Loved this professor! Very interesting lectures and very easy to follow because of his lecture outlines. Interesting subject matter and he seemed to be extremely interested in all of the areas covered. Great essay topics and very helpful!

Evaluation should have been more evenly distributed over all sections of the course. Overall, it was an EXTREMELY interesting class. Professor can be slightly monotone but you grow to like him and the material is fascinating. Would def. take another course with him.

Comment:
Very clear and organzied professor..his expectations are clearly outlined so its not hard to do well if you put in some effort and do the readings. I just didnt like how the last section of hist 1010 with him on the Arab Israeli War was very rushed. It seemed interesting but was pointless since we werent being evaluated AT ALL on it.

Comment:
Very good professor. Explained readings through lecture, and did so in a way which was very understandible. Almost every lecture he'd make funny sarcastic remarks about what he was talking about, & sometimes he tells stories. Assignments weren't that bad either & he was very clear and approachable (in my opinion).Overall, he was a great professor.

Love him! He has these little sarcastic and ironic moments, very entertaining. And lectures are only an hour, not brutal at all.

He knows his stuff, but his voice is very flat. The readings were brutally boring and really put me off going to his lectures

Prof Wakabayashi is a great professor! Clearly he knows his stuff. He presents his argument clearly, from point to point, so you can easily follow. You have to do the readings though. Otherwise, you won't know which points are important. From personal experience, I also know that he's very helpful and goes out of his way to make things easy for us.

Comment:
amazing professor for those who love to learn and can get his dry humour. Every lecture is an extremely well structured thesis in itself. Also he challenges alot of paradigms. However you have to pay attention as his lecturing style will not wake you up. If you like the topic you will love this class if you find history boring this will be boring

I've only had him for 2 months so far (because York went on strike mid-term) but I like him. He obviously knows his stuff, and his lectures are really easy to follow. There's a lot of information to remember though!

Very intelligent man, when he lectures you are able to take very detailed notes, but getting higher then a C+ is impossible, he is a very hard marker. The readings are difficult to understand although he exaplains them well they are not good enough explainations when it comes to writing essays.

Enjoys lecturing w/o stopping for full 2 hours, Hi Princeton education will get you to work. Tough but fair market, can be rigid at times, yet experiene w/ him as prof is necessary for uni. Try not to get sick in his class - notes mean little.

Great Professor, unique lectures. Doesn't believe in breaks so that students can get their money's worth. Each class has a wealth of information, alot of work but if your interested in the subject it shouldnt be a problem.I miss his class.

a great prof. Gives strong lectures and manages to sneak in his own subtle humor to make the experience all the more enjoyable. It was a joy to attend his lectures.

Comment:
During lectures he often talks down to the class and makes them feel stupid. He often made generalizations to the point of being misleading. He has a traditional and closed minded view of History, not willing to explore any ideas other than his own.

Knows his stuff, is very clear and organized, but he doesn't give breaks and doesn't stop talking. To summarize, good prof, but boring as hell, if you're a smoker, do NOT take his 3 hour classes.
