HILTON S (HIST)

Hilton is great, interesting, informative lectures, willing to work with you outside of class etc. etc. One of my favorite history professors at LSU. However, be warned, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get an A in this class. You can read all the books, go to every class, and take perfect notes, but the TA, Buzz, absolutely will not give a grade higher than an 88. So, take the class, unless you want to make an A, in which case, look elsewhere.

I love history (especially American) and I HATED this class. Hilton is absolutely horrible. He grades essays ridiculously hard. Our first test had only 4 A's and 18 B's out of a class of about 200. I was glad I came out of this class with a B. Also the way he talks about politics is extremely aggravating. Oh and he takes roll everyday but then does nothing with it in the end. No reason to attend class.

This guy failed me on my last semester. You don't learn anything new because everything he says is listed in Lyons' book : A Short History of WWII. The worst instructor I've ever had in my four and a half years at LSU.

This guy is super boring. He lets his ta grade tests which consists of two essay questions. This makes it impossible to get an A because she always finds some little detail that you left out. Seriously 3 out of almost 200 people got an a.

ONLY C in college, he is TERRIBLE, and doesnt curve like he promises. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

I have never made a D before in my life. He was a total nightmare. There were about 200 people in my class and he announced after the 1st test that 3 made A's. Says he curves but doesn't make a difference!

I love history. I HATE Hilton. This was the first history class at LSU I've actually dreaded going to. Hilton wastes the ENTIRE semester justifying his beliefs about Vietnam War. I had an A in the class, but I was one of 5 out of 150 students.

TA's grade harsh. Only 2 Exams comprising of one essay & a Final. Usually hints what the essays will be the day before. Use LOTS of detail & memorize the possible essays the night before the test. READ THE BOOK! he gives no visual notes or outlines.

Hilton is such a bore! I could hardly stay awake in class! Jumps around in his lecture so it's very hard to understand what he wants you to know! Class is cross enrolled with MILS but there is absolutely NO history involved - ONLY military science!

WWII History is interesting but DO NOT take this class if you think it will be a piece of cake and learn about the Holocaust... WWII was much more than that! You will basically be learning more in military strategy..Hilton is nice and funny!!!

Hilton can come off arrogant, but is actually a really interesting a good teacher for history; don't ever come late!

Hilton likes to talk on and on about everything at one time. Confusing to follow at times. Grader was SO harsh! Not an easy class at all!

Hilton was awesome, but the TA was too tough on grading. Hilton was more than willing to compensate for this, however, resulting in many disappointed students eventually becoming happy with the end results.

Great class, Hilton gives great lectures and keeps it interesting (and humorous!). His TA was not as high of a quality as I've expected.

Hilton was a great teacher and I really enjoyed the class...but the TA was a horrible grader. I got a b in the class, one of three b's I've gotten in all my college courses. Short answer questions are really mini essays; grades way too intensely.

Stan is a fantastic teacher - perhaps one of the best I've ever had - very likable and very smart. Be prepared for study for long essay tests. He's very objective when it comes to history and presents the facts. Take Hilton!

Tests are all essay, class is boring!

he is very passionate about the material taught in the course, it really helps

HORRIBLE professor. He promises to curve everyone's grade a letter grade at the end of the semester and FAILED to do so. He has too much on his plate at once and doesn't care about teaching this class. If you have him GET OUT NOW!!

He's very interesting, but his tests are pretty hard. They get easier as the semester finishes out though.

Awesome class!! I learned lots in this class... one of my fav classes so far. I love Dr. Hilton! I've had him for 3 semesters and I can't say enough good things about him. He's a great lecturer!!

By far the best class I've taken in college. Doc Hilton is awesome!! He loves WWII and it shows in his lectures. Very Very interesting class!!

Hilton is the best teacher I've had at LSU. He does go off on tangents during his lectures at times but it makes the class intereting. He's really nice and willing to help students in anyway he can. And, the TA Buzz does not grade hard at all.

Hilton is a great teacher, his tests are very tricky though so make sure you study the content in and out. The books are a breeze and the questions about them are extremely straightforward.

I was sick for much of the first 1/2 of the semester and Hilton was very caring and helped me in catching up and getting credit. So far as lectures and the class go, take him only if you like US history (I do.) Grad assistants seemed a little slow.

This was the best history class I have ever taken! Dr. Hilton is a great teacher and really funny too. The content was very interesting! People fight to get in this class every semester - now I see why! Great Class!!

Hilton does not use a fair grading system and is unclear in what to study for exams.

History is my best subject, but I made a C. Why? Because Hilton's class is not a straightforward objective class like History should be. You never know exactly what to study, and what you do study and know well twisted on the tests.Don't take him

Probably the best teacher i have had at LSU

Stan Hilton was one of my most favorite teachers I've ever had, he's funny and is really willing to help. He also talks about interesting things not just whats in the book

This class is really interesting and Hilton makes it even better.. Tues/Thurs classes are really long for a history lecture, though. 3 exams/final..

AWESOME class, Hilton is a tough one though on grading though- very meticulous, so remember stuff to the exact dates!!

Doc Hilton is probably the best teacher I've ever had...very interesting and witty man; not much outside time required but you really should go to class; grading is somewhat unfair, but the averaging system works out in the end

Dr. Hilton is great... his lectures are interesting... he gives the essay questions for each exam and tells you exactly what he wants on them... it takes a lot of work but anyone can do good in this class... very interesting man

Do NOT take this man...he is boring, he talks too low, jumps around from era to era...Buzz, his TA, gives low grades as if his life depended on it. If you want to have a miserable time with Hist and fail beautifully, go for Hilton...take OUTLAND!

I enjoyed listening to him lecture but he was really unfair on exams! I read everything and studied everything and still did poorly.

I thought the way the grader graded the tests was very unfair. if you missed one little thing he took off like 20 points.

He said 'read the book or pass with a 'C' at best. i read the book, and made 2 c's. test 3 I did not open the book and got a 99%. Do not read the book or take notes on his many tangents. write what he writes on the board and get to know the TA.

The exmas were graded entirely too hard and it seems neither hilton nor his sidekick buzz who grades them cares to help.

I like Dr. Hilton but his T.A. Buzz Leblanc grades exams extremely hard and is inconsiderate and unfair!!

Hilton grows on you. His stories become more interesting more into the semester.

I feel that he expects more of the students than he takes the time to teach. I had a hard time taking notes because he spoke too quietly and gave too much information that he'd later say was irrelevant.
