Comment:
Dr. Horn makes attending lectures exciting. I took his world war 2: global history class in fall 2019 and it was by far the best class I've ever taken at McMaster. He wielded the narrative of the history beautifully and in a very exciting/engaging way. The essays were tough, but fun to write and worth the effort put in. Lectures are a must-go !

Comment:
Dr. Horn is the most incredible lecturer I've ever experienced. However, this class is one of the nine circles of hell. While the lectures are captivating and near-perfect, the grading on the (2) essays is cut-throat and each is worth 30%. I was in the A-range on the first one, and soon dropped to a C after the second. A perfectionist's nightmare.

Professor Horn is a very good professor. I found his lectures really enjoyable, which is good because if you want to pass the class you really should attend. However, they are really well structured and include the right balance of important/interesting info. Overall really good class if you attend lectures.

This is the guy you think of when you first thought of a university professor; arrogant, loud mouthed, cuts you off constantly, and has impossibly high essay standards. But man was he great.

Comment:
Dr. Horn has great lectures, which he is definitely known for. He's so knowledgeable and that definitely shows in class. He's a very tough grader. My issue with Dr. Horn was that he was very unapproachable. I am a student with a disability and he seemed very annoyed to accommodate and was doing so bc Mac forces profs to. I didn't feel respected.

Comment:
Good storyteller, but you can't expect less from a prof who teaches the same thing every year. Does minimal work as a lecturer. Very unapproachable outside of class and doesn't provide lecture notes. Automatically gives out zeroes without reading 12 page essays by referring to ambiguous citation rules that he does not care to elaborate on.

Fantastic lecturer who made War in the West one of the most interesting, informative courses I have taken. Each class was like he was telling a story. Very charismatic.

Comment:
Dr. Horn is extremely knowledgeable in history and is a good teacher, but this has made him very arrogant. He regularly insults the class without appearing to notice it. His lectures are good, but they are very fast paced so it is best to use a laptop to take notes in his class. He is also a hard marker and his handwriting is incomprehensible.

Excellent lecturer, old-school style and doesn't try getting students involved (will answer questions, but leaves discussions for tutorial.) Take thorough notes, attend class, and you'll succeed. Not an easy marks class, but marks are fair and supported. Very approachable during office hours.

Comment:
Dr Horn is a great lecturer, and a very talented orator. He is very passionate about what he teaches, and imparts his knowledge and his perspective in his field while in lecture. He doesn't use avenue to learn, so lectures are mandatory. Great course, high marks in this course are hard to attain due to his standards. Still learned a lot

Dr. Horn is one of the best professors at McMaster. Attendance is mandatory if you want to do remotely well but by the end of the course you will walk away with a so much amazing knowledge about the topic.
