Forget about reading his asinine lectures. They are in every color and every font. If you try to print them you'll go broke. He emails a lot whining about his health, yet if a student has an issue, too bad. Annoying. Pedantic. He expects you to cite his silly lectures over the textbook, even though he's not published. Horrible class. Don't do it.HIST2205 2019-12-17 16:19:11 +0000 UTC
Professor Wolf assigns insurmountable amounts of reading. He is very condescending and childish. His lectures look like rainbows. You will regret taking one of his courses, don't do it!HST1202 2016-08-19 15:36:53 +0000 UTC
I took his "Coming to America" online class and I found it to be very intellectually stimulating. He does expect that students put in the same amount of interest and effort that he puts into the discussions and lectures. He is not condescending at all! In fact,he will go the "extra mile" to help! And he loves to teach! A very rare gem!HISTCPS 2012-04-04 12:22:33 +0000 UTC
This professor was great! He was very understanding and willing to accommodate for personal events that sometimes get in the way of being able to do work. He communicates quickly and promptly via email. The lectures were often a little confusing to read through, but always really thorough.HST2205 2011-01-31 00:18:42 +0000 UTC
Doug Wolf was the best history teacher I ever had! I took "Coming to America: The American Immigrant Experience" and I loved it. He has full knowledge in this area. He engaged us in our ancestry as well as in our childhood to help us understand the information fully. I wish I could have had more of it.HIST4559 2007-09-14 16:02:17 +0000 UTC
Awesome professor, one of the best history profs in the school. Very unconventional, no boring texts, just great books like "Coming to America" and "A larger memory". Doug is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and creative. I wish he taught every history course!HST4559 2007-06-04 13:59:26 +0000 UTC
This instructor doesn't allow for late work - even if you're sick. He's condescending when you communicate with him, and is almost never available when you need him. His lectures are cluttered with confusing information and he is quick to get angry.HIST2205 2009-11-05 16:00:34 +0000 UTC
