Extremely easy class! you basically go to class look at some slides of old temples and churches from different eras, and your tests consists of knowing what time it was from. If you go the day before a tests he pretty well narrows the slides down to which ones you need to study. I got an A in the course, and would recommend him to anyone.

Ok, so all he really does is go over power points all of the class period, with a few movies. But for this class he knows it's a requirement so he doesn't grade too difficult on assignments. I played poker everyday in class on my labtop and still got an A, and I'm a 2.75 GPA student. Tests and quizzes are very do'able.

worst teacher on campus, too scatter-brained and doesn't tell you what you need to know

He is a great teacher and he is hilarious!! The things he teaches are interesting... such as what Mexican alcohol will get you ripped!! It is a pretty easy class but you have to study the slides for the test! There is only a midterm, final, slide comparison, amd comparison paper! Not too many grades!

He is an excellent professor. He is very knowledgeable on the material and enjoys talking about it. If you are interested in the subject or take advantage of the easy tests and easy paper, you can get an A

Extremely talented artist. Pleasure having for class. Better to assist in a one on one situation. Will go out of his way to help, if you ask. I would take this class a thousand times if I could.

Easiest class I've taken. However the prof doesn't seem to know his ancient history very well. Ex. CUNEIFORM IS NOT ON THE ROSETTA STONE! (For a history major, that can get VERY annoying.) At least his inaccurate hasn't made it on the tests. Do we *really* have to have a bible story every class?

Mr. A is an excellent professor.He is very intelligent regarding the subject.Will work with you to help you do well in his class.Do wish he had a more detailed syllabus,but this is his manner...laid back,casual,relaxed,and enjoyable makes an interesting class out of what many consider a boring topic

He is a cool guy. Doesnt expect too much out of students. If you pay attention in class and know the slides you will be fine. Lots of great stories.

Aakhus is cool. He's a nice guy with lots of enthusiasm and a very casual style. He's the sort of professor who'll just kick off his shoes, sit back and show some interesting slides. He's very fond of the Louve. :)

He makes the class sound difficult b/c he doesn't give clear details re:tests and papers. If you ask ?'s, he gives info. Nice guy-definitely the artsy (not academic)type. 1 page syllubus w/NO dates or outline of what to read for class. Use CLIFFS No
