Reviews of professor Keith Pluymers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
All I can say is... KEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHH. Keith is by far one of the nicest and most enjoyable people I've ever met. I really could care less about Early Modern European History, but Keith somehow made it enjoyable! Funny dude! Not a harsh grader, but gives amazing feedback. Most of class is papers. Really an amazing dude. 100% take him!

Keith came 1/2 way through the course as the previous professor had to take a leave of absence. He made sure that we got a "restart" on the class. He doesn't require you to go to class but his lectures can be good to have for your weekly reading. For my class, we had 2 papers + our grades from the previous professor. He wants everyone to succeed.

Dr. Pluymers is the most compassionate, motivating, and compelling professor in the Illinois State University History Department. History 308 mainly consists of four reflection papers and a large project, in the traditional and alternative sense. Honestly, if this website would allow me to write more than 350 characters, I definitely would.

10/10

Great professor. This class was challenging because its just papers. Theres not that many but its all your graded on. So take them seriously if you want a good grade. You didnt have to be in class but I definitely did better on my papers when I was in attendance.

Nicest guy in the History Dept. and the easiest grader I've ever had. Knows so so so much about environmental history and cares deeply not only for the earth but for his students as well.
