Comment:

I decided to rate him because everyone says hes a perv. I've had him for two classes so far as well as my sister had him when she was in class. He has always been professional and has never crossed the line Trust me, I know a creep when I see one. Pankratz is not it. Show up and write the papers. I did this and we have a mutual respect.

Comment:

Is very open to abstract answers and varied approaches to history. Generates fascinating and relevant discussions in class. Provides very useful study guides for tests and covers in class almost all of the broad topics included on exams. Is a little disrespectful towards Christianity at times.

Comment:

I took his class because I needed a history class and I saw great reviews. This was a huge mistake. Horrible teacher, horrible class. If you are looking for an interesting teacher, look else where. If you are looking for an easy A, then this is your class. But be warned: the A almost wasn't even worth it.

Comment:

He really knows what he is talking about! It seems like A LOT of work in the beginning with the books and all the online articles but I never opened any of the books&only read 4 articles for my sort essays that were required. He keeps your attention&very friendly! I HIGHLY recommend to take him ! In fact I am enrolled in another one of his classes!

Comment:

Engaging, interesting, intelligent, dramatic guy. Lecture is mostly class discussion, readings can be dense and long but he will point out the important parts and is very good at explaining them. Particularly if you are just taking history as an elective, or want to experience one of Albright's best profs - take him!

Comment:

This man was born to teach! His enthusiasm for even the most boring historical events is what makes every class interesting. Yes I also think he loves the ladies but doubt he has ever crossed the line, not even during class of 99's senior week festivities. Take as many of his classes as you can.

The seminar is on food. C'mon how awesome is that. And besides, he looks like Ben Franklin when his hair flies from walking too quickly. Definitely one of the best at Albight.

Comment:

Classes are cake. Should've co-oped my major with history...they are that easy. He likes to hit on the girls in the classes though and has a history of being at the parties with them. I'll leave it at that.
