    HIST49B . Miescher S F A Month Ago

    Nice guy and very approachable, I just didn't find the lectures very engaging. He knows his content really well but my TA was alright and prof wasn't very clear with anything in class. Surprise writing and pop quizzes which absolutely can tank your grade if you're not careful.

    HIST49B . Miescher S F 5 Years Ago

    He was not a clear lecturer and if you depend on slides for notes, this ain't for you. I got a B after skipping class the second half of the quarter. Material also was not that interesting; not a difficult GE though.

    HIST49C . Miescher S F 6 Years Ago

    He is a good lecturer with an incredible understanding of the material. The class isn't particularly difficult and his lectures are thorough, but if you really want an A or A+ you really need to do all the readings as well as show up to class. The readings will usually take between one and two hours to complete but are definitely worth it for the A

    DO NOT TAKE AFRICAN HISTORY, unless you really love Africa. This class is sooooo much reading and its very boring. DO NO RECOMMEND
