Comment:

Seminar: 5 book reviews 3-5pgs plus 20 page thesis. Does not grade or give back anything so you dont know how your doing. He didnt need the full class time for the seminar so he just lectured on a survey of history. Very helpful on the paper I can see why people would think hes boring during a normal class Very good professor with interesting ideas

Comment:

Good guy, knows his stuff. Dry sense of humor, which is hilarious. Class is straightfoward, midterm, final, and 5 book reviews (3-5 pages). It's not difficult at all. The key to the tests is know all the identification vocabulary, which he posts online. Do that, and you're golden. I would definitely recommend taking him if you get a chance.

Great professor. Very smart. Dry sense of humor. Is a bit of a low talker, so sit up front of the class. But the guy is an excellent teacher.

Comment:

i hated going to this class. this teacher is unbelievable. he makes you memorize over 100 terms and he only puts 30 on the test. a lot of ppl that go to his class leave during the lecture. plus it's hard to hear him and he has a voice that can out anyone to sleep. if u get him i recommend dropping the class or getting a different teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Ninkovic is one of the most knowledgable professors I have ever had. I had him as an undergrad and again in graduate school. He is willing to spend extra time with you to help you write better papers and do better research. A fun, dry sense of humor

Nink is awesome. He has an extremely dry sense of humor and it comes out in his lectures. Easily one of the best history profs in the school and one of the smartest. His books, especially "The Wilsonian Century" have had a lasting impact on m

Very boring guy. I went to that class just to take a nap. He only gave a midterm, final and paper but it was hard as hell. He makes you memorize like 150 terms (no joke)and write about it. Its a hard class. DONT TAKE Please
