Comment:
A good choice for a humanities elective. Go to the lectures and take good notes. He will point out things he will ask on the tests. If you do well enough on the two midterms you can skip the final. This class isn't hard, just don't put off studying for the last minute.

Comment:
Professor Greksa has great lectures and is a really kind passionate guy. If you show up, listen to what he says and take notes, and do the assigned readings you will be set for an A. The tests were very fair and straightforward, and he grades very easily. Would definitely recommend this class for anybody!

Dr. Greksa is a really straight forward professor, doing well in this class really just takes attendance to lectures, a decent amount of focus, and thinking critically through the homeworks. If you do all of this, the final exam is nothing to worry about.

Comment:
Homework is 50% of the grade in this class, and its usually only 3 questions for the week. Tests are repetition of the homework, and the class should be an easy A as long as you go to lecture. Its not mandatory and he does post the slides, but it is really helpful and his lectures are interesting given the somewhat dry concepts.

He's very passionate about the subject and it shows, helping to keep lectures interesting. Tests are straightforward as long as you listen in class and take notes. At least a few test questions are off the assigned readings but just skimming the night before is enough.

Comment:
I got an A in the class but it was not easy. I was one of those people who showed up to all of his lectures and carefully took notes on everything he said. Tests based on what he said. The class has a midterm and an end of semester exam and if you're happy with your score after that, there's no final. Lectures can get quite boring and long.

Good professor, very soft-spoken and approachable. Attend every classmeet with him when you miss or you're screwed. Posts notes online but does not include what hes talking about on them. Often a lot of information is given in a table that will only be understood if you were there to hear him talk about it. Do the HW its 50% of your grade.

As long as you attend class and take notes, the class should be an easy A. The tests are straightforward and he is very clear about what is on them. He is clearly very knowledgeable about the subject, and makes the class very interesting. No textbook required either.

His explanations are very clear, despite the boring topic. Just go to class, because he sometimes leaves out slides just to mess with you. Expectations for homework and tests are nice and clear, and he is a fair grader.

Attending class is a must since posted notes are not comprehensive, but if you do so, the class is very easy. Only four tests and a final, and you drop the lowest grade. Plus, the tests are straight from the notes and not nearly as unclear as people are claiming. I personally did no work outside of class and got low A's / high B's on every test.

Three exams, and a final. No papers, no quizes, no homework. Plus all notes were online! Sounds simple. I missed a few classes, a lot actually, but since the notes were all online I was able to answer the questions completely. Got a C. Strange though... most of my answers were "word for word" from the notes, but still got a C. Geezer.

Meticulous grader. Exams are straight from notes, questions are vague, but answers demand detail for a good grade... Go to class if want any chance of getting an A - posted notes don't cover all material...

Good guy. Very clear in his explanations, mild mannered, tries to make a really boring subject as interesting as possible. Cuts slack on exams, tries very hard to make it as easy as possible for the students to understand what he wants them to know.
