework. I would recommend taking this class if you are interested in US History!

Comment:
Realistic expectations for a GER class. He wants you to grasp a general understanding of important events in history, but not obsessed with dates and silly details that your never going to need to know. He gives interesting lectures, easy open book take home quizzes, and a couple short essays. Easy and fun class overall.

Comment:
The professor talked a lot about movies and would somehow relate them to whatever we were studying, which was odd. I found him to be very passionate about past civilizations and would talk about certain things nonstop. The assignments were not hard- a 20 question take home quiz is due every class. Take this class if you like lectures.

Comment:
He knows the material very very well. The only thing I did not enjoy about this class was the fact that your grade was based nothing but on essays. But it was good to have as a general for a refresher on writing. He is very awesome about letting you redo all of your papers, and makes it very clear that he is not there to fail you.

If you're a nerd, he'll love you and talk Star Trek. If not, then he'll express his authority over you and talk down to you. Have fun to all the dudes getting laid and hot chicks...

His class was fun but hard. Overall he was a very good professor and had an original way of teaching. My only complaint would be the tests which contained some obscure questions. I still managed to pull an A in the class with pretty minimal studying.

Comment:
Knowledgeable, ill give him that much. Presents materials in sometimes (more then some) in a questionable fashion. test reflects book, not what he says in class. cite sources and you will 90% of the time pass his papers. wouldnt reccomend him for a history GER.

Comment:
One of the better history teachers I've had. highly knowlegable on ancient history (especially the Roman Empire). Demanding on assignments (large papers in specific formats). Grades hard. Tests are a, uh, SURPRISE. Got an 'A' for good papers...but spent way too many hours on them (for a 100 level class). Overall, decent history prof. but not easy.

Horrible teacher. The tests didn't reflect the material, he doesn't follow his syllabus, and I'm about 12 weeks into the semester and I haven't gotten back a single paper. One of the worst teachers I've ever had.

Comment:
Very amusing. (Also a dork.) More than happy to engage in discussion and answer questions in class. Not sure where he pulled the questions on our test though. A lot of obscure things. Gave a nice curve though. :-) Look forward to taking another of his classes.

Rude and chauvinistic. He told my class (18 women, 2 men) that he felt that women shouldn't receive equal pay for equal work.
