Historical instructor
Original student reviews · all captured dates
Very intelligent, articulate, and organized professor. Class consists of 2 tests, a midterm paper, and a final paper. His grading standards for papers are difficult, but he does provide guidance if you seek it out. Lectures aren't mandatory but are helpful for tests. Only take this class if you're a history major or confident in your writing.Rate My Professors ↗
Absolutely Brilliant, best Prof ever. I would recommend that if you have the opportunity to, you should take a course from him.Rate My Professors ↗
It is impossible to write his standards and even though he offers comments at the end of all assignments, they're never constructive. For every 6 sentences of criticism MAYBE you'll receive a positive remark.Rate My Professors ↗
Good with questions, love the nerdy jokes and when he talks about hockey and Canada.Rate My Professors ↗
Spencer can be an amusing guy. Pretty good TA.Rate My Professors ↗
