Quality 2/5Difficulty 2/5
Graded fairly and pretty easily. The final grade is based on quizzes, 6 journals, and a field report. The journals and field report were not graded until the end so I had no real idea of my grade throughout the semester. Since there was no feedback, I did not know if my work (journal entries) was up to his standards.

Easy class even though a bit boring at times. I learned quite a bit but I wish the material was presented more interestingly.

He is very rude and not helpful at all. He is very hard to talk to about assignments. And very unorganized. Awful.

He was unorganized, un-prepared, and rude. He was not clear on any of the written assignments, and didnt even turn one of them back to us. He is by far the worst prof. i have ever had.

Prof. Anjum is clearly a very intelligent man, who has no idea how to relate to his students. His lectures are scatter-brained and impossible to follow--- NO organization whatsoever. That being said, the class is very easy with little reading, especially for a history course.

Really disorganized and random lectures. It's clear he knows the stuff, but it is so hard to follow because it's so jumpy. Interesting topic, but lectures can be painful. Not too hard, as long as you can sit through the boring lectures.
