I took his "History of Africa" class and it was HORRIBLE. I am warning you people... DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I don't know how his other classes are but this class was dreadful. It was NOT interesting, exciting, educational, or anything else remotely pleasant! He is a nice guy but his lectures are extremely dry and confusing. There is a LOT of memorization and the midterm and final were pretty hard (3 essays each). My T.A. was a nice guy too but he sucked. EVERYTHING about this class was painful. I didn't even think it was that easy of G.E. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS.

Professor ehret has been the worst professor I have taken so far in my three years of college. Although he seems very nice, his lecture presentations are very dull and uninteresting. He makes use of powerpoint presentations in class that he reads word for word! He covers a lot of material that when it's already time for the midterm or final, he just says pick a theme. I think everyone in the class felt very overwhelmed because of all the material that we needed to review for the exams. I went to his office hours, thinking that he would at least shed some light, but he ended up confusing me even more. I got a B+ in the end, inspite of all the hard work, which ruined my gpa, as well as my interest in Africa. I do not recommend anyone to take this professor at all!
