Reviews of professor Pieter Voogt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Voogt tries to make the class interesting but it is pretty boring overall. If you do not read the book, there's a high chance that you will not pass the tests or the class in general. There are many quizzes and two tests then the final.

Professor Voogt is boring, unwilling to help, and AWFUL at responding to emails. His classes consist of reading word for word off of a powerpoint that he rarely posted to D2L. His tests are very detailed and contain maybe 10% of what the study guide says to study. Avoid this prof if at all possible.

Just do your part and you will do fine. The tests are mostly over his lectures, so attendance is important. The quizzes are all ten questions and multiple choice, as long as you paid attention and read the chapter, its a breeze. He's a nice guy and he's passionate about the subject. I don't understand why the negativity.

His test are super hard for no reason at all. You have to do so much in such a little time. I don't see the point of his teachings in correlation with the tests. It doesn't help that his lectures were super boring an drug out. His PowerPoints/study guide were not very helpful at all either. Glad it was his last year teaching. Wouldn't take again.

Dr Voogt is extremely knowledgable, has a great rapport with his class, and is greatly respected. I learned so much in Hist3305, I highly recommend this professor and this class. A good, fun challenging course that puts a lot of context to our world.

The lectures were just so-so, but I don't understand some of the negative comments complaining there were a lot of quizzes and you had to read in order to do well on them. Duh!! It was on the syllabus that there would be quizzes. And if you don't do the reading, it's your fault, not the professor's.
