Comment:

I failed Map of Modern World x 3. As a geographically challenged lefty with map orientation problems and some ADD... my Dean let me substitute one of Pirtle's full credit courses my senior year. This class BLEW MY MIND! It opened my mind to a world of theory I never knew existed and forever changed my global perspective. The class is a GEM!

Comment:

Yes Pirtle is mean BUT you will learn quite a lot if you apply yourself. Don't be late to class, don't eat in class, don't touch your phone in class, and don't disagree with him and you'll do fine. He teaches Map of the Modern World rather well.

This guy is a total jerk. Regularly insults students and thinks he is better than everyone. Also, just because we did not live in depression era Kentucky does not make us bad people

Incredible guy, amazing lectures, it's a shame he is retiring and that future generations of SFSers won't get to have the Charles Pirtle experience. Being in his class made my time at Georgetown better.

Comment:

pirtle is a sword of truth, a person of profound knowledge and insight in a field that too often lends itself to empirically invalid theory. his class is fantastic, and although i will surely fail, at least when i come out i will know something.

Comment:

If you don't love Pirtle, you don't belong in SFS. If you're late, don't go to class. Listen to the stories, and love them. Such memorable quotes as, "If you don't have a navy, then your ability to project power is only as great as your tallest man.&

Pirtle is a God. He says he's dying every year. Seriously, just suck it up and work hard in this class, because it is well worth it with how much you learn

His attitude will ****you off at first, but you'll get over that when he starts to lecture. Amazing. The book is worthless, don't buy it.
