Comment:
One of the best professors I've had in my life. I just looked him up 35 years after being in his class. He was incredibly radical, and I'm guessing that many of his students were too shallow and apolitical to even notice how incredibly interesting his classes COULD be ... if students were not clueless.

Comment:
This class is easy. He gives you take home tests which he uses the same questions on monthly in class tests. There is a lot of report writing but only summaries of websites, usually just 1 page double spaced. A little bit of work but you can pass with an A if you study take home tests.

Comment:
It's hard to understand his lectures. He values his lectures. He might as well try to rewrite the history books. He has lectures different from the text. Than both are than on the test. He has so many tests, both take home and in-class. At times, he'll overlook the text in favor of lecturing his point of view. Which is harder to study than the facts, because he's passionate about it.

Very hard to understand. He takes pleasure in failing his students. Small man maybe compensating for something... Do not take his class. First day he stated that very few people will pass. He said this with a smile.

Comment:
Strange format for teaching. 4 take-home tests due every six weeks or so, if you get more than 12 correct u get 10 pts, less than 12 you get 0. In class tests given same day you hand in take home tests, so you don't know if study material is correct or not. This class can be easy as long as you stay on top of reading. 2/3 dropped by semester end.

Very easy tests as long as you study the materials; also give take home tests and have to do research papers but they are all easy as long as you do exactly what he wanted. Very nice and easy going.Response very promptly thru emails if you have questions. recommend taking this prof. grades very fairly.

Very knowledgable and with a dry sense of humor. He presents his lessons in a way wich makes it very easy to take notes and to keep up. lots of homework, but its all relevant and usefull.
