CollegeHe is so boring. Graded on an 8 page paper, and midterm and final which are all essay questions. Very time consuming to study for everything and really boring GE class that it's unbearable.
I loved Dr Roberts the class was not hard at all considering he pulls test questions directly from the study guides. There was one 8 page research paper but we had a month to do it and got to choose between multiple prompts. Def recommend
I enjoyed Roberts's lectures and thought he was fun to listen to. There were weekly lecture quizzes (with stuff only said at lecture so you should go), an 1800-word paper, a map you fill out, a midterm, and a final. The study guides given for the midterms and finals have the exact questions on the exam so if you study you will be fine.
The class is boring, but if you're looking for an easy GE def take this class. For the tests, he puts out a study guide and picks questions from it. There is an 8-page paper that takes some work, but only for about a week. You can get by without doing any of the reading from the textbook or PDFs (usually a lot). Roberts is also a genuinely nice guy
