| Additional Comments |
Prof. Bussey is a extremely likable person. But the class is the most boring class I've ever had. He lectures the whole class period, and you will not get out early. The lectures are over material that is scattered between chapters in the textbook, if it is even in it, and makes it really hard to keep up with him.
The only grades in the class is an analysis of a primary document, a book report on a biography, and 3 test. He grades the papers hard, I spent hours on both of mine and somehow still ended up and got C's on both, when I expecting at least B's on both. The test are made up of 3 essay questions (one mandatory and the other one you can choose from of 2) and 5 identifications (which you pick out of 8). He gives you the essay questions at least 2 weeks early so get a head start on them. The identification comes from words he writes on the board during lectures. Total, expect to have at least 100+ at the end of each set of notes to study for the test, and he only picks 8 of them to test you over though.
His lectures are of no help when it comes to answering the essay questions, I used the internet more than anything to answer them. For the ID, I would suggest just writing down the words he writes on the board and looking them up when you get home.
And attendance is mandatory, after two or three misses he docks you a letter grade on your final grade.
Make sure you have your laptop or cell phone one to pass the time in the class.
