Max Ward
HIST
Professor Ward is an extremely engaging lecturer and his passion for the material comes through. He is clear about what he expects and the exams are predictable and easy as long as you put in some effort to memorizing the terms. I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it.
Professor Ward is an engaging professor who was very fun to learn from. The discussion posts were helpful in my understanding of the material. He was accommodating and a fair grader. If you study the handouts, you will do fine on the exams!
Professor Ward isn't the best lecturer, but the readings and sources make this class worth taking. I would have preferred a seminar-style though--with a smaller class but full group discussions (he is a much better discussion leader than lecturer). Beware of 500 word weekly discussion posts. I also wish there was a big paper rather than all the "journal entries."
