| Additional Comments |
I'm sure Dr. Keyser has a lot of offer, but I do not agree with his teacher methods. The first thing you'll notice is the sheer amount of notes you'll take in his class. This is merely a "breif" outline of what you are expected to study in the book. "For every hour in class, study two hours outside. That is the only way you will do well in my class" as he says. If you are able to read a chapter and retain/comprehend everything then you should be ok. I personally do not learn well from reading text.
Test are overly hard. It's not the actual testing material, but what you are expected to know. Study guides outline the three possible 10 page essays of which you are expected to prepare, plus a list averaging around 50 possible terms. Out of the massive list of terms, only 5 will be listed on the test, and you will be required to anwser 2.
I do not know how to do well in the class without studying 8 hours a day. Maybe it'll be easy for others, but if you're not into studying a text for hours in end, avoid this class. If you're addicted to history, military history in particular, this class is for you.
One last bit of information I would have like to know before enrolling in his class: Dr. Keyser will NOT excuse any absence for any reason. "I do not care if you are in a hospital bed dying."
