Don Wyatt

Professor Wyatt is a lovely guy. He is clearly very knowledgeable, and I appreciate how he really tries to live by the philosophy he teaches. That being said, this course has a very narrow way of assessing students that is frustrating (chronology section requires extremely specific knowledge of dates that may not have been said specifically in class). Additionally, his lecture style can be a little boring as it is not interactive really. Its more like watching a live documentary.

While the subject matter of this class was enjoyable and the course moved at a good pace - not sticking to one subject for too long nor speeding along too quickly for comprehension - the style may not be for everyone. We met twice each week in which the professor lectured with a slideshow and read off a script, the last 10 minutes of class dedicated to an open Q&A. Between classes we had a frankly ridiculous amount of readings (sometimes entire books) which were ultimately not incorporated into any exam and merely provided supplemental content to our lectures.

Genuinely the worst class I have ever taken. Wyatt comes into class with a script, reads it in an extremely monotone voice, and then at the end asks for questions. I wanted to take this course to fill my dist req, but not worth it. Never take this class.
