Report: What was or is your History class like?

The kids did complain that we had a devilishly lazy history teacher from MS. 

We looked up like 50 or 100 words to remember for a test like every week and 3/4. We look up the words. We don't read, outline, nor listen to lecture outside of what each word meant. We looked up definitions in class. Sounds like the Ellen DeGeneres Show. 

I didn't even have history class when I was little. 

The only history I had was grades 4-6. The teachers never handed out premade outlines or anything smart like that. We could have read the outlines and learned from lectures. I realize that's a step behind what a college expects, but this is history class, not "learn to read and think" class.
