Comment:
Professor Schweizer had some of the most informative and interesting lectures of any classes I've taken. The man can tell stories and dive into history like no other professor I've had. Highly respect his energy and the laid back listen and take notes environment of the class. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in war history.

Comment:
He's a brilliant man but a terrible lecturer. He bounces around from topics most are unrelated to the class so you end up leaving with class confused. He would be a great mentor but lecturing in not his strongest area at all. This course is only difficult because you have no idea what are valuable notes and what is him rambling about nothingness

Took him 6 years ago, I thought I left a review of him but guess not and here it is. Got an A, if you're a World War 2 enthusiast like me, you will really love the course. Born right after WW2 ended, Herr Schweizer will teach you details about the war wouldn't learn from history channel or other sources. If you know any German even better.

horrible teacher forgets he is a history teacher and starts grading people of there English. In class gets side tracked easily, and when lectures talks rapidly spitting out information with out power points or writning on the board hard to take down all info.

Comment:
He is a nice professor and he is very knowledgeable. But he goes off-topic very often and he wants us to have 3 different books and write 2 papers, one five pages long, the other 12 pages long. It is hard to know what he wants on the paper.

Regretted for taking his class. There are many other nice professors teaching HSS-404 courses, but not this guy. Wasted money, learnt nothing, and ruined GPA from 3.8 down to 3.6 because of his class. The worst prof. of NJIT

Dr. Schweizer is hands down one of the smartest guys i have ever met in my life. The man will unload a shotgun blast of information to you every class and he gets off topic and likes to rant about life, personal character and technology but its amazing! do well on the little assignments given. always come to class and you'll do fine. TRUE GENIUS

His word makes non sense, and he's usually off topic. A book review, midterm and research paper (15-20) are required. He likes fancy writing style. Didn't learn anything from this class. Waste of money

I took this class because the folk in the internet said he's easy professor, and I regreted so much. If you are not a good writer, or don't communicate good with him, his classes are not for you.

You have to write a book review at least 6 pages, midterm exam, research paper( 15-20 pages).He likes fancy style and big words.If you're ESL background, definitely stay way from his classes. Otherwise you'll be looked down.His classes are basically about political science, war misperception, conflict resolutions.Never respond to your email.

Class consists of a midterm (20%), book review (20%), 15 page research paper (30%), & a final (30%). At the end of the semester if you have good attendance & show improvement he will drop either the midterm or the book review. Overall a good prof tends to go off topic tho ... Has some interesting stories to share aswell, class is not a joke tho ...

Do not take him unless you are a history major and would like to write a 20pages research paper and a book review... I ended up with a B+ but it was way too much work for someone who is not as passionate as the professor about war.

By far one of the worst professors I have ever had. He is a very interesting guy that you could learn a lot from, but he does not practice what he preaches. His word means nothing. I did all the work on time, but he left after the semester, forgetting to give me a grade. All my hard work for nothing. He caused a lot of problems for me.

He is an interesting professor, very intelligent, very knowledgeable. I had him for two classes and for both classes he took a fun yet educational approach. I learned alot from him. Do the readings, go to class, and write good paper and you should be able to receive a good grade.

Comment:
(Section 002: history of Nazi Germany) Conducts his class more like a seminar than a lecture: he sits at the front of the room, talks about Germany-related topics for a while, then maybe pops in a video. Only two assignments. Kind of a fluff class, but definitely recommended if you don't want to get overwhelmed by a capstone course.
