Reviews of professor Royce Gildersleeve

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is a very nice guy but not my favorite professor. Your supposed to take notes on chapter readings outside of class and then he'll lecture the exact same thing in class. Lectures are pretty boring and hard to follow along. He talks fast and doesn't have many words on the slide so it's hard to keep up. Final project and exam are not hard though.

Dr. Gildersleeve is pretty much the best history professor you could ever ask for. His lectures are absolutely riveting, homework is very fair and reasonable, and the book is free. Just be sure to take notes on the lectures - difficult since they're so engaging - as the midterm and final exams (both of which are essays) depend heavily on them.

im sure hes a great lecturer in person, but over zoom is another story. the class seems simple enough, but if lectures make or break a class for you, i suggest you look elsewhere.
