| Additional Comments |
Dr. Reed is a sort of "new school" history teacher with more emphasis on papers and discussion with good and bad. Well, the good first. Professor Reed is a nice guy. You can disagree with him and he'll still be fair with you. His niceness seems genuine when you talk with him, unlike some others. He seems to care about students. His class allows for lots of discussion, and many seemed eager to participate. The extra credit is based on this and your improvement over the semester. I was blessed to receive some of this. The class itself can be generally interesting as he is a good lecturer and he uses Powerpoint for visuals.
However, he often seems to eager to play the cool guy unsuccessfully and says some offensive things in class; not just bad language. His left politics can often creep into his lectures as he generally plays down America's role. He says he is a card-carrying member of the ACLU. He's not as bad as some though. The class requirements (3 papers, 2 tests) aren't bad, but the papers can be hard to get a handle on what exactly he wants. I got lower grades on the first two than I hoped for. Format is less important on papers than content; they are like book reports on 3 pretty large books that I did not think were great. Be sure to use some outside sources from class and give lots of analysis. Overall, it may prove difficult to get an A since papers are roughly 60% of the grade.
Should you take him? Well, if he teaches a class you need, he'd be okay.
