The best man I have ever known. Dr. Lorenz was my favorite professor in undergrad. Remarkably bright, but driven with a purpose. I am a better person having known him.

PAF with Lorenz was a pretty good time. You read 4 books. While I didn't finish any of them, I still did decently well when it came to writing the essays. This class is mostly discussion based and the class size was nice too.

You are expected to read almost 50 pages per night. Pretty much no one in class read though because the next day the reading was in his powerpoint lecture. The tests never seemed to relate to the lectures, and the final exam was something that no amount of studying could prepare you for. So long as you show up and he likes you, you will do fine.

He is such a sweetheart! Hilarious, engaging, and assignments are meaningful and help learning. Truly cares about his students and makes sure they know all of the opportunities available to them at Alma. My favorite professor so far!

Dr. Lorenz is the most interesting professor at Alma so far. He is very engaging and helpful. He does tend to wander during his lectures, but he is one of the smartest people I have ever met. I will definitely be taking more of his classes.

He is honestly a hard working great guy. I am by no means a History person adn that showed in his class. I feel that he is to smart to be teaching a 100 level class. He is unable to dumb things down for the students who aren't History majors. Be sure to read for his class and you will be fine. He's hard, but a great guy.

Good man, good teacher. Dr. Lorenz is helpful, kind, and always entertaining with a subtle wit in class. I credit his courses on govt and policymaking with helping me advance in my career in public service.

I have Dr. Lorenz for many classes and will have him at least once a semester for the rest of my experience at Alma. I find him to be a very helpful and caring teacher but he also has a busy schedule so finding him after class may be difficult.

Comment:
Quite possibly the most pointless class ever! You can get by not doing the reading or even going to class as long as you do the three papers and show up to the forum... I actually went to class and still have no idea what I was meant to be learning. He gets off topic very easily and generally seems to have no idea what's going on.

Interesting, but I swear he has ADD. Also, it is extremely helpful to get your hands on old tests! They're virtually the same.

Dr. Lorenz is amazing. I think everyone should know about how hard he works. He is devoted to his work. He puts so much time into his classes and really cares about his students. Outside the classroom, he works for social justice. I think this is a class everyone should definitly take!!

Comment:
I had him for preterm, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was him and Vickery-they don't agree on anything, not a good idea when the class is on Religion and Politics. Changed the topic of the paper with 2 days left-what if you had worked on it before? Just not a good experience
