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!
