Majewski has a very clear way of presenting his powerpoints. You have to go to certain lectures and bring an iClicker to certify that you were there. Two 6-page essays and a final in essay form. Try to get a TA that is an easy grader if you're not good at history.

he's very clear and the book reminds me of a book from high school. this class made me actually interested in history. he uses the iclicker for attendance to give you a better chance of getting a good grade. papers are pretty clear too. i reccommend history 17B.

Lectures were interesting. The exam topics were long and difficult to build a clear thesis. Class could've been structured better. But history is history.

He is very knowledgable and passionate about the subject. Class grade is solely based on your TA, easy because my TA was an easy grader. Papers and final pretty easy because he asks you questions about things you have covered extensively in lecture or readings. The primary documents are pretty helpful, but the textbook was not needed.

His class was ok. I didn't enjoy it too much, I dont understand why people think he's incredible. He's a pretty good teacher but I think the material was really extensive. You have yo do readings every week that you need to write and discuss about in discussion. I spent a lot of my time on this class!

I love Majewski!! The class is hard because the TAs grade the papers harshly (but i think they purposely graded the first one harder to scare us) but i think they graded us pretty easily on the final. Majewski is adorable and all his little jokes make me laugh. he's very likeable.

Lectures very well done: organized clearly, main points are reiterated multiple times, easy to follow, take notes on, and study from. Speaking style is clear as well, nothing is left to the imagination. Overall a very high quality professor. Highly recommended.

I was not interested in History whatsoever before taking this class, but I loved it. There are two papers so that sucked but overall the class was interesting and Majewski is a great professor. I would totally take another class with him. Make sure you get a good TA, cause that's where you're grade is.

His history of the Civil War upper division class is a must-take for any history major.

go to lecture, i didn't do half of the reading and I still got a B. 2 essays and a final...just don't get a bad TA

His lectures are clear and easy to follow. The reading is also really easy to understand, and there isn't really all that much. Theres no midterm, but two essays. And he gives you all the questions beforehand for the final, so as long as you prepare, you'll do just fine.

I hated history before taking this class. Prof. Majewski is an awesome professor, I definetly recommend taking his class. The papers aren't too hard but the final is, so make sure you go to class and take lots of notes. He puts the slides online and there is no midterm.

I really enjoyed this class. Took this class to full requirements, and I'm really glad i took it! He made his class easy to follow along. The powerpoints were a huge help, and really talked to make sure you understood the topic. Readings were interesting...High recommend Professor Majewski! Tests/papers easy to understand. (P.S...I got an A-!) :-D

Great lecturer. Speaks very clearly, goes slow, and has great powerpoints which he also posts online. I hate history and I enjoyed this class.

Incredibly straight forward and organized lecturer. He leaves no room for confusion and he definetly gets his point accross

Very clear and organized. No midterm, 2 papers, final with essay questions in advance. His prompts are very hard, require lots of preparation. Left feeling I had learned a lot.

Probably the most clear, concise, organized history prof ever. The readings are so few and easy for a history class. Besides, he looks like Greg Kinnear!

awesome intro class for any freshman or anyone. he is such a great lecturer. clear, concise, organized. weekly homework on readings...not hard at all. two papers about 6 pg and then a final exam is an essay given in advance. content was interesting and he is a pleasure to listen to.

Had him first quarter of freshman...Most impressed by him. He's organized, well written out lectures and you can do fairly well if you work at it. Definitely a great Prof.

great teacher

One of the most balanced professors I've had. His lectures are clear, organized, and informative. He does research, but he clearly values his teaching! He also has a great sense of humor and is very helpful and supportive if you see him in his office hours. And if you plan to take 4B, he's the one!

Great professor ... one of the best. His lectures were logical and easy to understand. I got a B+, which is mainly the TAs grade given to me. Make sure you know how your TA grades, since (s)he can screw you over!

Majewski is a fantastic teacher. His lessons are, gasp, well planned, well lectured, and his tests are fair. He gives you primary readings and lectures that give enough sides to the a story that you start to see why History is, gasp again, intertesing.
