He's better than McDean, that's for sure. He can be rather rude sometimes, but I guess it is because he teaches Freshmen.

I can see how a lot of people would really hate this teacher. He was on a lot of people's butts about everything, and of course if you were late he would lecture you on it in front of the class. However, I thought he was a great teacher if you just followed the rules. He knew his stuff and was a great teacher. I would take his class again any time.

Comment:
What an ass. be glad he retired/left state. he requires you to go but all he does is read his course reader out loud to the class. If you aren't early, he makes a big scene in front of the whole class about being late and wasting his time. not a nice person, at all

This guy is so mean!You have to be on time and never leave class early..or else he yells at you and makes you stay. i remember looking at rate my proffessor before taking the class and thinking "Im a good student" hes not going to be mean to me. So i took his class. He yelled at me for not geting up fast enough to grab my quiz. He picks on everyone

Comment:
super easy class but lectures get kind of boring sometimes especialy if you have the 8:00 am class which is a struggle on how to rest your eyes with him not noticing. just read his "Lide Reader" and you will get an A or B, very good and interesting History class especialy if you like history (like me)

Smart, hard, no study guides, only hmwk is reading, 2 in class essays, ridiculous test questions, always wears sunglasses, anal about attendance and paying attention. I got lucky with my A-...real lucky. If you have high enough grade near the end you can be exempt from final. Only a couple quizzes.

Comment:
HORRIBLE. He wastes your time by demanding you come to class when everything is based on the book, even his pseudo-book that he "wrote," which is just an outline of the book. Hes a nazi and demands that you're on time, you don't leave early, you pay attention at ALL TIMES. Boring, egotistical, pretentious, an attendance-nazi, and wastes your tim

Comment:
Worst prof ever! Dont take him if you can! Lectures straight out of book and the quizes cover alot of material at once. There are pop quizes so you have to read like 30 pages a week plus the reader plus outside sources (those are bs). Went to him for help, recomended I read 15 minutes everyday...NO that does not work!...FYI cumulative final,

classes are all lecture. which gets boring if you take a morning class. tests are every 2 weeks over 10 chapters! so if you dont read every day, you'll fail and cramming won't work bc a lot of info is covered. reader helps a lot. otherwise, understanding guy. allows make-up tests. he takes attendance so you have to go to class.

I thought his class was easy. I got an A and I did not have to take the final. I was on his good side so life was easier for me, but I saw how rude he could be to people who are struggling in the class. He is very anal about attendance and talking in class..

By far easiest classes I have taken at State. You must be retarted or have some sort of disability to not succeed in his class. Just reread the notes he provides you with, skim the text, know the geography of the places you study, and you are fine.

I don't know why for all the negative comments. Just don't be late, like i was, and its nice. If you are late a lot, he asks and does get a little upset. Tests not hard, if you study. This isn't an easy A, but if you study, the bell curve helps ya! In any other class, i would be at B-, here, I am at a low A! wahoo

Can sometime get really upset if you are late to class but he definetly knows his stuff about history. i would probably suggest not taking him, really hard tests.
