Devin Pendas teaches a great class on World War II. He assigns a lot of reading so don't take him if you are a weenie.

DP is EPIC, amazing lecturer and he is very knowledgeable about everything. I had him for Europe in the world 2 and it was my favorite class. Midterms aren’t hard if you go to class.

Really good lecturer. The slides are usually just words so taking notes is easy. The things he says is just a summary of what is on the board. Exams are not difficult if you study and they only get easier. Also, just a great guy.
