HIUS 2051

Gallagher has an incredible command of material and develivery. Very entertaining- A lot learned.

Best professor the University has ever had. It is an honor just to listen to his lectures. He is a gentleman and a scholar who is approachable. Great class for military understanding and take-home test!!

He is an amazing lecturer, even if you aren't interested in military history take the course the reading is manageable and it is a really interesting class.

Best class I have taken at UVA. Interesting material, engaging lectures and the knowledge of the professor make this a very worthwhile course. I definitely recommend it to anyone of any major.

This was a great class, every lecture was interesting and Gallagher is incredibly entertaining. Not an easy A, but still worth taking the class. Also, Jon Grinspan was a great TA, I definitely recommend getting him as your TA

EVERYONE should try to get into this class. It was great in every way. Though definitely difficult, it was, by far, the best history class I have ever taken. Professor Gallagher was really amazing in presenting the information in such an entertaining and understandable way. You'll never regret taking this class, regardless of the 150 (max) pages of reading a week.

The only grades in this class are participation in discussion and two take home essay exams. You get a week to answer the question. Only complaint is grading can be skewed heavily by the TA that you get. Don't take a section with Rhonda Barlow if you can help it.

Awesome class. Discussion is important so do your reading

Gallagher is the most enthusiastic and fun professor ive ever had! He lets you ask any question you want for the first couple minutes of class, so get him on a sports tangent and hell take up half the lecture. Lectures are interesting, but your grade depends entirely on the reading, TA discussion, and your papers so make sure you get a good TA and at least skim the chapters before discussion

Gallagher is the man. His class is very interesting. It moves very quickly. Multiple pages of notes per lecture. Fair amount of reading that reinforces lecture. The tests are in the form of take-home 12 page papers, which sound worse than they really are b/c you will have so much material/knowledge to write them with. Also, Gallagher uses the first 10 minutes of class for questions and will often go into hilarious tangents, so definitely ask off-topic questions
