Comment:
Professor Steinberg's class is one of the most eye opening experiences I've had at CWRU! There's A LOT of reading & he's a tough grader, but his eccentric behavior & passion is inspiring- he also improved my writing abilities! His "perspective" isn't biased, because he utilizes peer reviewed/factual sources. He's a true gem & a phenomenal academic!

Comment:
Class was extremely easy. The papers all build off of each other (1st was 1000, 2nd was 1200, third was 2000), meaning that if you do well on the first one , you're set for the class. His lectures and the material is boring, but you don't really have to focus (attendance is mandatory, participation is not).

Comment:
Do not take him for SAGES. He is so pretentious and doesn't actually care about points you try to make in your papers. If you don't argue what he wants you to in your papers then you will not do well. He also takes SAGES way too seriously and is a super tough grader. Also you always have to do the reading which can be like 60 pages a night.

Prof. Steinberg assigns various readings for class discussions, then asks obscure questions about them. When no one knows how to answer them, he stands in silence, wasting everybody's time. His lectures are boring and confusing.

Comment:
For most of the semester, Professor Steinberg was generally fair and gave time to both sides of an issue. Near the end of the semester, however, Steinberg's socialist tendencies became increasingly evident, as he presented documentaries which obviously slanted to the left.

Comment:
I take umbrage with the comments suggesting Steinberg is unfair to students who do not subscribe to his political views. As a "conservative" (I use this term to save space), I never felt put upon by Steinberg. However, he DOES challenge traditional historical perspectives, which is great for someone who paid attention in 11th grade. :) + papers eas

Comment:
This class was a total waste of time. Taught strictly from a left-wing perspective, Steinberg's view of history is hardly objective. His personal opinions are oftentimes shoved upon students in class, and his tendancy to yell and rant for 30 minutes without any helpful lecturing time lowers my opinion of him. He disrespects opposing opinions.

Comment:
He should have called this class "Crime for Commies". Not only is everything he teaches one-sided, but he shows open sarcasm and disdain for students who disagree with his views. I tried to point out counterexamples even on the rare occasion that I agreed with him just because he's such a jerk. Grading is easy: you write his opinion and get an A

This might as well be Environmental history. Lectures on social history of trash. No incentive to come to lectures except attendance policy but class is very easy.
