If you keep up with the readings you should get an A. He knows a lot but sometimes struggles in conveying it to his class. He gives you test questions before hand.

Pros: Andrew is a charmer, lectures are mostly interesting, weights tests in favor of higher grades, GIVES ESSAY QUESTIONS IN CLASS
Cons: heavy reading, lots of notes, he makes you read his book on Andrew Jackson
I didn't mind this class at all. I actually enjoyed the majority of it. Worst part is reading his book on Andrew Jackson. Go to class, do the reading, follow the essay questions.

Pros: He knew what he was talking about.
Cons: It was difficult to pay attention in class.
He gave three exams that were all essay. Each exam had three essays. Before the test, he would give a sheet of paper with six possible essay questions and then he would choose three.
