Comment:
Prof. Cumings brings an absolutely massive amount of knowledge to the classroom. His experience and scholarship allow him a great deal of strength with regard to assisting students shape and develop their research projects. His classes are heavily imbued with obscure details and enriched with fascinating stories. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Comment:
I've taken Asian Wars, Political Economy of INdustrialization, seminars on Korean and international history, and seminar on East Asian historiography. The comments about him not being a good person are ridiculous. He's a funny and good lecturer. He's earned a right to be opinionated; you know what you get. The Atlantic Monthly piece is BS

Comment:
worst professor I've had. Unless you agree with every one of his beliefs, skip this class. Facts and logic play no role in his classes. Pick up the Atlantic Monthly article that rips Cummings views on Korea apart. Then realize you'll be graded by the person they are laughing at. pathetic to see a person like this at a top school

Comment:
Horrible Horrible teacher. History is just his story. I could write a novel on this professors life but learned nothing important or relevant to the course. Taught a course on U.S. history and film but had no knowledge of film.
