anyone got anything to say about any of these classes or instructors?

HI207 with sack, Parker, or Detreville

233 with Nauta

252 caddell, kilgroe, tyler, allen, hampton, pruden

270 Khater

275 vickery

276 kalinga

I read through the school tool stuff, and i'll look at the grade distributions later, but i'm looking more for whether or not the instructor keeps you interest and is easy to follow, and what the workload was like

Detreville is an awesome instructor. All my tests were essay, but I had her for a 400 level

Pruden is pretty good too. Tests were short answer + mult. choice from what I can remember about 252

Nauta ... well she just sucks

HI207 with sack, Parker, or Detreville

I've had all of them. They are all professors I'd take again. Sack has some quirks, but hes a good guy, and very keen on being up to date on source material. Parker is probably the biggest name historian at NCSU, and if you have his class you'll see why. Detreville is also well informed and nice.

Riddle also does some ancient classes... don't know if he'd ever cover hi 207, but he is really good in his specific fields of ancient & medieval medicine.

All this ancient talks reminds me, I should plug this group

i'm taking hi 207 with my roomate this summer(session 1) w/ detriville

i used tww's schooltool to find out information on each instructor

after weighing out avg. gpa, and other users comments on the instructors i choose detriville...parker seemed like one of those people that you either like or hate(nothing22 said that parker was pretty bad), so i didnt want to take my chances with her(she teachers in second session), while sack and detriville are first session

the reason i didnt choose sack is because a couple users said the grading was pretty strict as far as what to put in the essays

hope that helps

In defense of Dr. Sack, I never got higher than a B on anything I turned in for the class and I got an A. I only missed the class once and partipated pretty much everyday.

HI 210 Vincent

Grade based on attendance, midterm, 5-page summary paper, final exam

Should take HI 215 with Butler. History of latin america until 1812 (maybe?),

Butler is a little old man, but he you wouldn't know it by listening to him talk. Old military guy who has lots of experience with latin american culture. Just listen in class and take notes and the tests are real easy. 2 tests (a couple short answer and 1 essay) , 1 paper, and the final (a couple short answer and 2 essays). There are 3 books, but I never read any and came out of the class with an A
