Love him so much. Absolute gem of a human being. He comes off a bit scary initially over emails but hes the nicest guy. Hilarious and knows Europe really well and will integrate it into the class. Just make sure your laptop or phone is charged. Its a loooong class and it gets a bit dry at times. There is a break halfway through though so it's good.

Professor Izady is an excellent professor and very funny. He has excellent scholarship and his lectures are very informative. I truly recommend him because you could learn so much and receive an A as long you take notes and pay attention during class.

Comment:

I only took this class for AOK fulfillment and I was never a history person since I tend to pass out at the mention of ancient stuff. This guy is hilarious and makes everything interesting. Makes really good points and gives hilarious examples and jokes to go along with what he says. Just two essays for home and no in-class assignments.

Comment:

HIS 114 is a good class but not at all what the course description said. Don't take if you're expecting a class about the Renaissance. Professor Izady is very funny and his lectures aren't boring, but it's impossible to know how you're doing in the class because there's almost no assignments. Often lets class out early

I really was worried that I would not pass this class. I did not get in all my film assignments & I was so sick this semester I did not make most of the classes. My art professor who I took last semester and got a B+ failed me cause I missed his class. I was really just sick he had no mercy. Professor Izady passed me. He is a fair professor

Izady is a god amongst men. An anomaly at PACE- he cares about his students. His class is so interesting my friend (who doesn't even go to PACE) sat in on class every week. When security wouldn't let him in, Izady fought them. Literally. I am a Finance major and I loved his humanities class. The man is an absolute legend, plain and simple.

Adorable professor, very nice. Tries to be funny at times. Rambles on a lot but pay attention to topic that will be on exams while he is talking and you will be fine.
