Reviews of professor Todd Upton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is structured so you will pass even if you're not a history major. Lectures are amazing & really important. The tests & offer lot of extra credit & essays are interesting & open to interpretation. Study guides are a great way to make it through readings & just like the quizzes. The textbooks are essential. Pay attention & study  Pass!

Upton was really amazing. He is so passionate about his work and so informative. There is a lot of reading and weekly lectures & quizzes, but he is very involved and gives amazing feedback on papers. A very forgiving grader. If I see he teaches future classes I need credit for, I will definitely take it!

His passion for the topic shines through, he can get into the weeds with obscure history and lose you, but he gets to the point soon enough. Lots of reading, we had 2 8-10 page papers, which were tough, but he is not a harsh grader. He took a lot of interest in students, if you want to learn the middle ages, there's not a lot of better options.

Show up for class, study geography for the quizzes and write your papers. I didnt do any of the mandatory reading and got an A. Has very forgiving extra credit

He was a great professor. Super enthusiastic. I really enjoyed his storytelling and his class. Would highly recommend him.
I took HIST 4711, the history of the Crusades. I selcted another course because I could not enter my own.

VERY fast talker, but incredibly knowledgable and helpful. Gives you all the information you need but be prepared to do a lot of reading and essay writing, a bit of a tougher class but he really helps you the whole way. Definitely would recommend Dr. Upton.

I highly recommend Professor Upton. He was very friendly and passionate about the history he taught and laid out the course and his expectations in a clear manner. He offers a lot of extra credit opportunities and really cares about his student's success.

Super fast talker and speeds through lectures so take a lot of notes! I really liked how we could redo quizzes until we got the grade we wanted. Overall super interesting class and Im glad I took it. Like I said before, Prof. Upton talks very fast and it is hard to keep up with his lectures sometimes but he is super passionate about his job!

He is very forgiving on tests, as long as you have a general idea youll be okay. He is really nice especially with people who pay attention and participate. He covers a lot of info in little time so do the reading, but if you dont his lectures are helpful.
