He made me love arch history! He's explains everything with such passion and such great detail. He makes it so interesting that I actually remember it all. You do need to take really good notes and I even recorded his lectures additional because he includes so many details, you might miss something. His study guides teach how to study, not really tell you what to study. Don't just study the study guides study it all, but the study guides do give you a good idea of what hes looking for. Locations and dates aren't super important but know the general time periods and areas and you should be fine. He does appreciate your attention and it doesn't like to see people on their phones or doing something else. Overall, he's a super nice person and so interesting, funny, and truly cares.
