Comment:
I went to the first class of Hist 388. I am sorry to say, all Professor May did was ramble. He spoke a lot while somehow saying nothing about the class. He also spoke very quietly and was hard to hear. While he may have been a good professor in the past, I think he is too old to teach now. I dropped after the first class.

Mr. May knows the material very well. He is able to convey it very well, as far as I'm concerned. My issue was not with him but the GTFs. The GTFs gave you little even if you gave a lot and you'd get hammered even for the smallest mistake or leaving something out such as essays.

Comment:
Relatively nice, but sometimes off-putting old man who teaches Vietnam War history and other Asian history. He's funny at times and loves to show his military background. The paper topics were fine, the only problem were GTFs and his grading. Unforgivable difficulty even when you try. He doesn't like people to go to his office hours. Avoid

Comment:
Class was decent. He knows his stuff, but does not lecture in a very organized fashion and its sometimes difficult to follow. Gets sidetracked occassionally. For the paper, be sure you do EXACTLY as the intructions say, or you will lose points for being creative, like I did.

Best Professor I've ever had, bar none. He knows a ton about and has personal experience with his subject matter, and is relatively easy grade-wise to boot. This makes for lots of learning, not much BS, and a good class overall.
