Dr. Lichtenstein helps his students succeed by giving clear expectations and grading criteria for essays. Very labor studies focused

Nelson is a phenomenal instructor! He is passionate about the material and has many stories of his own experiences. He was very accommodating with the return to in-person and posted lecture recordings. Grade based on two papers, 1 final paper, and a quiz. Write thoughtfully and you'll succeed. Also, he enjoys chatting in office hours!

Nelson rocks! He is very knowledgeable, easy going, and a good lecture. He can ramble a bit but it's usually when he's sharing his own experiences that occurred during the events we're learning. Very straight forward. No surprises. Two in class multiple choice quizzes. 7-8 page research paper. 3 page final essay. Read and follow the material easy A

an A is doable if you put in effort! essays were a bit tuff but the final was fair. lectures were a bit boring at times but overall good class and I enjoyed learning

A very approachable professor! Loved his class. Quizzes are not bad and the research paper was interesting. Never was stressing about this course which was nice. He knows his stuff when it comes to the Civil Rights movement & Labor, would for sure take him for any history class

Lichtenstein is a fantastic professor and probably the best I've had at UCSB. He is highly respected in the academic community for labor studies. Attendance was not mandatory, but it was refreshing when I did attend. The readings are not challenging, if you're a good writer you will do well. Also he wrote a rec for me which was very cool of him.

He's very nice and helpful during office hours, but during lecture he rambles about labor and has difficulty talking about anything else. They drag on and on, but it's also very difficult to make the Great Depression "fun", so ragging on the guy isn't really fair. Two small papers, one long paper, and one relatively cut-and-dry final.

He was a really great professor overall. Personally I think his lectures can be interesting and he shows a lot of passion, it's more like a one sided conversation cuz he can go on interesting tangents. There are three papers but two of them are really short. He's a really nice and knowledgeable guy. He pretty much doesn't use gauchospace at all

He's definitely knowledgeable about labor and capital during the Great Depression, but he's prone to rambling during lectures. It feels like his comments on the powerpoint slides go through one ear and out the other. He's passionate but it's hard to pay attention in class a lot of the time. Really nice guy overall and always helpful office hours.

Easy class. It's only 2 essays and a final, but the only down side is lectures draaaaaaag on

Easy class, 3 papers. The books required are very cheap, some are just a few dollars. He truly cares for his student, always willing to help whenever you need. He passionate, funny, and easy going. Over all, a great class. Take him!

Only 3 papers for your entire grade and he was a relatively easy grader, but unless you're CRAZY interested for labor in the 19th century, the lectures are reeeeaaaaallyyy booooorrrinnggg
