At first I was inclined on ripping Urdank to shreds because his monotone voice and ridiculously boring lectures are miserable to attend. However, he is responsible for 2 A's on my transcript that I earned for not very much work. He's also a character of sorts and is indirectly really funny. I guess he's a nice guy, but you have to be prepared to do most of the work by yourself... lectures will put you to sleep. He also will spend time on the most random things and then breeze over topics like WWI and II and such events. Lots on agrarian reform though. It's an easy third class if youre looking to fill your schedule and you like British History. But don't go looking for inspiration from prof Urdank.
