History of Western Civilization to 800 AD (Fall 2001):

“It was a clear overview of the time period and went at a very good pace.  The class was very well taught.”

“The Professor was wonderfully interesting.  Text was great.  Worth it to get up at 9 am.”

“The material covered was interesting and the instructor was well organized all the time.  The slides were extremely helpful and the book selected was user friendly.  Dr. Cline was one of the best instructors I've taken on campus.  He was also very funny.”

“Cline is a great speaker — very clear/captivating — and the visuals (slides!) really supplemented the lectures/book well.”

“I feel like I have a good grasp of the material.  Even though it covers such a huge amount of material, I feel like I learned the important points well and expect to retain a lot.”

“The class is perfect; do not change a thing.  Only let Dr. Cline teach this class.”

“I liked the fact that Dr. Cline used various methods of teaching and gave us interesting facts and info.  He was really good and a great instructor.  He knew a lot about the material — just about everything.”
