Reviews of professor Steven Lechner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I absolutely love Dr.Lechner! He is passionate about student's ability to engage with material and think critically...that's what his class is all about. Assignments are based on readings about every other week and there are no exams, just unit papers to turn in. Although he is a tough grader, you are given weeks to work on everything.

good luck! I thought it was going to be easy. Work is due before EVERY CLASS and you have to answer 2-3 questions with min 235 words on ancient historical readings that are 20 plus pages that are impossible to understand. He grades on participation and I had an A in the class and I got a C for participation and it dropped my grade 10 points.

Dr. L. is very intense but only because he really enjoys teaching HI305. Readings were consistently interesting, if a little long sometimes. Nightly written, graded homework. Projects are fun and discussions were always lively. He reminded multiple of my classmates of their dad, same with me. Take him because he rules.

I don't know why he is rated so high. Stands at front and talks every day, nothing else. Grades papers SO hard it is ridiculous and the papers are annoying. Very strict on attendance and overall just a very frustrating class. I would not take again idk why people say his lectures are entertaining he just stands there and talks

Not gonna lie, this wasn't an easy class and the papers are tough, BUT I still highly recommend taking Dr. Lechner. He makes critical thinking a core component and you WILL improve by the time you're done. Office hours were amazing as he's super patient working through confusion points. Respects students and wants them to succeed.
