LARGE amount of reading assigned for each class
class was very boring and consisted of discussing the readings we were assigned
there were 2 assignments and a 12-15 page paper that was due during finals week on a topic of your choice about the class topic
Cons: Can be rather dry
Speaks in very long-winded sentences that makes it difficult to take notes.
There is a lot of reading. Some days there are well over 100 pages of reading to do.
Cons: not always clear with what he wants, takes a very passive role in class, and the assignments require a lot of work
If you try in this class then you should do well so don't worry too much about grades, although the big 12-15 page essay is about 60%of your grade. because of this i learned a ton about my topic but i really didn't learn that much about the rest of Weimar history. Maybe this is just a personal feeling, but he has to be one of the biggest douchebags in MSU. He has this shit eating smirk on his face at all times and this way of talking that just makes me angry. I was able to do most of the readings in the hour before class, but if i missed it for one reason or another he would be sure to call on me in the middle of class or any other student that made the same mistake. basically, if you can put up with his shit then it's an ok class but i'm not going to recommend him to anyone
can do minimal work and get a decent grade
Cons: EXTREMELY boring class
power points don't help at all
have to go to class if you want any type of notes
Forner is an extremely boring professor. He lectures non-stop and expects everyone to be interested. He gives a list of terms you need to know but doesn't bother putting their definitions on the slides... you have to listen and write everything down. TONS of reading assigned for homework but you can get along without doing it. One second he can seem extremely nice and reasonable and the next he is rude and takes shots at people in the class. I'd definitely avoid this class if I could but if you're stuck in it just show up (easy attendance points) and read occasionally so you can get participation points. 2 map quizzes, 1 midterm that's not too bad and a take home final that consist of two essays
Cons: Forner does tend to mumble and talks in very longwinded sentences which makes it tough to follow his lectures sometimes. He also says umm and like a lot...i mean a lot.
Very nice prof, but he does tend to mumble, so I have to give him 4 stars. Class is made up of 2 4-5 page papers, 2 map quizes (one in class, one take home), one midterm and one final. Should be an easy 3.0.
pretty easy
interesting
Cons: lectures are boring sometimes
A LOT of reading
