Great class. Great professor. Very cool.
Paul Baltimore is very cool. One of the better experiences I've had at UCSB. He's not interested in making you look bad or in stroking his own ego. He just wants to help you understand this important period and aspect of US History. Do the readings, take notes, get an A. Simple. Highly Recommended!
Baltimore is the man! He has great lectures that are interesting and hilarious. He also is great at encouraging class participation, and making the time enjoyable for students. I don't think there was a single day where more than three people didn't show up. If you have an opportunity, take a class with him.
