Christopher Hanson JOUR283 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/19/2024	Class is pretty disorganized, most of your grade comes from quizzes and exams. I was sitting at a B for most of the semester but he offered a ton of extra credit at the end of the semester which brought me to an A. I went to most lectures and it was pretty useless, you can review for the quizzes and exams by looking over the slides.

Christopher Hanson JOUR283 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/19/2023	This was a super interesting class if you are into different wars and the coverage of war in the media. Chris Hanson is a sweet professor who is super knowledgeable about the subject. Overall this class is composed of almost entirely multiple-choice exams with very little writing, however, these quizzes and exams make up the the entirety of your grade. He did provide extra credit assignments at the end of the semester for those who needed it and worked with students to try and help them achieve a good grade. His exams can be quite confusing at times and you have to attend class because he will test you on things he discusses in lecture. Overall an interesting class, but you will spend some time completing readings and will have to pay attention is lecture.

The class was very interesting and focused on both history and journalism principles in the context of war. There were only a few readings for homework and the class wasn’t very time consuming. The only assignments were 4 quizzes, a midterm, and the final exam. The quizzes and tests weren't too difficult, as long as you spend some time to study for them. I would recommend taking this class if you need a humanities credit or are simply interested in the subject.

All closed note quizes that are somewhat common sense if you look over powerpoints the night before. Assigned us readings but I never did a single one. Stopped going to class three weeks in and just looked at sylabus for quiz dates. Classes that I went to ended early. Overall, cool dude who even gave extra credit at the end.
Christopher Hanson JOUR283 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/18/2023	Professor Hanson is very knowledgable in his area of teaching and often gave personal stories from both his time as a reporter and his families' experiences while fighting in the wars covered. He's quite unorganized with the ELMS page and can take quite a long time to grade but the class is interesting. If you go to the classes and look at the powerpoints it's pretty easy to get a good grade. He values participation in classes and started taking attendance towards the end of the semester even though he said he wouldn't so I'd recommend actually going to his classes if you take it.
Christopher Hanson JOUR283 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/20/2022	Great Professor with tons of experience surrounding the topics of journalism, war, and politics. The class was very laid back and was spent conducting discussions and going over very interesting topics. The powerpoints that Professor Hanson presented contained very insightful videos and explanations of historic events. The class consistently ended early and rarely required take home readings. There are only a few quizzes all semester that are open note and he will go over any questions you have surrounding the quiz. Professor Hanson has a genuine passion for the content he's teaching and makes the class easy so long as you participate. I highly encourage anyone with an interest in this topic to take this class.
