Very funny and passionate about the subject matter, the type of professor you talk to after class for fun. Reasonable grader. We had one easy group project, and he goes over all the readings in discussion. Participation will help your grade. I enjoyed attending his classes!

He is really a good guy. He is willing to help u whatever trouble u have. He has excellent lecture speeches and he really cares about his students. The only problem would be the large amount of readings, high course difficulty and test-heavy gradings.

I love Corrin! He is willing to help if you go to office hours and show that you're trying to get a good grade. The only thing is that he hates when people don't participate in class, so if you participate he will love you.

Comment:

I want to preface by saying Corrin is a nice guy. The class is dreadful and monotonous. Every class is the same- he just talks, about his liberal views. Lectures and discussions have no differentiation. Unfair tests- Gives ridiculous paper assignments that require you to read two books in the midst of massive other readings he assigns every week.

Comment:

He is a very smart guy who loves history. His office hours are very helpful. He does what he can with the course, which is dense to begin with. He shoves a lot of information down your throat and jumps around a lot. But he is one of the better options for teachers in this course. I'd rather take him than someone else.

Comment:

Corrin is the biggest and most pompus liberal i have ever encoutered, in his jsa lectures he will feed you lies and misinformation that if you are not paying attention u will not be realize. He is one of the many bu professers who can get away with biast and inefficiant teaching by rellying on the misinformed knee jerk liberal college student at bu

I had trouble staying awake, but that was with all classes. Porf. Corrin was a great teacher and puts a lot of knowledge down your throat. Keep up wit the work and don't fall asleep. he doesn't like that.

Professor Corrin is one of a kind. Go to office hours and get to know this guy. His lectures are interesting and he loves to throw in his personal stories, some of which are quite funny. Hope you're a libral, otherwise you're in for a lot of Bush bashing.

Comment:

Girls love him cuz he is smart. He teaches half history, half of his personal political views. Very interesting man, but he doesnt realate anything, just kinda talks for 4 hours a week and asks students questions to prove what they didnt absorb from him.
