Reviews of professor Steven Lechner

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Lechner was amazing for HI380. I loved the discussions and getting to learn more about nonprofits.  The material was fascinating and he was funny.  There were a lot of readings and two papers due, but I still enjoyed the class.  Make sure to go to class and participate since it factors into the grade.

Is very enthusiastic about what he is teaching and is shows during class. Very knowledgable on all of the topics. Do not take if you want an easy history credit because there are other sections for that. The class is discussion based so make sure your comfortable talking infront of others

Readings and questions are assigned that are due at the beginning of each class. A few papers are assigned and he grades them harshly. If you do not like to talk a lot, I would not recommend this class because it is mostly discussion based. However, Professor Lechner is very knowledgeable with history and can answer many questions.

I absolutely loved taking his class, he is very funny and helpful but does assign a lot of papers ("HTA's") that were 10ish paragraphs, but he isn't a harsh grader and if you don't procrastinate you'll do fine. He wants to help you succeed and is very responsive to emails. Absolutely take this class, he is an amazing professor and it isn't hard.
