| Additional Comments |
For a required course, Eagle's class is rather difficult and time consuming unlike the identical courses taught by other professors. Every week the student is assigned a ten (multiple choice) question take home quiz and a reading assignment complete with at least two short answer questions. These are assigned even on midterm week which takes away from a student's time to study. There are three exams: two midterms and a final. The exams are all ID's and essays. For the ID's the student must identify the term, explain in detail what it is, and then explain the significance. The student must chose around four out of seven ID's to complete. Each ID is expected to be a good paragraph or two. There is alway an essay portion of the test where you must write a five paragraph essay for a very general concept covered during the section that is being tested. There are two essays on the final: one pertaining to the section covered right before the exam and another that is cumulative. The study guide isn't very helpful since it has around 25-30 ID's on it to be studied when only around seven will be on the exam. The class itself is lecture intensive.
Overall, if you are good at managing time and essay questions then this is the right class for you. On the other hand, if you don't enjoy history and are not willing to dedicate too much time to it, it is best if you find another professor for this required course. I've heard that other professors teach a much easier class.
