Comment:
I liked history until I took a class from him, he grades poorly, lectures are dry and boring, and his assignments are pointless. He accused me of plagarism on a paper at the end of the semseter that I had to spend the summer fighting with him about. DO NOT TAKE A CLASS FROM HIM!!!

Comment:
favorite professor ever. he is amazingly experienced and one of the best teachers you will ever have. tests are a little on the hard side but if you study hard before hand you will do well. if you work hard, he notices and will help you whenever you have a problem. sorry everyone he retires this semester..

Comment:
He is VERY VERY hard! He knows the material but he grades all tests extremely hard and essays hard too. His lectures are confusing because he puts tons of material on each slide, it seems like he puts an entire page from a textbook on the slide. he is a very nice guy and knows what hes teaching he is just too hard for a 100 level class!

Great teacher. If you go in during office hours he is extremely helpful and he likes to get to know you. Have the TA edit your paper because he grades tough. Stay on track and you will do well. He is straight forward and doesn't like to waste time. Nice guy.

Not an easy class as I thought, yet you could pull an A if come to the class and focus. The only problem with the class is the 10 pages semester paper.

Nice teacher. Expects a lot out of you. Don't expect to slack off or you will fail. Likes to pick on anyone not focusing or even quietly working on another subject. Attendance is not mandatory but highly encouraged. Nice guy, but sometimes the grading scheme will get you irate.

On papers that you have to write for his class, he will grade you on various items that are not listed on the instructions. Even though it is not writte down anywhere, is it required for him to have citations inside the essay, if you don't do that, and just have a bibliography, he will give you a 0 for plagerizing.

Comment:
Very articulate, intelligent professor. Grades tests himself, and although they take some time, they're graded well and you can be assured that if you know what you're talking about, you'll do well, and if you don't, you won't. Good grammar is extremely important on papers and tests. Do not BS in this class. Helpful and friendly outside of class.

Took his Middle Eastern History class, completely enjoyed it. Good lecturer, good powerpoints, although you need to write more than he puts on them to have them help w/ studying. Had discussions in class, were interesting. Knows his stuff, but can come off pompus to some. Not a lot of reading and papers and exams werent to bad

He likes to call on people, esp. if you aren't paying attention. Knows what he's talking about, has random class assignments (go to class!), but gives you all the info and study guides you need for quizes and exams. Have to write 2 papers. Speak up, volunteer answers. Overall liked his class.
