I took a class with him and Dr. Kauffman, and the two of them together are awesome. Dr. Shichtman seems to really care about his students and he's super funny. His lectures aren't always straightforward in structure, but they're really interesting and always funny.

I love Prof. Shichtman! He's a great professor, and is very knowledgeable about the Holocaust. This class was very interesting and I enjoyed taking this class. You need go to class, take good notes from lectures, and read the assigned books in order to pass. Marty is really cool and funny (don't worry- he's only funny at the appropriate times)!

Marty is very fun. Lots of discussion in class and he's obviously very passionate about what he teaches. The class was super fun and I looked forward to going every day.

He was a good lecturer, but the course itself was terrible. He was the only reason to go to class.

Professor Shichtman is fun to listen to when he lectures, but it was a large class and he didn't help too much. It was an okay class, but a lot of reading.

Comment:
Marty was an excellent professor. His lectures were so interesting. He was always full of energy and you could tell he had a passion for the subject. You need to read about 5 short novels, which are heavily tested on, but the books are so interesting I would of read them on my leisure time! I recommend every one take this class!

Marty is a great professor he is very exuberant, yet humble. You will learn a lot in his class; he always manages to keep your attention with historical examples or personal anecdotes. Be sure to read the text he assigns, and show up for class on a regular basis and you will be fine.

I loved Marty! He is an amazing teacher! He is a very funny lad! I would recommend this to anyone! You do use the books but I didnt read them really and I am getting an A+ in that class. They always go over the material in the book somewhat so Id you dont read them, youll be ..eh.okay. As long as you attend class on a regular basis!

Marty is one of the greatest professors I've had. He makes, what would be a very dull topic, incredibly interesting. His exams are incredibly straight-forward as long as the student has read the text. Definitely take anything with Marty you can

Had a few of Marty's classes between 98 and 03. He expects quality work, but Is fair. Easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. Marty knows his**** and delivers it in an engaging (usually humorous) way. Take his classes if you have a chance... Especially "Culture and the Haulocaust" if they still offer that.

First off - Marty is a very humorous and sarcastic sun of a gun, but never would he harm a student's feelings or views. He is very engaging and his interest in the material presented before you is not just seen, but felt. He is very knowledgeable and has lots of information to offer - again, with interest and desire in his subject matter!

He is very funny, and makes the topic lighter than it normally would be. Makes it so the material its understood.

Excellent, humorous, down-to-earth professor. I never bought the book, but he does go over everything thoroughly in class (if you choose to go). I would highly recommend him. As previously said, his GA's do all of the grading and they tend to be VERY tight. I did much better in the more advanced LITR courses.. go figure.

Marty has a lot of fun teaching and you can tell this from going to lecture. His class is easy- even if you don't go to lecture- but if you go to class then you will never have to study. He always has grad students that do all of his dirty work though so your grades on your papers come from them.

Marty is great. I always looked forward to going to his class. He is one of a rare breed of professors: funny and cool, but also extremely knowledgeable. I was laughing and having fun in the class, but learning a lot at the same time. That doesn't happen often. His tests are pretty easy if you do just a little bit of studying.

Comment:
I took Marty for Jewish-American Lit. The class was fun and Marty is a great, laid back professor. He doesn't follow the syllabus very strictly, so class attendance is fairly important, but not strictly important. His exams are all multiple choice, so as long as you attend class and read the material you'll be fine.
