I took this class as a freshman. I'm now a junior and it remains one of two B's that I've received in college thus far. For an introductory class, I think the amount of notes we took far exceeded how many notes should be included in an introductory level history course. Classes consisted of Dr. Hardin lecturing and spitting facts at us, expecting us to jot down every detail that came out of his mouth, as we'd be liable to know anything said in class on the tests. Classes were exhausting, and I felt like a typewriter, writing what he said verbatim into a notebook with all of our key terms for the semester. His lectures were well organized and followed a list of key terms for the semester, but his tests were very hard. I approached him about raising my grade at the end of the semester; I had a high B and wanted an A, as I was accustomed to being a 4.0 student through high school. Hardin told me the only way to get an A at the point I was at, was to get over a perfect score on the final, an almost impossible task. He was unwilling to bump my score up, and I think I ended the course with around an 89, despite almost perfect marks on my writing assignments. If you're a good test taker, you might do alright. If not, avoid this course.
