Dr. Nick is genuinely a nice guy, however he expects a lot from you. What he teaches and the topics covered are interesting, but if you can't take notes fast...good luck. Expect to spend around 4-5 hours on his HW per week. Participation is key! If you don't say at least one thing per class, you will not do well in his course. It's just a lot.

Easy A if you can do manage to do the weekly homework and theres no tests or quizzes. The class is mostly based on participation in daily discussions and homework. Its pretty frustrating if you actually want to learn because the lectures are short and lack detail. He shows a lot of movies/clips. It says book is required, but you NEVER use it.

He gives overall good lectures dealing with history. It takes some understanding, but you eventually catch on. His personality is one of a kind and he takes the time to answer questions.

He definately knows a lot about history, but he does not know how to teach it at all, he gives lots and lots of homework that can take a lot of time outside of class, most of which are writing around 1000 word essays, at least once a week. Then in class most the time is spent sharing your responses to the essay prompts in class.
