A Yale man, he's pretty funny if your vocabulary is extensive. TA's make or break the class, he went to Yale, and lecture can get pretty boring. If you like poetry, take it. Did I mention he went to Yale?

Doesn't use PowerPoint for his lectures, it is just him speaking to the class for a little over an hour, but very interesting stuff and easy if you do a majority of the reading.

Wonderful professor, one of my favorites from the history department. He has a passion for European history, and even if it's not your major, he takes the material and explains it in a story-like lecture; made it easier to pay attention. Very approachable, easy readings and I look forward to taking 123B in the Fall!

Really Straightforward. Doesn't try to trick you on quizzes or exams. Willing to talk with you about anything ie. very approachable. Doesn't try to cover everything and only expects you to focus on what he focuses on. Uses the readings very little but picks interesting novels rather than dry history books.

Very ambiguous. Multiple choice tests were ridiculous. Was broad yet wanted only what he said. Paper was unfair, said he wanted something personal and analytical then complained when I tried to give him both. Boring lectures, dreaded going to class. He was nice and funny but I would never take a class with him again. Ever!

I thought he was quite interesting...he seemed very much into his subject. Cute old guy.
