Reviews of professor Seth Archer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Supper nice, you just have to read a bit. There was a pop quiz, other than that he tells you what is on each test, and as long as you read it's an easy A.

Seth Archer knows American History and is a great Professor. The only thing you are graded on are the written essay exams - no papers, no assignments, just tests. To do well on the essay exams, you need to attend class, take notes, and do the reading. I learned a lot and enjoyed it but there is a lot of reading to do per week.

Dr. Archer is an exceptional professor. He's very passionate about history, and that shines through in his lectures. You're graded based on 3 midterms, 1 "pop" quiz, and the final, all of which are essays. You cannot BS your essay exams (learned that the hard way), but if you put in the work, your grade will reflect that. And you will read, a lot.

Great class. He makes history interesting. He uses an exact grading system, and as long as you go to class and do the readings, it isn't hard to get an A in the class.

Archer is a really great teacher. His lectures are interesting and he knows what he's talking about. The only thing he grades you on is 4 essay tests throughout the year so make sure you study and go to class. He grades fair and is very nice and funny.

Highly politicized class. Vast majority of class conversations were about current politics and were all extremely one-sided. Some good readings, but obvious bias in what readings and topics were chosen (over half the readings about civil rights and racism, which is important to learn about but not applicable in this course.) Dont take this course
