Comment:

I'm going to miss him so much! Best professor so far at college! Extremely intelligent, makes you think of material in ways you never thought before. But assigning a final essay incorporating all the reading a week after a research paper is killer.

Comment:

Excellent on the subject. He has a passion for what he does, it's inspiring. However, because he feels so strongly about history, his class will be difficult if you do not want to work hard. If you do, you will learn A LOT.

Highly recommend. Challenges and encourages critical thinking. Papers required, so prepare topics in advance if you dont want to scramble at the last minute. Will meet with you if you need help,so definitely take advantage of that. Overall, very good.

Professor Salzman is unquestionably one of the finest professors I have ever had. He's hard, he's tough. But he's fair and encouraging. Just do your work and pay attention... You just might learn something.

Comment:

You must attend class and do most of the reading. He likes when you speak in class but you do not have to. He is very demanding but as long as you put in effort he is always willing to help you. He may be strict but overall he is a very good person.

Comment:

Salzman is easily the best professor I have had, he is hard, and he is demanding, and he will push you to the point of insanity, but that's because he actually cares about you learning something. If you're actually willing to do some work and work for your grade, you'll be satisfied. A genuinely nice person as well, and cares about his students.

Comment:

His class is def hard, but he demands alot because he actually wants to see his students learn something...you have to be interested in the class or your doomed...but if it's something that your interested in he is def your man. He will push you to your limits, but he will guide you every step of the way if you ask him to...

Comment:

Very rude and unrealistic in his expectations, loud, offensive, mean. He Abuses his power shamelessly. An egomaniac with no regard for others. He is caught up in a myth of himself as someone special, and people buy into it, but really he is just a pathetic bully and a disgrace to humanity.

Hey if you want to work hard for your grade and have someone change your life take this teacher. He is very hard in the classroom and demands the impossible, however you will be pushed to your limits. He is helpful in his office and he is nice once you open up to him. Thank you....crutches

Salzman is not only brilliant, but also a genuinely caring person. You will leave his class exhausted, but it's worth the effort. He is by far the best teacher I have ever had and taking his class is the best experience I've had in all my time in any school!

Comment:

Prof Salzman is unprofessional and extremely unhelpful. If u agree with his politics and ideas, he is for u. If not, forget it - no discussions allowed here! He grades based on pers opinion. He presents old ideas as tho they are his. he needs to get over himself. I learned nothing in his class.

Comment:

Prof. Salzman is really hard and he expects a lot from students but you will really learn a lot in this class. He opens up your mind to new ways of thinking about history and new ways to approach doing research. It is a very valuable class, but difficult.

Possibly the best professor I have ever had and one of the most difficult. He assigns a tremendous amount of reading and expects you to be on your toes in class. He is a great guy and you will learn a lot but be prepared to work very hard.

IF you are a liberal this class is for you! This guy is hard and jumps from topic to topic. He loves Dubois and looks like him a little bit also.
