HISTORY 200
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Professor Stolz is a very nice guy, and teaches a very easy class. Rarely went to lecture and very easily secured an AB. Do the assignments and you will be fine and will likely get an A in this class. Class material is rather uninteresting, but very easy to keep up with the few assignments that you will have.

HISTORY 139
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
HIST139 with Stolz is very easy, just 2 papers the entire term, come and discuss for discussion. And no tests.

HISTORY 139
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
I loved Prof. Stolz and his class. The readings were sometimes long, but usually not 'hard' per se. He was very responsive to my emails if I ever had any questions. His slides are a little sparse by design, so I'd recommend coming to class, since a lot of the details are relayed verbally. He made the content interesting and relevant, too.

HISTORY 139
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Great prof. Lectures were always very interesting as well as the weekly readings. He makes sure that you have a strong understanding of the thematic connection between periods and topics. Extremely knowledgeable on the topic and you can tell how interested he is in sharing his knowledge.

Dr. Stolz really cares that his students learn and do well! He gives great feedback and is willing to help outside of class. Class was always fun and engaging, and he always made the content seem interesting and relevant!
