Comment:

An old-school prof. Make sure you go to class and take notes. I had him for European History. Very intelligent man, but kind of eccentric. He'll tell you what to study for the exams. Don't let him freak you out. Study and you'll do fine.

Comment:

I was terrified after the first day of his class, but I stuck with it. He talks fast and can be hard to keep up with but he recaps things. He is very passionate about history and is amazingly intelligent. His lectures can be long and boring, but he's very helpful. I learned so much. Don't let the books scare you, use them for reference, not reading

Check your ego at the door, shut up and become a sponge. You'll learn more history from listening to this man then virtually any other class.

Comment:

I've had him for more than one class. His classes are boring nad he has a short temper, but he's a good guy and marks fairly easy. If you're nice to him he'll be nice to you.

Comment:

I've had him twice and he is easily the most brillant historical mind I've met. Can be a little unclear, but he is very helpful if you take time to meet with him and don't ask stupid questions like 'Who's Stalin?'

Comment:

Scatter-brained, but very smart. Insulting and trivializing, but completely fair when it comes to marking. Don't let a initial bad impression prevent you from taking his course; study well and you'll get an A.
