Comment:
Professor Himmelberg is the worst professor I've had at Fordham. His syllabus has nothing to do with the class, which is pretty much just played by ear. His tests are extremely and unnecessarily difficult. You will be tested on subjects that he NEVER brought up in class. whatever you do, AVOID HIMMELBERG

Professor Himmelberg was only there for half a semester. Had to have a surgery. He was hard to understand and said he had to have a C+ average. Tough class.

Comment:
Took him for my senior history seminar. The class was a little disorganized, but himmelberg is very knowledgeable especially business and economic history. He's conservative but absolutely presents a fair viewpoint, and its interesting to see what an educated conservative thinks. If you can, take him for the New Deal. He's a veritable master there.

Comment:
He's a great professor; you'll appreciate him more if you are a history major, but Himmelberg is fantastic either way. People have said he's too vocally conservative, which made me uneasy going into his class. But he gives credit where credit is due and by no means preaches history from a partisan perspective.

I don't really know if the class was hard or not. I slept EVERYDAY. Both his class and the seats are conducive to sleep so its not bad in that sense. Try to find someone in the class to sign your name on the roll, that way you dont even have to bother.

So cute and old. The dude knows his info. He doesnt even look at his notes and he knows all the dates off the top of his head. Not too much work. Large Lecture style class. Cutest man! Make sure you study and know how to write a paper and you'll do fine

HE IS A REPUBLICAN AND MAKES SURE THAT ALL OF HIS STUDENTS KNOW IT. His classes were continuously boring. In addition, his tests require a lot of memorization and he is very strict with attendance.

Take this class if you want to be sedated to sleep. It is EXTREAMLY boring, his last midterm was 8pgs long, and you will have over 20pgs of notes. This has got to be by far the most uninteresting and dullest class i eva took in my entire life.

Old and cute. TAKE NOTES! The book won't help; tests are notes-based. Will give you points for things blatantly wrong. Reeeeeally wants you to visit during office hours. If you don't like to go to class, don't take.

Great teacher - maybe a little boring at times, but definately an intelligent man that knows his material backwards and forwards. I recommend taking one of his classes!

A Nice guy, not too much work, but the class is extremely boring and impossible to pay attention in. Plus all of his tests are based on the lectures which makes taking notes or finding someone who does necessary. Not an enjoyable class.

He can be boring and not to mention that his quiz is four-five pgs long w/ only 30mins to do the entire quiz,all infor on quiz is from the lectures he gives. So DO NOT go to sleep if u get him. Always there to help you.

Comment:
Dr. Himmelberg may seem at first to be the oldschool type of professor who only lectures, however, if you enjoy history, pay attention in class, and take him up on his offers for out of class help, you'll see that he is a great, smart teacher!
