I would suggest definitely taking him. He really knows what he is talking about and makes it easy to understand. He uses examples from today' world that make you understand things that happened way back when. His quizzes are a bit difficult, but his tests are simple. He tells you the answers to the quizzes and uses those questions on the final.

Great Professor! very clear! Really knows what he's talking about. Give you alot of time to make up the tests and essays. There's 3 quizzes and 3 essay tests. The final has the exact same questions as the 3 quizzes. You can just repeat wht he said in lectures for essays but you need to read the txtbk to do good on the quiz (all multiple choice)

What a dedicated and interesting professor! He wants the work and the reading done & he wants to help you do well. If you do the reading & do quality work, you get good grades. This is college, not high school, and he expects you to know the difference. He also makes himself available for questions and help. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

very knowledgeable, makes every topic interesting, has funny stories, and lets students make up things they've missed. I had him for a summer course, and I think he's a better professor than anybody at my home university

This guy can teach. Easily one of the smartest professors i've had the pleasure of having, yet at the same time hes got a pretty hilarious sense of humor and manages to make class literally fly by. Im surprised he's never been asked to be one of those talking heads on the history channel. Also a fair grader and very easygoing personality.

He's one of the smartest professors at Nassau. He knows everything about history and can go into depth about events and dates without ever looking at a text book. He has great stories and is a pretty cool guy. He lets you make up any test before the end of the semester and any essay before the next essay. Overall he's a pretty awesome guy.

I did horribly on his quizzes and still got an A! I could never seem to study the right material for the quizzes. He adds 2 points your participation grade every day that you speak. It's an easy way to make up for missed points on quizzes or tests! All essays are in class. Just do the work and ask about your average so he knows you're trying.

Professor Boyden is an amazing teacher who takes the time to really explain his material. The only negative thing about his class are the 5 point quizes they are really hard to get a good grade on, but there only five points. Overall he is a great teacher.

Professor Boyden is an excellent teacher. He makes the class very interesting and entertaining. I was very impressed with the way he handled the middle ages, especially where it coincides with the history of Christianity.
